HE WANTED THE NEWSPAPERS. Pac-i oft?3 criticise, often ridicule and often profess their ability to - r without t'-o .-.---I'spprs, but how untrue the latter parr of the .-u.toment is. The ether morning a Baltimore man of highest personal character, prominent in every circle of life, passed away. About an hour before his death, says the Indianapolis Star, which followed a surgical operation, he was informed that the end was n?p.r. whereupon he called for hip family and bde iheni an affectionate tarewei), after which he asked for the morning papers and reed the la'ost news, laying them down only when unconsciousness crept upon him. Was it the working of habit that led this man m the final moments of his life tn turn half mechanically to the papers as he had been accustomed to do each morning for years? Or was it the human yearning to have a last outlook over the world he had known and loved and in whose affaire he was always interested an outlook to be had only through the newspapers with th"ir di?i.?chs from near and far'' Was he nnx-.ous about the war or con-cc-rned about the preparation beinx made by his own povernment? Was h? interested in other activities, possibly politics, in which he might himse'f have figured? Did he. long for a further chance to render service? What did this man of affairs, with mind clear to the last, have in view when he read the newspapers up to the moment before death? Who can guess? Certainly solicitude concerning the future or fear of it did not affect him, for when told that he was goins he remarked calmly that he was ready. Perhaps he wondered if he would know, when another morning dawned, what was the news of the life he had left. Others left beh nd will wonder with him. It is a natural and a wholesome s!at of mind. The normal, healthyr.Mnded person is concerned with this life, not the next. He knows about this and the oti.er is a land of vague visions. If he wishes to take with him into the other world a last panoramic glimpse of this earth and its doings set forth in the daily papers, why not? "Haply he may remember, or haply may forget.-' but it is better to pass with that picture in his eyes than to go under the shadow of dread.

GARY TRIBUNE CANNOT HURT .MAYOR JOHNSON. After frantically trying to get back into the social and political graces of Mr. Gleason. whose lamentable fa'l from the Gary park board was due in great measure to the articles run in the Gary Tribune articles that thrilled the hearts of those in a rival political faction the editor this week dips his pen into a pot of acid. The columns jrivr-n over to articles and editorials to'd of the park adm nitration and th great wet nurse institution maintained in the south side something that mint have made every park administrator and wot nurse within twenty-five miles jealous as they could be are row directed t Mayor Johnson. The Tribune with one exclamation assures thttt Mayor Johnson's candidacy la a joke and then contradicts itself in another, showing great apprehensivenees, that his honor and managers will use worse than I. W W. methods, that he will stop at nothing to not elected, even making; th- silly charge that themayor will tie up industries to accomplish this, periling titration and thereby cans ng the kaiser to win the war. I' is indeed a sharp turn from the peaceful contemplation of tha beauties of park administration and successful wet nursing to the grandmotherly lars for the nation's safely. But as far as Major Johnson's Americanism is concerned any assaults r.sainst it will not hurt it. Mr. Johnson is the sani mayor who a few ohs ago jailed the peace council advocates, v. ho used his po! ce force to stop sedition meetings, and whope police department has aided the United States government by arresting in co-operation with the Department of Justice more than fifty men tinkering with treason. This is the same major whoi-e conduct is opposite to the unAniericanisia displayed in Chicago. Tnd-etf. c-aiu new spnpcrs in this country that folK.v the political fortunes of war profiteers denounced by President Wilson, had better give more of their time and space to any men and concerns involved as they will r.eed restoratives before the I'nited States government ein thrnh with

NEW YORK WORLD finds that in the same street in its city the shoe dealers soak people wilh prices for the same type of shoes that range from in one store, $10 three door? away, and fl2 a block away.

To leave everything to the Federal government is to burden that branch with details that should receive attention at home. criticism' NOtT)ISLOYALTY. There is also danger in the disposition to accept without question everything we are commanded to accept and to decry even temperate criticism. It is fully as dangerous as that too evident laxity with near treason and just as mistaken as the attitude of. the constant objection. It is the same blunder made in England at the beginning of ihe war when "leave it

to Kitchener" was the slogan and those who refused to join in the hurrah were branded as slackers. Kitchener proved inadequate and a national debacle almost resulted. Multiplicity of counsel in great emergencies makes for confusion and is wholly undesirable, but there is a constructive criticism and it is not alone pe-mlssib!e, but necessary. The President himself wants and welcomes it. if it plumbs the spirit of real Americanism and when offered by honest and capable men should be respected. Criticism does not imply disloyalty. In carrying democracy abroad we should be careful to maintain it at home. Paris (Mo.) Mercury.

Henry Weismann. "Germany to us, as soon as the conflict came, could be but a memory," recently dedared Henry Weismann, president of the German-American Alliance of the State of New York. "The moment Germany chose, through its government, to tread the path that it knew must bring the United States into the conflict, that nation snapped the cord of sympathy that held millions of Americans to its cause."

SINGING THEM BY HEART. Men and women of tomorrow will be able to sing "The Star Spangled Banner" and "America.' The men and women of today stutter along through the stanzas of the national anthem. Few know it by heart. Since the war the American schoolmaster has seen fit to impress the eongs upon the girl and boy in school from the first grade on up through high school. Hammond school boys and girls are being taught the two patriotic songs and others daily so they will be able to s ng them without ihe aid of books or someone to prompt them.
