LET 'EM ALL COME, Another esteemed correspondent thinksthat .the bull mooters should put a municipal ticket in the field In every city in Lake county. We hope they do. The more the merrier. At least that is not one of the things we should worry and get a red nose over. ' A WORTHY BILL. The bill to make illegal the star vatlon wage for the working girl and woman, by establishing a minimum wage for such as are thrown upon their own resources for support,' and incidently to establish a minimum wage for children, should be of vast interest not only to labor circles THE TIMES is deeply interested in this matter which it has fought for for years. The matter of the starvation wage for women, is farther-reaching than the confines of the labor world. It is a foe to society at large. It is an undermining element to the founda tion of civilization end good morals, While society has no forgiveness for the girl, who in order to keep pace with its demands in the way of decent housing, decent clothing and proper nourishment, is forced into indecent living by reason ofthe starvation wage, candor compels the ad mission that she is greatly more sin ned against than sinning. Un fortunately a tremendous proportion of the working girls today are recipients of the starvation wage. For many of such there is scarcely any alter native open aside from that from which every pure girl or woman snrinks with abhorrence, but to ihich she i3 eventually driven. The employer is doubly responsible in such cases. First in the primary cause, lack of sufficient remuneration. Second because he demands that she make an appearance in his office or place of business, which will do him credit. A girl who is run down at the heel and . presents a . shabby appearance is not a credit to a professional or businessman's menape. Her position, with its small pittance which her employer is willing to pay her, to a certain degree depends upon her neatness of apparel. It costs money to dress well, or even neatly. It costs money to live in decent surroundings. What then is a girl with a starvation salary to do? AVell, this bill before the legisla ture now is trying to help solve the problem for her, and it is to be hoped that it will be so framed as to be of real help, and that it becomes a law.

Yesterday THE TIMES carried these two significant paragraphs: While men high in the walks of religion -were gathering in the uptown district of Gary for a national religious conference on Saturday night wild doings were going on in the "red light" district of the city. South Jefferson street, the home of Gary's vice district, had one of the moat prosperous nights in its existence. Hundreds of young men, many of them mere boys, nocked to the tenderloin. At some places men stood in line waiting to get into the joints. me aoings indicated in the pre ceding occurred on Saturday night. Yesterday THE TIMES also carried these paragraphs, being from an account of a meeting at the Y. M. C. A. of Gary: Dean Sumner passeid out cards bearing the following inscription: WILL. YOU NOT MAKE THIS RESOLUTION' f Sometime I may marry. I am determined to bring: tl my wife as Spare a life as I expect of her. Cathedral SS. Peter and Paul Chicago. The dean proved to be a forceful speaker. He chose for his topic "Social Service." It also touched upon; the social evil. Dean Sumner's lecture was given on Sunday. It was quite timely. THE Democrats, during the fall campaign, were confident of their ability to reduce the cost of HviDg. Yet since the election, the price of Jackson day banquets has advanced from $1 a plate to $5. BEFORE it is too late, the eminent Democrats who aspire to portfolios under the next administration should pause to consider that the Wilson cabinet may be a bicycle cabinet. LIKE DOSE NEEDED HERE. Another "didn't know it was load ed" Incident took place in a Ham mond saloon the other day, in which one foreigner pointed a gun at a man for "whom he professed friendship, with results that may prove fatal. The "Joker" escaped, and while the police are looking for him his friends are busy excusing him on the ground that "he didn't know it was loaded." Judging from the leniency with wghich other offenders with a like ghastly sense of humor have been let off, this joker need not have tak en the trouble to "escape." A few days ago a Chicago municipal court judge fined a man who fire a revolver at another without inflicting any in jury, $100 and sentenced him to six months In jail. A little such medi cine applied locally, might effect at least a partial cure of the didn't know it was loaded pest. FOR claiming he can produce a cross between the bull moose and the elephant, it is to be feared that Mr. Munsey will .have to be enrolled among the nature fakers. GOVERNOR Hodges, of Kansas, began his career in a lumber yard. Probably that is where he learned to saw wood and say nothing. BILLY RUGH AGAIN. A whining complaint is being put up in certain quarters becaust the Carnegie hero fund commission has declined to award money to the relatives of Billy Rugh, the forty-year-old Gary newsboy who died as a result of giving large quantities of his skin to graft on the body of a terribly burned girl. Such complaint - Is as thoroughly out of place as was the impudent request of the rapacious relatives. During his life Billy Rugh lived alone. Although a cripple, he

fought hisown.way from early boyhood. Both 5 his parents were dead, he never married and he had no dependents. He was alone in the world and the relative he had paid him no attention whatsoever. They had nothing in common and their existence was not even known until the dramatic circumstances incident to his death brought them from afar in clamorous lamentation. They wanted notoriety then as they want money now. in turning them down without a nickel, the Carnegie commission did precisely the correct thing. Fort Wayne News.

Ralston, Governor of Indiana, will ride down Pennsylvania avenue on March 4 on a spirited horse, surrounded by members of his "staff" (which is a negligible quantity) in full regalia and also mounted. Following the Governor and his "staff." if this conception is carried out, will be a substantial representation of the Indiana National Guard. The plump Mr. Ralston shaking like a jello pudding astraddle a'highstepper will run the Taft presence a mighty close second. On with the Jeffersonian simplicity. Only for the love of Mike won't the dear kind democratic newspapers, please, pretty please cut out the simplicity flapdoodle? OUR idea of the ancient sphinx is a replica of Mr. Wilson with h delegation of political reporters try ing to get him to unload the personnel of the cabinet. NEWS being dull, we have in structed our snake editor to work up another good story with Battleaxe Castleman running for mayor as a feature. CONCEALED WEAPONS. Another case of a "didn't know that it was loaded" pistol tragedy occurred in Gary Sunday when a man was shot through the eye. On New Year's eve another Gary man was instantly killed by a pistol ball fired by a drunken celebrator. These two occurrences lead the chief of the Gary police to comment upon the laxity of our laws in connection with the carrying of ..concealed weapons and the failure of the courts to enforce the law in this' respect. There is yet a chance that pistol carrying, of which there is a good deal in this part of the state where we have many foreigners, may become a bad thing to do. Senator Carleton, an Evansville newspaper man, who knows from his experiences as a reporter that pistol carrying is a menace to society, has introduced a bill in the legislature making it a penitentiary offense to violate the pistol carrying law. New oYrk has such a law and enforces it. JUST watch the candidates for mayor bob up and down. Class in algebra will please get ready to stand up. ' ARE you sore because you were not honored as one of the 50 Indiana Immortals? Neither are we. A FRUIT IN A STERILE PACKAGE. With the increasing demand for fresh fruits at all seasons of the year has come the difficulty of supplying them in a condition in which the dangers of contamination are largely averted. Decay is one of the limiting factors in the use of fresh fruits Among the many fruits there is on which is equipped in its native form with a protective covering that calls for more than passing mention. Some time ago The Journal of the Ameri can Medical Association emphasized the advantages afforded by the banana as a wholesome food and ventured the suggestion that this fruit, though growing in popularity, is still underestimated in American households. The banana consists, in its green state, largely of starch and water. The essential change during the process of ripening is a conver sion of the starch Into sugar. The rate of ripening is dependent on the temperature. The edible portion of each fruit is packed away in a peel which serves a more useful purpose than has hitherto been realized. Ex periments on the fruit in different stages show that the inner portions

of the pulp, of sound .bananas are practically sterile. The peel Is singularly resistant to invasion by bacteria. Even when bananas were immersed in fluids containing disease germs they did not penetrate into the interior. The probability of infection through the peel is therefore slight, though germs on the peel might be transferred to the consumer's fingers and thence to the mouth. This is an interesting example of a food delivered by Nature in practically sterile packages. Nature's wholesome service should not be undone by carelets methods of marketing such foods.

Yes, these docs will manage to get a new joy wagon every spring by some means or other. IT would be a good joke on hizzoner, the Hon. Tom Knotts, if the legislatchoor would pass the bill making Oary a second-class city and then quietly forget to amend that section which does not allow second-class city officers to be re-elected.

The tactics of Delphi were decidedly oft color and to cap the ciimax a bunch of grown-upshoodlums by instinct and cultivation saw fit to egg the Monticello crowd as it started for home.

U Heart to Heart Talks By 'JAMES A. EDGERTON WHEN SOCIETY SHOULD FORGIVE. The Jean Vaijeans are not confined to fiction. They are found in real life. There is the case of Emile Dealon of New Orleans. While a mere boy, he and a playmate set Are to a church. The other lad turned state's evidence, and Dealon under another name was sent to prison. He managed to dig his way out, wandered about the world for a time and, eighteen years ago. returned to New Orleans, married and settled down. Three children were born to him. He had a happy home and was considered a model citizen. Then, like a stab in the bnck-or-a blow in the darkness, some anonymous correspondent told of Dealon "s past. He was arrested for the boyish prank of thirty-three years before. His wife was prostrated fey the blow and was sent to the hospital. The three innocent children will have a shadow over them to the end of their lives. To the credit of the citizens of New Orleans be it said that a petition was at once circulated: and largely signed for Dealon's pardon. ; Possibly by the time this reaches the reader he will be a free man. Let us hope so. Yet this stigma will remain, and the pity of it is that it will also attach to those he loves. And all because of some miserable letter writer who wss too cowardly to sign bis or her name. Incendiarism, especially of a church. Is a crime and merits punishment: but Is not a life of rectitude a sufficient atonement for a youthful fault n fault probably due more to thoughtlessness and a spirit of mischief than to viciousneas? Such cases are uot rare, in various forms they crop up in , many communities. Individuals are taught to forgive. Should not society also forgive? Should not the man wbo reforms, who overcomes au evil trait or deed, who strives honestly and manfully to live down the past. In honored rather than blamed? This man paid bis penalty: paid it in his conviction. In bis imprisonment, in his years of life as a wanderer and escaped convict. In his haunting fear of discovery.

Fearing that Benjamin Fink, the man now in jail charged with setting fire to the Workinjmen'i Friend Store, was about to give bail of $10,000 and intended skipping the country. State's Attorney Hoyne of Chicago wired to South Bend that he be held by the officials, as he is wanted there on charges of setting fire to several buildings. The telephone message was sent following an all-day investigation at Chicago in the alleged "Arson Trust's" recent activities. SIES RETIRING SURVEYOR. The case of Charles H. Wann, Hamilton County surveyor, against Jame.s S. Shannon, retiring county surveyor, has been appealed from the Commissioners' Court. When Shannon turned his office over to his successor the first of the year he took with him the plans and specifications for the completion of twenty gravel roads which were Iregun under the administration of the retiring surveyor.
