bill is directly due to the insolent and un-American prohibition lobby at Washington, that was, even defiant to the president in a war easure. Disregarding all thoughts of America and willingly aiding ths Kaiser, this lobby has stopped al nothing to tack a prohibition rider onto a bill regarding food. In thee vital times it might juet as well have delayed the army and navy bills under the guise of prohibition. Why Congress submits to the brow-beating of this lobby at a crucial time is a mystery. After some time Congress kicked out the open proGerman lobby- It should teach a lesson in American patriotism to the drones and well-paid hirelings, who are obstructing food legislation.

REICHSTAG ? AVHAT OF IT? The situation in Germany is exceedingly Involved. "Much may happen there; nothing may happen. Kaiser Wilhelm will permit just so much reform or talk of reform and no more- We over here must look at the German people as through an almost impenetrable mist, even those who understand the electoral system- Those who do not might as well talk of the conditions on one of Saturn's rings. The reichstag is in session, but what does the reichstag amount to? The reichstag is only a place where certain elements gather to talk. These elements cannot act. The real German legislative body is the bundesrath- It has executive and judicial functions as well- . Suppose the reichstag voted a revolution, the bundesrath, appointed by kings and princes and representing directly the monarchs of twenty-five states composing the German empire, could and would veto it. They are not the delegates of people but ambassadors of king3- The latter are in session when the bundesrath meets. There is a ministry, but it is not a ministry, for the chancellor, responsible only to the emperor, is the only min

ister. The reichstag cannot remove the chancellor and not even the bundesrath can change the constitution without Wilhelm's consent, for no amendment can be passed if twenty bundesrath votes are cast agadnst it, and Wilhelm controls twenty votes in it. so what does it all amount to? Simply this: Wilhelm controls Germany, he is Germany. If every man in Germany, including all the dukes and kings, wanted a change, they couldn't get it unless Wilhelm said "Yes." The only way Germany can become free electorally is to physically oust Wilhelm bag and baggage.

U. S. GETS WAR WISDOM. It is pleasing to notice that the army authorities have acquired some war sense. They have learned something from the EnglishThus, as the result of a new order, 5 feet 4 inches is no longer the minimum height- It is now possible for a man 5 feet, 1 inch to go to war as jt is for a man 6 feet, 6 inchesEngland established that bantams can fight as good as the next man, and our own war department has shown common sense in adopting its findings. The greatest soldier that ever lived, General Napoleon, was only of bantam height.

How Money Gets Into Circulation. Money is sent from treasury to subtreasuries and from these It is distributed to banks. It is drawn out of banks to be used in payment of wages, salaries or exchange and thus gets Into circulation.

NOW FOR THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN AT GARY. Mayor Johnson's naming of a woman, who is the mother of( two children, to a place on the Gary park board means that he has recognized that oldfogy and inefficient body needs rejuvenation and that from now on the policy will be "women and children first " In the past, jt seems, they haven't been considered at allOne of the first acts of the new park commissioner, Mrs. 'Kate Wood Kay, will be to make public what is now a private place, Jefferson park. Worth $350,000 and improved at a cost of $150,00, it was supposedly presented to the people of Gary by the Steel Corporation. But it never reached the people- As a place for improving the value of property fronting it and being the private lawn of adjacent residents it has been a brilliant success. For some unknown reason no drinking fountains or toilet facilities have ever been installed in this park, although the council two seasons ago authorized a $10,00u bond issue for this purpose- The net result of this dilatory policy, which is either of design or neglect, is that the people of Gary really have had no use of the park- For instance, the lack of ordinary decencies and conveniences bars out mothers and children, and on a hot day they cannot come any distance and enter a place where there are no drinking fountains. It seems that as a recreation place for nearby residents, among whom are one of the present commissioners and one just dropped from the board, both of whose homes face the park, it has been unexcelled, and because of the lack of conveniences they have not been annoyed by the spectacle of people making much use of this beautiful place. Now the Gary schools are known all over the country as catering to the public; they never seem to close their doors- - The Gary parks as they have beea managed have been just the opposite- In faci' they have been Etriking examples of how parks should not be managed- ' . With a fearless and honest woman on the board. The Times believes that the mothers and children of Gary, at least, will now come into their own, and the other commissioners will assist Mrs. Ray in the commendable plans she has outlined. The new regime means that the people of Gary will get to use their own parks. Barred by a selfish monopolistic and conceived system of vast landlordism from using or even seeing their seven miles of lake front, the residents of Gary should at least have full use of the few breathing spots that are theirs,' and it is shameful that they have not had full use of these before- . Such of the school children of Gary, who have never seen Lake Michigan upon which their city is located, tut who are able to point out where it is on the maps in their geographies, denied of what should have been their marine birthright, may, now thank Mayor Johnson and Commissioner Ray that they will at least get the full value of one civic property'.
