HE NEEDS HELP.

There- Is no can in Lake county who has more responsibility on his for the next few weeks than energetic H G. Hay, Jr., of Gary, who is chairman for the new three and one-half million dollar loan for Lake county. It is goivg to fee some task to raise that amount and every man in the county ought to bo Mr. Hay's right, hand man until the good word goes out that Lake county has subscribed her share of the second loan. Every tanker, every newspaper, every patriot should give up a portion of each day's time to seeing that nw subscribers pour in. If concerted effort la cot made, if shoulders are not put to the wheel, the new liberty loan drive will not be a success. If is far more important to the country than the winning of any battle or the sinking of a fleet. If the -word reaches Germany that the loan has not made good there will be rejoicing in Potsdam. . t.? .:. turn in r.nd make Mr. Hay's campaign a great success.

PATRIOTISM AND SINCERITY. Ther? was a time when the most emphasized American ideal was "progressiveness." It was the fashion in ideals. Everybody who cared about the opinion cf th8? community felt obliged to call himself '"progressive." And the result was peculiar. M?n who were regarded by their fellow-citizens as typical specimens of conservatism, and even of reactlcnism, maintained just 5 stoutly as the howling radicals that' they were, and always had been, genuine progressives. It was almost impossible to find a man either in public or private life who would admit that he was a conservative. There was much talk of "insincerity." But the backward-looking and forward talking gentlemen were not necessarily hypocritical when they j.dopted the current phraseology. Nearly all of them undoubtedly thought that They vrc-re facing forward. And men who were politically bat-blind insisted on defining political progress. Of course, they were mistaken. But they were sincere, as most men are who amount to anything. Today the shibboleth is " Americanism." And we have much the same situation. Americans of all sorts are vying with each other in their patriotic protestations. The phrase most in favor at the moment is "America first." There is not a citizen, no matter what his affiliations or preferences, who doesn't insist that he is for America first, last and all the time. The more any man's Americanism is questioned the more vociferously he maintains that it is of the 24-carat variety. Thus we have the peculiar phenomenon of citizens born aliens, or the eons of aliens, characterized by intense foreign sympathies in the present crisis, not only defending their loyalty to the United States which is proper and admirable but insisting that they are the very best Americans and the best judges of what constitutes Americanism. And doubtless most of these men, too. are .sincere about it. They are honest but woefully mistaken. And they need not be abused because they can't see themselves as others see them. Abuse never gets us anywhere. What we need is clear thinking.

THE CONSCRIPT. The government, scheme of insurance, indemnities and family' allowance for conscripts is good in its main intentions, but we should not forget that many oT these young men face a loss for which public indemnification is out of the question. Talks with the young soldiers we happen to know indicates that the bodily perils of warfare give them little concern. The young men of our acquaintance who volunteered for the officers," training camps or some other term of service having once taken the plur ge and acquired some military experience are now looking forward with healthy, youthful zost. to a big, unique dramatic adventure. Some of them tried for commissions in the regular army and are talking hopefully of a life devoted tp the profession of arms. But these are all young, single men. who were only getting started in civil life. Among the conscripts are cases of different complexion here a professional man, who, after a long, expensive special education and the usual lean novitiate, was just getting a good clientele, to which, along with wife and child, he bids adeau; there one who had reason to expect a partnership iu the firm within a year. An age limit to thirty-one strikes a good many young men who, having

fore, in the stress of war it becomes necessary to take over plants or control prices, unless the desired results ofrensonable prices can be obtained by understanding with the producers. When I say reasonable prices, I mean reasonable prices not only for the government but for the public. It is not to be imagined that a country can successfully prosecute a war, even though it obtains its supplies at reasonable prices, if its industrial forces at home are upset by strikes and lookouts. Increasing prices inva

riably mean a ferment of labor troubles, which in turn materially impair j

the military strength of a nation at the front. The laborer is bound to compare the amount which a dollar of his wages will buy today with what it would buy a month and a year ago. lie has to do this ; he is compelled to contend all the time for the maintenance of the power of his wages. If things go up in price his wages must go up, too. We must avoid ftich a race between prices ami wages by keeping prices down, not only for the sake of conserving all our present industrial strength for war purposes, but for the sake of the economic welfare of the United States after the war in its international trade relations. If we do not avoid such a race between prices and wages both will increase eteadilv till the end of the war, when our wage level will be above that

of the other belligerent countries in which there has been better control, j Gary I'and r 's lnl ....... . . ... . . i Sub.

And the country with the highest wage lerel will then be at a disadvantage. Its cost of production of all commodities will be above that of the other countries, which will put it out of the running in any competition La its own markets and in the markets of the world. And the high wage level will also bring an influx of labor which the country -will not be able to handle. Every consideration, therefore, demands that a proper price level shall te maintained by government regulation, and this, of course, involves a form of state socialism.

KANSAS GOVERNOR SAYS TIIEY ARE SLACKERS. Because the United States Steel Corporation hus a natural monopoly of raw material, it can and does make its own terms to the government and the world. Because the people do not control nor mine thr-ir coal deposits, they have always been exploited by the private owners of these natural resources. The copper trust, the owner of another nat jral monopoly and one of the greatest of the war's profiteers, always has exploited the public. Also it exploits its miners. In Arizona and Montana they are now striking for better pay. Congresswoman Jeannettc Rankin told the house recently in her first, spoech, that Ihese men work under conditions so unsafe that when they leave home in the morning their wives never know they will ever return. It is corporations of this kind that are making, and have made, billions of excess profits out of the war. Shall they be spared and only ihe lives and small purses drafted? Capper's Weekly.
