DOES IT?
Somehow or other it always arouses us to wra'h
when we hear about the raids and arrests and hounding
cf disreputable women.
Does it ever occur to the authorities that for a
change tl.at thy might arrest and properly punish the
things in the guise of men behind these cyprians, these
man-made members of the frail sisterhood?
THEY ADMIT IT NOW.
Well do we remember the criticism heaped on this
paper by fome of our friends of German blood in the
first and second year of the world war, because this
paper repeatedly pointed out that not England, but Ger
many began the great conflict. It was like waving a red
f.ag in the face of a bull to take a stand in those days
against the belief that the Prussian militarists were re
sponsible for the war.
But times change.
People who blamed England do not blame England
now. Even those of German blood themselves are forced
to admit that guilt hangs around Germany's neck.
The Germania Herald, of Milwaukee, the oldest and
largest German newspaper in the -Northwest, in its lead
ing editorial, headed, "An Open Confession," declared
its complete reversal of opinion regarding responsibility
for the European war.
The editorial declared in effect that the guilt of hav
ing started the war must rest with the landed and indus
trial junkers of Germany.
It says it was misled in policy by having accepted
the German government's contention that commercial
Jealousy of England had forced Germany into the war.
It declares that Great Britain has been exonerated by
the admissions in published letters of Prince Lichnowsky
and von Jagow.
"We. too, were among those who laid the blame for
the world war at the doors of the English statesmen,"
reads the editorial in part. ' We, too, have time and
again repeated the assertion to our readers that these
English statesmen, jealous of Germany's success in the
world markets, attempted to encircle it.
We don't suppose anyone will ever call the editor of
the Germania Herald pro-British.
IT MUST AND WILL BE STOPPED.
Uncle Sam finding that the West Hammond and
Burnham authorities have not a proper realization tha
this country is at war and have insolently neglected
to take care of the resorts that have been operating
there for a long time has determined to sup in and take
charge of the situation.
Lake County has taken the initiative. She doe? not
propose to allow conditions to exist, within a stone's
throw of some of our largest war industries, that are
going, in any way, to imperil 'he efficiency of its thous
ands of employes who might be induced by law break
ing saloons and keepers of questionable resorts to vitiate
their strength and skill and manhood in midnight orgies.
Twenty-four drunken men crowded the Hammond
police station the other night. Some of them were war
Workers.
Decent West Hammond women who have been prom
inent in war activities have been insulted by midnisht
roysterers in search of resorts.
The Lake county oouncil is not disposed to b at
all fearful of its ability to get results. The Illinois S'.ate
Council of Defense lias been notified. The War Depart
ment ha been apprised of the action.
"Unless those places near the state line and adjac
ent to Hammond and East Chicago, are run as decently
and respectably as such places can tie run," said one of
the ni'Miibeis of the council at the close of the session,
"we shall see to it that federal aid is invoked to put
them out of business and there is no doubt whatever in
my mind but that there is sufficient evidence right, now
to bring down the wrath of 1'in-le Sam if th situation
WHAT ABOUT IT?
That teachers should have more wages in this state
is not to be questioned. It is not a matter for argu
ment at aH. The public itself !s to blame foe not insist
ing that the guardians of its children at a most important
period of tin Ir lives be better paid. The Fori Wayne
News pv.is It spV-n,!li!!y when it s.ay:4 that the school
teacher who h;m spent years of patient study, preparing
hers--If for her vocation md who is representative of the
j host the .sia: has to off 'i- in thought and conduct, is
j paid a wage actually lower than 'haT paid the most ig-
coram hunkie brought here for the common, st sort of
j unskilled labor. As a poop'-1 v e are paying more for Utos'
i who di;: ditches and move cinders than we are for those
i
I we emplov to instruct our children in letters and the
u-cenc:es ot life.
However, as r. marked in the bottinn'ng. the real
complaint is no; ; hat useful inferior labor is more gener
ously rewarded than the useful superior labor, but that
this us superior labor is underpaid while labor which
is utterly useless is tremendously overpaid.
The average Indiana school teacher draws something
like ?0 i0 a year. To come into this glor.ous emolument
she must train h-r mind for years, live above reproach,
dress well, and interest her.-eif in ihe various social,
civic and religion activities of the community.
A hulking priz-- th. liter who pulls down ail the way
from ..". lam to J ".i!. c.i for his occasional appearances
in the rir.s also has to train, it is true, Ivtt instead o."
training his mind in a college he trains his muscles in
a barn back of a brewery.
The queen of the toe-dancers, with no more mental
ity than a peewee ar.J less culture than a ca'amllar.
trains her tootsies alone and is paid for her performance
ten and twenty times as much as a first class school
teacher.
The man who knows how ti ride or elrive a race
"' is paid more during a single short racing season
than a teacher la raid for a decade's hard and gruelling
w ork.
The pampered chef of a popular hotel commands
more money than the whole teaching corps of a small
city, and his work is all performed by assistants each tf
whom is paid several times what a school feather re
ceives, i
Charley Chaplin for shaking his funny feet in front
of a moving picture screen commands a higher salary
than than the combined salaries of ail the teachers in all
the Indiana cities.
The ' Human Fly" for a half hour's stunt on the fa
cade of a down town building is paid almost as much j
as a teacher in some of the Indiana counties receives in j
a year.
The mothrr of the idiot, "F.osco, who eats 'em alive,"
is said to be paid $20,000 a year for the eminent servrces
to humanity of this masticatory marvel, and $2Vo a
year is more than is paid the school superintendents of
the three largest cities of Indiana.
So, indeed, this list of absurdities might be contin
ued indefinitely, but enough has been said to clinch the
point. Indiana cannot advance in the character of her
school work, cannot evn begin to maintain the presen"
standard, unless she begins to awaken to the fact that
school teachers are human beings who in other work can
command more money, more ease, and mot e self resp
than they command at present.

WHY POLITICS IN THE CHURCHES?
Protestant officials in Lake county who tolerated the
distribution of political slips to members of their congre
gation on Sunday should have reflected on the signifi
cance of it. Th slips, cunning and misleading docu
ment, purported to set out that the governor had endors
ed certain candidates. This the state's chief executive
wired the Times he had not done.
It was bad enough last fall when the Illinois Steel
company at Gary allowed the placards of favored city
candidates to be hung inside the steel mills for the edi
fication of the voters.
Surely we do not want the political methods of steel
politicians soiling the air of church lobbies. Members of
churches where this form of political trickery was car
ried on owe it to themselves and to the public to find
out tee candidates who attempted to use the church
as a cloak for tne'hods that would make even a Tam
many boss blush. Some of the church men concerned
have been ready enouch in the past to criticise other
churches that have been guil'y of this practice.
