Any clerkshould seek another po sition promptly, if it appears that his

empioyer is the sort of man who isjble.

iiKeiy to stana in tne way or ms bustness advancement, or to object to his 1 ... 1 seii-improvement along general lines not connected with business. There are many employers who in-J sist that a young man has no outside I Interests along the line of self-Ira provement to take his mind from business matters. ' I That the emnlover has the rieht to TAKE such a position, we are not here to question, but the clerk who ""u,u" lu uc lu,,m dUU BLls ac" uixxsij, i0 wuiK.ug mong suicmai "nesEvery young man and woman owes it to himself or herself to develop the mina along general lines, and this can generally be done without Impairing one's present efficiency in business. The old maxim, "If drinking Interfere with your business, quit your business, "might well be adapted to the present Consideration." If your future prospects are endangered by your present business, quit that particular business. '

We do not mean that there are not.1tauSht the rudiments of journalism

at times, too great extremes to which such a doctrine as this can be carried. But I do mean that unless :i joung man or woman has others dependent upon him for support, he has not justification whatever ki fastening himself to an employer which will prevent his general mental growth. A good night school will not impair either your health or your daily efficiency. It is a thousand miles better for both than billiarditis. brideewhist nov , . ... paralysis of the success nerve or booze fever. It Is also better than rust. EXPEDITION started vester lav yesterday for the land of the blond Eskimo on a hunt for new races. Might as well start an expedition too to find a few candidates for office on the Hammond municipal ticket. THERE are Bill Bryan, Bill Wilson, Bill McCombs, Bill Redfield, Bill McAdoo, Bill Edwards and Bill McDonald at Washington and couldn't it be fixed so that big Bill Cain could slip in somewhere.

Probably the same man who two weeks ago fell twenty-two stories and on reaching the sidewalk asked for a cigarette and nobody had one. IN the meantime If you are going to do it at all, do it now, i. e.. give wine money to buy that Easter bonnet. THINK our "peerless leader" looks perfectly gorgeous in a III Henry don't you?(Qh this Jeffersonian sim plicity business eh? WHAT WOULD YOU DO ? "What would you do if you were a millionaire?" was the question pro pounded to the little boys of an east side school the other day says tha New York Tribune The little east eiders answers were interesting. Some of them wrote: I would have a house with rooms for each kind of use. such aa sittineroom, bedroom and dining room." "I would buy banks and be a bank president at a large salary." "I would live on Fifth avenue in a clean house and buy autos and chariots "I would be proud of my situation and also glad, and I would own autos and earn money by hiring them out." I would go to the finest "movies' every night, also matinees if possl't would buy a yacht and be elected mayor and corner the market "i would feast my peasants, also institute an educational school." "I would buy the subway and get rich by charging 10 cents." BEADED stockings are quite the thing this spring. This, Incidentally from hearsay not observation. AMIDST all this inauguration aftermath has any one had an interview with Miss Pauline, the Taft cow? A PRAISEWORTHY PLAN. A. L. Murray, the head of the Eng lish department of the Hammond high school has mailed THE TIMES some journalistic efforts by his students. Mr. Muray's idea is a good one. It would be a valuable experience were every high school student to be In connection with his English work The hi&h school and college stu cent studies every branch of literature except the journalistic sy.le And the journalistic style is the most common Were the average person to be given for a few Drlf hours, the pointer view of the newspaper man and editor and his ability to understand the newspaper which he reads every day would be greatly developed He would be able then to boil dftwn ovorvf h i n or Vi o cava i n tbtntrQ s ... something that all newspaper men g that all newspaper are not able to do. Mr. Murray has had experience in journalism and hence his suggestion There is a very litle verbosity in the aany recnai or me aoings or a community, little use for high sounding adjectives and highly descriptive phrases. Journalism Is the literature I practical. It should be taught in the schools. It would help the average person to get to the point of an issue It is the right sort of discipline Does the newspaper say, "The soft summer breezes were blowing, the song of the lark in the meadows had ceased, the little violets lifted thei

petals to drink the descending dew, tc, etc., when suddenly the roar of flames was heard etc., etc.," or doe3 It say, "A fire of unknown "origin at eleven o'clock last night destroyed the residence of John Jones, 2231 Halney street The progress of the fire was so rapid that it was impossible to save etc., etc.," A news story is a third rail literary effort. You get the shock first and speculate on it afterwards.

ALL the, confidence Sir Thomas Lipton had Jn the New York Yacht Club seems to be misplaced. As a matter-of-fact we believe one or two of the members must be in the tea business. LOUD wait says that JPr. Knotts' resignation story was a pipe dream. Didn't we Bay so? Slush! Roll the gentleman another pill and see that nobody else wakes up or they'll have the contractors graft association on the run. WHY GIRLS GO WRONG. The Illinois vice commission has rendered a great service to the country by taking what seems to bea wrong line in its investigation. Its apparent assumption that the denizens of the red Jight district are re cruited from working girls whose pay is inadequate to support them has called for the a storm of protest from those who know more about the women of the underworld than it does The result is that a better insight in to this sad and heavy problem is be ing obtained by the public than has ever been afforded it before. Miss Heard, superintendent of the temporary shelter for women in Philadelphia, adds her testimony to that of others who know, in declaring that most of the fallen women have drifted into their present position from conditions under which they lived comfortably and decently. As to the fundamental cause of the downfall of girls, she says: "Mother hood in this country is at a low ebb parents pay too little attention to the actions of their daughers, and many would be surprised to learn that the daughter who has gone wrong started her life of shame In her mother's parlor. We who work here in the vice district and who come into contact with the women them selves, know that what I have said is true." The majority of men ought also to know It is true. They havfr come in contact with the class of young men, scattered through every calling of life, who consider the. leading of a girl from the straight path something to boast of among their fellows. And they should know, from the circumstances as gleefully recounted, that such a thing would have been- Impossible if there had been the proper motherly care and vigilance. No, the girl doesn't always go wrong because she has to work hard for little pay. It Is because she has not the right kind of home training and protection and because there are always men ready to take advantage of the fact. HARD QUESTION. If Freedom shrieked when Koscius ko fell, what do you suppose she did when Woscyznski defeated Modrze ewski for mayor of West Hammond last week? Muncie Press.. Who knows? She may have drop ped dead. THE fly is now in the same fix as Cipriano Castro. An international swatting campaign has been started against him.. A CHICAGO University professor proves that the mother-in-law joke is 5,000 years old. But as a Joke the Chicago University professor can't claim any such distinction. THE PRESS MUZZLE. Every citizen, public or private, is entitled to protection from libel and slander and no institution is more de sirous to protect him in that right than the newspaper. The Indiana libel law as it stood before the Zear ing amendment to the corrupt prac - tices act was passed guaranteed him that rifrht nnd was stontlv nnhelrl hv the nrpss. That law. however, not the press. That law, however, not only provided that the statement complained of should be false but that it should have been made in malice. This provision " was made to protect not only the publisher but every individual also from being unjustly punished for an error in judg ment. Governor Ralston succeeded in having the word "falsely" inserted in the Zearing amendment, but was not able to also get in the word "maliciously." Everyone knows how. difficult it is to arrive at the exact truth of the motives of lobbyists infesting and often disgracing a legislature. If the news papers were disposed to abide by the

PRESIDENT

CD ii it Zearing amendment as good law itj couia not be pointed out nor Inferred,1 without positive proof, that those motives were other than in the interests of the people. A crooked candidate for an office could and might hire witnesses to swear the true statement published against him to be false; crooks stand together and have mutual Interests. No newspaper, unless it kept on its pay roll a force of detectives almost as numerous as the perjurers in the employ of the crooked politician, could summon as many witnesses to its defense. The very activities of so many investigators would lead to publicity and a conse quent closing of the avenues of In formation. In fighting the public battles the newspaper has to face risks no other business Would face and the reporter, editor and publisher assume responsibilities no other man would willingly assume. Surely an institution doing so much in behalf of the people de serves the additional defense of malice intended. It is the height of unfairness to give an individual the right to the defense of malice and deny it to the conservators of good government and public weal. It Is a matter of congratulation that the newspapers of Indiana are not disposed to sit quietly under the operation of such a law. It will mean a fight and expense to some paper or papers to take, the matter to the supreme court and show it to be unconstitutional, but it may be predicted now that It will be declared unconsti tutional the first time resort is had to the law. Newspapers have not yet surrendered the vision of their high calling before the onslaught of" any peeved legislature which has misrep resented the people. South Bend Tribune. UNCLE Joe Gurney Cannon says he is going to stick in politics.- We hope he doesn't stick like some exofficials and continue going down the line to be eventually elected constable or something like that. TELL your gentler half that a Philadelphia woman who celebrated her 101 birthday recently attributes her longevity to the fact that she never "dolled up." In other words saved her peace of mind by never having to cover up a switch or look for a hat pin. POLITENESS BY OFFICIAL ORDER. The Pennsylvania railroad com pany has according to report instructed its employes to inform passengers regarding causes of delay of trains In which they happen to ride, and to tell them how soon they can expect to proceed on their journey. Station agents are to post similar information. This will be a great hardship for one Pennsylvania office in Lake county that we know of. Corporations are not all together sou less after all. The Pennsy's humane order proves that. Carrying out the instructions will probably add nothing to the art and literature of the nation, but It will save the nerves and the good will of the . traveling public and in g public and in the conserva tion of these the corporation is wise. Now if we could only Induce our suburban companies to follw suit, the theater train's stop for ten minutes at South Chicago would not seem like an hour. WHAT is worse than an idle elephant? Baltimore Sun. Quit making us restless. You know circus days are coming. WgQXDER what Bennett Clark son of Champ Clark and recently given a $4,000 per annum job would have got had his dad been elected president?

WILSON AND THE MEMBERS OF HIS CABINET IN

EE ARB BY R UB E FRENCH oonnoiseur says that American women are the best dressed. Married man who will get .Easter dressmaking bills in a few days will agree with him. CHICAGO paper mentions about a policeman in that city as being the official art censor. Art is evidently in an arrested state of development In the Windy City. STEEL corporation last year had gross earnings of $117,926,462. Broth er Elbert H. Gary should worry about the business outlook. AS to newspaper accuracy ,we may mention that yesterday' s Examiner stated that the king of Greece had the bulk of his fortune invested at home. The Tribune recorded that it was In vested in Denmark, while The RecordHerald informed us that It was planted in America. A CANDIDATE for a political office who promises to give a business ad nilnstraton usually gves anythng but that. -KNIFE RESTORES LOST INTELLECT." Daily News' bulletin. Where can you buy these knives and can a bull mooe ciub get them any cheaper If they are bought by the gross? THE fellow who shouts the loudest for civic pride and this city beautiful stuff is usually the last one to shovel the snow off of his sidewalk. "JURY TRIAL FOR NUDE MAIDEN." Record-Herald headline. Up to the hour of going to press none who had been summoned for jury, survive In this case had asked the judge to be excused on the grounds of being busy. DESPITE the fact that the law requires that the secretary of state's signature be appended to all proclamations issued by the president there'll be some folks mean enough to say that Wlllum's'signature right after Woodrow's on the call for an extra session of congress means that the peerless one gave his consent to the call. J I ST SO SHE DOESJiT ISK PEROXIDE. (From Laury Jeen Libbey.) When a man is sincerely In love he ceases" to consider beauty of face or complexion. It matters not to him whether she is fair or dark, as long as they adore each other. It is true that people of opposite complexions wed and have a blissfully harmonious life of it. . "WHO MAKES WAR?" London Times' headline. In these parts the Hon. Tom Knotts manages to be in a continual state ot. turbuleney.

slves will have tickets In the field. andhours a day and at the same time say

the fight already . promises to be onejthat women should work more tnan

that will attract state wide attention, The Democratic organisation Is again In the hands of the old time Taggart machine. It has elected the city chairman and other officers, and It has also brought out Joseph E. Bell, a local attorney who has always been the right hand man of Taggart In the local political field as Ha candidate for the nomination for mayor. Bell is the Indianapolis attorney for Crawford Fairbanks, the Terre Haute, brewer, whose Terre Haute - boss Don Roberts, was walloped last Friday In his fight for control of the Terre Haute organization. Roberts is the Fairbanks candi date for mayor Terre Haute. But so many of the old Taggart henchmen have turned against Bell that it la doubtful if he can be nom inated, although Taggart already has been at . work trying to line up the forces, for Bell. It is said that Taggart met with such poor success in his efforts In Bell's behalf that he decided a tew days ago to go to French Lick and stay there until the local situation clears 'up a bit. There Is some talk of the opposition getting behind Adolph Seidenstlcker or! Fred A. Hoke against Bell. Hoke !s a live wire and was president of the Indiana Democratic Club. Seidenstlcker Is a lawyer, served as a member of the House of Representatives two and four years ago, and is a liberal In his views. He was one of the strong Marshall men here, as also was Hoke. John J. Keegan, the unipn labor leader who was a member of the House at the last session of the Legislature, has announced himself as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for mayor. He is the man that tendered Britain. 1S91 Lawrence Barrett, celebrated actor, died in New York City. Borri in Faterson, N.

SESSION.

-r - T (X hls resignation as a member of the House because the House refused to pas his bill to establish an eight hour work day for women-and who said ha would as soon "sit In a colony of lepers as in a Legislature that would refuse to allow men to work more than eight eight hours a day. Keegan is bound to gather support, though he may not get enough to capture the nomination. He will be strong with labor. Among the Republicans the only name mentioned thus far is that of Charles A. Bookwalter, former mayor? There Is a strong effort on foot to bring him out for the place. However, the old city administration machine has again captured the Republican city organization, and this has made It next to impossible for the Republicans even to hope for success. Some, months ago a movement started here in the form of a new organization called the Republican Union, the purpose of which

was said to be to reach out and brinK." I

ject new blood Into the :lergjrtniatron. It was understood that the old crowd was willing to step aside and let new hands take hold, but when the reorganization was made the other night th old crowd stepped in' and took charge and re-elected the same old city chairman and other officers and refus ed to allow anyone else to have anything to say about it. This has put a crimp in any hope that the Republicans may have had of reforming the party here, and the belief now is that the Republican ticket will run far behind this year. The Bull Moosers have organized their city committee and' they are planning to nominate a full city ticket. It is admitted here that if they make the right kind of nominations they will be an Important factor in the election. No candidate have appeared for their nomination for mayor, butit expected that plenty of them will show up at the right time.
