WHAT LAKE COUNTY WANTS. Lake county is vitally Interested In what the legislature, which convenes at Indianapolis next month, intends doing. All legislation for the betterment of highways, Improvement of the condition of health and progressive measures for the general welfare are to the interest of this county, while the petty, pernicious little things that former legislatures have toyed with are harmful because of the waste of time and money and the crowding out of more Important matters, if for no other reasons. There are two pieces of legislation which Lake county is so vastly concerned with that all others appear small in comparison. The first of ther needed laws Is an enabling act to give cities of the county or state the l ight to create sinking fund3 to defray the municipality's share of track elevation. This Is a great crying need in Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago, where Wockaes of traffic due to lack of track elevation cost dearly every day and not only delay "commerce hut threaten to lessen the growth of the district la 1913 the state legislature fixed the division of cost of elevation by specifying what portion the steam railroads should pay and how the cities and street railways should share the expense of street and track intersections. The cities are to pay twenty-five per cent of the -cost of elevation over a street. There was no provision, however, as to how the cities could get the twenty-five per cent. Without an enabling act to create a special levy and sinking fund the cities of Lake county are as far from track elevation toda; as they were the day the railroads were built. Under the present system of - limited indebtedness it simply can not be done without the enabling act. The other importantly needed act is the creation of a state highway commission In order that Indiana may get her share of the money appropriated by the federal government for highways. With her share of the national fund this state could construct highways east and west, north and south across the commonwealth, of such stability that in time of war heavy army trucks could progress satisfactorily. The coming legislature will also do well to stick a long pointed dagger in the back of the school book trust. This murder will be entirely justified. The trust has been putting through an entire change of school hooks every now and then until the public is thoroughly outraged. As a matter of fact, the latest text hooks of the trnst are no better than the standard text books of twenty-five years ago, except in one or two subjects, perhaps. This changing text books every year or so is costing the people millions and is one of the biggest crimes ever perpetrated in the state.

TABLE LEG LAND. How thoughtless some parents are, and a great many could be included in the "some," is strikingly brought out in an editorial in the Indianapolis Times, which reads as follows: "Christmas is a memorable occasion to the small boy for another reason than Its stuffing opportunities. It'9 about the only day in the year when he doesn't hear, over and over all day long, a prosy and meticulous sermon about as follows: 'Don't do that; keep your hands off of this! Wipe your feet before yon come in! IIow did you get your face so dirty? Keep your clothes clean! Can't you ever learn to brush your hair? Get up off the floor and quit wearing holes in your stockings! Sit up straight! Wait till things ait passed to you.' "Only a hard-hearted parent could 'keep that up' in an atmosphere of Christmas cheer. So the small boy gets a little more liberty Christmas than at other times. No doubt, if he could analyze his own wishes in the matter h would like to see the 'spirit ot Christmas, at least, last over until about the twenty-fifth of the following December. "A child has rights even a parent ought to be compelled to respect

That's a difficult lesson for parents to learn. A child's right to use the things j

In his own home ought to be just as indisputable as that of an adult. Unfortunately for his own liberty, the child never learns his rights until he acquires adult righta. His only protest is to go on a 'mad spell' occasionally. In which condition a boy needs handling with gloves. "Until a child is seven or eight years old his world is constructed from the material on a level with his eyes. The flowers on the carpet,. the upholstery tacks on the chairs, the carved legs of tables are his close, silent and treasured companions: 'So adult ever can enter that world. You thinl the scratches your boy puts on the furniture are blemishes. They are no They are rich adornments. Twenty years hence you will realize that. Givf the hoy and girl room. Respect their rights and they will respect, you rights."

POOR GOVERNMENTAL MANAGEMENT. Des Moines, Dec. 26. The report of George Gallarno, head of the state municipal accounting department,' issued tonight, showed that S68 towns and cities in Iowa were operating at a loss. There are evidences of loose governmental management at every turn We would like to see a report on Indiana municipalities. It seems that Inancial efficiency is desirable only in business corpora tions. Yet a county, state or municipality is a vast business corporation, al though many people do not regard it in such a light. A shining example of municipal business management is to be had in Chicago, where the treasury deficit may result in shutting off the electriclights and cutting down the police and fire departments.
