THE GALLED JADE EVINCES. Having escaped indictment by the grand jury for maintaining a poker Joint, the Gary Post in billingsgate that would do credit to any fish wife, founders- in the mire in Us endeavor to explain to the Gary Pastors' Union the early Sunday morning raid the police made on its editorial rooms. The reform newspaper wants to give fifty dollars or five dollars and sixty cents, or something like that, if it cannot prove something that proves nothing, or something like that. We doubt whether the r. n. has the $50 or $5-60, or whatever it is or was to throw awayThe fact remains: there wa3 gambling in the Post office, the police raided the game, the raid was on a Sunday morning, employes of the Post were playing, they were arrested. That's all the Gary Pastors' Union wants to know. The arrest sheets show it. The people know why the Post attacks Mayor Johnson- ' In the meantime the Post goes on explaining about its gambling enterprise and its desire to "reform" the city. It has far from convinced the Fastors' Union that its games were wholly "harmless" and that the "gambling was wholly by employes." That may be true; it may not. For that matter so were the games at the establishments of "Sunny" Sheets and ''Mickey" Flannagan, where gambling was also "wholly by employes," some of them employes of the steel mills. But the difference between Messrs. Sheets and Flannagan and the Post is that the newspaper management somehow or other was able to escape indictment.

TELEPHONE COURTESY. . If there Is any institution that is promoting the spread of courtesy it Is the corps of telephone operators. We don't know who founded the modern system of Chesterfieldianism, but what's important is that the telephone operator is spreading it. The influence these young women exert in causing courtesy to become a natural thing is hard to calculate because it is so extensive. But with the higher "development of the art, it is noticed that not only do people get along much better as far as telephones are concerned, but they grasp the spirit of common service, which real courtesy is and unconsciously allow it to enter into their daily home and business relationsThe person who becomes discourteous over the telephone, or to the operator simply has his boorishness standing out in stronger relief, especially if he is dealing with the young womanat the switchboard, for she will remain polite. We owe a great deal to what the operators are teaching us, and nearly every one listens to operators these days-

START IX LIFE. Jack Lait says, In the American Magazine, that "at So a citizen should have a wife and children, he should have a permanent trade; he should have money in bank and a commensurate endowment policy half paid off " That is, lf a man wanted to be of any account in the world he should marry at 25 or 26 and lay the foundation of an honorable and useful life, and thus make himself a citizen that is worth having. These fellows who are sporting around and lounging in clubs waiting to become real men should turn over a new leaf and begin to amount to something more than agreeable fellows, writes the Ohio State Journal. They owe the world a home and should seek out some appropriate woman to help them pay the debt. It is a nice thing to be a bachelor and a nice thing to be an old maid, but it is a nicer thing to be neither.

MIDSUMMER MADNESS. Cool weather continues, but midsummer madness appears. It's in connection w'ith the automobile business. Here and there a gloomy person thinks it's going to pot- What can a sane man fina to support a theory like that at this time? Never was such a demand for automobiles. Never such a rapid using up of vast numbers. Hundreds of thousands are being Junked on the tattle front. An artillery horse's life is short and also that of an army automobile. Europe has been drained of cars for war business. And the drain continues. Every warring nation is being combed for transport material. Pleasure riding has almost vanished- No automobiles to ride in. About six pleasure cars a week are possibly being turned out in Great Britain. Automobile and other factories over there have been converted into munitions plants. There's where America comes in with an assured automobile business while the war lasts. There's where she also comes in when the war ends. These plants can't be reconverted overnight into automobile factories. It will take time. In the meantime these countries

REALLY nothing has alarmed us so much In years as this talk of substituting trousers for kilties IT'S going to be an awful thing for some men we could name.

will demand all sorts of automobiles. They will also be used to the idea of getting things from America. Therefore, America may confidently keep on making great numbers of machines- Assured domestic and foreign markets await them. It's sheer midsummer madness the suggestion that the automobile industry of all industries is or 13 likely to be in a bad way. No well-run automobile manufacturing concern has any reason to fear conditions. Prosperity means automobiles. The automobile saturation point is not reached here and it is far from reached abroad- War's blast dries out a seeming sufficiency as quickly as a hot wind dries the moisture from a clothThe cry Isn't over poor business prospects; it's for more and more machines.

F. WE said food lobby.

DAVID STARR JORDAN Is still $50,000 shy on his pacifist fund DAVID probably feel that PEACE is what Sherman said war was. THE Goethals-Denman affair was a regular Verdun WITH the Crown Prince missing. THERE are a lot of silly old reformers who are making an awful fuss about the beach girls' bare legs FORGETTING- that few clothes ARE a darned sight more suggestive than no clothes.

A FINE LETTER. Mount Clements, Mich.. July 18. 1917. I noticed an article in The Lake Cor ntt Times which stated that a Hommond recruit had spoken other than commendable about the food at a "Kentucky fort." and must pass comment on that food. During the -lime I spent

at that fort, April 26th to May 18th

there were only four mealswhere any

complaint was heard. That was when

mutton stew was served. There was plenty cf good, wholesome food, and it was prepared in such a way that no

one, if he considered the fact that they

could complain. It was much better

than most of us hoped for when thinking of enlisting. Probably the fellow

that kicked was homesick.

The food at Camp Kelly, Texas, during May and part of June was mighty

poor, it was at times, partly decayed and at no time during that period did all have enough, but we believed 'that
