Ho declaredyjompetitloxi -with ula concern to be impossible because it owned the ore beds, and he added: "It is not now poasiblo. bo far as I know, to get control of sufficient iron ore and other raw materials to Justify the great expenditure necessary 'to- create large, modern steel works." Being still further pressed as to whether under any circumstances new steel yrorks could not be built in the south, he said: "Those owning the iroa ore there could. Any others would have to draw their ore from the few owners." Somebody offered to bet recently that Henry Ford would go busted in twenty years unless be got control of ore lands. Think about this!

LARGER PAID UP CIRCULATION THAN ANY TWO OTHER NEWSPAPERS IN THE CALUXET REGION. .

VOLUNTEERS AND CONSCRIPTS. Colonel Roosevelt says ho is just as proud of a selective draft soldier rs of a volunteer. That is the right way to view it. All soldiers who go into battle ior the honor and life of their country look alike to us. There ire two ways of raising an army, and there are differences of opinion as to which is the better way, but our idea is that the better way is the one Uia gets the army. Good words fan be said for either way. We like the man v ho volunteers, and we like the man who is drafted and steps up blithely and gaily and says "here I am." The country can rely on either of them, and it does seem that In the future the republic will rely upon the conscriptive method to raise its armies. It is fair and effective and there Hit two things most needed in the cll for troops. But with Roosevelt, we art ready to exclaim, bully for both. Ohio State Journal.

"IT is reported that nearly all the pupils in the schools are refusing to study German. That is a good thing to do. All praise to them for it. Studying German is time thrown away." Ohio State Journal. School boards may provide for a German course, but patriotic American boys and girldon't have to study it.

THE COAL EDICT. This country now has i fuel administrator, or in plain English, a coal dictator. Dr. Garfield, son of the martyred president, and head of Williams college, is the coal dictator for the war. You will soon know that the coal dictator is on the job. For one thing, congress has provided about fixing the price, regulating the output and a few other things. The coal operators, like some of the steel and food magnates, don't seem to think very much of the government, and prices still rest high. But they will not stay that way very long. Some magnates may go to jail, but the hand of the government will remain firm. Only 70 per cent of the output of the mines is produced, so that means that certain channeis of consumption will have to go without coal, and the fact that one has more money to offer than the nes,t man will not procure it. The government is going to name state and district coal dictators, and this is what is going to happen: The government will get the coal it, needs, then the railroads, then the gas. water and electric companies, then the bakers, packers and other food producers, not to leave out the householders. But there will be no coal to produce power for electric advertising and theater signs, and probably there will be none to operate certain pleasure resorts. But there will be coal for ordinary use and without blood-profit prices attached to it. Neither operator, wholesaler orretailer will get a chance to practice any extortion. All of this governmental control may be called by some as a form of benevolent, centralized despotism and by others a scheme of state socialism, tut -whatever it is it is for the common good, to win the war, and it is superior to the oppression of extortion.

THE MOTHER -IN-LAW.

For countless ages the mother-in-law has been the victim of decayed jests, until it has become one of the most melancholy subjects In existence. And vet many a good man has deep affection and profound respect for v hia mother-in-law, and is not ashamed of it. Laugh at him too, if you will. He knows that the one girl whom in the sweet freshness of youth he chose from among all others to bless his life owes her lovely qualities to the woman who is now his mother-in-law, but was first and is always her mother. He remembers how that mother gave up to him her most precious treasure on earth, loved as only a mother can lov. a girl, smiled bravely through it, end turned away, with flooding eyes, and fainting heart, to weep in heartache and loneliness. Very funny eh? Well, there are men weak enough to remember such things and so blind to humor as not to see at all that the mother-in-law is nothing but a continuous farce. Yes, yes, there are men strong men, wholesome-minded men who realize that in sickness, misfortune, distress, the mother-in-law is the first to come and the last to go, ever the readiest to serve and to sacrifice, ever the most loyal, the most untiring and the most truly sympathetic. For she brings her heart with her, and her heart is love. , And, too, many a man has known her to linger, white-faced but calmeyed, to speak words of courage to him beside their dead hers and his; and then, hiding her heart-break, take the mother's place with the motherless children, and, forgetting that she is a farce, become a ministering and sustaining-angel. Let those who can, laugh at the mother-in-law; let them perpetually bandy back and forth the stale jokes and gibes in ridicule of her. For there are some men who can't laugh at the mother-in-law. In the innermost secret place of their soul, there is a shrine sacred to her, where tovo and gratitude give worship.

THE STEEL TRUST'S HOLD. That the steel trust has a monopoly on steel production is du to its monopoly of natural resources. Owning the source of raw material for steel It can view with indifference all efforts at trust baiting, and continue putting up the price of steel. Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations, under President Taft, found the trust's chief asset to be its ownership of ore lands and stated la regard thereto: "The industry itself rests physically on the ore. The corporation based one-half its capitalization on the ore The ore is of primary significance in the corporation's dominance, end in that resource chiefly is involved the industry's problem of public interest." Shortly after this report appeared Charles M. Schwab confirmed Commissioner Smith's siatement in testifying before a congressional commit-

THAT'S a good step that the American Bar association has made in suggesting that judges make their written opinions shorter. What's needed now is for the judges to meet and suggest that the lawyers make their arguments shorter.

SOMEBODY else has written a book about the Gary schools. Afioruhe Gary natives get through reading all the books about their school h'uses they have neither hour nor minute to even read the Cosmopolitan or steel stock quotations.

IN view of the way Italy is sailing into the kaiser this year's rnacaron and spa&hett crop must have been awful good. We'll buy a new Caruso record and a bottle of Chianti this very day.

IF the price of hogs keeps on going up we see where the usual autumnal fried salt pork and corn bread suppers will be minus the salt pork.
