that freshets wash out some of this accumulated filth into Lake Michigan In any event. it is a disagreeable and disgusting state of affairs. The Calumet region in Illinois is. arranging to dispose of its sewage. The Calumet-Sag channel is under construction. It will have an initial capacity ot 2,000 cubic feet per second. This is not large enough to take care of the freshets which sometimes reach 16,000 cubic feet per second. The result will be that some of the
accumulated filth of the Calumet re
gion in Indiana will be swept into Lake Michigan along with the Illinois flow during certain days of maximum discharge. Indiana should adopt some proper method of sewage disposal. It is filthy to continue to dump sewage into the dead end of the Calumet river, which may son rival Bubbly creek. Illinois is doing her share. She is cleaning her own house and she has a right to expect Indiana to do likewise. Calumet Record.

had gone through three stages and that we are now in the third stage. The first he said was sympathy for the unfortunate fellowman; the second was emergency relief and the third which is being put into practice now is emergency relief combined with a system to re-establish the object of charity again into his own independence. Aside from the humanitarian aspects in the twentieth century plan,
it is supported by arguments for
economy. The poor are always with us, and the unfortunates will un
doubtedly be with us until the end of
time, but unless the public looks upon
these charges In a different light, con
siders them as fellow beings who have
"lo6t their grip" only temporarily.
the vast majority will always be
found on the debit instead of on tha

Under our present system in most
communities we continue to dole out
emergency relief and let the family struggle along in environments and
under conditions that fill the hos
pitals. insane asylums and institu
tions of correction. The public pays the freight at all stages Now what
is the twentieth century idea of
charity? In the first place it gives
emergency relief If needed, and as a
next step begins to coach the unfortunate. If sickness, a chronic disease is. at the bottom, thorough medical aid is given. If shiftlessness
and bad management are at fault.
new ideals of the home are supplied, if the bread earner is out of work, the community or its agent see3 to it. that he geta employment. Such a system appears expensive at first blush; It requires skilled workers, but experience has amply proven profitable In the long run. In Chicago a case is on record where charity workers continue to coach a derelect family on and off for twelve years. Today
this family owns its own home and is contributing to charity. Twelve years is a long time, but not quite as long as the time that the father and mother would have spent in the poor house, and the children possibly in some Institution for criminals. That is the mercenary side of twentieth century charity. The ethical and humanitarian side of it is brighter by far.

SHIPS AND MEN.
It is gratifying to hear from Wash
ington that the House democrats are coming to recognize the Importance
of keeping up the navy, and it
likely that two battleships instead of one will be authorized at this session. The navy is short about five thousand men and is pushing enlistment. This shortage Is from no dislike of the service, but to be accounted for by the practice of selecting only the fittest and the general posterity in all lines of employ for desirable hands.
It is a singular coincidence that a comparison with the British navy
made by the navy here shows that Great Britain is behind her full
strength by 12.000 men.

MORE OF THE CRAMPT0N. The Marion Leader is constrained to remark: "Editor A. B. Crampton, of the Times-Citlsen, of Delphi, is a candidate fo commander of the department of Indiana, G. A. R. AVe know nothing of Editor Crampton's army record, except as given by the Boothroyd post, of his home city, but if he was half as good a fighter as a soldier as he is a. newspaper writer, he was always on the firing line when his country was in danger." As the Fort Wayne News has fre
quently remarked, the best place to get a line on Editor Champton's style
as a newspaper , writer is in the rec ords of the federal court at Indianap
oils, and these records will also shed
much light upon the question of this man's worthiness to occupy the high
position of honor to which he aspires
should be compelled to keep the crossings clear. 'That-would give some
immediate relief and it depends
wnoiy upon me insistence oi tae SOME of the senators and repre.
people to what degree they shall be sentatives will be disposed to look
re-estaoiisnea in tneir rignis. upon the region in a different light
If that course is to be followed we now that they nave visited it
look to the city administration for
results, and it may rest assured, if It
is inclined to weigh the political
prestige in this matter, that there is
no divided public opinon.
The law is plain; of the four nun
dred trains crossing Hohman street
daily one the eighty passenger trains have a right to hold a crossing for
fifteen minutes and none of them do
as a rule. Freight trains have no
right whatever to stand still on
crossings, and with an efficient police
department, and an active city attor
ney this law can be enforced.
The first step in the right direction
is the employment of a specially detailed policeman whose sole duty it shall be to bring in offending railroad
crews.
The board of public words and the city council through other means can
command accomodations such as ex
tra engines for heavy trains and sta
tionary switchmen.
We appreciate that the law is unfair in that it puts the blame and the fines on the train crews, who are merely the corporations' agents.
They are unfortunate in that their
superiors make them violate the laws
We are with them to have this law
amended and in the meantime we
look to the powerful railroad broth
erhoods to adjust this matter with
their employers. But the law must
take its inexorable course for the
benefit of the whole city!
The subject is an old one with the
Hammond Chamber of Cojnmerce, but
its resources are not yet exhausted.
Its continued interest as a body, will
we believe, give not only backbone
to our public minded city officials
but arouse in some, that greatest of
all requirements initiative.

ON STATE SCHOOL QIESTIO!?. Bloomington, Ind.. Feb. 10.
To the Editor of The Timss:
At a meeting of the student body of
Indiana University the other day, some surprising facts were presented concerning the financial condition of the three educational institutions in Indiana. What impressed me most of all
was that Indiana stands last in the
ist of ten western states of Illinois, In
diana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota,
Iowa, Mlssoxiri and Kansas in provid
ing financial support for' higher edu
cation. The immediate reason for the
meeting was a desire to put before the
students, and through them, the peo-
re of Indiana, the needs of the univer
sity, and to justify if possible the re quest for a larger income.
The future of Indiana University
rests with the citizens of Indiana.
Every taxpayer should at this time ask
himself this question: Is Indiana Uni
versity and the two other State schools
repaying the money invested In them
To me there seems but one of two things to be done. It the State univer
sity is doing good work, then it should be given ungrudgingly the financial aid
necessary. If it is not a paying invest
ment then its doors shoud be closed
and the money devoted to some more
useful purpose.
AVhat is Indiana University doing for
the State? What has it done for the people of Lake County? 1 shall not pause to discuss the benefits which comes from having men and women better trained for the duties of citizenship. This is a commercial aid. Let us get down to figures. Lake county has been prosperous. Her prosperity comes partly from the rich farm lands which ate within her borders. What is Indiana University doing to help the farmer? A soil survey is now in progress (although held back by ' lack of funds.) which will moan to the farmers of Indiana thousand of dollars. As our popuatlon increases, intensive farming becomes more necessary. Two bushels of when t will grow wh"re one was made to grow before The work of Purrtu.? in
aiding the farmer will not be disputed.
She. too is hampered in her work. The Increased Income asked is net for one, but for' all three state schools. If the farmers want the work of Purdue to ge on. they must stand behind it. Good crops make good roads all the more necessary, for with poor roads the crop may rot in the fields before it can be hauled to the market. Geologists of Indiana University have instituted a Good Roads Movement and
by study of road engineering are mak
ing sure that the money spent on roads Is not wasted. And there are matters which mean even more than money. To every one
at some time comes sickness. It means far .more to him then that a doctor i a man who has been given the proptr training, for one mistake may mean even death to him. The Indiana Medical College, has been turninsr out men who are trained not ony to cure but to prevent disease. They are Instilled with the id?a not to. make the most money possible, but to be the best doctor posible. Preventative measures 1 applied . at the , outbreak ot, diseasi
saves the state thousands of dollars and the lives of hundreds. Is the train
ing. of such men a good thing for tho state?
Do you want the best men to protect
your interest if you get into a law
suit? Do you want the best men to make your laws and fill your public
offices? If Indiana Is to have the best
men, she must produce them. If he
does nt offer her sons and daughters
the best training, they will go to schools beyond the state. Is it an unreasonable thing to ask the citicens of
Indiana who are so closely concerned
to make this a personal matter, to get behind the nhovement and see that the
state university do get the support they require to make them equal to the
schools of other states.
What does the State University ask?
Only enough money to enable It to
work efficiently for the interests or the State For two years of 1911 and
1912 the total income of the university was $317,078. This represents. Indiana University's share of the tax of one-tenth of one mill, which is levied to support the three state schools, which are Indiana University. Purdue and the State Normal. Since this tax was levied the enrollment at Indiana University has Increased more than one hundred per cent, ar.d new demands are constantly made on this limited Income. The university asks that this mill tax be doubled. Thi means that every man who is assessed at 110,000,000, will have to pay $1.00 more a year. To the university it means the possibility of maintaining si university that 'shall be source of real benefit to the state. Is it an unreasonable request? I leave the answer to you readers. Very respectfully yours, LESTER A. OTTEXHEIMER.
