nit themselves to prohibition they should first pause and Ptudy and not act on the fanciful arguments of deluded and uninformed advocates of the cause. Til at excess in drinking is a terrible thins no one disputes, but let no one think that with one flourish of the legislative hand is there to be an Instant remedy for (he drink evil. And just as the Journal points out, prohibition "will bring in its train other evils, surh as a tremendous increase i.i the use of opiates and narcotic drusis." The views of the Journal and Till: TIMES follow many similar paths. Neither advocates the plunsinR into a new regime half-cocked. THE TIMES is committed t temperance and regulation God knows that we need" It! but it repeats its solemn warning that to adopt prohibition in its present status is to inflict a shocking immorality on America. There will be, If prohibton comes before mature reflection, education and the great majority of the people really knowing what its enactment means, the spectacle of unenforced statutes in this country and other chaotic results. It is a question that requires that every American voter perform his duty by deliberately considering it, tor to do otherwise is to shirk and Invites a condition none of us desires to contemplate.

INDIANA NOT NECESSARY. The esteemed Chicago Herald quite regularly reprints editorial comment from these columns and is wont to credit it to the Hammond find.) Times or the Gary lnd.) Times. Now we ought to be and are flattered to be even noticed, but why when efforts are made everywhere to save white paper, print "Indiana"? Gary and Hammond are known from one end of the country tothe other. There are lots of people who couldn't tell you what state Evansviile or Fort. Wayne are in, but they all know where Hammond and Gary are. THE TIMES, too, spare these blushes, is pretty nearly as well known. "I was surprised," said a local man who has but recently returned from California, "to find THE TIMES on sale in San Francisco." His surprise couldn't be equalled, however, by a Hammond man in NewYork last week who was strolling down Hroadway and feeling lonesome. He stopped at one of those street news stands where papers from all over the country are sold. " Want your home paper?'' the news man asked. "Yes, you bet I'd like one, but you haven't got it." "What is it THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES?" the vendor queried. "If that's what you want I have it." And he did have it.

SUNDAY AT HIS BEST. Billy Sunday has jus left Boston with over fifty thousand dollars in his pockets, his share of the collections for the evangelistic riot and religious orgy he led in Bawston. It seems that during Sunday's mental extravaganzas in the House of God he is wont to describe a drunken man and in the adjectivp.l orgy rattles off the words so fast that no reporter has ever been able to get them. Before Sunday started into his sermon newspapermen began to work out a plan whereby they might give to the world for the first time the evangelist's descriptive classic of a drunkard which no stenographer has ever been able to catch owing to the speed with -which he ttcls it off, and which Hilly has refused to repeat slowly. The eight reporters each had a combination to watch. No. 1 was to get the first descriptive adjective and not worry vitil the ninth came around. No. 2 reporter was responsible for the second descriptive word and also the 10th, and so on along the line. Here is the triumphant result: "A staggering, reeling, muttering, maundering, blear-eyed, bloated, shamble-Saited, ragged, vomiting, puking, spewing, hog-jowled, weasel-eyed, beetle-browed, bull-necked, 'whiskey-soaked, Ted-nosed, vermin-covered, god-forsaken, hell-bound bum, with a breath that would put a den of polecats to shame. One night out with the gang curls a young man up like a boar pig with gastritis." Imagine the Man of Sorrows using such filtiiy language! And yet some of the people who applaud Sunday's lanuage in the earthly temples of the Almighty God will pretend to be horrified at some descriptions they read in newspapers.

THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY THE BILLS. , The taxpayers of Lake county seem to be quite content o see another court saddled on them at Crown Point in addition lo the proposed new court at Gary. The Davis bill to establish a criminal court at the county seat passed the hoti.se yesterday afternoon. Everything seems to be greased for it to have every passage. The taxpayers may think that this being a state court the state of Indiana will pay for its upkeep. Nothing is farther from

he truth. Lake count v will have to foot all the bills

$-".,000 salary which Judge-to-be E. C. Davis will get, all the other expenses and salaries of tho court will have to come out of the pockets of the taxpayers of Lake- county. The complaint is general that the property owners :" Lake county an- taxed to the hilt now. They will have to go down still deeper in their jeans, however, to provide representative Davis with a job. Davis is moving Heaven and earth to get the bill passed. There is still time for the taxpayers of the county to get busy if they feel that the county has courts enough. It is up to the taxpayers.

"SUPPOSE AMEPvICA DOES 'GO DRY'." Are we ready for prohibition in America? Those, who have considered the subject and who do not harbor ideas that the sole function of government is to stamp out the liquor traffic and who do not anticipate a state of "idealism should national prohibition ensue, can attend with an open mind the editorial in the February Ladies' Home Journal. The magazine is for national prohibition: it believes that the tiny is coming when the importation and sale of alcoholic liquors will be barred. But there is a bur. Head the Journal's "but": - "But when national prohibition comes, will it he et'fictive? We must remember that where states go 'dry' it is by reason of a majority vote but not by a vote of the whole people. Of course siuh a unanimous vote is hardly possible on any question. But o enforce a law that has not back of it an overwhelming public opinion is always difficult. There is m. doubt about the large influence of any measure that makes any habit of a people unrespectablr and illegal. But that does not always mean its effective enforcement. You minimize the evil but h not eradicate t; it is still with yen." Asserting thai "there can be no question that national prohibition being at present, in the absence of any more enlightened method, the logical and most effective instrument with which to fight the drink evil, but WL MUST NOT DELUDE OURSELVES WITH THE NOTION THAT THE MOMENT WE HAVE NATIONAL PROHIBITION ALL DRINKING WILL STOP," the Journal adds: "You cannot legislate a drunkard lido an abstainer. You may make it more difficult for him to get his drink; lou may make it less respectable for him to be seen drunk: but no Pi w is enforced or can be enforced in any government of the people such as ours unless an overwhelming majority of the people want, it enforced. As strongly in favor of national prohibition as any decent-minded man ot- woman may be, the fact must not be beclouded that it is only like an advance column of an army in a great war. The army itself must do the work, and that work is a public educational campaign of the people who are now skeptical on the question and who believe that to say to a man that lie cannot buy a drink if he wants it. is to curtail his liberty and interfere with his freedom of action. And this opinion is held by thousands of intelligent people." "We must be careful in this e,uestion not to get the cart before the horse: to legislate before we convince," the Journal points out, and further says'- "It is education that we want on this question of national prohibition just as legislation: more as a matter of fact. And we should have the former before the latter. NOT ONE OF US KNOWS WHETHER THE ACTUAL WORKING OF A NATIONAL PROHIBITION LAV.' IN THIS COUNTRY CAN BE SUCCESSFULLY CARRIED OUT." it is good advice the Jout1 gives. Before the American people com-
