SILLY SENTIMENTALISM.

The attempt to create a sentiment
In Hammond that would pring about
the release of the three young
criminals how forcibly and brutally
assaulted an italian fruit dealer and
then robbed him, is silly.
We ares taught that to transgress
against the laws of the state is to

that these laws prescribe. We are
taught that ignorance of the law Is

can not murder, or violate the law

A large amount of the crime that
is prevalent in the land is due to the
fact that a great many criminals have

1t would be a serious mistake te
release these young men at this time
and If the courts made the mistake o.
releasing another criminal it is n
treason why these confessed ''stick up

THE PROSPECTUS GRAFT.

Another prospectus graft is about to
be perpetrated on the city of Ham
mond. This is referred to as a graft
for the reason that the principal bene-
fit that is derived from a project of
this kind is that which goes to the
promoter.
Hammond has had two prospectuses
in its history and so far as can be
learned they have not brought a sim
gle dollar into the city The adver-
Using value of them is not as great
as single issue of one of its live
newspapers which chronicles. each

its business men.
Criticism of the prospectus is prin-
cipally the manner in which it is got
ten UP. It is an advertising PROPOSE
ton from start to finish and no mat
ter how important an industry the
city has it is not given much attention
unless its management comes across
with some advertising money.
