DRIVES AT W EWSPAPERS. Papers like THE Tl.MES that believe in giving everybody a chance to

j,ti a nearmg. are to oe penalized by

ure, now pending there, is passed. As the Baltimore American says so pertinently: "There is a certain order of intelligence that compliments itself by the belief that it has done something of superior brilliance when it takes a crack at newspapers. If the motive can be hidden behind some pretentious ethical aim. the acuteness is the more pleasing. 'Pillory the papers" is the slogan of this class of annoying lilliputians. They have neither the faculty

for fairness nor the ability to distinguish niischieveous prosperity. They oftimes

cause they do not know enough to realize that the object of their derision wears the badge of respectability with which they can never adorn themselves. "ONE OF THE LATEST OP THE DRIVES AT NEWSPAPERS COVERS ITSELF WITH THE MANTLE OF PROHIBITION A VERY WORTHY MANTLE IN THE ESTIMATION OF VERY MANY PEOPLE, AND AN UNWORTHY ONE IN THE ESTIMATION OF OTHERS. "But that is neither here nor there in the matter in point, which is the bill introduced into the House of Representatives and that has been committed to the committee of postoffice aud postroads. The intent of the bill i to penalize newspapers that carry liquor advertisements into dry territory. The persons backing this measure have passed over the virtue of the old warning against swapping the devil for a witch. They do not appreciate the fact that the constitution of the United States strictly prohibits the passage of a law that would curtail the freedom of the press. Here ia a superior prohibition that these pin-heads would set aside, in order to carry into effect their drive against newspapers upon alleged moral grounds. Let one hold to such views as he may as to the morality of newspapers printing liquor advertisements. The one who so thinks is in the company of those who hold that theaters are highly objectionable and their advertisements should be surpressed, that dancing is highly objectionable and all advertisements of such should be suppressed. A thousand and one things representing differences of opinion could as properly be prohibited from finding place in the advertising Fpace of the newspapers. "The bill in question in effect forbids the use of the mails to newspipers that carry liquor advertisements the responsible conductor of the newspaper being made liable to fine or imprisonment or both. The framers of this precious piece of legislation do not seem to appreciate the fact that once the entering wedge of interference with the freedom of the press is used there would follow further interferences in the sphere of freedom of conscience and freedom of political expression and classes of business advertisement other than that of liquor. "THE BILL HITS NOT AT THE BREWERS OR THE PURVEYORS

OF LIQUOR, BIT AT THE NEWSPAPERS. ITS APPARENT DESIGN IS TO LIMIT DEBATE UPON THE VIRTUES OF PROHIBITION. The spons-' ors for the bill must hold that the liquor advertisements have -weight against' thejr propagandas, else why the legislation? Of cour?p, the avowed pur-! poses do not'eover settled animus against the agencies of Intelligence. There, ;ire many who hold this feeling toward the newspapers because they have

thrown the light upon acts or the records of this, that or the other person p.Txl thereby have made enemies in the cause of righteousness by the score. Hence this class of persons hold that If one can brandish a tomahawk over the heads of the newspapers in the glare of congress, at once all the tribes of the offended ones will take up the -war cry and whoop for the bill. Persecution pure and simple, not morality, is the basis of the proposed legislation. The measure carries no ethical implications, for there can be very 1 tile harm done by liquor advertisements in dry territory if the territory is actually dry. "Where prohibition cannot win by open and approved means, the newspapers are to be penalized by such underhand and disingenuous legislation as the proposed bill. It is a wonder that the friends of this legislation have never thought of the boomerang effect of such enterprise. There are multitudes of persons who stand for prohibition who do not. stand for tapping the tills of the newspapers as punishment to them for failing in all instances to support the prohibition propaganda. There are hundreds of persons who would vote for the cause on merit who will be turned away from it if it adopts the proposed tactics.

"THE MEASURE IS CONDEMNED IN CAUSE IT DOES NOT HARM THE ONES FESSEDLY DIRECTED THE BREWER THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS. WHICH

PEOPLE; BECAUSE IT REPRESENTS TACTICS THAT ARE DISCREDITABLE; BECAUSE IT IS A DANGEROUS INNOVATION, AND BECAUSE IT IS INSPIRED BY GENERAL ANIMUS AGAINST NEWSPAPERS. Hence the measure should be and is likely to be killed with credit to congress. Let prohibition win or lose upon legitimate grounds is the view held by the majority of the people."

PROHIBITION IS A SUCCESS. In Kansas there is a dpinand by one of the legislature for the following j laws: ' Doctors who get drunk more than four times a year lose their licenses. No man who has been drunk may run an automobile for 4S hours. Punish as a bootlegger any man found with a gallon of whiskey or a j case of beer in hi possession. ! Prohibition, as we said before, U a great thing.

WHAT HAS HAPPENED

We on't hear as much about military preparedness as we did

or a year aso. Vet thousands of militiamen are still on the Mexican border, doins the work of professional soldiers, and from the latest news it pec-ma possible that they may do some real fighting, before they return to their homes and vocations. A German submarine has been busy at its commerce destroying work within a few miles of our shores. The conduct of the U boat's commander

Was strictlv in accordance with Germany's promises to us but suppose that

he had made a mistake and torpedoed an American coasting steamer? American citizens died when the British steamer Marina was sunk by a submarine off the Irish coast, and the severance of our diplomatic relations with Germany is a possible result. Congress has authorized a largo increase of our naval power, but no adequate increase in our land fighting force has been made. Some day we will wake up to the necessity of real preparedness and universal military training and service but it is likely to be the extremely uncomfortable awakening of the man who jumps out of his warm bed on a winter night because he smells smoke in the room, says a railroad magazine.

mBjHMHMBMajHBV IDandom Things and Flings IT LOOKS like Kngland may have a chance to win the war after all. The British have finally boun to loan money to their government. "DON'T overeat," says heaH'a warnins. There Is no chance to get too much If you patronize some of the restaurants in our town. O.VE Australian city hall has a pipe organ. This Is a good pueirestion for some of our local communities. Such a device could furnish the preliminary entertainment until bohio of the aldermen begin to speak. THAT sounding of the bugles and hurrying and scurrying you hear is the mobilization of Thaw's lawyers. SOMFBODY has been declaring that the army Is being starved. One of the Gary boys furleuehed from the border gained only forty pounds during the past six months. IF PEOrLK prize things that cone high even simpler living ought to be popular now. SPEAKING of national generosity we certainly have done our share toward suffering Europe. Every man, woman and child in America has contributed on an average of eight cents each to the starving Belgians. NATIVES of Indianapolis must get the impression that all the people of Lake county do is to engage In fight? whether courts should be located in Gary, Hammond, East Chicago or Crown Point.
