LEGISLATIVE ZERO.

So the 1913 session of the Indiana
General Assembly came to a close
with a grand drunk, with baccha-
nalian jewellers tearing their hats,
tearing papers of Importance, and
rending the last vestige of dignity
which is supposed to clothe the COM
monwealth. Perhaps the grossly
carnal exhibition of last night is nc
more disgraceful than acts of sly
smart. cunning: but there is this
difference: The open rowdyism and

upon the sensibilities of the people
of the state
There is this encouragement: The
Courier calls to mind only one other
legislative session, in recent years,
which went to such lengths as was
ATTAINED last night in Indianapolis.
The closing session of the New Jer-
|sey legislature. a few years since,
was marked by drunken debauch
which equalled the affair of last
might But it was following that
direful spectacle. in its legislative
halls. that New Jersey began to wake

Indianapolis. Ind, March -. The
Importance of the vocational educa-
ton law enacted at the 1919 general
assembly of Indiana can hardly be
over-estimated. 1t is expected TO
eventually revolutionize the education
al system OF the state. Where in the
case of the public service commission
bill Indiana followed other states in
this case Indiana leads the nation. Al
ready other commonwealths are asking
for copies of the law with view Of
enac citing similar laws.
II is not compulsory on any county
In the state to- undertake vocational
education. But by a little thought 1t
can be seen how counies will gain In
the long run by going ahead with the
new education under the act. In the
first place additional levy of one
cent on each one hundred dollars OF
taxable property in the state is laid by
the law. The resulting fund will be
used by the state board Of education to
assist In founding vocational educa
tionai schools and departments in e8-
listing schools

THE FACING OF A PROBLEM.

Why" says an esteemed woman
In letter to the editor of this paper,
is 1T necessary for you to discuss in
the sexes when we are trying to keep
our children in ignorance of them as
long as possible? Do you think it
Is necessary? Do you think it helps
matters?"
With profound respect for this
feminine reader, we hasten to say
that we certainly do think it neces-
sary for a newspaper with any sense
it with the pitfalls of life We be-
lieve it is folly for people to be
ostriches hiding their heads in the
sand and having eyes that see not.
Twenty years ago subjects dealing
with social problems that are discuss
ed in the newspapers of today were
taboo They were not considered
polite. The world was not living as
fast then as 1T is today There is
less of prudishness now. People
good men and women realize that
solemn problems have to be faced
They know well the stern duty that
fathers and mothers owe to Their
children. When these parents were
children, they lived in different
atmosphere. They had different us
sociations. There was not the neee

MUzzLING THE PRESS.

The house by concurring in the
Senate amendments to the corrupt
practices act amendment now makes
certain the Gearing libel provision
will become law if Gov Ralston
signs it. The present libel law for
bids such practices as Senator Gear
ing's amendment, but to prove the
truth of the statement is always a
good defense. BY the Gearing amend
ment this defense is probably taken
away. Apparently 1t is an attempt
to follow the English law that the
more truth in the statement made the
greater is the libel
We do not think for moment the
newspapers or the people will sit pas

there is no doubt that it is unconsti-
