We understand that Mr. MacKibbin has had orders to go on with the care, providing he could find the law to back It up, and it leads us back to the old proposition that, if there is no such law, Mr. Houlihan ha had a nrross injustice done him, of which Mr. MacKibbin ousht to be ashamed as his succeysor, to be the beneficiary.

GETTING TOGETHER. An industrial association is being tried out in Cleveland. The membership Includes employers and tmploys both. They have an equal voice in the management of the association, earn group having 25 representatives on the governing hoard. One of the chief ideas back of the organization is the elimination of class distinctions. Kmployers who were inclined to regard their employes as mere cogs in the burners machine will find out that they are human beings with feelings and ambitions and troubles like everybody else. Kmployts. too, have something to Uarn about the "bo" in this regard. He is not a remote, being who experiences no hard work or disappointment or trouble of any sort. He is human, too. when prejudice, fear and injustice are eliminated. This winter the association is carrying out an educational program. Members get together on Tuesday evenings and listen to short talks on all kinds of subject. They rantre from the, business man of today, labor-saving methods, mechanical problems, cost systems, etc., on through discipline, labor problems and how to Increase production. The lectures are followed by brief open discussion in which honestly open-minded men, whether employers or employes, can really get at the other fellow' viewpoint and may even occasionally get new ideas and iiffht on the tiitlieult situation" that confront industry today. If it brings about the. desired results, that sort of industrial club should become popular.

BUSINESS BOOM IN THE SPRING. The business outlook is better than it appears on the

Mirface. While showing a tendency to exaggerate present dulnes?. business men are already looking ahead to better times. If advertising plans mean anything and hey are probably the bet criterion there is the industrial und commercial revival is not far uhead. Advertising men familiar with the national Held say that large advertisers are making unusual plans for extensiv publicity campaigns in the spring. This testimony is corroborated hy a statement from Richard Kpillane, a business expert well known for his writings in Commerce and Finance. He tells of one large monthly magazine which recently had $s'.l'.(!(jö of net advertising In hand for one of its spring issues, and expected to make it an even $l,0u0,oto before the forms closed. That Is said So be the greatest amount of advertising vor printed in any publication. .Mr. Splllane's contlusion is. "AJ ertlse." It ! undoubtedly good advu-e. Shrewd business men e.re planning to i'vertise on a big scale, because they believe prosperity is coming. If enough business men leli've that, a ml follow their example, there will be o uoubt about it.

"OUT OF WORK AS USUAL." A city which has about 75,000 men unemployed reports that one-third of them are building workers "usually out of work at this time of yeaj." Here is a fact which is not specifically responsible for the big unemployment problem now confronting the nation, but which servet to complicate a bad situation. It is a fact perfectly familiar to everybod', and yet one which nobody ever seems to do anything about. ' Surely it in not inevitable that men in the building trades and other "seasonal" trades should be employed only a part of the year. Surely it would be possible to work out a system whereby painters, plasterers, carpenters, etc., would be able to engage in productive and remunerative effort throughout the whole 12 months. They might be enabled to work at their own trades through the winter by means of industries purposely adapted to them in their own communities; they might be transported to other sections of the country where their labor is needed they might vary their occupations during the "ofT" months and make a living by Komc adaptation of their skill to other lines of work. These are off-hand suggestions, but surely not void of merit. Others might readily occur to anyone. It seems strange that neither the labor unions most directly concerned, nor the employers next concerned, nor the economists who are so full of clever ideas about theoretical matters, do anything to solve this ever-re

curring practical problem of seasonal unemployment.

' THE SICK MULE. The world wishes the best of luck to the German national assembly at Weimar. Not that the world is much concerned with Germany's prosperity and happiness. German brutality and arrogance have driven the good will from the hearts of other nations. But for the sake of civilization itself, and for the sake of righting the very wrongs perpetrated by Germany in this war, it is essential that her nation-building enterprise should succeed. It is only from an orderly government that the allies may hope to obtain compensation for the crimes committed and the damages done by imperial Germany. It will not be possible to withdraw the American troops from Germany until the country has evolved a stable and dependable jrovernment. The allies all have the same benevolent interest in Germany today that a teamster has in a pick mule. The quicker Germany recovers politically, the quicker she can get to work for the allies.

Asst. Chief of Tollce Cassidy is what is known as a "pictureless" man. That is to sa)-, the assistant chief never gets his picture taken, no matter what the pressure brought to bear on him may be. For 3S years he has been in the police business, and never in all that time has he fallen to the "lure of the camera." And that isn't all. The assistant chief declares that there never will be brought to bear sufficient pressure to induce him to pose for a pictural likeness of himself. In fact, the assistant chief Is unusually shy In regard to picture perrons who are anxious to get the exact reflection of some one else. Whenever it looks like the camera man is about to get in his work, the assistant chief beats a hasty retreat. His name has been a household word in South liend police-circles for years and years, but the oldest inhabitant i.s unable to remember having seen Asst. Chief Cassidy's picture in the papers or anywhere elso for that matter. He simply will not stand still long enough to be focused. He prides himself on being one man in the community whose likeness is never displayed to the public. The other afternoon a photographer was taking views of an interesting scene in which members of the police department were prominent in the foreground. Mr. Cassidy was there before the photographer set up his camera. The camera man believed that the view would be more complete with Mr. Cassidy in it. but the assistant chief thought differently. When everything was all set for taking the picture, Mr. Cassidy was several blocks away, walking rapidly. It has been pointed out to the assistant chief that when he finishes his work on the mortal coil, and he has depart?'! for unknown regions.

there should he something left be

hind by him so that how he looked in life could be recalled. At such

times, the assistant chief becomes slightly pensive for a fraction of a second, and then he resumes his us

ual demeanor and again absolutely refuses to get in range of the camera, rv j r

NOW AS TO THAT GRAHAM CASE. Tli' decision of the supreme court in the contempt rnse against The News-Times editor, reversing the superior court, and justifying this paper in its contentions

Other Editors Than Outs

GFltMAX COLONICS. (Indianapolis News.) Mathias Krzberger, one of the German armistice commissioners, thinks that Germany ought to have her colonies back, and argues that she is entitled to them under the program laid down more than a year ago by I'res't Wilson, which has been accepted by both the central and the entente powers. Krzberger says: "We understand it has been proposed to internationalize German colonies under the administration of the league of nations. We ought to repel categorically such a proposition, or claim the same treatment for the colonies of all other powers. Pres't Wilson's program gives Germany an inviolable right to her colonial territories," Here is what the president said: "A free, open-minded and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty the interests of the populations concerned must have rs;ual weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined." How this can be constructed as giving "Germany an inviolable right to her colonial territories" is hard to see. Uather the principle laid down excludes all possi

bility of returning to her those colonies. For the first

consideration is the welfare of the inhabitants of the

wih reference thereto, tv-rves to remind us that Mr.

A. C (Jraham, lepo-! republican "boss" as an Incident colonies. "The interests of the populations concerned,"

of the affair, has not as yet paid back to St. Joseph

county that $1,4 0. and better, that was illegally paid him for Lincoln highway "cannon-mouth" interviews. That this estimable gentleman was a prime mover in the institution of the contempt case, probably to revenue in advance any exposure of his illegal collection of theso fees, and pov jl'ic prevent such exposure, is no longer a matter of question. We wish to suggest therefore. In this connection, to Mr. Stuart MacKibbin, county attorney, that having had the matter in hand now since the first of last June, it must be about timo to proceed; otherwise, if he means to follow the path of his predecessor, condoning th. litter's misdeeds in the matter, the clock might as well be turned backward. Dismissal of I. J. Houlihan from the county attorneyship, and the appointment of Mr. MacKibbin, was done ostensibly at leaM, on the part of the county commis- . s-m .a

sioners. to nave in is uranam matter taken care of. We protested at th time that Mr. Houlihan should not be made the "goat" in a performance, in which the commissioners and county council were partners, and Mr. Graham the chief beneficiary. That Mr.. Houlihan engineered the Graham employment, and the actions of the commissioners and council In paying him. Instead of attending to the work himself, was reprehensible, but If it was sufficiently so to justify his dismissal. It is scarcely less so with his successor, not to attempt to recover for the county, the amount so paid out. Mr. Houlihan has been done a gross injustice if there is no case againMr. Graham, justified in law, and reserving of pro.-ecuti'n. However, there is such a case It Is bein held tip for rome other reason than that. If the old Li-p.irtis.in combination has been expanding, then the situation -can be understood, but without It, excuses are indeed hard to find. Action, and definite determined action, on the part of the county attorney with the commissioners' backing, would do a great deal to remove the suspicion. There can !. no partnership between any private individual and the county ofiiciuls in pushing this claim, particularly in the face of tho delav that has already

said the president, "must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government, whose title is to be determined." Doubtless if he were speaking now he

would say that those interests should have controlling

weight. The settlement has been such as to insure good

government to the people in question. For the league of nations will have the sovereignty, and the power to insure good government. There would have been no

such thing" had the people been turned back to Ger

many. Frzberger is ridiculously wrong. The guaranty

which he finds in the president's words is not tn them

rights. They are enmieq 10 nave inese. uermany nai

"MANNFJIS MAKFJTH MAX. A famous Jewih rabbi was clinging to a strap in a car one day and beside him stood a woman with a child In her arms. ' Right in front of her a man kept his seat. The rabbi stared reproachfully at that man. The man resented the stare, and said, angrily, "You look as if you wanted to eat me." "I can't eat you," aid the rabbi. "I'm a Jew, and my religion forbids. There's one sort of thing we Jews never eat." The man was a hog. He was a determined hog. Hut he was at the same time a strangely unbusinesslike hog. He held onto a comparatively small thing his personal comfort. By so doing he threw away a vory big and Important thing other people's good opinion. Hoggishness doesn't look well. "Wuxtry! Wuxtry!" cried a facetious newsboy in a Boston trolley car. "All about the scandal. Twenty women standing up and a man sitting down." An old proverb tells us that "man

ners maketh man," and they cer-j tainly make the man onlookers see. I But that is the least of it. They j make the man himself. They are; character builders. By the same token they are character wreckers. Men who force women to stand seldom begin by being hogs. They . begin by being a little heedless, a,

little self-absorbed. Then, awakening to a sense of chivalry, they say. "Oh. let George do it: I'm tired'" From that they pass on to the stage where they can say. "These women have only been shopping for fun"; and finally to the stage where a mar. pays, "I've paid for this seat.

and I intend to keep it. no matter i

how manv women stand." At last the complete and perfect hog. Manners maketh man. Good manners make good men. Psychology . . . . a ml.

proves it in tne lanoraiory. ine army knows it. That is w:hy tho army attaches such importance to the salute. By saluting their officers, men become respectful. By saluting the flag, they become splendally loyal. We Americans are timid about manners afraid of seeming effusive. In an essay on the father of his country, a brilliant humorist has declared, "G. Wash, never slopped over." The French have no such timidity: all their friendly, genial, warm, delightful impulses find expression in their manners and the manners react on French character, making it more friendly, more genial, warmer and more delightful. You can afford to learn from the French. When impulse bhls you do a courteous thing, do it. It will make you kinder. When impulse bids you pay a compliment, pay it. It will make you more generous. When impulse bids you express good will, express it. It will make you friendlier. We think a lot about the effect of our manners upon others. We ought to. Yet, have we not too often failed to consider their effect upon ourselves? For better or for worse, they are making us. (Copyright, 1919.)

WAITING IX)H WILSON. (Indiana- Dally Times.) Despite all the fuss made about Woodrow Wilson

fomc of it political fuss and some of it honest criticism, political leaders of every party are anxiously waiting on his return to the United States. Republican leaders and

democratic leaders haven't the semblance of a con

siructive policy to meet the labor conditions and the industrial problems of the country. The nearest to a constructive suggestion that has been broached in conKrtsi since the president went away is the one coming from the railroad employes suggesting a cooperative

management for the railroads. There is no need of attempting to disguise the -crI

ousnt-ss of the industrial situation, with determined

strikes on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and a labor surplus growing from week to week. About all that congress has offered thus far Is the gospel of force, which has failed every time it hat "been used from the days of Kgypfs glory to the present. Some of tho

departments in Washington come forward wl,th propo-!

fcitions of merit. Iane s plan for farms for soldiers, and the proposition of a federal home loan bank system, but congress does not appear to be doing anything on them. As a matter of fact Wilson, the despised school teacher, will be welcomed home by both republicans and democrats. The republicans won't be for what Wil-

kun is for, but Wilson, they hope will have a program. A program is useful even when one is against it. As it now is the republicans haven't the courage or lack the brain to formulate a constructive domestic program and democrats are not much better. The hope is In Wilson. Having done his utmost to make the world safe for democracy, it will be up to him whn he gets home, to get the real democratic program

under wav.

Low Shoes are Stylish Now

ALL the fighting during the past year was not on the battle fields of Europe. The struggles of the business world were waged day after day. GJ Wool was needed with which to clothe our soldiers it was also needed for civilian clothes. There was enough for both if none were wasted. The manufacturers of Society Brand Clothes had always made 4 all wool" clothes they refused to lower their standard. With shrewd foresight and business acumen they fought to maintain the high quality of the garments that bore their label. They were successful, with the result that every Society Brand suit or overcoat was made of pure woolen fabrics. As sole distributors of Society Brand Clothes in this vicinity, we are proud of this achievement. The new spring models will soon begin to arrive. . In the meantime we offer all wool suits and overcoats at a reduction of 20 from regular prices.
