OUR COUNTRY'S VITAL NEED.

Men with a quickened sense of national responsibility, who will galvanize Into Immediate action those who consider this war Incidental instead cf crucial the better that every phase of it may be vigorously prosecuted regardless of their personal sacrifice.

LEGISLATION'S SPOILED CHILD. It is a reasonable inference that, the prices for steel and i;s products agreed upon by the president in conference with the manufacturers represent not only his best judgment a? to tru values but the wry limit to whhh he believed he could go at this time without encountering the problem of government ownership and operation. There will be indignation because the figures have been fixed so low and remonstrances because they are m high, but it can hardly be doubted that his action represents the one alternative to commandeered plants. At the very foundation of many industries in peace, steel assumes even greater importance in war. Its mastery on land and on sea cm: be disputed only by food. Monopoly in either of these commodities might easily defeat a heroic nation. It follows that, in spite of all preconceived notions of economics, measures theoretically held to be desperate may by selfish and concerted action become wholesome and profitable. No great American business interest has been more vociferous in It. 7 rotes 'at ions of' loyalty, service and sacrifice ihan steel. It has profited greatly by war already. The test now to applied to it is a severe one, but on the result of it things more important than dividends will depend, declares an eastern paper. The entire country has its eye on steel and it? satellite;. As steel goes, so goes the rest of the country.

FATTENING JOHNSON'S MAJORITY. One of the astonishing things about the Gary municipal campaign is the ysttijtic attack on the pecple who are ?unport;nr; Mayor R- O. Johnson lor i- ! ciiw oi- his newspaper e-rrmies. They are called crooks, thieves ami other viciou3 names. Generally in the heat of a campaign desperate newspapers, finding their feet slipping away from under them, resort to this unprincipled method of campaigning, but.it is amazing to find it in vogue so early in a campaign that the people have not the issues clearly befor--them. This sewer warfare should Indicate to the mayor and his supporters their strength and their opponents' weakness. It shows clearly that they fear Mayor Johnson and are resorting early in th game to calumny, a generally discarded weapon in these political days. They have started to sweat ng before Mayor Johnson has begun to even warm up. Their campaign methods phould only make the mayor's friends work doubly hard. It should unite them firmly and undoubtedly has done so. Slander is fattening ih mayor's majority.

WHY NOT? It fcpttip that there is srtnetbin.? wrone about the medical examination--? f ,v some cf thy draft boards. For instance: After undergoing a pretty stiff rr,e Jural examination before being accepter!, one-eighth of the drafted men who have arrived at Camp Dix are iejer"nl for phvsical disability. K vv !,-.;..; .-, .-ea as it that migit be Yc.i-'."l. Tli:- question of physical fltr.es 'hojM he. ftiH ) ryond all nuestion before the. men are sent awav l.ume. After having giveu up their jobs and arranged all their affairs :t anf-T to the draft requirements and after having been accepted as fit, t.ipse men should not now be refrncd frota then- camps. The resulting confusion atid, in ir." e; c!?e?, disappointment, are altogether too greaf. If the army authorities are not aatisiW with the examination made by ths medical officers of the exemption boards they should provide for first examination? which shall settle the question of physical fitness once and Xor-f.ll. Surely there ii .ome way of standardizing these examinations.

Credit for the discovery cf the principle of daylight caving must be' given to the late William Wilk-lt, the noted scientist of England. He waa accustomed to take an early morning ride in the parka of London, and conceived the idea that in the summer season, between the vernal equinox: and the autumnal pqninox, the fun rose from three to four hours beforo the iifttal opening of the business day. This had the efTect of projecting the business day into the late afternoon and (he hours of leisure and'reercation into the night. In other word, a great portion of the sunlight bonrs of the day were actually wasted.

In casting about for some method by which this evil could be corrected, he became convinced at once that it could not be dene by individual effort. There must be some way of changing simultaneously and uniformly the habits of the entire community. He hit upon the method of advancing the hands of the clock one hour during the summer months. While Mr. Willett wa extremely industrious and somewhat successful in placing his views before the British puhiie, and while bills were introduced in parliament each session, beginning a early a-i 1008, no tangible result could be accomplished until the pressures of war made the change imperative. The plan origiraicd in England, but it wrs fl rat actually adopted by Germany, where it went into force April 30, 101ft. Germany was immediately followed by Austria-Hungary and Holland. In these countries the law began its operation simultaneously on April 30, lf16. Denmark followed on May 15. 191C; Great Britain on May 21, 1916; Norway on May 2?, 101(5; Italy on June 3, 1016; France on June 14, 1016; Tortugal on June 1?, 10 1 0. The business public and wage earners of Great Britain welcome the change in the law, and after a full year's experience with it there are onlyt two line3 of business which are afl'ected adversely in the slightest degree. One 13 the business of artificial lighting and the other is that of the public houses. As to the gas and electric companies, they are confronted with a shortage of fuel, congestion of transportation and high prices of supplies, which makes, them quite willing to reduce their output. The public houses complain that the hour which they lose at night on closing time is not compensated in their line of business by the hour gained in the morning. With these two exceptions,' scpording to th-j report of the British commiss'on, the beneficial results have been universal. AmoDg the many advantages are the reduction -of the amount of artificial lighting with an enormous saving of public and private expense; e reduction of the consumption of coal for light s ml power, and the confequent relief upou the congestion of transportation; an increase of efficiency in the productive power of the nation; a lessening of eye t train; an increase of outdoor life, with enlarged opportunities for athletics, for home gardening, for walking, driving and motoring, for military training and for the use of public parks and playgrounds; a general improvement, in sanitation and health; a greater participation by citizens in public affairs and a reduced expenditure for indoor amusements. The indirect effect upon public morals lias been noticeable. Wholesome outdoor life taken the place of artificial indoor life.

A150lrT A I' TO CARKLKSSXES. We ate very glut! to publish the following 1c tor from an au:oist v l.o has given thought to a very momentous p. ml tim ly fihi'-ct. 1I : "Th published reconl of automr,iiU- ;ic iii'-nla indicates car'1esness on the part of owners or drivers of automobiles. Yet. wild" in nearly every instance the accident is caused bv then- carele.csm s, in the majority of cases it is impossible to collect damages from th-.e peojile, as the cner of the car is either unable to pay or is judsmu-nt -proof. ''The newspapers can serve th renfral public by advo.-ntinp a bill that would obligate the owner or ilriver of art amomobil" ii-o'-f receiving his license to secure a liability policy of an in-uratne company which would stipulate that in the event of death or in juries cans- d by the carelessness of the owner or driver of the automobile it would reimburs the insured person or the estate of any person killed for the loss incurred if. rout h the death or in.iurie.-5 of such person or pet sons. "This would immediately result in a l.h.ck'ist of drurk' n and careless drivers, and such persons would b tumble to si cur a policy of insurance. "I am insuring my car at the present time,and am payinc an excessive premium. My insurance broker advises me that it is because titers is no distinction made between a e'areful and a careless el river."
