quarter, 'Washington. P. C. Jan. 17, 1918. My Pear Mr. Huntress.

Terir.it me to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of your letter of January S. including: resolutions passed by the Allentown Chamber of Commerce, and by Its direction forwarded to commercial ores ni in t Ions throughout the United States and to members of the rennsy! v.mia delegation In ConKiess. I regret that there was not opportunity for consultation and wider discussion, before your estimable organization so recorded Itself, as I am convinced It would be a mistake, at this time, to support Red Cross. e en in part, by concessional appropriation. I understand the business man'a side of the question, the claims upon his time, money and staff, the diversion in his community by canvassing campaigns and the inequality that marks th distribution cf the common burden, i'lt I am convinced that he patiently should abide these minor ills for the, srreater ftood. I am convinced. Is bains accomplished. As I see Red Cross, with its widspread operations, it Is a great auxil

iary to the Government in war. made the more helpful because it claims no time from a rapidly expanded admlniMration pressed bv many problems, recruit no operating personnel from those liable for military duty, and Imposes no financial burden or responsibility upon the national treasury. I see it as the organization and the expression of that patriotic citizenry anxious to pay mors taxes to help win the war, ea?er to cars for Its sons called to arms and ready to extend th hand of bounty to those, In need in other lands. I se It a a noble rrginizntion, free from legislative d!ay. capable of wid service not easy of accomplishment by our povc rnment. that in emergency or disaster can act instantly. I see it as a great .educational factor of profound Inward Influence upon pur national life, moving toward mutual understanding and sympathies helpful to our social life, and now an Impressive, example cf cur national unity and solidarity. I believe that the effect Inevitable of Government contribution to Tt-d Cross would be the discouragement and discontinuance ,.f private support

and its conversion ultimately from a great voluntary movement to a department of Government supported wholly by taxation: Its place claimed by other voluntary organization or organisations. I can conceive extreme circumstances where It might be advisable in emergency or necessity for the Government to ask Red Cross to perform some special function for which fund' would he provided by appropriation or for lied Cross t request, in emergency, some form of financial aid from Congress, but as long as our people have the spirit and the means to go on independently they should be en(oiiras'il to do so. To do otherwise is to deny them the opportunity of sacrifice and contribution in this great tragedy, which is a blessing to them S!ncerly your. 1 1. r. pavipso.v. Chairman Red Cross War Council.

SAYS HAMMOND IS NOT HELPING ITS SISTER CITY

The Times wlshe, acknowledge the rec-ipt of the ins letter, which is self-explanatory: "West Hammond. 111. May 3. "F.ditor Timks: "In nn editorial tn your paper a few d.-iys ago. you indicated that It is probably the duty and should be considered the privilege of the good people on the Indlcna side of the m in this trying moment In our little city, to extend to us the hand of encouragement and help, if need be. That spirit is commendable. Such assistance would, not doubt, be receHed with gratitude. p.ut do you mean It? "If so, what have you done to show that you mean it? The editorial mentioned ha been the subjeo of a great deal of dioussir.n mnong the people of West Hammond, and no one seems to have heard of anyone- in Hammond who has offered to us. in this hour of distress, n single act or word of assistance. "On account of thr. let.tmg looso upon us of tha 'hell hounds' and 'boozehlsters' of all northeastern Indiana, a

A ast array of leal talent and court reporters were present at. the meeting for the purpose of jamming through the granting of the licenses in the face or the opposition of the people. "The only e Idence of any assistance from across the state line in that meeting was the presence of John C. Becker of Hammond, the owner of one of the places in question, and David Boone, attorney, the leading patriot of Hammond, the president of th American Alliance of Hammond, one of the most gloriously rampant patriotic orators on your Fide of the line.

LOUIS G. EDER of Hammond, the only candidate for County Treasurer vriio was born, bred and brought up in Lake County, is making a whirlwind race for the nomination all over the County and is confident of victory at the primaries next T.ic?dny, May 7th, 1918. Mr. Edcr says It t the best man win and I believe that the people of Lake County, who are somewhat tired of politicians in office, will vote for a candidate for County Treasurer of Lake County for a man who has never been in office and who has never sought office for a count v office. Friends of Mr. Eder say that this description fits him exactly and they are making the forceful argument that Mr. Edcr has never taken part in a political fight and is not a poli- , tician. Of Mr. Eder's competency to carry out the duties of the Treasurer's office there is no question. He has been for ten years assistant cashier of the Citizens' National Hank of Hammond, Ind. He knows the banking business from the ground up and as a County Treasurer to be a success must be particularly well qualified in Ranking and financial matters Mr. Eder's experience in that. line will be invaluable. He will be able to take care of the duties of the office himself and will not be a figurehead and have somebody else to run the office for him. In his trails up and down Lake County Mr. Eder has met men of all stations in life and all kinds of occupations and his canvass has convinced him that the people of Lake County arc going to vote for men for the office who are not in any way connected with machine politics. They arc strong for the man who has no political axes to grind. Especially true is this of the farmers and business men. Taxpayers of Lake County will never have to regret voting for a man of Mr. Eder's type. He is popular wherever he is known raid has a host of young republicans ovr th: County working for him with all their might. Much of this support is spontaneous and comes to him without effort. He has declined to use hurrah tactics in his campaign and abhors advertising stunts. He refuses to boost himself into office by cheapening patriotism, though he has given up his time during the past few weeks to selling Liberty Bonds and in consequence has not been able to give many the glad hand.
