There Is only room for one flag in Lake county ar.d that Is the Stars and Stripes. There Is room for only one language and that is the language of the people of the United States. WHY LEAP ON LAKE COUNTY ? The state board of taxation is to be represented in Lake county within the next two weeks' to go over the question of assessments with the county board of review, now in session at Crown Point. At this meeting the tax men will deny that they eeek to scotch industrial progress in the Calumet region and we believe that the, county board of review and state tax commissioners will take the largest view of the situation possible and

go deeply into the enormous increase that has been made in industrial assessment valuations in this part of the state. The figures are appalling. Lake county's assessment is five hundred and fifty million dollars this year. Marion's is only six hundred million. Marion is a. county three times as populous and wealthy as Lake. Lake county Is increased one-seventh as much as the entire state. Last year the. county was assessed less than one hundred million; this year it is five and one-half times that amount. Indiana's increase is only three three times what it was last year! In North township the assessment is just half of the entire county assessment. No other county in the state is given s6 large a percentage of increase as Lake county, and the burden of the increase falls on industry. When the tax representatives of the various manufactories in the region come before the county board of review, they will present evidence showing that in some cases the Industries affected are assessed beyond their true cash value, and the review board in all fairness and justice should consider these facts well. We believe tijov will so consider them. Lake county is not an agricultural county. It is an industrial district The war h.sj? affected industry in the Calumet region in a remarkahle manner. In the first place the bulk of Industry in tfcis region was war-rroduct making. The plants were compelled to install war-making machinery to get contracts, and when the armistice was signed that machinery became of no value. It had to be scrapped. Large additions had been built to some of the plants, much larger than is necessary for the products of peace times. Many of the industries are planning the expenditures of further monies in improving their plants. They are ir.Tced to make these expenditures to insure operation and to "keep the wheels going. If the new tax law visits upon them exorbitant and unjust burdens, they will not be able to make these improvements and prosperity In Lake county will receive a set-back which will affect business disastrously. There were plants in this district which were assessed too low, there is no gainsaying that fact, but to rvit them all in the same boat is not fair and we believe the r.;untv board of review will see that fact when the :e!fl5 Lostanfes are laid down before them. Lake county should not be made to pay the bulk of the state taxes just because it is Lake county. It is a part of ?1:?.2. and entitled to as much consideration as Marion county or other geographical sections of the state.

WELLMAN ATTEMPTED IT. A subscriber asks if any other attempt had been made up to the present to cross the Atlantic by aerial rune. We are indebted to the Christian Science Monitor for the answer. It was on October 15. -1910, that Walter Wellman left Atlantic City in the airship America bound far Europe and kept the air for three days and nights, making about 1000 miles of the journey before being compelled to abandon the attempt. Motor trouble and a gale from the tropics put the America practically out of commission, and the airship was abandoned, Wellman and his crew of five men being- left in mid-ocean In the lire oat which hune beneath her during the journey. They were picked up by a steamer from Bermuda. &nd in his book, "The Aerial Age," Wellman afterward wrote: "Good otd America, farewell. Thank you for the noble comrades and rare experience you have brought me, for the lesson you have taught us. In the years to come many aircraft iL- -Ul .eg-' . aeWUUIWmWWM

SOLVING AMERICA'S PROBLEMS. At the risk of offending some of the Democratic newspapers in these parts who seem to think that the earth and all the planets revolve around the omnipotent Wilson and who consign us to the bottomless pit about six times a week, we give a list of the president's appointments in Paris for one day. 11 A.1 M. Prince Charoon and the Siamese delegation to the peace conference. 11:30 A. M. Dr. A Markoff and the CarpathoRussian committee to present the situation in Car-patho-Kussia. 11:45 A- M. M. Oliver, president of the National Union of Railway Men of Frence. to explain the humanitarian and sanitary program of the National Union of French and Belgian Railway Men12 M. Mr. J. Jacob, president of the Celtic Circle of Paris, to present an anthology of National Bards and Poets. 12:15 R M. Dr. Juan Antonio Buero and MrJacob Varela Acevedo, delegates to the peace conference from Uruguay. 12:30 P. M. Turkhan Pasha, president of the present government of Albania, to present the claims of Albania. 12:45 P. M. Senor Villegas. ex-secretary of state of Chile, minister to Chile at Rome. 2:15 P. M. Dr. Edward Benes and M- Kramar, to discuss the problem of Silesia .and the Heschen coal basin. 2:30 P. M. M. Damour. French deputy, chatrman of the committee, to explain the plans for the erection of a statue at the mouth of the Gironde riven to. commemorate the arrival . of American troops in Franceses P. M.-A delegation from the parliament of Kouban in northern Caucasia. 3 P. M. The archbishop of Trebizond, M Chrysanthos. r 3:15 P M. Governor Manning, of South Carolina. 3:30 P. M. M. Joseph Reinach, of the Figaro." It will be noticed that out of the day, America gets fifteen minutes. Now, even though we may be blasted by democratic lightning and have the wrath of Wilson visited upon us, we would like to ask: Whoinell in America cares anything about Prince Charoon? What has Doc Markoff got to do with the question of returned soldiers? What can Senor Villegas do about getting our soldier boys out of Russia? What has the president of the Celtic Circle of Paris to do with the question of getting soldiers' allotments to them? Can the delegation from Kouban speed up industry in this country? What has M. Damour to do with reducing the high cost of living and punishing the profiteers and food bandits? Take old Doc Juan Antonio Buero and Jake Varela Acevedo, how are they going to untangle the nasty wire strike situation? What's the archbishop of Trebizond going to do about the railroad question and government ownership? We suppose a fifteen minute chat with Turkhan Pasha is going to ameliorate the rotten postal service and help us rid of old man Burleson. It makes a true American sick to think of the president elected to serve this country and look after its well being, molly-coddling around in Paris with a lot of third rate princes and cheap potentates who don't amount to a hill of beans.

THE PASSING

SHOV!

MOST Jails lack modern, conveniences AND home comforts to say nothing of THE fact that they are extremely confining BUT a man never thinks of those things WHEN he is doing SOMETHING that will get him into one of them. THE old-fashioned man WHO had religion and no bad habits to speak of, NOW has a son who has no religion AND all the bad habits there is to speak of. IF other people on our street did their duty AND cultivated a bit of a garden WE would not have to sally forth in the dew of the morning AND cool of the evening to do battle with

PLAYING WITH THE BOLSHEVIST FIRE. There is a good deal of feeling that Berlin's reign of Bolshevism has been a put-up job, designed to disgust the citizens with the present government or lack of government that they will demand the restoration of Hohenzollerns. F. Cunliffe-Owen, for instance, writing in .The New York Herald, thinks that such is the fact and that Prince Buelow, admittedly orre of the craftiest men in Germany, began deliberately to work up the sentiment crystallizing in the recent outbreaks against authority as long ago as soon after the first battle of the Marne, when, this writer says, the kaiser, and his advisers realized that they were in for a beating. This, according to Mr. Cunliffe-Owen, has been Prince Buelow's sole job for more than four years, first to incite anarchy in other lands and then in Germany herself, so as to make the masses content with despotic rule so long a3 It was strong and stable. , Of course, this may be true and of course it may not. Prussian intrigue overlooks nothing which may possibly be within its powers and it always works far ahead of any given situation, but, on the other hand, it seems doubtful that megalomania realized more than four years ago that it was destined to be beaten. If the writer in The Herald is right, Germany may have occasion once more to regret having played with fire. It is hard to imagine a more terrible individual than a thick-headed, obstinate German trained so long and so thoroughly in the ways of the Bolshevist that he finally assumes them permanently as his own.

IF you are in favor of daylight saving, ft mtght be well to let your congressman and senator know about it. An ungodly attack has been made on the law in Washington and the attack is blamed on the farmer- We don't believe it. Why should the farmer object? This having to work when the dew is on the ground is J1 bosh. Can't the farmer adjust. hi3 work to the rising and setting of the sun? Why can't he start his work as he did before? He is not dependent on the factory whistle. There's a nigger in the woodpile somewhere Someone else besides the farmer is back of this campaign against daylight saving.

WE don't read of the arresting of all those bomb throwers the government agents were gfjing to have in jail last week. Why not Cll the sleuths off the job of running down the poor chap who tries to get in a bottle of whiskey and let them go after something really dangerous.

"Oh that mine enemy would write a book!" said Job. And every time another German general or statesman writes a book explaining his part in the war, we understand better what Job meant

IF those allied diplomats get Germany to sign that treaty, they ought to go into the life insurance business when it's over. There'd be millions in it for such persuaders.

ALL the insects ever classified by the DEPARTMENT of Agriculture IN the way they have been brought up BESIDES sending our quota to the suffering BELGIANS, starving Serbians, to say nothing of THE Armenians. IT begins to look as if MOTHER'S home-made preserves WILL soon have a rival in father's home-made beer. WE notice that

20.ono. 000 matches were burned by fire recently AND we hasten to add that IS about the only way you can get them lighted. WE suppose it is hard for the Junker IN" Germany to give up the idea that the kaiser WILL never come back AND when he does hear there is a chance ' HE probably goes out and pushes SOME poor old woman with SO marks worth of SPINACH in her market basket OFF the sidewalk AND 'quite likely kicks heT in the etomah JUST to show her he's a gentleman. PUT a woman in a box

AT the theater ' and she always imagines THAT the audience is looking at her AND not paying one bit of attention to the show ' WHICH is very pitiful indeed. IF the service is satisfactory MOST people are prone to look upon the STREET car conductors as a human being after all. ONE of the causes for divorce at our house WHICH will probably be added to the ' others IN the complaint IS the brutal manner the husband has OF swatting the fly on the tablecloth during THE eening meal INSTEAD of catching it and Jetting it SOAR out of the back door.

YOU can trust a girl CALLED Hannah, Susan, Mary cf Jane BUT those with new fangled ALTCE, Susannye or Jessye don't somehow SEEM as dependable as the others. PROBABLY the best way TO handle controversial subjects in prayer IS in silent prayer. DID you know THERE is trouble in Taramakkapol and in THE suburb of Kadi Keni? WELL, there is. WE are exceedingly glad that one of the COMMANDMENTS doesn't read THOl'T shalt love all thy wife's relatives as thyself.

I cafes and there were a few clashes.

The 7th dtvt.lon, with the 4th, .Mh and 6th divisions, was released for return this month, but later orders for the release of the 4th and 6th divisions were recalled and only the 6th and 7th divisions are to return in June. Part of the th division is on the way home now.

An unhealthy .iraln of rivalry between the 1st and 2d divisions which are east of the Rhine has been traced to its source. Now the men are waiting to get even. The men of the 1st were told that the troops of the 2d asserted they
