Well some of them here, old enough to be grandmothers are quite adepts at it. MILWAUKEE judge refused to find a couple guilty of assault and battery for striking a bore who insistedj on making an after dinner speech. Postprandial experts around these diggings should profit by his example. PICKPOCKETS, Some inside Information as to the workings of pickpockets was printed in the Chicago Dally News a few days ago. It was stated that this class of thieves is tolerated but not allowed to operate in Chicago tolerated because of police corruption. Yes, we know this very well. This pickpocket gang that has been working the South Shore and Gary and Interurban cars have found the privilege "good pickings." Scores of poor devils have been robbed and the police seem to be helpless. We have yet to record the conviction of a pickpocket in this county. ONE thing which gives satisfaction to many Americans is the 'fact that every anniversary of Washington's birth finds the nation's capital, nam ed for him, more worthy of his fame and his country's greatness. BLOODY FIGHTING. If the Turkish government had not put forth extraordinary effort to hold the north shore of the Dardanelles and thus keep control of the water highway to Constantinople, no such losses as are admitted in dispatches from that city could have been sustained. It is confessed that the Turks have had more than 13,000 men kill ed or wounded in the struggle for Gallipoli, and the proportion said to have been sfain indicates that many thousands of the wounded have been taken prisoners or are in some other way kept out of the published totals These facts prove that the Ottoman , power in Europe has been reduced to the last extremity. It is clear tba the most frantic efforts to beat back the Bulgarians who are operating near the Dardanelles have resulted in nothing better than severe losses ; and an apparent victory for the Bulgars. It cannot be long before such hammering of the Turkish lines will break through their fortifications, either before Constantinople or near Gallipoli, and then there can be noth-

At London the representatives of the Balkan states plainly showed that they dreaded the losses and burdens of a renewal of the war but the Turka kept up a show of confidence which has been made ridiculous by the course of events since the conference ended in disagreement. The hard conditions of peace offered the Sultan then were better than the terms he will yet be forced to accept. SURE, ORGANIZE IT. Talking of organizing a humane society in Gary tonight. Great idea But let its chief object be to have a humane election day in Gary. Also, a lot of boomers and newspaper men ought to be hauled into Judge Ruber's court and fined ,$11.90 for cruelty to politicians for suggesting them for office. Seven or eight months hence the new humane'society will have its hands full and it ought to put in its org er for muzzles quite early. MR. Wilson will limit his inaug uration address to 2,000 words. I will take more than that number, however, to explain to the fellows who don't get the offices. IT will not be a real inauguration week in Washington. Congress in-; tends to prevent the hotel keepers from overcharging their guests. GOVERNMENT RAILROADS. An . impressive argument against the government operation ot rail roads is furnished by the French ex perience in .. ponnectioa-- witb i. the 1 "Chemia d Ferr dexTQuest.'; In. France most of the more important lines are owned by the government and operated by private companies J J. i , I uuuer teruiiuauie tonceshions. inree years ago the concession of this western railroad fell in, and the Radicals and Socialists in the parliament in sisted that the government should take it over. This idea encountered strong opposition, especially in the senate, from conservative and level-headed men, who knew very well what would happen if it were adopted. Their protests were disregarded and their opposition overcome. The ministry then in power attached more importance to me wamcai ana socialistic support, from which it derived its! majority, than it did to the interests! of the country, and the scheme for the nationalization of the railroad of the West went through. Precisely what had been predicted has since taken place. In three years the operation of the road has cost the country over $33,000,000, while the service has been so bad as to consti tute a national scandal. Time tables have been a mere matter of form and fatal accidents have been so numer ous that people have been afraid to travel on the road. So much for the Idea that railroads would be better run by the govern ment. Philadelphia Inquirer.

It is quite the fashion to employ the brief and breezy, terse and tart expression. It seems to fit the spirit of action of our day, which breathes an intensely practical view of things. And there is advantage in this as well as the epigram, but also disadvantage, even more there is potential harm. The epigram is forceful and effective, chiefly because it puts a thing in a nutshell, so that it may be carried away" and retained by the average mind. In this very virtue lies its! danger. The tendency to put a thing!

TELEPHONE MANNERS. You wouldn't think of ringing a doorbell, and then sayintr gruffly to - the person - who opened the door, 'Who are you?" now, would you? And yet that is just what you do: sometimes with somebody else's tele-j phone, isn't it? At the door you! would inquire courteously for whom you wanted, and wouldn't show de-i cided annoyance if you found that he didn't live there. Here is Been a diff-' erence between the door and the tele - phone. On the other hand, if you answered your doorbell, and found some one there who had mistaken the hose, you would not snarl at him because the mistake had been made. Not at all. oYu would explain his mistake, accept his opologies and in , . - - Not so with the telephone. To be sure, the telephone companies are responsible for most of the mistakes, but it doesn't make life any easier or even so livable to wrangle the length of a. telephone wire with some one who is no more to blame than your I self Another thing that it is well to J bear In mind is that the telephone Ib J rather a means of communication j than a vehicle for conversation. Remember that the person holding the 1 receiver is likel to get tired before you pour your whole 60ul into the I transmitter, and time yourself ac cordingly. Remember, too, that the one who calls is the intruder. The one who answers may be interrupted in important business, or important pleasure, which is even more annoy
