FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29 1915.

Burglars broke open a safe in the Evansville Custom house last week and stole $15,000 00 worth of War tax stamps No arrests. It is hoped the Supreme Court the income tax as the mass of the people, have patriotically decided to permit the payment of it by tfieir weal;hy neighbors, Mayor Bosse, of Evansville, made himself conspicuous as well as-ridiculous at the Streicter Lewis wrestling match at Evansville last week. The fiiremen of No. 7 hose house at Evansville are an industrious bunch and put in their time weaving fancy shawls for their sweethearts and wives. If the average man had to pass judgment upon a woman genius, the frst thing he would want to know would be for her acquirments with the frying pan and bread tray

The time for pat iotic citizens o take interest in law making is when the legislators are chosen. The men of business are remiss. They are not doing their duty as citizens ol this country whan permit the professional politician to have it all his own way. Wake up, Mr. Man of Affairs. President Wilson says "America First' ' should be the the test

of citizenship. Why not make it

a little stronger and have it ' America first last and all the time," and any gink who applieior citizenship papers and cannot support this sentimeut, send him back to where he came from. The old copy-book used to state in faultless Spencerian script that 'Honesty is the Best Policy. It may have made good copy, but stated a faulty philosophy. It is the best policy, but that is a miserable and cowardly reason for being honest. Honesty is no more a matter of policy than of expediency or of wages. Would it not have been better to write "Honesty is Right ?" Indiana Nature Notes A huge bald eagle, believed to ha at least forty years old, its

This Ought to Defeat Cox. We have only this to say-that it would be better for the party if the opposition to Mr. Cox

would be stamped out of existence Until Mr Cox is attacked on his record, the opposition is not a serious one. The people care but little who gets the salary, what they want and what they are entitled to in the way of legislation ought to be the big thing. The old secret organization to defeat Mr, Cox at any price should be wiped out. W ho do you supose wrote the above? That is an effusion of "Looie" Zoercher, who is now post master under Cox, was his private secretary, in fact, has been drawing a salary from the government ever since Cox has been in Congress.

Upon his arrival in Washington, the admiral gave further evidence of his gratitude by writing a letter to Director

Reluctantly the admiral returned the cherished brick. A phort time after, he received the identical brick, accompanied by a slip of paper, on which was written: ''Silence is golden "

Strenuous Fatalism.

Old Abe Cruger lived in Neu England in the days of Indian, varfare. He was a fatalist of a pro nounced trpe. Nevertheless hm would not venture forth without hitf blunderbuss. One day he had art important errand, but the blunderbuss, -when he came to get it, wa missing from the rack made of antlers where it alwa hung. Soma one of his family had taken it Ab gat down to wait till it was brought back. "But, Abe, T thought you wert H fatalist ?" cu;d a friend. "So I am," the old man m iwered. "Then why bother about yoof blunderbuss?" taunted the friend, ou are in no danger from the In dians, since you can't possibly di till your time comes " "Yes," said the old man, "buü suppose I was to meet an Indian! and his time had come.

The Newspaper Law.

There is no longer any reason why any person should be j;an unwilling subscriber to a newspaper. Ön the refusal of a subscriber to take a newspaper from the post office, the postmaster is required, under the postal laws, to return the same to ihe publisher. You are no doubt aware that a person who continues to accept a paper sent him through the mail is liable for the subscription price, regardless of the fact

that he never subscribed for vit or that he has ordered it stopped.

Prohibition, Then What?

By James C. Kelly

f

Prohibition is offered as a final and satisfactory solution of the liquor problem. Granted that this be true, it would naturally follow that the state or community which adopts prohibition would rid itself forever of the troublesome "wet" and "dry" agitation and summarily abolish the consumption of alcholic beverages. Unfortunately for prohibition and the political units which have adopted it, however, it has failed to fulfill its glowing promises. Always, after prohibition is adopted, there 'is etill the task of making it perform according to schedule. This in itself has invariably been found to create more disturbance than the original prohibition agitation and with equal regularity it has failed to diminish the consumption of strong drink. Maine and Kansas have had prohibition for many years. In the former state there is no contradiction of the assertion that liquor is 6old openly. Politically, Maine is in a constant turmoil because of the "wet" and "dry" agitation which, however, assumes the form of a "law enforcement" and a "no-law enforcement" question. Think of it! A state in which the sale of liquor ha6 been illegal for half a century, still divided, not on the question of repealing prohibition, but on whether or not to ignore it. That's how prohibition settles the liquor question. Kansas, long a "dry" state, faces a different problem. Kansas, where prohibition is always politically expedient, faces the difficult task of setting a brilliant prohibition example for the nation, in spite of the official figures showing its liquor bill averages well with the license etates. Recently it was shown by the records that a certain Kansas city has a record fordrunkenness which would make the ordinary license town look like a chautauqua. An officer of this "dry community soon explained the enigma, however. In Kansas, he said, a man is arrested when his breath smells of intoxicants, but in license territory there must be visible as well as olfactory

evidence. So it seems that in Kansas a policeman, in additio

to other qualifications, must be a good breath smeller. Absurd

as this may seem, it is the extreme to which prohibition of the use of liquors would lead us. The experience of these two states proves conclusively that prohibition is no solution of the liquor problem. It is a sort of public "swearing off" followed by secret and hypocritical breaking of the pledge. Adv.
