THE Milwaukee Sentinel saws:

''The failure of prohibition in Kansas and
Iowa is beyond all question. No enthusiast
can close his eyes to the fact that more and
worse liquor is drunk in these States to-day
than before the enactment of prohibition laws,
while the towns and villages which formerly
kept UP local improvements by the revenue
from licenses are passing into unrepaired de-
cay, and the owners of real estate are revolt
ing against the burden of taxation which they
are compelled to carry. In Iowa Prohibition
warrior, Methodist preacher, who has been
as jealous as any Wisconsin fanatic, writes
that things are very much worse now than
when the doors of the saloons were wide open
that clubs of young men buy whisky freely
from the agents of Chicago liquor houses, and
hold high revel in saloons which are demon
mated club houses-young men who drink
more than before because they have the hu-
man pleasure in doing what the Prohibition
people say they can't do"

be productive of any advantage over what is
already enjoyed The evident purpose was to
encourage shipment by rail in preference to
transportation by water to Chicago and Michigan
city, and thence reshipped. The question is one
of railroad rates, and no sentiment can overcome
any pecuniary advantage that may be
offered by lake shipment. If the Chicago
e. West Michigan railway can offer rates in
conjunction with any line running through Indi
ana that are equally as good or better than can
be had by vessel to the points named then will

wise they will not The general sentiment
seemed to be that the figures offered by mill
men at Muskegon were not enough cheaper to
justify purchasing of them in preference to the
lumber dealers of Michigan City or Chicago
But the excursionists did get much bet
ter idea of the lumber trade of the region Wis
tied. The thirty seven mills at Muskegon last
year cut 659, OOO,0 900 feet of pine lumber, the
largest amount ever cut at that place, and Sec
ond only to the Saginaw region in volume. The
shipping facilities of Muskegon by lake, and its
inland resources through the Muskegon river,
render it a place of vast commercial Importance
come. The annual lumber output Of
the place, if loaded on cars would make train
of no less than 10000 cars. This is vast
amount but can be more than matched by an
Indiana town in the amount of coal mined. The
city of Brazil. in this State, sends out all aver
age of from 300 to 400 cars per day, or from 10O,
600 to 100000 per annum These two indus
tries, if they could be connected by rail-as they
are, practically, by the Chicago & West Michi
gan and the L., N. A, & G. railways If
handled by these roads alone, afford them all the
work they could do.
In the way of saw-mils the visitors were
shown through several in operation, notably
that of Colonel Ives, at Hungerford which is
provided with circular and gang saws, and all the
appliances that ingenuity has yet devised. From
the time the log is gripped in the water by the
"bull chain and dragged to the saw-carriage I'M
til it goes out of the other end of the mill in the
shape of boards of various dimensions and lath,
everything is done automatically by machinery.
and an idea of the speed with which it is done
may be had when it is stated that
circular ran though a sixteen-foot log
twenty three times in two and half minutes,
including all the shifting, single saw turning
out 20, 900 feet in day.
From the mills the tourists were taken to one
of the West Michigan lumber camps, where a
loggers' dinner was served, after which the pro-
cess of fclling trees was shown, and the manner
of getting out the logs to the fine logging road
constructed for the purpose of hauling immense
loads.

the junior class has no students from Monroe
county. Mr.. Gordon's guess has no value,

of the Legislature, no matter from what part
of the State they may be or what
school they may favor The Journal
has been at some pains to keep
posted as to the higher education in Indiana.
and while favoring no State or private in
sutton more than another, it does not wish to
see any one of our State educational enter
prises misrepresented for ends Of partisanship
or personal jealousy. As with the State
Normal School, the State University has but
few students from cities; they are mostly from
the families of farmers; and to cut off the en-
dowment cripples the class to which the pros
perity of the State is due, and which controls
its future. If the Legislature will look up the
statistics Of the State universities or sectarian
colleges, they will find our State University
has less local patronage than the majority of
similar schools

SEVERAL years ago it was announced that the
wife of General Sherman had received from
the Pope the golden rose, which is presented to
the individual who has rendered the most signal

thus distinguished. This announcement,

THE Democrats in the State Senate, yester-
day, did not hesitate to order an investigation
into the charges that the officers of that body
were employing more assistants than the law
allowed, and that the assistant secretary had
already drawn more money than
he was entitled to for the entire
session. This is well and proper.

MRS SPEEDY in her 'Wanderings in the Soudan"

his prayers in loud sng-song chant She remon-
strated; for time there silence; she falling
asleep when the clerk began his prayers again.
Again she demonstrated, again there was brief
silence to be broken alas too by the defatgable
clerk, who once began saying his prayers ''da

ing by machinery; the whirr and buzz terrific.
We learned next morning that our host belonged to
sect which obliged him to repeat his prayers aloud,
and which also enjoned as one of its most stringent
rules that the voice of either woman donkey or
dog, if heard at any time during the service made it
necessary that the whole of the prayers should be
peated.

REPRESENTATIVE GORDON, of Putnam
county, is credited with the statement, as to
the attendance in the State University, that
"probably there are $50 students altogether
and 100 of that number are from Monroe
county, and the rest of them from the balance
of the State of Indiana" The facts of the at
tendance, as taken from the last annual cata-
logue, show that Mr. Gordon is resting under
either the grossest prejudice or densest ig-
norance. There were, last year, in the col
lege classes proper l43 students, of whom 1913
were from Indiana fifteen were from outside
States; thirty-six or % per cent. of the en-
tire number were from Monroe county
There are 800 graduates Of the State Uni
versity who are now residents of the State. A
dozen of these are members of the present Legis-
lature. But the apparent preponderance of
Monroe county, as above shown, is in some
respects fallacious. A college town has ad-
vaatages as place of residence. People who
have means, or can find business, take up
their residence in college towns, so that they
may educate their children and at the same
time live with them. AS with every college
town in the State-Franklin, Greencastle or
Charlottesville in Bloomington, fully
one-half of the students enrolled from
Monroe county belong to families who
have become citizens of Bloomington
for the sole purpose of educating their chill
dren. Some of them have come from other
States for this purpose. Again, more than
half the students from Monroe county are
young ladies; and no one will deny the ad-
vantage of having young ladies' attend home
schools. OF the present graduating class,
numbering twenty -six but four are residents
of Monroe county, and all are young women;

THERE are four places on the different lines
of street railway where the drivers are fur
nished with hot coffee during the cold weather
at the expense of the company. This is a
very thoughtful and humane provision, one
of the rare instances tending to disprove the
proposition that corporations have no souls.
Unless the street railway company is careful
it will come to be popular with the people,
who are quick to respond to every evidence of
enlightened management and generous spirit.
The company had to be numerically beaten
over the head until some most fragrant out
