From Gary to the entrance of the
canal at East Chicago. the report sets
out. the water of the Calumet is of
comparatively good quality. but from
that canal to the junction of the Little
Calume with the Grand Calumet the
river closely resembles a septic tank
in appearance and action, where the
decomposition of organic matter is
continuously taking place. From
meteorological standpoint the contents
of the stream are grossly polluted to
the mouth of the South Chicago har-
Dor. TESTS made in the examination
showed the stream to contain from one
million to over four million bacteria

in which the sewage entering 1t trav-

considering this fact, the point must
not be overlooked that while large

extent in the course of its flow. the

| not be assumed in any way to safe
i-guard the people from q polluted lake

| sized by the fact that the survey was
made in the summer months when the
river was sluggish, and when there
was no heavy rain to create flood con-
ditions, which tend to flush out this
section of the river and so carry the
sewage many miles into the lake. Again
1t must be understood that septic ac-

I'VE find that the sewer outlets

only the greatest source of contamina-

so vile as to be almost nauseating.
These concentrated sewer eff

The mere fact that the Grand Calu-

pal business section of Hammond in the
polluted conditions set out is weighty

should take immediate steps for its

life Of ]. Frank Hanly, ex-governor Of
Indiana.
The story left out the most interest
ing part Of Hanly's life. the part that
gives the key to his characteristic
early struggles.
He is not the sort Of man to parade
his humble beginnings for political
purposes, but he began nevertheless
very low down
In a tile ditch.
Almost any old farmer in or about
Homer, ILL.,. could tell you Hanly was
a poor young fellow who dug tile
bitches for a livelihood. But
While he made the tile bitches
through the black soil of the corn belt,
he also studied law Of evenings. And
he attended every debating society in
that region. taking part.
Sometimes he would be overheard
practicing his speeches in the ditch
at least SO tradition says-punctuating
the lofty periods with the deft motions
of his long tile spade.
And then
Hanly got chance to make Fourth
of July speech that took the whole
countryside of its feet.
| Shortly afterward he moved across
the state line into Indiana and located
in Williamsport In the practice of law.
He made political speeches and won
reputation In western Indiana as an
orator. Later he located In the city
Of Lafayette. where he has a lucrative
| business.
AS governor Hanly made a national
reputation.
| He stirred the state Of Indiana as
never before by his graft prosecutions
He forced the resignation OF some OF
the state officers and recovered thou

He forced a reluctant legislature tt
pass a local option law under which
laIge part of the state is dry.
AS he is under fifty and in great re
quest on the lecture platform, Hanly
| Is likely to be heard from further.
Moreover
| He has not lost touch with the com
mon people whom he knows so well
| coming up from among them to his
present place. The politician wht
knows and sympathizes with the wants
OF the people is power.
And the career of one who climbs VI
out of ditch to be governor SHOULD
afford much cheer to the poor ane
aspiring young men.

John g. Bowman. the new president
of the Iowa State University. was
born in Davenport, Ia, May IS. 1877.
After graduating from the local high
school he entered the Iowa State Uni
versity but lack of funds necessitated
his quitting the university at the end
of the first year. He went to work
raising hogs and with the profits of
his venture he returned to the univer-
sity and was graduated in his own
original class in 1899. After leaving
the university he did newspaper work
for time in Davenport and later in
Chicago, using his spare time to study
and receiving the degree of M. A. from
his university in 1904. In the same
year he went to New York and took a
post graduate course at Columbia Uni
versity, and was appointed an instruc-
tor in English there. In 1906 he be-
came secretary of the Carnegie
Foundation and continued to fill that
position until his appointment head

TODAY's BIRTHDAY SKETCH.

Robert W. Service, who is gaining
fame in the world of literature, that
he has been called THE Kipling of
Canada" is thirty years old today.
Service is a Scotchman but was born
in England. He was bank clerk by
training, but grew tired of what he
called the drudgery OF working in
bank ana went out in the western
part Of Canada to see what he could
find 10 do. After seven years of a
precarious but interesting existence
he turned to banking once more. This
bored him again and he took to verse
writing, wrote stack of literature
of this kind, and then had half mind
to destroy it but decided to have it.
1t was ultimately published to begin
The making Of a fortune for him.
Recently Service visited New York,
and he was so pleased with that city
that he decided t. SET more of the
country. So, calmly he set out on a
Walk I New Orleans. Unfortunately
