HAMMOND AND GARY LINES
FAIL TO GET INTO CHICAGO
Kensington and Eastern Franchise Grant Is Blocked
Because of Opposition of Residents of
Kensington.

The twenty-year franchnise for the
Kensington & Eastern railroad. which
would give the Illinois Central
freight inlet to Gary. and an entrance
to Chicago for the interurban lines of
Hammond and Gary. northern Indiana
and Ohio, was killed in the council
yesterday afternoon by its failure to
get one of the required thirty-stx votes.
Eighteen aldermen were recorded
against the grant
Immediately after the vote Alder
man Moynihan reintroduced the ordi-
nance, and it is reasonably certain it
will pass later. because a majority of
the aldermen desire to encourage the
interurban traffic toward Chicago.
There were few objections to the terms
of grant Its defeat yesterday was
charged directly to the roads past
reputation in dealing with Chicago and
the State of Illinois.
The property owners of Kensington
demanded twenty five feet on Front
street, paved with brick. as a condi-
ton to passing the ordinance. The
public lands committee indorsed that
demand and Chairman McCoid pre-
sented letter from President Hara-
han saying that the concession would
be made Then Chairman Foreman of
the local transportation committee
called up the franchise for passage.

That is the utterance of the greatest
editor Of the south. Henry Watterson,
In his lecture on Lincoln.
On the 18th day Of February next
will be celebrated the one hundredth
anniversary Of Abraham Lincoln's
birth.
Eulogies will be pronounced. and ora
tors viii analyze the beginnings and
trace the growth Of this great soul, but
when all is done they must come back
to the conclusions OF Watterson.
God made Lincoln.
And Lincoln, in the making, cooper
ated with the Divine purposes.
You cannot account for Lincoln on
the theory of heredity. At their very
best his people were accounted as
''poor white trash" Nor can you ac-
count for him on the theory Of en-
vironment. There was nothing In his
surroundings that would make great
man.
And yet
1t is scarcely impious to suggest that
since the days Of Christ himself no
LDAu WIS 80
If you wish to realize this state
ment In its fullness, read over again
the beatitudes Of the sermon on the
mount and note how Linceln's char
acter fills the measure of these beati-
tudes.
Blessed are the mercifui." Who
was more merciful than this man,
whose soft heart ached for the suffer
| ing south and who could hardly be
| forced to consider the death Of a de-
serter?
Blessed are the pure ip heart. =
How that fits Lincolnl His great
white soul" was as innocent of guile
as that Of child.
Blessed are the meek" Who was
neeker in his high position than this
shy, awkward giant?
Go on and read about the peace
makers and all the rest, and you VIII
be forced to Watterson's conclusions.
Since Lincoln no one ought to find 4
difficult to understand how the divine
and the human could be merged In {
man.
What is the worth Of that celebTa
ton at the tomb in Springfield GENE
terry and at Lincoln farm.
It is to be found in the law of as
sanitation. A people is asgimilated
