PEOPLE AEE WITH THE TIMES To the administration organ of Hammond there must be something even more, sacred about the filthy water furnished the taxpayers of Hammond, than there is about the sacred bull of India. It passes all comprehension except that the truth hurts. Whenever this newspaper as a matter of either news or editorial comment mentions the germ-laden water supply or the patchwork water works, the democratic organ gets up on its hind legs and calls .us all the names in the dictionary and many that are not. While meteorological sonditions have made the lake water roiley lately, we defy any one to show any drinking water furnished any ;ity between Chicago and Michigan City including them both, that has been in the horribly dirty condition that Hammond has. It has been so dirty that people have refused to even take a bath in it. We have al ways insisted that Hammond's water supply both for quality and quantity was a disgrace to the city and to the administrations which have failed to better the conditions, and forty ad ministration organs can't change tha fact. If the water question was pu to a vote in Hammond, nine-tenths of the people would stand by this paper in its contentions so we are eminently satisfied with that. TROUBLES OF PRINCES. Mayor-elect Johnson of Gary is scheduled to return from his vacation in a day or two. He has about 250 jobs at his disposal. When his honor walks down the street don't mistake the black specks about him for a flock of mosquitoes. Will merely be a sprinkling of hungry job hunters. ,And the fat man in the distance is the Hon. Tom Tom Knotts softly chuckling, "I should worry." YES, WE ARE COSMOPOLITAN. This is the list of unclaimed letters at the Indiana Harbor postoffice: "Antanawlcis, Petre; Baban, Moisa; Bartos, Jozsef; Cesomski, Jan: Kuckzynski, Bronlslaw; Lacko, Joszef; Milhalynak, Farekas; Mysicuky, Mapky; Mebruxy, Mapmuny; Todgarskl, Roman; Szvetor, Dudas; Szezfaniak, Stefan; Sowynsky, Stanislaw; Szupuk, Frupim; Sowinski, Sanisly; Swerzewski, Jan; Tannebaum, Sam; Vasllin, Hencz; Wosyn, Juljan." Should the postmaster-generals of Servla, Russia or Austria run across this item the chances are that each one of them will wonder In what part of their dominion Indiana Harbor is. Hammond Times. Is it any particular wonder that .he northern Indiana neighborhood, nhabited by people with names ab.olutely unpronounceable, should petition the Governor for troops to supreps lawless on election day, when

Abbott. you realize that a large percentage of the inhabitants bear names like, those mentioned above? The wonder is that any letter so addressed should remain in the postoffice up there. It would seem that should Stefan Szezefaniak appear at the general de livery window and waft that name laden with garlic through the portal the clerk would reach up blindly and give him the first letter found on hand with and undeciperable super scription. Any active postoffice clerk ought to easily get rid of a bunch of mail like that, even though but one of the Servian.-i ,or whatever they may be, called for mail. Columbus Republican. NO BOSS! From the Argentine ripples the argentine voice of the Colonel, uttering his good old warnings against the boss, the driver. From Pittsburgh speeds the report that the Hon. J. Denny O'Neil, a reformed Penrose man, has been selected by the Hon. William Flinn to be the Progressive candidate for United States Senator against Penrose. The Hon. William Flinn is not a boss or a driver. He is a statesman of experience and judgment, with a liberal, an angel, treasury department. IJut must a darkened world believe that the Hon. William Flinn is work ing against the conservation of the Hon. Gifford Pinehot? New York Sun. CONTRACTOR SECRETS, LIKE MURDER, WILL OUT. The collapse of one of the big political contractors of New York while on the witness stand was a pathetic spectacle. It meant the confession of certain things that were supposed to be forever and safely hidden It was another illustration of the fact that nothing is really secret. The old phrases and the old gospel and the old truths are forever new, and if men think they can do tricky things in business, in politics, or in any other avenue of human endeavor and escape the penalty they make a woeful mistake. In come cities and States we have a regime of' contractor government. There will be the usual efforts at se-

j son out again and he hag gone to parts unknown. TO all intents and purposes Doc Gilson is going his best to have Hammond get a population of 50.000 by 1915. GOVERNMENT is trying to make postoffice serve "the people. What with mail carriers carrying parcel post bricks and the postmasters being obliged to lick stamps the people are certainly getting service. rRESDENT Huerta Is said to get his courage from the excellent supply of champagne in the cellars of the Mextcon white house. Perhaps President Wilson is waiting because lie knows that the supply is running low. NEWLY-elected mayor of New York has learned how to box. Don't know, however, whether eeven this will keep off the job hunters. t". S. senate has ordered college president's speech to be printed in the Congressional Record. I,f the senate puts some of Battleave Castleman exudations in the dry and musty Record now and then it would present a sprightly appearance. IN suggesting that Justice Hughes resign to run for the presidency on a republican-bull moose ticket it may be stated that this is one form of the recall of judges that T. It. won't favor. cret understandings with undue profits and all the wrongs that go with hidden work. For a time the participants may prosper. They may add thousands and even millions to their bank' accounts. They may buy beautiful residences In the city and go in for country places or palatial cottages in the mountains or at the seashore. They may do Europe or tour the world. They may realize the temporary profits of their ingenuities. But somehow, in some way, it will all come out in the end, and they will wish they had not done it. The above editorial is from the Phildalephia Public Ledger. We respectfully refer It to the attention of the public contracting gang at Gary. MR. M'ALEER NOT THERE. A Gary newspaper the other day in a news squib told about" Tom Knotts' trip to Indianapolis and said that he was accompanied by Lawyer McAleer of Hammond. As a matter of fact, Mr. McAleer did not accom pany Mr. Knotts to Indianapolis. He was not in Indianapolis at all, but has been trying cases in the Lake superior court all week. Otherwise the squib was all right even if there was no truth in it. THEIR NARROW ESCAPE. Passengers among whom were Mr and Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt took an interest in two American girls, one nineteen and the other seventeen, who were on board the steamship go ing alone to Brazil. It developed they were vaudeville performers consigned to a place of amusement they knew nothing about An American merchant who was on board said that the music hall In Rio Janeiro was not a fit place for them to go to, and advised that it would be better for them to return home on the next steamer leaving Rio Janeiro for New York. This was arranged for after much trouble and an appeal to the United States Consul at Rio, the music hall proprietor trying to detain the girls This looks like a case in which societies and "individuals interested in the protection of girls and women might do some investigating. THE TREND. The recent elections, like all of those since that of November, 1912, show unmistakably that the republican party is not going to be swept oft tne political map any more than the democratic party - was wiped out by the great wave of populism 20 years ago. There is every evidence that the republican party has the virility to survive defeat and internal dissension just as the democratic party has done most of the time since the civil war. In November, 1912, the republi cans finished a poor third. In ev.ery contest at the polls since then with very few exceptions they have been second. The one important exception is Massachusetts. Hut take New Jersey. The republican candidate for governor ran second, while Colby, the progressive, is reported to be a poor third. In New York the republicans regain the control of the lower branch of the legislature, having a majority over the combined forces of the democrats and progressives. These results following those of a few months ago in Michigan. Chicago, St. Louis and other places are ample evi-

THE TIMES. dence that the party of Lincoln is to continue for an indefinite time as a strong iifluence in the development of the nation. How soon it will again be the controlling influence depends

on three, things, the willingness of the leaders to agree on progressive policies such as will appeal to thosq thousands of sincere men who left the party last year but would like to return, the abandonment of all recrimination and the conciliation, and, third, the time when (he people shall have become dissatisfied with the pro gram of the party in power. Crawfordsville, Ind., Journal. WOULDN'T THEY ? Get out your cojiva. You don't know what a cojiva is? Well it is a Peruvian overcoat and it looks like a kimono. It is ten to one that some of our best shops around here will be be seiged by the lads who want some thing a little different and will ask to look at some cojivas. They'd wear anything as long as it was stylish. SAME OLD THING. A young English army officer, hav ing succumbed to jungle fever while hunting In ' Malabar, was buried there, and anually loyal natives jour ney to his resting place and there de posit a bottle of whiskey, two bottles of soda water and a paper of cheroots It is ever thus. We never get flowers or anything like that while we can appreciate them. We are in the office most of the time should any one desire to make any deposits. NAILING TAMMANY TO CROSS. Mayor-elect John Purroy Mitchell says that one of the first things he is going to set his shoulder to is the political death of Charles F. Murphy and the rout of Tammany Hall as it i3 at present constituted. Four years ago the hope of Tam many was William J. Gaynor, and the mayor proved that it had a very flimsy foundation. In some of the first appointments that Mr. Gaynor made the interests of the organiza tion were furthered, but as his ad ministration wore on he was inclined more and more to name men who had nothing whatever to do with Tarn many Hall. Some of them were its avowed enemies. But Tammany for the last two years has had the rich pickings o the sheriff's office in King's county, a job which pays to the sheriff in fees and incdental charges something like $65,000 a year, besides a vast amoun of Incidental patronage. OUR OWN ANTIQUITIES. Mike, a 48-year-old Tennessee mule, has just died at Springfield. Greenburg, Ind., has a bearing apple tree that was planted in 1823. Monmouth, Ore., has just cut down a white oak tree shown by its rings to be 236 years old. Next! InterOcta r Well, we have the Hon. Tom Knotts, burgomaster of Gary since the aborigines roamed around in the sand dunes. There is the retiring mayor of Lafayette, the Hon. Georg Durgan, who has presided over th destinies of that fair Queen metrop olis of the Tippecanoe corn fields as long as the present generation can remember. Then, last but not least there is the Hon. Lem Darrow, mayor of Laporte since '63 or maybe some years later. But like the Tennessee mule, the Greenburg aj)ple tree and the fallen white oak of Monmouth these once impregnable political landmarks are also passing. After th first Monday in January they will be among the cut timber, the sered leaves, the vanishing log cabins. VOICE OR P E O R L, E TH H SEX PROBLEM NOVEL DISdSSED East Chicago, Ind., Nov. 13. Editor Times: There are so many moral issues which demand defense from the assaults of the unthinking or narrowminded, that one hardly knows where to begin. Of most recent origin, however, is the action of the Chicago Woman's club, who in solemn assembly have denounced the authors of so-called sex problem novel3 as pandering to cheap sensationalism. Little do these women understand the issue at stake; if they did they would modify their views. Each and every author whom they have condemned as a sensationalist (of some of them I speak from personal knowledge has at heart the defense of womanhood. He or she in broader visions has realized the horrible disadvantages to the human race, and to the woman in particular, of the present double standard of morality; the disease and deAth which are the consequence of it, to say nothing of the shame and anguish and moral degradation involved. The novels which were mentioned have been written with a view to opening the eyes of the world to a state of filth which the sunlight and oxygen of public opinion should quickly dissipate.

Nevertheless, in thus advertising problem novels and in re- , fusing them admission to library shelves the question is receiving auto matically more publicity. And let us have more publicity by all means. Newspapers and books are our chief friends. Was not the invention of the printing press responsible for the Rreat religious reformation in Europe, and are not the newspapers of today the means of pushing through much needed reform measures, to the joy of all right-thinking people? How can the public stand up and demand reform if they are ignorant of the conditions requiring it? Throughout the length and breadth of the land can we not expect our young men and our young women to be an equally pure and wholesome factor in setting up their little household and in bringing into the world their little family.
