Unprosperous Jail Business

Says the Indianapolis News editorially: THE
attention of those who persist in contending that
prohibition is running business is called to the
surprising condition of the Wayne county jail,
situated at Richmond, this state. For the first
time in more than sixty years it was, on Tuesday
of this week. without prisoner. None of the Of
ficals has any doubt as to the cause of this SER
ious situation, which not only skaters tradition
but deprives the sheriff of some of his official
emoluments. In their opinion it is undoubtedly
due to the Indiana prohibition law which was
thrust on an inert people by selfish and unfeel-
ing legislature. Plain DRINKS have almost dis
appeared there is an amazing scarcity of assault
and battery cases among persons who got INTO
that condition technically known as being lit up;
and rarer are the cases of persons who are
apprehended for driving an automobile while I'M
der the influence, ETC., and, indeed, automobile
accidents resulting from the steering gear IN the
chauffeurs head being defective are fewer in
number.
Thus far there is no report from Richmond,
or elsewhere that grocery bills not so prompt
ly paid as they were when booze flowed freely at
more or less reasonable prices and the shoe deal
ers do not report any falling off in the number
of children's shoes sold. These things may be
due to the general prosperity and it is not impes-
sible that some of the general prosperity is due
to getting something of value for money spent
instead of getting booze for it. But there is no
doubt that prohibition is running the jail bust
ness A falling off in custom is reported all over

after the prohibition law went into effect that II

An Asset to a Community

Fortunate, indeed, is community whose bust
ness men advertise wisely and literally, says a.
bulletin from the Associated Advertising Clubs
of the World, for that community will grow and
prosper.
Good Advertising, which means steady adver-
Using in space big enough to tell the story that
the advertiser wants to present, brings new dol
lars to town and keeps home dollars at home,
the bulletin continues.
And what becomes of the dollar that goes
into the cash drawer of local merchant? Three
fourths of it or the1eabout, depending somewhat
on the line of business and the nature of the
goods sold, goes to the wholesale dealer or manu-
facturer for the goods the store sells.
The rest stays in the home town. Most of
the other 25 cents out of each dollar goes for
rent, salaries of employees and to the local coal
dealer the light company and others whose goods
or services needed in keeping the store going.
Each time the advertising of local merchants
brings $4,000 of new business to town at least
500 of it remains in the town and is passed
around from person to person, and all the people
share in the resulting prosperity.
Advertising has come to be great power in
business, because advertising creates markets.
Markets are in the minds of people, and can be
made through honest advertising. Merchants
and manufacturers have found that out and that
is why they advertise.

in a concerted attempt to discredit

attorney of every alien in this coun

enough mon ey to enable them to live in compare
tive ease upon their return to their native lands
The thrift which they exercise is of the selfish
kind. It exploits our country, drives down the
wage scale, k,aves nothing in return but labor
turnover Which is expensive to the manufacture
er and irksoLne to the native worker.
If the foreigners come to this country to bet
ter their matea ia condition, they should be fore
ed to make this their residence The country can
not afford to At the surplus between the wages
they earn and the little they spend for living go
back to foreign countries in the form of savings
which increase the national wealth overseas
while it depletes own.
If these men want to make money in America,
they should be sorced to pay Uncle Sam high
price for the privilege. If it were possible, an
immigration tax should be imposed upon the mi
gratory foreigners which would be SO high that
it would force them to become American citizens.

About 20 per cent of the foreigners employed
in the Indiana steel districts preparing to re-

800, 900 foreigners will leave the United States

Our Soldiers Menialized.

To scrub the floor for even so es-
Unable a gentleman as Col. House,
as Richard Seelye Jones remarks in
his Paris correspondence to the POST
1ntelligencer, is poor reward for
services rendered in the Argonne.
Col. House and the other American
peacemakers and designers housed
in the Hotel Grillon doubtless track
mud and otherwise make scrubb1ng
a housekeeping necessity; but just
why American soldiers should be
called upon to perform this "honor-
able" but humble task we are not able
to say.
It may be answered that the uni
formed scrubnaen that slush suds
around the Hotel Crillon floors do
so from choice, and that they are
not, compelled to engage in this
mental service unless they so desire.
This, however, we submit, is not
sufficient answer, and is one that
overlooks the essential opposition to
the soldier-scrubman- uniform.
If the uniform of the American SOL
der stands for anything, and for
two years we have loudly proclaimed
that it does, then it is worthy of
higher station in the Hotel Crillon
than that of the scrub bucket and
the mop. A soldier may properly
scrub his barracks and perform such
other duties as are necessary to his
own health and comfort. That is
one thing; but when he is put to
work as soldier scrubbing floors
and washing dishes for a hotelful of
peacemakers and their families, he
becomes a standing argument why a
great many Americans want nothing
to do with the army.
If the uniform Of the United States
army may indicate that the wearer
is either man who has fought for his
country or who has scrubbed floors
for Col. House, the doubt cannot but
detract from some Of the affection and
admiration we have for it. Scrubmen
and dishwashers are necessary, and
no stigma should attach to their
callings. But none the less they are
not soldiers; their vocations normally
call for entirely different qualities, and
the differences in perils and hardships
that exist between them make for a
difference in popular esteem.
If Paris is totally destitute of scrub
women. if dishwashers and scullions
generally are not to be had, it is
proper that such soldiers as have a
taste for this sort of work should have
the opportunity to indulge proftably
in it-but as private individuals, not
as soldiers. -|% ...,
THE uniform should ever stand for
valorous and self-sacrifcing service
IN the army or navy, and should
never be confused with exploits per-
formed with sapolio or the Gold Dust
Twins, for the comfort of Col. House
or any other private Individual
