NEED OF A SHERLOCK. It Is too bad that we haven't got Sherlock 'Holmes In our midst. The lake on Tuesday at Gary brought to light a mystery which is no nearer solution than the day when it came into being. Gary harbor gives forth body of an unknown young woman, evidently
the victim of murder, and one who was dead before thrown into the water. She was fairly well dressed, had a green suit with black braid trimmings, her hat was of gray felt, she wore a number four and one-half shoe and had good dental identification. Descriptions showing her hair, her height, her weight, and clothing details have been sent broadcast throughout the land, yet no one seems to know who she was. Here is the finest basis for operations in the world. The crime was committed' In the Chicago vicinity and, the clews are abundant. If a good detective or a clever newspaper man gave a few days of concentrated effort to this case it would be unraveled.
NOW we wonder what Tom Knotts
thinks about Tom Marshall?
WHERE, oh where, is Katherine Elkins and the Abruizi person? THESE certainly do be melancholy days for certain Gary aldermen. DID you get up to see President Taft go through? No, neither did we. 9$ ( BY the way, have' you sewed two additional starB on the flags you own?

VOICE OR PBO RLE
JEALOUSY IN SMALL CITIES. speaks the truth when it says: . . . This isnot Utopia, nor will it ever be. It is as impossible to change human nature as it Is for the leopard to change its spots. An Ohio paper
Sr ' A small city is one of the most delightful places of residence,
being the happy medium between the tedium of the hamlet and the
isolation of the metropolis. But the small city has one danger grow ing out nr the more intimate acquaintance of its citizenship. That danger lies in the' petty Jealousies of cliques, competitors and sects, "t is time that men and women of all walks of life drop the narrow view Of things and rise to a higher plane of living, thinking and acting. But when men and women of their own volition rise to this plane, they Will be able to lift themselves there by their bootstraps. These jealousies not only exist In cliques, but they are individual jealousies. Because one man, by dint of his own efforts gets out of the rut, or is more prosperous he is a marked man. He begins to find out what success is and what it costs him as far as the friendship ;of others is concerned.
PLENTY OF EDITORS.
Cuba is certainly having a dickens of a time. There is always some
one there who is ready to foment trouble and start a blistering little hades
down there. .
Incidentally, political leaders grew quite wrathy at some stories and
comment in a Havana newspaper and what did thev do but exile the editor
In other words, to use the bright and classic vocabulary of, the streets, the editor was "canned." As far as we can see, however, that shouldn't worry the Cubans. Anybody can do the editor's job to the queen's taste. Why there are two or three men in everv block in the country who know all
about being an editor. m
Eveu if the Cubans can't find anybody to satisfy them closer than these
parts we shall be only too glad to recommend them to a hundred people who know what a cinch and a snap it is to run a newspaper.
a Letter J noa surprise. Lowell, Ind., Sept. 21. Editor Times: I. the undersigned, In reply to Assistant Prosecutor Martin J. Smith's attack In the press wish to state: I am not asking that Cedar Lake saloonkeepers be prosecuted to even up any local grudge. I have not at any
time had any trouble with these saloonkeepers to warrant such proceedings. I am not doing It for money, neither do I expect to be bribed into silence. I am doing It for the good of the com
munity, especially the younger genera.
tion who are In the habit of visiting these resorts, as the majority of them
do on Sunday afternoon and evening.
The public mind knows that a young boy or girl can go astray even In the best of company. At Cedar Lake they come In contact with a class of people that no Unprotected young boy or girl
should associate with.
It Is true I signed the affidavit pub
lished by Smith. I did not apply to Sheriff Grant or Mr. Greenwald, for very obvious reasons. I wished to re
fer to some one who would take at least
some action against the men who are violating the laws. Mr. Smith charges that I mentioned gambling in my complaint. On the contrary, I made no complaint concerning gambling what-
All I have to say Is this: I am on the
right side, and I do not intend to favor our county officers for their neglect of duty under any consideration whatever. Mr. Smith Insinuates that a law
Is no law unless It is supported by the community.
Therefore, If the majority of people
of Lake county were anarchists, there would be no laws except the laws of
anarchism. A very good bluff, Mr. Smith, but the majority do not agree with you. N
I also wish to thank others for the
active part they have played In going
before the governor and trying to dis
credit my statements in regard to the
law violations at Cedar Lake. They deserve the applause of the entire
community. GUY SURPRISE.

Night Watchman Ezra Carson early yesterday discovered two men at work on the postofflce safe at Andrews. He fired his revolver and they jumped Into a Waiting vehicle and drove away They had drilled holes in the safe, filled them with explosives and were preparing to light the fuse when discovered. The robbers had stolen several blankets, from nearby barns with which to muffle th noise of the expected explosion. The men are thousrht t, h h

in a serious condition.

hours. The body was still warm an! was taken to the office of Xr. W. F.

SAYS HE HAS THE GOODS. Mr. Thomas B. Dean, who has made himself so obnoxious to the pajriots of Gary, sems to be very sure that he has "the goods." The story told in The News yesterday was convincing. He gave names and dates, and also the details of interviews. Also he spoke of documents in his possession, which proved his charges. No doubt some of those now denying the accusations are in their hearts surprised that any one should think there was anything wrong in the conduct of which Dean says they were guilty. We are glad to know that Governor Marshall proposes to assist in the prosecution, and to do all in his power to clean up the Gary situation. His duty in the matter is plain, for the scandal affects the whole state. Indianapolis News.
WILL PUT ON THE BRAKES. Whether the Gary city officials are guilty or not their arrest for bribery will have a tendency to put a stop to official corruption in this county for some time to come. If it is shown that the Gary men are guilty and they are convicted It will have a wholesome and deterrent effect throughout Indiana. But, best of all, Lake county will receive the most benefit of the purging. The effect of the Gary graft incident will be salutary in more ways than one.
TIME TO CHANGE MEDICINE. The historian of . a later date, he who writes Gary's history fifty of seventy years from now, will record some odd facts. Time will have given him Sufficient perspective to analyze the turmoil that beset the young metropolis in Its early days. Some now call the troubles growing pains. But if they are the seem to be getting mighty chronic.
IN the meantime don't forget there
are worse things than graft and two
of them are scarlet fewer and diph
theria, exisiting hereabouts.
TROUBLE Is with a lot of self-made
men is that they are continually brag
ging about the fact when they ought

"Engaged" means "pledged in marriage." That is what my dictionary pays. I have looked up the word, -because I have been asked by so many young people frdm time to time to define the privileges and claims and liabilities of the engaged state, that I wanted to have my friend Noah's help. "Engaged" means "pledged in marriage" that is, it means that two young people who are engaged, have decided that they love each other enough to leave father and mother,
and all home ties and cleave to each other all through life. Now how much liberty of Intercourse with some particular member of the opposite sex, other than the betrothed, should these two people who feel that way have? This is the question which
in one concrete form or another, Is continually being asked me. . And my Yankee answer is, "How on earth can they want any at all?" The only question, I suppose. Is whether either may provide himself or herself with an occasional substitute when he or she cannot possibly have his betrothed. Of course, there ran be no question but that neither would ever want anyone else, when he or she could have his life partner. That would be to deny the meaning of the betrothal, that each vastly prefers the other to anyone else In the world. Now, perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems to me that in this matter engaged ought to be considered the same as married. Ad, when a man is married, he presumably doesn't expect to take some other woman to the theatre or a dance, even if his wife ts away from home or he Is In another city. And, as engaged people have made up their minds
that they care enough for each other to be married, I don't really see why he should want to, when ha is engaged. And, when a woman is married, she presumably doesn't want to entertain or be entertained by ether men, even if her husband Is away. Why then, should she want to when she is engaged? I believe that If two people care enough to be engaged, they should care so much that all other men become sexless to the woman and all other women sexless to the man. If any engaged man or woman finds that this Is not so, he or she finds a danger signal. Kow all this doesA't mean that I am advocating that an engaged man
shall become monklike In his attitude
toward other women, or that women Fhall shun the society of all men and the two confine themselves solely to
each other'8 society. Married people don't do that.
It just means that I think that the same standards on this subject should
be observed by egaged as by married
people.
These are my notions on this subjecl. Tou my correspondents have asked
for them and you have them.
But please don't lay too much stress
on them, or judge anyone's conduct by
them.
I beHeve that the very best way
to avoid trouble on this subject is for each engaged couple to talk tha
matter over frankly with each other, and abide by the feelings of tha more
scrupulous since one party cannot possibly suffer as much from glvins up a little freedom as the other party
would suffer from that arrh-torment.
Jealousy. RUTH CAMERON.
