KILL THE COCAINE TRAFFIC.

ft the Gary police department can succeed in breaking up the nefarious
cocaine traffic in the city, they will win everlasting commentator from the
business men and decent citizens. When the cocaine fends of Chicago got
al entering wedge in the Calumet region, after being suppressed in South
Chicago, through the efforts of the TIMES, they came to Hammond. In Ham
mond such publicity vas given to the heIish traffic by the TIMES that the
druggists who we're selling it became frightened and to all appearances the
Chicago coke sufferers cannot get any in Hammond. Then they focked to
Whiting, where a Whiting druggist sold them the drug In such quantities
that he was getting rich. But here, a before in the other places, the
TIMES revealed the extent of the traffic until it was impossible to buy it in
Whiting. Then the unfornates turned to East Chicago and Indiana Harbor,
where it was sold to them surrepdtiously until the TIMES expose. Now the
coke fends have invaded Gary. As far IS ear be learned the druggists refuse
to sell the powder, but there are a number of places where private parties
are doing a land office business in disposing the drug. The traffic has been
going N for some time and the police al do Gary n o better service than by
tracking the fends o the coke des and making a stern example of the Of
tenders against law and morality who sell the drug.
HEALTH OFFICERS ALL over the country, to whom the birth of children
are reported are presenting statistics which show that during the past six
months the preponderance of boy babies has been six Ito one girl The rule has
held in Lake county to a surprising degree. The fact has been said by hstor-
ias presage val and has been proven in many cases before the great wars
in the past where the children born were nearly all boys.

ooh. YE OF LITTLE FAITHr"

There is considerable doubt whether the people of East Chicago have
cause for citation owe the decision of Judge Montgomery that the city has the
right to dispose of the central park in East Chicago for twenty-five acres out
side of the city.
Not only the people of East Chicago but the people of Hammond, Whiting
and Indiana Harbor are looking forward to the time when East Chicago will
be the center of that new Northern Indiana municipal marvel the city of Calu-
met which shall include all of the cities of North township
Some day, and at not such a distant date either, the people of East Chi
cago. Hammond. Whiting and Indiana Harbor viii be faced with the necessity
Of securing a site for the city hall for the e city Of Calumet, a site that will
be worthy Of a building that will cost half a million dollars.
Shall it besaid of the present East Chicago city officials that they were
so shortsighted that they traded the ideal site for such a building for twenty
five acres of outlying property that could be bought for a song?
Oh, yes, East Chicago now has a city hall, but look into the future, you
men of little faith, and you will see that the present splendid East Chicago
city hall will only be acceptable a a police station for that magnificent amalg
amated city of Calumet with its quarter of a million people.
And that new city of Calumet will need to develop its civic centers That
civic center could be located on no nor imposing site than that of the
present central park, fronting as it does on Chicago avenue, one of the widest
business streets of the Calumet region. VIII East Chicago sell its brthright
for a mass Of pottage?

The man who swabbed the deck that

This is the true story:
Newberry's father, who vas a rich
manufactures, sent his son to Yale
college. When the boy graduated his
father offered him a clerkship with a
promise of an early partnership. The
son was independent and had plans of
his own. He took a place as clerk in
another firm.
Newberry served several years,
studying the manufacturing business.
Then he started in the steel a spring
manufacturing line for himself and
got rich at it.
When he could afford it he bought
a yacht, took the regular examination
and held a commission both as captain
and pilot. Newberry did nothing by
halves.
He became very enthusiastic about
the naval militia.
In order to know all aboutsit he en-

When Roosevelt became president
he made Newberry assistant secretary
of the navy, the position he had him

Newberry was well equipped for hi
