APPEAL TO STATE U

VOICE OR THE PEOPLE

ABOUT PROHIBITION. Editor Times: What was the prohibition vote at the last election? What was the largest prohibition vote ever polled? What is the objection to nation-wide prohibition? INQUIRER. The largest vote ever polled in favor of National Prohibition was that of 1832. when, of a total of 12.000,000, it numbered 264.133. With a great in? creased population, the vote last year, in a total of more than 19,000.000, was only 221.329. There is not a Congressional district in the United States that the National Prohibitionists can carry without the and ot some cWxr party. Nation-wide Prohibition, as it is usually urged, by constitutional amendment, is open to serious objection on the ground' that, once effected, a small minority of States would forever possess the power to veto the wishes of a great majority of States to reverse a policy' legretted. There is a vast difference in principle

between Nation-wide Prohibition of this description and the local option which

obtains in many States, counties and"

cities. Local option at least consults the wishes of ths people concerned. All have an opportunity to be heard, and in most cases the minority in one campaign may become the majority at soma future t.i:,i,.-.

HE TAXES EXCEPTION. Editor Times: In his address Saturday evening as reported by The Times Dr. Landrith undertakes to poke fun at agnostics. He is quoted as saying that an agnostic is a fellow that does not know anything, and admits it. To some extent that Js true. Asked whether there Is a supreme being, or a future life, or any other question of like character and the agnostic will say: I do not know. It is only the "inspired" that pretend to know anything. There is one thing that the agnostic knows, and so does the clergy, including Dr. Landrith, and that is this: The clergy knows that agnostic knows, that they know, that they don't know. On some questions they are as dumb as the agnostic, but they won't admit it. M. A. DAI LET (Agnostic), Hammond, Ind.

The number he now holds reveals only that he was the 10th person to register and his old number will t not hold for the draft. Reports on the streets of all Lake county cities last night that the numbers had been drawn were rank and bald fakes and the V S. government is today preparing to make it hot for those who were responsible for the fakes. War department orders are to the effect that the numbering of registrants must be completed by the evening of July 7. Both the city and county boards of registration are now busily engaged in compiling a new numberization, lists of which with the number o. the registrant, his name, and address will be completed by tomorrow night. APPOINTS DISTRICT BOASSS. Gov. Goodrich, acting through Jesse E. Eschbach, state conscription agent, has appointed the four district boards of review for the state of Indiana which are to decide appeals from the decisions of the local military exemption boards and are to have exclusive jurisdiction in all cases involving agricultural or industrial exemptions. Five men are on each of these appeal boards, with one lawyer, one physician and one representative of labor, agriculture and industry. Lake county, with 21 other counties, has been placed in district No. 1. This district includes 50.553 men of conscription age. The appointments of the governor are to be formally approved by the president and the Washington military authorities will designate the date on which these boards shall meet and organize, and where they shall sit. COITSCSIPTXOH LAW CITES. The conscription law in describing the duties of the district appeal boards states that "such district boards shall review on appeal and affirm, modify or reverse any decision of any local board having Jurisdiction in the area in which any such district board has jurisdiction under the rules and regulations prescribed by the president. Such district boards shall have exclusive orig inal Jurisdiction -within their respective areas to hear and determine all questions or claims for including or excluding or discharging persons or classes of persona from selective draft, under the provisions of this act, not included within the original jurisdiction of such

f Joeal boards. All cases involving agri

cultural or industrial exemptions will be passed on by the district boards, which also shall decide appeals from the local boards." The regulations announced by the president provide that the district boards, in passing on claims for exemption on the ground of employment in necessary industrial and agricultural occupations, "must be convinced that the particular enterprise affording such employment actually is necessary to the maintenance of the military establishment or national interest during the emergency." This means that men employed on farms or in industries will not necessarily be exempted. In fact no exemptions are to be by classes, each case being considered on its individual merits. While the claims for exemptions, except those based on industrial or agricultural occupation, will be passed on by local boards, all of its decisions will be subject to review by one of the district boards of review. PSOMPT DECISIONS ORDERED. After the drawings have been made on a date yet to be named by the local boards and the names of those called to the colors have been announced, men desiring to claim exemption for different causes will go before the local boards in their respective cities or counties. Local boards will make their decision on claims for exemptions within three days after the rroof has been filed. Men claiming exemption who are not satisfied with the decision of their'

local board will have the right to appeal their case to one of the district boards of review, that is the board in the district which includes his home county. The decision of the district board of review will be final, except that it could be set aside by the president of the United States. The privilege of appealing to a district board of review Is granted to men dissatlB.led with the decision of the local board and it is presumed that the government alro would have the right of appeil where it considered that & local board had made a mistake ffl permitting an exemption.

Last night at the corner of Chicago and Melville avenues in East Chicago, Thomas Smith, colored, ill with smallpox and doubtless spreading germs on every hand stepped into the drug store

and expressed a desire to be place under j

cnarge or tne local authorities. He had Just arrived from Denver, Colo., and discovered that he was breaking out with some dread malady. He was thoughtful enough to remain distant from people on the street and the board of health was telephoned and had him taken at once to the pest-house. The attitude of Mr. Smith and his action has probably prevented another epidemic in this city. Vnder the circumstances it is not thought that any one has been exposed.
