"THIs is MY seth BIRTHDAY.
Jacob A. Rffs.

Jacob A Riis. the noted sociologist
whom President Roosevelt has desig-
mated as the best type of American
citizen, was born in Ribe, Denmark,
May 8, 1849. When 81 years old he
migrated to America, because of dis
appointment in love, it is said. Soon
after his arrival in the United States
he exhausted his funds and with
meagre acquaintance with the English
language he found it hard to get
along. He gladly accepted everything
that was offered and during these years
he worked in coal mines in Pennsyl-
vania, in lumber camps in Western
New York and at various other occu-
pations. Finally his perseverance was
rewarded by position as a reported on
a New York newspaper. He made a
study of the social conditions in the
lower East Side and his articles on
various phases OF this subject began
to attract attention. Before long he
became an accepted authority on tene-
ment house and poverty conditions.
He became an active reformer and a
social settlement worker and Of late
years his lectures and books on his
chosen subject have gained for him
an international reputation.

Many will not vote when it comes to
secret ballot, to shut all saloons in a
county, rather than cut out one ward
in city, or a township, and still have
saloons but a short distance away
where the people would go to spend
their money. With Crown Point dry,
for instance, it would simply make a
harvest for the half way houses, Cedar
Lake. ST. John and Merrillville. 1t
would be so handy that it would do
but little good from a temperance
standpoint, and would take away the
saloon license money. 1t is presumed
that quite number of voters will vote
dry for a county. who will not vote
them out in little patches. That would
certainly leave the bars down in many
places, besides being class legislation
