THE JOB VS.. THE MAN.

When our own Tom Marshall went
to Washington as vice president it
was with firm determination to
prove himself bigger than the job.
During the first few months of Mr..
Marshalls term it was quite evident
that he was of the opinion that vice
president should be heard as well as
seen. Mr.. Marshall talked and talk
ed but evidently he failed to prove
that the office of vice president is one
of national Importance says the La
fayette Journal. A silence has fol-
lowed the first outburst of Mr. Mar
shall and already people are wanting
to know what has become of the vice
president and who he is. 1t is feared
that tho vice presidency is getting
the better of Tom Marshall. That
there is speculation on this point is
indicated by the following from the
Chicago Tribune:
Mr.. Sam Blythe is of the opinion
that the vice presidency is getting
the Hon. Thomas Riley Marshall, OBJ
serving that he does not come up to
spout SO often. At present he is adj
mirably fulfilling the obligations OF
the vice president, which consist OF
being seen publicly as little as posi-

THE UNFAIRNEss OF IT.

1t was only the other day that this
paper in pursuit of news had occa-
sion to chronicle the arrest of a
woman and her conviction in court.
The men who were at her house at
the time of the episode were unnam-
ed. They were not named in the
news story because the woman refus-
ed to give their names to the police
and the latter could not get them.
Neither could this newspaper, though
there was no effort by it to protect
them. The same experience is en-
countered by many newspapers The
Fort Wayne News said last night edi-
torially:
THE News is. asked why it did
not on Saturday publish the name
of the man found with Mrs. Benz
by her irate husband The inquiry
is coupled by the tart observation
that it seems outrageous to con-
ceai the name of the man in a case
of this sort while that of the wom-
an is dragged through the mire.
With this sentiment the News
heartily agrees, yet 1t was unable
to obtain the Information from
OFFICER Pappert. Mr.. Pappert stat
ed that he kept silent on the re-
quest OF Mrs. Benz herself. who
was anxious that her partner in
sin be protected. Thus the woman
suffers alone and in certain sense
does so vicarious1y. She assumes
not only her own burden, but that
of the man responsible for her de-
graduation While there may be
some who respect her self-imrnola-
ton, there is no doubt a very gen.
eral feeling that If exposures are
to be made in miserable cases of
this character the man should be
forced to bear the brunt of the in
fanny and publicity. Yet 1t is never
so. Even where his name Is dis
| closed his transgression is soon
forgotten and forgiven, while the
| stain once stamped upon a wom-
ans name remains as indelible as
the brand on the brow of Cain"

A GOOD MOVE.

The news that Mayor-elect John
son and his administration will en-
deavor to carry out their solemn
promises to the people of Gary by
wiping out the extravagances that
creep into city government and that
one of the first things to be done will
be to dispense with the treasury
draining automobile OF the commits
sioner of works will be received with
much interest. A commissioner of
public works has no more right TO
have a costly automobile with more
costly upkeep than any other official.
In some cities the contracting ring
get the city council to buy an auto
mobile as sop to those who have
the letting contracts.
The first automobile purchased by
the city soon went into the scra D
heap because city officials used 1t to
take women On JOY rides And the
second machine has been loaned to
friends for long-distance trips.

A. A. U. MAY DROP BASKETBALL

Several amendments to the consti-
futon will be proposed at the annual
convention of the Amateur Athletic
Union which opened in New York to-
day. Five are proposed changes to
the athletic rules and one to the con-
stitution, likely to be seen among the
rules of the national body. Up to
the present year the sports over
which the A. A. U. claimed jurisdic-
ton number twelve, but it is propos-
ed to drop basketball. How it will
fare with the delegates noeone is able
to state. for while basketball is popu-
lar In some parts of the country, and
seemingly clean, it is a sport that
has suffered from the inroads of the
professional in other quarters. The
convention will also consider a new
method of scoring for point trophy,
and the expenses of athletes are to
be placed on a strict and economical
basis.

WHAT THREE CENTS DID.

Are you doing your share in the
battle against tuberculosis?
A little boy about six years old
rushed into a store Trenton and
asked If they kept those stamps that
had the picture of Santa Claus on.
The clerk said: Yes, my boy, we do;
how many would you like to have?a
The little boy looked earnestly into
the clerks face and asked: How
much are they?" The clerk answer
ed that they were only a cent apiece.
The child looked joyfully around and
j., said: 81 heard my mother talking
about how the money was to help
the por sick people that had con-
sumption. I've only got three cents,
but | want to help them by buying
stamps"
He received his three Red Cross
Seals and left the store, proud to
think he had perhaps helped some
boys father who had that terrible
disease.

THE DEBAUCHERs OF YOUTH.
THE TINES gives space to the
following:

THE TIMES gives space to the
"a Woodworking seventeen
year-old East Chicago lad employ
ed as a rivet heater on a night
trick at the Standard Steel car
plant in Hammond time when
If 1t were not for present-day
economic conditions boys of his
age ought TO be tucked away in
bed, was filled up with squirrel
whiskey by an East Hammond sa-
loon man yesterday morning as he
came from his work.
THE lads heart almost stopped
beating. He became deathly Ill on
a street car. His chances for life
were about even when he was sent
to the hospital.
Now we are anxious to see
what is going to be done about it.
Is this going to be another case of
hte guilty going unpublished?
Here is a chance for the police
department of Hammond to show
what mettle they have. There is
the boy-there is the saloonkeeper.
I'm the meantime what about the
saloon keepers association?
Wouldn't it be to the interests of
the saloon men to see that the das-
tard who sold that booze to that
boy got what was coming to him?'
Possibly THE TIMES might take
the matter up with the association
The News took up a similar case once
upon a time with the same sort of ar
association here in Fort Wayne, anG

child of light named Morches, thai
the object of his organization was tt

policy. The News naturally inferred
that part of this BUSINESS was tn,

NO WORK FOR THE IDLE.

There Is a very beautiful story
some place about an employer who
seeing a group of men who were do
ing nothing. said to them: why
stand you here idle? Go, work In my
vineyard"
That story illustrates the point
that there is plenty of work to do
and that men ought not to be idle
but it does not present very good
picture of a modern employer.
When a business man of today Is
looking for laborers he shuns the
adler as earnestly as the idler shuns

work. He passes by the loafers on
the corner a some would pass by a
pesthouse. He goes directly to the
place where men are already employ
led. He seeks out the busy worker as
a miner scans the dirt for gold He
wants in his employ those who know
what WORK is by actual experience.
Keep busy. There is no surer way
to step to something higher than by
showing your employer that you are
not afraid of work. Don't quit one
position to look fr anther, but find
the secnd one before you leave the
first.
When a man becomes habitually
idle he is a candidate for the poor
house, and deserves to be.

ed man In a bathing suit Is not a
thing of beauty. OF course not
he doesn't pretend to be. He
wouldn't wear the suit If IT wasn't

allow him there. and IN sheer self

HERE'S A HINT.

See by the papers that our vice
president Is to go out on the Chau-
tauqua circuit next summer. And
not long ago be announced that he
would buy a motorcycle when con-
gress wouldn't allow him an automo-

Let him get the motorcycle and be-
come trick rider. A vice president
doing motorcycle tricks would draw
bigger houses than a secretary oil
