AS TO THE INCONSISTENCY

OF VIRGINIA BROOKS Hammond. Ind., Feb. 2S. To the Editor: In answer to the editorial in 'last evening's issue of The Time"I would like a word In defense of the cause she represents. Xo doubt Miss Brooks realizes the debt of gratitude she owes the newspapers. She certainly ' could not have done the splendid work she did without their aid. , I hardly know the young: lady when I see her-so this is all supposition. - But after coming in contact with the vile and corrupt povernment of "West Hammond, the desire for the ballot is only a natural result. No doubt the thought of suffragf was the last thing- In her thoughts when she first started on her vice crusade, a young pirl hardly old e-nousrh to vote, but

after seeing- the condition of she was convinced that woman

rescue is the only rrsource. The question as to the fitness of women for the ballot has passed out of the minds of the people,- learned men have decided she is Just as fit as man. in fact she is too good. The

Question now arises would woman's

influence tend to raise the standard of politics, it has been a question In my mind for many years but this last session of legislature has decided it certainly cannot be any worse and If any thing so important as the governing of our nation has become so vile and corrupt that even going to the booth to vote would subject her to outrage the time has come for a. feminine hand to

tervene I believe women would have a refining influence on the political situation Just as she does everywhere else. I do not believe in the militant methods our English sisters are taking. I do not think it necessary for women to subject herself to ridicule and expose her health by marching to "Washington and the cause and women gen

erally must not be judged by a few ec

centric old rn aids we do not judge all men by "Cox's Army." The cause is just. are just as much concerned a"bout the laws that govern them as men are, generally speaking, they are Just as intelligent on civic affairs as man. They realize the legislator needs the voice of the

people who elect him to office and not the silent influence of the wife.

Women would take into consideraion the welfare of their sisters who

are rorced out of the home many of them as bread winners for the family,

women would not have killed a bill providing an eight hour law for wom

en, to make a few sore heads feel bet

ter because they did not get a certain bill through they wanted. I won't say what it was here but I can tell vou if

you want to know. Women are con

cerned as to the housing of the noor.

the eliminating of the slums, the solution of the social and moral questions, temperance and the terrible traffic of white slavery. Men look at life from a business and financial standpoint, women from the humane, seeking the preservation and the uplift of the race they are responsible for. The old saying "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world", it does while the world is in the cradle, but a mother can raise her boy under the best of Christian influence and

environment. But when he starts out alone "breaks home ties" as the old

saying is there is the open saloon, tho pool room and numerous other dives waiting ready to devour him, only one out of ten escape and a mother looks on powerless, not even a vote in the common council, we realize the world can

not be converted in a day, it will take

years but the time has come for women

in Indiana to slip bravely to the front

and demand her God given right self-

protection through the ballot and the time is not far distant my brother

whether you like it or not, when women will vote. SUBSCRIBER.

A DEFENSE OK MISS BROOKS. East Chicago. Feb. 28. Editor Times: On the editorial page

of your issue of Feb. 26 there are outlined various arguments against the

wisdom displayed .by - Miss Virginia

Brooks in affiliating with the cause of

votes for women.

At the outset is it not apparent that

what had been effected by one "pure womanly girl" single-handed might be

accomplished with double effect in

shorter time and with less sacrifice of self-respect by a community of wives and mothers eager for the proper en

vironment for the growing child? The

use of the ballot would of course simplify this.

It is shameful that conditions war

rant the publication in any newspaper

of this country of such words as the

the following, and is it not time that

radical measures were adopted in this

commonwealth to eliminate such con

ditions I refer to the phrase "the

debasing effects of politics." Pray,

who has debased politics and why

should politics be debased?

Evidently West Hammond may be

pointed to as a modern Utopia now,

else why the statement that "nothing

in her experience has pointed to the

ballot as a relief for conditions in West

Hammond." No doubt Miss Brooks In

an interview would intelligently refute

this argument, for it is evident she be

lieves in the power of a vote, and could further sweeten her environment and

keep it sweet if she and her friends

among the women had the ballot.

"All meri are brothers," and we suff

ragists claim that "all women are Bis

ters." The saloonkeper's foreign wife

tending the bar, the scrub woman and the laundress, the woman who makes her living by the exercise of her brain

rather than her hands, and women In the home are equally concerned by

measures brought forward by leglsla

tures and city councils afiectlng the

welfare of themselves, their children

and the home.

w nen a woman undertakes to per

form her public duty recognizing it as

such, I can assure you from personal

experience that the "curses of saloon

toughs" amount to very little it is

case of considering the source.

We differ with you materially in your estimate of, the place occupied by

pontics in tne world today, and we

trust that before many years roll ove

our heads it will be conclusively de

monstrated that polling places are not

to be designated as "hell holes of tho

world," nor the selection of public offi

cers as a "debasing" action.

It is respectfully hu crested that too much is taken for granted as to what

'Miss Brooks' experience has taught her,

and it is to be hoped she does not re

sent it.

tun justice cannot oe done to any

cause unless the critic is thoroughl

postel pro and con. and I have wonder

ed it the writer of the article referred

to above had had the time and oppor

tunity to post himself. Woman

sphere of action is shifting every day as economists well know; the days when her household duties required her constant attention have passed; no longer is it necessary for the wife and

mother to spin, to weave nor to fash

ilon garments; these are done for u

in great factories by machinery; and so it is all along the line. She now has

time to devote to public matters and it would seem a shortsighted policy which would debar her from exercising her purifying methods. KATHARINE SANTI.

President H. S. Norton of the Gary Commercial club was notified today and has promised to go toHammond with another member of the Gary or

ganization and make suggestions on

the makeup of the proposed bill.

It is impossible to present a syllabus of the measure that will finally be in

troduced as' changes in the bill are be

ing male from time to time, but the following general provisions will ap

pear: HAS BROAD POWERS. 1. The sanitary district of Indiana will be a separate taxing entity with the privilege of levying taxes up to 2 per cent of the assessed valuation of the district. 2. It will be governed by a board of five trustees to be paid a salary of $1,000 each. One board member will be

appointed by the mayor of each of the

cities in the district and the fifth will be appointed by the judge of the circuit court. '

3. The board will employ competent

engineers and legal counsel, the salaries of which must not exceed $1,000

"ear. . 4. The board of sanitary trustees la

to have the power to direct the manner of sewage disposal in all of the cities of the district, but the local sewer systems of these citizens will be built by the municipal engineer and will be paid

for by assessments levied by the municipality, and not the sanitary district.

WAST MORE WATER.

It is expected that the. first thing he new district will do will be to

make application to the government of

the United States for its quota of

water for drainage purposes.

The principal authority of the drain

age trustees will be .over the rivers

and tributaries of the region. The

movement followed the visit of the

drainage board of Chicago to Hammond the other day and their request that a

sanitary district be created in Indiana

to help in the purification of the Lake

Michigan water supply.

QUICKLY CURES THE

WORST BACKACHE

Makes Kidney Troubles,

Bladder Disorders, and Rheumatic Pains Vanish.

It is no longer necessary for any one

to suffer with back aching, kidney trouble, have disagreeable bladder and

urinary disorders to contend with, or

be tortured with rheumatism, stiff

Joints, and its heart-wrenching pains, for the new discovery, Croxone, quick

ly and surely relieves all such troubles.

Croxone Is the most wonderful rem

edy yet devised for ridding the system of uric acid and driving out all the poisonous impurities which cause such

troubles. It Is entirely different from all other remedies. It is not like any

thing else ever used for the purpose.

It. acts on the principle of cleaning ptftt

the poisons and removing the cause.

It soaks right In through the walls, membranes and linings, like water in a sponge, neutralizes, dissolves, and makes the kidneys sift out and filter away, all the uric acid and poisons from the blood, and leaves the kid

neys and urinary organs clean, strong, healthy, and well. It matters not how long you have suffered, how old you are, or what you have used, the very principle of Croxone is such, that it Is practically Impossible to. take it into the human system without results. There is nothing else on earth like it. It starts to work the minute you take it and relieves you the first time you use it. If you suffer with pains In your back and sides, or have any signs of kidney, bladder troubles, or rheumatism, such as puffy swellings under the eyes or in the feet and ankles, if you are nervous, tired, and run down, or bothered with urinary disorders, Croxone will quickly relieve you of your mis

ery. You can secure an original pacKage of Croxone at trifling cost from

any first class druggist. All druggists :

are authorized to personally return the

purchase price If it fails in a single j
