4 MANS WORK

=ae unfortunate occurrence OF last
Sunday in which a number Of citizens
were hurt, seemed to call for prompt
and determined action to prevent its
recurrence. II seems there is Just a
little too much backwardness about
going forward
Is IL possible that the acts Of VIC
lence are 20 go unpublished? Can
man attack an officer OF the lev and
get away with fl? What respec does
Chief Kerr expect for his men II they
are unable TO protect themselves
from humiliation or powerless to
bring the guilty to punishment?
The acts or the mob may or may
not have been in contempt Of court
knowledge Of the order enters into
that question But there is no ques-
ton Of the criminality of the acts.
Judge Warner sits regularly in the
city court. If a street urchin or
harmless drunk had struck an officer
last Sunday he would be serving his
just sentence by this time Why is
Il that the hundreds of rioters have
been unmolested. Such an official
course prompts a contempt for Of
ficials and the law. Failure 10 act
now may necessitate more serious Of
fetal action later. There are some
forms Of iawlessness that can not be
played with When such lawlessness
exists il is a mans work TO control
the situation. The public is watching
for the man.

AN UNACCEPTABLE INVITATION
TO PROGRESSINE.S.

Indiana progressives have again
been invited to return To the bosom
OF the republican party, and again no
reason if offered why they should
come except that the republicans wish
to get into power once more. Naturally
they do wish this, but the circum-
stance seems no argument of I'M
pOrtance to prOgressives who left the
old party because of its laWless use OF
the power it had and because 1t had
ceased to represent the peoples in
trests.
No promises are made that condi-
tons would be different if repNbh-
cans were restored to their former au-
thority: there is no intimation that
any effort would be made 10 carry out
any part of the progressive covenant
with the people, to incorporate It's
principles of social and industrial re-
form into a revised and modernlzed
republican program. There is no hint
that the progressive plan for more
direct rule of the people would receive
approval, no suggestion that the tarlh
should be virtually taken out OF poll
tics and referred to sclenuhc non
partisan commission. no acceptance OF
the plan to regulate corporations as
railroads are regulated, no approval OF
the idea of securing to the people
better administration of justice.
The progressive party coVenanted
with the people TO try 10 put these ano
other benefits, ignored and neglected
by republicans, in force. why shoulo
they abandon them and flock under
the old banner when all the old party
wants is power to conduct AFFAIRS IN
the same high-handed way II formerly
did, with no concessions to advanced
thought? The very suggestion IS pre-
poSterous Republicans who think ana
do not Join with the clamOring spokes-
men of their party in urging reunion
must see that such reunion is i'm
possible.
These are the conditions in every
state and in Indiana there is this sig
uificant fact TO be remern bered: 49,
600 votes were cast in tire state in 1912
for the progressive ticket 600
more than the republican candidates
received. Why. indeed, should TINS
majority go over TO the minority Let
the republicans become progFesslVes
if they hope TO win.-Terre Haute
Star.

If there was some Semblance of en-
thIsiasm in the republican gathering
in Indianapolis Thursday. on the occa-
sion of the state committees meeting
and the Lincoln day celebration, it
was but the shadow of the oldtime
vigOr and Virility that marked a party
in the days of its responsiveness to
the peoples will.
The meeting was but the reflection
of individuals. IT was in no sense the
representation of many thousands of
men in the rank and file of the party
in the state who looked lOngingly, but
in vain, for some sign of reforma-
ton of ideas to accord with the new
progressive conviction that has swept
the country.
As in Washington in December. so
in Indianapolis in February, the party
deliberately rejects opportunity to
make a constructive declaration Rep.
Humphrey Of Washington, who ad-
dressed the editorial association.
spoke rather of the liabilities of dem
ocracy than of the assets of repub-
licanism.
Not a word was uttered in all the
gathering to warrant a hope among
progressive Indiana republicans for a
correction of the evils that reduced
the party to it's present plight. Let's
forget the past" That was the only
plea II convinces no one. 1t de-
ceives no One.-Terre Haute Star.

To the Editor of the News-Times
Sir:-It is sincerely to be hoped
that neither religious, political, nor
other prejudices be permitted TO
cloud, in the minds of our constituted
authorities and our fellOw-citizens
generally, the supreme issue raised by
the riot of Sunday. That issue is sim
ply: Is South Bend To be subject to
law or to anarchy Anarchy is de-
fined as "a state of society in which
there is no capable supreme power.
and in which the several functions of
the state are performed badly or not
at all" Now. until the courts decree
that Father GruZa be put in posses
sion of St Casimir's church and par
ish house be effectively carried out
no matter at what cost-the condi-
tons obtaining in that quarter Of our
city will be. as they are now, clearly
anarchical, and standing disgrace to
any civilized community.
What justice or show of justice the
parishionerS may have had in their
original contentious, what wisdom or
folly may characterize the disciplin-
airy and administrative policy of
Catholic bishops. what expediency or
ineXpediency there would be in the
modification of such policy-an this is
beside the question: The law has
spoken, and until its decree is en-
forced, if not by county officials. then
by state or, if necessary, federal
troops. our city and its rulers will be,
and deservedly so. a bywOrd in the
mouths Of the cOntemptuOus and the
soothing.
The trial and punishment of a few
individual rioters will not touch the
core of the matter at all; possession
of church and parish house must be
assured to him whom the court has
confirmed in his right thereto. Until

likes them because they put him to

than sleeping powders.
Where Mann has the laugh on Mar

books out OF the library, whereas

In buying a novel. there are just one
or two things that determine Mar
shalPs choice. The book must be new,
still fairly damp from the presses, and
1t must have a pretty cover. III the
cover contains a number of bright
colors like the midsummer fiction
number of a popUlar-priced magazine,
Marshall asks no further questions.
He simply cannot walk by new novel
that is incarcerated in blues and yell
low and pink and gold.
While he rather prefers detective
stories, the vice president is really
catholic in his tastes. A story about a
man going to storm a castle in the
Andes mountains in search of a beau
tiful maiden whom he first met at the
soda fountain in Greek candy
kitchen-a story like that will delight
Marshall at the close of his days
work just about as much as detec-
tive tale.

The vice president does not let many
days go by without dropping into a
book store and buying eight or nine OF
the least desirable novels they have on
their shelves. He has been doing this
for years, and the consequence is that
his hcfne back in Indianapolis is in
tested with enough worthless litera-
ture to stock the library of nearly
every young ladies' finishing school
pupil throughout the land. Every
room in the Marshall house contains
sheEes, save only the bathroom, and
each shelf says under its Illicit bur
den. They are shelves of shame.
And the end is not yet. Marshall
continues to shun the circulating Ii
braries and buy his reading matter
outright IT is only a question of time
when he will have TO lease another
room at his Washington hotel to
make room for his collection of the

One OF these hinged on the color of

gage. held by a bank. on a certain
horse. and the mortgage was fore
closed. But the bank took a black
horse, whereas it was claimed that the
mortgage was on a chestnut horse of
much less value. This led to a spirit
ed legal controversy. One witness
said that the mortgaged horse was
black, and another witness said ii
was chestnut. So it was simply mat
ter of determining which witness was
the most gifted in knowing what a
color was when he saw it.

Burke had on an inoffensive suit of
