THE Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN.

Duties we must not shirk are constantly being trust upon us &s America ftunges mora and more deeply into the war for salvation. Demands are being made upon us which, at any ohr time, would seem unreasonable. One week it is the Red Cross that asks for help. The next week it is the food conservation movement. Th following week it is a Liberty Loan c.rnpaicn. Then comes an appeal for Chrisiraas gifts for our soldier boys at the front. And no"!r it is the Y. M. C. A. that is claiming our a'tention and interest. These are all important agencies, vitally essential to America's cause. And with so much at stake we cannot afford to question their necessity. Occasionally we find a person complaining about the steady drain on his purse occasioned by these patriotic enterprises. Generally, such a person has little to complain about, for in nine cases out of ten he will be found to be one who sel

dom, If ever, gives anything to such worthy causes. He is simply a short- ' u

sighted obstructionist. The government has plenty of authority to deal frmly with traitors but it. is more difficult to handle the obstructionist, says the Lafayette Courier. He plays ih game safely. Sooner or later a way must be found to deal with this species of disloyalty. Just now we can onlybrand such offenders with contempt and ignore their ravings. There is not a particle ot doubt in any discriminating: mind concerning the worthiness of

In an election, the results of which seemed to have been purposely ohsfured and from which certain actual figures have ben refused, Mr. Hodges apparently won, although TO per cent of the people of Garv voted acainst b.Im

and the eight steel trust officials, who-were candidates for council on bis j

ticket. In an election in which Mayor Johnson was not represented by a member on the election board, in which he did not have a single inspector, clerkjudge or watcher in any of the 62 precincts and where there nr evidences of juggling with figures and failure to count all of the ballots cast for the mayor. Mr. Hodges stands out y the apparent winner. It is well that contfs's have been started for the action will probably settle, for once and gooc whether honesty or crookedness marked the election, whether there was a deliberate plot to steal it. and whether there should not be a crand jury investigation into the whole mess. Mr. Hodges, in the lead by grace of thirty per cent of the people of-Gary. cannot, nor can his advisors, object to anv contest. If Mr. Hodges is not

rightfully entitled to the mayoralty he surely would not want to tak it wj-h j a blot on its title. In the meantime the efforts of either individuals or cdi-' Tmxs BU3f'

THE HARM OF GOSSIP.

If Eome people in this community only realized the almost Incredibl

amount of harm they are doing some of its most important business factors they would think twice before they repeated the scandalous gossip that is heing reddled regarding this man or that man and thir symparbles in this war. This sossip has reached the stage where, like th" rolling snowball, its proportions are added to daily. The injustice of it ail is so parent and so manifest that It becomes a problem how to counteract the malicious lies in circulation. Hero Is a case in point: The writer k-i v-s of one business man whose discretion is model, whose disposition wou;.'. ,.i:k.- him go out of his way before he would harm an insect even in ordinary rimes. In th-s days of general conflagration and wildfire he has been ;C1 the more circumspect. M hat been a loyal supporter of his government. Ho purchased liberallv of the first bond flotation; he contributed richly to th Red Cross, ho bought again of the second Liberty Loan; he has given more than his share to the Y. M. C. A. war work council, yet the wildest stories how hy ha b?n arrested by federal officers, bound over for diFloyalry, and other rot are being circulated. This is a sham1 and an outrage. Tl ere are many other cases where this paper, one that -urety can rever be said to be anything but bittsrly hostile to pro-German war sentiment, knows that certain citizens and business men of this community have been misjudged and even slunderrd by thoughtless gossip peddlers. It is a tim of all times to bridle tho wagging tongue. A word may ruin a reputation or v reck a life. Let ua not give heed to the forked tongue of slander. If ever ther was a time in the history of the community when not a pennyweight should be added to the burden any man carries, it is now. We c!o not believe that there is a single newspaper which would for any reason suppress the story of any man's disloyalty jthese days, so unless you ee it in print don't believe it. Give your neighbor the benefit of the doubt.

HOUSING CONDITIONS. Like in ail munitions centers the increase in population, due to the bringing in of workmen, has caused congestion in houstng conditions. They exist in this county, srd one of the tctito pioMerns is 'hat of provides proper liviLg quar'.Lie for coi-m il peOkio f.o:.. ;h. aouvit. It would seem 'hat local eommunitic will have to be stricter 'n enforcing the laws of sai.lt a'.icr., tut :.s fir a ho . dr ; 'h- workmen ani ilieir families it is also up to the industries that attracts them to assist in solving the problem. It is not enough that, private investors erect homes and shacks, but employing concerns ought to take an interest in their white and color'-d workmen other than to see thai thy do their work well. About th bept breeders of crime, Tice and disease ate improper housing conditions or no housing conditions at all, and reformers may deplore and grand juries may be appalled at what ensues, but this is not getting at the. root of things. In sensing possible racial trouble in the indiscriminate mixing of races the adjutant general of Indiana is correct in his views and it is well that tho state health board is co-operating with him. There must be better facilities for th; newcomers, and we will have to work out these problems here just l.ko we i.ae met other problems that have arijen from (he war. Instead of assailing city administrations as has been tho cp.se in Gary, where emissaries of a great business have been trying to cover up their own neglect by attempting to raise a cloud of dust the community, its government, ani its industries will have to co-operate to house the whole population. That's the only solution we know of the situation.
