BRING THE SOLDIERS BACK. P lb6 TJT'6 ?ited StateS did Sn UDWl8e thlns hen it pulled off This was proved last night when the immense Aetna gun cotton plants were destroyed by fire wit an immense-loss. There is no use begging the question or beating around the bush. The fire was caused by enemies of the United States and friends of its enemies There are plenty of them around hereNow unless other munition making plants are not to meet the same fate, the soldiers had better be brought backMark the prophecy. The situation is serious-

DEAD IX THE SERVICE OF AMERICA. Five steel workers, burned to death by molten metal in the steel plant at Indiana Harbor, really died in the service of their country They were making munitions 'so they are entitled to the same consideration as the men who die on the battlefield. These men belonged to the supplv army that keeps the army at the front going.

A GENTLE HINT TO CUBA. The attempt of the Republic of Cuba to place au export tax on waste molasses, which is the principal raw material entering Into the production of alcohol necessary to the manufacture of smokeless powder, has been recognized by Congressman George W. Fairchild of Xew York by the introduction of a resolution declaring that if the Cuban congress passes such an act it will be sufficient reason for abrogating the existing reciprocity treaty with that country. Suddenly to place a hindrance in he way of the importation into this country of the waste products of molasses would bf a very serious obstacle to the manufacture of powder for the United States and her allies, of which Cuba is one, and Mr. Fairchild thinks we should let Cuba know at once what our attitude in the matter Is.

LATENT MILITARY ABILITY. Of the 135 young men who took the final examination in the officers' reserve corps at Fort Benjamin Harrison, a tiammond young man, 27 years old, who never had any previous military training, ranked third. He was n:ade a captain of artillery. Those who won first and second places were old timers in the military game. This captain, Oliver M. Stevens, did not finish high school, and entering the world of work got a job in a railway office- Most of the men at Fort Harrison have had college training. Now the point is that many a young man has latent military talent, which wiy develop if it has the chance. It has proven so in tis war, ft has, in other wars. The commanding general of the Canadian forces in France was a real estate man in British Columbia and he went out as a major. In the civil war young men who went out as privates became colonels and generals. Now If this war keeps up very long many a man in humble station in the army or guard will go up. But what will be more meteoric, some of the young men in the draft army will be giving orders to officers who have been in the service years before this thing is ended-

THE RELIEF OF VOTING MACHINES. Thanks is due the county auditor and the county commissioners for ordering those seventy voting machines- It means a whole lotPrecincts can be cut down- Instead of 200 voters in a precinct a machine can take care of fiOO- Voting will be simplified, and in a few minutes after polls close each precinct .can automatically know its returns. Flashed to a central point, all results should be known within a short space. Contrast what is in store with conditions as they have been. When polls close at six it was not until midnight or in the morning until there was a fair idea of how things went, and in some instances it took two or three days- Mind you this is not a time when roads are bad, the era of candle light, etage coaches, isolated settlements, and voting rlaces far between, but all these unsatisfactory results have existed in a day of adding machines, typewriters, telephones, telegraph wires, electric cars, railroad trains, good roads and fast rdotor cars, all of which enter Into the scheme of modern vote tabulating. And yet were it not for the assistance cf newspaper men. who really outdistance by hours, and often by days.

the work of getting up returns, which seem to hopelessly baffle party committees, the situation woufd be Btill more complicated. But Mr. Simon and the commissioners are getting us relief as well as economy.

FOR FIVE-CENT LOAVES, Consumers everywhere will be interested to know that the great bakers of the United States, in co-operation with Mr. Hoover, are, through their representatives at Washington, working on a plan for restoring the flvecent leaf of bread- The proposal as tentatively outlined provides for the adoption of a standard loaf throughout the United States, and its sale for five cents instead of eight, nine and ten cents, prices which have prevailedPeople generally will -welcome a return to the five-cent loaf, even if it contains less than the loaf at higher prices as it probably will- But proportionately it will weigh as much- The bread users will get more for their money, it is expected. And that Is what really counts.

KEARNS AND R. F. I). Representative Charles C. Kearns of Ohio, believes a limit should be set by congress on the length of rural free delivery routes established by the postoffice department. For a horse drawn vehicle Mr- Kearns believes that a 24-mile route should be the maximum, and for a motor vehicle a length of 50 miles should not be exceeded. He holds that the department pursues 'a mistaken policy when it undertakes to combine short routes into one long motor route, as, in his county particularly, there are many routes that cannot be used by automobiles during three or four months in the vear. A horse drawn vehicle is the only method that can be relied upon on these roads, and the ratrons strenuously object to any change that wi.'l take away any of'the facilities that hey now have.

IF the German character had a little more paganism in It and less

THREE men who moved some fish out of the river at Gary by using a dip net were sent to jail for thirty-three days. A few years ago some eminent magnates moved the river itself. It is not necessary to say any more.

Our Greatest

Industrial Asset

An efficient railroad is the greatest industrial asset- a community or state can possess. It is the foundation of the whole industrial structure. The far-reaching fingers of transportation touch field, mine and factory and galvanize them with life. Business would become one gigantic paralytic but for

the life-giving throb of the locomotive. The New York Central Lines "America's Greatest Railway System" operating over 12,00(3 miles of railway in the most populous section of the United States, employing nearly 200,000 men and equipped with every device and facility for the safe and efficient handling of passengers and freight, are essential to the prosperity of the territory they serve. To continue to render the public and the government efficient service demands constant expenditures of millions of new capital, for a railroad is never finished except in a community that is dead.

The necessary funds must be secured in competition with world-wide borrowing and only as the public and the' government see to it that the railroads are granted rates that will provide a fair return and that regulation is constructive, will railroad securities attract new capital.
