THE RAID DID IT. Since Mayor Johnson's watchful police raided the Gary Post's poker game and broke up gambling in that newspaper office, the peevish Post has had very little use for the mayor and has attacked him upon every possible occasion. If Mayor Johnson had only permitted gambling to go on in the Gary Post's domicile, he might have escaped t-ubseq'ient slams- He knew what he could expect, but that did not deter him from busting the poker games and the Post right on th-? nose, and it is quite probable that his honor will pursue the even tenor of his way and ignore the Post, unle it starts another poker game.

TRUE PATRIOTISM. The history of the young Fields of Chicago, ought to make some of the slackers crnge for shame- Here are two young men, each worth about two hundred million dollars apiece. What have they done? Henry, when war broke out, enlisted in the P.ritish royal navy division. He went through the siege of Antwerp. When the United States went in he Joined his own country's troops and was made a lieutenant. Last week he sickened and died yesterday. Marshall III. enlisted as a private in the Illinois artillery. He was soon promoted to be a sergeant. Now he is the sole male Field heir. He is worth nearly $400,000,000. Yet he's going to fight for his country. That is Just xwhat he ought fo do. He ought to love his country more thaii his .four hundred millions. Yet how many of tie slackers can Bay the same?

DYING FOR ONE'S COUNTRY. So often does the saying of the old Roman philosopher come into one's mind these days "it is sweet to die for one's cuntry." These are the days to take this noble gospel to heart, for very many are destined to die for their country. There is cprtainly no truer ending of one's life than when he dies for ethers- Then his life is not wasted. Then he accomplishes the highest destiny of man- The love of country U the fulfilling ,f the law and that is shown in giving one's life for it, says the Ohio State Journal. A man may live on and on, and grovel in the dust, but what does his life amount to? It is a subject one car hardly speculate about, but coming right down to truth and gospel, the old Roman is right. And when we wander through a cemetery and see the modest grave of an old soldier, who gave his life for his country, it seems to sanctify the whole graveyard-

MAYOR JOHNSON VINDICATED. It must be a source of regret to certain of the gentry in Gary, the Gary Post and Tribune and the astute campaign managers of Mayoralty Candidate Hodges that the Gary grand jury ceased its sessions, and as reliably rumored, without finding the least thing that warranted an indictment against Mayor Johnson or any member .of his official family. It did find, instead, many true bills against men in the mob shouting against the mayor. What with "vice", crusades, "civic service" canfmissions, fostered by politicians, and all the muck-raking that two gas pipe newspapers and a host of retained campaign orators were capable of, the ?tacks on the mayor ended in smokeA grand jury that was made up of reputable citizens of Lake county probed into the mass of slanders, but it is stated to have found the reports Just what they were: malicious inventions. So, the rain of true bills that were to engulf the city hall are wanting, much to the disappointment of the "reformers," some of whose faithful henchmen were found to be law break"ere, and now that the grand jury has completed its labors thanks are due to Judge Greenwald who named it, 'and the members of the inquisitorial body for rendering a service to the community in finding whom they believed to be guilty and settling for once and all the rumors that strove to bite at reputations. v

AMERICAN BLUFF. A United Press staff correspondent, who is with the British armies in the field, sends us a bit of news that should have the attention of every citizen in the United States. It concerns a talk he had with a Prussian officer. "The war will be over and a staggering indemnity saddled on th,United States before she knows it," the officer declared- "Before America awakes, we will have starved and whipped England and France and Italy

NOT ANTWERP, BUT EAST ST. LOUIS. Traffic toward East St- Louis on Eads bridge and the free bridges was stopped. Traveling away from East St- Louis was an endless stream of negro fugitives men, women and children. They made "pitiful attempts to carry away their possessions, and the sights of early this morning rivaled the scenes of Belgium and the war refugees. The preceding is from a dispatch to the Chicago American. As we said before, down south the beat up the negros because they leave and up north they beat and kill them because they come. And East St- Louis Is in the state of Abraham Lincoln- ''

WTIEN BERNSTEIN RETURNS. Boris Bernstein, who claims to represent America at Vs socialist conference at Stockholm, managed to get out of this country without a passport or with a forged passport or. with a p.lsspcrt which belonged to another man. At any rate he did it, and he rather impudently remarks that it is for the state department to find out how. Without passing upon the question of the laxity of the state department or of any other governmental agency in permitting this to happen, we venture to thinfc that the discovery of l;ow Bernstein got out of the country is of less practical importance than how he will come back and what will be done to him then.

The Inducements for buying are greater than ever this week at the

into submission and made peace with Russia, leaving America alone in the fieldHe called our belated preparations "Bluff." "B-l-u-u-f-f, bluff " The army preparations, the great air fleet in the building, the destroyers sent to the submarine zone all that and tbe rest, (he said, waa "Bluff." This arrogant officer is from Prussian Missouri, it seems. But one can hardly laugh at him. We have .been woefully lazy in the support of the government. We are still woefully lazy in our support of the government. It's up to you and me, plain every-day Americans, to show our enemies that the United States is not bluffing; that she means it- There are three sreat ways of doing that: First, by going over to France to fight; second, by doing everything possible to conserve and swell the economic resources

of the country; third, by giving your time and your money to your co intry j ns often as she asks for them- The most pressing need just now is f ?r trained soldiers- But there is always the need of growing more foodstuff!-- : and wasting less. Ve'r'e going o nee.d it, brother. It's going to take a stupendous amount '

of food to feed a big American army in France, and the British and French armies in France perhaps, and the inevitable submarine. One can hardly even imagine the amount "of foodstuffs that those 'millions of r'ghting men and the submarines can consume. Don't you permit yourself to believe for a minute that Germany and her allies are even half whipped. They are not. You're thinking of these daily British victories,' we know; but The Germans are still in France! The British and French are always winning and yet, the Germans are still in FranceNow if Germany should make peace with Russia and whip and Btarve the others of her enemy nations into submission before the United State: gets fairly Into the arena, we will pay that "staggering indemnity!" Do you get that? "Oh, no," there are some who will say; "she can't come over here and take it " She doesn't have to come over here and take it- She would then he four times mistress of the seas, and then America would have to pay that indemnity or be as much cut off from the world as an uncharted island. Jam that into your pipe and smoke over it. brother American, and then wake those tightly slumbering neighbors of yours and tell them about it.

This bathing costume named the Rajah because Rajah silk is the only material used, is desiirned for the modest pirl who is not seeking to uttract the attention of the more vulgar male bathers at the beaches. The bodice and bloomers are of dark blue and the girdle and skirt of alic blue.
