had laid the foundation of a great
city by the construction of 100000
sewer system before the Baldwin Lo-
connective Works located.
Now that. the big plant is about to
be built East Chicago is ready to
build houses and take care of the in
crease in population. The north side
in Hammond is still two years away
from a deep sewer system and it is
probable that if the Gogebic Iron &
Steel company located most of the
employees would live in East Chicago
where all street improvements are in.
Outside of portions of the business
district in Hammond there is one sec
ton of the city that has adequate
sewage facilities. That is the district
that is drained by he Holman street
sewer.
The owners of property on South
Calumet avenue concede that de-
lvelopment southwark has stopped
and cannot go forward again until a
avenue.
The owners of property on the
north side admit that that section OF
the city will be held back for ten
years If the plans for a deep sewer
fall through. Locations that are
logically ready for development as
business streets are not seeing that
development because the city sewer
lsystem was designed by short sighted
ENGINEERS two years ago or perhaps
fifteen.

AN UNwARRANTED CRITICISM

A case is noted from down the
state where a public speaker sharply
criticised women for being hysterical
creatures.
He displayed his ignorance as doc
tors we'll know every one has a GER
tain amount of hysteria in his sys-
tenn.
Women are more hysterical than
men because they are compelled by
convention to suppress emotions to
which men give free rein.
Temporary loss of memory is often
nothing more than form of hysteria
A well known physician says that
each case of hysteria demands in
dividual treatment. 1t is a mistake
TO believe the loss of self-control is &
matter of weak will. There may BIZ
some cause entirely unknown to the
patient which is sapping nerve force
and bringing about the mental dis
turbance.

His response of last evening is at best
evasive.
California is not doing what many
other states have done in prohibiting
or restricting ownership of land by
aliens. 1t is prohibiting ownership
by Japanese and Chinese. 1t is ignor-
ing the vested rights of these people
1T is discriminating between foreign

treaty of the United tSates. Mr.. VIII

SOMETHING WORTH WATCHING.

Recently there appeared an adver-
tisement in the Kansas City news
papers that brings long established
European and principally a German
method of filling local municipal exc
cutiye positions to this country says
the Joliet Herald. 1t is common for
German cities to advertise mayors,
engineers and all other officers where
the most efficient administration is
desired. Experts, regardless of place
|of residence, are desired, and it goes
without saying that such a method
takes all of the offices out of politics
just as the schools in this country
are supposed to be at the present
time.
The Kansas City advertisement
puts the plan to test in its school sys-
tenn. 1t reads:
WANTED-By the Board of Edu-
cation of Kansas City:
The most up-to date young pub
lie school educator in the country
to become superintendent of
l
Greenwood resigns The job now
| pays $4,000 a year.

Gator in the country to become sup
erintendent of the high schools
here. They practically have no
| supervision now.
Also, first-class men for prin-
cipals of high schools. These Jobs
now pay $4,000.
/ 1t is another step in the right di
rection and is one that can be fol
lowed carefully by those believin,
!, that the German method can be ap
!, lplied successfully to relieve American
, conditions.

CATTLE IMPORTS INCREASE.
More Than Treble in Decade From
1902 to 1912.

The number of cattle imported by the
country increased from $1,000 head in
1902 to $4,000 head in 1912. The exports
of cattle during that period fell off from
900 head to $4,000 head. These are
some of the changes in the foreign trade
Of the United States which have occurred
during the past decade as shown in the
December issue Of the Monthly Summary
of Commerce and Finance. just issued
Another striking feature of the import
side is the growth of the importations of
art works. of which the total value in
1902 was but A.5OO.OO0. and in 1912. $751;
100000. this large increase having oc-
CURED since the enactment, in 1909, of
the law permitting the importation free

or more.
Breadstuffs show a marked change in
trend, the value exported having fallen
from $196.OOOOOO in 1902 to $162, 100000 in
1912, while the importation of breadstuffs
increased. meantime from $5,5OO.OOO in

NOT LURED BY GOLD.
Postmaster General Hitchcock De
MES Recently Published Report.

Postmaster General Hitchcock is not
lured by the call of gold. He Is not going
to Arizona to grow up with the country
and perhaps come back some day as
senator And. Furthermore, he has no
connection with a gold-mining company.
nor has he been offered the presidency OF
any.
So much he stated today when asked
as to the truth of published report as
to his movements after he leaves the
Post Office Department March 4.
He did admit. however, that he had
several attractive offers under considera-
ton to enter business life, and that per-
haps, but only perhaps, he might take
some step in that direction in the future
But it would not be to go into the
mining business in Arizona, nor would
it be with the idea Of ultimately landing
in the United States Senate.
When he retires from the Post Office
Department he will devote at least two
months to rest and attention to his pri-
vate business affairs. Just what he will
do after that he has not as yet deter
mined, but those who know him best
say he is not worrying himself about
politics. and his aspirations. either now
or in the future. are not centered upon
the Senate or any other political Office.

PUTS BLAME ON WILSON.
Letter to Fitzgerald Beat Two Bat.
tleship Plan, Saws Never.

Secretary Meyer of the Navy Depart
ment attributes the defeat OF the two
hattleship program in the House to the
letter which President-elect Wilson wrote
20 Mr.. Fitzgerald. chairman OF the House
committee on appropriations, commencing
that representative for his advocacy OF
economy
Emphasizing the need of two battle
ships a year. and more than that some
years. Secretary Meyer said such policy
is absolutely necessary to protect this
country from possible foreign invasion.
With powerful fleet. he said. no nation
could land forces here, while without it
this country will remain at the mercy of
an unfriendly naval power.
The low character of the arguments
during the consideration of the nava, bill
in the House." said Secretary Meyer,
and the incorrect statements made in
opposition to the oil showed the lack OF
familiarity OF the speakers with naval
subjects All OF this demonstrated the
advisability of admitting the head of the
Navy Department to the privilege of the
-four. where he would be in a position to
answer inquiries and throw light on
many questions not clear in the minds of
mem oers."
