She may be met and seen, at any moment, in the cafes and on the racecourse, under the chandeliers of the drawing rooms or by the flaring street lights of the great cities. Her aim is to make of man what, in the past, he made of her, and this not in any spirit of revenge, pace Sfcylock, though there may be a tinge of malice in it, but out of sheer lust in a new-found prodigality of freedom. Woman, in short, having found her freedom, 'has thrown

i Miss Austen and Miss Pinkerton finally to the dogs, has

repudiated even George Eliot, and stands as the equal of man for good or for evil. The position is a serious one, in the sense that it demands serious consideration and action. No doubt it can be left "to the care of nature" to work itself out, md work out itself it will, but at what cost remains to be seen. Humanity lives, if it would only learn the fact, in a world of idea and not of physical phenomena, the phenomena being only externalized ideas. The question of education becomes, therefore, the all-important one; and this, not the mere intellectual deve.lottment of the race, but the care of its moral and spiritual welfare. The conscience of the nations must apply Itself to this if their progress is to be harmonious and sustained. And, perhaps, there is no question before, them requiring a more urgent or a more honest decision than the one, What is to be the standard for the race, as "in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them"?

Thar la only room for en flag in Lake county and fttat is the Stars and Stripes. There is room for only one language and that is the language of the people of the United States. WHITING SMALL, BUT OH MY! "Whiting may not be as large as some of its sister cities, but the spirit of modernity and progress w-as never better typified anywhere than it is in Whiting. There is no city anywhere which goes about things in a more modest way than the solid and conservative Oil city. It is not often given to a city as small as Whiting to be fathering three as important civic propositions a are being fostered there at present. Within two days this newspaper has chronicled the inception of a magnificent new community house built upon a wide frontage on an important street for Whiting. It has told of the establishment of a Department of Industrial Relations in the Standard Oil plant wherein the employe shall have a large voice in the management of the company's affairs insofar as they relate to hours of labor, wages, employment and working conditions; housing, domestic economies and living conditions; safety and prevention of accidents; sanitation and health; works' practice methods, economies and other matters of mutual interest. Now comes the news of the beginning of construction of a splendid filtration plant, assuring the city a supply of pure water from its great drinking fountain now tainted by the sewage from South Chicago. Where is there a eity which can point to three such fine prospects under way all at one time?

BOMBS AND BUBBLES. The bombing of homes of public men is a serious matter, one for prompt attention from every agency of law and order. It i3 imperative that the plotters be traced and shut up or deported, that future piote be flipped in the bud. But most important is 'that the pubI'C should not be led into panic. Fear is the food of Bolshevism. A determined, confident stand, taken by every citizen, will prove a rock against which its waves will break like bubbles. Why is a Bolshevist? Because he owns nothing, has to lasting property. Let a man own a little home, a Liberty bond, some household goods, a piano, a filled bookcase, and he is a capitalist. For him other men work, as he works for them. Let a man give up all material things, vowing himself to the service of God and humanity, and he acquires that greatest of all possessions, a mind at restWhether property be taxable on the records, or whether it be in the man's own mind and soul, matters not. .The man who works by day for the service of aU men, and sleeps by night the sleep of the just .accumulates property, find the property owner is no Bolshevist. America is still the land of opportunity. The man who wants to ri?e has only to keep his mind fixed on the goal, and he cannot be kept down. America is full of men who started with nothing and could not be kept down. Xot every man can accumulate a great fortune. Few men wish the cares of one. But every man can earn a living for himself and his family. And the man who earns this living and gets ahead, however modestly, is fundamentally oposed to Bolshevism. Bolshevism 13 a disease. It may make trouble. I? may even for a time assume the proportions of an epidemic. But the normal condition of America is health. In any real contest. America wins. f Bolshevism must be eliminated from our systemUnderestimating its virulence does no good. But it.? best medicine is sane, confident Americanism.

IN HARMONY WITH HIS CHIEF. It can be taken for granted, we think, that Mr. Burleson has acted by and with the advice of his chief. It Is well-nigh unthinkable that Mr. Burleson would have assumed such great responsibilities on his own Initiative. When a member of a preaident's cabinet finds himself out of harmony with his chief he straightaway hands in his resignation. Mr. Bryan did this. Mr. Garrison did the same. If Mr. Burleson were not In harmony with Mr. Wilson, Mr. Burleson would step down and out. We are not here remarking en the "autocratic manner" of the postmaster-general; that may ofmiy net be as alleged we say nothing as to that. We merely affirm that Mr. Burleson. In all that he has done, in the very nature of things has had the approval of President WlHon Weco (Tex.) Timet-Herald. And if the Times-Herald is not a good democratic newspaper and Burleson not a Texas man, then we don't know what he are talking about. The Czar of Washington, the ruthless autocrat of the wires, will of course never resign. Both he and his boss are too mule-headed to even consider his resigning. '

LABOR'S BILL OF RIGHTS. The "bill of rights" for labor, drawn up by the peace conference deserves far more attention than it has received. It is to be given the dignity of incorporation in the formal peace treaty, so that it will be subscribed to by all the belligerent powers. That will give it the official endorsement of virtually all the important nations in the orld. Here are the main points: First "In the right and in fact the labor of a human being should not be treated as merchandise or an article f commerce." This is an extension to other nations of the American doctrine formally set forth in congressional statute that labor is not a "commodity,'" as economists Used to consider it, but a human thing, to be considered always in its human aspect. Second "Employers and workers ehould he allowed the right of association for all lawful purposes." Thi3 mean9 to designate union rights alike for labor and for capital, and upholds the principle of collective bargaining. "Third "No child should be permitted to be" employed

in industry or commerce before the age of 14 years. This is an application to the rest of the world of the child-labor rule which has just become effective in this country. Fourth "Every worker has a right to wage adequate to maintain a reasonable standard of life, having regard to the civilization of his time and country." Fifth "Equal pay should be given to women and men for work of equal value in quantity and quality." This principle, developed during, the war, is something new In international economics. Sixth "A weekly rest, including Sunday or its equivalent, for all workers." Seventh "Limitation of the hours of work in industry on a basis of eight hours a day or 48 hours a week," subject to necessary climatic and occupational exceptions. Eighth "In all matters concerning their status as workers, foreign workmen lawfully admitted to any country, and their families, should be insured the same treatment as the nationals of that country." This means no more than natural Justice, but heretofore many countries have not practised It. Ninth "All states should institute a system of Inspection. In which women should take part, in order to insure the enforcement of the laws and regulations for the protection of workers." Here, indeed, is progress. It may be objected that, all these articles are mere abstract recomtncrajns rather than binding pledges of practical rerorm. The wora used throughout is "should," not "shall." But it is an epochal step forward to have the principles formally recognized by governments throughout the world, and such recognition will be a standing incentive for the working peop'e of every country to insist on them until the reforms proposed become a reality.

THE WOMAN OF. BABYLON. - The old standard which an unregenerate man established for the benefit of a woman forcibly regenerate, broke down when the right of woman to control herself, instead of being controlled, made free every bypath of wrongdoing equally to the sexes. The Babylonish woman was born of such freedom, in a night, not out of the rib of a man, but throueh the force of his example. ii j .i-jgi p '.'li, j mm ggMrw ' '-

MOTHER-IN-LAW ON THE JOB. The women of Hungary have reason to be grateful to the much abused mother-in-law, if news from Budapest is to be believed. It was a mother-in-law who, with the

aid of a wife, saved the women of their country from

"communization." One of the members of the Cabinet of Bela Kun, so the story goes, announced to his wife and her mother one evening that he would soon have other wives and that they could take other husbands. He didn't get very much further. There was trouble right there and then, and. Just like American husbands the Austrian Cabinet member got the worst of It, He flew to Rela Kun with the draft of his programme and the result of the interview was that the "commuoliation" scheme, founded on that of Russia, soon became merely a "scrap of paper." So if there is any gratitude in the hearts of th women of Austria they will erect a monument to the mother-in-law who recued them from an awful fate.

THIS M AIT THXJTXS. Editor Times: ' We are born Into tha world without our consent, and we leave it against our will.

wzLcouna otj boys soars. Editor Lake County Times:Owing to many causes, some of the East Chicago boys who went away from home to take part in the war, left their home city without any kind of a farewell demonstration. This apparent Indifference was not really Indifference or neglect, but was largely unavoidable on account of preventive conditions. There is no question whatever that the people of this city are proud of these brave boys w-ho represented them so courageously and nobly in the war, and that they admire, love and reaped their boys, and the best way to get this started is through The Lake County Times. In order that there may be no erroneous impression or no misunderstanding between East Chicago and the Harbor as to popular sentiment, it is highly important that the welcome-home demonstrations should be extraordinary and that they should express the patriotic feeling of the'whole community. There should be a general welcomehbme conference, embracing delegations from all associations and activities, having the scope of organization ta carry out the idea of a grand public sentiment, and judging by the work this city baa done in the past there is not the leant doubt but that It will do this work well and en a great scale. It la imperative at the eame time that each component part of the conference should co

operate la full harmony with the ether

parts. Our boys deserve a grand fcome-ooaa-lng demonstration, and they will get It. East Chicago never does thing by halve. A date should be set for about the first of September, for by that time

all the soldiers, marines and sailors will

be home. It will be well for all citijans to bear In mind that all the boys whs took part in the war are on an eo.ua! footing and should manifest the sans appreciation and the same honor to erne

boy a to another, no matter what com

pany be belonged to, or what ship he sailed on. or where he fought, er whether he was a volunteer er drafted The men of East Chicago should get together In conference and have a demonstration creditable to East Chicago and to the boys who suffered the sacrifices of actual warfare.
