WHY "PAY AS YOU GO?"

The school city of Hammond probably is

ware that the taxpayers of Hammond are

vastly interested in the problems that are said

to be confronting the city schools the problems whose solution hits Mr. Taxpayer's pocketbook a sickening wallop every year. While the majority of the opinions at Tuesday night's meeting where there were only two score taxayers present may have been that the city should pay as it goes in the matter of new buildings and improvements ,it by no means follows hat the majority of the 40,000 residents of Hammand feel that way about the payments. We are inclined from the expressions of pinions heard since the meeting to believe that the greater portion of the taxpayers would preer payment by means of a bond issue spread ver a term of years rather than payment all at nce. The taxpayers of this city are not as ush as the school city seems to think they are. he population of the city will be greatly enanced within the next five years and there is o reason why the new comers should not pay heir pro rata share for public school blessings ither than saddle everything on the present opulation of Hammond. The general impreson around these parts is that the people of this ty are just about taxed to the top of the gullet ow. The taxpayers of Hammond are pretty ell agreed that it is all very well to talk about le needs of the school city in figures of hunreds of thousands of dollars but that the most gid economy should be utilized in these exinditures and absolutely all extravagances and lings that are not necessary be dispensed ith. Hammond is gorged with taxation, itizens are against being taxed for school frills

nd it will be well to give this consideration.

OUR FOREIGN RELATIONS.

The European jibe that it seemed impossible

to make agreements with the United States that the senate would recognize is now disapproved. With the Pacific agreement out of the way, the

balance of the treaties drawn up by the Wash

ington conference are certain of ratification. The whole parley and its resulting pacts were based

upon the Pacific treaty. Had that failed, the naval limitation and everything else might have gone by the board: The Washington treaties beng ratified, the administration will be free to tackle the other problems of foreign relations awaiting its attention . Every proposed amendment and every reservaton offered, except the one approved by President Harding, stipulating that the pact involved the United States in "no commitment to armed force, no alliance and no obligation to join in any defense," was voted down. The latter reservation was devised to meet objections early in the debate when ratification was more in doubt, but whether it was necessary either to secure ratification votes or to procct America against involement is debatable.

THE WIRELESS telephone now transmits

sses. but it is hard to work ud enthusiasm over

nthetic osculation.

THE CLANS GATHER. The series of conferences now being called into session in several of the southern states will never take high place in point of political significance. Indeed, it is altogether improbable that any of the world's political leaders will be deeply impressed by anything that may come these several gatherings. But for untold numbers of people in this country every day of the thirty or forty day sessions which are now beginning will bring news the importance of which is not to be denied. There will be rejoicing if the reports are the right kind; and despair if another kind of report should come fom the South. " Neither age nor race will keep any one from being vitally interested in what the conferees are presently to determine. Old and young and middle-aged will turn with inteerst to each day's report; representatives of every nationality in this country will scan eagerly the page which brings the news. For it is in these conferences in the baseball training quarters in the South that it will be decided whether the stove league predictions were sense or nonsense. Will the King of Swat repeat this year his last year's record? Will this pitcher's arm come back? Has the other gained the control but for

the lack of which last year he might have been

the leading pitcher of the league? These are the questions the alleged answers to which will be worked out within a short time now. And then there are the new recruits, the unknowns, the mysterious personages of baseball in whom we always have so much hope in the spring, and who do not always turn out to be the heroes the stove league forecast made them out to be. There is such a difference between baseball and paper and baseball on the diamond.

Happy Home TO maintain a "happy home the housewife must keep in good health. Her duties are many and various, and it seems as if every other member of the family depended very much on her. " Where is my hat?" cries the boy. "What did you do with my coat ? " asks the daughter. " I can't find any handkerchiefs," yells the husband. The housewife is usually the advisor and general manager of the family. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound helps women to maintain a happy home by keeping them in good health. Larwill, Ind.

I felt badly about four years and could not do my work as it should have been done. I saw Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advertised so much and it did so many people good that I began to take it myself. I am feeling fine now and everyone tells me that they never saw me looking so well. I live on a farm, do all my work, and have three little girls to take care of. I am recommending this medicine to my friends and know it will help them." Mrs. Herbert Long, R. R.

Official report says that the naval economy plan now under way will give every American an extra trip to the movies. But do we have to go? From the photographs of Princess Mary's wedding which have reached this country, we take it that King Georg really was one of the party. We seem to catch a slight glimpse of his eyebrows just back of the queen's left shoulder. There is no doubt that Queen Mary was at the wedding. In spite ef slack times in other directions, there is said to be a fine run of shad this spring. The crape-hangers ought to do something about that and see that it doesn't happen again.

The Passing

WE have our moments of DEPRESSION about the dear old ladies WHO drive electrics as they LIMBER down the wrong side of THE. street and negotiate the turns IN their own independent and paralyzingway when we feel that all we can CONSCIENTIOVSLY say for them is that AS far we know they never DROVE when under the INFLUENCE of liquor. NEARLY every man knows that he IS not so much better than other folks

BUT he is not always WILING to admit it. SOLOMON was a great PARAGRAPHER and we certainly have NO desire to detract from his WELL earned reputation as such but IT has always seemed to us THAT the old boy overlooked a good bet IN not letting us know WHAT the neighbor women SAID about the Queen of Sheba. THERE are many kinds of fools AND there is the man WHO draws his money out of ' THE 'bank to beat the other fellow's game. JUDGING by the way they cam-ouflage THEIR ages it must be a sin for a SINGLE girl to be thirty years old.

THE heart of the eminent Kansas City DENTIST who advises his FELLOW practitioners always to KEEP the patient in good humor IS evidently In the right place. BUT we wonder how be does it WHEN he feels obliged TO kill a nerve. IT seems to be entirely human TO desire that lower prices BE applied to every business but our own. WHY is it that a girl who CAN'T sing insists on demonstrat-ing THE fact every time sheGETS an opportunity? THE real burdens of life ARE pretty evenly divided AFTER all in this old vale of tears AND laughter irrespective of wealth OR social position and we SUPPOSE it is no easier for a coal operator's wife to make her household ACCOUNTS balance on the first of the MONTH than it is for an editor's. AN honest man may find HIS life monotonous at times BUT he does not need to DODGE every time a POLICEMAN turns a corner.
