A DANGEROUS SPORT. Without seeming to knock the automobile racing game, there is a great deal of truth, in the statement of John E. Fitzgerald to tht effect that a big rac9 like that which will be held at Indianapolis on Decoration Day, Is tho most dangerous of all Eporta. Football and prize-fighting are child's play In comparison. There are forty cars entered in the Decoration Day raceEach of them must be able to do seventy-fire miles an hour or better. The winner of the race will average more than ninety miles an hour. Taking Into consideration the human element and the fact that in spite of the marvelous perfection of the best automobiles, there Is likely to be a fatal Caw In one car that means death to the driver; it is almost a mathmatical certainty that at least one of those forty cars will be wrecked. And yet who is there who doesn't want to see it? When a car is going at a speed of ninety miles an hour the probabil
ities of escape from death in case of accident are about the same as a man falling from an aeroplane a mile from the earth. In fact aeroplaning is a mild sport in comparison with, racing at such, a speed. One hundred thousand people will see the races Decoration Day. The crowds themselves are now protected from death by runaway cars by a concrete wall which is built up at the danger turns. But the chances are that those 100,000 people will see at least one man killed. In fact, the skilled matador has a better chance of escape from an enraged bull than the driver of a racing automobile has of escaping death. Perhaps that is why 100,000 people expect to see the races next Tuesday. And the very persons who rage at the brutality of football and tip tilt their hoses at the plug-uglies who are expounding the "manly art of self defence," are the people who do not stop to realize that every one of these races takes its certain toll of death or Injury.

A WOMAN'S SENSIBLE WORDS.
Mrs. May Sewall, an Indianapolis woman, chairman of the International Council of Women, put a great deal of good sense into a few lines when she Bald at Cincinnati the other day: "When you see a Jew, think of Jesus, not of Juda3. When you see an Italian, don't say scornfully, 'a dago,' but think that this man is a brother of the noble Galileo, and Garibaldi and Michaelangelo. When you see a Chinaman, don't call him a 'pig tail,' but think of him as a follower of the great Confucius. It is absurdity for a few Anglo-Saxons to claim to be the quintessence of the world's elite. The new man is In the making in America. The process of developing him may be painful at times. The ultimate American, our crowning achievement, will contain the blood of all nations. Our first task is to establish nationalism In America in place of sectionalism, and then we should join in the great movement for the internationalization of the world; the establishment of a world-wide brotherhood of man, with race hatred supplanted by admiration for the virtues to be found in other races; the armaments of the world melted into plowshares, and vast military expenditures turned to useful purposes." 1

IN Illinois a court has held that a

it frequently has done business with a

ALL SHOULD OBSERVE THE LAW. Some of the cities of the Calumet region have demonstrated their determination to obey the new Proctor law, by observing its stipulations. It Is not possible to buy a drink in a single saloon after hours. In other cities, some of the saloons were closed, while others are legally not. In justice to those dealers who are making an honest effort to obey
the law, the police should see to it that the rest are made to conform to its provisions. It is certainly unjust to allow any half-way laxity in this matter. The better element of the saloonkeepers should be upheld in their determination, by the utmost rigor of the law. Primarily, because it is the law, and secondarily, because it is the better class who are trying to observe the law, and who will be put at a great disadvantage if the less
conscientious of their trade, are not forced to close their doors-
WHERE IS YOUR GIRL TONIGHT?
Judge Barnett of the. Hammond city court, severely criticized mothers
who do not know where their daughters spend their evenings. We praise his attitude.
A young girl had been robbed of a diamond ring by a prize-fighter she
naa met at a dance ana naa the young rowdy arrested. The mother of the girl said upon being queried by the judge, admitted she did not know
where her girl "spent the evenings. That is a fine admission for a mother to make.
