of their lives on their hands next year
at the election.
1t was the intention of the constitu-
tional convention boosters to try to put
in the new constitution a revision of the
tax system; home rule for cities; full
suffrage for women: prohibition; revis-
ion of the state judiciary system; the
short ballot; the budget system for the
state; and many other reforms. But
these must now wait until the people
ASK for a constitutional convention or
until the people vote to amend the pres
ent constitution according to the present
slow and practically impossible meth
cd.
The decision by the supreme court
was non-politfcal. and il cannot be
charged to the republicans or the dem
ocrats. Chief Justice Erwin. who wrote
the opinion, is a democrat, and so is
Judge Spencer. who concurred. Judges
Harvey and Myers. who also concurred
are republicans. Judge Larry. demo-
crat. did not take any part in the decis-
ion, stating that he wished to take time
to express his views in an opinion which
he would file later. Therefore, ii can-
not be said that politics in any manner
influenced the court in reaching its de-
cision.

|NFANT|LE PARALYSIS
IN EAST CHICAGO

A case of infantile paralysis was re-
ported to the department of health at
1865 Pennsylvania avenue yesterday in
the family of Narga. The board of
health ~noun it will go the limit
TO protect the public from this disease
and wishes to urge a few precautions
that shoul be taken by the indidivual
citizen. 1t has been proven by Flexner
hat p~oliomyelitis can be carried by
flies. therefore every home and especial
ly those containing children and babies
should be well screened. Furthermore
pasteurization kills the virus of m
fantile paralysis and If milk so treated
is used the citizen is protecting his
family to that extent.
IF East Chicago is in for an epidemic
of this disease it will be best to be fore
handed and keep your babies and chill
dren away from others of the same
age" a member of the board said. 1T
is we'll known that i~nfantile paralysis is
sperady largely through mild or missed
cases and for all that you may xnow
the child next door that has apparently
a cold or slight -indisposition for a few
days is the very one that will give one
of your own loved ones a severe case
that will result in death or a crippled
condition for life.
Therefore 1t is the duty of each par
.ent to protect his or her family by keep
ing their own children away from other
children as much as possible: screening
the house or fiat; insisting on your gro
Ger screening his produce from flies. and
finally using only p-asteurized milk and
repasteurizing or boiling it in the home
if possible"

STEEL PRICES SAID
To Be MISLEADING

PITTSBURGH, July IA promi-
nent steel man in discussing the rapidly
advancing price of steel today said it
already had reached a point that is
dangerous to the steel consuming in
dustries.
Most of the dispatches that come
from Washington with respect to prices
on steel for war requirements are quite
misleading" he said. They overlook
entirely the fact that finished steel
prices. openly quoted as the market
have advanced $40 a ton since the an
warfare on February l.
Sight is also lost of the fact that
the steel being delivered during the
first quarter of this year and on which
all the producers reported such hand
some profits was at an average of s12
or SIS a ton below the market price
on February 1.
AS a matter of fact. the lowest
prices that have been mentioned in
connection with government orders.
prices intended to be merely tentative
and subject to upward revision when
the matter should reach the competent
authority, are not so very much below
the prices upon which the last earnings
reports were based.
THE advances in steel prices that
have occurred lately. and particularly
since the beginning of April. have been
at an extremely rapid pace. The dan
ger to the steel-making industry by rea-
son of government steel going at low
prices is vastly less than the danger or
steel-consuming industries by reason of
prices having advanced so much of late.
The present prices are absolutely pro-
hibitive TO the average consumer. who
has nothing before him but continuing
his business as long as his old con-
tracts for steel will carry him, then
to await a REIMBURSEMENT"

TIMES BUREAU
AT A CAPITAL.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July 1.-THE
question now is who will be the next
Democratic state chairman. Charles a.
Greathouse. who was elected state
chairman two weeks ago, has not taken
hold of the job, and it is not believed
that he will take hold of it at all. for
he had just been appointed a member
of the national commission that is to
administer the federal vocational educa-
ton law. The appointment was made
by President Wilson and will be efec-
tive az soon as it is confirmed by the
Senate. This means that Greathouse
will have to give All of his time and
attention to that position and its duties,
and that he will have to locate ct
Washington. Under such circumstance
he would not be in position to act as
state chairman.
Besides. it is said by Democrats here
that it would not do for him to con
tinue as state chairman since he has
taken a federal job.
James r. Fleming of Portland, who
was in the city recently, said he was
no longer a candidate for state chair
man. Up to the time that Greenhouse
was agreed on for state chairman
Fleming looked like a winner, for he
had the support Of a number of the
most influential old-time Democratic
machine workers like Dale j. Critten-
berger of Anderson and others. But
since Fleming has said that he is out
of it no one seems TO know who will be
chosen, and no one will know until they
hear from French Lick.
C~rittenberger is looming up in some
quarters as the possible choice of the
old machine for the state chairman
ship. 1t was said some time ago that
Crittenberger was. on the quiet. a can
didate for state chairman himself. and
that he was a candidate for the nomi-
nation for state auditor in 1918 and for
governor In 1920. But he has denied
all of these reports
W. H. O'Brien OF Lawrencebure
looks like a promising possibility for
the state craftsmanship. He is one OF
the closest political friends Thomas
Taggart ever had. The two have work
ed together for years, and when Tag
CART was national chairman he made
O'Brien treasurer Of the national COM

mittee. Taggart would be for O'Brien
for anything that he might want. and
O'Brien wou run for anything that
Taggart would ask him to run for.
Walter s. Chambers of Newcastle is
another whose name is mentioned in
connection with the state chairman
ship. but it is not believed that he VIII
be a candidate or accept the place. He
is a state senator, and the state senate
contains twenty-five Depocrats and
twenty-five Republicans. If Chambers
were to become state chairman he would
have to resign as senator, and this
would force a special election, and a
Republican would be elected 10 take
his place. This would give the Re-
publicans control of the senate, some
thing which the Democrats would not
want done Chambers. by the way. is
the c~leverest politician of them all
And, of course, there is always James
H. Fry, former state oil inspector and
former deputy auditor of state. He is
open for an engagement. and it is be-
lieved by those who lay claims to be
able and wise ruessers. that he would
not flee from the state chairmanshir
if it were hurled at him.
AS the matter stands, there is no
telling who viii be CHOSEN TO take the
place of Greathouse.
Ever since last Tuesday the Demo-
Gratis are saying as little as possible
about the result of the special election
in the Sixth district. when Dick Elliott,
Republican. of Connersville. walloped
Finley H. Gray. Democrat. also of Con-
~nersville, for Congressman The vic
tory o. Elliott was so complete that
1t left not a single feather on Gray.
And since Presidenl Wilson wrote a let
ter in Gray's behalf in the campaign
Republicans are declaring that il was
a clear-cut Republican party victory
Democratic editors, at their meeting
here, tried to inject politics into the
state council of defense by charging
that the council S full of politics. They
said that the state council of defense
was nothing more than a publicity out
fit for the Republican state COMMITTEES
since Will H. Hays. Republican state
chairman, was appoipted chairman Of
the state council OF defense. The fact
is that the one thing that has sought
to be avoided in the council is party
politics. and this is the first time that
the subject has been mentioned.

u children. and we would invite the
u~ncovering of conditions which we may
assist in r~emedying. We have no OBJ
jections to staging a political exhibit.
Mr.. Hoyne always impressed us as a
man who fought things he could hit.
but 1t seems we have been mistaken,
since he has been unwilling to come
back"
Mrs. Ray is president of the Civic
Service club of Gary and was toast
mistress at the banquet of that organi-
cation, at which Mr.. Hoyne undertook
to score the people of Gaw and Lake
county for the corruption of their ad-
ministrations. He had been invited
to discuss what four years of part suf-
frage had meant TO the women of Hi
nois," said Mrs. Ray. and he was Sc
verely criticised by Gary women FOR
turning a social function into a pol IL
cal undertaking exhibition, as a number
of prominent officials were guests at
the dinner. and hospitality and social
standards demanded they should not
be insulted."

|ST|LL GETTING
GARY's PROTEST
However, There Seems to
Be Little Chance That
Change Will Be Made.
TIMES
AT A p

INDIANAPOLIS. IND. July IL
State CONSUMPTION officials and other Of
fcials have received messages of protest
from citizens of Gary for the proper
tionate number of men for the draft put
down by the War Department for Gary.
At the time Of the registration of men
of military age there was but one regis
tration board assigned to Gary. and ar
enormou amount of work was lone by
the board. The city's registration was
approximately IL. 900. and when the time
came for the appointment of the exemp-
tion boards Mayor Johnson of Gary ask
ed that two additional boards be named
because of the large number of regis
trants The War Department complied
with the request, and has sent out in
structions that Gary must furnish a
number of men for the draft based on
the population as estimated by the num-
Der of registrants.
1t is commended that the city of Gary
has an unusually large number of young
men. due to the fact that so many are
employed in the factories and in the of.
fees Of the steel and other industries.
For that reason the number of young
men in Gary is out of proportion to the
population.
East Chicago had the largest number
of registrants in any given district. and
that information was sent to the War
Department. East Chicago produced g.
55S registrants. There was only one
registration board. so that the entire
city consisted of one district. Mr.. Esch-
bach sent a personal message to Mayor
Frank Callahan of East Chicago con.

in which the draft names were compiled
