The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1912-06-07

1t is one of the absurdities of life
that we all stand in line eager for a
chance to take our hats off to any
man with money enough to loaf at
public expense. and hold our noses
high in the air when we pass the man
or woman who washes our dirty
shirts for us.
1t is a characteristic of most great
men that they have never hesitated
to do any useful thing when 1t was
necessary.
The same hired man" whose
sister was hired girl" was found
by one of his body guard, when he
was President of the United tSates,
lsitting on the edge of the bed, clad in
his nightie, sewing a suspender but
ton on his pants.
This was not a freak of greatness.
1t was an evidence of 1t.
The highest ambition is the desira
to serve.

chase money is paid. If there is no
damages against the violator of the
building restrictions. or against the
original owner of the subdivision, it
is possible that a restraining order
would be granted.
1t would be a good thing if the
residents of the south side made a
test of this case and took some action
to enforce building restrictions. It
would have a salutary effect on the
whole community.
Incidentally 1t should be remarked
that there are sections of the city
which, because of their location, are
naturally the homes of workingmen.
millmen, artisans and men of that
character
There should be no restrictions
against such property, excepting a
building line restriction, for the rea-
son that many of these men build
their homes on the unit plan. They
build a couple of rooms at time and
then add to them.
1t is better for a citizen to own 4
lot with a one room house on 1t than
1t is for that citizen to pay rent. This
man who owns his own home, nc
matter how humble that home may
| be, 1t is ten times more of an asset to
the community than a transient
| fioater
| So certain sections of the city
should be reserved for the home seek
er of small means. He should be en-
couraged to build no matter how
simple that home might be-
But where building restrictions
are imposed they should be enforced
strictly in the interests of uniformity
of development. If the south side i
to become the high grade residential
district of the city such measures n
have been taken for the protection o.
the district from buildings of an in
ferior character will have to be en-
forced.

W|LBER BROTHERTON
LAUDS WOODROW WILSON
Says He's One of the Greatest
Constructive Statesmen
of the Day

My choice for the Democratic nom
ination tor the presidency Is Wood
rev Wilson" says Wilber Brotherton,
prominent Detroit citizen. Il look
upon Gov. Wilson as true statesman.
He has studied the problems OF gov
ernment and has thought through
them to the public interest. His view
point is the broad viewpoint OF the In
tGrest of the nation, not any special,
or sectional interest.
Il thing his position on the ques-
tioIs of direct legislation illustrates
this statesmanlille attitude At one
time he was opposed TO the initiative,
referendum and recall, but when he
became convinced that these
measures were practical he had the
courage and good sense 10 admit his
error and has come out strongly in
favor of them. He has not gone with
the current as his enemies say; he
has simply recognized that IL We are
to have a government OF the people,
by the people, and for the people, that
there must be some machinery for
getting an expression of the popular
Will, ana the initiative, referendum
and recall are the best methods that
have been devised for a country with
q large population.
''On the basis OF Gov. Wilson's rec
ord in New Jersey, | look upon him
as one oil the great constructive states
men of the day. He went into office
and smashed the machine which had
held the state completely in its grip
fur Years and has brought the gov
ernment OF New Jersey nearer TO the
people than It ever was before.
"One thing that struck me about his
methods there was the complete pub
licity that was given 10 all the affairs
of government The people of New
Jersey have been treated as stock
holders In their government, with a
right to know everything that was
going on in the conduct of their bust
ness. The people should not submit
to secret deals and backroom confer
ence that all too often will not stand
the light of day"

Former President of Municipal

stances Of Withdrawal

J. l.. Hudson, who resigned as pres
ident OF the Detroit Municipal league,
Following long letter from Secre-
tary Anthony Pratt, In which the lat.
ter also rendered his resignation and
intimated That's Mr.. Hudson had gone
back on the leagues principles, has
issued the following statement In con
nection with the matter:
There is not much TO be said. OF
course ! was surprised when | re-
ceiyed Mr.. Pratt's letter. The crit
icisms made. think, were unjust and
biased, especially what was said about
the letter | wrote Guy Miller. Mr.
Pratt knew my attitude as to Gov.
Osborn's calling the special session.
think IL was a mistake, and | be-
lleve IL was unwise and not in accord
ance with the constitution 10 attempt
TO pass such primary law as the
governor desired. When | saw in one
OF the newspapers that someone, pre-
tending to be myself. had called Mr.
Miller on The phone and criticised
him for voting as he did, felt IL was
a good opportunity TO commend Mr..
Miller for taking what | considered
the right position in the matter.
When Mr.. Pratt has desired me to
do anything either for him personally
or for the Municipal league. he has
not -hesitated to come to my Office
he has always been received with the
utmost courtesy, and In almost every
case his request has been granted. 1t
was neither kind nor courteous in him
TO send his letter to myself and the
executive committee without saying
word to me about 1t.
Il had something else on hand 1T
the time sor which Mr.. Pratt called
the meeting of the executive commit
tee, and telephoned him / would no
be able to be there until between
1890 and 12:40, and asked him 10
have Mr.. Payne, the vice.presldent.
take the chair, and go on with the
meeting. / was glad | had an engage
ment so that the committee would
have 80 or 40 minutes to take up the
matter before | reached the office.
When | went into the meeting some
thing else was being discussed. aid l
think the question Of Mr.. Pratt's res
ignatlon had not been taken up
-um--not sure aboutsrthat,-s- hoFoyor.
Soon after took my seat, one OF the
members of the executive committed
said TO me he thought | had taken
a wrong position in the primary rat
ter. Nothing was said by any CT the
other members of the committee, 20
I concluded they agreed with tie
criticism OF the gentleman who had
spoken. Mr.. Payne asked me TO take
the chair, but requested him TO re-
main in charge of the meeting.
"In a short time the question CT Mr..
Pratt's resignation was taken up. He
was asked IL he would not consent TO
withdraw 1t. | concluded from what
had been said aud from the attitude
of the board that they approved Mr
Pratts position and agreed with biTa
as TO what he had done. felt the
only right thing for me to do was 10

Der of the executive committee. when
