There are no two ways about it Those legislators, officials or anybody else for that matter who cast suspicion on tne sincerity or tne press, may rest assured that suspicion itself and of a most disturbing kind will in its turn be cast on them. JOSEPH Ettor who was to come to Hammond and Gary to str up trouble has been deported from Canada as a labor agitator. They do the right thing by Ettors in Canada. LET'S WAIT AND SEE. It is hoped, or feared, according to individual taste, that the report of the White House "going dry" was premature and the fine indignation of a portion of the press wasted. The London Standard, understanding that the drought edict was a fact accomplished, waxed exceeding wroth and laid about lustily, warning the .President that he "must be careful lest he gain the fatal reputation of being a crank." Unmoved by public clamor, after the fashion of the times, Mr. Wilson has not deigned any indication of what his intent may be, but it can be said the matter has not been decided or even taken up. President Wilson - is not a tee totaller, and there is no idea among those who know him that he will pose as a fanatic and run contrary to es tablished customs. Let's wait and see. FRENCH newspaper asks "Why are villains dark?" We know sev eral mezzo-blonde villains though who can give the black ones cards and spades In the deds of darkness. THE FOOL LEGISLATOR AGAIN Honestly doesn't It fairly disgust you the work of legislatures? Jlere for Instance the Ohio legislature bobs tip with a fool bill saying what women shall not wear. Under the provisions of the bill the proposed commission would be compelled to fix limits on decollette dresses so that "not more than two Inches of 'the neck below the chin shall be uncovered." Another clause of the measure provides "that trans parent stockings shall not be display

The commission would b authoriz ed to "prescribe rules and regulations for the designing and manufacture of women's clothing and to prohibit such styles ana patterns of garments as the commission after a hearing shall aeem to De detrimental to virtue and cnasirjf.v The bill goes eo far as to prohibit)

department stores from displaying portioned? Why by length of servundraped artificial figures. And yet ice and faithfulness. Only the man

Birm ingham Ledger. We donf believe literally speaking that a man can kill himself eight times out or ten. THE HOUSING PROBLEM. Gary is now in a fever of agitation over the housing question. It is the most sprimis nrnhipm that n fronts Gary today. It pales into lnsignificance the problem of a Gary harbor, the problem of locating additional nAa.A J 1 1 1w;lurira' lue 4"uoiui i purnjms politics and any others along that mana iiatnem s report on bousing conditions in mis region tne suoject has been one of intense interest. Tell us how your people live and we will tell you what they are. Good citizenship, morality, the. perpetuity of the marriage relation all are dependent on the housing standard that 13 adopted by a particular community. In Gary the squatters shack, in East Chicago the boarding house saloon, in Hammond the Standard Steel Car district are the evidences of a tendency towards bad housing. Three fourths of the immorality of any foreign community may be traced to tnese conditions. The squatter's shack in Gary is the result of a demand for labor that grew raster tnan tne supply or nouses ana tenements. Conditions in East Chicago result from a similar cause. The boarding house saloon houses tne worKingman at smaii cost ana aestroys the Initiative which would induce mm to Duiid a nome ror nimseir. The company house, such as has been built at the Standard Steel car plant is an institution, vicious in Its tendencies, which was forced upon tne company as a result or a aesire to enlarge its permanent labor market. Now what is it that makes the cost of a home prohibitive in these days of

high wages? The cost of materials the furtherance of the plans of puband labor are, of course, high but it Hcity Mr. Baumgartner has done good is faulty subdividing that is mainly WOrk and THE TIMES has been pleasresponsible. , ed to print his letter and wire copy Assuming that there are localities furnished to the newspapers along where lots may be had for $200 by the line. If there is a matter of news

The B. and O. anticipates the rewhich, generally at the owners be- quest and a wire from Baltimore hest, puts in expensive improvements brings an offclal statement from the which equal the cost of the property most authoriatative source. This is itself. why this railroad gets newspaper coSo the community which would operation, solve the housing problem according ' to modern economic ideas roust opeD - .

no pavement would be more than 20

feet wide, where no walk would be more than four or five feet wide and where the sewers would be construct ed at a minimum cost. Now these specifications do not ap ply to thoroughfares through such communities. Only to the side the secondary or residential stretes. A thoroughfare must be constructed with the idea of its being able to carry the arterial traffic. Having solved the problem of reducingthe assesments the next one that presents itself for solution is the construction of the house at a moderate cost. That is a problem for the commercial organizations of the city to settle for its workingmen. Architects should be employed to design a house that can be built at a minimum cost and will require a minimum of expense for upkeep. The house should be so planned that it can be built in one unit, then another added and another until finally It will serve the purposes of the man with a family. The first unit of such a house ought not to cost more than SI, 000. Thus a man with an investment of $1,250 would be paying only $73 a year interest, $5 a year Insurance, $25 taxes and $25 for maintenance making a total of $130 a year or a lltle less than $11 a month for rent. The man getting an average of $2 a day would then have something of a surplus with which to buy his house on the payment plan covering a period of years. And who would advance the money? Why the manufacturers, of course. The men whose Interest it Is to have sober, industrious, decent, honest, home loving men as their em ployes. Men who would not go off on a strike at the suggestion of some red eyed Industrial Worker of the World. The manufacturers of any one of th. conimunUleg could afford to loa Si 000.000 for home building a,ong those llne8- It wouM create a , , n lie uui uia i ivct uiicav,;iiu. And how would the houses be ap Wuo had been employed for a year and who had nroven that he is industrious could assume such a responsi jbility And where would the houses be built? They would be built anywhere within, the five cent fare limit where a lot wlth the ImprovenTents paid for would cost not to exceed $350 and would comply with the building restrictions imposed by the workingmen's wellfare committee. That is the way the housing nrob lem must be solved and it suggests that the traction lines of the region must be extended, not solely with the 'Jea of reaching thickly populated territories but also witn tne object or developing workingmens communlties where living conditions can be I made ideal.

Yesterday afternoon THE TIMES sent a wlre to Baltimore asking Mr. j H Baumgartner, assistant to the president of the Baltimore and : Ohio railroad to wlre a 200-word statement to this newspaper regarding the company's plans for Miller, where it will locate its Gary clearance yards. Within a few hours Mr. Baumgartner wired from Baltimore a statement in answer to the request. This is printed elsewhere In today's TIMES Tt k not alwavs an easv thine to obtain from a big corporation, even though Its plans have matured, news that would not harm its interests were Jt made public. However, there ha a erowine tendency to do awav witn the secrecy that used to sur roUnd business enterprises and we niav add gome recollections of official hnsolency. Among the first of the progressive corporations to take the newspapers, and that means the pub jic lnto its confidence, is the Bajtl m0re and Ohio. The results of President Willard's broad policy in this connection have been most beneficial to the company and many other corporations are now following the Willard standard.

OUR SPECIAL EDITION. THE TIMES today presents in its annual Easter advertising edition the announcements of a number of wideawake and progressive merchants who believe in publicity. They are getting the cream of the business simply because they advertise." If you go ta their stores you will find their stocks, right up to the market In a..am.4U1 ... --

crwjuuug you wm rind an air of prosperity there you will be waited upon by keen and Intelligent young men and women. You will find the proprietors of these establishments eager to please and to serve you. You will get value received for the money you spend. THE TIMES is. proud of its advertisers. They imbue the modern spirit of progress. They are always on top. TJhey are not afraid of the outlay of money spent for advertising. They are going out after your trade and they certainly deserve it. You are foolish to go to Chicago for your Easter shopping when you have these bargains at your doorstep. We bespeak Tor these gentlemen your patronage. ' It U coming to them. PHYSICIAK who got in a gambling game deeply, repudiates a debt of some $2,660 on the ground that it was a gambling transaction. Suppose a man should refuse payment of a doctor's bill on the ground that it was a tossup whether the patient "recovered or not. UNCERTAIN TENURE t Mr. Bryan's remark, "I am not prepared to discuss tenure in office. My own tenure ia, as I was about to say, brief, but my tenure has not even begun. I am sure your tenure is. therefore, not more uncertain than mine," is referred to as cryptic. It isn't so much cryptic however as it ls a frank confession that Mr. Bryan having once tasted the flesh pots is not going to be pried loose with a crowbar, for which no one however can blame him. SPECIAL session of Congress will be called for April 7 for tariff only. Every new administration looks up on the tariff as some new form of graft. SAM AND THE TOWN PUMP. Governor Ralston vetoed the, bill abolishing the microbe-rimmed pub lic drinking cup, and declared that he had a gosh-a'mlghty notlori to vetoe that anti-cigarette bill also. Still in passing judgment, let us re member that the governor came from Lebanon, where the town pump is the grandslre's delight, and where an evening session of the Smut club in front of Hank Puckett's livery stable or the Merry Widow restaurant would be a dreary blight but for the saving solace of cigarettes. Governor Rals ton looks after the home folks first. Hast ever been in Lebanon? Fort Wayne News. ADRIANOPLE says it can barely hold out another week. Sounds like a woman who wails, "I just can't stand this another day longer." TOM'S TALK. The state of Indiana is proud of the fact that one of its citizens Is the vice president of the United States. Nevertheless, if Vice President aMrshall were less inclined to flippant remarks about more or less frivolous and inconsequential Incidents and circumstances, the people would think better of him. He is too fond of talking, and remarks that may be overlooked in private conversation in cold type appear undignified if not actually childish. Washington Herald. H E A R D BY RUBE THIS newly-improved Edison dictator, whereby the business man dictates to a graphiphoc.e instead of to his stenographer, may be all right, but we bet that there'll be no great rush to install the device in offices where there happens to be an unusually pretty stenographer. "COLD RESTORES TH HAIR." Times' headline. . In this connection we may state that our special correspondent. Hennery Coldbottle. will spend the next few days ni the Hammond Brewery's re frlkerator in an effort to till out his bald spots. MR. BRYAN insists that the demo cratic party carry out the pledges of the Baltimore convention. Let's see, advocacy of a single term for the president was one of the chief pledges.
