TOO MUCH TALKING. We have all heard the. story of the talkative parrot who invited a controversy with the dog by continued totrue lashinre until the enemy, catching him unaware, pave the pert parrot an awful walloping- Meditating afterward upon his bedraggled appearance the bird is eaJd to have remarked: "I always did talk too much.'" Oossip may be innocent and it is a sport largely in dulged in, but in its practice there exists a danger as great as a bomb explosion. Nor is the custom confined by any means to women, where so many cynics rlace it. Men are as inveterate gossipers as women for the reason that they talk idly about serious subjects of public concern. An intimation given currency in idle gossip may be taken by a suspicious or malevolent bvstander and enlarged into such proportions as to be stated as a fact later on. resulting in sorro. the ruin of a character or the creation of animosities that will lead to tragedy. Practical application of these cautions is e?pecially needed in these days of unrest in the countries so powerfully affe-cted by the late war, and especially needed in our own land, where we boast of our privilege of free speech. Both the talker and listener of gossip of an evil or dangerous kind is equally culpable. One becomes the distributor of the gossip the other creates. If just now we could all keep quiet for a space so far as merely idle talk, incendiary talk and vicious gqssip is concerned, the best that is in man would easily assert itself and bring peaceWARNING OF THE FUTURE. "Turks Are Resuming Attack on Rumania. Existence of Nation in Danger, Says Appeal for U. S. Troops" N'ews Headline. The urgent appeal is for 10,000 American soldiers and equipment for 30,000 Armenion volunteers. If the United States were now a member of the league of nations it would be an ORDER, not an appeal.

JUDGE GARY'S ATTITUDE. Judge Gary is adding nothing to his prestige nor that of his cause by maintaining silence in thi crisis and by refusing even to meet those whose views on the steel strike differ from his own. His attitude savors of the arrogance that characterized certain "captains of finance ' in the old d.iys when capital considered itself sacred. That day is past. Gary's theory that meeting the representatives of the strikers would savor of a back-down from his principles will' not hold water. A conference would not mean susrender. but it would show courtesy and al.-o indicate his belief that there is such a thing as possible human error even in hin.self nothing more. Gary's business judgment should cause him to understand the unwisdom of his present course- He need not be garrulous ia his remarks, but he c mid give hi:; views to the public plainly and he owes it even to the men whom he employs, however unjustly he may consider they are acting, at least to give thrm face to face his views, and then, if he wish, be done M-ith it. The steel strike has not met popular sympathy and is not likely to for the various reasons that have been very generally discussed hitherto, but if the contentions of the men were even partly sound and they were guided by w;-.e leaders instead of the Red radicals that seem largely to be in control, Mr. Csry and his associate would now be in very sorry' case and as it Is the chairman of the stel organization loses the opportunity to get into the good graces of the public whe-n he ignores it by his silence. In these days the people are not easily stricken by awe even when in the presence of those who may consider themselves mighty, but they easily become irritated by the cockiness of one who believes himself superior to public opinion. Muncie Press.

WE REFUSE TO WEEP. "Playmates of my child twit her because her father can't afford an automobile," said United States Senator Sherman, of Illinois, during a hearing when policemen were urging congress to pay them more. "Ican't afford an automobile on my salary-" We refuse to weep any further over the sorrows of the great. Mr. Armour, wearing his resoled and heeled shoes and a three-year-old derby, doesn't wring our heart anymore, not after hearing the testimony of his bootmaker, who said he had just completed several pair of shoes for the packer at a cost of $150. When Mr. McAdoo, after being the what's his name of fashion and the thingumbob of form, admitted that he, too, had joined the greasy vest, club and was absolutely down and out as far as any new clothes were concerned.

INITIATIVE, INCENTIVE AND OTHER POINTS The news of the day contains a story of a young woman who reached New York from Eneland with her sex so well concealed by men's clothes and working as a coal p-asser. that she evaded detection until landed at Hoboken. There she was arrested as a "disorderly person" and held for action by federal authorities on a charge of having landed without a passport. According to the young woman's story her name Is Elsie Wilson, aged twenty-two, with a home near Liverpool, England. Conditions were so bad in England that she desired to get away from it all by coming to America. Four attempts to reach the promised land as a stowawayfailed Then she cut off her hair, dressed in boy'? cloth ing and successfully engaged as a coal passer. The open-minded observer fails to detect in ay of this a trace of criminality. The girl's story may be True, but even that shows nothing criminal. On the face of her story she oueht to be highly commanded instead of meeting with arrest and harsh treatment. Tf ifts creditable for a young man or even a younsr woman to- display initiative, to express in practical terms the desire to achieve an improvement in individual conditions, this young woman seems to be worthy of praise, not im prisonment. The one point against her is that she landed without a passport. That is to say she passed between the two, great English speaking nations, both boastful of their high democratic qualities, without a certificate which has its only legitimate place in an autocracy. In the plainest of words, this young woman, depressed by unfavorable social conditions in her native land, desired to go Into a better atmosphere, but is halted, arrested, and no doubt will be thrust back into the circumstances from which enlightened human being try to escape. All because she is moneyless and without the monarchial passport- It is a fine commentary upon initiative, democracy and a lot of other things.

Voice

Of The People

WILSON AROUSES IRISH IRE. "The right of national self-determination is in no wayrecognized in the proposed foundation for the league and there is no guarantee of any sort that it will be recognized when the league is established." says Eamo de Valera, president of the Irish Republic. He also Fays, "The good offices under Article 11 of an interested third nation will be helploss against the determined refusal of the tyrant nation to allow the matter to be considered." Mr. Pe Valera clearly does not argree with Mr- Wilson that the "hope of the Irish is in the league." President Wilson has opened up the flood waters of Irish retort when he offers the league as a remedy for all ailments.

Ilamnv'n'i? I it Ni'-ause th citizens of Hammond labor undi-r the imprt-syion ttvit thr-? is no npi'l "f a "Y." or rl-i they shrui? their sh' Uldors and S3 y, "Oh! we haven't the timo to promote suh an enterprise. We haven't the u ney it would cost too much." and numerous other excuses? Surely, every right thinking man In thia city of Hammond can yee and feel the need of a Y. M. C. A. There is no need to explain what a "T" is. We all know It as an association to improve, the mind, body and spirit, regatdless of creed. How many young men, and older men. too, have strolled down town for the evening and for lack of any hotter nace. to go. h.ive dropped Into a pool room, a taloon (before July 1st), loafed around the parks and other places just to pa&s the time away before returning. It wastn't a. very profitable evening after meeting the fang and blowing 1n a goodly portion of your salary. Was it? If that maney had been invested In a T. M. C A. membership card, what returns would you have received? I think all of us would agree that such an Investment would yield very hith dividends morally, bodily and spiritually. Now. Just why ltsn't ther such an association in this city? I am not a native of this town, beins here only two years, but I can see the Immediate need of a "T." just as others

must see it. Nnw that the war is over, why nt include th building of an association In th building program of the city for

the near future, built, patronized and

supported by the people of Hammond. There are so many arguments FOR and NONE against the subject in question that it is a waste of time and space to write more. AN INTERESTED SPECTATOR.

NOTED JEWISH HOLIDAY Today Is Tom Kippur, the great Jewish Iay of Atonement. It is bein faithfully celebrated in all the iewish synagogues. Institutions and homes in Whiting. East Chicago. Gary and Hammond. To its sancuty as the most Important of the Kast Days, there Is aided a double significance for the calendar had brought Yom Kippur on the Jewish Sabbath, making it a doubly sacred day and it is perhaps the most tragic Day of Atonement in the history of the ancient Jewry. From their iome in Palestine. from the shores of the Baltic and .he Black Pea from Poland and the frozen wa.tes of Siberia from every foreign land into which Jewish relief workers have penetrated, the Fad New Year message that comes to this country is ever the same 'European Jewry is perishing." America Is the onlv land in -whii-h

the new month of Tishrl, the Hebraic

January, brings any Joy to the Jewish population.
