Till: MUKDEI? KECOHI) HERE. On Au.fui.5t. 1" the coroner complatnpd that 17 murdPts had been comTtiTtPil in I.alte county since the first of the year, a record which he cited ; a ghastly one when compared with 12 murders last year in all Canada, v. :.:: There are 10,00Vno people. Since the coroner spoke six weeks ago five more murders have been conitriHted here, bringing the total for nine months up to twenty-two. Without attempting to analyze the several causes behind it, the failure "it suppress tie carrying of concealed weapons, and the lawlessness anions certain negroes and foreipners. we merely wish to call attention to Canadian justice. Here it seems that after the first few days a murder is forgotten. In this county, which i nothing more than a fedenttion of decentralized r-n:r.?ctpalities, with iniapinary political ih.:: ic s and th-. luc k ot regional i venjr jve authority the county government under the Indiana la'- being K3 anomaly, not centralized; complementary instead of heinc cohesive, co-o;-eraive r.nd possessed of power contribute to the failure to probe into c-ise-s, run murderers down, and prosecute them. In a proup of towns and f'.-S r .f tiiy tv municipality, central policing is lacking I the sheriff is 1! Leep--- - i ;. s server , inadequate laws limit the proseuivri scope of action and as a result the state's attorney's office, unsupported either by statute or finances for investigation and detective lure, i- nol ;m effective department. This situation is peculiar to Lake county. The unwieldy povernment of the county is best reflected in its scattered i-vstem of courts; instead of one county seat we really have three, with the t.icu't ar.l juwnile court r.t Crown Point, two siiperior courts at Hammond and a fifth court of record, the superior court at Gary, all havinp criminal jurisdiction. No doubt this obsolete machinery for enforcing and administerinp the liw has a preat deal to do with lawlessness in this county. Here; where cur population has increased four times in a few years, it seems that every".l.inp else, except the machinery of policing, prosecution and dispensing jusnre. has been improved to meet chansinp conditions and to adjust things i thv noly ,:ut population, the greater part of which is foreign born. Perhr.ps this more than anything else is responsible and the reason why there i-i not that same vigorous support given to the law as in Canada may be .c: en in the paragraphs that follow. Three years ago two Roman Ca'holio, missionaries were murdered at i.le head of Great Hear lake, in the arctic circle country. A year later the r.ows reached Calgary, a distance of over H.Ot'O miles. Three members of the Royal Northwest Mounted ToMce were told to pet th? murderers. They iravfled 2,'tOO miles through the frozen north, endured great hardships, and f.n;;l!y found their prisoners. The journey took a. year. Mor remarkable is this story of a search that is still on. On Jim" S. i'.'ll. Henry V. Radford, a famous arctic explorer, and a companion, were speared to da'n by E.-kimos in the Baker Lake region of Hudson Pay. News t ravels lowly in that desolate region and two years later the Northwest Police heard of the crime. A patrol of four officers was dispatched to arrest, if possible, the two murderers. Going from Regina in western Canada to Halifax by train, a distance of 2 .(').) miles, these policemen took a chartered schooner and after many hardships and being wrecked several times they reached Chesterton Inlet in the Hudson Pay country. The party passed inland and for three years scoured a vast land som half a milhon f'iuare miles in area or seventeen times the size of Indiana. They found the cabin where the crime was committed, but no trace of the murderers. In 1816 the patrol's three years of duty being up they returned to civilization, reaching Reglna early this year. This search cost th Canadian government $!i"VMH, but it is not finished yet. It has sent out a new patrol t find those two murdei ers,- ignorant Indian - the oxpcn.-e beinW cheerfully paid to avenge the crime and 'o sustain the law. Perhaps these examples of nnrelentina pursuit in connection with the justice of Canada, which has lti.OOD.'if ' population and but one murder a month, may explain why in Lake county. -appointed executioners in a community of l.'in.noii people slrn 22 persons in trite months. In Canada their tiystem does not make human life chap ntr does it let things uo ,-asv -.' ith murderers

parish, is for the hardy peasants from the I'krainc. Resides these there are the Orthodox Catholic churches such as those for the Greeks, Serbs, Russians and Roumanians. From the standpoint of the religious aspect Gary :s very interesting, id Jewry, Catholicism and Protestanism they pet along cry well, all agreein?: harmoniously in go-to-church campaigns and in the matter of relipious schools. Besides those who believe in Christianity Gaiy has K0! staunch adherents of Islam. These Mohammedans daily turn io he east and renew their prayers to Allah. And not the least of the relipiou:? figures in Gary is the learned and venerable Ras Bar, an Ethiopian rabbi from distant Abyssinia, who finds his training in the religion of Moses and Pavid and Abraham of aid to him in working for the betterment of the colored peon!"

JUST AS SOOX AS NOT. We are not 3 bit interested in the Berlin news that Germany disavows and denies the "spurlos versenkt" business. Of course she disavows it. What did they expect the kaiser to do admit it? Why, that boy, to make a point, would sniff soulfully at a tank of poison gas made especially for baby-killing purposes and solemnly swear it was violet perfume worth $;5 an ounce.

GARY Tribune, officia1 organ of Republican Mayoralty Candidate Hodes, announces that Mr. Hodges' platform has been recalled. We don't know why, but it may be remembered that in lfU2 when Mi-. Hodges and the Tribune were knifing the republican party and were denouncing it as infamously corrupt they were in favor of the referendum and recall.

To me "Americanism'' is one of the grandest words in the Kcitiish language. It. has become symbolical of civil and religious liberty oa tho western continent. It represents the shining goal toward which the human race has been tending since time began. We find epitomized in it the struggles, the hopes, the dreams and the aspirations of man for better days and better things since the litre when he cringed and crawled in the dens ami caverns of barbarism, ami grope; and felt his 'way through the long night of the stagnant centuries toward the dawn of a grander day up to the present hour when we heboid him revealed, standing upright, with the sunlight of heaven in his face, r,r walking with uncovered head beneath the silent stars, contemplating ns to the handiwork of the Creator and the betterment of the human race. Americanism is the new civilization. Americanism has become synonymous with the spirit of civil ar-.d religious freedom throughout the world. Wh ns and all thinkirg men Americanism has become like a mighty and ever-widening stream. Its source lies hidden somewhere in the swamps and lowlands of barbarism. Its origin is coeval with the human race. It has been fed by passing clouds that drop their garnered fullness down, by innumerable rills that gush from the mountainside... by springs that we'! rp.ii.to iN unseen depths, and by subterranean rivers that joyously sv, ell its everincreasing volume as it moves on in solemn majority toward the c-OTnal sen. On its surface serenely rides our ship of state, urn id tie1 sterns of war, tin chocked by devious currents or adverse winds that F.r.w. ''The hopes of humanity ere hanging breathless on its fate." The waters at times seem troubled, but our course is plain. An enL.-r-.tonod public opinion is "our pilot and' our Constitution is our chart and compass. Let the stream of Americanism flow on until it engulfs the vr?r;-l. Let it flow on until all the races and all the children of men shall ri''V.?e its blessings and enjoy its energizing and revivifying influences. Let .' flow on until it ends with the consummation of all things earthly at the throne of God.
