The balance OF Indiana thinks that
Lake county has gone court-crazy-
Senator Kinder made a speech in IA
vor Of the Gary bill. which he introduc-
ed. He told the senate that Gary paid
one-third of the taxes in Lake county,
and that this was one reason why It
should have court. He said the high
est court al Gary was a city court,
while Hammond had three superior
courts and Crown Point had one circuit
and one superior court. He said that
the legal business at Gary was so large
that it required a court there to care for
it. Kinder told of the wonderful growth
and development of Gary.
Senator Nedjl tried to have the ques-
ton referred to vote of the people of
Lake county. lie said that a question
as important as the removal Of court
from Hammond and Crown Point to
Gary. where it would be permanently To-
Gated should be determined by the peo-
PIE of the county themselves. NedJi
moved to recount the bill it's author
with instructions to amend it by insert
ing provision that the whole matter
should be left to a vote of the people for
them to say whether the court should
be moved. The senate took a recess of
ten minutes to allow Nejdl to prepare
his motion. but when the motion was
offered, Kinder moved to lay the motion
on the table. and this motion was car
ried That ended all hope that Nedjl
may have had of being able to beat the
bill in the senate.
The bill now goes to the House, where
Representative Edwin c. Davis. OF
Crown Point. say it win be passed. He
says there is no question about what
the House will do with the bill.
Davis says that as soon rs the Gary
bill is out of the way he VIII press for
passage his bill to create criminal
court in Lake county and locate it in
the court room at Crown Point that is
now occupied by Superior court room 3.
Davis says the House will pass the
criminal court bill because it viii be
no expense to the state. All of the ex-
pense of the court viii be borne by the
taxpayers of Lake county.

into an automobile, hurry away. No
other person was in the bank at the
time. Mr.. Polly was manager of the

who desire to leave the United
States,' the order says, Should first
obtain permission in writing from
the war department to do so. This
permission may be obtained by send
ing the applicants registration card
to the office Of the provost marshal.
Registration certificates should be
accompanied by statement signed
by the applicant to the effect that he
accepts the following terms:
"He is liable to draft unless ex-
empt, excluded or discharged there
from; while absent from the United
States the burden of keeping himself
informed as to whether or not his
name has been drawn rests wholly
upon himself; If directed to do so,
he will return to the United States
at his expense to appear before an
exemption board to subject himself
for physical examination.
"He should state what countries
he desires to visit and to what ad-
dress he wants his permit sent. These
permits are not passports. They are
intended to accompany applications
for the passports, which are issued
by the state department"
The working out or the draft in
Oregon must be kept entirely free
from the contamination of politics,
according to the instructions received
here. Adjutant General White says
in his instructions that it is possible
that some men of prominence will
visit the members Of the military
boards and ask that their kin be ex-
empted from draft. "This means that
he would commit a crime against
every other man subject to draft by
increasing his inability to selection.

Of you, and fear there will be many
of them, is contemplate beyond
