COUNTY OPTION STILL AN ISSUE. Following the disastrous defeat of the republican party in Indiana, bud
sequent to the Hanly regime, it was generally conceeded that county local option ceased to be an issue. It didn't cease to be an issue, however. The wish was father of the thought and republican politicians found themselves
solemnly declaring that county local option and the whole prohibition move
ment had been eliminated from politics, when, in fact, it was then and is now
a very live issue.
This fact is only beginning to be appreciated in the northern part of the state. The reason is that almost invariably the rural districts strongly
favor the elimination of the saloons, while the cities are against it. North
ern Indiana has most of its population in the cities which line the lake shoe. So while the question of local option has been forgotten in northern Indiana, it is still the burning issue in many of the agricultural counties in
the central and southern parts of the state. Politicians, who have been over the state recently, say that there is already a well denned movement
to force a county local option plank into the republican platform at the next state convention. Furthermore, the indications are that this movement
may be successful.
The delegates from the larger cities will be against it. The fact will be
pointed out that such a course could only spell defeat at the coming elec
tions, but the county optionists are insistent and their demands may have
to be considered. Local option elections are still being held in many town ships in Indiana. The feeling that has been aroused has been marked
About as many townships have gone "dry" as have gone "wet"
A considerable number of the senators and representatives in this pres
ent democratic legislature are uncompromising anti-saloon workers. The
opposition to the saloon is not confined to one party. It is a movement in
dependent of party politics. The democrats are as much afraid of the issue - as the republicans. The repeal of the county option law has gained them
the opposition of the anti-saloon element. The passage of the Proctor re
strictive measure, which has caused the salionkeepers eo much trouble and
has put hundreds of foreign saloonkeepers out of business, has aroused the antagonism of the saloonkeepers over the state. The present indications are that both the republicans and the democrats will try to avoid holding their conventions first. Each party wants to see the other on record before it begins the framing of a platform. And before the platforms are framed there will be many a hard fought battle over the local option issue.

THE SHYSTER. No truer words were ever uttered than those of Attorney Wayman of Chicago at the commencement exercises of the Chicago College of Law when he issued a scathing attack upon the undesirable lawyer known as the "shyster," of which Lake county has many. Attorney Wayman said: "It is the duty of the bench and bar -to drive out of the legal profession the rat-hole shyster. He is one of the worst enemies of social order. "The unprincipled lawyer upon whom the murderous sluggers rely for 'immunity baths' of mud, fraternizes with these gangs of criminals, and they make his office their rendezvous and headquarters. If the shyster were a sailor he would flaunt the black flag of the pirate. As a preacher he would be an apostate, as a soldier a spy and traitor, as a doctor a quack. "It is, your duty and mine it is the duty of all of us to do everything in our power to make the 'shyster' the social and professional phariah that he should be made. He is a disgrace to enlightened mankind. He should be driven out of the legal profession and denied the social recognition of all decent people.'.'

A CREDITABLE PRODUCTION. The Emerson High School-Annual, edited, printed and made up by the
pupils of the school, and which was placed on sale in th stores of Gary yesterday, is a work of art and shows the completeness of one of the
branches of manual training in the Gary schools. With the exception of the half-tone cuts and material, the entire book was made at the school. The
work of the students in the high school year book is really remarkable and
is conclusive evidence of the high standard of training at the Gary schools under the direction of Superintendent W. A. Wirt and Principal Edward Sargent. Much credit is due to the latter for the success of The Annual, as his ideas are embodied in the book throughout.

Can you find a larger percentage of

Moreover, life in the road camps ac

About the campflres ta the evening there is a phonograph. One camp has
a portable organ.
Each prisoner takes an oath when
he goes out with the road gang that
he will not throw down" the warden or the system. Just as Jndge Llndsey's
boys promise they will go alone to the reform school and not "disgrace tha
Judge."
Besides, tha state grants each man who faithfully does outside work ten days a month additional "good time."
That's all.
Incidentally Colorado has a flne sys
tem of state roads, especially in the
mountain districts, at very low cost.
If Tom Tyman had bis way the men would be paid real wages, the money
to go to their families or be kept for

Tyman says, "Most of those who
break our laws are not vicious, only weak." And "the idea that a prison is a place to punish rather than reform

When he was about forty feet up from
the ground the lightness of - the air
caused his aeroplane to fall, and it
alighted in the midst of a number of
automobiles, but luckily none of tha
occupants of the machines was hurt. Beachy was slightly bruised, and his
aeroplane was damaged, and it took an
hour or so to repair It.
The . large crowd became Impatient,
and Beachy decided to make another trial In his damaged machine. This
time his flight reached an altitude of about two thousand five hundred feet.
He sailed across the city and went half
way across the Ohio river, and return
ed and made a pretty descent. Witmer broke his machine in his first attempt to make a flight. MOTHERS PRAYER ANSWERED.

Emerson. I was much interested to read the other day a newspaper statement that the suggestion had been made that a course in manners should be introduced Into the Washington schools. I wish the suggestion plight become an accomplished fact, not only in Wash, lngton, -but all over the country. I cannot understand why, when all the other sciences have received such full attention in our school curriculum, the social science the science of living with other human beings should be totally neglected. For what really bitter unhapplness the ignorance of the right fork to use, of the proper way to treat a finger bowl, or some such little thing, may cause. What cruel social stigma the wrong way of holding his fork or of a habit of carumblng his cracker in his soup may bring upon a man whose heart Is really full of true courtesy. We may rail at such conditions of Judgment, but we surely must admit they exist. We would never think of leaving the study of grammar out of our schools and yet the man or woman who makes a mistake In grammar will be far
more easily forgiven than he who eats
soup from the end of his spoon. Emerson says something to the ef
fect that it is much easier to forgive even a sin than an error in breeding, and so it seems to be. Of course the obvious answer to this Is that while a knowledge ol manners is undoubtedly necessary to one's peace of mind, such a knowledge should be obtained In the home. Of course, it should; but how often is UT Again and again there came to me in my mall queries on little points of breeding from young men and women, who evidently have not been .taught such things in the home. And almost always the letters are well worded and well written, showing that the inquire have bad an otherwise good education. Z dp not think any city could give its children a course which they would look back upon with mora gratitude all their lives than one in manners. It might, of course, be difficult to get the children's interest, but I think this might be done by conducting the lessons in a very practical fashion. That is, the lesson on table manners might be Illustrated by a table set tor a course dinner, and the other Issos In a similar fashion. The Instruction need not be so elaborate that few of the children would
! ever have a chance to put half of It I In practice, but merely a comparative
ly few simple rules of breeding. Those who already knew some of these things surely wouldn't be hurt, and those who didn't would undoubtedly be saved much embarrassment aad actual unhajplness. Perhaps this Is all very foolish and visionary, but for the life of men I can't see why. RUTH CAMERON.
