MAKE HASTE SLOWLY. Young man! Ever note a slow moving freight train puffing on an uphill grade? If you are some distance away the train may appear to be making no-progress. But it is inching along. After awhile you look. The train has disappeared over the hill. Be like that freight train. Be a stayer. "Make haste slowly" is an excellent old adage that is workable. It may seem you are getting on in the world all too slowly. But, if you are really getting on, hold tight! In the end you will win.

Editor, The Times, Hammond, Ind.,
Dear Sir The indications being that
at the next session of the legislature
of Indiana a model license law govern ing the manufacture and sale of alco
holic beverges in the state of Indiana will be considered, a brief discussion of the model license law now being advocated by the National Model License
league will be of special Interest, we think, to your readers.
It should be stated at the outset
that the objects and purposes of the
model license law are to take the liquor question out of politics and to take the lawbreaker out of the liquor busi
ness,
The liquor question should not be a nnlltlcal factor. The mere fact that a
man favors or opposes the use of alco
holic beverages should not be deemed
a qualification for discharging the du
ties Incumbent upon holders of public
office.
Law-breaking, in connection with the
sale of alcoholic beverages, is injurious
to the trade as a whole and to society B-onprallv. For this reason, the Na
tional Model License league, repre
senting the manufacturers of and
dealers in alcoholic beverages, feels
justified in calling on all good citizens
for co-operation in the effort to pass
a law eliminating the law-breakers.
Prohibition has notoriously failed to
take the liquor question out of politics
or to take the law-breaker out of the
liauor business. On the other hand.
prohibition agitation has made the li
quor question an important ractor in politics and has put a premium on vio
lation of the law.
Model licence law differs from or
dinary license law in that model li
cense- law nuts a premium on good
behavior and provides absolutely cer
tain penalties . for violation of the
law. Under model license law tne
liquor dealer is permitted to conduct his business so long as he abides by
the law.
Model license law provides that all
iin9 In pffet at tne lime or in
passage of the model license law shall
remain in effect until suspended or canceled because of violation of the law. Under the operation of model license law If there are too many saloons In a given city the number will be cut down automatically, because too much competition would force some of the saloons out of business because of lack of profit or because of violation of law. Model license law stipulates that no new licenses shall be issued until the population Is in the proportion of (say) five hundred inhabitants to each saloon license. This restriction would make
the license very valuable by preventing undue competition. The greater the value of the license the less disposition there would be on the part of the license holder to risk the forfeiture of his license through any violation of the law. The National Model License league Anon not advocate excessive high li
cense- The llcf rise should be sufficient to vield a good revenue to the city
who makes the false pretense of be
ing of legal age.
In order to give the dealer political
independence, the model license law provides that the court must suspend the license for thirty days upon the
first conviction of the license holder for any violation of the law and that the court must cancel the license upon the second conviction of the license holder. This provision is compulsory and the court can grant no favors.
The law further provides that where person has forfeited his license he
cannot again obtain a license ln the state.
Under the model license law every
dealer would be independent of poli
tics; he would have a valuable license, and It would be more , profitable to obey the law than to disobey it. With all of the retailers obeying tha laws
there would be no excuse for agitation and the liquor question would
have no part in political campaigns.
Model license law has been accepted
by many of the leading thinkers of the United States as the true solution of the liquor problem and it haa the
support of the conesrvatlve and Independent press of the country.
Thanking you in advance for giving
us this opportunity to suggest these thoughts and facts to your readers, we are.
Sincerely yours.

The accident happened two miles east of LaPorte. At the hospital Repolge's left leg was amputated and part of his right foot taken off. He has a slight chance to recover.
The municipality of Rio de Janeiro has constructed and is preparing to rent sixty-two groups of model houses of two types for worklngmen. Some of the houses are for family use, others for the use of single men. The division of information of tha department of commerce and labor announces that since its organization up to Nov. 14, it has located 2,220 immigrants ln desirable places of employment in thirty-five different states. England is face to face with the most serious condition of unemploy
ment in Its history, and, unless relief is provided on an unprecedented scale during the coming winter bread riots may be expected in many of the largest and most populous cities.

The high court of Manitoba has decided that the "fair wage" scale as enforced by the cities in Canada is Illegal. It was held that when a contract
Is awarded the contractor may make his own terms with his employes, regardless of wage scales. The decision was given in the suit of the city of Winnipeg against a contractor who refused to pay the scales the city had agreed upon with the union.

For the protection of the dealer model license law Includes a clause providing a penalty for any minor over 18 years of age, who shall claim to be' of age 4n order to purchase alcoholic beverages. Without this clause unscrupulous "reformers" would resort to the use of boys between the ages of 18 and 21 In order to make out a case of
