Private Moonshining

Many citizens of Indiana believe they may
do their own distilling after the nation goes dry
and make all the whisky they like for personal
and household use. The fact remains indisput-
ably true that persons who make their own
whisky after the nation has been declared dry,
put themselves in the class of moonshiners and
if detected will be prosecuted under the federal
statutes.
The internal revenue bureau officials say
they will carry out the provisions of the statute
and that it will be highly dangerous for persons
to go counter to the law.
In this connection, the potential moonshiners
might ponder with profit report of the convic-
tions in the Marion county criminal court on
charges of violating state prohibition laws, show
ing that jail sentences aggregating 1852 have
been imposed and fines totalling 8,075 have been
assessed in the last year The authorities have
shown little patience with persons who try to
violate the Indiana law. The severity with which
federal judges handle cases that come into their
courts ought to be sufficient deterrent for per-
sons who believe that they can violate the federal
prohibition law.

When Was Cifv
Municipal Light
Plant Founded?

The city light plant, the most pro.
fitable possession of Richmond which
is the real property of the corpora
tion, and which made more than $685.
900 last year, was considered a wild
dream in 1895.
Not until 1898 was there a real
movement to build the plant, but in
that year plans were made. The light
plant fight was one of the features OF
the citys life for two years. At first
the majority was against the plant,
but as the older men dropped out of
the council and young men came in,
the fight grew more equal.
In 1900, when the matter came up
before council for final settlement, six
voted for and six against the plant,
leaving the deciding vote to the mayor.
He voted to build.
Construction was started in 1900
and operation was started in 1901. AL
though there was some trouble with
machinery at first, the plant has been
running every day since. z

Mexican Federal Employees
To Get Full Pay at Last
fBy Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Word
has been received through official
channels of a decree issued by Presl-
dent Carranza of Mexico on March 3,
enumerating which employees of the
government should receive salaries in
full and which employees should re
ceive part pay in what are termed
bonds"
The action was taken to stabilize or
systematic the payment of federal
employees, many of whom have not
been paid in full for years. 1t is said
to indicate an improvement in the
financial situation and will tend to
quiet many complaints that partiality
was shown in the payment of salaries
According to an executive order ex-
planning this decree, the personnel of
the supreme court has been the only
department of the government re-
ceiving full pay. Henceforth, it is de-
creed, the salaries from the justices
down to the clerks are to be cut %
per cent.

Building and Construction Work

For the purpose of acquainting the building
interests of the country with the present condi-
ton of the building industry that they may be
able to analyze the situation the division of in
formation and education of the department of
labor sent out nearly 10000 questionnaires to
builders architects, manufacturers bankers, city,
county and state officials throughout the United
States.
The reports from Indiana show SO private pro-
jects under way at an estimated cost of $685.
226 and 105 public projects at an estimated cost
of s12,212,798.
Data obtained from about one-third of the
10000 questionnares showed public and private
projects under way approxmating total valua-
tion of 81, ,7O8 738, ,936. Of these about one-half
are public, such as street paving, road construc-
tion, water works, sewers public building and
water front work with an approximate valuation
of 81, ,249, ,548835.
The private projects reported a total valua-
tion of $459, ,19O,111. The division of informa-
tion and education is compiling this data to as
certain how many projects are being held up by
the high cost of materials and labor, financial
difficulty shortage of materials and other causes.

Elks Help Overcome Technicahties

Disabled soldiers, sailors and marines who are
held to be worthy cases, but which for one tech
nicality or another have been declared "non-com-
pensable cases" by the bureau of war risk insur-
ance, now have chance for retraining, accord
ing to statement today by the federal board for
vocational education, which has charge of the
work.
According to the law passed by congress, only
the cases decided as "compensable'' by the war
risk insurance bureau are eligible or entitled to
the free vocational retraining with $65 per month
support fund, allowance for dependents, and
placement in job, if the course be for wage
earning occupation.
By means of the fund of S150,OO0 placed by
the Elks at the disposal of the federal board,
worthy cases can be awarded training with
out reference to the technicalities which hedge
about the expenditure of government funds.
There are no restrictions whatever upon the use
of the Elks' fund, and it is to be employed in any
or all such cases the board may deem worthy.
Congress provided that the board might main
tain "gift fund" and receive donations, antic-
pating that just such emergencies might arise.
The wisdom Of doing SO is made manifest in the
opening of the door of hope to men where tech
nicalities had closed it to them.

Marriage and Divorce

One marriage out of every nine .n the United
a report issued by the bureau of census for the
year 1916 the divorce rate in the United States
has increased much more rapidly than the num-
Der of marriages. The number of divorces was
i12 per 100000 population in 1916 as against "a
in 1906 and SO in 1890.
The District of Columbia, North Carolina and
New York show the lowest divorce rates and the
highest rates are those for Nevada, Montana and
Oregon. Women lead in the number of divorces
granted to them, the percentage standing 68.9 for
women and 31.1 for men. The causes for divorces
and the percentages contributed by them were:
desertion 1858; cruelty 28.3; infidelity 11.5; ne
glect to provide At; drunkenness "a; combina-
tons of preceding causes Sc; all other causes 81
An interesting sidelight on the divorce ques-
tion is thrown by the statistics which show that
in only ST. percent of the divorce cases were
children reported; in 521 percent no children
were reported, and in 1912 percent the records
contain no data as to children.
The marriage rate is 105 per 10000 population
compared with 1O2 for 1906 and 81 for 1890.
Wayne county for many years has had a
notorious record for the large number of divorces
granted, and did it's share to swell the total num-
Der of divorces for the state of Indiana. No
moral need be drawn from the facts which were
presented in the foregoing statistics. They speak
for themselves.

has increased 500 percent during the

resentative of wholesale drug house.
He estimated that within the past year
enough hops and malt have been sold
to make between $4,000 and 10000
gallons of beer. Before the prohibit
ton law became effective in the
state, practically all hops sold to the
retail trade was for the purpose of

The Y. M. c. A. Campaign

A campaign to raise $500 to cover the an
nual deficit of the Y. M. C. A. will be waged next
week. The association has become an integral
part of our community life. It's popularity is at
tested by the hundreds of boys and men who find
recreation and social diversion there.
The sum to be raised is not so large that it
will strain the benevolence of the community.
The good that accrues to the city from the as
sociation cannot be estimated in dollars and
cents. 1t is a moral force that eludes tangible ap-
prasement.
A generous response of citizens will further
the work of the association and assist in putting
