vast system-could scarcely be con-
structed Taken rightly and guarded
properly, this stream with its mighty floods,
to clean out and carry off to the river the
heavy sewage of great city, would be one of
the greatest guardians to health.
But the Doctor thinks that if we could
only get Pogue's run into Pleasant run,
then indianapolis north and Indianapolis
south would be one" 1t certainly did not
occur to the Doctor that already quite a sec
ton of indianapolis is south of Pleasant run.
With the added stream it conld not be easily
covered, but must be crossed. And as the
Belt road, in less than fifty years, will be
much in the way of the city, so would be
this double creek. Though not prophet nor
the son of a prophet we venture the prediction
that it will be far in the future that the city
will venture to any appreciable extent be-
yond that awful stream called Fall creek.
And this flood has given West Indianapolis
a lasting quietus. The conclusion of the
whole matter is that Indianapolis in the
near future must go south and east 1t

constrained to think and say that those pio-

capital of a great State, though they were
wise men, yet did they build better than

The People Must Vote.
To the Editor OF the indianapolis Jouruar

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Jouruar
The temperance people of Indiana have de-
manded the privilege of voting on the ques-
ton of prohibition. lie Republican party
by its fair and pronounced position last year
increased this demand at least an hundred
fold. These temperance people in the main
are in favor OF any and all laws that the
whisky league is opposed to- but submission
of the question of prohibition is the goal
and there will be no compromise You were
right in saying last fall that the temperance
issue saved the party from being defeated by
10000. For the party to take a backward
step on this question now will bring de-
feat of 10000 at the next general election.

What to Do with Pogue's Run.

10 the EntOr OF the Indianapolis JOtunaE
Thanks are due Dr. J. w. Hervey for his
solicitude for the welfare of indianapolis, as
shown in his biennial communication with
reference 10 turning Pogue's run into Pleas
ant run. We think, however, that in his
care for the city he is not sufficiently careful
of the rights of very many outside the city.
And, DR.. Hervey, we protest that, ii practi-
good policy We living on and in the vicinity
of Pleasant run, think we have already, espe-
clally in time of flood, enough water for all
ordinary and practical purposes.
We of the country, because we could. not
help ourselves, are constantly suffering the
inhction of BELT road" for the relief of
the city; but to have our Pleasant run"
transformed into a raging "belt river"
though for the relief of the city, would be a
little more than we could bear And we
are disposed most desperately to oppose
such union of the streams, not only on the
ground of self-defense, but also on the
ground that such union would be unnatural
and unreasonable. The channel, banks and
bottoms of Pleasant run were never made
for such volume of water. Moreover In
dianapolis could not get rid of Pogue's run
in the way proposed
A portion of the water might be diverted,
but Pogue's run would still remain. This
stream has its wide slopes and very many
little tributaries, and a vast amount OF water
thus collected could never be diverted with
out remodeling the structure of these
grounds. These waters must be provided
for, at any rate. Let Pogue's run have what
God has given it, and let the city "give it
room according to its strength" and it will
be boon or blessing to the city, and not a
curse. Let it be-as others have proposed
great leading sewer of the city.
But for such a stream of living water a
sew er so yaluable-oue of the centers of a

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Prohibition by Steps.

To the Editor Oh the Indianapolis journal:
The Journal quotes the Columbus Repub-
lican as saying of liquor suppression: "If
that happy condition is over reached it will
be by successive steps, and not at single
bound" 1 know of no one so "fanatical" as
to refuse to take these steps who really de-
sires to accomplish this purpose. We took
the first step IN that direction in 1855, and
were so successful in the preceding canvass,
Notwithstanding that the entire liquor in
terest and the Democratic party (see their
platform of 1854 were opposed to us, we car
ried the general election by a major
ity of 1923, and began the good
work under favorable auspices; but
the Supreme Court thrust us back on the
preteXt that our work was not constitu-
tional. For twenty-eight years we have,
step by step, been advancing backward on
the line of a license protection to the liquor
curse, and every step we take in ''license"
is a step away from the greatest blessing"
about which the Republican talks with so
much good sense. In twenty-eight years,
under license restriction the liquor power
has organized itself in every county of the
State, and made connection with the National
league through its State organ, and the
whole has become a mighty money force,
arrogantly debating party platforms,
court decisions and State legislation
A license creates a privileged class
a monopoly of lucrative business which
brings organization and money Take an OBJ
servation, and calculate our political latitude
and ascertain where the deceitful breeze of
license has drifted us to in twenty-eight
years. How many such steps will it take to
bring us to prohibition? License accrues to
the benefit of the seller only. If anyone
else is benefited, who is it? But license has
not proved an unmixed evil 1t has taught
us some important lessons, if we will be will
ing learners First of these is that license re-
strictions do not restrict; and second, no
license law has ever been enforced, and prob
ably never will be. No sane man supposes
that we can reach absolute prohibition lat
bound"
Maine has been advancing by steps to-
ward prohibition for thirty years, and on the
testimony of Senator Frye, she has reduced
the liquor consumed per capita to one-tenth
its original amount We are in earnest and
will accept no compromise with the liquor
interest. We have inscribed Prohibition on
our flag and nailed it to the mast and will
sink or swim with it. Our faith is that within
the next hundred years we will wipe this
blot from our national escutcheon. The
coming man will not drink rum nor lager,
nor vote license. r. 7. BROWN,

Sympathy with Mrs. Cougar.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Mrs. Cougars trial calls forth the SYM
pathy of women and pure-minded men.
Ignoring the causes of the SANDER and all of
the questions that naturally arise in connec-
ton with the suit, the woman's heart is
suffering, and as a woman l feel for her the
kindest sympathy. The assertion that the
assault upon her character must necessarily
affect the principles of equal suffrage has no
basis. The principle of the equality OF the
sexes is as broad as humanity itself and as
deep as the capability of the soul. No one
individual their acts, nor the results of their
actions, can retard the movement nor clog
the wheels of progress. Reforms come an d
eliminate through the masses, and to-day
the "woman's cause" finds the bright silver

Fees and Salaries,

To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal:
This session of the Legislature is rapidly
drawing to a close and for aught the public
eye can see, the most important subject be-
fore that body seems to receive the least
consideration, l. e., fees and salaries of public
officers.
1t seems to us an utter lack of consistency
in either party crying out so loud for civil
service reform in national offices when there
is so much reform needed in our own State
and county offices. Reforms, like charity,
begin at home.
Fees and salaries have been regulated for
the last twenty years by the Office holders.

Germany and America.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Referring to the contributions recently
raised in this country and RENTED to Ger
many to aid sufferers by the floods along the
Danube the Rhine, ETC., wish to ask what
is being done for the relief of American citi-
zens who have been brought to want and suf-
fering by the floods in this country. Will
Germany reciprocate? Are any collections
being raised for the relief of our people? Has
the German government withdrawn its arbi-
trary decree against the importation of our
pork? How would retaliatory legislation, in
the shape of prohibitory tariff on German
wines work? A.

Liquor Selling Not Legitimate Business.
Winchester Herald.
The fact is recognized in many ways that
the sale of liquor is not a legitimate bust
ness The liquor trade is a special object of
legislative concern, and demands extra pro
lection, and hence should pay an extra fee
for the privilege of manufacturing paupers
and mbeciles, say from $500 to $500.
The People Should Demand High License.
Terre Haute Express.
Let the Legislature be given to understand
that the people are not satisfied with its ac-
ton. Let it know the will of the people. Do
not let it afterward say that the people never
demanded any license law. Let it be placed
in position so that it can form no excuse
for evadiDg duty.
