DONEGAN. f , IT CERTAINLY IS. Montclalr, N. J., Is shocked at dls covery that a large number of res! dents Indulge In the secret vice of beer drinking. This Is distressing and also deadly. Only way to drink beer is in large parties with one foot on a chair, between copious draughts waving a big stein around your head and yelling "Hoch-" as tho Saenger bund Fidelia sings "Er 1st Ein Musikaner" or some other soul stirring ditty. We thoroughly agree with Mont clair that secret beer drinking is a terrible vice. PITTS MAY DEFINE DOGMA.' Lnusual credence in Rome has been given to a report circulating in the city to the effect that Pope Pius is taking steps for the proclamation, as a part of the fundamental dogma of the Catholic church,- of the doctrine of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. The feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Is set down in the Catholic calendar of es tablished feast days for August 15, and it is hinted that his Holiness may make his proclamation tomor row. Should he succeed in carrying out his present desire, it will be tho first time a dogma has been proclaim ed by a pope since 1870, the last time previous to that being In 1854. It is now known that since his recent illness Pope Plus, realizing that his active pontificate Is practically at an end, has expressed the desire to some of the highest dignitaries of the Catholic church at Rome to round out his career by this last great act. During his entire pontificate Pope Plus JC. has devoted practically his entire time, effort and energy to the building up of the religious side of the church only, paying little, if any, attention to the political side, which had been the sole concern of his pre decessor, XIII. The proclamation of this new dogma by him now, as the last great act of his pontificate, would be in perfect harmony, he is said to feel, with all that he has sought to accom plish up to date. It would stamp his entire pontificate as one esentially and wholly religious. IS AN ERA OF RAILROAD EXPAN SION DUE? In a current periodical of this week Alba B. Johnson, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, makes an interesting contention. His plea is that the railroads of the country be allowed to raise their rates. If there is to be any objection to a raise in rates, Mr. Johnson correctly surmises that the objection will come because there is a prevalent notion that the raise, if allowed, would go to pay returns on watered stock. Accordingly, his contention is addressed almost wholly to an attempt at showing that American railroads, in general, are not over capitalized. In this attempt it may be at least conceded that Mr. Johnson makes a good showing. True, the instance was recently cited In these columns of the waste of $25,000,000 by the New York, New Haven and Harttord road, which waste has . been charged to

Atlanta Journal. capital, and on which the read is ex pected to earn a return; but, while there are instances of this kind, nev ertheless, the general public seems to be coming more and more to the at titude that among our great enter prises, our railroads, as a whole, are pretty well managed says the Lafay ette Courier. The complaint of the American public has never been particularly addressed to the point of exorbitant freight rates. Freight rates are low, and are so admitted; but the contention has been, where fault Is found, that the railroads have been discrim inatory. This contention has been true; but rate discrimination is a matter now pretty generally obviated. With rate discrimination eliminated, and with a reasonable showing that a slight Increase is necessary. the public will doubtless not object. When the president of a great lo comotive works asks for an increase In railroad rates, one Is quite Inclined to discount his contention because of private interest. But as already suggested in these columns, private Interest and public Interest need not necessarily run in opposite directions. It is conceivable that the railroads do need more locomotives and more rolling stock in general. Mr. Johnson points out that, after agriculture, railroading Is the greatest industry in the country and that money spent in providing for its- needs is bound to have a simulating effect on business the country over. As already contended a number of times In these columns, wheu a given Industry fails to pay an attractive return on . the capital invested, that capital will go elsewhere if it can. Surely, when capital invested fails to get an attractive return, fresh capital, of a certainty, will not be attracted. This seems to be the case just now In American railroading. W'hile the roads are nearly holding their own on the present basis, nevertheless, there has been no particular railroad advance in some years. Railroading is just now in a state where it is not attracting the capital road managers profess to need. With increase In rtaes permitted. It Is quite possible that we should see a new era of railroad expansion which would stimulate business in general the country over. PINNEY ONCE MORE. Dispatches from London tell us that Dorothy Earle, third wife and affinity of Frederick Pinney Earle, artist and poet, is planning to seek a separation. Mrs. Earle, whom the artist described as "the dearest, sweetest and loveliest of them all," herself made the announcement. She said she had actually s begun suit In New York, alleging evidence which she says she has obtained against Earle since they parted last March. He is on the continent. We suppose there is some use for every creature given life by the Almighty but we never could be quite satisfied what mosquitoes, snakes and Pinney Earles were for. THE BULL MOOSE SITUATION. In various statements that have appeared with authority from the progressive headquarters in Hammond the impression has been given out that the party as a party proposes to foster a citizens' movement to defeat the democratls nominees. The party apparently is ready for a fusion, provided the fusion can be carried out under its banner. It Invites candidates from all political creeds to come foreward to receive the tap of knighthood and It endorsement. Let us for a moment believe that such a proposition came from any of the Other political camps, from

the republican party, from the socialists or the prohibitionists. Let

us suppose that they proposed to put a non-partisan ticket in the field "Under Our Auspices" would the progressives then admit that partyIsm has been eliminated? If the majority of the voters are to be enrolled In a non-partisan citizens movement, all vestiges of partyism must be erased. In the abstract the idea of tho progressives is alright, but the leaders In the movement forget that they have to deal with voters who are human, whose biggest fault may prove to be, when partylsm is an is sue, that they are as loyal to the name of their party as the progres sives are to theirs. HOW ABOUT IT! I 4, Yes it Is true, we might get up a guessing contest on the chance a straight republican candidate for Mayor would have in Hammond with two other tickets in the field. Send In your answers. The reply "The age of miracles has passed" Is barred And congratulations with "Drink hearty' 'in a loud voice and "I hope you choke" sotto voce would be fly ing around in no time. 0 PEARL OF WISDOM! It always seems the misfortune of the democratic party after feeding on husks for a number of years, when the diet changes and it gets into power once more to have foisted on it a lot of long-haired freaks who bring the party into ridicule and make a laughing stock of it. Among this number is one Ham J Lewis or J. Ham Lewis or something of that sort from Illinois who was made U. S. Senator from Illinois. We have no doubt but what Ham J. or J. Ham, Is a nice enough sort of a fellow and bright as a new coined buffalo nickel but he is forever shooting off his mouth and causing the country at large to giggle at his antics. As fast as the public forgets something foolish he has said or done, Ham J. or J. Ham is ready with another. Recently he made one of his flowery red-whiskered speeches in which he voiced the sage and wonderful truism that "the maternal instinct In woman is stronger than it Is In man." Imagine a United States senator making such a statement! .Why do. the democrats send men to the senate just because they hide a big mouth behind a set of red whiskerettes? And why doesn't Ham J. or J. Ham, sometimes tell us that 2 plus 3 equal 5? A USELESS CURFEW LAW. "Is there a curfew law In Hammond," parents are asking, "or are we laboring under a delusion?" That children are allowed to play on the streets without restraint at all hours, that young girls have the liberty to commune clandestinely with youths till late at night and that no effort is made to compel them to go home are facts incorporated in the complaints of Hammond mothers and fathers. Central a kesrePmtsbo Central Park seems to be the mecca for silly girls and wayward youths who spoil the evenings for their elder6 that go there in search of relief from tha heat. Many a well behaved couple is shamed away from the benches by maudlin songs. Women on Michigan avenue, have made complaints against the non-enforcement of the curfew law. They tell of young and giddy girls who make Central Park their rendezvous late at night and sing disgusting songs. They declare the conditions shocking. Central Park, It will be remembered, is directly opposite the Hammond police station. VOICE OF PEE O PlTe NOTICE.

He Is logically correct In his position. If he Is not President de facto of Mexico, he Is only a private cttlxen. unempowered to make treaties, and Mexico has no President. The mediation proposition of President Wilson places Huerta, and Carransa, and Orozco, and Zapata, and others leaders of clans all on a level as bandits and is an insult to the Chief Executive of Mexico, who, however, he became such, is in possession of the capital and the treasury, and is recognUed by the army, the navy, the Congress and the Courts. President Wilson places his refusal as President of the United States to recognise Huerta on the ground that he will never recognise a government founded on murder. Who made him a Judge to determine whether Huerta's government was "founded on murder?" The. great powers of Europe have recognized Huerta as President. Under the law of nations they could not do otherwise, for it is an elementary and undisputed J doctrine of I International law that ai government de facto must be recognljed, matter how It got there.
