IT IS COMING SURE.

Judging from the way that Lake
County towns and cities are growing
and the way that their interests are
becoming merged it will not be many
years until every town and city north
of the Little Calumet, and HobaEt,
below that stream lis Incorporated in

Harbor. Miller, town, and Hobart,

administration is far cheaper than six
separate governments. Laugh at it
you may but it will come In the
years that are approaching.

idea few years ago when it absorb

harbors committee.
The property owners along the
canal from One Hundred and Forty
first street to the river are expected
to take up the question of building
docks as the same time the East Chi
cago Company makes its improve
ments.
The property owners along the
Calumet river north of Hammond
have already organized for the pur-
pose of Strengthening the river and
|dedicating the necessary land to the
government.
So everything indicates that the
next two years will see some real
waterway development in the Calu-
met region. And when this comes
its progress will be rapid.

WATERWAY PROGRESS.

The news that the East Chicago
Company has let the contract to the
Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Com
pany fir the construction of several
miles of dockage indicates how fast
things move in the Calumet region
A year or two ago it seemed as
though nothing would ever be done
to improve the canal and river. Since
that time the canal has been opened
through to the river, the government
has accepted it as manageable stream,
scores of industries have located
along its banks and now finally it is
to be dug to its full width and lined
with concrete docks
This is real progress The locating
of the Baldwin Locomotive Works at
East Chicago which resulted in the
sale of million dollars worth OF
property by the East Chicago COM
pany. is responsible for the new i'm
petus that has been given the region
by the prospect of the development
of its magnificent potential water
ways
Then congress is bound to see what
is being done in this great region fol
its development and will come to it:

appropriation from the rivers ant

HOW WOULD THIS DO?

The churches of New York have
started a movement in favor of a law
which would compel every house own
er to put his name conspicuously up
on every house owned by him. This
movement is directed against the
numerous dens of vice scattered
through the city and is bitterly OPP
posed by a large number of wealthy
men having extensive real estate
holdings in this rity. The reason is,
OF course, quite plain. Many wealthy
and highly respected men and women
own houses which are used for i'm
moral and otherwise improper pur-
poses, with the full knowledge and
|connivance of the owners. The sc
|cret of the ownership is well guarded
by the agents of the owners
1t would be quite shock to the
community to learn-as would be un
avoidahle under such a law as plan
ned by the promoters OF the publicity
movement, that Mrs. X or Mr. Y,
both members of the most aristicratic
society circles and standing high in
| their respective churches own a num-
Der of notorious houses in the Tender
loin district or that the z. Estate, adj

lpiety, Sunday School superintendent

FATHER LAND AND MOTHER

TONGUE.
Our Father Land. and wouldst thou
know
Why he should call it Father Land
1t Is that Adam here below
Was made of earth by Natures hand
And he, our father, made of earth.
Hath peopled earth on every hand
And we, IN memory of his birth,
Do call our country Father Land
At first, in Eden's bower. they say.
No sound OF speech had Adam caught
But whistled like a bird all day
And maybe twas for want of thought
But Nature, with resistless laws,
Made Adam soon surpass the birds
She gave him lovely Eve because
If he'd wife they must have words
And so the native land, l hold
BY male descent is proudly mine;
The language as the tale hath told
Was given in the female line
And thus we see on either hand
We name our blessings whenc,
they've sprung;
We call our county Father Land
We call our language Mother Tongue

PASSING IT ON.

There are few-of the good things of
life that can be returned to the peo-'
pie who first gave them.
What the father does for the son,
the son does for the grandson What
the teacher does for the pupil, the
pupil transfers to those who follow
him. What the employer does for
the young clerk. the young clerk does
for others when his own success
comes. Even the neighbor in trouble
cannot repay the kindnesses of nurs-
ing and midnight watching to the
same friend whose services are offer
ed during the hour of anguish, for
that same friend may never need
them.
But the obligation to repay does
not cease because the original giver
is out of reach and free from want 1t
passes on-requiring that each one
who has received shall give, all man
kind being beneficiaries
The social delusion that one must
struggle to return favors and recipro-
crate in giving. often spoils the spirit
of the gift. 1t is. indeed, natural to
warm with kindly glow of soul toward
those whose membranes have
brought us happiness; but where the
spirit goes not with the frankincense
and myrrh. these would far better be
left ungiven
Let the gift come from the heart
and let it be given not to the one
who is entitled to it by he rules oil
bookkeeping, but to the one who needs
lit most or to whom you feel at the
time most tenderly inclined. Let II
be not merely at Christmas time but
Throughout the year. whenever suit.
able opportunities appear. And most
of all. let it not be merely of things
things to which no price can be at
Itached
i Pass 1t on The noblest conception
of generosity is that which takes NJ
other men and women who may nevel
make refund to you. but who will
REPAY the obligation by rendering i
to others in need.
For our public schools, our publi
: libraries, our public Improvement
/ for the benefit of the coming genera
. tion, perhaps the strongest argumen
is that we should do for our children
