WHAT ABOUT THE TRUANCY OFFICERS? The fact that eighteen confessed boy-criminals have been arrested in East Chicago and Indiana Harbor within the past six weeks, is an eloquent argument against the present inadequate system of dealing with juvenile delinquents in Lake County. The problem that confronts East Chicago is not peculiar to that city alone. It is likewise Hammond's and Gary's and Whiting's problem. These towns are all possessed of large floating populations. Floating populations breed criminal opportunity which in turn breeds a tendency to crime, and criminal tendencies among adults are easily transmitted to the youth of a
community. When Lake County was composed largely of eminently respectable citizens such as abound in Crown Point and other staid old towns, it might be all very well to appoint one officer to take charge of the delinquents of the entire county. But with an ever increasing population, with a large intermixture of the lower foreign element, the situation is changed. There is scarcely a day that does not bring with it several cases which require the attention of the truant officer. Some of the cases are not serious, and some of them are, but all demand personal attention and should be promptly and in many cases sternly dealt with. It is impossible for the truant officer to make the rounds, and the inability to get hold of him when needed, naturally has a tendency to make the police lax in calling the attention of the officer to as many cases as exist. The police themselves are without authority to detain criminals under sixteen years of age, regardless of the nature of their crime, or to even have them put under bond to appear for trial. They are obliged to depend solely upon the truant officer in such cases, turning loose the boy culprits while awaiting the truant officer's arrival which may or may not occur within several days after the arrest and confession of the youthful criminal. In the mean time, if the latter does not make his get-away, he is primed to tell in court, a different story from that which he originally related to the police. Nothing breeds criminals so surely as making a joke of the laws of the land. The knowledge that the police are powerless to enforce a law, makes both the law and the police objects for contempt and ridicule In the eyes

.Copyright, 1303. by American Press Association. ANSWER THE TELEPHONE! A writer tells about a rural telephone line out In Walloma, In Interior Oregon, which reaches back some sixty miles Into the scanty settlements of the countryside.
The line meanders through the can-
) yons, over the rootnuis, into tne ror-
ests, along the Isolated sheep ranches, farm and sawmills and on to the county seat. It Is a cheap line, of course, and It Is almost Impossible to carry on a conversation over the whole line. And so
Each family is a sort of relay station. That Is to say, the families living on the outmost edges of the settlement call tip a family near to the
town, and the message Is repeated to
another family, and so on until the
town is reached.
It Is a fixed custom that the message or order to merchant, stock buyer or physician be repeated through the two or three relays bo that every word
may be understood.
One signal, that for the physician, is
three rings.
It Is the signal that every patron of
the line is alert to answer. Whether it be morning, noon or midnight, when the call for the doctor comes every
family on the line goes to the tele phone to learn who is in need.
The message for the doctor is speeded quickly on Its way. Then the nearest
neighbors go immediately to the relief
of the sick or injured.
And when "central" gets the call for
the physician one is called, and he starts Immediately on his long, hard
ride. It is the call of humanity. Well-
Let us say what Is true that you
and I are connected upon life's long telephone line. In some places It is a
"weak line." We must help out by
repeating the messages.
The call to rescue comes over the
line. It will die out if we do not take
down the receiver and fling the urgent
message down the wires.
Let us listen especially for the three
rings.
Some one Is wounded, helpless, sick
in body or mind or heart. Send the
call on to central for the Great PhysJ

Let us keep In touch with the throb

Fort Wayne's attorney, Gus Colerick. acting for the city, filed suit in the circuit court Saturday afternoon against the Fort Wayne & Wabash Valley Traction company to recover $12,500 alleged to be due the city for a license to maintain poles on the streets of the city. ROBBED FOR FIFTH TIME. For the fifth time in the past few vears the clothing store of Carter &

Odum. who caused a sensation by leaving Peru in an apparent effort to t vude a grand jury investigation last week, has not been called before that body since last Thursday, it is given out that the investigation by the jury is by no means ended. In addition to the grand jury probe the citizens are demanding and have arranged, for a general audit of all city books, and a determined effort will be made to take any kinks out of city affairs which may be revealed. RESENT IMPLIED DISHONESTY. The coal dealers of Peru refuse to submit bids for the city schools' supply of coal, because of an insinuation of Joseph II. Faust, secretary of the city board of school trustees, that heretofore those who have sold the city coal have been grafting. ASKS AN INVESTIGATION. The letter written by Governor Marshall to Elliott R. Hooton, prosecutor of Marion county, in which the governor asked Mr. Hooton to make an investigation of the reported prize fighting in Indianapolis, has not yet reached the prosecutor. The letter was mailed from the governor's office Saturday.
MAN KILLED IDENTIFIED. Relatives from Muncie have identified the body in a Peru morgue as that of Edward Arnold, a married machinist, aged 38. The body yas horribly man - . gled and was found alongside the Chicago, Cincinnati & Louisville railroad i track five miles south of Peru. How ,

RECOVERY IS SLOW. That the steel and iron buying in the last week has not been as favorable as some experts had enticipated, and indeed had predicted, is not sur-! prising, however. The recovery in the markets of the United States and consequently the markets of the world will be slow as long as the Washington lawmakers are in session. The steel industry so vital to the general prosperity of Gary, East Chicago, Indiana Harbor, Hammond, Hegewisch and South Chicago, gives no promise of the rehabilitation desired by business men in this region, as far as immediate recovery is promised.

The base ball season in Lake County is now on in earnest. From all parts of the county there came on Monday, news of games that had taken place on Sunday and the amateurs seem to be busier than ever this year. The TIMES will be glad to keep in touch with these budding aspirants for some-day league honors and all news of games, challenges will be received and published.

ANOTHER SIDE TO IT. There is another side to this hosiery tariff story just as there are two sides to every story and a lot of people who are accustomed to look at but one side of a story. The Indianapolis Star says: Club women and "consumers' leagues" are not to have it all their own way in regard to the tariff on hosiery. Hosiery operators in Pennsylvania are watching proceed ngs and are preparing to invade Washington a militant army of 10,000 or 15,000 women. A low tariff will probably result in closing the mills and leaving them without employment. There is always another side to a story, even when it is about the stocking and the tariff. Would you like to see all these people who earn their daily bread in hosiery factories thrown out of employment because the tariff was taken off hosiery?

A Long-Lived Joke. Bucksport's famous April fool joke made its fortieth annual appearance this year. In 1869 Landlord James F. Moses of the famous old tavern moved the box-like storm entrance to the door leading from the wide piazza to the office to one side so that, instead
of leading into the oftice, it made a box against the dead wail. Very few people would notice the change In position and would opert" the storm door as usual and land against the side of the house with nothing to do but back out as gracefully as possible amid the remarks of the inhabitants gathered at convenient points to watch the results of Landlord Moses's "April fool trap." At the death of Mr. Moses, about fifteen years ago, his successor, P. IT. Wardwell, kept up the timehonored custom. Landlord H. Rufus Googins set the trap bright and early Thursday morning with the inevitable results. Iewiston (Me.) Journal.
