THE PATTERSON FTAsCo.

That the people responsible for the
starting of impeachment proceedings
against James A. Patterson prosecu-
tor for the Thirty-frst Indiana judi
cia1 district were shooting up in the
air was shown conclusively last Sat
urday when Judge Greenlee OF Gary
sustained the defense's demurrer and
practically tossed the case out of the
circuit court at Grown Point The
prediction made by this paper over a
week ago came true. The supreme
court Is the place where judicial
questions OF this nature are thrashed
out. In the meantime a stigma has
been put on Mr.. Patterson. Nc
specific charges have been made
against him. but he has been made
the target for volleys OF mud. We
are not passing upon the sincerity Of
those responsible for these accusa-
lions: we are not passing upon the
guilt or innocence of Mr. Patterson
but It is to be deplorsd that a public
officer should be made the victim oil
undertaking and mud-slinging.

THE WOODBURY. JOKE.

Shakespeare's Much Ado About
Nothing" was never more aptly illus
trated than in the Kate Wood Ray
case. Such fiascos do more to hurt
the suffragette cause than anything
else. In the first place, with a great
flare and fanfare 1T was announced
that Kate Wood Ray weighing e5
pounds was going to run Gary's
police and fire departments. Her
picture adorned the metropolitan
press as much as Lydia e. Pinkham's
once did. She was interviewed and
she was interviewed. Hundreds of
columns OF free advertising were
given her. She told US what she was
going to do and what she was not
going to do ad lib and ad nauseam.
Everyone who knew anything knew
that she would not be appointed and
could not be appointed Then of
course 1t all leaked out that she
couldn't be appointed because she
was not a citizen. At the same time
Mrs. Kate Wood Ray has not ceased
telling the people all over the coun-
try what she would and what she
would not have done HAD she been
appointed.

EUGENICS.

The eugenics craze which is
sweeping this country is frowned on
by Bird 8. Coler formerly controller
of New York City who In an address
in Chicago the other night said:
IF the policy of teaching eugenics
to children In the public school is
persisted in, the race will die out in
$50 years. What are you going to
do about the children whose minds
are filled with the false science of a
bankrupt materialism? asked the
speaker. What of the foulness that
fills our theaters and impels those
incomprehensible products of a sick
sentimentalism, the sex hygienics. to
| put matter in the hands of children
which the government bans from the
mails?"
Mr.. Coler said he based his asser-
ton regarding a dead race in 150
years on birth rate statistics of a
college for women, where eugenics
and sex hygiene have been taught
for many years.
