lSpeclal TO The TIMES.1
Crown Point Ind Nov. S-Since the
first of this year. when sheriff Henry
Whitaker took his office he has taken
sfxty-five persons from Lake County to
the insane asylum at Longclifie,
Logansport
This average of about six a month
begins to present Itself as problem
peculiar to this region. as most OF the
unfortunates are sent there from Ham
mond. Gary. East Chicago and whiting.
In most cases the persons sent to the
asylum are men and women of recent
foreign immigration. They are the un-
desira bles that are permitted to enter
the various American ports under the
lax immigration laws. and it is this
class that tends to draw down the gem
eral average of the class of foreigners
become good citizens. They become a
burden to the community and the tax
payers and add nothing to the strength
and welfare of the country at large or
this region in particular
Sixty-fve insanity cases in ten
months means that oftener than once a
week experts are called into various
justice courts to pass on the sanity of
some man or woman. No infrequently
the history of the case shows that in
sanity run in the family. and If a
thorough examination of the immi-
grant ha dbeen made. he or she would
not have been permitted to land, or re-
main here very long

THE LAUGH
ON. JOHN
THIS TRIP

Now that the campaign is over, the
voters in Hammond get a little
laugh out of John Gavit on case that
was filed in the superior court today.
1t is still fresh in the memory of those
who heard the campaign addresses on
both sides that Peter Crumpacker was
being crucified by the democrats for
being the attorney for some corpora
tions. Corporation Lawyer" was the
Indian sign they hung onto him and
not without effect.
Meekness and the charity that cover
eth multitude of sins We're not the
predominating traits of the republi
can campaigners. They went out and
told the voters that in the democratic
ranks could be found men who were
corporation lawyers, and that one of
them John A. Gavit represented both
the city and the New York Central
lines.
Either by design or accident 1t so
happens that Peter Crumpacker the
corporation lawyer" files his first case
after the campaign for private party
against corporation, the Michigan
Central railroad which is part of the
New York Central system and asks for
five thousand dollars damages.
AS for the case itself it is brought
on behalf of Herman Getze who claims
that his trotting mare Sweet Saiome'
whose record is 2:15A. was injured in
a collision at Kensington, ILL.,. last Sep
tember. She was being shipped from
Watseka ILL.,, to Kalamazoo and the
car in which was standing in siding
when it was bumped by heavy
freight 1t is charged that the valu-
able animal broke several ribs in the
collision.

traffic of one of the finest agricultural
districts in the state and intersects the
principal east and west highways in
the northern part of the county. 1t is
recognized as one of the principal

ture development is bound to reach
tremendous proportions.
One of the prime movers in the pro-
posed celebration is IL. p Downey of
the Hammond contracting firm Downey

pianed on a scale large enough to at
! tract wide attention to the Importance

alarm and distrust that will prevail
until the question of revision is set

tion is serious, and that our first at
tempt at revision must he imperfect,

that our first attempt at financial re-

head TO be proved by the experience of
trying to manage the integral parts
without it,
This letter was written by a man
who is a very careful student of bust
ness on a large scale, and tells It's own
story. From other sources come re-
ports that there is an expansion or
business and that the outlook is most
encouraging. There is yet sufficient
energy to keep business out OF
the rut of stagnation and interior
banks have volume of money
to keep it active if conditions be
normal, but it is only fair for people
to realize that il is a good time
now TO follow conservative lines in the
matter of expenses and to not over
extend until the tariff situation has
been cleared away. Foreign countries
are still under a money strain, which
has been apparent since last October,
when the Balkan war had its begin
ming. This last week the prospect Of
peace has been deferred by renewed
hostilities. and while the end seems TO
be postponed only until later date, so
long as war shall continue Europe must
remain on the grldiron Of uncertainty
and the demand on European finances
will continue 10 grow more severe.
Locally, the disturbing elements which
have been directly influencing the stock
market have not been cleared but have
been partially changed The reforms
outlined by Governor Sulze- for the
New York Stock Exchange have been
sent 10 the Senate at Albany, and the
board of governors Of the New York
Stock Exchange has responded to the
demands of the times and inaugurated
restraining measures calculated TO re-
move the evils Of manipulation and
illegitimate transactions. In the future
these changes may be very beneficial,
but at the present time they are not
crystallzed. and exert depressing in
1uence. There remains the shadow
Of the Pujo investigating com
mittee. which must be recognized as
having an effect on financial interests
and investments. and this, with other
reform movements of the kind, must be
finished before the public will feel free
to come into the stock market. The re-
form business has certainly worked
overtime, and less controversy and
some definite conclusions will be wei
coined
