CONCERTED ACTION NEEDED.

Now that the city administration
in Hammond has decided to petition
for the construction of the extension
OF Calumet avenue from Gostlin
street through to It's intersection
with Sheffield avenue ;some organic
ed effort should be made to indicate
to the commissioners the widespread
interest in this project
For instance a petition should be
circulated in Whiting urging the
completion of Calumet avenue for
the reason that 1T will give that city
direct acsess to the gates of the
Northwestern Iron Co. A similar pc
tition should be circulated in Rob
ertsdale for that suburb of Ham
mond will then have access, not only
to the new plant, but to the eastern
and western sections of Hammond as
well.
Then the people of Highlands and
Munster have an interest in the pro-
ject for 1t will link those tremend-
ously prosperous communities with
the great market to the north.

REPUBLICAN MEASURES.

The following would indicate that
the Republican party does something
besides talk says the Laporte Herald
1t is a party of action:
The Emancipation Proclamation
was Republican measure.
The Homestead Act was Repub-
lican measure
The resumption of specie pay
ments was a Republican measure.
1t was Republicans who enacted
those great statutes for the common
good that have made the last few
years historic
Republicans established the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
Republicans wrote the railway
rate law,
Republicans wrote the pure food
law
The Republican party wrote the
meat inspection law
The irrigation law was the work
of Republicanism.
The employers liability law
enacted by Republicanism
Republicanism also broke ground
for that great business reform, the
tariff commission.
While proposed and urged by Re-
these reforms, as some one
says. succeeded because their appeal
was made on their own merits to all
the people. Their appeal was broad
er than party. They were for the
common good. Thus thy won sup

TRACTION DEVELOPMENT.

Along with the announcement
that French banking syndicate is
TO buy. in behalf of continental in
vestors, the securities to finance the
extensions of the Chicago, Mil

Rockford TO Milwaukee and from
Momence to Gary comes traction
news of great Importance.
Completion of traffic agreements
and the passage of the necessary

the Gary public works board brings
Lake county to the front as trac-

Next week we get another inter

The air line corporation will run its
first car from Hammond to South

How important 1t is, then, that a
great artery like Calumet avenue be

Not only is the Improvement of
Calumet avenue an important mat
ter to the city of Hammond but it is
exceedingly important to the people
of the country districts. Many farm
ers would rather be located on a good
automobile road than to be located
on railroad. 1t is less expensive
to market goods by auto-truck than
1T is by rail now days.

Valentine Theatre.
AT THE VALEN-
TINE THEATER, WEEK OF
JANUARY TWENTY-NINTH.

One of the most important book
ings of the present season at the VAL
entine Theater is that of Frances Star
in "The Case of Becky" which David
Belasco sends to us for an engage
ment of one night only, Wednesday,
January 31st. Dual personality forms
the thesis of this new play by Ed
ward Locke, who also wrote "The
Climax" Miss Starr plays the role
of young girl possessed of double
self; one good and one bad. The
good personality is that of Dorothy,
herself sweet, intellectual and re-
fined. The story is said to be founded
on an authentic case made known to
the author by an Eastern physician
some time ago. Mr.. Belasco has
taken the plot, built upon this young
girls dual personality, and produced
tremendously fascinating and mar
velously effective drama In it Miss
Starr is said to give another remark
able token of her versatility and
great dramatic talent.

SOME MORE COMMANDMENTS.

Another series of commandments
have came out for the direction of
the affairs of women. This last is
from the Rev. Albert Hyde, but just
where Albert permits the light of his
countenance to shine and his wisdom
to direct the affairs of the fair sex,
it is not our privilege to know; how
ever, we append this latest list of
advice without recommendation, for
we are we'll aware that no healthy
woman ever pays any attention to
man-given wisdom or advice. The
list is as follows:
Thou shalt not marry for revenue
or even to escape being an old maid.
After the marriage thou shalt not
put on an old wrapper, or wear Slip
pers run down at the heels. Thou
shalt not be slave of fashions.
Thou shalt not be a gossip. Thou
shalt not be out of sorts when thy
neighbor, in limousine, smiles on
thee in trolley car. Thou shalt not
break the no-license low by serving
strong punch at thy parties.
"Thou shalt not forget the age OF
thy children in the public convey
ance. Thou shalt not let loose on
thy. husband on wash day, or even in
house-cleaning time.
Thou shalt not spell home as
club or matinee or moving pic
lures. Thou shalt not forget where
thy Bible is and be unable to find II
when the minister calls"
