found dead in his automobile not
far from his home about half
past three o'clock last Saturday

heart failure being probably the
cause of his death.

popultion but 1t is much smaller than
in Gary. Hammond has the largest
American born population of any OF
the cities in the region.
Now these are the cold facts. The
question, therefore, is, How can
these cities make themselves attrac-
tive to the man of high position in the
industries of the entire region, the
man on a big salary, the man who
owns the smaller Industries of the
region?"
The city of Hammond has advanced
in the solution of the problem by its
splendid accomplishment in finncing
its country club. The builders of this
club were spurred on to their accom-
plishment by the appreciation of the
fact that 100 men with an income of
$4,000 annually mean more to the
business men of the city than 500
men whose income is $1,000 annually.
But the real attraction to the peo-
pie of means and position is fine
residential district. Gary has that
and SO has Hammond. East Chicago
and Indiana Harbor have only begin
iings OF one.
Homewood is Hammond's biggest
asset and that city is now developing
another high grade residential district
in the Kenwood addition. Farther
south suburban homes are being built
on acre plots.
The point of this editorial is that
every community ought to work in
the interests OF the city beautiful and
fought to capitalize its progress along
this line.
II a community has nothing is the
way of a residential district of the
first class to offer to the high salariet
men in it's factories and other bust
ness houses then 1t should not com
Iplain when those men seek homes IL
cities that afford these advantages.
Homewood was built around
beautiful Harrison Park. East Chi
lcago has parks but they are not de
lveloped. Hammond, Whiting ant
lGary have all made their breathing
lspots available to the people by i'm
Iproving them.
The time is opportune for all of thu
lcities of the region to capitalize tn,
lefty beautiful movement. And there
lshould be some system to the work.

lcities of the region TO act harmoni
Iously. These are important question
now.

ATTRACTING WEALTH.

That one of the cities of the Calu-
met region which succeeds in attract
ing to it's residential districts the
wealthy influential people of the en-
tire district is the city which will ex-
perience the greatest and most sub
stantial growth.
The cities of Gary, East Chicago
and Hammond have approximately
the same population according to the
population of 1910. They are all In
a friendly race for supremacy in the
region.
The fact is coming to be recognized
that mere population is not every
thing. South Chicago has that bnt
that is all South Chicago has. Gary
has grown tremendously but it Is
estimated that of its $4,000 people
$1,000 are negroes, 10000 are foreign

SOUTH BEND WILL LOSE zoo.
The disposition to be made of col
lection of bears, deer. eagles and owls
forming the Leeper park zoo is puzzl-
ing the board of park commissioners
and may cause a controversy between
two municipal departments. Because of
the lack of a permanent building, to-
gether with the fact the temporary
quarters must be vacated soon, the
park commissioners would sell the zoo
animals at auction. Permission will
not be granted by the city council for
the reason the collection is almost en-
tirely donations from citizens. The
serious point of difference between the
two bodies. however. arises from the
fact that the appropriation of $500
was made 10 build a new zoo. This
money was spent for other purposes by
the park board.

THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

The denomination or William
Howard Taft for the presidency by
the republican party at Chicago on
Saturday was an act of party justice.
President Taft had in no wise been
given a square deal and his nomina
tion makes some amends for the
shabby treatment he has received at
the hands of gentlemen whose rest
less spirits has caused their sanity to
be questioned and their motives
criticized. President Taft will go
down into history as one of the great
est presidents the country has ever
had. There are many people who
ing people These will be astonished
to know that no president in the
country's history has ever been re-
sponsible for so much constructive
legislation as has Mr.. Taft. Republic
cans who are welded to new nation
aalism and other political patent
medicines are yet to learn that there
are those of both parties and of no
parties who believe President Taft to
be a great statesman and an honest
man who has been forced to cope
with an unparalleled situation in
American politics. He has come out
of the fray not unsecured but his
honesty and his craftsmanship have
not been found wanting. Republicans
who believe in the third-party move
ment-those who hold with rule-or-
ruin leadership and that is speaking
of it mildly are entitled to their
opinions but the next five months
will be fraught with conditions in
politics that are to surprise the un-
thinking. Republicans who favor
RooseveItism and it's kindred Inns
are welcome indeed to their beliefs
Their opinions are to be respected
but true republicans will be both
temperate in speech and thought. The
time is coming when they will see
things differently and it were best foI
them to be calm and withhold their
judgement. 1t is very dangerous II
go off half-cocked The country will
one of these days resume its politica
sanity. Political passions like al
other fires burn to ashes. Wisdom
should prevail. Whether the republi

remains to be seen. We do not be

minded man can hold Mr.. Taft re
