POLITICS
CHARGED

Over on the Illinois side of the i'm
aginary line that divides Hammond
and West Hammond charges are made
that the board of public works has
granted special privileges to a special
interest for political purposes. 1t is
given little credence in Ham
mond, but it may make the
situation at the state line confer
ence tomorrow little strained. 1t IL
lustrates the attitude of West Ham
mond officials who in a meeting OF
the council recently resolved that
Hammond be no longer allowed to
take an inch of Illinois territory" The
conference will be held tomorrow after
noon at the Hammond city hall.
Surveyor Makes Statement.
Ray Seeley, county surveyor. states
that he cannot see the virtue of a
conference between the cities OF Ham
mond and West Hammond on the mat
ter of the state line and its misplace
ment unless the officials meet in an am
liable mood and consider the best in
terests OF all concerned.
"One VIII have a plat showing the
Illinois section lines and another a plat
with the Indiana section lines. The
two overlap, everyone knows that.
Hammond had full knowledge of what
she was doing when the board decided
to build a street according to the
lines agreed upon by the engineers of
both cities and myself. / cannot see
why West Hammond is willing to pave
half of their street for them.
Property Owners Howied-
But do not blame West Ham
mond for not wanting a crooked street.
The kinks ought to be taken out.
Neither do I blame the property own
ers in unbenefitted territory across the
line for objection to the spread of the
assessment. 1t is not customary to ask
a property owner on another street to
pay for a pavement.

enjoin the Hammond Improvement of

him. The young fellows face looked
worried and his manner had lost some

"Of course you did. You wanted to

replied Blake. "Such pretty romances

"Oh!" exclaimed Tom, almost shud.

mail to win your fight"
"Blackmail?" echoed Blake slowly.
Then he paused. The rugged mask
Of a face had not changed. But the
pupils of the half-shut eyes had sud
denly contracted as though a binding
light had been flashed before them.
Yet, a second later, when Blake spoke
again, there was no trace Of pain or
resentment in his dry drawling voice.
"Blackmail" he said once more.
"How about the way Standish dragged
up that franchise affair of mine last
year? What was that but blackmail?'
WELL" demanded Tom, in the stark
mercilessness Of youth, "you were
stealing the franchise. weren't you.

Why | Attend Church.

Claude Weaver in Leslie's Weekly.
It is sweet on a summers morning,
when the air is aquiver with the love
songs of the birds and fragrant with
the oder of roses blown, to hear the
music Of the ch~urchgoing bells, an in
vitaticn to the world-wearied to enter
Gods temple and find peace, because
the instinct Of worship is in the heart
of man and the church is the temple Of
tie living Gcd.
| go to church because | find peace
there, that peace which De Quincy de-
scfibed as a resting from human labor,
q Sabbath Of repose, a respite granted
from the secret burdens # the heat,
as If ] stood at a al. ta1te mi aloof
from the uproar CT life; as if the tu-
multi ard fever and stli.e were sus-
pended; as if there brooded over me
a dovelike and halcyon calm.
| go to church because | love the
music that hear there, the mighty
roll of the great organ, mingled with
the marvellous symphonies # that d.
vine stringed instrument, the human
voice, untwisting all the chains that
tie the hidden soul of harmony.
go to church because ! delight to
hear the teachings of the preacher,
whose soul is dedicated to God, whose
field is as wide as Gods universe,
whose theme is the destiny Ct man and
whose words are the oracles of Fate.
Marvellous is the spell Of the preacher
to when God has given genius and con-
secration and the power of illustration
drawn from the OLD, sacred, immortal
Book, and from the miracles of nature
no less revealed IN the crimson tipped
flower turned up by the ploughshare of
Robert Burns upon the soil of Ayr than
in the long reaches of the star-girt
skies.
go to church because '.'the way is
dark and | am fer from home," and
because the church is the polar star to
light my pathway in the rayless night.
| go to church because the church min
listers rot only to the spiritual but also
to the material needs Of life, and be-
cause it is there that the charities that
soothe and heal and bless are scattered
at the feet of man like flowers.
I go to church because in that at
mosphere vice and crime wither and
die.
| 20 to church because | hear the
teachings Of the philosophy of Jesus,
the Incompatible man; and if you say
his teaching is philosophy and not re-
liglon and that he was a mar and not a
god, then the philosophy Of that man
has redeemed the world from savagery
and blessed mankind with Christian
civilization, and. to my mind, 1t is a
thing worth while to hear.
l go to church because | fnd there
consolation and hope; because | see
there the dawn and not the sunset; and
it is better for man, if the hope is
baseless and the vison but an elusive
phantom, to cherish a dream so glorious
and beautiful than to be weighed down
and crushed with the quarried noun
tains of a world without hope and
without God.
