Behind the cablegram printed above
Is the story told by theatrical writer
"a typical story OF human life.
Every year Oscar Hammerstein used
to go to Europe, looking for song birds
for his opera.
In Paris he heard Susanna Dunes

said to her. II want you." In add

Why should leave my Alphonse. who

Why indeed?
There are other things in life aside
from dollars. And Dumesnfl knew
that very well.

Well, and somebody did break her

1t is the way OF the world
The way of disillusion.

life ahead look like radiant morn

Comes a day when the fire is but
ashes. and there is no sweetheart true,
and the poor cat is dead. The mirage

SURE IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Four years ago our esteemed, not
to say, idolized, contemporary, the
Richmond Item. was tickled to death
with the steam roller. 1t referred to
the settlement of 226 contests for
Taft and none for the opposition un-
der the direction of the national adj
ministration as triumph for civic
Righteousness. But now as the steam
roller goes by the Item sits on the
Kisses and yelps. The righteousness
of the road roller all depends, it
seems, on who happens to be running

CAPT. NEWS RETIREMENT.

Indiana republicans who have been
accustomed to finding Capt. Harry
New the man who knows more about
national conventions than any one in
the world on the job will hail his re-
tirement from active political life
with a great deal of regret. He has
done as much il not more to put In
dina on the political map of this
country than any other man.
When he said in his speech to the
delegates in the Indiana headquar-
tiers at the Congress yesterday that
he had done all he could for Indiana
for IL years he told the absolute
truth. Capt. New has petted and
"babied'' and favored Indianians at
national conventions above all 9TH

diana man a favor Capt. New stood
ready at all times and at all places to
do So His work has been we'll done.

ATTENDANCE AT THE GAMES

Cities in the Northern Indiana
baseball league are not giving the
games the patronage they deserve
and what the promoters expected this
year. No reason can be assigned for
this. The quality of the sport furn-
ished is not to be questioned and for
real down right examples of the ma
tional game as it should be played
the league games whereabouts are
satisfying to the average fan. The
cities have fine parks and grand
stands. The question of cost is GER
tainly not to be considered To at
tend a Chicago game eats up dollars
where it only takes nickles to attend
the Northern Indiana league games.
In this connection a contemporary
says:
In some of the cities where the
attendance is not what 1t ought to
be the newspapers are appealing
to the people to go out to the
games as matter of local pa
triotism. They call attention to
the fact that the management has
done all that ought to be expected
to promote good, clean ball. and
the editors of the papers seem to
think that the citizens owe 1t as
matter of duty to the management
to patronize the games. 1t may or
may not be good argument. But
there is even a better reason why
the baseball games should be well
attended. and that is as stated,
because 1t is of benefit to those
who attend.
Any concern that furnishes
clean. healthful amusement to the
people OF a city is entitled to con-
sideration. But the promoters of
baseball need not make any such
appeal. They are furnishing an
amusement that is valuable In
itself. an opportunity for the busy
man to enjoy himself while getting
the open air and recreation which
he much neds at this season of
the year.
But to get the full benefit of
| baseball one should attend fire.
quently. An occasional game is a
| good thing. but regular attendance
| is better thing. For it is only by
attending regularly, and learning
| to know the players, and becoming
enthused with the spirit of the
| game. that one can get all there is
/ in baseball.

WEST HAMMoND's REDEMPTION

The city of West Hammond is COM
PEELED to bear the disgrace or another
murder case. This is regrettable in
view of the fact that the progress of
reform has been so rapid.
1t is also regrettable that the
murder may be said to be the result
of moral conditions in West Ham
mond. Had West Hammond never
attained its present reputation IL
would today be safe from intrusion by
restless, adventure seeking persons
who become central figures in its
fights and disturbances.
For years West Hammond has been
attracting the worst element to its
confines. If the citizens of that
place had hung out a sign reading:
THIS PLACE is HE'LL ON EARTH.
WE CATER TO CROOKS, THIEVES.
BAR FLIES, DEAD BEATS, MURD-
ERERS, GRAFTERS AND DISRE-
PUTABLES" it could not have been
more successful in attracting that
class of people.
1t will take years of lid tight
watchfulness on the part of the po-
lice to remedy conditions. The police
should not be criticized for the
murder which took place a few days
ago. It was heritage of the old adj
ministration.
They should be held to strict ac-
count hoUavar in tba rerforoonoa
of their duty along the following
lines:
/. Every resort In the city should
be closed up.
2. Disreputable saloon keepers
should be denied licenses and in this
way forced out of the city.
8. All known crooks, hangers on
and others of their ilk should
be driven out of the village or arrest.
ed on the charge of having no visible
means of support.
The closing of the disreputable sa.
looms will enable the decent saloon
keepers to make living and will re
move the excuse they have given fol
running resorts.
1t is apparent that the cleaning VI
of West Hammond is going to be Z
long tiresome job but Chief of Polio,
John Kulczyk and Mayor K. M
Woszczinski should be congratulated
on the progress that has been mad,
so far.
