To prevent any one stocking up on a losing proposition the Fort Wayne council has just passed an ordinance preventing the sale of fireworks at retail In that city and regulating the handling of them by wholesale houses. The use of fireworks was always a dangerous and foolish waste of money, resulting often in the loss of life or serious injury to children. The death of Dr. F. E. Bolzer of New Castle, a leading democratic worker in the state and for several years connected with the financial committee of that party, is regretted by thousands of friends over the state. During the last winter he visited almost every county in the state and first became ill while in this city. He was a most likable man and made good at each opportunity. Fort Wayne is all worked up over 1 prospects for a new postoffice building 1 which reminds us that some years ago ‘ the government purchased the Nib 1 lick ground on Liberty Way presum- 1 ably to build a postoffice, but for some reason or other it has been lost in the recent shuffle of wars, tariff 1 and ship subsidy.

ties for use In maintainence of road*. What's the use? About the time you get It working the state highway commission will come along and gobble it and spend it in employing more ’ men than they need on each job. If , some one will suggest some way to reduce overhead they will make more of a hit than always figuring how it can be boosted. Newspaper writers declare that the trouble in congress and the senate is a lack of leadership or too many leaders who believe differently. The next session, however, will be»go close politically that the party in power will need a real leader with power and force or he will get his party in a worse hole than they were in the recent campaign. The people want some things done and if they don’t get them, look out. They also want some things like the proposed ship subsidy and the tariff undone and it will take a real G. O. P. leader to work out the problems. The president evidently realizes it and is calling conferences now. It is quite likely Lodge will be the first leader to lose out. He won't do. At the recent state meeting of the county commissioners of Indiana, held at Indianapolis, a Mr. Tutelwiler, of Indianapolis, who was defeated for re-election last week, was made president and a resolution adopted favoring the presenting of a bill demanding higher salaries for the commissioners from the next legislature. They probably won’t get it for the democrats elected know they were chosen to reduce rather than increase. The men elected to the office knew the salary and they have no right at this time to demand higher wages when the people are trying to reconstruct. Indications are that it’s a mighty good thing the people were wise enough not to return the old crowd. Without prejudice to the accepted prim iple of American protection, the tariff now in force is one of the most selfish, short-sighted and extravagant laws of the kind ever enacted. It is selfish because it confers not protection but monopoly. It is short-sight-ed because it utterly fails to take into account that we are a creditor nation now while we were a debtor nation when the last tariff was enacted. It is extravagant because it plays ducks and drakes with taxation, and no one can foretell whether we shall. really collect the estimated average I of 25 per cent more than we did un- 1 der the Payne-Aldrich tariff, while' we are already beginning to feel the ' depressing effects upon our exports! of the defiant refusal to encourage a trade development so desperately' needed in Europe.—Wall Street Journal. Europe is again at the brink of war and every indication points to another bloody siege that will probably finish' financially about every nation there.! France and England are preparing, | Russia expects to join Turkey, Germany is reaming and even in our own country we hear much talk about preparing. We will probably spend millions more. It was to prevent just this that the league of nations was proposed and had it been carried out by American leadership there is no doubt it would have been a great thing for all the world. Business would have been established and wars prevented. It looks now as thought the only way to prevent years of continueded warfare is organization of aji the nations of the world to prevent it. Call it what you will, but let’s do the thing which will prevent war. Surely the past eight years have furnished enough lessons to teach us that. Paul Auth was a business visitor in Ft.

Notre Dame Vs. Butler Game Holding Interest i Indianapolis, Nov. 16. No football , game this season in Indiana has at- , traded more attention than the Notre Dame-Butler affair to be fought out ' at Indianapolis next Saturday. Early in the year when it was announced that Butler would meet . Notre Dame on the gridiron the football fans declared that Bull Dogs were gylng out of their class in scheduling a game with Notre Dame. Butler's wonderful record. Including victories over Illinois University and Wabash college has caused many to change their mind and the foot ball followers are sure that there will be a great battel when these two]

Coach Ashmore has t developed a strong team at De Pauw i but Hanover has the best eleven in 1 that schools history, having tied » Franklin and defeated Earlham. Thin - tn?ans that Hanover will give DePauw t a good battle. i Wabash college will play the Chi-1 cago Y. M. C. A. college at Crawfords- • ville, Saturday.

f The season at both schools has not been what would be called a success, but the team that wins between Indiana and Purdue will believe its football seasons a real success even if all the other games were lost. Franklin is scheduled to play St. Xavier at Cincinnati, Saturday. Rose Poly has tin open date. Valparaiso will play St. Viators at Valparaiso, Saturday. The Illinois team should give the northern Indiana eleven a , hard game. Earlham will clash with ! Transylvania at Richmond Saturday. o — TOO DRY FOR THE FLORISTS I Boston, Nov. 16. —Prohibition has been blamed for many things and the latget to crop up is said to be a ser-

ious effect on the sale of Howers to men. According to Miss Marlon Buah, head of a fashionable .florist's shop here, the sale of flowers in "the old days" could be estimated on the number of cocktails sold. One cocktail usually Inspired the sale of half a dozen pinks, according to Miss Bush, and two drinks averaged a ' bouquet of violets, while three cocktails was almost sure to be followed by purchase of orchids. ”in these days,” Miss Bush suid, i “the men folk gaze at the bowers, but ( seldom do more than remark upon < their beauty. | “Cocktails of grape juice aud ginger i ale, do not bring the same degree of t admiration for flowers.” •
