HURRYING TO THE TALL AND UNCUT. Vice in Gary is scurrying to cover; in other parts of the county it is hoisting distress signals. News is breaking fast. A new onslaught on prostitution by the East Chicago police; raids on twelve disreputable resorts in Gary; call for the Criminal Court grand jury for Friday of this week; Judge Cleveland's striking arraignment of the authorities, and threats against The Times by the overlords of vice and lawlessness. The last is neither here nor there the expose is only just begun. This newspaper has no knowledge of the reason why Judge Martin Smith called the grand jury or what his instructions to the inquisatorial body will be. It is possible that no mention may be made to the grand jurors of the vice situation in Gary, but we believe that a fearless jury could dig up some facts as to prostitution, gambling, slot machines, whiskey selling and other law violations in cities of the Calumet region. The curiosity of the taxpayers of Lake county has been whetted. The people seek information. They want to know a lot of things. They want to know if it is true as charged by inmates of the underworld that vice in Gary is pretested. They want to know if it has been protected officially, who is collecting and getting money from vice operators. They want to know about the wholesale slot machine business. Thay want to know why the fish resorts along the lake front are brazenly permitted to violate the law: They want to know why the state prohibition enforcement officer, Bert Morgan, ignores the conditions at the fish resorts. They want to know how it happens when these things up and down the county have become so notorious that the sheriff at Crown Point, with his deputies here and there, have heard nothing of them. It is quite possible that the people of Lake county who elect county and city officials

FORD KNOWS THE TERMS. Henry Ford is trying to arouse a flagging public interest in his attempt to get control of Muscle Shoals as a practical gift from the Government. He sees the sinister influence of Wall street against him. Declaring that what he has done thus far to secure Muscle Shoals is but a "skirmish," Mr. Ford says he will exert every resource at his command to keep the property out of the hands of Wall street. There is nothing to get excited about. All Mr. Ford has to do is to accept the terms laid down by Congress as the minimum the taxpayers must receive in return for Muscle Shoals. And it will not require all of Ford's resources or even a substantial part of them.

M SOLDIERS GIVEN PREFERENCE. In frantic fault-finding activities directed against the present administration at Washington the Democratic press, and some of the more irresponsible members of the disconcerted minority in congress, have charged discrimination against ex-service men in the appointment of postmasters. The charge has been revived periodically, jalthough in, each case the allegations of unfairness to former soldiers were shown up in all their partisan crudeness and falsity. Now comes the postoffice department with the irrefutable facts and the administration's foes are, as usual, effectually silenced. From March 4, 1921, 'to May 20, 1922, the department announces, 1654 ex-service men were certified as eligible following civil service examinations

to fill postmasterships. Although in many in

stances three former soldiers were placed on the eligible list for a single postoffice, and in a

great many, and in a great many more, too, 873

service men were appointed. When it is remembered that in all of these civil service examinations in which former soldiers made the eligible grade many candidates without war records were also entered, it is not hard to see that all the discrimination was in favor of the former soldiers. Facts are the great foe of the Harding adrinistration's critics. Allegations of this and that, are made boisterously for a time, then the facts are made available and the muckrakers are forced to turn their activities into different channels, only to encounter a similar denouement The charges of discrimination against service meh in appointment of postmasters is a case in point.

FAREWELL! AND THAT GOES DOUBLE. 1 Mr. H. W. Nevmson, celebrated writer, has toured America and gone ome. In a long "Farewell to America" printed ia the London "Nation," he says: , . "Good-bye to outside staircases 'for escape from fire! Good-bye to crappy suburbs littered with rubbish of old boards, tin pails, empty cans and boots! Good-bye to standardized villages and small towns, alike in litter, in ropes of electric wires along the streets, in clanking trolley, in chapels, stores, railway stations, main streets and isolated wooden houses flung at random ever the country! Good-bye to miles of advertisement imploring me in ten-foot letters to eat somebody's codfish (no bones!.), or emoke somebody's cigarets ('they satisfyl'). or sleep with mi-ocence in the 'Faultless nightgown'! "Good-bye to the long trains where one smokes in a lavatory and tleeps at night upon a shelf screened with heavy green curtains and heated with stifling air, while over your head or under your back tho baby yells and the mother tosses moanin,-. until at last you reach your siopping-off place, and a semi-negro sweeps you down with a littla broorn as in a supreme rite of worship! "Good-bye to the land of a new language in growth, or split infinitives and cross-bred words: the land where a dinner jacket is a tuxedo. a spittoon a 'cuspidor; where your opinion is called your 'reaction and where vamp,' instead of meaning an improvised accomplishment to a song, means a dangerous female!
