HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

What effect the exodus of the demi-mondaine and the scarlet-lettered

irom uary win nave is problematical, one Hundred members or tnis unfortunate sisterhood, bag and baggage, left Gary yesterday under police

bann. How long the interdict will be effective is equally doubtful. These

moral crusaaes ana rerorm waves move in cycles, we nave orten seen that when officialdom is In the limelight; when power and prestige i3 threatened, when the shadow of the law looms up on the horizon, there is

simulation of righteousness.

Some people who would commit any sin in the daylight kneel in wail

ing prayer when the sun is-in eclipse. We recall that "naturam expellas furca tamen usque recurret."

The Evening Chit-Chat By RUTH CAMERON

IT IS VERY UNJUST. That the U. S. government should try to deport an aged alien who wished to spend his remaining days with his relatives in Hammond, is not without its unjust and pitiful side. It, has been shown to the immigration of officers that the aged man will never become a public charge because his people are amply able to take care of him. A contemporary says: There is small excuse for bringing unfortunate aliens to our port3 only to turn them back for causees of which they learn too tardily. There is much good sense in the recommendations made by Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor in his annual report. He proposed that regulations should be formulated whereby it would not become necessary to separate immi- -grant lamilles, sending back some of them to the "old country," while allowing other members to enter the United States.

HAVE you your 1911 pass yet? I D. Certainly not. It was reduction of berth rates, not reduction in birth rates. . CHEER up, good people of Lake county, eggs are worth 5 cents apiece

WISH Governor Marshall a happy

New Year, but it might be more seemly to postpone it until after the leg

islature adjourns.

THE slate examiners have an Idea

that some improvement can be had in

the way some of our county officers

keep their books.

"I think there is as much merit In beautiful manners as In hard work." Emerson. Two men who ar likely to become candidates for the same political office before very long were under discussion at our office the other day. Both men are forceful, original, brilliant personalities. The chief difference between them is that one, being brought up In very humble circumstances, lacks any semblance of breeding or polish, while the other, who Is the scion of an old and distinguished family, has the bearing and breeding of a worthy descendant of a long line of distinguished ancestors. "Well, I don't know a great deal about either of them, but I'm going to vote for A," said one man, naming the son of the humble family. "Why?" I asked. "Oh, because this B has too good

manners," he answered. "He's too pol

ished. I want a real man."

The old, old belief, that a "real man"

can't have manners, that breeding and polish are incompatible with strength.

Every time I meet that belief I stop

to quarrel with it.

The strong man, without education

or polish. Is greater than the weak

man with both, but the strong man crowned with breeding and polish Is a

greater force than either.

If a bar of Iron were to be polished

would It lose strength by the process?

Is the steel that has been tempered

and worked over and polished less strong than the crude iron?

In many cases, undoubtedly, a life of

overmuch ease and wealth rots a man and leaves a shell of good manners

with a rotten center.

But that is no reason to hate the

good manners.

They are the good things left by the

decay; not the cause of sign of the decay.

, ' - BEWARE AND DO NOT HURRY. With the cold weather come more and more reports of fatalities, serious injuries and narrow escapes from death and Injury. The season Is responsible for many of these, largely by reason of slippery sidewalks and crossings, and because people are in more of a hurry to get to their destination, than when the weather is moderate. They will take a chance in front of a flying train, on a slippery crossing in winter, when in summer they would proceed with more caution. S 1 lL a . a , -a

vmiy iae . oiaer aay one man nearly lost nia me nurrying to beat a

train, the wheels of the locomotive grazing his feet as he fell. This man

was fortunate, However. How many more are killed and maimed by simi

lar attempts.

msieaa oi tauing longer cnances in com weather, people should pro

ceed with unusual caution in crossing railroad tracks in front of trains. ....

A bit or ice on a seemingly clear crossing, may be the means of causing

a hurrying pedestrian to fall to an awful death.

To avoid painful, though probably less serious accidents, householders should see to It that their sidewalks are kept clean of snow and ice. It is

not only the inconvenience caused to pedestriaas because of unclean sidewalks, but many a bone is fractured and hurt is sustained, which might be

avoided by a little care and labor on part of all. .

NOW that a manicuring department

has been added to some public schools

has anyone any other suggestions out

side of a corn doctor?

How would it be to have Miss Vir

ginia Brooks as a referee.

WANTS MORE POWER. Governor Marshall and some of the men who will make up the forth

coming legislature want to Introduce a bill giving the governor more pow

ers. It seems that their intention is not to invest the state head with any

autocratic authority, but merely to put in his hand a check that will serve to keep derelict officers in the right path. Such laws that they have in

Ohio seem to appeal to these behind the movement, and if the Ohio statutes

are taken as a model there can be little objection. TVi. lA.n V . - I

iu sccuia tu ue iu give lue governor power to remove a mayor

wno violates me law or permits law violations. A sheriff or a vacillating

piusetuiur wuuiu ue auojeci to tne same penalty. The effectiveness of

such a statute was well illustrated last summer when Governor Harmon a ru: J A -ma-

vjuiv, iemuveu irom oince iuayor Ainerton, tne Newark executive who permitted the operation of blind pigs, and Sheriff Llnke and the entire

'police force, whose failure to enforce the law played part in the lynch

ing there.

a- w)iumuua aispaicn 10 me maianapoils News, which has sent Wil

Ham Blodgett to study the. Ohio Idea, ends thusly: "There does not seem to be any intention on the part of the " members of the Indiana legislature to put on the statute books a copy of the Ohio law regarding the removals from office the law of that state will be taken as a guide only as a basis for a bill in this state. But many members of the Indiana legislature are agreed that such a law would be a good thing in several instances. "There are mayors in Indiana who not only wink at the notorious Ylolatlons of the law In their bailiwicks, but they even protect the law violators. It is well known that there are prosecuting attorneys in Indiana who will not prosecute certain kinds of misdemeanors and there are judges who let the law violators go with a benediction instead of a stiff jail sentence. It is not the intention of Governor Marshall, his friends Bay, to ask for a law that will him autocratic powers or make his a czar all he is asking for is a law that will give him the means to get rid of an unworthy officer, appointed or elected, who Is nailed to his job by the power, of a political machine, regardless of his honesty or qualifications."

They tell us sometimes that wo women, if we had the suffrage, wotcld vote for a man for no better reason than that he had good manners. I cannot see that that would be anymore absurd than to vote against him for the same reason. It lyms to me It is an. American fault to discredit the value of good manners. We are such worshippers of strength and force nnd originality and brains that we forget that there are other things equally desirable. But there are. In one of Oliver Wendell Holmes Breakfast Table Series is a paragraph that goes to the heart of the matter so much better than my feeble penc can that I am going to let you have it bodily: "I think It is unpopular In this country to talk much about gentlemen and gentlewomen. People are touchy about social distinctions, which no doubt are often invidious and quite arbitrary and accidental, but which it is

as impossible to avoid recognising as facts of natural history. Society stratifies Itself everywhere, and the stratum which is generally recoernlsnd as th

uppermost would be apt to have the advantage in easy grace of manner and in unassuming confidence, and consequently be more agreeable in the superficial relations of life. To compare these advantages with the virtues and utilities would be foolish. "Mi-h of the noblest work of life is done by ill-dressed, awkward, ungainly persons; but that is no more reason for undervaluing good manners and what we call high breeding than the fact that the best part of the sturdy labor of the world is done by men with exceptional hands Is to be urged against the use of Brown Windsor as a preliminary appearance in cultivated society."
