THE SOCIALIST VOTE.
The socialist vote in Indiana this vear for the head of the ticket is estimated at 36,210. Four years ago
the vote was 13,4 7.1. The gain is
about 2 70 per cent. Four years ago the chief socialist strongholds were Marion, Elkhart. Greene, Allen. Clay, St. Joseph, Vanderburg, Vigo and Vermilion counties. While most of these counties show gains this year .the heaviest gains in proportion have been made in counties with a larger rural population. Only a few of these counties fail to show a large increase. Marlon county's vote, 5,2(58, was
the largest polled in any county, but the proportion to the total vote cast was largest In Sullivan, where it was one-sixth. Next to Marion county the largest, vote polled was in Vandorbuig. with 2,572. Counties showing over 1,000 were Allen. 1,512; Delaware, 1,199; Grant, 1.325: Greene. 1,203; Howard, 1.107; Lake, 1,130; Madison, 1.917: Marion, 5.26S; St. Joseph. 1,2'; Sullivan, 1,045; Vanderburg. 2.572; Vigo, 1.800; Wayne. 1,032. Four years ago the vote in Vanderburg county was 1,000.
last. What bitterness of personal
feeling it has developed: What harshness of criticism and unkindness of comment! lias any one profited by magnifying personal grievances into questions of national concern? Haven't we belittled and shamed ourselves before all the nations of the world? Now that it is all over, what can be said in extenuation of such a campaign of thoughtless utterances? The spoken word remains. It can be recalled and forgiven, but it cannot be
forgotten. It Is IiKe an evil deed it stands forever. Reputations have been ruined, promising prospects blasted, hopes destroyed and fortunes
lost by a word carelessly spoken, j Even a shrug of the shoulders may imperil a reputation. It is not strange that, with all the words so carelessly spoken oy public men. by writers of reputation in our magazines and by editors of our most popular newspaper::, the people have been brought to a state of extraordinary unrt'st, unhappiness and grave disquiet! Is It. surprising that religion languishes, that the church Is challenged and Divine authoriry questioned as never before? What else could be expected? "This is the vaudeville age of the world's history," said the Dr. Mark A. Matthews, of Seattle, moderator of the Presbyterian church. He added: "We have forgotten the serious and better things for the straws and bub
bles of life." Where Bhall we put the
blame? What shall we do to bring a thoughtless people back to their senses? These constitute the serious questions of the day. We are mistaking mutiny for Independence, muck-raking for progress
and yellow journalism for a fearless press. Demagogues are masquerading in the garments of statesmen and the clamor of their noisy follow'ers has drowned the voice of reason. The red flag of anarchy heads the procession and dynamite is substituted for justice. The constitution is challenged, law defied and judges are threatened with recall and removal if they dare face the crazy mob. If this nation is to live, the good citizens of the land must awaken speedily and courageously to the performance of the patriotic duty that lies before them. The gospel of true liberty must be taught at the altar
of every fami'y circle and preached In every offic? and workshop. Respect for the constitution of the fathers, obedience to the law of the land, even-handed justice for all, right living and right thinking must be zealously taught.
And we should also teach, with un
sparing severity, that never, in haste
in anger or malevolence, should false
witness against a neighbor be permit ted to go unchallenged and unrebul

AFFECTS GARY. There is no douht but the stories of the ontinued civic unstableness that come out of Gary affect the city in more ways than one. The unsavory contract lettings are hurting Gary. More than one director of the steel corporation has expressed the opinion
! that if Garv does not behave itscif as i
far as civic affairs go that it may suddenly find a rival for the big corporation's favors. No less a person than Judge Klbert II. Gary, the executive head of the steel corporation, last June stated to a TIMES representative that future additions in Gary depended upon the attitude of the people of the stee! city. Of course, this included not only their attitude toward the corporation but the future conduct of the city itself. We fear that Gary may yet take a step too far and it will find that Aladdin and his wonderful lamp is distributing its favors elsewhere.

Cettiiure, Montenegro, Nov. 12. The war with Turkey has brought to this little country many problems, not the least of which is the question of how to food thousands of Turkish prisoners of war. Montenegro, a barren littl" kingdom a few thousand square miles in extent, has always been poor. Th.; wm r with Turkey has rapidly depleted her meamcr resources. Her own soldiers have to be armed and fed. That is hard
she hits thousands of to cire for. supposed the Turkish
en on st h; but now prisoners of war As miht be
prisoners g t very little to eat and practically no medical attendance. They must be content with a diet of coarse bread and water. Tiiey say they are Usui to stai-vinu. that while they were in the Turkish army they fared little better. Graftinc b;ts been reduced to a fine art by Turkish ffliiials and funds supplied thorn for war supplies have goni? into their own pockets. If the stories
told by the.e Turk prisoners are true the ureed of the pultun's army officers is in lartr" measure responsible for the weakness of Turkish arms. The accompanying picture was taken at Podnoritza where 3.0v Turkish prisoners were brought at one time by the victorious Montenegrins. Writing of the arrival of these prisoners of war. an Kncclish woman correspondent of a Ixndon paper said : "Then followed the procession of prisoners a n amazing spectacle. Hank after rank out of tbe ginom tramped
what seemed to be etidless files cf Turkish rsulars. They were carryli.e; bundbs and coats. On they cm In fairly regular order, four or five abreast. For nearly h quarter of an hour I watched them pass. I thousrht of what I had read of Koman triumphs. The Ion,- line of prisoners entered the town and passed through the streets lined with people, but the Montenegrins made no demonstration of their triumph. So many f slri mouth to feed will make a heavy drain on the resources of the town."

SNORING NO CRIME.
that he can secure convictions. Probably his hardest case was the conviction of the first of the defendants in the steel company pay roll cases. To avoid the bribery of jurors Judge Pecker called one of the largest panels in the history of a criminal trial in Lake County. And after Ross was assured of an honett Jury he showed that he could get results. After that the practice of criminal law in Lake County ceased to become attractive. Most of the lawyers in the county have dropped it. They prefer to let their clients plead
guilty. That is what Ralph Ross has done for Lake County and the people of this community will be glad the office Is to be maintained to its present high grade of efficiency, due entirely to the efforts of Attorney Ross.

Recent decision of a municipal judge in Chicago is respectfully referred to the Society for the Suppres

Defendant had crawled into a hallway and slumbered, and as the poet says: Wo a riness Can snore upon the flint when rusty sloth Finds the down pillow hard. But the tenants upstairs wotted not of poesy and, nothing only the snore, called a policeman, who did the rest. "Your only offence was snoring," remarked the Judge, "and I can't fine you for that."

REWARD FOR EFFICIENCY. Prosecutor-elect J. A. Patterson
has appointed Ralph W. Ros3 of
Hammond to take charge of the trial work in the Lake Superior courts.
This is a merited recognition of the service that this capable lawyer has
performed for the county. During the term just passed Ross secured pleas of guilty in 19 cases which were placed in his hands and not one case went to trial. It is estimated, conservatively, that he saved the county $5,000 in the cost of trials alone.
The police chiefs of all of th" cities of the region are unanimously of the opinion that Ross is the first deputy prosecutor who ever handled the office with such high efficiency. They all favored his retention by the new prosecutor. And the first official act of Prosecuting J. A. Tatterson by which he commissions Ross as his deputy will meet with general and enthusiastic approval of those who are conscientiously fighting crime in this county. Ross is able to secure pleas of
1 guilty because he has demonstrated t waterway
A CURSE TO HIS RACE. When Jack Johnson won heavyweight championship of world, find especially when h:
tained it in his fight with Jeffries, there were those who said that he had done his race a great service. They argued that he had put fresh pride and confidence into millions of men who needed such tt spur to ambition. The theory was that Johnson's
prcr.vess would encourage colored j Americans to strive more vigorously for equal rights and equal attainments in better fields of occupation and achievement. Now Jock Johnson has done more to discourage and dishearten the best arid wisest men of his race than he could offset by winning ten championships. They are ashamed and disgusted and In such a frame of mind that thousands of them would welcome an opportunity to giv him
a coat of tar and feathers and ride him on a rail over lh nearest international boundary. Johnson has done more than any other me man of his color to put arguments i:i the months of enemies cf his race who would t'eny the negro any form of equal rights, if it were in their power to do so. All of which goes to show that brains and ( haractr, not brute force, must bo douended upon to advance the interests and widen the
future of a race lately freed from! slavery. It is to the Hooker V.'ashir.gtons, not to the Jack Johnsons.
