to present in a perfectly proper wav their views find Interests regarding pending legislation. That is not only their right but their duty, if we aie to have- satisfactory legislation. Congress cannot act advisedly tinloss it hears all sides of every question. UnTbtedly
there have been many, and probably ttiil are ome f-eert-t i lobbyists who make a living by influencing legislation, j but they arc neither numerous enough nor effective J enough to constitute a menace. There was. therefore. I no occasion for the President, to remark in hU address! to Congress on revenue legislation. "If lobbyist- hurry j to Washintton to attempt to turn what you do in I hi i i manor of taxation to thou protection or advantage, the! light will beat also upon them." j There was in that sentence an implication that Senators and Congressmen were likely to be misled I
unless protected by the executive. There was an

Larger Pald-Up Circulation Than Any Two Other Papers In the Calumet Region. If you have any trouble retting The Times make complaint Immediately to the circulation department. Tile Times will r.ot be responsible for the return or any unsolicited articles or letters and will not notio anonymous communications. Short signed letter of general interest printed at discretion. NOTICK TO SmUCRtSER". you fail to receive your copy of Thi Times as promptly as you have In the past, please do not think It has been lost or was not sent on time. Remember that the railroads are engaged with the urgent movement of troops and their supplies; that there is unusual pressure In various parts of the country for food and fuel; that the railroads have more business than they can handle promptly. For that reason many trains are late. Ths Timis has Increased its mailing equipment and Is cooperating; In every way with the postofflce department to expedite delivery. Even so. delays are Inevitable because of the enormous demands upon the railroads and the withdrawal ef men from many lines of work.

The lady who married four soldiers in order to get a nice little income during the war and four good chance3 at Insurance is said to hold the record for daring and numbers in this respect. But girl? who marry two soldiers for this purpoe are? said to be rather numerous, and girls who have married one with this motive are to be found everywhere. If there is any line of profiteering more despicable than any other, undoubtedly this 13 the one. Public opinion should come down so crushingly on the girl whose motives are the least bit questionable that her life as a war bride would not be worth living. That the girl who marries in good faith and who works busily at war relief or at preparing for her future home or at any productive occupation should have her allowance of her husband"s pay is just. It is particularly so if there are, or are to be, children. But that a girl should live in idleness on the pay of four soldiers that an idle girl should use that allowance for luxuries while her soldier husband Is fighting is almost beneath contempt. It is a matter that the government would find difficult to adjust, because of the difficulty of getting at fundamental facts of motive and personal situation. But it i3 a matter which the strong force of opinion of girls in their twenties should stop. That the motives of every prospective bride should be made questionable by the greed of a few Is intolerable.

PUT THE LID ON IT. It is a pity that Lake County's vigorous and sternly unbending war board, the Council of Defense, has no authority across the state line to close up the noxious and filthy exhibitions of laseiviousnesa operating in West Hammond under the guise of carnival attractions. One vile show has nothing in it to entertain or elevate. It Is simply a show that caers to the lowest passions of the human race. It i.s degrading in the extreme and what Mayor Kamradt and Chief of Police N'itz of West Hammond must be thinking of to permit it Is astounding in the extreme. The carnival is advertising this week as a "patriotic week." What in the name of decency is patriotic about it nobody knows. It is taking out of this community money that is needed to carry on various war propaganda. It is degrading the morals and undermining the spirit of young men who are Boon to be sent to the firing line. Carnivals are the harbors of alleged slackers, crooks, dtps and women whose occupation ia questionable to say the least, and In both the West Hammond and Hammond police stations are evidences of this fact. These cheap, tawdrv. grafting shows are filling the coffers of the cajnival owners with money that ought to be saved to buy Liberty Bonds and war Saving Stamps and to contribute to Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. drives. If the West Hammond authorities have any regard for the young people of their city and a neighborly feeling for Hammond they will revoke the license of the disgusting shows to be seen across the state line. What the United States government ought to do is to pt an end to rotten carnival shows for all time. How Is It possible for newspapers, ministers and recent people to carry on war work campaigns on the one hand and have to cope with the filthy thing that is going on now in West Hammond?
Jc?t what manner of foe our soldiers are encountering must never be lost. si2ht of. "The longer I stay in France." writes Dr. Horatio S. Krans, now director of the Columbia Service Bureau
of the American University Union in Paris, "the stronger ' employes were dropped from the post grows my detestation of the Huns. The war, which si'xh8nR" y-st-rday. The pie-baker. , , , . , ! at the restaurant is the only exception, begun in treachery, continues to be conducted by the f.rlvat rharl,v w P,r,an. i;jth depot Boche with the disregard of every sentiment of chivalry i brigade, has been discharged from serand fair play which has characterized it from the our-I vice on a certificate of disability and
j set." "The statement frequently reiterated that the Ausj trians were more human than the Germans was based i on an entirely erroneous impression," says Richi4
Bagot. correspondent of the London Times: Sixteen hundred Italians surrounded on the brink of a precipice of the Ciraone mountains who bad surrendered and laid down their arms were shot down by a machine gun of the Fifth battalion of the Fourteenth regiment of Austrian infantry. Ears cut. from the heads of the Italian wounded and threaded on strings adorned the breasts of Bosnian infantrymen. One of these, who had a string of fifteen ears, was highly praised by a captain of the Seventeenth regiment of the Austrian infantry. It is important, warns Dr. Felice Ferrero, directo of the Italian Bureau of Information, that. American? understand that the allies on the Italian front, mas;
combat the same sort, of barbarism and inhumanity hat ; r.avy. has been transferred from Camp W vtfl ,b .m i ,v - -1 ! I--an. Zion C.ty. to a sharpshooters'

A CABINET LOBBY? Like a good many other members of Congress, Mr. Kitchin, of North Carolina, ha3 evidently become tired of having the inference thrown out that members of the legislative body are peculiarly and exclusively subject to the machinations of ' lobbyists.'" As a matter of fact, most of the so-called lobbyists are respects bl- and responsible American business men who go to Washington
taken to his home at Martinsville, Ind. 4) It will be of Interest to Inrilnna men who wifh to secure training that will fit them to be officers to learn that five, central c-fficers training camps, at wh.ch civilians and enlisted men will be tra ntd for commissions in the officers' reserve corps, have been established by the war department, according to an announcement Just made her. Camps for infantry training are located at Camp Lee, Petersburg. Va.; Camp Go: don, Alian'a. and Can-.p Pike. Little Rock. Ark. A camp for field artillery t!a:n;n has been established at Camp Tailor.

Or. Qulncy, Lowell, received letter from his son. Donald,- who Is a wireless operator in the U. S. navy. Donald has Just returned from a trip across to France, the boat he is on acted as convoy for troop ships. Donald has Just bfn recently promoted to chief electrician.
David Persons, Lowell, has enlisted in the cavalry and has been sent to Jefferson Barracks. Mo. He Is only IT years of age and one of the youngest soldier that has enlisted from the south end of the county.
Mrs. Hilda Hall of Lafayette received official notification from the war department today that her son. Clyde Hall. 21. had been severely wounded in action. Last March he was overcome In a ga attack and was confined in a hospital in France several weeks. H unlisted here May 17 and was trained at an eastern camp before going overseas with the Sixth United States V',d ArTil'e---.-.
An enlisted man told us earlier in th war that, the hardest thing for him to do was to go befor a doctor for his physical examination. He said he would much
rather face the enemy armed with guns. j When Henry James, who applied for enlistment in ' the United States Marine Corps in Salt Lake City, was ! taken before Dr. G. .T. Hildebrand and, after examina- ' tion, told that he failed to meet, the requirements, he ; asked: "What's the matter with me?" j "You've got scoliosis, phthisis and synovitis." The would-be marine blushed 10 be told so frankly what prevented his becoming a Devi! Dog and 'turned! to go out. when the doctor shot a few hot parting words after him. j "Xot only that you're troubled with slight astiz j matism, otitis media and chronic formunculois." "Gosh," was all the lad could say as he fed in con j fusion.
Soma "mental scientist" thinks he can "mentally electrocute" Germany by getting 20,000,000 people to project hostile thought waves against the enemy. But it may take a bigger hate-power than that, to counteract the hate-waves of the Germans themselves. When it comes to the theory and practice of mental offensives we are woefully unprepared.
The people of Cologne and Coblontz, terrified by the bombing of their cities, have appealed to the Reich.Uag to see whether such "senseless murder of women and children" cannot be stopped. Certainly, it can.be. 1'. will stop automatically, whenever the Germans stop murdering French and British women and children. ,
THE RED CROSS SPIRIT SPEAKS
By JOHN H. FIN LEY. I kneel behind the soldiers' trench I walk with shambleu' smear and stench The dead I mourn. I bear the stretcher and 1 bend O'er Sammy, Pierre and Jack and mend What Bhell3 have torn. I go wherever men may dare, I go wnerever woman's care And love can live. Wherever strength and skill can bring Surcease to human suffering Or solace give. I am your pennies and your pounds; I am your bodies on their rounds Of pain afar; I am you, doing what you would If you were only where you could Your avatar. The cross which on my arm I wear, The flag which o'er my breast I bear. Is but the sign Of what you'd sacrifice for him Who suffers on the hellish rim Of war's red line.
