WE WANT 1888, 900 NOW.

Last year United States Engineer
George A linn of the War Depart
ment made the recommendation that
$1,333, 600 be appropriated for the
development of the waterways of the
Calumet region in Indiana
For twenty years the region has
waited for this recommendation. With
out 1t all of the congressman in the
middle west would have not been able
to get through an appropriation of
any size for this project
With it, the region may rightfully
demand the support of every CON
gresham in the middle west regard
less of politics. In fact it should be
strictly understood that this is not a
political issue
The point is that the northern part
of Lake County has the opportunity
for which it has been waiting all of
these years. The advantage must be
pressed to the utmost.
At the present time there is no
serious opposition to the Indiana pro-
ject. The antagonism of the Chicago
papers has ceased following their
conversion to Calumet regions cause.

ADDING TO THE HIGH COST.

Years ago a housewife went to the
butchers with a basket and carried
her purchase home wrapped In brown
paper Now she telephones to the
marketman. or he sends a messenger
TO her house to receive her orders.
and the goods are sent to her in
paraffined or sterilized wrapper and
IN an automobile delivery cart saws
the New York Times The telephone.
the messenger. the wrapper and the
cart and its driver must all be paid
for by the consumer. Soda crack ers
in an ornamental lined box cost more
than those sold in bulk from barrel
Lard in a sealed tin pail or butter in
an ornate packet must be more ex-
pensive than 1t used 10 be when
scooped from a tub and dropped into
the crock which the housewife sent
or took TO the shop for it, So with a
hundred other articles. They are
stored, packed, sold and delivered In
| much more expensive ways than they
were. and the additional expense
comes out of the pockets of the con-
sumers
In some respects it is luxury. In
some it is convenience In some it Is
sanitation In some it is simple neat
ness and cleanliness But whichever
it is, we greatly doubt If the average
consumer. even the one who grumbles
most at the increased cost of liv.ng,
would willingly go back to the old
order of things. even if by so doing
prices could be put back to the old
figure.

TRUE NEws-GooD NEWS.

That the election of Governor Will
son to the presidency of the United
States is not to be at least present
menace TO big business is shown by
the payment OF all the monies by the
big Schlessinger steel works site deal
on Saturday afternoon in Milwaukee
This plant to be located in North
Hammond has been the cause of
much speculation much doubt and
much concern
There are those skeptical souls
in reality-barnacle Hammond
who said that the deal would never
be losed and that the plant would
never be built
The payment of 100000 in cash
for the land indicates that these old
fogeys didn't know what they were
talking about.

By EDWIN A. NYE.

Joel Hopkins and wife drove into
Chicago from their farm near Palos
Park on a shopping expedition.
Joel wore his overalls and his wife
plain Bingham dress. The buggy was
an old one. aud the seat was stuffed
with straw The horse was a pillow an

Joel hitched bis rig at the corner Of
State and Madison streets. the busiest

For the first FIVE minutes Mrs. Hop
kins sat counting the stories of the tall
buildings thereabout. She was startled
by voices near
Bringing her gaze down. she was as
founded by the sight that greeted her
at least 200 persons gazing at the out
fit and yelling:
"Where'd you come from and
''Whered you get it?''
Policemen failed to dispense the
crowds and autos lined up. Mrs. Hop
kins was frightened and began crying
and calling for Joel
When Mr. Hopkins appeared he was
indignant and cried out.
What's the matter. honey? What
are they dom to ye?"
He started after the nearest torment
