Just as we thought 1t was ex-

come until last night.
Every time that this or any other
local newspaper in this district
prints exclusive steel news it is at
once denounced as fake by a GER
tain Gary paper, which is making a
great effort to pose as the only off,
cial source of steel news. But some
how or other those that are high in
the steel world have the damnablc
habit~of letting New York newspap-
ers have steel news instead of per-
uniting it to first seep through the
certain Gary paper"
Saturday this paper carried the
story, which by the way, was also
printed in that newspaper celebrated
far and wide as a financial authority
| the New York Sun, that foxy million
dollars worth of five per cent bonds
! had been authorized for the Indiana
Steel company of Gary. OF this
amount fifteen million dollars is now
in the market and is being offered
for sale by J. p. Morgan and conf
pany, as attested by their advertise
ments in Wall street financial pap
lers.

YOU GOT AN EYE FULL.

Everybody got an eye full of dirt
during the recent windy weather.
You probably cussed or swore as a
flying piece of manure lodged in your
eye and your nostrils were coated
with germ-laden dust.
But that is as far as you got. You
did not stop to think that there
might be a way of permanently put
ting an end to the inconvenience of a
dust laden wind.
You did not study the problem and
discover that the streets of Ham
mond can be sprinkled with oil Just
about as cheaply as they can with
water. for they don't have to b.
sprinkled with oil so often, and that
instead of the unsatisfactory results
that have been obtained with water
that oil completely solves the prob
lem of settling the dust
But the board of public works has
studied the matter. That is its bust
ness. 1t is going to begin sprinkline

In five years the people of Ham
mond will look back to the barbar-
Gus days when streets were sprinkled
with water and the air was filled
with dust. Except for the smoke
that comes from factories there is no
reason why the air in city the size
of Hammond should not be as pure
and free from dust as the breezes

When South Holman street was a

does not slough off dust, Holman
street is the cleanest street in town

the same results on other streets.

IN ILLINOIS.

carned is surprise to no one The
astute Deneen saved his bacon BY

primaries. He himself strong Taft
man saw the drift and gave the peo-
pie what they wanted-a chance to
vote for Roosevelt.
Illinois is the one spot in the
United States where the Roosevelt
managers have bent every effort to
make showing. Their fire has
been concentrated on Illinois these
many months. Chicago has been a
hot-bed of Rooseveltism. It is a city
where every passing fad and fancy
is taken up and where every gold
brick in business, fanatic in religion
and visionary in politics can get 9
hearing. Mr.. Taft's managers have
been inclined to let the state go By

Several years ago, a Hammond
man an American by birth, shot and
killed a woman. Today he is a free
man and walks the city's streets.
Later Roumanian was guilty OF
murder he is in prison for life. A
negro killed a man, he also is in the
penitentiary for the rest of his
existence and now a Chinaman will
die behind prison walls. All this in
Lake County. Looks as if a nice
little moral could be deduced, desn'
it? Unless you are American born
