The other night | nearly swooned
when my astonished eyes lighted up
on little lady whose dress was slit
to the knee. She was wearing fan
tastic lace stockings SO filmy in tex
ture that the marvel is how on earth
she ever got into them or out OF
them. Her dress was so tight that
she could not have put one foot be-
fore the other if it had not been slit.
1t was really case of the glad knee
weeting the glad neck But nobody
seemed to be startled. There is no
knowing where the modish woman is
going to stop. in her revelations.

THE SHAM OF IT.

What joke some of the election
laws of Indiana are was brought to
light yesterday at the Gary demo-
cratic primaries. Wholesale thefts
of voting, repeating. police intimida-
ton and Tom Knots overriding the
election sheriffs were the features of
the day The whole proceedings
were saturated with rank high
hardness dishonesty.
In no progressive state where there
are decent primary and election laws
is such outlawry tolerated. What
kind of laws has the state of Indiana
got when armed police at the behest
of a brazen officeseeker, whose head
is turned with power, can go in and
trample upon the law?

DID YOU KNOW IT?

While eight Of the greatest ma
lions of the world are discussing and
agreeing to the peace plans of Sec
rotary of State Bryan, of the United
States, it is a noteworthy fact that
Belgium is putting more stress than
ever upon the organization of her
army. 1t is not generally known
that Belgium with population of
scarcely 100000. will have the
greatest army in the world in pro-
portion to the number inhabitants.
The Belgium Parliament has just
passed a bill requiring that every
man of 90 be trained to bear arms.
This will raise the war footing of the
army to 100000. At present Mon
tenegro has the largest army in pro-
portion to her size.

THE DRINK QUESTION THERE.

America has not a monopoly of the
discussion over the drink question by
any means. In London, too, the
wheel of fashion has turned in the
matter of drinks. Champagne now
takes a back seat, and claret, moselle
and whiskey and soda are the drinks
of the moment. But temperance is
also a current craze. Barley-water in
special "brews" may be found at
many of the fashionable clubs, while
grape juice and buttermilk are grow
ing in favor A few very smart men
drink plain water. Beer is seldom
seen at dinner or luncheon, but iced
larger beer is popular at balls and
late parties.

The Railroads Must Paw
10 End Their Kgssrafer-
Osss Grade CROSSINGS
Railroads Had Spent Less Money Dishonest They Would
Have More for the Requirements of Their Business

l note in Mondays Chicago Ameri-
can an excellent editorial reference
to the fact that the railroads of the
United States are responsible for the
rather stern and uncompromising at
titude of the public toward them.
AS matter of fact, even more
could be said and more positively said
along this line and in support of the
position of the State of New Jersey
that the railroads must protect the
lives of the citizens at the murderous
railway crossings.
Unquestionably the railroads must
conduct all their business with due
regard for the safety of the public.
and they must take at their own ex-
pense the steps necessary to INSURE
the safety of the public
Mr.. Rea' s suggestion that the pub
lie pay for making the grade cross
ings safe is no more just than would
be a suggestion that the public pay
for safety couplings. or steel cars.
OF course. the public pays for
everything indirectly. but that is one
reason and a good reason why it
should not pay again directly.
II the railroads had issued less
watered stock they would have less
dividends to pay on water and would
have enough money to keep up their
equipment and modernize their con-
ditions generally.
If they had spent less in subsidiz-
| ing Senators and bribing bosses. cor
rupting public service commissions
and debauching the peoples govern
ment they would have more money
to spend in conducting the legitimate
functions of their business and main
tanning satisfactory relations. with
the public.
