THE POWER BEHIND THE RtID

The recent early morning raid of
South Bends "red-light" district
previously announced as nOn-existent,
shows the administration DISPOSE
ton to make good with almost as
much fam bouyancy as the forces Of
etil displayed in the murder of JO-
seph Clark. on Walnut ST.. at the re-
sort Of Mrs. Cora Mann. calculated to
put the administration under a clord.
A wholesale raid was necessary for
appearance sake. il nothing more
A big noise is sometimes essential to
a proper attraction Of public attcn-
ton. Still it would not have been
good politics TO have made it imme-
diately upon the heels Of the Clark
murder, for that would have been a
fatal admission OF previous knowledge
Of what was going on--a fatal admis-
sion OF the truth OF that official slip
of the tongue that at first vouchsafed
that the Mann resort had. for some
time. been under police surveillance"
II was ecessary-politically neces-
sary.-to wait several weeks and pre-
tend an investigation. before taking
action.
And what has the administration
found? Exactly. apparently, the same

time was existing city literally
worm-eaten with vice resorts, scat
tered here. there, and everywhere.
and hourishing in the disguise Of
tend to say, as some assert, that this
disguise once had official sanction. To
be frank about it, we do not believe
anything of the kind. tt is enough
that the police department has failed
TO note these things that have long
been plain 10 people in the vicinity of
where the rooming houses were To-
Gated, or if they were noted, that they
have not heretofore been acted upon.
OF course, the public will take no
tice of the raid. It has been given
enough display. and has been OF suf-
ficient magnitude, that it would be
difficult not to notice it, And we
presume it will serve the purpose of
convincing administration admirers,
who are anxious to be convinced, that
the resorts upset were Of very imme-
date origin. and that they were
picked right on the spOt-the prin-
cipaI result of which will be to allow
a few more months 10 elapse, as a
year already has, with the old condi-
tons renewed in varied form.
Then perhaps there will be another
murder, followed by another investi-
cation, and then another raid.

Probably the contempt in which the

tainly in his infancy he comes forth
a pretty ball of whiteness. He is

Perhaps sometime the pig will be

The raising of food under such cen

the consumer and more profitable to

acquire a social station equal to that

be acceptable as an emblem to any
city that was prominently concerned
in preparing him for the market.

Judge Gilbert II. Gary. chairman of
a committee appointed by the mayor
of New York, has proposed a prac-
tical plan for the immediate employ
ment of the unemployed of that city.
And instantly the horde of self-nom-
mated statesmen and economists who
want no job but that of making over
the government, viciously assail Judge
Gary.

POTTAWATONHE PARK
. Editor News-Times.

To the Editor News-Tmes.
Sir: In the settlement of this ques-
ton little can be gained by newspaper
tor from st. Joseph county mistakes
the motives that actuate the people of
River Park. and consequently, in his
public answer to communication
from the River Park Civic association,
he misrepresents them. In working
to preserve the old fair grounds to
the people for a park, we are not ig-
norant that incidentally, we work to
increase the value of adjacent, vacant
land, just as we do when we build
homes and raise families. A long
time ago a man said that every
bushel of wheat grown in Dakota, and
every bale of cotton grown in Louisi-
ana increased the value of land on
Manhattan island"-and it is also
written Unto him that hath shall be
given, but unto him that hath not
shall be taken away that which he
Seemeth 10 have. We know that
somebody gets US coming and going,
and hope that the senator Will favor
every effort to give value TO those who
create it, We are not the dupes OF
anybody in this park matter nor are
we very anxious about property
values, either the value of our own or
that of others. The foxes have holes
and the birds of the air have nests,
and we have nothing more and often
a mortgage on that Tennyson's North
ern Farmer driving along a country
road, interpreted to his son the noise
his horses hoOfs made as follows:
Property, property, property,
That's what / hear EN- say"
We are not all made after that pat
tern. We grant that the proposal TO
take the park away disturbs our peace
of mind, as such things are treasures,
and he who does not like such things
is a social runt. The answer says. and
the statement is corroborated by an
editorial postscript. that the bill does
not propose 10 convert the park into a
fair ground. There is something more
than a difference Of opinion on this
point. as the published statements re-
garding it's provisions, say, that they
are the same as the one introduced
two years ago, and that bill com
manded the commissioners TO turn
the land over TO a fair association
upon the presentation to them Of a
petition 10 that effect, signed by ten
/ freeholders OF the county. The com
munication from River Park said
nothing about a race track but, as
several of the supporters OF this bill
are more interested in the sport OF
kings than in the promotion OF agri-
culture il is reasonable 10 suppose
/ that they want the county 10 furnish a
race track

"CTTIzENs TRAINED TO ARMS"

There is a good deal to be said for
certain degree of military training
for boys and young men. From the
defense point of view it lays a foun-
dation for the speedy evolution of
soldiers if necessary.
In this connection the Boy Scout
organization is one Of the finest move
ments ever devised. Along with dis
cipline for concerted action and with
camp training. many good principles
of good soldiership as we'll as OF good
citizenship are instilled into the
minds and hearts of the boy scouts.
This sort of thing counts for an
intelligent soldiery that will ever be
ready TO defend the right, but never
will be ready TO be the aggressors in
wrong And it is this to which our
peace-Ioving nation espires.
From the educational standpoint
military training means physical pre-
cision, vigor and alertness, mental
control and spirit of independence,
benignly combined with sense of dis
cipline. such training will make men
more efficient in peace as we'll as in
war.
But soldier nation" is a thing to
be deprecated. 1t inevitably results
in aggressive nilitarism, the spirit of
conquest or domination, which is so
inconsistent with the worlds prog
ress.

POPULAR PALACES.
That Home Is Home Be 1t Ever So
Humble.
ESSAYS of Elia.l


Homes there are, we are sure, that
are no homes; the home of the very
poor man, and another which we
shall speak to presently. Crowded
places of cheap entertainment and the
benches of the alehouses, if they
could speak, might bear mournful
testimony to the first. To them the
very poor man resorts for an image
of the home, which he cannot find at
home For a starved CRATE and a
scanty firing, that is not enough to
keep alive the natural heat in the
fingers of so many shivering children
with their mother. he finds in the
depth of winter always q. blazing
hearth and hob to warm his pittance
Of beer by. Instead of the clamours
of wife, made gaunt by furnishing,
he meets with a cheerful attendance
beyond the merits of the trifle which
he can afford to spend. He has COM
panions which his home denies him,
for the very poor man has no visitors.
He can look into the goings on of the
world and speak a little to politics.
At home there are no politics stirring
but the domestic. All interests. real
or imaginary, all topics that should
expand the mind of man and connect
him to a sympathy with general ex-
istence are crushed in the absorbing
consideration Of food to be obtained
for the family.

commissioners were "inveigled" we do
not know. The public may be assured
that the desire TO keep the park be-
cause Of its worth to the people as a
park, is the only reason we have for
interest in the matter, and If il be
diverted TO other uses we do not ex-
pect to get another.
The suggestion that we ask Mr.. So

lost, is a fiattering compliment from a
senator TO his constituents.

neutral as PLATE stood, but hope to
miss the fate of Flanders. The value
of the land is placed at $65. 900. II
