is BOOZE RUNNING ENDED?

There is a great deal of curiosity evinced among the
police authorities of the Calumet region as to just how
much liquor blockade-running will be done in these parts
after today.
The traffic has been extremely heavy since a year
ago last April and the bulk OF the work has Of course
fallen on the Hammond police who, by the proximity Of
their baihwlck to the state line. have come in closer
contact with booze-runners than any other police agency
in the region, and probably conhscated more liquor than
all the others put together.
Police Will be glad when booze-running stops alto.
sether. It is not a pleasant task for these men Of the
law to arrest all people found with whiskey in their
possession. In the majority of cases the offender had
a small quantity which it was plain was for personal
use. More often it was a quart or two.
In many cases Of course, the police showed no mer-
cy whatever, for they were convinced that the blockade.
runners were agents for blind pigs and soft drink par
lors and were making a business Of outlawry. They
threw this class into Jail without any conjunction what
ever and the number they have captured is 10 their
great credit as vigilant upholders of the law.

Whether of course it is all over remains to be seen
There is YET a lot of liquor in Illinois and much OF it
will find its way into Indiana and Michigan. Booze
runners take desperate chances, as was seen in the case
of the Indiana Harbor woman who, Notwithstanding the
fact that her husband is serving a six months sentence
for bringing whiskey in wholesale quantities into the
state, went after an automobile load herself and was
caught with the goods. II is not hard to figure out what

Taken by and large. authorities in the Calumet re
gion will be glad that the liquor traffic is doomed. They
would not rejoice to hear that President Wilson had
lifted the ban by a rehabilitation order, for if it is there
is no question but what they will have their work all tc
do over again.

HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED.

A member of the Morgan banking firm is chief ad
wiser of the American Peace Commission, and a promi
nent American fnancier says that as the war was
brought on by economic causes. il is bein. settled with
economic ends in view. American bsnke- are invited
to join a "consortium" with European fnanciers TO IN
dertake financial operations in China with government
favor. II is generally believed that one of the chief pur-
poses of the Versailles world constitution is to secure
satisfactory underwriting for certain big transactions in
international finance. It develops that Wall Street fnan-
cial interests have had complete copies of the peace
treaty which are withheld from the Senate and the
American people. How times have changed since Pro
fessor Wilson wrote his book full of resounding periods
telling how the government was under the domination
of the big interests and how. now that the new freedom
was turned on, things were going to be done in a differ
ent way. In this connection let it be recalled that ac-
cording to the income tax reports twice as many million
aires have been developed in this country since Presi
dent Wilson was inaugurated than during the whole his
tory of this country preceding March 4, 1913. withou
much increase in national productive capacity; in othe
words these new fortunes and the vast increase Of man

ductive activity. And Colonel Bryan. who used to rul

LIQUORS NEWS INTEREST PASSING.

With the passing of the liquor traffic today news
papers will be deprived of what has perhaps been one OF
the most prolific sources of news the world has ever
known. 1t will OF course be some time yet when there
will be no more news value to booze, at any rate as
much as it has been in past generations. Liquor will
soon pass out of the range of all human activity and.
just as the drama and movies will find liquor banned for
them as a source Of interest. just so will the newspapers
find that this great feeder of police stations will fade
away. Liquor may no longer be bought legally unless a
presidential proclamation comes into being.
The last persons who may legally buy liquor on
American soil will be residents OF Honolulu. Owing to
the difference in time Honolulans may legally buy
drinks Ave and one-half hours after the lid has gone on
in the eastern part of the United States.
Residents of the Pacific coast drank three hours
longer than fasteners, but by this time they are all dry.

INFLUENZA AND TUBERCULOSIS.

In one of the biggest municipal sanitariums in the
country it is found that so per cent of the cases OF ".

effects of ineuenza.
There is no intention of alarming unduly any person
who has had the flu and who considers himself hap
PLY recovered. II should be soberly recognized, how
ever, that this disease tends to leave its victims unusual
ly susceptible to certain other diseases for q consider
able time after apparent recovery. tuberculosis is per-
haps the foremost of these.
Medical men give warning that every person who
has had a severe case of influenza should be especially
careful Of his strength for months afterward. and should
consult his family physician regularly so that if anv
sign of tuberculosis or other ailment appears it may be
checked az once.

THE PROTECTIVE PRINCIPLE.

The idea behind the protective principle is that we
handle our own affairs in our own way, we do not allow
ourselves to be exploited through the legerdemain of a
foreign trade juggle based upon the principle of taking
as much as possible and giving as little as possible. says
the Boston Transcript. We have developed our home
market and have made it the best market in the world.
and having built up our own industrial system we do not
propose that il shall be knocked to pieces either by the
frap-brained Bolsheviki or by any financial juggle scheme
OF mill owners beyond the big waters. Taking our raw
materials at prices fixed on the other side, turning them
into featured products at prices also fixed on the other
side was a grand scheme for the other fellow as long as
il worked. but. under fifty years of the Republican pro
tective principle practically applied, the scheme ceased
to work. The protective principle lifted the farm indus
tries as well as other branches of industrialism. The ex-
banded home market was not only the best Of all farm
products markets under ante-bellum conditions, but the
only surely dependable market for the products Of the
home farms.
