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. DOES LAKE COUNTY HAVE TO PAY THE NATIONAL DEBT? Just how deputy assessors in Lake county arrived at their conclusions in valuation figures for industries and the assessment of real estate is a mystery for which there is no promised solution. Whatever basis at least, they used cannot be determined by the layman. How some of them are qualified to know the value of real estate and the. true cash value of an immense industry, such as there are many of in Lake county, is worse than any of Sam Loyd's puzzles. For instance, here is a big manufacturing plant employing a thousand men, capitalized at J200.000. With practically no knowledge of industrial values, raw product, machinery, output, overhead, market conditions, stock fluctuations, the laws of supply and demand, and a score of other industrial ramifications, how is a man, whose business experience has been practically nil, qualified to pass judgment upon the cash value of that plant? What is a matter of a few million dollars to him? Absolutely nothing but guess work. A row of ciphers means nothing to .his young life. Then again, if a deputy assessor is supposed to question the man he is assessing as to the value of a fiveyear old automobile or a second hand piano in that man's house. Why doesn't he inquire of him the true cash value of his house and lot. When he assesses at $12,000 a piece of property for which the owner will take less than half as much cash? Down in Vanderburg county, where Evansville is located. Pigeon township manufacturers and business men held an indigation mas meeting on Monday because the township valuation had been increased from $45,000,000 to $90,000,000- . The increase was called outrageous and the assessments will be taken into court and fought until the last bitter end. That increase was less than twice as much as the last assessment. If Vanderburg county was Justified in making a public remonstrance over that increase, what sort of a remonstrance would North and Calumet townships, in Lake county, be Justified in making? We are not able to find out where the new Indiana tax law is intended to be regarded as an impenal edict or manifesto and we da not believe that the Lake County Board of Review will regard it as such. We believe they will give the industries of this county a respectful hearing. We are inclined to think that they will be inclined to accept the affidavits of owners of realty and heads of industries as to real true cash values. We certainly see no reason why the whole national debt should be saddled on the good people of this county.

SENATOR REED SPEAKS OUT IN MEETING. Senator Reed of Missouri, is noted for his frankness. He has a habit of saying what he thinks on any public subject, and as a result he is not regarded as a hidebound party man although he considers himself good Democrat Lately he has been speaking out loud his sentiments concerning the League of Nations, which same sentiments many of his colleagues, while holding, fear to enunciate. And he has no hesitancy, either, in . saying boldly that the United States at the peace conference has been outmaneuvered and outgeneraled by the trained diplomats of Europe. He has even gone so far as to refer to our representatives in the conference as amateurs. Senator Reed before a big audience of Chicago busi--neFs men recently was discussing the results of tha Paris conference and in the course of it, after remarking that he was no enemy of Great Britain, paid a tribute to the sagacity of British diplomats and the achievements of the British people. "When you sit down at the table with British diplomats you do not want any amateurs for advisers," said Senator Reed"We sent the best we had," said a voice from the

audience. "That is always a matter of opinion," said Senator Reed amid laughter. "I somehow think though I am a Democrat that if you had sent Elihu Root, Henry Cabot Lodge and Senator Knox, I would have felt a little safer while the jury was deliberating." Whereupon, according to Chicago Commerce, there were "prolonged cheers and applause."

WAR SURGERY. Tha medical and surgical history of the war was marvellous, of course. But according to Dr. Joseph Blake, who had charge of one of the base hospitals during the eMire war, the most amazing thing that surgeons did was to open the chest -where necessary and perform operations on the heart and lungs. This was done successfully, not once but many times, ted marked a milestone in surgery, for such operations tad been extraordinarily difficult and almost invariably lata!. There are many men comparatively sound today wl.se lungs have been under the surgeon's knife, for the removal of shrapnel and the sewing up of lacerations. Another advance made was in the treatment of fractures, which were not placed in casts and held rigid, but were suspended in specially devised apparatus, permitting the patient to move, keeping joints limber and doing away with the stiffness which often used to follow fracture, as well as obviating any danger of withering or shortening the fractured member. It must have taken courage for the surgeon to pioneer as well as for the soldier to bear his pain, but out of their suffering and heroism has come knowledge which wi'J benefit mankind for all time to come.

AMERICAN HOUSE. Cincinnati, prominent in Americanization and welfare work, has established "American House" as one of its latest undertakings. American House is located in a thickly settled part of the city, in what was at one time a saloon of the type which is always an eyesore and a public menace. Financed partly by public and partly by private funds, it offers all the advantages of the usual community house. Its furnishing has been the work of the various women's organizations of the city, both native and foreign bora, so that it may have a touch of home to persons of whatever nationality; and there they come by the dozen to learn the things which puzzle them so sorely in this strange new land. Persons interested in the project and in sympathy with its high ideals are on the staff of the house, and medical care, legal advice, lessons in English, all are given free of charge whenever necessary. Those who want employment are helped to secure it. Girls and women are provided with escorts to unfamiliar portions of the city and given the protection they need until they have become acquainted and established. They call it the "half-way house" to the schools, in Cincinnati. Surely every community would fare better if it made such wholesome and friendly provision for its aliens.

RUIN OF GIRLS. In looking over some reports of an officer dealing with venereal diseases we were surprised to find that a large majority of the cases were of girls and women. Another serious fact that presented itself was that most of the cases- were those of syphilis. And then to think that this is only a little glimpse of the situation. Then, as to the girls, it was reported that they -were -mostly waiters, domestics, venders of food, typewriters, etc.; young girls, most of them, who work a little and then float around listlessly the rest of the time. It is a terrible disgrace for a community to permit so many of its young women to be thu3 ruined. Our moral uplift clubs do not seem to get the rigtjt hold of them- There seem to be only two means of service and protection. They are the individual and the law. Good women, make it your purpose to save at least one Innocent girl a year. And, good policeman, please take a friendly interest in the young girls that flit about the streets at night. Treat them as you would have someone treat your own daughter.

OLD AND NEW. We have just seen the most wondrous feat accomplished by the most modern bit of mechanism in the air flight across the sea. It is interesting by way of contrast, to hear from Red Cross workers in Macedonia that the method of transpor tation found most practical for their supplies in that country is the primitive cart drawn by a team of oxen. .. The Macedonian country is wild and mountainous, its villages are far apart, and hunger and cold stalk un checked save as the Red Cross unit arrives with its supplies. Automobiles are of little use. They cannot travel the awful roads. Airplanes are impractical. But the oxen, plodding stolidly though slowly, do arrive after a while. It is entirely probable that the airship dropping down from the blue before the admiring gaze of the people of Lisbon was no more marvellous or welcome than are the ox-carts to the Macedonian refugees; for though the con veyance itself may be of a familiar type, its present mission of mercy is something new in that far-off land.
