"LIMBS." Miss Nina Feezer, daughter of the Wells county recorder, was taken from here to Bluffton. twenty-five miles. In the ambulance of Mungovan & Ryan, last night, as the result of falling and break.g her limb. Fort Wayne Gazette. We take it that Miss Nina was so unfortunate as to fall and break her leg- For had she simply broken her arm it wold have so been stated. Just why it is that he-prudes and nasty-nice women have such horror of using the word leg is past all comprehension and denotes nothing so much as a lack of ordinary Intelligence. Everyone knows that women have legs just as thy have arms, seeks, eyes, teeth, toes and other natural and useful appurtenances, and those who refrain from referring to a leg as a leg are guilty of a modesty that betokens a state pf mind that is' abnormal and neurotic. This blushing reference to "limbs" when legs are meant is suggestive of the conduct of the overly modest young woman who put pantilettes on the piano's legs and who before retiring at night remsved from her room a copy of the Christian Observer. If you want to speak of a lry

speak of a leg, for when you call it a limb people know that you are think

ing of what you should not think, advises the Fort Wayne News.

rected by local viceroys, and having affiliated with it wide influence in politics and local business, indirect control of banking power and commercial organizations, as well as affiliated interest in various local enterprises, and even influence over certain newspapers. A newspaper like the Indianapolis News, which is so well acquainted with Indiana affairs, should know that Gary is no better or perhaps any worse than its sister cities, but that whatever occurs at Gary is often magnified by the commending parties. The News, above all others, should appreciate that "reform" waves that come coincident with city election primaries are to be questioned, especially when the "reformers" are parties to the election- And since the citizens of Gary have had their civic functions more or less atrophied by a system of benevolent despotism that arises from a, gigantic and centralized industrial and financial power, the News might inquire whether this vast growing despotism, which is destined to creep into the government of Indiana Just as it has done into Gary's government and as it is spreading into the county's government, is wholly blameless for the crop of Frankensteins that now confront us-

"CONDITIONS IN GARY."

It is with interest that we read an editorial in the Indianapolis News,

captioned as above, on things as they are in Gary. In Purttannical manner the News berates Gary. Of course, Gary isn't a model, but we are tired of the Indianapolis papers

scolding Gary and Lake county when they have in their own community con

ditions that smell to heaven. Only last week the chief and members of the

Indianapolis police force were convicted in federal court for election

frauds, for clubbing men going to the polls. A special grand Jury will consider further indictments, it is said. And not so long ago grand Juries In Indianapolis indicted many officials for graft and other forms of civic corruption-Day by day news in the Indianapolis papers tell of the convictions of divekeepers, blind pig keepers and others who seek to prey upon soldiers assembling there; and the series of murders in recent years at Indianapolis have been of national notoriety. And what with city and county conditions in such state it is only a short time back since rotten conditions were found in the legislative chambers at the capitalOtherwise Indianapolis is a pure city. To understand affairs at Gary one must hare an appreciation of the unusual conditions that obtain there; of the struggle the people are making to maintain their civic independence, of their trials and tribulations that arise from the operations of industrial overlords who function through local satraps- It is a story of the attempt to control the city and county government, to sequester choice public contracts, and to further advance the personal interests of some of those who would more than, "Krupple" this American steel city. Gary is not Essen, but in some respects the citf

zens of Essen probably have more freedom than do the people of Gary; and thanks must be given to that sturdy portion cf officialdom, that portion of the press that is not influenced, and that portion of the clergy, clergy who are particular as to the acceptance of gifts or contributions for their churches, for resisting unhealthy influencesIn Gary no one is rich. This i3 because It is young and because It is a one-industry town. Power in Gary comes by proxy and the ability to continue dividends. There is very little else that the Gary lieutenants of industrial overlords do not have under their hands, whether it is. industry, banking, political machinery, the political and financial benefits of control of choice saloon sites, commercial organizations, and in great degree the administration of government itself. Added to these acquired perogatives is the domination cf most of the public utilities a3 well as the financial, political and Impressive moral benefits that come from a great system of landlordism, that is absentee in its character and which has all of the virtues and some of the failings of the Irish system. Probably no other scheme of landlordism is so powerful politically and financially in the middle west than this one that is reputed to have made $30,000,000 unearned increment during the past ten years, and which exerts its dominion for its own advancement and profit to an extent that the very people of Gary have no access to their seven imles of lake front. Neither the harbor, fishing or bathing facilities, or even the very sight of Lake Michigan itself are theirs civic birthright is ruthlessly regarded, one might say. It is hard for outsiders to comprehend that in this unusual community of Gary- where the functions of industry, landlordism on a large scale, monopoly of best business sites, public utilities and practically all employment are dominated by one central system of out of town control di-
