i:ronci3ii;.T and iu:roiiM i.i:.(;ri:. "With notice sent to all saloon keepers of Indianapolis by the Indiana Law Enforcement and Reform league, backed by the Indiana I '.rowers' association, that they must conduct their business "strictly according to law," we are inclined, for the 5ikc of rendering them our assistance at least, to take Mr. James C. Kelly, secretary of the league, flt his word, that they "mean business." That our assistance, however, may be more effective, and that our confidence may grow, we trust they will not limit these directions to Indianapolis, but will include South Rend and other cities of the Mate in their program; outh Rend in particular, where one of the gentlemen, high up in th Brewers' association resides. The p. we shall expect him. in his daily Intercourse, to put the "lid" far as possible, on those friends of his who are constantly damning our city administration, which, as the thing now stands, is merely pledged with respect to the lbpior trallic, to do, so far a.s the law will permit, what the Brewers Law Rnforccment and Reform league stands for. There can be no further excuse among the enemies of prohibition for the sinking oT praises to the "open town" in violation of the Proctor law already on our statute books. We never have belie ved that it was necessary to throw down the bars to booze, gambling, and all kinds of ice, in order for a town to prosper, and

we are glad to see these leaders among the liquor men the manufacturers, assuming a somewhat similar ftand. The procram of the league applied to the whole state is all that is needed to answer the question and answer it distinctly. I'urthermore, if the league makes good, it will go a long way toward taking the saloon out of politics except insofar as the prohibition movement is political, and that is all it is, and that is one of the things that have served to make the liquor business obnoxious. Aside from tcing the storm center of vice and the corruption of private morals, that no one dared venture to run for public otfice wltrout saloon Indorsement, has done, pfup,t, much a.s anything to drive pjjic opinion to wanting the business done away with. In more than one Mate, and in riore than one community, it has been at the very foundation of prohibition success. Men have voed to put the saloon out of business, because it w ould put them out of politics, "who cared little or nothing for the other arguments that the prohibitionists put forth. Tills feaiure along with a proverbial disregard for the. law under which tho business is permitted to exist, and the consequent breeding of a disregard for nil In w, has done nwro by a hundredTold to advance the prohibition movement, than the more purely mori.l aspects of it. Men as a rule me lt half so deeply concerned in rendering it impossible for their fellows to make fools of themselves by getting drunk, as they are in having the rules of civil conduct obeyed, by which communities guage their respectability and mutual safety. If something like the Indiana Law Enforcement anil Reform league had taken hold years ago, advanced such a cause, and stood honestly by it, there would never have been a prohibition movement. So le. the league proceed, and let us sec tnw well it proes its sincerity, and while it proceeds, let us shift our contempt to those politicians and vice

cases are chargeable to tobacco." After such a warning, it should take little argument to induce any man who smokes excessively to cut down his tobacco ration, and if he is troubled with a sore mouth to cut it out altogether. Usually the only deterrent from excessive smoking is l5ad nerves. But cancer is worse than nerves.

BLASTING AT THE (i. O. 1 IIOCK or a;i:s. The exquisite hypocrisy on exhibition at Indianapolis, displayed by the republican Mate machine endeavoring to "mollycoddle" the progressives by plaintive attacks on the state primary law, pretending to want them to participato in the republican nominations, has had a monkey-wrench thrown into its machinery. William Allen White, the celebrated progressive, who became famous years ago by his editorials on "What is the Matter with Kansas," has this bit of intereing comment on Indiana politics published in the July number of the Metropolitan magazine: In Indiana the republican party is in control of tho Fairbanks machine. Mr. Fairbanks may conclude to be a presidential candidate. Jim Watson, who was best man at the Taft funeral in Chicago in 1012, has been shunted out of the race for senator by the good old standpat promise of "something equally good." the something being the nomination for vice president after the boys have gone around the track a fewexhibition heats with Mr. Fairbanks. Jim Goodrich, who has been a carburetor In the Fairbanks machine for years, is slated for governor, and Harry New is on the books for senator.

Tday the politics of Ohio. Jllinol? nnd Indiana the republican rolitics is reverting to type; the type being the sort of men who went to Cuba to loot, not the srt that went to Panama to serve. The republicans of those states are advocating no forward-looking measures, are promising no alleviating program for the cure of unemployment, for the betterment of the environment of he poor; thev aro clamoring for a high tariff to fill the bellies and stop the mouths of the poor, while the politicians fatten on the jobs that come with republican ascendancy, and the tariff benetlciaries tilch pennies from the millions. It is a game to make the forty thieves blush in shame at their moderation. "What's the matter with Indiana?"

Hi3 explanation is:

There are two classes of men you can't trust, the sick and the fellows who are cracked. I can do nothing until the legislature makes it possible to classif the men. We must divide the- 1 according to their possibilities. Some of them must be kept in a stockade. On account of their sickness or some twist in their brains they can't be trusted. Too long hay pathology been confused with morals. The sooner penal authorities realize that the well man Is a good man, the better it will be for all society. Few people are hopelessly wicked because they want to be. There is usually some hidden force at work making them abnormal. They are "sick or cracked." Prison reform demands that there bo adequate classilication of mental and physical types. Prison elimination demands that children be looked after in early life yo they shall have no chance to grow up "sick or cracked" and therefore unfit to be trusted. Sound minds in sound bodies make for good morals. A man of the quality which recognizes this even among criminals ought to be given his chance to carry out his ideas.

FIKST-CLASS PHILOSOPHY. An actress, who acknowledges a weight of 2 27 pounds and who is delighting New York crowds with her dancing and singing, issues this, as a

comfort to fat females: Life's too short to worry about figures. Accept the conditions gracefully, and get away with it. This is about a ton of A No. 1 philosophy in a nutshell. The Slough of Despond is full of really fine females cast down by worry over their shapes. Iast year fashion decreed the globular, figure-S figure, and every female follower of the raging style went to mourning over her points where the bones showed through. This year, the sylph is it, and tho fat ones cut out of their menu everything save the anti-fat nostrums. And so it goes. Today, you've got to be a pair of tongs and. tomorrow a crook-necked squash. It's Just one darned campaign after another to peel off or put on something to make you look what you ain't. It's very foolish. The whelo philosophy of tho thing lies in the simple advice of that New York 227poundcr don't worry, accept what you've got, and get away with it! Relieve us, you can get away with it if you will.

If we didn't eat what was provided we didn't tat and got a licking thrown in for good measure. NOWADAYS the chief anxiety of the parent on the mother's side is to find something the children will eat. ' NK of the principal functions of movie ushers is paging mothers and nurses of babies left reposing in their cab in the lobbies. The circumstance is a tribute to the absorbing interest of the pictures which have the power to make the mother forget her young. THERE is a women in Kansas City who has a noble but hopeless mission to which she is sacrificing her life. "I am prepared." she says, "to marry my seventh husband. I expect to keep up my search until I find the ideal man." No. Wo Think No More of Money Than of Our Right Eye. (G. M. Trcvelyan in' London Chronicle.) For my own part traveling on behalf of Serbia, I was amazed at America's generosity to a little country with which she had no political or commercial connection. When it became known that the American doctors sent out to Serbia were dying of typhus, there was a positive competition among the doctors and students of the universities to go out and share the risk. The parents of some of these lads consulted me about Serbia, its merits and its needs, and gravely consented to their boys' departure to the danger zone. Anyone who-says that "America is thinking only of the dollars" is making a cruel mistake. THE latest pie machine turns out 1,00 an hour, and yet when you call for apple the waiter invariably says, "apple all gone prune or peach?" IF your cherry tree hangs over your neighbor's yard you have a legal problem which the courts have never definitely settled. We have it from high authority that a man has no right to plant a tree upon his land to overhang and shade his neighbor. The neighbor has no right to molest the tree. The man owning the tree has no right to go upon his neighbor's ground to gather the fruit nor has he any right in the branches over his neighbor's ground. The fallen fruit

PROHIBITION AM) LEGISLATION. State-wide prohibition went into effect in Georgia on July 1. and on July 2 the Georgia house of representatives established a new rule as follows: No member shall be permitted on the lloor of the house while in an intoxicated condition, and the doorkeeper is directed to keep a close watch and eject any member who is intoxicated.

WILSON'S POLICY VINDICATED. (Grand Rapids News.) The wisdom of Pres't Wilson's forceful policy of upholding the rights of American shipping is becoming every day more apparent. What a few weeks ago was looked upon us an imminent danger of war, is now considered only a diplomatic muss that will be settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. The president had the right end of the argument and he exploited the rights of American shipping so vigorously that our national dignity has been preserved and the friendship of Germany has been maintained. Half-way measures would have been futile. That Germany Is yielding to the president's insistent contentions that submarines should comply with tho rules of warfare on merchant vessels is the conclusion which has been I cached by many administration otliclals in Washington. The recent attack upon the British steu-mer Ar-

have twice been turned down by England. One thing is certain, and that is that Germany will not givo up her submarine warfare against English shipping, and this was not requested by Pres't Wilson. Aside from offering safety to American passengers, Germany's submarine program will probably not be changed in any particular. Much is said to depend upon Great Britain's attitude toward submarine warfaro and sea warfare in general. The sinking of the Armenian, or rather tho manner of the sinking, seems tp strengthen tho nosition of the United States. Tho submarine acted as any cruiser would have acted under the circumstances when tho ri$;ht of search was denied. The Armenian was carrying munitions of war for Germany's enemies and was entitled to no more than the ordinary courtesies of war which, in this case, were extended by tho Germans. That Pres't Wilson's policy is bearing fruit is very apparent, and it should ho a sourco of gratilication to the American people that. In lutuie.

manders. The submarine attacking the Armenian gave .mple warning. and Capt. Trlckey of the Armenian admits that he defied the right of tho submarine to stop his vessel and sought safety in flight. In this event there is no cause for argument on tho part of the American government and none will be made. The submarine fired two shots across the bow of tho Armenian, but tho captain refused to stop his vessel and submit to search. In the rejoinder by the imperial German govtrnment to Pres't Wilson's first note the following paragraph occurred: "The imperial government is unable to consider English merchant vessels any longer as 'undefended territory' in the zone of maritime war designated by the admiralty staff of the imperial German navy; the German commanders are consequently no longer In a position to obseive tho rules of capture otherwise unusual and with which they invariably complied before this."

To advocate a more democratic procedure of amending the federal constitution, the committee on tho federal constitution has been organized with headquarters at 7 Schermorhorn St., Brooklyn, N. Y. Indiana in represented on the committee by John A. Iipp of Indianapols and Frank H. Streightoff of Greencastle. Seba Eldridge, organizer for the committeo, has just issued a booklet setting forth the needs for a moro democratic procedure in bringing" about changes in the constitution of the United States. The committee declares tho people at this time have no proper control over their fundamental law. The belief of Eldridpe is that our institutions, n.s a consequence, do not reflect the will of the people, but do reflect the will of forces that are opposed against the people's true Interest. Two amendments have been made to the federal constitution in recent years, and thoso who stand on the old system urge that this goes tc prove tho people are able to alter their organic law. It is pointed out by the committee on tho federal constitution that the history of tho income tax amendment and the amendment to permit a direct vote for Unitec States senators go to indicate there is need for a chf nge of procedure in bringing about amendments. It was IS years after the income tax law was declared to be unconstitutional that the people finally pot the constitution so amended as t.o provide for an income tax. It was only when many ftatcs had adopted indirect means for electing their senators by popular vote, and after all citizens were agreed In favor of the direct election of senators that
