votes for women" affiliations
Nothing in her experience has point
ed to the ballot as a relief for condi
tions in West Hammond. Miss
Brooks has fought with and for men,
not women. Her battles have been
won by men and not women .
What influence women have exert
ed in her behalf has been with their
husbands. And if more women used their influence with their husbands there would be less talk about wom
en's suffrage. j
The world would never have heard
of Miss Brooks had it not been for
the newspapers. In her fights her chief weapon was publicity. She knows that and has admitted it. She sought publicity not for itself but to aid her cause Any woman with a righteous cause can secure the support of the newspapers whether or not she is enfranchised. In fact the newspapers, which are run by men, by the way,
have bo far refused to take the suff
ragette cause seriously.
Miss Brooks' experience has taught her further that the cleansing of the
ballot in West Hammond would not be accomplished by enfranchising the wives and daughters of the foreign
element there.
She knows that practifally' all of the saloon keepers in "West Hammond,
TlJRleadera Prohibition I among the foreign alemeat, permit

WATCH YOUR HAT.
Much thought must be given to
the decision of Justices Bijur and
Guy, of the Appellate Term of the
New York Supreme Court, the other
day, upholding a judgment of the
Municipal Court awarding $47 to a citizen for the loss of an overcoat In a restaurant.
Plaintiff had hung his overcoat on
a nook witnin two feet or where he sat, and when he had finished his
meal the garment had vanished.
Justice Bijur said the hooks on the
wall were an invitation to customers
to hang up their coats and hats, and that it seemed to him the coat was as much actually delivered to the temporary custody of the defendant as if it had been hung in a coatroom.
So far so good. But isn't this an invitation to restaurants to remove all hooks and thus compel customers t disgorge more petty graft by patronizing the generally unpopular hat check boy?
PERHAPS, as one interested in'
college football, President-elect Wilson will favor the plan to Increase the number of Supreme oCurt justices from nine to eleven.
. ARBITRATION. There will be no strike of railroad
firemen. Both sides have agreed to arbitrate. It is the only way.
The railroads have selected a man,
the firemen's organization another;
they will pick a third, and at a date to be announced the board of arbitration will meet holding open session.
True, the railroad managers hold
they are to argue under a -"defective and Inadequate law," and hint at in

A HELD OF CLOVER. .Every now and then a weird tale comes of out the Canadian northwest. He is one carried by the associated press yesterday: Edmonton, Alberta, Feb. 25. After subsisting thirty days on the skins of dead animals and finally going without food of any kind for eight days, Henri Le Claire, a trap- . per, killed Lea Lemieux, a Hudson Bay Company guide, near Mile 63. British. Columbia, and ate part of his body. Le Claire and Lemieux were on & hunting expedition. In a deserted shack seventy-five miles from a settlement, each man, starving, waited for the other to sleep, knowing the first to close his eyes would be killed. Lemieux was the first to, fall asleep.. Le Clairo scratched the story of his deed on the cabin wall with his knife. He has disappeared. What , a field the Canadian northwest offers to the newspaper cor

T1S A (iRAJiD OLD FLAG.
(Crown Point correspondence to ' The
Times.) Crown Pointers witnessed a beau
tiful and inspiring sight on Saturday night after dark. That is, those
who happened to look toward the flagstaff of the courthouse tower. Whipped by a thirty-mile breeze! the immense flag that had been hoisted early in the day to the top of the staff in honor of Washington's birthday, stood ' straight and nearly motionless in the heavens. Lights from the several arc lights around the public square seemed to play upon the old flag that stood out clear and distinct in the sky, the flag staff not being discernible. "Old Glory" looked as if it had been planted in the heavens, the high wind blowing
the folds straight'and clear against the sky. The lights below created i a striking effect upon the coloring of the flag and the unusual spectacle witnessed was one that will not be forgotten for some time by those who chanced to see it. WITHOUT a doubt the Crown Point
flag cut up like this because Porter
county has been divorced from our le
gal affairs. One can hardly blame the
flag.
