may be matched the dislike of Hearst and his followers such bitter and contemptuous statements about America as have been appearing for years in some yellow and jingoistic American publications. And no well-informed man will maintain that they represent real American sentiment. Let no American be deceived by this sort of twaddle. The two nations have a greater mutual regard for each other than they have had for years. Ami this is an excellent thine for both of them, and for the whole world, because, whatever the degree of blood-mixture, they are of the same Linguae", traditions and culture, and cons'itute twin branches of the dominant race that seems destined to inherit the earth.

Thera la only room for one flag in Lake county at.d that la the Stars and Stripes. There "la room for only ona language and that ia the language of the people of the United States. GERMANY AND PEACE. It Is not hard to predict the attitude of the German government and people to the peace treaty. They loathe and detest it just as they loathe and detest the Allies
who have made them sign it. Never will they forgive the force and the power that compelled them to put thensignatures on. a document that is the most ignominious they could possibly sign. Germony will sign with the point of the bayonet at her throat. Nothing under the sun will make her respect the provisions of the peace pact except that very same bayonet. When the bayonet is withdrawn Germany may be expected to do what the street gamin does when he escapes from the grip of the cop who caught him redhanded and that is to stick his thumb to his nose and deride his captor. The other day at Scapa Flow the Germans showed the world what they thought of the armistice they signed. They sank ships by th score that didn't belong to them. Ships that they surrendered. It was a sneaking piece of business thoroughly in keeping with all the dispicable things Germany has done for four years. Germany will regard the peace pact as she did the armistice. She will smash it at the first opportunity she gets. Don't ever forget that pacts and agreements are scraps of paper to Germany. She may not smash it for years to come," but there will come a day when she will tell the Allies to go to hell mark that well. Germany will keep peace only as long as she i3 compelled to keep it, and fnis country will be compelled to help compel her to keep it. hat'a the way we're hooked up. J THE ONLY KIND OF REVOLUTION. The "International Proletariat" has distributed circu: lars threatening a bloody revolution in this country. The "Proletariat" has another guess coming. All the revolutions Its members are likely to see are the revolutions of the wheels that are in each of their heads, so if they want to be entertained by revolutions they'd better get busy and watch the wheels go around.
in North Township. Yesterday tho board in going over assessments found two pieces of property side by sid on the same street assessed for JS.flflQ each. On one fifty-foot lot was a modem two-story two-flat pressed brick building with an income of $100 a month. A handsome brick drmbie garage stood in its rear. The property is about as exclusive and fin1 a bir of property as could be seen in the city, yet it was asse-sed at only $.'0ii. The other property was a two-story twenty year-old frame house that sold recently for J4.t"iAi It stood alone without garage, yet it was assessed also for 5,,'l0, when ja.noo would be a good price for it and $15,000 would be
a fair price for the brick flat building. It looked though that assessor had the blind staggers when
went on that s'reet. Now, such glaring inconsistencies stores the Board of Equalization in the face on all' sides and make their work very difficult. They have f-und the same irregularity in industrial assessments, and to the credit of the members of this board they are endeavoring to meet the situation with fairness and justice. The board realizes that, its duty is to see that the law is observed and not to sadile a burden on taxpayers nor to crush industry. It seems that Hammond and East Chicago have been hit. harder than Gary. Hammond is increased five times over its assessment of four years ago, while Gary is
only increased three times.
Members of the State Eoard of Tax Commissioners made a definite promise when the new law was passed that taxes would not be increased when valuations were raised. Lake County is going to hold the tax men to that promise.

ENGLAND AND AMERICA. " Speaking of Americans, the London "World remarks
"By now there is not one of the European countries that they have not overrun and they are established in the remotest corners where the Americans as a whole have not become intensely unpopular. France and Italy are more than 'fed up' with them. And the reason, I imagine, or one of the chief reasons, is that they are an inferior cation posing as a superior one. "The arrogance -of the aristocrat is detestable. But
the arrogance of the mere plutocrat is unbearable. And THE nation is going to keep on saving daylight the
after all. it Is on wealth, at bottom, that America denends i rest of the summer, anyhow. By the end of that time
REPEALING DAYLIGHT LAW. "We thoroughly agree with the Muncie Fress, which says that if there was any popular demand for the repeal of the daylight saving law it was not in this part of the country, and if the congress imagines it has made it Big hit with the wdrkingmen by repealing that measure it would only need a little investigation to findout far differently. Here it was regarded as one of the few good
things with which the recent congress could be given credit and its popularity it and has been decided. The nearest; to opposition to it from any class, so far as we have discovered, has been a feeling of indifference on the part of the farmers who said that they were guided by the hours of daylight anyway and not by the clock, and that it makes no difference to them what the legal time may be so far as their farm w-ork is concerned. On the other hand the average workingman who is not his own employer ha3 had the advantage of going to work at a time of day when in the warm weather he was nble to obtain an extra hour of comparatively cool temperature and to quit at a time when he is able to have tin extra hour of daylight for recreation. The business interests, too, have slid into the new arrangement without a jar. It has meant millions of hours of daylight profitably employed and more profitably enjoyed by persons of all classes. It would not matter of course,' if everybody could go to work at any particular time of day he chose and quit when he chose without, regard to the working time of other persons, but unhappily such a situation does not exist and it is not likely to short of the millennium which, somehow, seems about as far away as ever in spite of the spirit of pan-national idealism that some of our states
men and near-statesmen seem to possess. If we are not greatly in error, the congress will begin 1o hear from its action between now and next spring and the things that it hears will not be, for the most part, of a complimentary nature save from those whose private interests may best be served by the restoration of the old time. The repeal of the daylight saving law is distinctly a step backward.

According to the Marines the Cha-Chas are "poor mixers." They live on the wst side of the harbor of Char-lotte-Amalie, decline to mingle or intermarry with the negroes, and resent any outside interference with their affairs. They are the hardepr drinkers and beet workers on the island, their industry bringing them a good living as fishermen and weavers of straw hats.
The tribe is said to have come originally from the Dutch and French Leeward Islands. So far the Marines have taken only long distance observations of the Cha-Chas. For while the tribe is not. hostile, its members plainly indicate that they want to be left alone.

f INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE I WASHINGTON. June 24. Regulation cf the racking interests is proposed in a bill introduced in 'he senate by Senator K'ndru k of Wyoming. The bill provides federal licenses tnr parking houses. 5to.- yards and commission house?. Surrender of control of the stork yards by packers is aimed a by a provision which wmiU forbid common carriers to unload live stock stork yards owned in whole or in prt by the parking interests. Refrigerator cars would be made common carriers

The secretary of agriculture would have the licensing Pwer and authority to investigate unfair and discriminatory practices. The bill would apply also to dealers in dairy rrediiers and poultry, farmers who own their own farms being exempted end carry out i's provisions, a commissioner of foods'uffs. at a salary of 56 Pfln a year would be created. "The government must assume seme form of control if the dangers of abuses are tOj be iliminated." Senator Kenycn said in introducing the bill. "The htr,ry of the development of this industry shows a steady trend toward monopoly of the gravest sort, for it efferts the food supply of one hundred and ten millions of peopl. power always breeds the desire for mope power and the only safety for the country lies In the enactment of legislation which
wil insure competition and prex-ent monopoly. Before this paramount sovereignty the packer must yield."
