BABIES AND DOGS BARRED.

In the ward in Chicago which con-
tains the most swell apartments the
school census shows the fewest child
ren-only one married couple in three
has a baby.
Many OF the leases read: Babies
OF dogs not permitted"
Years ago. at the capital Of Illinois,
a joke law was passed-and forgot
ten-inflicting a penalty on the land
lord who should refuse to let ten
ant have baby.
We suppose that if the landlords
had thought this law would ever be
remembered they'd have organized a
lobby and squelched it. For what are
babies compared with profits-com-
pared with a landlords u per cent?
Anyhow, the law was remembered
and a Chicago landlord who refused
to renew the lease of a tenant whose
wife had had the nerve TO become the
mother of a bonny baby is now de-
Tending himself in court.
We were going TO say that we hope
the jury soaks him. But on second
thought we shan't For the landlord
really likes babies. having been one
himself and being the proud daddy
of three.
So far as he personally was con-
cerned, he'd not have cared how many
babies came to live in his block. 1t
was the other tenants who objected:
complained that the plaintiffs baby
kept folks in the building awake.
They'd move, SO they would, if baby
wasn't put out.
SO you see. after all, it wasn't en-
tirely the poor landlords fault. His
land was getting so valuable that he
had 10 put beehive tenements upon
it to get his money back, and he
couldn't break even if his tenants
kicked. It was baby or bankruptcy /;
and. Of course, baby lost out.
Fine business. isn't it.
Better move into the country.

IF we had anything 10 forgive it
might be difficult for US TO forget that
William Waldorf Aston is, or was an
eXpatrlated citizen of the United
states. We cannot recall whether he
is dead or not. If Mr.. Aston preferred,
Just as people in various parts OF Eu-
rope prefer from time 10 time, to be-
come a citizen OF another country, all
we can say is, 80, hum That is Mr.
Astor's affair, and the L. s. is getting
along very we'll without him."
But what we were about to say
was this: That we view with salts
faction the survival in Mr.. Astor's son
OF that spirit of American patriotism,
absorbed with his American mothers
milk, which inspired him TO take a
commission in the British army and
shed his blood on foreign soil.
THE quick interest aroused in the
User or Iser, poem. pleases us. 1t is
evidence of not only a prevalent lit
erary taste of good quality in South
Bend. but of appreciation of the eter-
nal fitness of things. For the graft
fication of this taste we shall print
the full poem tomorrow. Today We
have this from :. II. D., which gives
US a setting for the poem:
In recent issue of the News-Times
you referred to the poem beginning,
"On Linden, when the sun was low.
All blOOdless lay the untrOdden snow
And dark as winter was the flow
OF Iser, rolling rapidly"
and asked, / believe the name of the
poem and it's author.
The poem is "HOhenlinden,' by
Thomas Campbell author Of pleas
ures Of Hope" and Gertrude OF Wy
oming." 1t describes the battle
fought at Hohenlinden, a German viii
lage on the Iser tributary of the Dan
ube twenty miles from Munich. Cen
eral MOreau, sent there by Napoleon,
defeated the combined forces Of Aus
tria and Bavaria, Dec. 3. 1900.
The last of the eight verses which
comprise the poem is as follows:
Few, few shall part, where many
meet.
The snow shall be their winding
sheet.
And every turf beneath their feet
Shall be a soldiers sepulcher."
IT hurts our pride a trifle, we con
fess to see the comma, Ind. attached
to South Bend when the name ap-
pears in the big city papers. There is

here that the vice president be given

After everything has been said and
done To place the facts fairly before
the voters, and after there has been
careful summing up of all the rea-
sons why this. that or the other can
didate or party should be supported
the highest conclusion in this par
ocular election i'm Indiana is the same
in the minds OF all truly progressive
citizens.
The safe and sure way TO sustain
the best president we have had In 90
wears. in carrying out his progressive
policies Is To return Sen. ShlVely ana
Is democratic congressman from IN
diana
The safe and sure way to sustain
the best governor Indiana has ever
had, a man of progressive ideas ana
with the courage To fight i'm the IN
terest Of the people. is to return
democratic state senators and demo-
cratic members of the legislature.
This will insure a repetition Of the
excellent record made by the legisla-
ture of 1913. which enacted more
progressive laws that directly benefit
the people than any legislature that
ever before met i'm Indiana.
This is rewarding performance ana
not accepting promises from poIIlcai
party managers who have ialled TO
make good i'm the past.
The conclusion of the whole mat
ter is therefore resolved into accept
ing the rooster as the emblem not
only of safety first but also safety
last"
Such a vote at once serves as an
Endorsement of excellent national ana
state administrations. and further m
sures a continuance of good govern
ment under Wilson and Ralston. -

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

wears on the nerves of humanity may
be done away with: An eastern rail-
road company, it is said, is about to
muffle its locomotive whistles to re-
duce the rattle and bang of the
freight yards and to lessen as far as
it can the scream and groan of the
air brakes.
The proceeding is voluntary on the
part OF the company and indicates a
knowledge that much of this noise is
unnecessary; it also implies a sym
pathetic feeling for the public that is
irritated by ia rather remarkable
manifestation by a sO-calIed soulless
corporation. Both the act itself and
the fact that it was made without
public solicitation or pressure encOu-
rage the hope Of an extension of the
silencing process.
Ii the clang and rattle Of train
shifting can be modified, IL seems
possible that the same can be done
with street cars, which, now that
most other vehicles move on rubber
tires and horses are rapidly disap-
pearing from city streets, are the
chief noiSemakers. If their heavy
metallic jar and rumble, the grating
grind OF their wheels and the shrek
Of their brakes as the cars stop and
start or turn upon a curve, can by
any possibility be lessened or done
away with. the peace and happiness
and also the health of large number
OF citizens viii be greatly enhanced.
That noise is detrimental to health
is fact recognized by physicians
They have been known to recon-
mend TO nervous patients whose
places of business and residences are
on streets on which cars pass, to
change their place of abode, the ar
gument being that whether they are
conscious of the continuous noise or
not, it has an irritating, wearing eff
feet upon the nervous system and
nights at least should be free from it,
In many instances the noise of the
passing cars must have a distinctly
injurious effect, as in schools
Perhaps one of the most important
inventions Of the future viii be a
sOundless car wheel-not rubber
shod, maybe but silenced by some
other process. An Edison could give
mis- attention to no more welcome
continuance. There are many other
needless noises in every city and
whoever succeeds in eliminating one
renders service TO his fellow beings.

WILSON AND RALSTON. TWO FOR
WARD LOCKERS

Two things are very important for
every voter in Indiana to consider
and a third is not to be ignored.
Nobody has thought of questioning
the good business OF voting for dem
ocratic senatorial and congressional
nominees. This because it is not only
an endorsement of the good things
already accomplished by the Woodrow
Wilson administration but is an as
surance that the president will have
the continued support OF loyal sena-
tors and congressman for the remain
der of his term. This is necessary if
ne is to get the greatest benefit To all
the people in the introduction Of the
Wilson policies and reforms
Just as important to all the people
is the return Of democratic state
senate and house 10 support Governor
Samuel VI. RalstOn in state admin
istration. that has adopted more bene-
fetal reforms that came close TO all
the people than any that have pre-
ceded. Samuel Vt. RaIston is recos-
nized as one of the exceptionally able
men of the country. he is a Dig man
at the head Of a big state.
The democratic legislature of 1913
also made a record that was most
excellent, passing many excellent laws
that all preceding repu 5lican legisla-
lures had declined to consider.
