wholesome public sentiment. While not so brilliant in editorial expression as the City dailies are whjeh employ writers to comment on the Issues of the hour, the country papers as a rule are edited by the men who own them, and henco reflect a practical common sense view point. To keep in touch ith the real sentiment of citirenship that has the Independence and ability to maintain itself in the open country, instead of drifting to tho congestion of the metropolis, every business man ought to subscribe for a few country weeklies or small town dailies. And make his wares known to that same independ ent and sturdy citizenship.

ALL AMERICANS CAN SERVE.

Kvery mrn, woman and child in this country, who! v.art's o serve the country, can serve lr and serve it; very effectively and simply. Secretary McAdoo says, j

MEMORIAM"

(From the Chicago Examiner.)

F.rni:SFNTATIVKS of Hammond. Whit

ing. Indiana Harbor, Kat Chicago and Gary lately conferred with trustee" of

the Chicago sanitary district as to the feasibility of an independent sanitary district for the northern Indiana cities and towns. The plan is to collect th sewage of the five towns named, chemically purify ittand convey it by canal to the state line, where It will be diverted to the Illinois drainage canal. The theory is that by co-operation of the tto sanitary districts all sewage would be diverted from Lake Michigan and the purity of water supplied to all cities and towns at the lower end of Lake Michigan safeguarded. A single organlza'Ion is, of coarse. Impossible, on political and geographical grounds. Chicago'? sanitary district cannot overlap ?T e Indiana state border; neither can the state of Indiana create a sanitary dietrirt except in its own territory. Yet it is a fact that during the last twentyfive years, since Chicago's drainage canal "was first opened, the rise of northern Indiana manufacturing cities has given Chicago's . drainage problem unexpected phases. For if is clear that if these Indiana cities, v ith rapidly growing population, were allowed to discharge their sewage into Lake Michigan, th major effect of Chicago's enormous outlay for its drainage channel southward would be lost. The reflex of this proposition is that public health in the Indiana cities can be maintained only by a pure water supply, and that this latter is impossible unless Chicago and all the minor cities across the slate line cease polluting Lake Michigan. In short, it is as much to Chicago's advantage today to give the northern Indiana cities pioper drainage and a pure water supply as it is to the Indiana people's advantage to tax themselves for making connections with Chicago's sanitary channel.

THE PROGRAM OF THE BRITISH LABOR PARTY. In the American scheme of politics there is r.o counterpart of the British Labor party, which is a powerful factor in England and which commands the attention of the government m power. This British parly has its eye on the future and it Is no great prediction to say here that in the dawn of the new social order overseas that organization will be very powerful, if not dominating the House of Commons. And remember, when the soldiers come back from the trenches most of them may be in this party and the will demand a new deal. In its program recently announced the party gave 'ho 'four pillars that we propose to erect, resting upon the common foundations of the democratic control of society in all its activities;- thus . "ia(-The universal enforcement of the national minimum. "tbi The democratic control of national industrj. "tci The revolution in national finance; and "(d) The surplus wealth for the common good." Conception of the national minimum is to be worked out. To prepare for the possibility of any unemployment during demobilization or the first years of peace it is urged that the government attend to rehousing, new roads, light railways, afforestation, land reclamation, development of harbor facilities and enlargement of 1 clinical ' schools. Other parts of the program call for: If unemployment threatens, to raise the srhool-ler.v-ing age to 16. . To shor'en the hours of labor 'to not rnor" than 4" hours a week. Suspension of the military service art when war ends. No return of railways to companies af'er the war. but continued government ownership. Nationalized mines and coal of standard quality for rich and poor alike. National health insurance, bu' this canno b had until the government takes over profit-making companies. To allow localities to prohibit the sale of liquor, and where liquor is sold to provide for adequate regulation. Income tax reforms. Common ownership of the nation's land as suitable opportunities occur. To many of us this program may seem a lift;.-- advanced, but we must remember that in working out probles of reconstruction in England is ahead of us. It

is aiso SigniQcant mat tne j.ngnsn laiiorites ieei a -tout i

the coal situation like every one does here.

That serieo is to lend your money to the Government. Kvery 23 cents loaned to the Government is a help a: this time and practically every man, woman and child by making some trifline sacrifice, sone denial of a pleasure, or giving up some indulgence, can render the Government that support. Kvery 25 cents will do something to help a wounded American soldier, wounded fighting or the American people and American liberty. Every cent loaned to the Government contributes something for the safety and sireneth and success of our soldiers and sailors, equipping iheiu, maintaining them, clothing t hern, feeding them, and giving them artillery and ammunition and

all tilings needed for their efficiency and triumph. j

The whole problem is a procressive one. We do not know how long Chicago's sanitary district will exist as an independent taxing body. . Wo do not. even know how long this mighty community will rely upon sewage dilution n the last word in the maintenance of public health. Science has evolved other methods of sewage disposal besides tjie hydraulic method and mo.-t of the world's large cities no longer rely on M.e latter. 'hicago's sewage problem may be tentative In the abstract, but the city's policy of making the most out. of its costly drainage channtl if xed for well defined reasons. First, the essence of the entire sewace dilution scheme is a sufficient fiow of water from Lake Michigan. It is a singular fact that the objection' to taking this necessary tlow of water from Lake Michigan were never raised until after Chicago had spent nearly a hundred million dollars in building its drainage channel. Lately the sanitary district trustees tried to stop litigation and quibbling over ihis ma'ter by offering to build controlling works, at Chicago's expense, for the maintenance of lower lake levels. The federal government has not ye; accepted this proposal because of the objections of, big power plant companies in the Niagara district. Thus, Chicago's drainage problem is certain to become a question of national moment. The courts may yet have to deride whether the health of nearly ".Ofju.OuO people, at the foot of Lake Michigan, is as important as dividend" for power plant companies. The whole theory of reducing lake levels by giving Chicago's sanitary channel a sufficient flow for the maintenance of public health is ridiculed by some of the highest engineering authorities. Gut Chicago has to meet conditions, not. theories, and in meeting them we should prize the moral help of our Indiana neighbors.

Monroe Doctrine is still as sound as wbpn it was first w ritten. Surely the cause of Democracy as

(seen by the world today will render it

in part valueless. The first declaration of the 'Doctrine isn't In harmony with Genesis 4&; is a somewhat selflsh view- and a stand that cannot consistently be maintained in view of the dsigns of the pr"ent day Hun. True.
