A CIRCUS OF THEIR OWN. A sensational revivalist is conduct-
ins what he calls revival meetings at Columbus, Ind., this week. He draws
crowds by vaudeville methods, runs
his picture in the newspapers while going through a lot of circus poses.
Incidentally he calls some of the women of that city thieves and intimates that some of them are worse than that. He advised the
young men to look for - wives at prayer meetings and the young wom
en to do likewise. "The woman who
is willing to be hugged at a dance before Bhe is married will let some
other man hug her after marriage,"
was another assertion that is provoking a storm of criticism. The evangelist said the woman
who goes to a card party and accepts a prize for having the highest score is ethically a thief. She has no right to It, he asserts, any more than a person who would enter 'the house and steal the article given as a prize. He advised women who have prises In their homes, won at card parties,
to throw them out because they are harboring stolen property. You can guess how much good Martin is doing at Columbus. The people there don't care whether Hagenbeck's. circus comes there or cot this summer. They have had Martin." He's enough.

HE CANNOT UNDERSTAND. Out of Chicago the womb of sensationalism, comes the story of a pastor whose wife eloped with a criminal. The pastor's wife had met the man while visiting the prisoners and solacing them. The crlmlna.1
was young, he was handsome. Of course he was fascinating. When hi term expired the pastor's wife met
him again. The elopement followed
Now the preacher is amazed. He
mourns his wife, naturally. She had
been his helpmate for years, almost
his slave.
She was fair to sea. Commenting on the. perplexity of the elopement
the good man said: "A great problem is offered here for the psychologist and the scientist. I can't figure out the state of
a woman's mind who will leave five small children, the youngest Just past a year old, for the love and the companionship of a criminal." Neither psychologist nor scientist arewwe, yet we fall to see why it is a' "problem." It Is a story as old as the bills. It is easy to answer. ' Here is a young and pretty girl wed to a man whose daily life Is religion, preaching, prayer, funerals, vieiting the sick and afflicted and getting a shameful pittance from his congregation, a congregation that he has literally to beg enough from to. keep body and soul alive. . She bears him children, one after the other five in succession.

Just across the strait of Otranto, at the southern end of the Adriatic Sea, the Turkish province of Janina has been fanatically Moslem, in the main, and utterly alien to the country facing it westward. In Janlna Oriental tyrants have ruled under the Sultans, and they have let the pro
gress of the world drift past almost unnoticed except when it led to wars or afforded an excuse for new oppression or massacres. Janina, as a district of Turkey, has been as hostile to
Italy in feeling and as foreign in

the state of Indiana wUl assume the regulation of its public utilities and the way to more extensive municipal ownership of gas, electric, water and street car companies will be opened. How strong will be the hand of regula
tion depends on the character of the
two men whom Governor Ralston adds
to the present railroad commission to make up the new public service commission.
Whether municipalities will be able
to get money to take over utllties
depends in many cases on Whether
the state constitution is amended to
enable the cities and towns to Issue bonds for that purpose in excess of their present debt limit
The new law, the chief work of the '
legislature lust ended, is one of the
best of its kind in the country If
administered by a strong commission.
The commission will have the tre
mendous power of establishing- Quali
ty and rates of service for telephone,
telegrapfi, heat, light, water, elevator
or warehouse business. Steam railroads are under the new commission.
but the old railroad commission law, not the new law. applies to them.
Must Give Satisfactory Service. Every public utility company is re
quired to furnish reasonably adequate service at reasonable rates, and publlo
convenience must be conserved at all times. The commission shall value all property of every public utility. Every
company is required to keep and render to the commission in the form required by It. uniform accounts. A depreciation account shall be carried by the
companies when ordered by the commission. The rates shall be Buch as
will provide the amounts required over and above the expense of maintenance
to keep the property In an efficient
state.
Upon complaint of ten persons that any rate or practice of a company is unreasonable, discriminatory or that
any service is inadequate or unobtain
able, the commission shall investigate.
All the company's affairs shall be open
to the inspection of the commission or Us agents. But no order shall be entered by the commission without formal public hearing with ten days' notice to the company and the complainants of the time and place of the hearing;.
Whenever the commission finds it necessary, it shall enter an order fixing the rate or service, to take effect twenty days unless otherwise ordered. If the company is dissatisfied with such order, it may appeal to the circuit or superior court of any county in which the order is operative. No injunction shall be issued suspending
any order of the commission except upon application to the circuit court of Marion county, notice to the commission and hearing. All utility eases in the lower and the supreme court
are to be advanced. The burden of
proof is on the side adverse to the commission.
No utility company shall issue stock ' except for actual money, and no stock
I shall be sold at a discount or premium
without the approval of the commls
sion, and if sold at a discount, the
commission shall give such publicity thereto as it deems proper.' No bonds may be sold at less than 75 per cent of their face value. The commission i is given general authority over stock
! and bond issues.
i Every municipal council shall have the authority to determine by con
tract, ordinance or otherwise the term
and conditions on which a utility may
occupy the streets, and such order shall stand unless set aside by the commission on appeal of the public
utility company. If the council re
fuses the company an extension tha
company may appeal to the commis
sion. Only to Indiana Inventors. .
Hereafter franchises may be granted only to Indiana corporations or Indiana citizens. Such franchise shall have the effect of an indeterminate permit subject to the provisions of the law and may be revoked by the com
mission for cause or that the municipality may purchase the property paying therefore the then value of such property as determined by the commission. The privately owned company must sell to the municipality at the commission's terms and order. Any city Is given the power by this law to construct and operate a utility. The bill goes into minute detail for the procedure by which a city takes over a utility and how the company shall appeal o the circuit or superior courts or the commission to prevent an abuse of this power of eminent domain. Political contributions by utility companies and polities of all kinds are
narred by tne new law. Kebates are
outlawed. Strict penalties are provide
ed. Full and quick reports of acci
dents are required. The commission
may draw up to $73,000 a year to en
force the law. Each of the five com
missioners will receive $6,000 a year.

GOOD GOVERNMENT WINS.
Mayor K. M. Wosczynski of West
Hammond, Ignatius Mankowskl, the
clerk of the city and the rest of the
administration forces are to be con
gratulated on the complete cleanup
they made of the old gang. x
What cleaning up they neglected to
do at the last election was done at
this. Judge Frank Green, the per
sistent champion of the notorious
saloon keepers, was overwhelmingly defeated.
Henry C. Peters, known as the
divekeeper's candidate, got only 161 votes for the office of mayor o Wosczynski's 411 and Michael
Modrzejewskl, another gang candidate for mayor, with the support of
r. B. Nowakowskl, got only 133
votes or one . third as many as
Wosczynski,
If the solemn statements of Mayor
K. M. Wosczynski and Clerk Ignatius Mankowskl are to be credited there is a sorry state of affairs.
They charge that Rev. B.
Nowakowskl openly worked for the election of Michael Modrezejewskl.
It is known that at the last election he sought to bring about the election of his relative Joseph BBinskl for city attorney.
But in spite of his attempt to influence theelect!on the forces of reform won and now there is the certainty that peace quiet and prosperi
ty will prevail for at least another
two years.
The primary fight of yesterday
may decide the election. It shows that the gang is overwhelmingly licked. They will now have to go to work. It will be better for them and
better for West Hammond. We have
seen the passing of the old days. He-
form has won.

TALL EXPLAINING.
In case the 168 salooftnien of Gary
are so unfortunate to . lose their licenses Mayor Knotts will have. to do some tall explaining. As father of the low license bill that has resulted
in Jeopardizing the saloonmen he has
brought them Into a pretty pickle
However, even should the saloonmen
lose, doubtless hlzzoner win be re
sourceful enough in getting out of
, the mess. - o"
"WIIQ killed Cock Robin?" isn't so much of a matter of moment to some local promoters as "Who killed he gas cock bill?" - FORMAL statement has been issued from the White House to South American revolutionists in six. countries warning them not to start any monkey business. If the Hon. Tom Knotts of the Gary city hall has any Influence at all with the new administration he might induce the president to Include old atleaxe Castleman In .the pronunclamiento. GOVERNOR of Kansas has asked he legislature of that state to abolish itself. The governor of Indianny could have conferred a great favor upon the people of this commonwealth by making a' similar request. JUDGING front the way gasoline is going up, bye and bye only the very wealthy will be able to afford to take their autos out on holidays and Sundays.
ALMOST time for the Hon. Art Um-
pleby, grand vizier -of the Gary steel i mill fans, to begin his annual spring

Many a working girl will tell you that she has no opportunity of meeting a b:oo1, noble, marriageable man. In desperation at the hopelessness of their surroundings they resort to flirting, answering glance for glanca and smile for smile of some stranger. who has apparently singled them out of the crowd aa they came and went from their work.

John Gulgley, who lives near Stan-
berry. Mo., was so overjoyed at th
news of Wilson's election that he couldn't speak. He rushed to his room, grabbed his fiddle and fiddled
until supper time without stopping.
-After supper he "lit in" and played until the folks complained. He then
went into the smokehouse and fiddled
all night, until he was called to
breakfast.

the new nickel.

rest assured that he has a substantial
and permanent place In the corridors of
time.
