HIGH LKEKSi AS THE FOUCEL Kvery one" who at all realise how the city bd gTOwa most admit that pre-tnt force 1 far too smatL Louis WV.n, which la about the same six as Intllanapoll. baa twice a many policemen aa we hare her.

Indianapolis cover thirty square mile aa atalnat twenty-on. Our population large, and It I alao very much scattered. It la aa clear as anything can.be that need more patrolmen probably a hundred more at least and several aubatatlona. Th question Is as to ur ability to pay for them. The tat levy la pretty near up to th limit, and I as high as th people will stand, ought to stand.

Our borrowing capacity 1 practically exhausted. On top everything Is tha mayor colosseum scheme, which he seems determined to carry through, as a munlclpeJ enterprise at any cptL If wa go Into this, and bind ourselves te an expenditure of between 1600,000 and STOO.OOO, we ahall have nothing left orer and above what may be needed to carry the ordinary operations of government Even If we raise tha tax levy, and borrow to the limit of th nw appraisement, ther will be no money left for the police. We can see but one way of getting It, and that is through tha enactment of the high license bill just passed by the Senate. That would give ua 1440 from every saloon for police purposes tnatead of VSA, aa now. What la true ef Indlanapolla Is no doubt true of other cities In th Stat.

Th lm-posltlon of this 11,000 license would give us more money for tha police, more mosey for tha teachers, fewer saloons, and a better control the liquor traffic We submit these consideration to the Ifouae of Ilepreaentatlvea, before which (he bill Is now pending. We suggest also that the fflee.rs of cities will do I well to make themselves heard on this subject. Wa all ef ua want tha beat schoola can get. and theae can not be had unleas Are willing and able io pay th teacher re pectabl salarlea. all want adequate police protection, but thla can not be had with an Insufficient number of policemen.

And It so happen that the schoola and the police ar two of the moat efficient agencies on th aide of law and order, while tha aaloon element la th lawless element. It Is therefor eminently that the saloone should bear a large part of th cost of police and school. i From rery point of view, therefore, the arguments In favor of thla fl.OOO license bill ara conclusive. We need the money for worthy purposes th saloons can afford to pay It; they ought to pay It- The only men who ar eterting any Influence against the bill aro the aaloon men them aelvea, and their political heelers or bosses, as th as may be. Theae men ar willing that our cities ahould be'un der-pollced and that our teachers shall be under-paid.

It only they ar allowed to con tlnu In bualneas on tha payment of the present ridiculously low license fee. They car nothing about ur. school, and -the fewer policemen har th better win they be pleaeed. Her then la th Issue that Is presented to th House. On the no side re the rTecttTne of th school, th Interests th children, th good of th community, the safety of the cltiaen as he walk our streets, and on th other Is asy money for th aaloon and brwrtee.

Such reflections as these ought to have weight with all city government thst ax not wholly' under the domination of the liquor dealer. And lh House, which In a special ens fh representative of the people, ought toeej In such a cas a this tha con trolling to fiuence, not of seUah Int. ere ta, but of th puolta good- We could wish no woi fate for It than to be charged with the defeat of the admirable bill which Is now befor lb Fortunately lt can avoid that fat by doing Ua pbxin duty to the people who are trusting It to serve them, TEE CASE CE JUDGE WHALL0X. It Is, of course, clear enough now to even-body that Judg Whallon. whllo holding the office of police Judge of In dianapolla, acted os attorney for the Dare woman, who married Rhodlua.

ad mits It himself, and Justifies ibis action. In our pinion Whallon had too right to act as attorney for any one. It may be that the law which forbids a Judge to practice taw doeo not cover tb case of th police Judge. But the spirit of It cer tainly does apply. It as bad for police Judge to practice law aa It ta tor a criminal or circuit Judge to do It.

Tiier were no police Judgea In Indiana, at the time th enactment of the statute. If there had been they would doubtlesa have been included. So Judge WhaHon ought not, while Judge," to act as attorney for 'i. Certainly he had no businea to become Involved. In this Rhodius muddle as the representative of ths proprietor of a vil resort.

One ageJn tAe consideration of the ship subsidy bill by the Hons ha been postponed. A few more postpone rnenta wCl settle Its f.te Tb session now has less than four weeks to fun.

and there much to be don la that brief time- On the whole. It looks as though th outlook for the subsidy grab were not very good. Th more It Is considered, th stronger floes th opposition to It become. think also that It every day grows weaker in the House Itself. It la.haxdly possible that tha body wCl dar vot almost tl.500.W9 to Hajrlman and IIM to fay them for running lines that are already In operation presumably suo-ceaaful operation.

It would be simply Impossible to defend such a. vot befor tb people. The publls has not forgotten that this bill has been practically uncon- idered by th merchant raartn com mittee, that It a new bill, that It has never been discussed on th floor of th IIous. thst it was hastily prepased as a substitute for th Senate bin. and that It waa reported by th vote of men who ar serving their last term, and ao ar not tesponslbl to th people.

All theae etrcumstances, as wed as the character of th bill Itself, plead powerfully against It. Ther need be no mistake about th at titude of th people of Indiana on this question. They ar against th bill more trongly than ever. If their wishes ar respected ther will be no vet from this Stat for It, If sver comes befor th Housa Imagine that th Representatives will be very, glad to escape a vote on It, Certainly will If they at all appreciate th strength of the feeling against this grab, If they do not appreci ate It, think they would do well to seek enlightenment before they take their political Uvea their hand by voting for th measure. It seems likely, therefore, that tbr will be ether "postponement.

Jn such cases as this It Is far easier not to act than It le to act. Probably th easier course will be chosen: At least that Is ur hope. PURE FOOD CO-OPEBATI0JT. Th National Association of Ic Cream Makers, assembled In Its sixth annual convention In declared, yesterday, that th makers could not afford to comply with" th pur food law. which demand 14 per cent, of pure cream.

One reason was that ther waa not a sufficient supply of cream. "What hav they been giving ue? It Is almost, comical to se th contortions that hav been eauaed by th pur food law and to hear th loud cries against th possibility of furnishing a pur article Instead of tha article that hae- heretofore maaqueraded as pure.

In this connection the people should be reminded that Congress is on the eve of paralysing th pur food law by tha old familiar devtc of refusing sufficient ap proprlationa to carry It out or by so limiting the aa to Interfere. Representative Tawney, of Minnesota, has Introduced an amendment that forbids th national Government from paying any part of the appropriation to any btate.

Th Department of Agriculture baa made Its plana to work tn co operation with municipal and State Inspection eervlce, and thua secure the full benefit. To this end It would expect from time to time to employ some of th xpert employed by cities and States, especially during th preliminary period In which th Federal service is being organised. Th plan would save money and Increase efficiency.

1 For. what reason, from a busines point view, or from that fgod faith, Con- grees should went to draw a sharp line of distinction" between' the two can not be easily explaloed. We live under a doubl system of government that, at numberless points, -Interferes with co operation and efficiency. To accent the differences) and bold hard to technical definitions la to Increase the cumbersomer ness. multiply Jthe points and hasten the time when drasUe remedies are proposed.

For It may be accepted as a certainty that a people will not. In the long run. put up with any system of government that Interfere with th Just ends of gov ernment. That Is th broad view. Th particular application ta when both sys tems the Federal and th State have similar laws.

Thts should be barmocixed- To oppose them Is folly. It is to be hoped that the Tawney amendment will be killed and that Congres win do everything; to- cause the national and State forces to work together to protect the people from the pirates that nave been preying on their life and health.

The bill that has passed th Rous pro viding that there shall be no change in certain text books in th publio schools for fifteen years is most mischievous In Its tendency and has been defended by specious arguments. It Is a burden on parents to be compelled to buy text books on account of frequent changes. It is argued from this that th Stat should allow no changes for fifteen yeara.

Pick up a school book printed fifteen years ago and It would be found to about as worthless as a laat year's bird's nest. Of course ther ar parts of text books that are hundreds of years old that ar still good, but neither parent nor teacher can forget that for all practical purposes the-world's history Is rewritten oftener than every fifteen years in science, history, geography, and that the lnfiuenc materially every branch of learning. Th real reason behind this fifteen-year bill aeema to hav been that certain school book companies that hav contracts with th Stat would Ilk to keep them in force fifteen yeara longer. Bom of th book ar not good enough to be kept fifteen minute longer, and th attempt to fasten them on the Stat through th Legislature tor half a generation ought to be resented by every legislator aa soon aa he gives serious thought to th subject It seems to be especially effective' for elective officer In th insurance busi ness to be their own constituencies.

Mr. Oliver also appears to be, as far aa creative work on th canal goes, quits up-to-date. No doubt General Bragga opinion of the comparative merits and abilities of the Japanese and the Chinese Is thoroughly honest and well pondered, but the rec ords appear to be against him. The vigorous objection to the proposed military display at the Jamestown ex position seems almost cruel In view of the tact that la this day of democratic peace and simplicity the military mighty seldom gets a chance for such displays as it studiously fits Itself.

and which with the aid of the council of the Vatican It has nearly built cp. has crumbled to pieces in lis hands. Tli ere ia no chance whatever that France will become Protestant; there ia little chance that She will become anything Out what she is. a nation nominally Roman leniently, not to say looeely. governed as to religious observance by a native episcopate, which ia Its turn will own a most anadowy allegiance to the central power.

Galitcantsm. the sptrlt whicii the none have so lone dreaUed. will, in fact, have been enthroned by a Pope who most honestly believe that his first duty is to protect his position as ecclesiastical monarch. That Is th way ia which great Institutions get ruined wnen tneir ultimate managers try to draw the chain by which they hold their subordinate too tightly. On Is tempted to wonder as one surreys the Christian world whether a rec-ond reformation may not be in th air, a reformation directed not against Christianity, nor even against dogmatic theologywhich, though often attacked, has very deep roots but against ecclesiaatl-cism.

Wo seem to se signs such a movement even among the Romka Catholic peoples; and among Protestant neorles the laity at leaat have aa a body largely accepted that new view.

It Is charging Itself with th health of th body, and may slowly charge itaelt with th health of the mind.

Tha symptoms of which we speak may be mr appearances, for nothing Is so impossible to forecast as th direction of a religious movement: but. ss It seems to ua the laity are everywhere grasping all power. and with the new education, and th spread of what la called "science, th laity will not th friends of ecclesli tlclam.

We do not believe in the least in the coming of an arnostic civilisation, such as the French Cabinet Is said by Its enemies to hope for; but th next development of society may take a form In which every man win oe a priest unto himself, guided more, as he believes, by an Inner light tnan ny any external Influence, whether from Organised churches or any -other association oi authorized men.

Nat Hill is a business man and a good politician.

But all these questions are for the future to determine. Ry a campaign that reflects discredit on the educational system of the State, Indiana haa started something that she will find It diffl-cult to stop. But whatever th feeling created by the medical school fight and no matter-what the iasues of the future may be. no further violence should be done the cause of education at thla time. Purdue haa never denied Indiana's claim aa a State University and has never stood tn th way of her 'advancement.

We wish aa much could be said for the attitude of Indiana. Neither institution should suffer because the medical school controversy and if both are to lie denied the right to "reach out." both should be allowed the right to broaden and strengthen th work now In hand.

EDUCATION AND PROGRESS. a Through Education Children Prepared for Larger Problems of tha Future.

We. ar compelled, owing to surrounding conditions of competition, to make our selection and recruit our force frcra th weaker element Thla, continued, must mean degeneration. Every period in the history of a country forms the educational problem of it future.

Educational work corrective. The mlatakes or neglects of one period may be corrected" by th educa-tLOR1, method of another. Just now. the educational progress of ur State is partially blocked bv tha nUrr ouee- u.n. Even should there be an allowance irom to saloon license rund.

Do.w realise that our school system may.b expreaalv. and then again, corrective of a condition? Th peopla of the world hav formed an education ytem for th accomplishment of their purpose or in realisation of their ldesls. Her is an illustration: Through th-Napo- lepnio wars th countries east of ths Rhine realised that the people of the French nation were their auperlora because of superior education, not alone in me person or Napoleon, but In th Der aonnel of'th troops. They lost through aca i eaucauon.

Thla experience has given general direction to the schools or rne world, it nas shown us the way. Where" are we? What la our condition? whet does this golden calf period in our history signify? What do we ex Dress In our frensied finance, or th spirit of graft, or our corpora greed? Is It not a period of arrested development? Have not stopped the clock? May we not atart It again? Is ther not something beyond which hav neglected to look, for or think about seriously? Arrested education or education cut short or on the blaa may make a skilful scoundrel; or. If broadened, it may unite i qualities leading to material prosperity and an exalted view. Conscience Is not innate; It Is developed. We may arrest or develop through a process of education.

Back of all education la the machinery of the State. Thla machinery ta now moving not well through a condition which affects the morsle and character of the teaching force. The system, aa such, the paper plan, is adequate. It la high-minded and serious. Under present conditions th teaching force la not.

and will not be, equal to the demands. Just now. It Is a mere question of salaries. LOUI3 H. GIBSON.
