SULZER'S SHAME. Fair-minded men, no matter what their party inclinations were seemed to be disposed to give Gov. Sulzer of New York the benefit of the doubt when his name was entangled with that of a woman's in the public prints. It savored of persecution and blackmail. Since then however the revelatlona regarding Sulzer have been 'such as to make New York ashamed of him and it looks as if Sulzer is even discredited by his own party the democrats. The New York papers want him to get out and editorialize as follows: World "The best thing Gover- . nor Sulser can do la to resign and spare the state of New York further shame and humiliation. No matter what defense he may offer, his career is ended." Times "The same and disgrace that William Sulzer has brought upon the state of New Tork will end his career and put him out and keep hm out of public life." Herald "There must be no hiding behind technicalities, no equivocation. It will boot the governor nothing to raise tho cry of 'Tammany persecution'." Tribune "If the governor can do so, he must answer now. Sun "Wh-'ever may be Mr. Sulzer-s own policy as to the place and time and method of meeting the ascertained facts in this dreadful business, he would do well to suppress the unintelligent efforts of volunteer defenders." TELEPHONES IN TICKET OFFICES politeness has been the rule in ticket offices from time immemorial It was the rule even in the old days of the brow-beating ticket seller, who abused passengers at will when their conduct did not suit him. The agent's barbarous doings were exceptions. And unfortunately, excep tions are common, even to this day. But with the introduction of the telephone this rule has been made more important and significant says the Railway Age Gazette. In answering questions over the telephone the clerk who is disposed to be ungenerous to passengers has a new and different temptation to indulge his unbusinesslike propensity, and some railroads have issued circulars specifi cally reminding station men that their behavior at the telephone wa.s like to be an important factor in making or marring the reputation of the company. But is there no limit to the de mands on the ticket agent's courtesy? Can people go on asking their idle questions forever? At the ticket window tne stream of Questioners sometimes lets up; and for a part of the time the window can be closed. But with a telephone in the office there is no time limit, and the number of possible questioners Is limited only by the size of the town. Everybody, even ladies in their boudoirs, or the janitor in the back cellar, can ask questions; and at train time, when the agent is busiest, the questions are most numerous. CUMMINS TO FORCE BILL. Senator Cummins, intends forcing hl3 bill aimed an. lobbyists through the upper house a.t the earliest possible convenience, despite the fact that legislators are now most deeply in-

The Cummins' measure provides for the punishment of any person who Impersonates a member or employee of congress or an officer of the United States. Another section of the bill im noses Imprisonment and fine as penalties on any person who repre sents that he has brought to bear other than proper influence on any member or employee of Congress or officer of the United States; imprisonment to be for not more than three years and the fine not more than $5,000. A third section makes it a felony, punishable for imprisonment for not more than ten years and a fine of not more than $10,000, for bringing to bear Improper influence on a member of Congress. The bill, or legislation similar to it. is expected to pass. It ought to pass. SJrUT IN MAGAZINES. What's come over the magazines? Many of the higher-grade publica tions are now devoting a big portion of their space to the exploitation of smut in the form of fiction and special feature articles. . Some time ago Hearst's Cosmopolitan magazine led the way when it began to play up sex stuff. Then came the purchase by Hearst of the World Today, which became known as Hearst's Magazine. Now that publication is outdoing even the Cosmopolitan in the publication of nauseating matter. As an Indication of the kind of stuff that these Hearst magazines are handling, a recent number of Hearst's contained a story detailing the experiences of a young girl who was lured into a house of shame. She finally prevails upon the slight remaining spark of manhood in the first man that comes to her to get her away irom tna place. In publishing this story this magazine, however, was simply following In the footsteps of more illustrious company. McClure's Magazine was the first to publish a story with such a theme. This was "My Little Sister," which ran through two numbers. Recently Collier's Weekly, which .has become very medlcore since Norman Hapgood was fired aa editor-in-chief, published an article about a baby brought up in a house or ename. ine Baoys sur roundings are described with great fidelity. The excuse for the publi cation of this article was that a baby Instinctively and always looks for the good in everything! Imagine a two-year-old child instinctively look ing for the good in a brothel! Such stuff is simply unmitigated rot. At the present time Leslie's Weekly Is publishing a serial entitled "For the Sake of Her Soul," by Reginald Wright Kauffman, which in great detail tells of the struggles of a pure girl who is lured into bawdy houses and disreputable cafes. Not only these publications, but the celestial Saturday Evening Post, brother of the saintly Ladies' Home Journal, has been, tainted. Afew weeks ago the Saturday Evening Post published a story telling how a father induced his daughter to reconsider her determination not to marry a man whom she found had been smirched by a disgraceful affair with another woman. The father prevailed upon his daughter to finally marry this fellow by telling her that he himself, before' hi3 marriage with her mother, had been guilty of a liaison with a married woman! What is the reason for this change in the magazines from the publication of wholesome stories and articles to the publication of such noxious matter as this? The most evident cause, of course, is that the magazines think that it pays. They believe that the vast reading public likes this klad of stuff, but they forget that thei'e is bound to be a reaction. The Vast majority of Americans are ntt

prurient-minded. Another reason is

that many of the people who are writing this material are the old muckrakers, the authors who form erly told of the terrible doings of grafters everywhere. Finding that the public is sickened of ordinary muckraking, they have turned their attention to this still more despica ble form of money-making. Another reason is that the daily newspapers have recently been making such big Inroads into the circulation and ad vertising departments of the magazines that the latter have been simply forced to do something sensational to retain their waning hold on the attention of the public. But while the present exploitation of smut may Berve to bolster up dropping circu lations for a' time, it is bound to act as a boomerang in the end. Fort Wayne News. A CRYING SHAME. Sallna's Commercial Club has a new motto, "Make every stack belch smoke." Industry is all right, but why. In this age of smoke consumers, insist on soot and grime? Also, if there is to be smoke, -why not let It pour out quietly instead of belching? Kansas City Star. Yes this belching business Is all right as leng as it isn't carried too far. There is the Globe Station rendering factory southwest of Ham mond which belches the most fright ful ouor tnat ever entered man s nostrils almost twenty-four hours in the day. They ought to "put the bee" on the belchers. STATE FOOD INSPECTION. State pure food inspectors have just concluded another visit to the Calumet region cities and have left turmoil and gnashing of teeth in their wake. It is to be doubted whether these periodic visits do the good they might if results were gone after in a different way. The effectiveness of rushing into the public prints on the part of Inspector Tucker is questionable. To denounce offenders by proclaiming them from the housetops isn't the best way of getting results. Tucker was strong in his denunciation of certain business places yet we fail to find where any arrests were made. If the conditions were such a menace to the public why were the offenders not arrested? If ,they were not a menace, why wouldn't a strict and forcible warning do just as much good. Comparisons are odious at best and it is known that there are uncleaii business places in the Calumet region that the state Inspectors never have denounced openly. Why single some out and let others go? RECALLS A STORY. A good deal cf the comment on women's costumes recalls a story told of Henry Ward Beecher. The great preacher was gazing at a nude statue in a Boston art gallery. A lady stepped to his side, and said: "Oh Mr. Beecher, isn't that statue positively indecent." "No," replied Mr. Beecher. "But that remark was." THE HOURS THAT GIRLS WORK. Life for girls who work long hour3 in stores Is by no means a bed of roses as we all know. These .hours according to an exchange, while. perhaps somewhat unfortunately, not a question for the public service commission, is one that is of quite as much importance as any that may come before that body. Josephine Goldmark, of New York, who has quite thoroughly canvassed the subject of female employment, notes that while it Is true that girls in department stores are not subjected to the speed, monotony and complexity of machinery, the girl behind the counter may 6uffer greatly from constant standing, especially during a rush season.' She notes that many girls have broken foot arches and varicose veins ;that there is a great nervous strain in being always on one's good behavior and in adapting one's self to the varying whims and tastes of customers. Female clerks in these stores should have an opportunity to seat themselves during the intervals when not actually engaged In waiting upon patrons. BRYAN ET AL. From 1853 to 1911 the salary of the Secretary of tSate was ?S,000 per annum, during which period the office was occupied by such eminent statesmen as William H. Seward, James G. Blaine, Thomas F. Bayard, Walter Q. Gresham, Richard Olney, John Sherman, John Hay and Elihu Root. Looking over that list the name of William J. Bryan really doesn't seem to figure as being worth fifty per cent more for about half time and we will leave it to you whether democrat or republican if Mr. Bryan is any greater or more of . a man than some of. those named above.

SUCH of Uncle Sam's soldiers and , sailors, who are worrying for fear that they may be called to face Mexican bullets, should be glad that they aren't on the London police force dealing with militant suffragettes. ANOTHER t' peace pact has been signed in the Balkans. Signing peace pacts one day and then tearing them up the next day seems to be a favorite pastime In southeastern Europe. LIQUOR drinking, says Lillian Russell, robs women of their beauty.

As Gary usually has everything that a town can catch great wonder that she wasn't afflicted thusly long ago. SAID now that it is the Joe Bailey democrats of Texas who want to raise 850,000 bo that Mr. Bryan will have enough to Hvo on. Perhaps the Texans were afraid that Mr. Bryan might do like Mr. Bailey did hook up with the Standard OIL. BUSY DAY IN PLEASURE VALLEY. (From the South Bethlehem Globe.)
