Hammond Cotnmandery No. 41, K. T. Special meeting Monday. December 22, Red Cross work. Visiting Sir Knights welcome. THE PATTERSON FIASCO. Tbat the people responsible for the starting of impeachment proceedings against James A. PatteraoTi prosecutor for the Thirty-first Indiana judicial district were shooting up la the sir was shown conclusively last Saturday when Judge Greenlee of Gary
sustained the defense's demurrer and) practically tossed the case out of the; circuit court at Crown Point. The; prediction made by this paper over a week ago cam true. The supreme court is the place where judicial questions of this nature are thrashed out. In the meantime a stigma has been put on Mr. Patterson. No specific charges have been made against him, but he has been made the target for volleys of mud. We are not passing upon the sincerity of those responsible for these accusations; we are not passing upon the guilt or innocence of Mr. Patterson, but it is to be deplored that a public ofTIcer should be made the victim of muck-raking and mud-slinging.

Letters To Santa Claus
THE W00D-KAY JOKE.
Shakespeare s "Much Ado About Nothing" was never more aptly illustrated than in the Kate .Wood Ray case. Such fiascos do more to hurt
the suffragette cause than anything else. In the first place, with a great
flare and fanfare It was announced
that Kate Wood Ray weighing 95
pounds was going to run Gary's police and fire departments. Her picture adorned the metropolitan
press as much as Lydia E. Pinkham's
once did. . She was Interviewed and
she was Interviewed. Hundreds of
columns of free advertising were
given her. She told us what she was going to do and what she was not going to do ad lib and ad nauseam. Everyone who knew anything knew that she would not be appointed and
could not be appointed. Then of
course it all leaked out that she
couldn t be appointed because she was not a citizen. At the same time
Mrs. Kate Wood Ray has not ceased
telling the people all over the country what Bhe would and what she
would not have done HAD she been
appointed.
BENEFIT TO FARMER. The American Telephone and Tele
graph company's company, common
ly known as the telegraph trust, has submitted a plan of voluntary dissolution to the department of Justice.
It is quite likely that the plan will be approved.
Contained in its provisions are
clauses that are of vital importance to farming communities, especially where mutual line sare in operation.
These stipulate that the telephone
company wll lno longer refuse long
distance connections to its smaller rivals. This will mean much and no
one can appreciate it better tnan
those who have lived on the farm or
in the smaller communities of Lake
county. There are hundreds of
places in this country where local
mutual lines are in operation; but
they are of but little value to the
outside world because of the lack of
connections with the big trunk lines.
Happily, this source of inconvenience
is now about to be removed.

EUGENICS.
The eugenics craze which is
sweeping this country is frowned on
by Bird S. Coler formerly controller
of New York City who in an address
in Chicago the other night said:
"If the policy of teaching eugenics
to children in the public school is persisted in, the race will die out in
150 years. What are you going to
do about the children whose minds are filled with the false science of a
bankrupt materialism?" asked the
speaker. "What of the foulness that
fills our theaters and impels those incomprehensible products of a sick sentimentalism, the sex hygienics, to put matter in the hands of children which the government bans from the mails?" Mr. Coler said he based his assertion regarding a dead race in 150 years on birth rate statistics of a college for women, where rugenica and sex hygiene have been taught for many years.
