Lake County's Roll of Honor

THE TEST. We might a we'd say right, now that no man should bp elected to congress next November if he subscribes to tho democratic doctrine that it is no loss to America to buy goods in Asia if they can be bought there cheapcr Uiau at home. Every workman should ask every candidate how he stands upon that proposit ion, and the man who stands for Asiatic labor first should be elected to fay at home. Just now labor has all the employment i' want?, but there is a peace period coming, and for that we should now prepare.

WHAT A NEWSPAPER MEANS. What does the newspaper mean to you? There is so much news no one can carry all of it. Someone must make selection. Do you appreciate how much depend? upon this selection? Upon the selection and emphasis cf the news depends the picture of thi world upon which your judgements are based. If a business man, vour decision in business is affected by the newspaper you read.' In Politics your opinions as a voter are swayed by t hem. By what your wife reads you can see The trend of many of her interests and needs. You have your thought turned in a new channel perhaps by what you read, and. when you find others concerned as you are and that the idea has been followed in their brains as in yours, you possibly discover how ;ou can do collectively what you alone never could accomplish. The newspaper enlarges the viewpoint of life for your boy in his college years. Stories of high purpose of achievement strengthen and uplift his standards. Tbe great world of life which he has not touched exists o him only as presented by the newspaper.

INDIANA'S MOST INDUSTRIAL CITY.

New industries keep t-oruing. others are about to come and existing ones expand, doubly, at East t'bi'-ajro-Indiana Harbor. No other locality in the Mate has taken on such an industrial center in the t-tate has been

the fcene of such-recent development. The Inland

plant has doubled its size. new plant, blast -furnaces and coke ovens in the shape of the Marks works is building. About completed is ihe $1 :.000.o00 OklahomaIndiana pipe line and refineries of the Sinclair Oil and America's largest western gun forging works at the Standard Steel Torgings. Expansion at the Edwards Valve, at three car plants, and ihe new foundrv plant of the Hubbard company are among new project?. Any one of these new industries or expansion of existing ones would crease a furore in any other part of the state not in this steed belt, yet such news is taken as commonplace here. This means much to'Gary as weil as( to Hammond and Whiting, pointing plainly to all that the industrial gains of one is the gain of

another, but also that the growing need of affect all.

THE COUNTRY GENERAL STORE.

One must sck longer and farther than formerly for the country general store in the United States, of the type that has been pictured in song and story, but. if one pursues the quest longi enough and far enough, reward will crown the efforts. The general store has clung longer to the East and the Pouui than 'o the new and largely unfashioned West. But even in the rural West the general store has not become wholly extinct, as ma;- be learned in the course of a day's run by automobile through almost

j any of the trans-mississippi states. Whether in the j West, or South or East, ho'vrr, the general ytore j j usually as true to type as it was haif or three-quarters of a century ago. It can be seen from rfar, generally at

THE CREEL PUBLICITY TRUST. The great advantage the democrats have in the coming campaign because of their control of the Official Bulletin, is a factor not to be overlooked. By very adroit use of that publication, the administration can aid very materially to keep The democratic party in control of Congress. Of course the Bulletin will not be openly and aggressively used for partisan purposes, but by crafty and hidden methods, it will serve the purpose even better than if made an avowedly partisan 01 can. As an illustration of what can be done by clever publicists, a paragraph in the issue of February IS may b cited. In the report of senate debate it is stated that Senator Weeks, of Massachusetts, delivered a prepared speech on the military situation, but nothing is given to show what he said. The follows the statement that Senator Kiiby, democratic member of the military affairs committee, declared that "many things said in debate by critics of the administration of the war department were 'gross c xaggeraf ions." "' This is not the only case in which the Bulletin has carefully avoided telling what critics of the adminis ration had to say, but told what supporters of the party in power said on the same occasion. In tbe ircpor'ant. an of publicity, this administration is -aithout a. peer in the history of the world, and the Official Bulletin, compiled, published and distributed at public expense, will be made use of just as far as compatible with partisan interests. Ii won't be used to such an extent as to spoil a great opportunity by overplaying the game.

POPE BENEDICT.

Were not the news of tbe war crowding the front page, thus limiting lights on the personality world figures no doubt the Rome cables would have iuore 10 say about Benedict the man. A correspondent, of the London Observer partly supplies the deficiency. It will be remembered that. Cardinal Dellaehiesa came to the papal throne early in September, 1914. It was at most a critical time: the beginning of the war. The peaceful Pius sank into his grave when he beheld the catastrophe dawn. In his place came Dellaehiesa, archbishop of the simple city of Bologna and cardinal but 100 days. From comparative obscurity tbe Bolognese prelate advanced to the red hat and then to the siic-

are renewed by the storekeeper, for they help to keep some of his cu-nomem occupied on the outside while be waits upon others on the inside. The general si or keeper, in the very necessity of the case, must be a rapid thinker, a fluent talker, and a man of inexhaustible good nature. As general store keeper he is. cx-officio, postmaster, squire, insurance agent, mortgage banker, legal adviser, road commissioner and collector, and disseminator of local news; and while he is measuring molasses, he is either telling what .led Hankin's son said on a postal card received for his father that morning, or recounting the latest news from - the western front, as printed in Judge Thompson's newspaper. In the purely commercial way, his ranee of activity is from the cracker-box to the e.eg-cra"e, to the dressgoods coun'er, to the money-order window, to the gent's furnishing shelves, to the apple barrel, to the letterdelivery window, to the flour bin, to the novelty counter, to the postage-stamp drawer, to the hardware department, back and forth between all cf them, "'setfin"

things before this customer and then their orders when they are ready for

j in up, ana keeping up a running conversation with , persons on one side of the store while carmnr nn u

discussion on political, social, or economic quest ions with the barrel-sitters or "round-lbe-stove-sitters"" on the other side, or down the middle.

The general store has never been put in order.

Almost as great a portion scarcely think of asking for their mail, but go behind the glassground partition and take what is theirs. Th generalstore patrons know one another's business; thev have long inc -seen the fu ility of trying to keep their private affairs secret, and, it there is anything going on within a radius of fen miles which tbe general-store keeper has not beard of, his delinquency becomes a topic of conversation and a subject of criticism along the whole countryside, and his friends shake their hads and wonder what's the matter with Mose Wilkins, any. how. christian .Science Mon;:n;-.
