THE NEED OF MORAL TEACHING IN THE SCHOOL The Forum of Indianapolis is much worried over the problem of teaching the Bible in the puhlic schools. It points out that if it is taught it must be along the lines of expounding it as a historical or literary document, which it also it. And the Forum wants to know how Jews, Catholics, Prctestants and those who may have no religion at all will taice to Bible teaching. Like many other newspapers the Forum realises that there is a definite need of moral teaching in the public EChools of America and there is. The Lutherans and Catholics have endeavored to supply this moral instruction by having parochial schools, but to the great mass of pupils there are no advantage like this. To institute Bible teaching on a non-sectarian basis probably would open a etorm of protest, create suspicions. Now, Mr. Indianapolis Editor, about the best way of meeting this issue is the plan they have worked out at Gary. Parents whose children want moral or Bibl,8 study are getting it, and the plan has the endorsement of Jewish, Catholic and Protestant clergymen. In New York the Episcopalian diocesan authorities, the American Federation of Catholic societies and associations of Jewish rabbis have endorsed the Gary religious plan. The plan is one whereby parishes maintain at their own edifices or at other places designated a teacher who will impart moral and religious instruction. It is an after-school affair, open to those whose parents designate that they should go, and the child of a particular faith goes to the religious school of that particular faith, conducted either by the pastor or a lay or clerical assistant. At Gary the plan works out. very well.

TWO STORIES Nothing like an anecdote to drive home an argument. Major Gen. Wood, speaking on the need of preparedness ai the Lotos Club told the story of his meeting an English friend and inquiring after the young son of the family. The boy was dead, somewhere in France. "It isn't his death that I deplore," said the father, "but the fact that I sent him into battle unprepared." In Germany a traveller closely encountered the fathers of many young men who were dead everywhere in Europe. "It Isn't their death we deplore," said the fathers, "but the fact that the end for which they died should be as far off as ever. Imagine, after forty years of preparation, after years of drill and discipline, with the best officers in the world, the heaviest guns, the most abundant supply of ammunition they went into the battle prepared, but they did not win; indeed, they probably died in vain." Of the two anecdotes, it seems to us the second is fully as thought-provoking as the flrsL
THE LOAN AND BASEBALL It Is a compliment to the newspapers of the United States that the government is using billboard advertising in preference to newspaper space to boost the new liberty loan. Uncle Sam can depend on anybody and any institution that has a soul, but he can not depend on a billboard; for it is about the most soleless and worthless thing in creation. Hundreds of people wi'.l pass a billboard every day and not notice what is on it, but nobody will buy a newspaper and fail to read its contents. Uncle Sam had put up to him the project of spending a very small part cf cne per cent in newspaper advertising, and Uncle !3am, through Secretary McAdoo, refused to take up the project. In all justice it should have been done that w-ay, and It could have been done without confusion, and with better results than can be achieved under the present methods. Yet, as has been said, it is a compliment to the publishers of newspapers to realize that they would support the loan spend their own personal money on composition, on space, on press work and the like, for a class of news that is not news, for a kind of material that overtaxes newspapers that are already overtaxed. There is no newspaper, so far as we know, that has refused to do its full part and more for It must be understood that ninety per cent of the material thit goes for free boosting of the loan is not news at all, but is mere repetition. And yet. newspapers have no room to complain, and they have a duty to nerform. Their sacrifice is small as eomoared to the sacrifices of mpn at th
front. And, newspapers have themselves made themselves the goat for near-1
ly worthless things, and. consequently, should make no complaint when ask
ed to give their support to projects that are worthy.
Newspapers have made baseball. For years they have contributed pages
and spent money from their own treasuries to obtain facts about baseball, and other men have commercialized the sport and used it to make themselves wealthy. AH the newspapers got out of v: was talk about it and talk and talk and talk about it. So long as newspE.pers permit baseball magnates to wai wealthy at their own fcolieh expense, they certainly need not he guilty of giving advertising grudgingly to help whip the kaiser.

THE MAYOR OP GARY IS FOR THE PEOPLE. When the steel company aldermen at Gary come to consider street repair or other appropriations, notably those involving the pay of $2.40 a day street laborers, they seem to become stringently economical. With many other appropriations they hardly allow increases as the years roll on and the .city grows bigger. But with the Gary Heat, Light and Water company of the steel trust ah, that is another story! It seems to be the favored corporation of certain aldermen. They are generous with the taxpayers' gold when this poverty-stricken offspring of Wall street starts wallowing at the treasury trough. This is the same concern that the mayor of Gary says charges 30
ner cent more for gas than they do in Chicago, a lot more for electricityW
(said to be made the cheapest in the world at the Gary steel plant), and four times as much for water as they do in Chicago, although it all comes from the same source, Lake Michigan. The funds that thia company receives Is for sidewalk lights, the rental of arc lights (the annual charge being $75 a year in Gary as compared with
only $32.50 in Hammond) and for fire plug, rentals (some of which are never tapped to yield a drop of water in a years time). How well this company gets its tentacles into the city treasury is shown by the following appropriations for light and water: 1913 - 149,400.00 19H 4,295.00 1915 .. 43 905.00 1918 - 61,517.05 1917 70,175.84 191g 83,694.58 Is it any wonder that Mayor Johnson, who has set out to have the public service commission of Indiana reduce light and water rates not only for the city but for the residents of Gary, is having so many of the people backing him in his race on the independent ticket for re-election? This Gary utilities company is also the same concern which furnishes free lawn sprinkling water, at the instance and the pay of the Gary Land company, also a part of the steel trust, to those who live on land now owned or sold by the steel company. Gary people who do not buy land from the steel trust or who do not live on land that it has sold ret no free sprinkling water, which is a great item in a sandy city like Gary. Is it any wonder that the people of the south side, Tolleston and Ridge road, very few of whom can afford to pay Wall street its high price for water, as wel las those on the north side, who sympathize with them because of their inability to have lawns, flowers and trees, are backing Mayor Johnson, who is fighting the people's cause against corporation greed? Mayor Johnson's re-election may not mean such fancy rates for Wall street, but it will mean a whole lot to women and children, especially the babies.
ALTHOUGH the potato crop is a big one this year and it was a small one last year the price of potatoes now is as high as it was this time last year. Have the potato magnates also set prices above patriotism.
NOTE by the TIMES that during Mayor Johnson's term as Mayor Gary's population has increased from 30,000 to 60,000. Rulers who want to repair their populations after the war might write to the Gary city hall.

TO THE WAGE-EARNERS OF THE UNITED STATES
By W. B. WILSOX, Secretary of Labor.
The great European war in which we are now Involved came to the people of the Western Hemisphere as a terrible shock, and to no portion of the people did it come as a greater shock than to the wage-earners of tha United States. They believed In and wanted international peace, but they wanted it on a basis of international Justice which would insure the right of our people to govern themselves. When the Imperial German Government undertook to destroy the lives of our people and to impose a rule of conduct upon us without our consent in places under the jurisdiction of the United States Government, there was no course left but to resist. The workers have more at stake in this great conflict than any others, because it Is only In a democracy that the common people can come Into their own. The great privilege is not given to all of us to serve our country on the battle
