Gov. HANLY AS A DISTURBER.

Although the press dispatches have,
very little to say about it, the governor
of Indiana has stirred up the politicians
of that state dreadfully by calling a
special session of the legislature to en-
act temperance legislation along the
lines Of the pledges made by the Re
publicans in their state platform. 1t
seems that Hanly has his doubts about
the sincerity of Watson. the Republic
can nominee for governor Watson
was glib enough in pledges of reform.
if elected. but Hanly, who is a strong
prohibitionist. thought it just as well
10 give the party chance to show its
honesty in advance of the election
What makes the proceeding sensa-
tional. as well as painful TO the Repub-
licans. is the certainty that they will
have TO act. There can be no postpon-
prediction pledges. no evasion-noth-
ing but legislation or a refusal to leg
isate
Hemenway, who is a candidate for
because he has been lodging the local
option and prohibition questions with
great agility. Watson, the candidate
for governor. is almost SPECIFICS, and
that is an uncommon state for James.
The state committee has demonstrated
with Hanly to no effect and all the
minor candidates are wondering where
they will come down.
Mr.. Bryan said not long ago that he
knew of several states where the Re-
publicans were not afflicted with the
over-confidence which Mr. Taft feared
might follow the Vermont election. The
Republicans of Hoosierdom can tell
Mr.. Taft without violating any pledge
of secrecy, that they are worse scared
now than they have been since CIeve-
land defeated Harrison in Indiana: and
with Just as good reason for fear as
they had then

hSSU MING A VIRTUE.

Considering all the facts I'm the case.
the sudden and violent spasm of virtue
which has hit the American" club in
its attitude OF the proposed move of
the red light district is a little unex-
pected. The plan for move had its
origin among members of the city adj
ministratioH and it's affiliated interests:
IL was sanctioned unofficially by the
mayor; its architect is a member of the
american" council and its chief
sponsor is the chief of police, also of
the administration party.
What makes this latest spasm still
more suspicious is the fact that the
ground acquired for the new reserva-
ton belonged 10 a former member of
the American" council. and the reso-
luton adopted by the club is plainly
intended to shoulder off the RESPONSE
blity on the attorney general a Re
publican. When politicians begin to
play morals as A strategic game. the
community may gain by II, but the
motive is doubtful; and in this case
ii would seem that the city admins
tration had attempted to shift the re-
sponsibility for matter entirely with
in its control.
Like any other question of munich
pal management. this one ought not to
be made a political issue The pres
ence of the vicious element concen-
trated in the heart OF the business dis
trict is unquestionably wrong. II af-
fords temptation for the young that
should not be- given. II drives legiti-
mate business out of a district which
should be decent; it has made possible
the manipulation Of the criminal vote
I'm return for police protection. and il
has corrupted the political forces of
the city.
Whether any city can afford to enter
into partnership with crime and openly
authorize its establishment in a giver,
district is an altogether different ques-
ton. The people of the west side who
have organized to prevent the invasion
of their neighborhood by saloons and
brothels are unquestionably within
their rights. and they have a legal
remedy, a perfect protection against it,
But il is little late for the "Ameri-
cans" to proclaim their horror at the
thought of such a move when the pro-
posal was practically sanctioned bv
their own officials and would never have
been carried as far as it has il the city
officials had not let II be Understood
that they approved.
Whatever may be done. the denizens
OF the underworld and the saloons
which depend on them for support
ought to be driven from the business
district and placed where the seeker
after crime would have difficulty in
reaching its agencies. 1t is idle &c saw
the social evil can be suppressed en-
tirely; but il can be surrounded bv
such difficulty OF access and such close
supervision by the police as to min
imize its evils and protect the decent
citizen from the Haunting affronts that
greet him daily in its present location.

hMERICANS ABROAD.

The homeward rush of the grand
army of Americans who nave been
spending the summer abroad is in full
force. and the big liners are as badly
crowded as they were a year ago. when
the climax was supposed to have been
reached In spite of the business de-
preston, there has been no falling off
in the number of first and second-cIass
passengers carried by the Atlantic
steamship companies. though the num-
Der Of immigrants who travel in the
steerage has been reduced one-half.
1t is estimated that the great army
of transatlantic travellers. numbering
somewhere in the vicinity of 2OO, 900.
have enriched Europe during the past
three months to the extent of 500. 0OO.-
600. and that Americans have spent in
tips alone not less than s.. ZOO, OOO Add
the millions secured by the so-called
international marriages. and the fig
ures will show that this country is
subject TO a drain upon its financial
resources somewhat startling.
One hundred millions of dollars scat
tered in the capitals of Europe by the
rich people from this side of the water
forms no inconsiderable part of the
prosperity over there, and if war
should ever break out and these sum-
mer tourists be kept at home for
season. the easy money of the Euro
pean would be lacking and many differ
ent enterprises compelled TO close for
want of patronage. The rich American
abroad is fair game and is worked
10 the limit.
