THE REDS AND THE NEWSPAPERS. They were rather startling at first, the large and mouth-filling words that the Leninists and the Trotzkyites flung about so lavishly, such -words as "bourgeoise." "proletariat" and such expressions as " capitalistic governments." "badge of servitude." "syndicalistic sacrifices," "bolshevistic martyrdom," "industrial autocracies." and fo forth and so on ad nauseam, but they have become just a little bit stomach-upsetting to decent people whose tired eyes meet them in public prints and whose tired ears come in contact with them as they are emitted from the great unwashed and bushy-whiskered. There is cne other expression that the Red radicals the Debses, the Liebermans, the Economoffs and the Silvermans are so fond cf wrapping their tongues around, and that is the "capitalistic press." Whenever these gentlemen who toil not neither do they pin want to do a little bull-baiting and a little down-trodden arousing, they hiss out those two words the "capitalistic press" with all the venom and vengeance in their small souls. What is the "capitalistic press?" The Reds would have you believe that the newspapers of this country are fed with streams of gold from government treasuries, the vaults of Wall street, or exact tribute from trusts and combinations of capital. Some ignorant unfortunates actually believe that industry and banks and business draw levies to buy and bribe newspapers. "What:" thunders one contemporary Red windjammer, 'Ties and forges the truth about you but the world's greatest harlot a prostituted press?" And that Is about as sane and full of facts as any of the phrenitic and ehatter-pated bolshevistic theories. Where would this country be, where would any country be, without a free and untrammeled rress? Where is China? Where is Russia today? Suppose there were no sane daily newspapers to throw the great white light of truth on the bolshevist movement? The imagination palls at the possibility. The prospect without a free press chills the marrow in the bones of humanity. What a lot of cheap, silly rot to thrust down the throats of decent folk, of industrious hardworking men in an attempt to convince them that the 2,500 daily newspapers In thi? country are servile tools of capitalism! How many of those 2,500 dailies are more than able to keep their heads Just above water? Comparatively few of them. How many of them are rich as compared with institutions in other lines of human endeavor toiling and moiling half as hard? None of them. Thank God for what the half-baked bolshevist with the soft, flabby hand and the body shy of soap and water, calls the "capitalistic press. It has plunged him in the spotlight and be cringes and cowers in it. It has exposed his sham and his shame. The free pres3 of America at least works hard. It believes in human liberty, it knows that the world is getting better Instead of worse; it knows that the vile social theory of bolshevik nationalism and license would bring hell to earth in a hurry. The free press of America is constructive an? not destructive; it labors for and supports law and order instead of appealing to class hatred. It will fight with all its power to preserve the home and fireside, the church of the living God and the constitution of the United States. The 2,500 daily newspapers in this country are not in the game to get rich; the men who make them, strange as it may seem to the diseased brain of the bolshevist, often wonder whether the game is worth the candle, bu( they have a love of humanity that fills them with a fiery zeal to play the game according to rule; the men who work on them are recognized as among the most intelligent craftsmen in that great Federation of American Workingmen. There are evils in the social fabric of today, there are wrongs In the prevalent economic theory, and the

newsicpers are exposing tbem. Perfection is not on thi? earth nor will it ever be. Perhaps tho least perfect i;-.
the press. It cannot, however, be dishonest without the great mass of the people knowing it. It could not be
prostituted without paying the penalty, and it will fight
Bolshevism and all its train of rottenness as long as it has a pot of ink and a pound of print to carry on the battle for decency.
ARE YOU SHARING IN PROSPERITY? That an unprecedented wave of prosperity is here goes
without saying. Business and industrial experts are
agreed that there is no Question but what prosperity in
larger volume than ever Is to continue for sn indefinite period. The merchant -who falls to take advantage of
these conditions is hiding his light under a bushel.
Never was there bo much buying done: never has there
been so much money to do buying with. The chopper on
ly wants to know where to go to buy and never were advertisements read so eagerly.
The volume of advertising in the last few months
through the United States as a while, has been unprect dented. Statistics collected from a number of sourcesshow that greater use of advertising is being made than ever before.
The information and education service of the depart
ment of labor commends heartily the present u?e of ad vertislnc as a most patriotic public service. During the
war the department aBd other governmental agencies
were compelled 6 aK peopl not to buy anjtning not mually essential, because the war had to go on; but now, when It Is of the greatest importance that the wheels of industry start running smoothly, advertising and buin?
are the processes necessary to start them. Pv advertising extenively the seller informs his market .-b. ro.t ran he boucbt to advantage. By careful read
ing of the advertisements the purchaser is enabled to choose discriminatingly, in order that his own noeds may
be beit met and in order that his money may oe uuu-seu
to best purposes.
Tt,. information service is doing what it can to cooper-
with newr.aoers. advertisers, and the consuming pub
lic, in order that the interests of all three may be served
s,h the stimilat.ion of advertising- It is tne -v ie ...
H.rtmnt officials that the effect of the advertising al
ready published has been marked in aiding the restoration
of business to normal, and that tnrougn iim-.--' use of advertising much can be done to achieve national
prosperity.
WILSON INSIDE THE TIGER, ir ; reported that Premier Clemenceau baa ass-ured
his people that the reparations fixed by the peace confer
ence have been agreed upon in a manner tnai ur satisfactory to France. Thus does the "Old Tiger" add to the debt of gratitude that the French peojile bear to him. It has been a long fight on his part. He had the suppor.
of the English and Italian delegates, who knew from personal experience in their own countries what thv
Hun frightfulne?s had wrought. But, with sname iei u h the American commissioners not only did not
co-operate to bring justice to their friends of a century and
a half, but, if we are to believe the published reports rrom Paris, worked to the last against adequate indemnities from Germany. In our international diplomacy of the past if an American delegation met defeat it was a cause of chagrin on
the part of our citizens. But in those times commission
era of the United States to foreign parleys were Americans, not only in name, but in spirit proud of their national traditions and determined to uphold at all costs the honor of their country. With a recent sense of chivilry to the unfortunate and with an abiding realization of the debt of gratitude we owe to nations that have aided us in the past, our delegates have been men who commanded the trust and respect of their fellow citizens. The public knew that if they were not successful in their mission, defeat had come only after a determined fight for ourselves and our friends.
THOSE MENACING FEMALES. Many and dire have been the prophecies of what woulc happen when women got the ballot. Here is an outline ot the work proposed for the League of Women Voter, of New York City, which hardly seems to justify any fears of the country being driven to destruction by a horde of wild females! "We shall take a strong interest in legislation affecting women and children in industry; in the unification of laws; in Americanization problems, and in election methods and reforms. We shall adopt for our main purpose, after woman suffrage Is won for the nation, the purpose of the National League of Women Voters, 'A country in which all voters fpeak English, read their own ballots and honor the American flag.' " There may be something menacing to the life of the nation in such sentiment, but to the casual reader il sound? like a clear expression of exactly the sort of thins which is the aim of the best type of male citizen. And the more voters of this type there are in any country, the better the outlook for that country.
HOW TO GET A MAID. Families that are having difficulty with the servant problem may find som.e useful hints in the following notice, clipped from the liner ad columns of the Salem (Mass.) News: GIRL WANTED One who i. a good, plain cook with considerable experience. Family of three people, where another girl is kept and a man doe the heavy work in hou.-e cleaning. Kitchen is large, light, and pleasant cool in summer and warm in winter, with awnings. The kitchen ha every modern convenience, no coal fires to build, plenty of steaming hot water. Maids rooms are good size, well furnished, sunny, steam heated, electric lights, and there is a private bath for tbem. Also, the maids have a fitting room near the kitchen. One night and afternoon out every week and every other Sunday afternoon and night off. No late meals. In fifteen years four girls have left the family to get married. The one now leaving is also to get married. Nearly all of-the work for the new girl is in the kitchen, being practically the cook. Good wages and a permanent home assured. Surely that ought to bring results, if anything could And yet you never can tell, in this era of self-detrrmina t ion of cook and housemaids.

According to bulletin receiTed from the War department, the director of Finance has practically completed payment of the $R0 bonus Involving about 1,400.000 claims.

Dusky warriors and their mates trod in moccasined feet the dim aisles of the primeval forest. They saw- the flaming sun send his shining shafts from the horizon against the western sky, and the eternal stars come out; and when the moon rose they watched the grand transformation scene, as the dark waters of the lake changed into a sea of silver. Even as you and I. Sometimes I wish that we could prolong our outing, that we might stay a little longer, but after all perhaps six weeks is long enough: what with j-eur aquatic habits, swimming and diving like a lot of jumping frogs, I fear you might in time develop into amphibious creatures, and we don't wish anything like that to happen, do we?

TO THI BOT SCOUTS. I take pleasure in writing again to you some observations and meditations on topical subjects of the times pertaining to tho pow-wow to come off next July. From what I hear, there is going to be a bigger and better camp than we had last jcar brass hands, big eats, 'nd everything. So I have already ordered a car lead of protein, carbohydrates, and fst?, all laden with calories and vitamines to supply your alimentary needs and satiate your hunger. I say hunger, for a true' Scout is always hungry and can. I estimate, consume about twentyfive hundred calories a day without extending himself. I rather think that the chef will have to extend himself tj set them ready on time, for I have noticed that your craft is punctual to tho minute when the mess call sounds, which is right and pUasfs the cook, for when a meal is placed on the table there should be no delay. I see by the par?rs lint there s re about 75.000 Boy Scouts in the United States and from what Mr. Harris tells me, I am convinced that Hammond is the center of Scout population: however that may be. I wish to ss.y that In all my experience I never r.:et a finer bunch of boys than those I catered lo last year. Boy Scouts! The ery name has a stranfte facination for the American people, and I believe, a? President Wilson has rrociahned, that every eligible boy in America should become a member. I hope to meet and greet you all again, and I hore Pr. Shanklin comes and delivers some of his interest ins and instructive lectures on the "Pathology of outing Gastronomy" or something, and

Ross, city clerk of Hammond, who is out for recorder of Lake county. He already ha organizations either under way or formtils' in Hammond. East Chicago, Gary, Whiting, Hobart. and Crown Point. Th ? younger men are quite active in his behalf. Some of his friends would like to se? City Clerk Francis of Gary become a candidate for clerk of the Supreme court. Indiana will probably have two favorite sons to present at tne next Republican convention: Governor Goodrich anl Senator New; to these we might adi Senator Watson and Will Hays, but Senator Watson is out for rc-electloa and Will Hays out for governor.
