NEVER AGAIN. . We have eternally disgraced ourselves up In this section. Never can we say a word about Crown Point's nsughtlnese again. When the first paper rolled off THE TIMES presses last night, this was the toll, up in this region: one man killed in Gary; one man dead from morphine in West Hammond; two killed on the Monon railway; one man tried to kill- a woman and to shoot himself at Indi

ana Harbor; one man In Hammond tried to brain another; one man in East Chicago wounds another; five year old girl in Gary lured from home; horse stolen in Hammond and the good Lord only knows what else. Are we meek and lowly In spirit today? . We are chastened.

SUBSCRIBER wants to know "who is going to finance the third party campaign in Lake County?" Well there's no sign on the bull moose cage not to feed the animals is there? Still you might write Charley Davidson and ask him if Jhere are any postofflce funds left.

IT can be written as a certainty that within the next year there will be a democratic postmaster in LaForte. The die has been cast. LaForte Argus. Yes and we'll bet a cookie that Darling has his application in already.

VERY UNBIASSED YES. The Star, as its readers know, has always endeavored to Rive all the news in politics as well as in other fields without bias, and will continue to do so. Its news columns, during the coming campaign, will contain fair records of the proceedings of all parties Indianapolis Star. The above is about tha poorest joke that has been inflicted on a longsuffering public since the Star began to vaccilate and flop around like a chicken with its head pulled off. The Star's account of the republican state convention waB notoriously biassed. It did not even tell the truth about it. Its story of the Chicago convention was Just about as true to detail. The Star is bo warped politically that every time It waves the bloody shirt it hits the ground.

itself In Gary. Since February of last year there have been ten murders in Gary's black belt. But ono was sentenced to be hanged and he was saved by a merciful governor and was for a while fed on chicken broth and buttered toast in the prison infimary. He cut a woman's throat from ear to ear. Another bad negro was killed In Gary Monday night, the third one to be slain since last month. This is a pretty grim record. As long as a weak policy is pursued in dealing with the blacks, as long as they are regarded as political assets, so long will robbery and murder among them continue in Gary and as long as it does Gary figures infamously in the crime dispatches.

THE more clinging some of these skirts are, the more some of the feminine sei persist in parading on the streets where loafers are wont to congregate. Loafers and tight skirts go together.

WOMEN are to plant a tree on the spot where Burr killed Hamilton. All right ladies, when you get around to it you might stick one on the spot where it took a Hammond cop five shots to kill an unmuzzled dog.

"PASS prosperity around," says Mr. Beveridge. Is that what you call It Al?

THE NEGRO PROBLEM. The negro, or rather the bad negro, problem continues to assert

. A COWARDLY TRICK. Sometime ago In Its enmity for James E. Watson the Indianapolis Star published a story that Mr. Watson was getting favors from the U. S. government In Arizona in return for what it called political services. Walter L. Fisher the secretary of the Interior immediately investigated the story and found It unqualifiedly false In every particular. Mr. Watson was completely exonerated. Yesterday the Laporte ArgusBulletln published an editorial denouncing Watson which is manifestly as unfair and cowardly a thing as we ever saw penned. Though Mr. Watson has been shown to be entirely innocent and the victim of a prejudiced and notoriously biassed newspaper s like the Star the Argus Bulletin repeats the'story. It will of course be picked up now by other newspapers of the Marshall persuasion and probably the Star will help it along again a little late- by digging up the charges. It is remarkable how low some newspapers can stoop during a political campaign.

IT IS A FAILURE. The dictagraph la better than a third degree. Simply tell a suspected criminal that a dictagraph was concealed under the table leg when he was talking of the nefarious plot and he'll come across with the whole story. Few stop to think that the dictagraph was, perhaps, not working or that If .working Its results proved to be so unsatisfactory as to be almost negligible. The main thing is that in nine cases out of ten the criminal confesses and after that it doesn't make the slightest difference whether the culprit was really overheard hatching his plot or not. Fort .Wayne News. This sounds nice but as an honest citizen we have to say that the dictagraph failed miserably when its ingenuity was matched against Gary wits.
