"In my experience in Philadel-1 phia I have found that almost all the girls who have come to ua have drifted Into the underworld from positions which paid them enough to live decently. "The real cause of vice is lack of proper teac hing by American mothers. Motherhood In this country is at, a low ebb. Parents pay too little attention to the actions of their sons and daughters, and many would be surprised to learn that the daughter wno has "gone wrong" started her life of shame in her mother's parlor. We who work here in the district, and who come into personal touch with the women themselves, know that what I have said Is true". In a letter to the Chicago commis
sion a young woman says-.
Girls don't no wrong because they are hungry- or because they need clothes. They g wrong because they are tempted by lies and overpowered by the evil In men. "Thev listen to the fair and prettv 'things that men tell them and they fall because they think they can trust themselves and trust the tempters. It is pot the emplover. I was a goo& girl and t worked in a store. I didn't get much money, but that did not matter. 1 lived on f A a week and would be living like that now but I met men. They seemed to consider me their prey and all the time it was -fight tight, fight. They, wanted to be nice to me they said, and to take me to the theatre and treat me fair and give me a chance to enjoy life. "I didn't know men were bad all bad where a girl was concerned. 1 thought only women were bad. I thought all a girl ijad to do to remain goon was to be truthful with herself. God pity women who think that and who keep their trust In men until H is too late. "Every day tt was some one else always smiling at me always trying to give me a "fair chance' to be happy. In the street they followed me. These 1 could avoid, but the 'friends' who hung

From La Porte ways wafts the in

is about to resign his job because he
has the oil well craze. The Honor
able Lem has been mayor of LaPorte
so long that the oldest inhabitant of
that ancient city can't remember
when he wjas first inaugurated. It is hoped that the news isn't true for we long ago had deeded that the
LaPorte burgomaster was a pefma

But the old order is changing. Jim
Wilson, for sixteen years secretary of agriculture has parted from his

WHAT THE NEW LAW PRbVIDES ' . FOR THE CHILDREN OF INDIANA.

Tomorrow the Inher- . ltanee tax larr will he described. Indianapolis. Ind., March 14. The importance of the vocational education law- enacted at the 1913 general assembly of Indiana can hardly be over-estimated. It is expected to eventually revolutionise the educational system of the state. Where in the case of the public service commission bill Indiana followed other states, in this rase Indiana leads the nation. Already other commonwealths are asking for copies of the law with a view of enacting similar laws. It Is not compulsory on any county In the state toy undertake vocational education. But by a little thought it
can be seen how counies will gain In the long run by going ahead with the new education under the act. In the first place an additional levy of one cent on each one hundred dollars of taxable property In the stale is laid by the law. The resulting fund will be used by the stae board of education to assist In founding vocational educational schools and departments in existing schools. If a county does not take advantage

THE FACING OF A PROBLEM.
Why, says an esteemed woman
in a letter to the editor of this paper
"is it necessary for you to discuss in
your columns problems that deal with the Jeies when we are trying to keep our children in ignorance of them as long as possible? Do you think it it necessary? Do you think it helps matters?" With profound respect lor this feminine reader, we hasten to say that we certainly do think it necessary for a newspaper with any sense of its duty to the public to acquaint
it with the pitfalls of life. We believe -it is folly for people to be ostriches hiding their heads in the sand and having eyes that see not.
Twenty years ago subjects dealing
with social problems that are discuss
ed in the newspapers of today were taboo. They were not considered
polite. The world was not living as fast then as it is today. There is
less of prudishness now. People
good men and women realize that
solemn problems have to be faced. They know well the stern duty that
fathers and mothers owe to their children. When these parents were
children, they lived in a different
atmosphere. They had different as
sociations. There was not the need
of the untiring watchfulness . that parents ,of today must ever give the'r progeny;. Whether the world ii growing worse or better is not for
discussion
On our doorstep In Chicago a ques
tion is being discussed that with the
close proximity of Hammond, East
Chicago and Gary is brought close
home to this great region which
furnishes many young people who work in Chicago. When it is shown that cities in this region are harboring unfortunates who have r.' figured in this vice inquiry, it certainiv is time to say something. There are many social problems to be considered beside the sending of pulse-warmers to the Feeji Islanders.
It was pointed out to the editor of
this paper by a half-crazed father re
cently that since the street railway connects Crown Point and Gary many young lads make a practice of going
"That is the big. big secret of
tbe thing that makes a good girl bad. If they had left me be It they had only let me be- only let me live as I wanted to. I wouldn't have had to slink Into the room when your commission was trying to solve things and wouldn't havehad to sit in a corner with my veil down, afraid to look a good woman in the fact." Another cry from the underworld - echoed - the words of this letter. It was more bitter though and It read in parts: "You're looking for the things that made such women as I. Low wages! ance hall! Hunger! Cold! Thev all helped a bit. but they didn't turn the trick themselves. You're all a bunch of hypocrities, afraid to look the thing in the face and afraid to learn the truth. "I don't know any girls who sold themselves for money to buy bread or clothes. But I do know lots of us who hit the rpad for hell by a lot of blackguards kept hounding them with their rotten attentions' God help the men and not us. We're all right when we start. All we need is to be left alone. There are hundreds and hundreds of kinds and sports who hang around State street, Chicago, and wait like wolves for the tired girls to leave the store. . "Why don't you make the men be good? . .All the wages in .t Siworld won't help us. . Make -tha men good and the girls will be , good. "Now. they haven't got a chance and they never will have as long as the law smiles at one and spits at another."
A contemporary in speaking of the
conditions on the streets of any city
whereby it la easy to take the first
terible steps says:
The streets are full, afternoons
and evenings, of young girls with their
faces covered with paint and powder, and as much of their necks and
hosiery displayed as is permissible.

are taken to so-called clubs, where they drink beer or whisky,

upon the sensibilities of the people
of the state.
There is this encouragement: The
Courier calls to mind only one other
legislative session, in recent years, which went to such lengths' as was attained last night in Indianapolis. The closing session of the New Jersey legislature, a few years since,
was marked by a drunken debauch which equalled the affair of last night. But it was following that direful spectacle, in its legislative halls, that New Jersey began to wake up. . ." " - ': The question is, here in Indiana,
the county council which must appro
priate annually $1,000 to be used in ' paying tbe county agent's salary and other expenses, ifhen the county education oard applies to Purdue univer

IT HELPS YOU, TOO. Your sympathy helps the other fel
low by giving him a double pleasure in his happiness, or by lifting part of his load In trouble. Hut it also helps you. - John Burroughs says: ''There is no preservative and antiseptic, nothing that keeps the heart young, like sympathy; like giving yourself with enthusiasm to some worthy thought or cause."

"Their mothers do not, and per

MUZZLING THE PRESS. The house by concurring in the
Senate amendments to the corrupt practices act amendment now makes certain the Zearing libel provision
will become a law If Gov. Ralston
signs it. The present libel law for
bids such practices as Senator Zear-
ing's amendment, but to prove the truth of the statement is always a
good defense. By the Zearing amend
ment this defense is probably taken
away. Apparently it is an attempt!
to follow the English law that the more truth in the statement made the greater is tha libel. ' We do not think for a moment the newspapers or the people will sit. passively under the law. The first attempt to enforce it will be taken to the supreme court, and fought out there. In the opinion of many lawyers there is no doubt that it is unconstitutional. It is a deliberate muzzle on the press and on the right of free speech, for the amendment affects
persons as well as newspapers. Political discussion is absolutely barred
by the bill.
The only persons who will hail the
law with delight, we think, will be
the Lorimers, the Lieut. Beckers, the
Tearneys and the Zearings, whether
they are in Chicago, New York, Indianapolis or South Bend. It is said thg law is a part of the New York law. We do not know ajbout that, but, if it
is

GEE HOW LONG THE ICICLES ARE! Some of us were perhaps a little apprehensive about the nev admin

with that new twelve dollar Hi Henry why everything is going to be hunky dory. The administration strove to please from the outset. The new president had no sooner taken his seat and puzzled politicians hurfying to the pie-counter started asking each other, "What are we going to have rain or snow?" then down came both, cooiously, pitchforks and snow-
shovels, with fog and a darned old blizzard thrown in for good measure. Oh you Mr. Wilson!
