A MARKET TERMINAL.

Why not build a city market and a
union fnterurban terminal at the
same time? Why not have a muni-
cipal cold storage plant in connection
and reduce the cost of living? Why
not make it easy and inexpensive for
the farmer to market his produce.
We suggest that a some logical
terminal point a block Of ground be
condemned. This block should be so
situated that it would not only be ac-
cessable to all of the interurban lines
entering the city but that one street
leading to the building be made a
free terminal entrance SO that any in
terurban line desiring to enter the
city could get to the terminal build.
ing without difficulty.
We suggest that the terminal track.
be built down the center of the build
ing, which would cover the entire
block, and that the city market STALL
be built on either side.

made for ticket offices, express offices

BELATED PRAISE.

The New York World gives belated
praise to Attorney General Wicker
sham and President Taft for putting
teeth in the Sherman law. President
Taft was defeated because of his en-
forcement of the law against great
trusts says the Muncie Press. These
combinations would never have f.
nanced the split in the republican
party except for the course of the
president in using the Sherman law
not as an instrumentality of politica,
terrorism, but as great statute
formulated for the protection of the
people. The World pictured Presi.
dent Taft as a creature of the special
interests during the campaign. The
praise 1t gives the president now is
too late to be creditable to the world
however we'll it may serve as vindi.
cation for the president.

Hammond. Ind, March 3.
Editor TIMEs:-I am truly glad that
some one has enough courage and sense
of right to come to the defense of vir-
ginia Brooks in her efforts in the in
terest of civic righteousness and pure
municipal government for West Ham
mond. The writer has watched the
deliberations and heroic efforts of this
young woman along that line and can
see no good reason why any unbiased
person can impugn her motives or
ascribe any selfish designs in carrying
on such a noble work. The untiring
labor and great sacrifice of this good
woman certainly deserves the approba-
tion and help of all who favor law and
order and social purity, and condemn
crime and corruption as it existed un-
der the old regime in West Hammond
The writer of this is owner OF realty in
West Hammond and has been the vic
tim Of misgovernment, having had his
property ruthlessly destroyed. stolen
and carried away and an appeal to the
authorities was no more effectual than
trying to wet a ducky by pouring water
on his back AS a result of such
maladministration a so foot tot on the
Illinois side would not sell for more
than one half what the same would
command on this side of the line. I ask
why this Discrimination Echo answers

leave others to do the same
West Hammond seems to have found
herself at last under the present gov
ernment and with a continuance of the
same, has a bright future with the
lproper spirit of uplfft and purity in It's
administration. But let the verdict OF
the people be unbiased and impartial

THE CRYING NEED OF HAM
MONDfS YOUTHFUL ELEMENT

Like many of our American cities
rising rapidly from small town to a
fast and lgrowing Industrial center the
city of Hammond has failed to take
cognizance OF her younger element
American youth is much the same
everywhere. Boys and girls need
recreation-good, wholesome recrea-
ton Their bodies and minds are con-
stantly growing and consequently they
need the sort of training which makes
for true American men and women
The reason the writer mentions men
first is because the young American
boys of today present the more vital
issue. Girls. as a rule. are much more
under the care of their parents till a
later age. but even they in many. many
cases should be given more attention
than is the case at present.
If the people of Hammond could only
realize the actual situation as we menu
bers of the younger element see it.
more would be done to better these
conditions. There il no place anywhere
in the city where one can indulge in
good healthy sports, under the proper
environment. and receive the sanction
OF any good honest parent. There is
no gymnasium where one can exercise
his bodily muscles. There is no Y. NJ.

tpastime under the proper environment

HUMoR IN DIVORCES.

1t is not often that humorous
things can be found In divorce suits
but here are two that will cause a
smile.
Plaintiff in asking for decree. set
forth that her husband, who was an
amateur musician, made practice OF
delaying dinner while he tore of a
few airs on his violin. and also devis-
ed sort of musical chimes arrange
ment by tying lot of empty tin cans
under her bed and rafting them by
means of string after she had re-
tired.
This instead of amusing annoyed
her exceedingly.
Why are women SO devoid of humor
|anyway?
Then again
Two families had been so friendly
that when one of them fell upon evi
days financially the other rallied te
lthe extent of loaning the distressed
neighbe'r $3.50.
Later the debtor sued her generous
neighbor for alienation of her hus
bands affections.
| Defendant in the suit did not takt
the matter much to heart. but filed {
demurrer in which she set forth
i(1) That she had husband an,
family of her own: t2l that she hat

THE GARY SALOON PROBLEM.

The saloon men of Gary 1t would
seem are between the devil and the
deep blue sea. The city council re-
duced their licenses to 5000 about a
year after it had been fixed at $500.
The saloon men paid the fees. The
supreme court later held that once
a license fee had been fixed it could
not be changed later. That was a
queer ruling. But the saloonmen ac-
cepted the ruling and paid in the ad-
ditional $500. Representative Carter
fought to legalize this action by the
passage of bill which has been kill

know what to do. 1t rather looks as

OUR WOES ARE ENDED.

This is the last day for bunglers at
the helm of the national ship of state.
Tomorrow the experts take charge
and an immediate improvement may
be expected, Those who produce will
receive higher prices for a greatly in
creased output, and happily enough
the cost of this production is to be
automatically decreased as the prices
for it increase. Those who consume
are to be made glad by regime of
things of earth within the reach of
all. To illustrate the working of his
new system, devised and designed to
promote the happiness of all mankind,
1t is only necessary to cite concrete
example or two. The eggs for which
the farmer receives fifty cents a doz-
en- will be sold to the urban dweller
for only ten cents Milk for which
the milkman receives twelve cents
will cost the consumer only four. A
suit of woolen clothes will permit
handsomely increased profits for the
farmer who produces the wool, the
manufacturer who works 1t into cloth.
the jobber who handles the cloth, the
workman who makes it up into a suit,
and for the merchant who sells it, yet
at the same time this apparel will
come to the wearer of it at a price
something like half what it would
have cost him under the infamous
Taft regime. Our markets are to be
flooded with the cheap and excellent
wares of Europe, and yet our own
laboring people are to have more work
lat better wages than they have ever
had befre. In word, there stretches
Iout before our charmed and enchanted
vision an era wherein the best ant
lplenty of it is none too good or none
too much for everybody. 1t is a sor'

Vice President the surer the quarrel.
The relations of Jackson and Calhoun
are testimony on that point.
1t might please Mr.. Wilson or any
other President to decorate the heir
only too apparent with flowers and to
fill his hands with motto lozenges; to
make him an assessor at meetings of
the Cabinet, itself a squad OF clerks,
to pretend to draw wisdom from him,
to cherish and coddle him. These at
tentions and this artificial and unreal
position would be likely to make a
sensitive Vice President abashed, un-
easy or suspicious.--New York Sum-

to this city would be incalculable.
Some of them might be enumerated as
1. The logical place for a city
market is an interurban terminal for
the reason that interurbans are be-
coming freight carriers and farmers
are sending produce to market by in
terurban rather than by wagon.
2. Both the interurban terminal
and the city market must be centrally
located.
3. The interurban lines could help
to build an institution that would not
only provide them with an adequate
terminal facilities but would promote
travel and the carrying of express
and freight.
4. The city could do its part to
build the market and ought to have
the right. under the franchise agree
ment, to a close supervision OF the
market
5. If private capital in Gary can
build a market and apparently make
it paying proposition the market
terminal ought easily to be a paying
proposition.
Were such market to be managed
in way that would gain the conf
dence of the public at large and the
farmers who would patronize it would
be possible for a farmer living in
Lowell, for instance, to ship ten doz-
en- eggs and five two pound packages
|of butter to the commission depart
ment of the market and receive a
check for his produce the next day
This would save him his time
ordinarily required to market the
goods, his car fare and an infinite
amount of bother. The cost of the
lartiele would be reduced to the con
sumner and the value of wages woult
be correspondingly increased.
What is it that makes the thing.
we eat so costly?
1. The cost of producing them.
9. The freight or the cost O
marketing them.
8. The middleman's profits.
| 4. The cost of delivery to the con
lsumer.
| The cost of production is fairl.
