A great majority of the people realize this fact, but many seem to think that unless printing is done in a large city shop, it can not be as good as it should be. This is 6 mistake, especially in 70 far as this city Is concerned, because

Pete Wilson of Valparaiso is one OF
every political gathering in the state
and convention without him would
not be complete.
After the state convention Pete was
as Disguised with the Porter county
delegation as some of the Lake county
politicians were with the representa-
tives from this country.
1t appears that Wilson tried to get
on the state delegation and failed. He
is recognized as one of the most astute
politicians in this section, but he is
used to playing the game with the old
line politicians and he knows how to
deal with them.
When the time came for the selec-
ton of the delegate in his precinct
Wilson found that the caucus had been
packed with preachers, Sunday school
teachers and the representatives of the
"uplift' in Valparaiso.
He was disguised. He knew that he
could not deal with that gand and so
he withdrew from the race. School
Superintendent Farrell was elected In
his place, and all during the conven-
ton Wilson gave vent to his feelings
by criticising the political moves of
the man who had defeated him.
He furnished no end of fun for the
Valparaiso contingent by picking out
the weak political moves of his friend
Farrell. During one of the meetings of
the Porter county delegation Wilson
says Farrell exclaimed: Gentlemen, I
would like to have you adjourn this
meeting until tomorrow morning; 1
have an important session with the
delegates from the sixth district"
Then Wilson's ire got the best of
him and he said: Just to think that
districts while I could not carry my
own precinct"
The Porter county delegates carried
out about the same program as the
Lake county men and Wilson was the
most Disguised man at the state capt.
tai. When it was all over Wilson
sadly remarked: Il am going to Fort
Wayne to get my mother. We will go
to Valparaiso together and perhaps
mi ho- rryif
less danger of my being shot"

dope fiend asleep in the theater while
the show was going on,
A year or two ago when a certain
Hammond young man was arrested for
the last of a series of robberies after
he had been given every chance TO
reform, he was asked why it was that
he should steal those cigars from
Kussmauls store when he knew that
he was watched by the police, when he
knew that he could not sell them, and
knew that he did not want them for
his own purposes.
The young man replied by way Of
explanation that he was a dope flend
and while partially under the influence
of the narcotic could not resist the
temptation to steal. He was asked
where he got the drug and replied that
he bought it here in Hammond at a
local drug store.
His reputation for truth and veracity
was exceedingly poor and his evidence
would not count for much in court.
but there was the possibility of truth
in the story that was worth an investi-
cation.
Since then the traffic has been in
creasing and the druggists have been
less careful about the aisle of the drug
than ever before. If the Hammond
doctors are right in their claims the
condition of affairs here is terrible.
Recently the state board of health
sent circulars to all Of the Hammond
druggists asking them for the names
of those whom they knew to be the
victims Of the morphine or cocaine
habit, but as far as Hammond is con-
cerned there were few if any responses
for the reason that a man who sold
the drug would incriminate himself,
and that man who did not would not
think of revealing the names of those
whom he knew to be addicted to the
habit.
For this reason the statistics that
will be prepared as a result of this
canvass will not be very reliable, and
it is not probable that the names of
only small fraction of the users will
be secured.
Nevertheless the traffic 1ourishes and
on account of the profit there is in the
Chicago trade, great many of the
local druggists have said to themselves,
Am I my brothers keeper" and let
it go at that.
