Representative Smith of New
York has introduced resolution in
congress that the dominion of the
United States be extended to the
frozen lands and seas surrounding
the north pole. Just What this
country could use that Idesolate
region for is unknown to us, as it is
inconceivable that this nation
would establish a second Siberia.
However we might sell it to Russia.

There may be some foundation for
the story in yesterdays Pioneer
Press to the effect that Sam Y. Cor
don has promised his manager, James
S. Arneson, the job of census super.
intendent. But the reporter spoiled
the story by intimating that R. G.
Dunn called on Mr. Gordon in behalf
Of Henry Rines for the same job.
Even should Mr.. Gordon be chosen
speaker may or may not be-he
would have no more to say in the
appointment of a census superintend-
ent than any other member of the
legislature.

RESTRICTIONS THAT DON'T
RESTRICT

The News-Times. Mishawaka:-
We note that our mayor, with his
usual consistency for claiming every
thing and conceding nothing, now
spins an unctious halo to adOrn his
latest accomplishment in clamping
the lid onto carnival gambling The
only difficulty about his claims that
he shut down gambling is the fact
that gambling went on, if all rumors
be true. Wednesday night, with re-
newed vigOr and eclat
The concessions at which the sport
i've were permitted 10 ring a knife,
opened in full blast. Just what is the
difference between ringing a knife
and ringing a clothespin, the writer
is unable to determine. The one is a
trial Of skill, so il is said. in eXtenu
alton OF permitting the vice. But
clOthespins. it seems. must go under
the ban, and rightly, for while you
can ring the knives it is quite impOs-
sible TO wiring the clothes It is all
right to ring the knife and there IS
no objection TO wringing clothes but
you mustn't ring the clOthespins The
visitors to town may not understand
just exactly the difference in this,
but by application to the official
board OF censors they will be given a
catalOg setting forth fine discrimina-
tons on pin wringing, knife Wringing
and clothes wringing
Aother gambling concession which
did a nd-ofice' business was the
buttonhole bouquet racket, except
that for artificial flowers real carna-
tons were given out, and chewing
gum. The carnations given out, it is
reported, were the leftover stock re-
manning after making the carnation
chewing gum for similar concessions
on the street.
We note, among the reasons given
for clamping on the lid is that local
business men who are with us 365
days I'm the year are not permitted to
operate games OF chance; therefore
carnival stands should not attempt to
do so. We wonder if IT ever occurred
to anyone that we have restaurant
year, against whom it is not at all
necessary that "hot dog concession
aires should operate their substitute
wares for seven days in the year
Wonder if it ever occurred to some
people that we have cigar men and
confectionery dealers, chewing gum,
popcorn and peanut vendors who are
with - 365 days in the year, and day
and night at that, against which
similar concessions, including relig-
ious organizations, seem to think it
highly propiious to compete during
the carnival jamboree? Wonder if
we don't have picture shows, and be-
times. splendid bills of vaudeville in
local play houses? And why should
risque, rare and racy shows be called
in for one week to compete against
the local houses? Wonder If Misha-
wakans are unaware that we have
up-tO-date photograph galleries in
the city 365 days in the year.
against which glazing "get-photoed-
quick" artists may compete with
right good will?
