PESTS.

Hardly a week goes by unless the
slumbers of some sections of this
country aren't disturbed by unneces-
sary muffler and engine noises. This
is a form of a nuisance that the po-
lice should suppress by arresting the
drunken Joy riders-no autoists who
are sober do these things late at
night.
The other night at Gary an auto
load Of drunken joy riders awakened
hundreds of people from their sleep.
Five minutes later an auto dashed in
to a Wabash freight train Whether
this was the same car or not is now
known but the three men and two
girls IN it had narrow escape. If
the auto was the same that cut the
capers five minutes before the occu-
pants could hold no one responsible
had they met with death or injury.
1t is not always the railroad that
is at fault in night grade crossing ac-
cidents that wipe out autoists. In
most cases it is a combination OF
whiskey and gasoline.

SO for some months and perhaps
years.
But we can understand the general
status of the situation, and so watch
the developments with more interest
and intelligence than is used by the
ordinary onlooker.
The basis of the matter seems to
be, according to those who have been
there, that indianapolis is one of the
few big cities of the country which
has never been organized by the fed
eration of labor, and has been more
than any other city what is called an
4"open town.
The federation of labor has evil
IDENTITY set out to unionize Indian
|apolis. and the beginning of this
work resulted in the street car strike.
The basis of the opposition is the
Opposition to the unionizing of the
industries of the city Labor is de-
termined to form unions in all lines
of business in Indianapolis and en-
ployers. generally speaking, are de-
termined they shall not do this.
The pity of it is that both sides
could not get together in a spirit of
fairness and each grant the other
|such rights as are generally consid-
cred due them. But perhaps this
will not be done, and the result will
be that Indianapolis will be rent by
| frequent strikes for some years to
come. until all lines of industry are
unionized
1t is inevitable that each side must
give up some of its cherished ideas
But they probably will not give them
up until after a bitter struggle OF
years.

both could see far enough to give and
take to the right distance, and sc

other shops put on extra helpers in
anticipation of the holiday trade.
This year, however, one of the big
gest department store managers is
doubtful whether 1t will be necessary
to hire more than half the usual
number of extra employees for Christ
mas.
The city of Breslau has just estab-
lished a municipal fund to be lent on
first mortgages to encourage build
ing. Whether this will help remains
to be seen. 1t has been most difficult
for several months to borrow money
on even gilt-edge first mortgages, and
1t may be too late in view of the gen.
eral business situation to hope that
building can be notceably stimulated

WATERWAY WORK.

The patchwork appropriations for
river and harbor work in Lake coun-
ty has often been criticized by men
who see nothing but folly in the way
the government is going about the
work. Like conditions obtain else
where. The Cincinnati American
says:
"The methods employed by the
United States government in the inn
|provement of the Ohio river shows
signs of senility on the part of those
responsible If man were going to
build a house and went about it by
buying lot. waiting four or five
years; paying taxes and losing the
interest on his money; then excavat-
ing fer a cellar; letting that stand
four or five years-after which he
would have to excavate again-then
building a foundation, letting that
then putting up the brick work and
letting that stand for a period. by
the time the house was finished, if
ever, it would be ready to fall down,
worn out by age. So it is with Ohio
river Improvement represented In
dams and locks. Those IN charge
build one and then wait for years be-
fore building another, meanwhile
maintaining the ones already built
at heavy expense. The sane way
would be to plan every dam and lock
necessary for nine-foot stage and to
let contracts for the whole system.
IF this method had been employed at
the outset, we could have had a nine
foot stage by the time of the compile
ltion of the Panama canal and a re-
|yival Of business on the Ohio would
be in sight How can congress and
those in charge of this work explain
this piecemeal and amateurisn
method? AS in the case of most pub
lie works, there is colored gentle
imam in the woodpile Every year
delegations go to Washington to urge
the completion of Improvements with
the same result. Nothing is accom-
lplished except that more promises are
obtained and in some cases further
improvement of the penny-wise-and-
Ipound-foolish variety follows"

WHEN TARIFF REFORM FAILS.

A tailor came into the Star office in
Marion, Ohio the other day and
wanted to talk clothes, and says the
editor, I'VE were interested, because
we wanted a practical lesson in tariff
reform. Knowing that the Under
wood bill had taken the tariff off
wool, the so-called raw material for
desirable fabrics from which mems
clothes are made and knowing the
duty had been considerably reduced
on the finished fabrics, we rather ex-
pected him to quote lower prices on
his garments
mo, there are no reductions of the
prices Imported clothes are trifle
cheaper in some instances than here
tofore, In others not cent cheaper,
because the English makers have ad-
vanced their price and added to their
profits what the lowered duty saves
them. We have some patterns which
cost us one to two dollars less, but it
is not big enough to be taken into
account In retailing. We have added
Ito it our profit, but try to give our
customer trifle better suit of
clothes
There you are. We have taken the
revenue from this government and
given it to the foreign manufactures,
and gained nothing for the American
consumer. The only consolation we
can get is that where no advantage is
gained, we are less likely to hamper
Jour own manufacturers. It was the
very same thing with shoes. when the
Payne bill took off the tariff on hides,
land reduced the tariff on leather and
Ishoes. The farmer sustained a loss
lon hides. and there was a saving of
an average of six cents a pair on
shoes. but the saving was too trivial
for any buyer of shoes to get cheap
ened price.

THE PASSING SHOW.

See that Tom Knots, the mayor,
has caused TO be filed, with the state
utilities commission complaint that
the rates of the gas. water and cleo
trio company at Gary are too high.
This concern is owned by the steel
trust
Evidently Tom is making good in
his efforts to get back at the big
interests" because of his defeat for
reelection. But it was Tom. as the
whole town board--then friendly to
the steel trust-who gave to it its
present fifty-year FRANCHISE. But
time changes all things.
