Vice will reign in the Calumet region just as long as the authorities permit vice to reign. Nobody ever heard of vice quitting until it was forced to quit. It is not built that way. When it isn't forced to quit there is something rotten in Denmark. Take the . city of Gary for instance. Conditions there are intolerable. They are such that no self-respecting newspaper in the- business of selling news could any longer afford to ignore them. Complaints have been pouring into the, offices of this newspaper for some time about immoral conditions in Gary and other places.' The subscribers of a newspaper have a right to expect the news and truthful news about the moral conditions in the community in which they live.- If the newspapers do not give it to them where are they to get it? If the press and pulpit do not expose immorality flow is it to be exposed. It has even come to this newspaper that a continued silence would indicate that it was getting paid for its silence.

Well there are those who are profiting out of Tice but this newspaper does not propose to i:ave it said that it enjoys a share in the harvest of vicious immorality be it moonshine selling, gambling or prostitution. We do not believe that the decent lawabiding

people in Gary, and they are in the powerful majority, will ever stand for an immoral wideopen town and that the authorities would wink at the brazen defiance of law and order there is astonishing. The inmates of the underworld openly charge that they are paying for protection and the people want to know who is getting it. If The Times can get the truth they shall know it. These stories may not make pleasant reading for officialdom but it has the remedy in its own hands. Vice must go. The statement has been made that the- foreigners demand a wide-open town. It is not our information that the cities of the Calumet region were built so that the foreigner could have a place to raise hell and transplant Europe's immoralities to these shores. If the, foreign element does not want law and order let it hurry back where it came from. Other cities do not pander to the moral obliquities of the foreign born, why

PREVENTING BUSINESS FAILURES. An experiment which may result in a stabilizing effect on business generally is being made by the National Wholesale Men's Furnishing association. The aim is to prevent failures among retail dealers through systematic extension of aid to those verging on financial embarrassment who are found to be capable of rehabilitation. The association is informed whenever a retailer begins to fall behind in meeting his obligations. Thereupon a questionnaire is sent inviting him to make a complete statement of his condition, the local business situation and other circumstances which may enable formation of opinion respecting the possibilities 'of saving him. Thus before he has become utterly discouraged or been thrust into. bankruptcy the wholesalers', life saving crew is on the way to his rescue. After a study of the case, if it appears the man is qualified for the business he is in and he has not sunk too far toward failure, plans are devised for restoring his business to normal. Then beneficial effects of stabilizing one branch of trade by this or some other means would extend outside the single circle. It would result in course of time in establishing business in the most competent hands. Furthermore, proving successful as it is said to be doing, it would be copied by other trades with the result that we should witness a general strengthening of the country's business structureA For though there be no apparent connection between widely differing lines of trade, they are all linked factors in one whole. One cannot be adverselv

affected without the others bearing a share of the burden. There is nothing new about the principle. It is simply the principle of saving frpm destruction for the nominal benefit of one that in which a great many have a stake.

FAMOUS ISADORA TO COME TO U. S. ' SOON WITH HUBBY

FOUR MILLION SAVED DAILY "More business in government" is saving the people $4,000,000 a day. The cost of running the Government for the present fiscal year will be about one and a half billions less than for 1921; due almost entirely to the retrenchments of the Republican Administration, the discharge of superflous Federal employees, and a coordination in purchases among the various departments.

SPEAKS ON PROSPERITY

IXDIAXAPOLIS, IND., June 6 Prosperity cannot come to American business until the "clutter of uneconomic and anit-economic legislation"that has been put on the Btatute books, especially during the last six years, has been cleared away declared Albert J. Eeveridge, republican nominee for United States senator of Indiana, in an address be

fore the conventTon of the National

Association of Credit Men at its opening session here today. "The ancient Sherman law should be fundamentally changed or repeal d altogether," he asserted, "and rail roads should be freed from the 'wel

ter' of hampering legislation which !

they are encumbered. "The scheme for the confiscation of business capital under the guise of tax legislation whTtii was hastily Improvised" In the hectic days of the war. must be done away with, declared Beveridge, or at the very least be "elementally modified."
