"The rates varied accordine to distance and in 1772 were as follows: For miles and under 6 cents; from ?,0 to 00 miles, S cents; 60 to 100 miles, 10 Tils; 100 to 150 miles, 12 cents; 130 to 2 CO miles, 1Z cents; 200 to 250 miles., 7 cents: 27.0 to ll.'.i) miit ?, 2 o cen'r; ","0 to 43') miles, 22 cents, and for ail dislices above -l-'e miles the rate was 25 cents.

cent stockyards lire in Kaunas City. (Mo.) where 11,000 cattle and 3,300 hogs burned; and the recurrent Dow Stores fires in Brooklyn, where nearly a mill:on bushels of grain went up in smoke in four day3 in October. These losses may be regarded as the result of more than "public dereliction," they may fairly be described as criminal, even apart from the undoubted fact that some of them have been incendiary in origin.

THE FOLLY OF EXPERIMENTING. Mayor Walter E. Schrage of Whiting has guided the destinies of that city well during the four years he has held the reins of government in his hands. He goes before the people tomorrow as a candidate for re-election with a clean record and one that is entitled to support. In the only real issue that his opponents have been able to brinfr forth he has had tho support of the state board of health, which sent Dr. Hurty to Whiting to show 'he people that the filtration fystem is the only way in which they tan have pure water. That is one thing the people of Whiting cannot afford to experiment with-pure water. If they defeat Mayor Schrage it will be experi"n n'ul with in a way that may bring disaster.

THINK IT OYER. Jlpmrrtopd's people had better wake up before it is too late ami ask themse've? why the innoc nt and ingenuous Dan Brown won't be put'y in the hands of the sanctimonious iloa;' vz( r -truculent ruardian of the powerful, f ivilegfe-s-ceking trusts, railroad, corporations, and the REAL P-ACKER, FUPFORTER AND ''COSTER FOR BROWN? It is about time Hammond people are asking themselves WIIEItD THEY ARE GOING TO HEAD IN hen Bonibetger, lecal reynard and Man Frida for tho trusts, gets his and T-TCOMES BROWN'S PRIME MINISTER?

WHEN THE BOYS ARRIVE It is a pity that those in authority in Washington are so reluctant to allow the publication of the safe arrival of this or that unit of troops in France. The policy of "no news is good news" is far from being satisfactory to parents and friends, says the Boston Herald. There are obvious reasons why the departure of troops for the other Fide should be guarded with all possible secrecy, but v.h"n a regiment or a brigade or a division has once reached there the situation may well he viewed in another light. There is not the remotest likelihood that Berlin is in the slightest doubt as to the number and disposition of out troeps in Fiance, or that any policy of news suppression that Washington can enforce in this country will deceive or confuse Berlin in that matter. It may be possible to keep German rpies in this country from sending information to' Berlin, and In that hope lies the justification of all possible sec-

Lrecy surrounding the sailing of transports, but once our troops are in France

you may be sure that Berlin knows all about it almost as soon as Paris or London does. Why, then, the Washington policy of the suppression of what is only the routine news of the war. the news that comes close to the homes and the hearts of the people who are called on to suppi-t the war with unending energy and enthusiasm? Nobody seems to know. It is one of the Washington mysteries and there an many of them these days. No such policy has prevailed in Canada or in the British colonies. There the safe arrival of troops at their European destination has promptly been made public. Th Washington censorship, and especially the Creel publicity bureau, deserve all the ridicule that has been heaped upon them, but the thing gets beyond ridicule when a few families are allowed to get. cablegrams from their boys who are in a certain unit and when hundreds of the other families that have beiys in that same unit are left in harrowing uncertainty as to the safe arrival nf the boys in France.

STOP THE FIRES AND WIN THE WAR From May 1 to October 10 (inclusive), this year, enough food has gone in smoke in th" United States, each minute, to feed 135 American soldiers i.n" day, or to feed one American soldier l.'bJ days. Multiply this $50.45 by minutes and hours in the 169 days in five and onehalf mon'b.s, and you have the stupendous sum of Jl 2.274'-: which is the i nown food fire loss of the country during th period under con?ideration. The unl. nown food fire loss of the period might e asily double this total, as here is no means of tabulating or even Identifying many of these losses, - hich include food destroyed by fire in residences, apartment houses, restaurants, hotels, groceries, general and department stores, bakeries and delicates((ii shops, farm barns and other buildings, and considerable amount.-, in transit by rail and water. This known fire loss has involved the destruction of tnoueh food to supply be potential American army of a million men abroad for 33 days at the reeu lar army allowance of 37 cents per diem for each man, with an extra meal for half a million men. Most of the unknown fire loss in food i3 the outcome of that American carelessness which President Wilson has defined as "a public dereliction." Individual losses are small, but the aggregate is tremendous, and is vitally affecting the National Well being. The remedy, for the most part, lies In greattr care, extreme vigilance, provision of the simpler and less expensive forms of fire prevention and protection equipment, and fuller utilization of equiptnont already provided. The known losses usually are large; frequently an individual loss may f. vrlv be described as stupendous, and is disastrous in its effect. Of such naas. -his are the Rochester (N.Y.) elevator fire in the early summer, whim .,ti-1v n rrollicirt dollar" worth of nvrn and other food was destroyed; the re-

HARD TIMES FOR REFORMERS The lot of the reformer is hard. Time was when the poor of South Chicago offered unresisting prey to this form of interference. For years the rig. arette was a popular target. One well-known reformer almost worked herself out of a job by getting a bill passed abolishing this dreadful dissipation of the Y. M. C. A. But fortunately for her and the rest of mankind the bill was shelved, so she still solicits contributions and the rest of us continue to smoke. But now times have changed. There are few if any poor or unemployed in and about Chicago, cigarettes have become popular enough to send to our soldiers, there is no "red light" district and the reformers have little or nothing to reform but themselves. An eastern critic says that in Chicago "The -harp winds from the lake seem to be a perpetual antidote to that Puritan mugginess of soul which wars with civilization in other American cities." Would that this were true. But, the reformer has discovered the diabolical cabaret, an artistic crime but morally about as dangerous as a pasteurized milk-shake at a Sunday school picnic. However, the reformer digs up heartr nd'ng tales from the vile depths of the cabaret. A girl who once went to a cabaret "fell." Yes, 'we dare say. So have girls who have gone to church, to the thea.re, to the old mill stream, to the Art Institute, the movie, across the street, lame, blind, dippy, to the corner grocery, fishing, rowing, skating, walking in fact since some time aeo Mother Nature implanted tho celestial spark in the breast of man, girls have "gone wrong" under about as many circumstances and for about as many alleged reasons as might be listed in the eleventh edition of the Encyclopedia Pritannica, says the Calumet Press.

WE'LL pa3S up all this politics for a good dish of cranberries. i THE steel trust and others had to be reminded by the president tit tins is no time to peek war profits, and tomorrow the people of Gary are inc to remind the steel trust that its political agents must leave them fr to ennd"et their own citv eovernnienf .
