AFTER hearing evidence which
was convincing, and the strongest
OF which came from the lips of DR..
Joseph Pile, of Wilmington, who
is democrat, and who absolutely
stated that further confinement
wonld jeopardize the life and health
Of John Goodwin, because of tuber-
chlar affection, the Board of Par
dons deemed it proper to recomend
pardon, and which recomenda-
ton the Governor promptly acted
npon favorably and set Goodwin
sfree last Friday. The Board of Par
dOns were unanimous that mercy
should be shown to Goodwin bv rea-
sonoof his affliction, but differed as
tolwhether the pardon, which car
ried with it the wiping away of the
,disfranehising part of the penalty.
In view Of the fact that mercy
should be shown to the extent ofl
giving the unfortunate man the op- |
portunity to recover his health
without worry or grief to act as
deterrent, it seems that the majority
ofthe Board Of Pardons acted wisely.
The law for political crimes does
not demand that life, or that per
manent health shall be forfeited.
and in Godwin's case either might
have been forfeited. The two dis
senting were willing to make the
pardon without restoration of the

which the Chronicle showed up at

OF Democratic wastefulness and in

THE Levy Court Of Kent County
has shown the taxpayers Of that
county, that it is the purpose oi
the Democratic Party-so far as
Kent County is concerned not to
build good roads, but continue the
old system Of irresponsible spend
ing Of the taxes, without a definite
plan and, worst of all, without
practical knowledge Of how to
either build or repair a public road.
This same Democratic Levy Court
refused to put into operation the
Soper Good Roads Law, a law
framed by Democrat and passed
by Democratic House Of Repre-
sentatives. The peoples money to
the amount of $4,000 and more
each year, is dribbled into the
hands Of their party henchmen,
who absorb the money in wasteful
temporary repairs, God save the
mark, to two hundred and sixty
sections of the county roads. III
The Democrats of Dover, who ap-
pear to be directing the affairs Of
he Levy Court will be honest
enough to try to give the people
cal good roads for the taxes paid
nd by them spent, they would be
ntitled to at least approval for hon
sty of purpose but such is not the
ase, and the people realize that
leir roads will never be any better
ntil a Republican Levy Court is
iven the power to do justice. I

From the northern end to the south

along its course will be increased
in value many hundreds of thous-

this will come to the real estate, the

that this great highway is not to be

MEETING PLANNED
FOR NEXT WEEK
Joint Meeting Between Gary
and Hammond May Not
Take Place.

The members Of the Gary Employ
ers Builders and Material Mems asso-
citation will go to Hammond next
Thursday evening, where they will
hold a joint meeting with the Ham
mond Business Mems association rela-
tive to the strike situation that now
confronts the entire Calumet region
The association believes that the
Hammond association are unfamiliar
with the true situation in Gary, and it
is with this view that they will go
to put their claims before the Ham
mond body. At the last meeting of
the Hammond association they claim
that labor officials who We're present
misrepresented the situation as it is in
Gary.
President John +. McGarry of the
Hammond Business Mems association
said this morning that meeting of
the board Of directors of the associa
tion would be held Sunday at which the
matter would be taken UP He said
that he is not at all certain that the
meeting will be held Thursday, as an
nounced by the Gary men. There seems
to be an inclination on the part OF
the Hammond association to keep Out
of the affair.

WRECK ON
CENTRAL THIS
MORNING

A broken journal in a freight car
caused a peculiar wreck on the Michi-
gan Central railroad a half block west
cf the depot in Hammond this morning
shortl after nine o'clock. A big steel
dump car laden with macadam stone
plowed into the ground work and
foundation of the signal bridge just
east of the depot and moved one end Of
that structure about fifteen feet. The
rods and iron on the tower were bent
and twisted but substantially had
it been erected that even heavy ctone
car could not wreck it entirely. No
one was injured. The car which cause
the trouble was the fifth one from the
caboose. The engine and cars ahead
were left undisturbed and proceeded on
thcir way to Gibson. The train was
in charge of Conductor John Potter and
Engineer Broker.

From today on Tow1e's Opera House

Probably the best attraction in the
way of drama to which the people OF
Hammond and the surrounding cities
may look forward to is the Melting
Pot. which Walker Whfteside will ap-
pear.
Whiteside has long been regarded as
a great actor, but in The Melting Pot
he appears al his best. This is his
masterpiece, and in view of the fact
that the play deals with the foreign
population that has come to these
shores 1T should not be missed by 9

problem the proper thought. THE

Outlook Improves.

The outlook for the sale of real es-
tate IN Hammond is improving as
spring approaches. There have been
more-inquiries during the past week
than there have been at any time dur
ing the present winter
There is general confidence in the
situation locally, and it is expected that
the sales of property this spring will
exceed anything IN the history of the
city. This will be true especially if
the trouble between the~unions and the
contractors is settled.

have been started in the. Lake superior
