LOW DOWN ACTS. The creature who stole candy from a baby has either a relative or a counter-type in the contemptible humans who hii'e recently robbed two of Hammond's public institutions, one being Harrison Park and the other St. Margaret's hospital. Harrison Park is the oldest, and most beautiful tract of land in the Calumet region used for park pui poses. The city is Inordinately and justifiably proud of it. To keep it so that it is a delight to the people of all classes who u?e it requires an enormous amount of time, labor and money. The swans and ducks swimming in its lagoon are tame enough to he a source of unalloyed pleasure to

ihousands of little children, yet some dispioable thief recently walked off with three of th ducks, leaving their Lrtle ducklings motherless. The park pansy bed, a creation of exquisite beauty, was also despoiled of all ts flowers. Shrubbery was dug up and taken away by some unprincipled scoundrel. At St. Margaret's hospital last week a thief w;th the soul of a hyena and the heart of a mummy stole, one of the beautiful singing canaries, whose songs have eased more than one bed of pain and long honrs of suffering. The good Sisters of St. Frances went to great expense and pains to find "another bird of like singing power and education to replace it. To their amazement and pain, yesterday the conscienceless scoundrel again entered the hospital while the Sisters" were at prayers and not only took the second canary but robbed the poor-box. If a human being could possibly stoop any lower or sink deeper in crime we cannot imagine what kind of a thief he would be.

Soldier Boy News

Serffeaat Tred Oretm, youa&rest oa of Judge Green of West Hammond, has arrived in the states from France and is expected in Hammond any day for a visit. He has nine more months to serve and may remain in the army. He served in the S2nd Infantry and was in France for two years. He was one of the first boys to leave from Hammond. . . Raymond Scaaub returned to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs John Schauh of Sheridan avenue. Whiting, yesterday, having been discharged from Camp Grant. Corporal Schauh spent seevral months overseas with the 23rd engineers.

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.

AL IS SAFE. It seems rather idle to prophesy that President Wilson will fire Burleson from office. Al has for six years beea the president's chief adviser in. politics, while Al's alterego has been Mr. Wilson's Toyal nuncio in affairs International the Third House, Colonel E. M. Whatever theEe two Texas worthies have done has been by the command or assent of their master, and the master is responsible for the acts of his servant. It may be thought that Al has ofttimes engaged in a frolic of his own. but

he Is too schrewd to have acted without the authority of;

his principal, and his drastic policies all bear the signer of the dictator. Eut what clinches Al in his ducal chair Is the fact that he knows too much of the "ways that are dark" and "tricks that are in vain" of Macchiaveli Junior. JCo, It wouldn't do to kick Al out. He is vindictive as the devil. And, besides, he has done about all the harm he can-

GRAIN EXPLOSIONS AVOIDABLE. About eighteen months ago the department of agriculture began a campaign of education on grain-dust explosions In elevators and grain mills. Since that time not as explosion or fire of any importance has occurred is any of the mills visited by the field men of the department. The first thing which the commission found wa3 that the average employer knew nothing about the conditions which make for such explosons asd fires, and because of their Ignorance worked daily under such conditions, although they were perfectly preventable. Lectures were given, demonstrations of safe and dangerous methods were made, the camera doing Its share of the illustrating. Mill and elevator owners were given aid in removing dangerous equipment and the installatios of safety devices asd safety measures. Before this campaign wa3 begun explosions and fires were often accompanied by loss of life and accepted by the average person as unavoidable evils. The success in combatting the trouble is but one more evidence of the money and life-saving value of education. It is to be noted furthermore as one of the constructive bits of work which the government carries on patiently and systematically day after day, while its detractors roar and the ignorant imagine a vain thing.

ONE DEMOCRAT'S VIEW OF WILSONr Statement by Henry Wat'erson, veteran Democrat and noted editor. I think events, helped along by the president himself, will verify my forecast that he is not merely a candidate for a third term in the White Ho i? e. but that for a nomination to such he hold.- all the winning cards in his hands. The Democratic party, so called, he long ago abol ished. having previously much debauched it. Nothing of it survives ercept the tattered label, and he holds that betwixt his thumb and forefingers. I am inclined to believe, however, that he ha? eliminated the United States fnm his immediate activities as an established conquest, and is now giving his mighty thought to the sublimation of the world. A virtuous, right-minded man thus situate would emulate the humility of a Washington and the humanity of a Lincoln. Mr. Wilson sees nothing but himself and hi? personal exaltation; lives for nothing except his own advan'age; seeks nothing save power and authority, the concrete things of rulership reprepenTd by the regal splendors and feudal glories, which, though somewhat frazzled and faded, still go on about him. As a consequence of his maladroit tinkering Europe will find itself the middle of the coming summer in

flames. Then we shall have him home again urging intervention. It has been his mission in life to make trouble wherever he appeared. When the great Jehovah interjected such a sinister spirit into our affairs it must have been to punsh us for our manifold delinquencies as a nation and a people. We should steer clear of European complications. ver has there been a time when the admonitions of Washington, Jefferson and Monroe carried greater

weight. Mr. Wilson's mediocre mind and colossal vanity have already carried him far to ?ea It is ours to look to it that he does not carry the country to the shipwreck of its institutions.

IT'S A GREAT COUNTRY. This country i3 too big, too strong, too confident, too forward-looking to let the wave of unrest now sweeping over the Old World engulf it even for a time and halt its progress and undermine its prosperity. Undeniably there are signs of reaction from the strain the nation has been under. We note them in the restless feeling that the president, now engaged upon the biggest job in the world, Is doing the wrong thing. We see them in the outbreaks of crimes of violence in all the larger centers of population. We hear them in the doleful predictions of bread lines and general unemployment, bolstered by ill-consid

ered etatlstical evidence. In many ways their presence is

made known but they will pass. The country has made Its supreme effort and won and the nervous reaction has set in- Eut that is all; the country is sound as an oak.

The ration's great industries and many of the smaller

ones have been devoted pretty much to war work for the last two years or more. That means that every job at home which could be put off has been put off. We are

two years or more behind on our orders, not to mention the normal current demand. Besides, Europe must be

re-built, re-equipped and refurnished and much or most

of that business will come our way. There is going to be work at good wages for all who are willing and competent to do it. We are not going to pot because a lot of crazy Bolshevists seem to wish us to. The inevitable disturbance in quitting war and readjusting ourselves to peace will be mild and brief, hardly noticeable at all, if we don't get rattled, if we don't listen to all the wild yams we hear. Prosperity is in great degree psychological, depending much upon the spirit of a people. As the average individual thinks in his mind and feels in his heart, so the

PROSPECTIVE LABOR FAMINE. "Many employers are taking on extra help a.- in.urance against the labor shortage which they believe is imminent," says an official of the War Department. This is one of the most significant developments of recent weeks. The employer? he speak? of are probably a great deal wiser than those who. simply because of present conditions are unsatisfactory, are laying off men and spreading gloom. The sensible thing is to look beyond the present, without prejudice, and get ready for the situation that is likely to exist three or six months hence. The official quoted mentions several cogent reasons for anticipating a big labor shortage rather than a labor sur

plus. He takes for granted a more general resumption of

business as soon as the peace treaty l? signed and cer

tain necessary reconstruction measures are put through here and abroad. There may be the biggest demand in

history for goods of nearly every sort, but that need not

be assumed. If the demand merely returns to normal.

when then?

That normal demand, if it is satisfied, means a nor

mal amount of labor employed. And how can that be

obtained? We hatte heretofore kept up our labor supply

by immigration. That brought us. for seven years before

the war. an average of l.nofi.noo workers a year. During

the war we have been getting only 10.000 a year. At present we are losing rather than gaining immi

grant?. Thus our immigrant deficit by this time amounts

to millions.

There are still hundreds of thousands of Amertrn

workers In the army. They will return, but many others

will go to take their places in the army of occuiJt.i

and the standing forces kept in this country. The ship

building program has ab. orbed half a milion men from

other industries, and may keep them for years. It is certainly a pretty convincing case, for the em plover who hangs onto his workmen while he has them

even at some temporary loss, so that he can take full advantage of the tide when it turn?.

A Splendid Vein. of Coal

Bituminous coal in its lowest form may be seen in a smouldering fire of peat. In its highest form it is found in a bright, hot fire of FOURTH VEIN Aristocrat of Bituminous Coals In this splendid vein of coal, Dame Nature has achieved the best results of her wonderful chemistry. It begins to burn with a long, clear flame; burns slowly to a bed of almost white-hot coals, and then is reduced to a thin white ash, free of clinkers. There is little smoke in the process if the fire is given enough air. It is the best bituminous coal for both domestic and manufacturing purposes. And its price is attractive.
