STATE LINE STREET.

About two years ago the people OF
Hammond and West Hammond went
to the trouble and expense of open
ing State Line street through from
its southernmost end to Plummer
avenue.
At that time THE TIMES pointed
out the great advantages that would
accrue to the business district of
Hammond and to West Hammond as
a result of the opening of this street
The people who were compelled to
pay for the opening of this street
have not had one bit of benefit as a
result of the improvement for the
simple reason that the street has not
been paved and is therefore impassa.
BILE for most of the traffic.
The people of West Hammond and
Hammond, who are interested in
this matter, do not seem TO realize
that a street might as well have a
blind end as to be impossible.
1t is time the property owners or
both sides of the line were getting
some return on their investment In
the form of benefits from the open
ing of traffic on the street
The traffic on Holman street i;
now greatly congested Some sor
of relief is needed at once. The paw
ing of State Line street would TAX,
care of great deal of this an;
would have a tendency to refiec
value on State line property.
AS soon as State Line street i
paved to the south corporate limit
of West Hammond then the countie
of Lake and Cook will take up tn
matter of paving the street to tn
Schrum road where it is now paved
This will give Hammond and Yves
Hammond a new means of access I
the truck farming districts to tn
south of the city.

THE TAFT DEFENSE.

The Taft explanation-what may
be called the Taft defense, or rather
an abstract Of it, was given to the
readers of The Herald yesterday.
While the row be ween the two fac
tions of the republicans does not
concern the democrats merely as
democrats, there are things about
that celebrated Chicago convention
which concern us all, rather as citi-
Zens than as republicans and demo-
Gratis. 1t has been openly charged
by the so-called progressives. that
the nomination of Taft was brought
about by processes which they have
described as stealing"
1t is perhaps unfortunate that
charges like that have been made
before in the history of our political
struggles in this country. A great
pity surely, yet we are well Used to
them and do not become too much
agitated because Of them. The real
thing that concerns us in this case
is the prominence of tie s~o-called
theft and the great va ne of the
goods said to be stolen. Is the
charge true? If true, the thing is
alarming-apalling. AT very much
concerns the men accused of the
theft to come forward with their de-
Tense if they have fny; and it very
much concerns us both democrats
and republicans, II weigh and con-
slider the defense.
The abstract eli the presidents case
printed in The Herald. is not con
vincing, perhaps because it is only
an abstract. 1t outlines the defense,
lets us know the nature Of it, but ii
is merely a. the pleading of the de-
PENDANT IL. court, denying the allie
cations IF the plaintiff. The wit
nesses are not produced and their
testimrny is not given. Perhaps
the case in it's completed state, as
prepared by the presidents secre-
tary may be entirely conclusive as
to he innocence of the defendant.
AS patriots we will hope SO.
