FORD KNOWS THE TERMS.

Henry Ford is trying to arouse a tagging
public interest in his attempt to get control of
Muscle Shoals as a practical gift from the Gov
eminent. He sees the sinister influence of Wall
street against him. Declaring that what he has
done thus far to secure Muscle Shoals is but a
"skirmish," Mr.. Ford says he will exert every
resource at his command to keep the property
out of the hands of Wall street. There is moth
ing to get excited about. All Mr.. Ford has to
do is to accept the terms laid Town by Congress
as the minimum the taxpayers must receive in
return for Muscle Shoals. And it will not re-
quire all of Ford's resources or even a substan-
tial part of them.

HURRYING TO THE TALL AND UNCUT.

Vice in Gary is scurrying to cover; in other
parts of the county it IS hosting distress sig
nails. News is breaking fast. A new onslaught
on prostitution by the East Chicago police;
raids on twelve disreputable resorts in Gary;
call for the Criminal Court grand jury for Fri
day of this week; Judge Cleveland's striking
arraignment of the authorities, and threats
against The Times by the overlords of vice and
lawlessness. The last is neither here nor there
the expose is only just begun.
This newspaper has no knowledge of the
reason why Judge Martin Smith called the grand
jury or what his instructions to the inquisa-
torial body will be. 1t is possible that no men
ton may be made to the grand Jurors of the
vice situation in Gary, but we believe that a
fearless jury could dig up some facts as to pros
~titution. gambling. slot machines, whiskey sell
ing and other law violations in cities of the Cal
umet region.
The curiosity of the taxpayers of Lake
county has been whetted. The people seek in
formation. They want to know a lot of things.
They want to know if it is true as charged by
inmates of the underworld that vice in Gary is
protested. They want to know if it has been
protected officially. who is collecting and getting
money from vice operators. They want to know
about the wholesale slot machine business.
Thsy want to know why the fish resorts along
the lake front are brazenly permitted to violate
the law. They want to know why the state
prohibition enforcement officer, Bert Morgan,
ignores the conditions at the fish resorts. They
want to know how it happens when these things
up and down the county have become so motor
ious that the sheriff at Crown Point. with his
deputies here and there, have heard nothing of
them. 1t is quite possible that the people of
Lake county who elect county and city officials

SOLDIERS GIVEN PREFERENCE.

In frantic fault-finding activities directed
against the present administration at Washing
ton the Democratic press, and some of the more
irresponsible members of the Disconnected mi
nority in congress. have charged discrimination
against ex-service men in the appointment of
postmasters. The charge has been revived
periodically. although in each case the allega-
tons of unfairness to former soldiers were
shown up in all their partisan crudeness and
falsity.
Now comes the postoffice department with
the irrefutable facts and the Administrations
foes are, as usual, effectually silenced. From
March 4, 1921, to May 20. 1922, the department
announces, 1854 ex-servicc men were certified
as eligible following civil service examinations
to fill postmasterships. Although in many in
stances three former soldiers were placed on
the eligible list for a single postoffice. and in a
great many, and in a great many more, too. 873
service men were appointed. When it is re-
membered that in all of these civil service ex-
aninations in which former soldiers made the
eligible grade many candidates without war
records were also entered, it is not hard to see
that all the discrimination was in favor Of the
former soldiers.
Facts are the great foe of the Harding ad.
Illustrations critics. Allegations of this and
that are made boisterously for a time, then the
facts are made available and the muckrakers
are forced to turn their activities into different
channels, only to encounter a similar denoue-
ment. The charges of discrimination against
service meh in appointment of postmasters is a
case in point.

TERRE HAUTE MAKING
PLANS TO ENTERTAIN
LEGION CONVENTION

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Sept. /. -
.Terre Haute is making great prepare
tons to entertain the annual state
convention fthe American legion and
legion auxiliary, which is to be held
here Sept. %, &c and 81. Former serv-
ice men and women, whether mem
bers of the legion or not, will be more
greatly interested in this convention
than any previous ones from the fact
that one day is to be devoted to re-
unions of the Indiana units in the
worlds war that were parts of the
38th division, which trained at Camp
Shelby, Miss, and the Saith division,
which trained at Camp Taylor, Ky.
1t is the first time that an effort has
been made to hold reunions of these
outfits, and from indications, many
former service men and women will
be attracted to the meeting. The re-
unions will be held on the first day,
Monday, and that night a big out of
doors dance will be the attraction for
the visitors.
Tuesday night there will be out-of-
doors boxing with number of noted
stars and free admission to all former
service men and women. The big par
ade will be held on the morning of
the third day, Wednesday, and will be
led and reviewed by General John j.
Pershing.
Every buddy and buddy-ess is ex-
pected to bring the old uniform for
the parade. Every legion post N the
state has been ordered to bring its
legion banner and national colors, and
all are to be massed at the head OF
the respective district representations
