jit to the distillers at fancy prices. Also they drink the product, and the

percentage of drunkenness in the rural districts is high, declares a contemporary-Consumption of the home made product is increasing and the necessary secrecy observed seems to encourage more general indulgance in the fiery beverage than formerly. The prohibitory law is still in force, but a recent dispatch stating that the new government had "modified" the regulations to some extent has probably caused greater boldness among those engaged in the illegal traffic.

"GUESS the newspaper will print it for nothing," Baid one lady in speaking of a meeting to be held. Yes, the newspaper printed it for nothing, but unless the newspaper is paid something for printing these notices once la a while, pretty soon there won' be any newspaper. Why do people think that a newspaper can be printed for nothing?

GORKY'S GRIEVANCE. Maxim Gorky, with his newspaper, appears to be the most implacable critic of America and American purposes whom the "new Russia" has produced. We recall Maxy quite vividly.- Maxy i.? a defiler of the marriage bedHe Is a guy with a concupiscent appetite who believes in leaving his own wife at home and traveling around with another man's. His diatribes against this country, its president, and hia utterances distance anything that has been printed anywhere concerning anybody or anything. Gorky cherishes a long-standing grievance against America. He came here on a lecturing tour some yearB ago, when his literary star was in its ascendancy; and his traveling companion proved to be another man's wifeThere happen to be laws respecting the immigration into this country of couples thus assorted, and those laws were applied to Gorky and his "lady friend." He left these shores breathing out maledictions upon us as a crude and unsympathetic crowd.' He evidently finds that our notions are still tinged with decency, when applied to international even as to personal relations. Hence the Gorkiaa ire- We rather think the United States can stand It.-

THE RED CROSS SUBSCRIPTION. The people of this very best part of the whole state of Indiana are responding to their country's calls nobly- We are proud of them. It is a pleasure to work in a locality where the sense of duty is so highly developed, where It is bo sensitized that its response is as marked as it 13 in Lake county. And yet our people do not need to be either complimented or praised. They have accepted a situation which other parts of the country have failed to meet or understand. Up here we are loyal Indianians, patriotic Americans. It has never been necessary to apply the gad or the spur to Lake county since the war began. To every clarion call there has been immediate response be it volunteering, the draft, the Liberty -Loan or the Red Cross subscription- We have given more than it was necessary to give, we have done more than it was necessary for us to do. The wonderful answer that Lake county city and town gave to the Red Cross subscription will never be forgotten. In ratio to her population Lake county gave more than any section of the state- They call us the melting pot up here, but if being a melting pot means giving more and doing more for our country than the Mayflower sections of the country, we can thank God we live and work in the melting pot. The men who engineered the great Red Cross drive in the manufacturing townships-North and Calumet-know that the so-called foreigner's big heart was manifest at all' turns In the road. He stuck his sweaty dirty, calloused fist in his greasy overalls and gave with a smile and a readiness that put to shame those who refused to contribute. ' Those who gave up their time last week, men of affairs who considered It a duty to make possible an oversubscription, are to be congratulatedTheirs was a noble task. Somebody had to see that it was done and it is a tribute to Lake county's leading citizens to know that the task was well done.

DIFFERENT NEWS NOW. Since the censorship veil has been lifted about Russia some remarkable things about the country are coming to light. When the former czar of Russia issued an order prohibiting the use and .manufacture of vodka in his country at the beginning of the war, word came soon after to the effect that the people had obeyed without protest and that drunkenness was a thing of the pastThe information seemed to good to be true, for even the most obedient of Russians are human, and vodka had long been a popular beverage. However, the assertion that prohibition was prohibiting was repeated from time to time and the only conclusion to be drawn was that the czar's subjects were good material on which to work reforms. Now that the revolution has removed the censorship formerly in force, news of another sort i3 being heard- It appears that though in Petrograd drinking may have been reduced to a minimum, in the villages all over the country, but especially in Siberia, "moonshining," as it is called in this country, has been carried on industriously. Secret distilleries of vodka are numerous. Instead of bringing corn to town to sell, the peasants sell

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND. Almost obscured by other events of greater importance, nevertheless the movement in America to induce Great Britain to give Ireland home rule is one that will mean much in sentiment to many here. It Is argued that now that England is our ally she would find a freer desire to aid her on all sides were Ireland granted a greater measure of liberty. At a time when the civilized portion of the world is arrayed against

autocracy, at a time when even Russia has overthrown it. at a time when

England herself is fighting for it, she would show better consistency by givinr Ireland what she has long deserved and desired.
