benefit of the subscriptions to the certificates of indebtedness is seen in. the means they offer of paying tho taxes in advance, thus avoiding the strain on money and banking facilities which could be caused If the transfer of such a huge amount -were deferred until maturity.

HOLD-UP IN SHOES.

The announcement that the government is planning an investigation info the cost of shoes w-ill be welcomed by the people of the country who are firmly convinced that they are being shamefully exploited. The manufacturer, we all realize, is paying more Tor his labor than he did a few years ago and his hides also cost him more than they did, yet it is notorious that this increased expense of his doe3 not warrant thirty per cent of the added price exacted from the man or woman who buys shoes at the retail store. Moreover, it is apparent that the retailer is not the beneficiary of the exaltation cf prices. The piracy lies elsewhere and if a governmental investigation can disclose the facts, place the "blame, and enforce remedial measures, it w ill be worth -while. Everybody wears shoes just as everybody eats, and a dictator for footwear may be the next thins; In order. But some cf the ladies, we fear, -would object to that, for in England it has resulted In the standardized shoe while comfortable and common-sense, ia downright ugly, we are told. Neither does it appear in fetching hades of ivory, bronze, white, or Alice blue. It's just a black phoe and it doesn't extend nearly to the knee in order to meet the requirements that dress skirts must come within six inches of the phoe tops. Abas the standardized shoe' Better far one made of papier-macho, if only it conforms to fashion. Fort Wayne News.

AGAINST ALIEN VOTERS. The country would be jdad to know that. Indiana has a congressman by the name of Fair3eld who is Kolng to get after this alien voting business. The states themselves must see that foreigners do not continue to administer our political affairs. But Fairfield's proposition is to amend tho constitution of tho United States so as to limit suffrage to American citizens. The Intent here is good, but the road to travel Is a long one. Regardless of what the United States and other states do, Indiana ought, to start the process to a constitutional amendment that would put a stop to the absurd and dangerous conditions that surround the franchise. Here we are electing a mayor in Michigan City (and perhaps in other towns) -who is not even a citirer, and who has the support of so many other aliens that it is difficult for an American to have a show in the contest for office. H can be restricted to the city hall and the back yard under war regulations but we ought not to be forced to set up a guard around our mayors and o'her officials whn there is real war work to be done. It follows, of course, that if aliens cannot vote they should not hold office. Politicians of all parties have brought this eurse upon u?. They have encouraged men who hare Just landed to take out first papers before they can write their names in our language or know what state or county they are voting in. Indianapolis News. Tes, maybe Congressman FairfVld's action will stop the mill practice tf giving out. "numbered" slips to nonEnglish ppeaklng first-paper foreigners, indicating to them how they are to vote in the primary or regular "lection. V.'hat mayor or other office holder may be elected by this practice of using aliens .to debauch the ballot!

is the situation months after we had declared war. No

preparation -was ,made in advance. For two years and more w-e wasted time and actually did nothing whatever in the way of preparation. We are not 6aying these things for the mere ake of criticism, but. to call attention to tho fact that, in spite of the millions billions spent, we are still only getting ready to do something "We must speed up," declares Secretary Baker. It is at least comforting to learn that the Secretary has reached this point, for he doubtless voices the opinion of the administration. But in the multiplicity of boards and committees -with which the administration has surrounded Itself, is there the co-operative work that roakea for speed? Do these-varied hoards know how to achieve speed? Philadelphia Enquirer.

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS INSURANCE. To the man who hast gone to the colon the United States Government offers the safest, the most liberal and the cheapest insurance on the face of the earth. Approximately 200,000 men have accepted the Government's offer, applying for insurance of about two and three-enaarter billions of dollars. The average amount applied for per man is more than $S.G0O, which is very close to the $10,000 maximum provided for by the law. This insurance total, great es it is, should be only a beginning. Every person in the military and naval forces of the Nation owes to himself and to those he lovog to avail h'msolf of the full insurance protection. But the time in which he can do so is limited. Prompt action Is imperative. Those who joined the service before October 15, 1917, must apply for the insurance on or before February 12, 191S. After that, it will be too late. The automatic insurance which is provided after February 12, 191?, is only partial protection. Parents, brothers and sisters, who have a representative of their family In the Army or Navy should, for their own sake, and for his, write to him at once urs?n; Mm, if he has not already done so, to buy the Government insurance. They should urge him to buy the full $10,000. and, above all, to buy it now. '
