ONE WAY TO CELEBRATE.
"We might gird up our loins tomorrow, tighten up our belts and celebrate
independence day by confronting the situation that looms before iis and giv
ing it the most serious and solemn thought that is possible for us to give
Let us not ehoot off anything not even or mouths but try to realize what the war we are in means to us personally and as a national unit. Some
good may come of that and we shall not have celebrated in vain.
Let us make one prediction: The United States will observe the Fourth
of July, 191S, in quite a different fashion to what it will celebrate tomorrow
"KAISER BILL" THOMPSON II. A reader of this paper wants to know what Mayor Thompson of Chi
cago, has done or has not done to be so universally condemned by the news
papers. He believes that Thompson i3 a good American citizen and is evi
dently not posted on the situation in the slightest degreeIt was Thompson who snubbed Marshal Joffre. Ho Insulted the British" and French missions to this country. He passively opposed registration. He said that Chicago was the sixth German city and proceeded to rule It as such, ignoring the fact that it is the second American city. He cried for an embargo on food when we were on our way to the firing: line abroad. He was openly antagonistic to the Liberty Loan. He has not supported the Red Cross campaign. He has not supported the T. M. C. A. campaign. He has not encouraged -enlistments. He has allied himself almost entirely with the enemies of thi3 countrv
A MUNITIONS DEPARTMENT.
nepresentauve louis t. Mcaacien or Pennsylvania, is of the opinion
that a more efficient production of munitions will be insured by the creation of a department of munitions, which has been found to be a necessity
in cngiana. 10 tnai ena ne na3 lntroaucea a bill creating such a depart
ment whose purpose Bhall be "to foster, promote and develop the industrial resources of the United States in behalf of the national defense," and to purchase munitions of every character. It is to take over all contracts now pending in the war and navy departments and the Council of National De-
iense ior tne purcnase or munitions, ana win include in Its organization
such bureaus and offices as are" now devoted to that work- Mr- McFadden provides that the President shall deail army and navy officers for duty in the new department. He believes that specialization along the lines indicated In his measure will result in a much more effective prosecution of the war.
IT MUST BE DONE. Philipp Scheidernann is the leader of the majority faction of German socialists, more disposed hitherto to the government's war policy than the irreconcilable minority. Yet he sees that "duty impels us to seek the-way that will lead us out of thl3 endless murdering of nations." And returning from Stockholm, he says it was there that he finally "accepted as' his unfchakable conviction that of which I had long before been conscious the thing cannot be achieved without the sweeping democratization of Ger
many, wiui sucn a man ana sucn convictions America need have quarrel. He has found "the way out."

OUR Industrious oft-spring having, despite the ban on fireworks, somehow laid In hia usual supply or whisxers. crackers, go-devils and hell-ruisers are not anticipating our matutinal slumber tomorrow with our usual JOT and abandon.

OUR idea of a slacker is a certain chap who claims exemption BECAUSE he's tho only son of a widowed mother AND she. supports him BUT of course bo didn't say anything about that in his claim. DOWN jn a Florida town they've stopped planting because they believe the end of the world is at hand SOUNDS to us llko hookworm. SPANISH army is now in revolt GOODNESS is there any place on earth where they are not Touting? THERE is still grounds for hope that the country will come out all right in the LONG run for the Hawaiian dance or the straw skirt craze la BEING smothered. TELLING lies is something the same as bleaching tho hair ONCE you start you've got to keep it up or somebody will surely find you out. IT is perhaps somewhat stupid of us BUT we fail to see what difference there is in personal liberty as to beer on the on(! hand AND whiskey on the other MR. WILSON says it would Infringe on personal liberty to take beer away BUT is silent on whiskey.

HOPELESS SUITS. Suits to test the constitutionality of conscription, alerady started in at least two western states, are hopeless. They are based on the thirteenth amendment forbidding slavery or "involuntary servitude." The civil wrr which made the thirteenth amendment possible, saw the utilization of the draft, both in the north and the south; and the power to draft was never questioned from the foundation of the government down to the present war with Germany. If the courts should decide that the draft were now unconstitutional, they would declare in effect 'hat in adopting the antislavery amendment the nation unwittingly deprived its government of one of the most elementary attributes of sovereignty in national defense an absrd conclusion to reach- The simple issue has hitherto not hoon h;
rectly presented to the federal courts for the reason that the draft has never
been usea since tne civn war enaea ana the thirteenth amendment adopted-
Gary Times suggests one reason, which nudity, crudity and putridity.
The Time.s calls particular attention to the prominence given sex plays
and especially films about "unborn chilJren" and other matters exploited in the name of "birth control," etc.. but really appealing only to the curi
osity of the prurient.
Of course, the film producers must be trying to give the people what
they like, and such attempts as have been made to "elevate" the n-rama
ave only succeeded in depressing the elevators in spirit and pocketbook. Maybe, however, the film-makers are mistaken as to what the people
really want. Possibly more travel pictures and educational films and les3
knock-about humor and hair-raising drama would be appreciated, at least for a change.
Popular taste changes, and it. is about as hard to follow these changes to trace the causes of changes of fashion. The film-makers have as
sumed that the public taste -would follow along channels in which it started. It is palpably true, however, that it will require much originality to keen
up with or keep ahead of the changes in public taste. The film drama will probably lose little or none of its popularity, but the producers must keep on the jump in order to maintain the interest of the public Muncie Press.
