TIME FOR THE INVENTORY. On the eve or a pie-nomination campaign in Lake county for county offices Is it wise for the republican party leaders to recommit themselves to a dying political policy without giving it the gravest, consideration possible? Is it good politics to go into a hazardous situation Wind folded, hands and feet tied, and sewed up in a bag? Isn't it just about time for the republican party to take an inventory and realize seriously in the stock-taking that portentous clouds have appeared on the county political horizon? Do the municipal elections count for nothing? If the republican leaders in Lake county win only fcr the nest month get
close to the people in Lake county they will, by putting their ears to the fround, get first-hand and positive knowledge that the taxpayers of ihe county are determined on one thing, and that is tie ending of the parceling out of political offices in the courthouse at Crown Point by what has been called the ring." The republican ring in Lake county politics is anathema wkh the taxpayers, from Lake Michigan to the Kankakee river. The taxpayers have revolted. There is a storm gathering on the political horizon that is ominous and it rests with th-e republican leaders whether it is to break and engulf the party or not. This is jut as sure as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Eight years ago this paper warned republican leaders that the end of ling domination tn Lake county politics was only a matter of time. Before acy nominations have been made this paper aeain warns the republican party that it is time to clean house. The party may scoff at the warning. Jfcis paper doesn't pose as a Noah, but its investigations over the county in every city and town within its boundaries during the past, three weeks prove
that the taxpayers are whetting the finest and sharpest lot of knives ever seen in one collection and are going out after scalps. They are going after them hard, too. We believe it to be wise for the republican party leaders to a least f.dinii there may be some truth in these statements? Why is it necessary to ride rough shod over the voters? What justice is There for a clique of politicians in the most important ounty in Indiana in the greatest manufacturing district in the world, to dictate for years in advance just who shall have this office or that office, regardless of talent, character, ability, worth, regardless of anything? Do the members of the so-called republican ring think for a minute that the people of Lake county are dead from the neck up and are going to put tip with these intolerable conditions forever? These questions are worth study and careful consideration. The republican party in Lake county ought to scratch its head and do a liitle ihinking. The situation is grave.
A BIO JOB AHEAD OF CONGRESS.
The second session of the war congress, which begins Monday, will have soe big problems to handle. Taxation, regulation of profits, amendments to the draft law. sterner espionage statutes, enlargement of the array and navy, vast appropriations, development of waterways, possible ware fixing regulations, and universal service will be among the things that will come up. Taxation is one of congress' greatest problems. To adequately distribute the burden so that all may share alike is one phase of it, but the greater task is to raise the money. It will be America's most important congress, both as to expenditures and the scope of work done. Not unlikely it will be strictly a war congress in the sense that the last one was, for war with Austria impends.

WIRT, BANKER. The entry of William Wirt, the educator, into the banking game at Gary ia nothing out of the ordinary. Wirt becomes president of the newlyorganized National Bank of America, which is housed in the finest, banking building in Indiana, outside of Indianapolis. He becomes head of Gary's tnih bank, its second national bank. In school management Wirt has shown a talent for finance. It was greatly because of his ability to interpret New York's muddled school financial condition, where the city educational bddget each year totals MV'00,0'o, that Mayor Mitchel sought the Gary man's advice. Having been such a brilliant exponent of school finance the schoolmaster TU.ght to do very well in the banking world.
THIS IS ABOUT MUSIC. Music is a war time necessity, says a Yictrola advertisement. In camp, m. trench, at the Y. M. C. A. and in the home music is a needed sustainer. "To the mysterious power of music the pulse responds and hopes run high" so when they decree what luxuries must not be made during the war music boxes and musical instruments must not be included in the list. Speaking of military music the war department has learned that the French set a higher valup on it tban we do. It has been found that music ha? contributed greatly to keeping up the general morale. Each French regiment not only has a larger band than is the custom in

Mrs. Lindsey Nott Keeps House For Seven. Tennille,Ga. "I want to tell you how much I have been benefi ted ly Lydia E. Tinkham's Vegetable Compound. About eight years ago I got in such a low state of health I was unable to keep house for three in the family. I had dull, tired, dizzy feelings, cold feet and hands nearly all the time and could scarcely sleep at all. The doctor said I had a severe case of ulceration and without an operation I would always be an invalid, but I told him I wanted to wait awhile. Our druggist advised my husband to get Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound and it has entirely cured me. Now I keep house for seven and work in the garden some, too. I am so thankful I got this medicine. I feel as though it saved my life and have recommended it to others and they have been benefited". Mrs. W. E. Lindsey, 1l R. 3, Tennille, Ga. If you want special advice write to Lydia IS.
