NEW 0UT-D00R RANGE HAS BEEN SECURED Quartermaster (General Davis Will Visit City Sunday in Interests of .Militia and Itille Club.

According to present prospects all arrangements probably will be perfected for the outdoor work of the Civilians' Uifle club by the middle of May. I. A. Davis, quartermaster general for the tato of Indiana, will be in the city Sunday and Monday for the purpose of attending- to the details in connection with the equipment of the new outdoor rifle range. The completing of the range will probably take two weeks after which time everything will be in ieadiness for ritle practice on the part of the members of the militia and of the rifle club which organizations will have joint use of the range. The new range which has been secured is located nortli of the cit,y about a half a mile from the end of the St. Mary's street car line and just across the river from the old range which was located below the bluff at tie Klvervlew cemetery. It is thought by Capt. Calvert of the quartermaster's corps and Maj. l'rey rmuth. who have been attending to the local end of the work of securing the range, that all that now remains to put the r?nge in operation will be Installation of concrete pits and the targets. It is expected that this work can be started immediately after the visit of the quartermaster general. The expectation of the oflicers of the rifle club is that the rifles and ammunition, which have been sent for, will he here by fiie time that the lange is in readiness. The purpose is to start active work as soon as possible.

Put he forgot to take the same precaution as to himself until the gun crew told him a thing or two. At the outset he did not fully understand why. He did after the lirst salvo was fired. Furthermore they tested his courage by telling him that it was in just such a place, where a whole gun crew of the "(Je-orgia" and 2'J men of the "Missouri" we're annihilated in an instant and no one ever kne w how or why. No one ever would know. Put the.v were heralded as heroes and their families received pensions. "However," continued the captain of the crew, "why take the chance just to tak pictures?" Put "where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise" and so regardless of all such warnings, the camera man stood ready to risk his life in filming the scene just as a surgeon stands- ready to risk his life on some experiment. It proved to be a harrowing experience for him as the concussion threw him off his feet with such force as to render him unconscious for a long time. He was confined in the hospital for two weeks a nervous wreck. He is still hard of hearing and may never recover fully; but the pictures he seemed are a triumph. Naturally they are spectacular. The scenes will be presented at the Oliver for three days starting Friday evening with matinees Saturday and Sunday by Lyman H. Howe, by authority of the- secretary of the navy, Josephus Daniels.

Mr. Prian is to retire from the stage to open a modern dance school in New Veirk city and Mr. Cawthorn will appear in ; nother musical comedy.

EAD.'NG BRAND OF THE WORLD

Prohibition Not a Moral Issue By James C. Kelly Prohibition promises improved morals. It agrees to promote temperance, but right here in Indiana where it is being tried it has failed to live up to its contract. Our so-called "dry" cities not only do not compare favorably with our license cities, but on the other hand, official figures prove that the license cities are about one-half as immoral or as intemperate in the use of liquors as the "dryJ ' communities. To prove this contention I have selected twelve county seat towns, none of them having a population of over 10,000 or less than 6,000. Six of these cities were "dry" and six of them had the license system in 1913. Any one of them is typical of the Indiana county seat city. I have taken from the report of the State Statistician for the year 1913 the total number of arrests for misdemeanors or crimes in the courts of these cities and also the total number of arrests for intoxication. Further, in order to base the comparison upon the exact population, I have calculated the number of arrests for intoxication to each 1,000 inhabitants in these cities. The following figures are official and speak for themselves:

Average number of arrests for intoxication to each 1,000 population 8.1

If prohibition is amoral proposition, why are the city courts of Bloomington, Bedford and other "dry" cities almost twice as busy as those of the license cities mentioned above? If prohibition means temperance, why were there 694 cases of intoxication in these six "dry" cities and only 393 in the license cities. Prohibition'may be an experiment, but Indiana cities can profitably examine the result in communities where it is being tried before submitting to the professional reformers who would force it upon them. Adv. Note: Figures quoted above taken from the official report of the Indiana Department of Statistics.
