In a world of speculation with shoes hardly worth wearing commanding eight dollars a pair, and butter, egg and vegetable i rices the toy of speculators, you find that a dollar Is worth Inly sixty cents. The basic necessities are unduly inflated in price, especially steel, coal, leather, potatoes i'ltd staple prcoeries. and each influences the other. Thi seems to be a day when everything from coal to coffins, from steel

; lenong to cloth ng is pusned to the limit as far as selling price is cont cerned. where labor gets a half dollar more capital, when concentrated, J oxacjs ten dollars. i Itis a merry carnival of gouging, a world cf artificial values, an era i of prices stimulated by the needs of Europe and super-stimulated by the greed of America- The question is how long can the pyramiding continue?

A WORTHY CAUSE. The Press has repeatedly called attention to the splendid patriotic record being mace by Lake county, heretofore regarded as a sort of foreign province, but now about, tho most thoroughly American spot on the hemisphere, judped by the recruiting record. Men have rushed to the colors in Lake county literally by the hundreds. Lake county has led off in another patriotic enterprise in subscribing a fund of ten thousand dollars for the army camp work of the Young Men's

Christian Association. A fund of three million dollars is being raised roi ! this splendid work, and Indiana's share is $150,000. Gary alone has sunI scribed one-fifteenth of the amount a record that w ill make the rest of ihe

Dr. Simon Flexner of the Rockefeller institute warns all communities which suffered from infantile paralysis last summer that the probabilit ies are that they will have another epidemic this coming year,- and that the disease will be mote wide spread. He urges that all should be not onlyforewarned, but forearmedThe cause of most troubles in this country, whether physical, social, economic or anything else, is the happy-go-lucky attitude which never locks the door until the horse has been stolen. Frequently, after the horse is gene, easy-going Americans take tie tone that there's no use locking it now, and leave It open for the thief to return and make off with tHe buggy and the winter supply of oats. It's tjme that at least in the matter of protecing small children from a malady which, if it does not kill, is almost sire to cripple, this attitude be dropped and one of sensible precaution be adopted. Out of all the contradictory theories of he source and means of cure of poliomyelitis which ranged the country last summer, one point was granted by all who were st'.i-li:-o- the HlnUon: The disease has its sbur-
