of Hammond are today publicly con-
graduating Mayor Smalley. Engineer

Swanton of the board. who voted it
through yesterday morning. While the
rift in the democratic party is widen

ment of party lines and a reviving of
public spirit is going on. THE TIMES
acknowledges nice things said about it.
Antis Are Good Losers.
A most remarkable fact in view of
the long and bitter contention of
antis is the sportsmanli<e manner in
which the SIT enemies of the deep sew
er are taking their defeat. They are
displaying admirable character by ad-
hitting the arguments of the city at
torney to be legal and logical, though
they opine that they are somewhat tar
dy. Attorney Gavit found that three
fourths of the property owners must
sign a remonstrance to stop an i'm
provement. They wish he had said so
sooner and saved them money and
time.

Another victim was claimed by
vicious bull dog yesterday morning
when the son of J. Ruski, 332 Michi-
gan avenue, was bitten in the back
by an ownerless canine, the dogs
teeth badly decorating the skin. In
order to take necessary precautions
a physician was summoned and the
wound cauterized. The dog had not
been killed last night and is reported
to be locked up In nearby barn.
Residents in the neighborhood are
afraid that the dog will attack some
of their children and effort will be-
made to dispose Of 1t today. The dog
squad went out yesterday and this
morning and so far has succeeded in
killing eight unmuzzled dogs.

Civic Spirit Revixed.

The Smiths were in their automobile,
driving north on Calumet avenue, and
as they approached the crossing the
gates were down and a freight train
was going east The gates went up
as the train was clearing the crossing
and DR.. Smith drove on the crossing
only to be caught by the gates which
were damned down on his machine
Fortunately he had his machine under
control for in the next moment the
west-bound passenger train, due in
Hammond at SIG p. m. crushed onto the
crossing. There apparently was no ex-
cuse for the gates going up after the
freight had cleared and the passenger
was so close at hand
The Masons with their baby in a cab
had also started across the tracks and
could step back just in time to avoid
the passenger train.
Early this week Mrs. p A Parry was
trapped on Fayette street by the gate
man. the gates coming down on her
auto just as a freight train hove in
sight. She backed out of danger with
quick presence of mind

They Admit Defeat.

We're beat and that's all there is to
say is the way the ants put it. They
do not charge that the city is corrupt,
that there is a melon to cut or that they
will defeat the administration. Many
of course, are of political beliefs differ
ing from the mayor and others retain
just enough i'll feeling to vote against
him, but that is their privilege.
The ring leaders of the ants are not
shouting calamity and corruption as
might be expected. There Is little
chance of an Injunction proceedings
Some have gone boldly forth and shook
hands with the mayor. the engineer aad
the members OF the board. In that way
they show that their battle against the
sewer was not based on cardinal prin-
ciples
Civic Spirit Revived.
The aftermath of the deep sewer de-
cision was a surprising overflow OF
optimism. Men who saw little in the
future for Hammond are now climbing
back into the band wagon and tooting
trumpets with the old guard.

becomes state and national problem,
a question requiring a consistent and
comprehensive program for state and
national action To undertake to
solve problems of this kind by limit.
| ing our efforts to local issues, and
separating our cities from state and
national issues, is absurd.
'9t@ may be quite true that neither
the Republican nor the Democratic
national parties have anything in their
platforms or programs looking to the
relief Of the people that live in cities.
But to attempt to find relief from the
evils that toment them without state
and national action is the height of
folly. If the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties have no program and no
principles that apply to the great
problem of municipal government, so
much the worse for them. Let the
people know it, the sooner the better
s'Such is not the case with the So
cialist party. 1t has program, MUM
nicipal, state and national. And they
are part Of one consistent whole The
same principles for which the Social
ist party stands in the state and nation
apply with equal force though with
different details to the city as well.
And what is more: there is no solution
of municipal problems apart from the
principles of social democracy. And
| the principles of social democracy. And
not be applied except through state
and national action. The effort, there
fore, to eliminate national and state
issues and to prevent the organization
of state and national political party
that shall have also a municipal pro-
gram is to block up the way to final
solution of the problem of municipal
government.
Furthermore, let the Socialist party
of America grow to sufficient strength
and numbers; let it capture enough of
| the cities of this country. let it secure
enough representatives in few of the
state legislatures and, the national
congress to make its municipal, state
and national program a real menace
to the capitaliStic parties of today and
we shall very quickly see the political
parties of capitalishts rush into a
party that will be the most bitterly par
/ tisan that this country has ever known
since the anti-slavery times.
There is an issue in municipal
government that is bound up INSOFAR
ably with the state and national pro
gram. 1t is impossible to solve the
municipal problem apart from these
larger state and national problems. Sc
the lines of this struggle may as well
be drawn sharply and as closely as
possible. We believe it to be the task
of the Socialist Party to bring this
issue into the open and to make the
people of this country realize that the
struggle between plutocracy and the
common people is not only municipal
struggle but a state and national one
as well. And the effort to conceal this
struggle by detaching the city and its
issues and problems from the STATE
and national situation serves only tt
deceive the people and to prolong th'
period of their enslaVement."

gerous power in his place-the press,
owned and controlled as it is to an
overwhelming extent by heyplutocratic
interests.
This, the power of the press, must
not be overlooked. The minority party
never had a strong press at the be-
ginning. The press is generally on the
side of the mapority. By constant and
imposing advertising, by judicious and
adroit editorial writing, and news
comment now and then, the people
may be made to believe that certain
candidate stands for things for which
he>really does not. This is one Of the
most common and most dangerous
tricks Of a alphabetically controlled
press.
The people need the assistance Of
every possible device with which to
meet these difficulties and above
everything else, they need designated
ballot to help them connect the in
dividual candidate with the principles
he is supposed to represent, and which
also serves to connect the individual
with the group of people that have put
him forward as. their candidate, SO
that they, too, may be held to account
for him and his course after election.
These arguments seem to us un-
answerable objections to the non lparti-
san election idea. We submit them
with the hope that those who favor
the idea will answer US and argue US
down-if they can
On the other hand we submit these
arguments hoping that those who
agree with US will suggest better argu-
ments than these if they can.
