GRAFT IN BUSINESS.

Graft is not peculiar to politics.
Business is tainted with dishonest
practices. In fact. much of the dis
honesty in public life is traceable to
the influence of profit seeking priv
ate interests.
The scandals in connection with
the management of the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, that were aired few
months ago, bore striking similari-
ty to those developed by the Merriam
commission that investigated condi-
tions in the city government. Now
another concern, the United States
Express company, has deemed it
necessary to carry on a searching in
quiry to ascertain If 1t is being rob-
bed by some of its employees.
The alleged Irregularities in this
case. too. are much like those charg-

THE STRAW HAT.

Already the death knell is being
rung for this summers straw hat,
and by the fifteenth of next month
the obsequies will take place over
most of the straw coverings that now
thatch the roofs of the average male
residents of this domain.
Assiduous delyinE in the archives
of precedent and fashion has failed
to bring forth any lucid information
on the identity of the person who de-
creed that straw hats were dead is
sue after September Is. But perhaps
it is for the best.
BY the middle of September the
average straw hat begins to look like
a tramp steamship below the water
line after she has made a voyage to
Hong Kong and return without being
given her complement of paint. The
life of the average straw hat like
that of the Miller Station mosquito, is
not long
The rays of the sun oftentimes
bleach this piece of headgear more
effectively than a bottle of peroxide
will color Dottie Coughdrop's bru-
nette curls. and the rain and the dust
and the wind play sad havoc with
the straw SO that, when the middle
of August rolls around, it's owner sits
UP nights wondering how on earth he
is going to make his hat last for an
other month.
Some men throw convention to the
wind and don their derbies long be-
fore September Is. but the average
citizen is not brave; therefore he
bows to the dictates of fashion and
custom and wears his be-draggied
straw until that day in September
when it has been decreed from time
immemorial that it Is taboo.

The doubtful dawn came dim and wan,
And DINNER grew the day;
The kildeer whisled among the words.
The blue crane changed in the river

And mist fell wild and gray.
At dawn she stood. her heavy hood
Flung back. in the ferryboat.
To watch the rebel raiders ride
Her rebel love, with his men beside,
His kiss on the mouth and throat
Like some wild spell the tempest fell,
Like some dark curse night came;
For hours she heard the warning dead,
Whose batteries opened overhead
With thunder and with flame.
And now again, in the wind and rain.
She toiled at the creaking oar.
oh. what had she heard in the night
and storm?
Whose voice was that and where the
form
That galloped to the shore?
Across the stream, in the tempest
CLEAN,
Who sent that wild hailoo?
In the lightning's glare, who was >it

The wind and rain in his tossing hair.
And his gray cloak torn in two?
Through rain and blast oar fast, oar

Look where he rides in the lightning s

But only horse. with head hung low.
A blur of blood on the saddlebow,

Our own ports-Gary, Hammond,

share of the benefits If the waterway
scheme pans out. In the early days
waterways in this section were a
greater factor in inland commerce
than they are today. A growing de-
mand for cheaper freight tariffs
which the railways cannot give is re-
sponsible for the plans to revive the

REFORM is TRIUMPHANT.

The mayor and four of the West
Hammond councilmen have proven
themselves worthy of their trust.
The other four councilmen are can
didates for the discard. They will
be weeded out in the course of events.
And incidentally the people of
West Hammond have shown their
temper Enthusiastically. 1t is about
time that the dive keepers who have
hung to this community like leeches
were shaken off, once and for all
time.
Great reforms are only accomplish
ed by men with backbone, men with
honesty of purpose, men who place
principle above private gain. Such
is the character of Mayor X. NJ.
Woszcynski, who cast the deciding
Planer. Richard Zimmerman and
Daniel Slaivn.
The men who have proven them
selves entirely unworthy Of public
trust and who have cast discredit on
their nationality are Joseph Wierz-
vitcki. Mike Modrzejewski. Alex
Kowalski and John Jaranowski. It
was the Polish people in West Ham
mond who began this reform and 1t
is a sad commentary on the four
|councilmen who voted in favor of the
dives that they failed utterly to rep
resent their continents.
The community appreciates the
service that has been done it by the
mayor and the four aldermen who
have stood steadfast in the fight for
a clean city.
THE TIMES suggests that the good
citizens of West Hammond and Ham
mond who appreciate the service that
these men have rendered in protect
ing their homes and the virtue of
their women show that appreciation
by calling the mayor and the four
aldermen up on the telephone and
congratulating them.
Mayor Woszcynski's telephone
number is 377, Christ Wunschels is
Isis, Richard Zimmerman's is ia,
Dan Slavin's is S37 w. Otto Planer's
name is not In the directory but
postal cards may be sent to him.
People who want to do something to
aid, this movement should show their
appreciation by at least telephoning
their congratulations to the above
named men.
| AS to the four Judas Iscariots of
the West Hammond cause, who are
also named In this editorial they
should be treated with contempt, as
| things unclean, a menace to the
sanctity of the home
They should be made to see that
decent people do not approve of their
cent people do not approve of their
course of action, that the dive keep
ers are but a small factor in the stu
alton after all and a poor element to
| tie to.
| They should be shown that this
dive question is sure 90 be decided In
the interests of the home after all and
when the last dive is eliminated, the
keepers seek greener pastures, the
last wearer of the red letter is gone
and the dissolute characters have
vanished for ever, that all they will
have in return for their support OF
the dives is the contempt of decent
people

in George AIDES rollicking comedy. Father
and the Boys This is the big Criterion
Theater success. in which William IL.
Crane starred for three years, and which
he revived with great success last sea-
son at the Garrick Theater in New York.
The story of the play is built about the
personality Of lovable old gentleman
whose greatest dissipation prior to it's
beginning had been the indulgence of an
appetite for an apple and glass of milk
before retiring to his room at 10 o'clock
at night This model character suddenly
feels impelled to teach his lazy, irrespon-
sible and somewhat dissipated sons the
error OF their ways. In the performance
of the object lesson he becomes con-
slant companion of young actress, wins
large sums of money by gambling on the
turn of a roulette wheel and bankrupts
the ''bookies'' at the race track by plung-
ing on long shots" that manage to cross
under the wire several lengths ahead OF
the favori.es. There are various sub
themes and numerous love interests in
the play. but 1t Is first and foremost
clean and diverting comedy.
