WE POINT WITH PRIDE.

The financial writer's of the Chi
cago papers this morning chronicle
the fact that the Gary & Interurban
Railway company has just negotiated
loan of s4.O00,O0O in London.
This money is to be used for i'm
portant extensions including the con
struction of terminal facilities into
Chicago It is to make the Gary 4
Interurban The largest traction sys-
TEN in northwestern Indiana.
We point with pride to the fact
that this entire system Is he consum-
maion of the inspired efforts of local
promoters who had no experience in
interurban construction and opera
ton until they took hold Of this pro-
ject
We point with pride to the fact
that the fat these men have had in
the future of the region has pointed
the way to rich rewards We take
considerable satisfaction in the
knowledge that there is enough en-
terprise. energy and resource in the
men back of this project to enable
them to develop this system of rail
roads that is a credit to the region.
It was only seven years ago that
Frank Gavit appeared before the
Gary town board and with consum-
mate nerve asked it to grant him a
franchise over the principal streets
of the new steel city
But like great many successful
men he was able to live up to his
bluff. He made good. He built a
traction line that was a credit to the
:ity. That system is now on it's feet.

A RECKONING MUST COME.

Just now Hammond is suffering
from a lack Of public-spiritedness in
the part of some of its public officials.
On the other hand. Gary is being load
ed down with improvements and in
their eagerness to seek out new
swamps to pave and new appropriated
streets to sewer some of the contrac-
tors must resort to powerful tele-
scopes
It is printed that "a year ago
Gary had ffty-two miles of paved
streets. Today il has ninety-two
miles. etc" Sewers have jumped
from % miles to 50 miles and cement
sidewalks in proportion. it is stated
Some property holders think that
this is a little too fast. AS one city
hall contractor stated, all that he
needed to do was to hire a real estate
man TO go out and drum up a few
signatures for a petition and then a
sl75,000 paving job was plastered on
an almost vacant street. whether the
property holders like it or not.
Tolleston, for instance, in getting
too many improvements. It's First
street, which has but few houses. was
recently paved at a cost of $4,000,
while a dozen other highways have
been paved at varying prices; and
some one is heading a movement ia
pave every street south of Eleventh
avenue. A sewer costing In the neigh
borhood of 100000 was recently in
stalled in Tolleston.
This exploiting of the streets by
the contractors Is going to bring a
reaction in values in a mighty short

TO WIPE OUT PRISON STAIN.

Everybody who admires manhood
will hope that William j. Burke
makes good.
Burke was once burglar. He
served a term in Massachusetts
prison. After his release he went to
Philadelphia, where his record was
not known, entered politics as an an
ti-gang candidate and was elected to
the city council.
One of his prison mates traced him,
and failing TO blackmail him threat
ened exposure Then Burke wrote
out a confession in which he told all
about his past life, resigned from the
council and disappeared.
For more than a month he hid him
self in New York Then he decided
to go back TO Philadelphia and face
the music. He was met there by his
wife and stepdaughter, both of whom
stood by him. A business man, who
thought there was good stuff in Burke
offered to start him in business and
the offer was accepted.
Burke says he entered politics be-
cause he wanted to drive out the
crooks. but he is done now. He says
no man can be in politics and stay
honest If he has no other means of
support.
Burke now has an opportunity to
nrove ANEW that ba fS honest ana
square. If he furnishes that proof
he should win in the fight he is MAX
ing to rehabilitate himself and win
the respect of his fellow men.
