There Is only room for one flag In Lake county and that is the Stars and Stripat. Thero la room for only one language and that is tho language of the people of the United States.

Poland, "wipe out British sea power, extend her rule ln Asia, cripple her enemies' commerce, levy a tremendous "punitive indemnity" on Francea-nd Britlan, render Italy helpless, make America pay a fine equal to the war's coat, and abolish the Monroe Doctrine. And all thia to be inflicted on nations that never thought of -war until Germany attacked them. Nobody expects a convicted criminal, as he is being led away to prison, to thank the Judge and Jury for his sentence. But it behooves the criminal to show at least the grace of silence. The most shameful thing about the whole business is the failure of the Germans to show any shame for tnwir own guilt.

TARIFF REVISION. The TVays and Means committee is acting with excellent judgment in not rushing headlong into an attempt at a general revision of the tariff. There are many things to be taken into consideration in this matter of revision. In the first place. President Wilson in his message to congress from across the seas declared that no such act.on was necessary, which in other words means that he (would probably veto a protective tariff bill if it was sent to him. There is an immense amount of work involved in a general tariff revision, and all of the energy and time of a great many members of congress. If the passage of a tariff bill is to be a mere prologue wiihout a play, and cannot become law, there would be wasted much effort that just now could be used to real advantage on other important legislation. It would be a very difficult matter, too. to fix tariff rates at the present time. An American tariff is generally a thing of ad valorem duties, the effectiveness of which depends entirely upon values in the countries of production. Just now, prices and values all over the world are abnormal They are higher than they will be a year from now. Just how much higher, is a problem that no one can solve. To fix protective rates for the future is merely a leap in the dark, and the trusting to pure guesswork. Tariff duties fixed in that fashion could be but temporary. What la needed in the next revision is a law that will be much more permanent and that will protect American industry for a long time to come.

GET READY FOR JULY FOURTH.

Far be it from our intentions to either usurp any

poiice powers or to even intimate that the police department of the various cities in the Calumot region are asleep at the switch, but we hope that not a. single police chief in either East Chicago, Gary. Hammond. Whiting or West Hammond is losing any time in the matter of being all cocked and primed for possible trojbie with the Reds on July Fourth. Since the stupendous May Day fizzle there has been an ominous silence in local Bolshevik! circles, but there is an indefinable grapevine rumor that in keeping with promised July Fourth demonstrations by the Reds in various parts of the country the radical malcontents in this nc-ighborhood are preparing plans for trouble on Independence Day. Whether there is amy truth in these whisperings of promised trouble or not only time will tell, but it would be a splendid idea for the authorities in the Calumet region to be very much on the Job these days and ascertain if possible what the basis for these rumors aro and head off all Fourth of July demonstrations hoped for by the Reds. The hell-raising gentry was very well taken care of on May Day, but it was only because the police authorities, mayors and civic bodies were absolutely determined that the "Nothing Doing" sign for parades and demonstrations should be flown at the civic mastheads. The time to prepare for trouble is before trouWe breaks out. The Calumet region cannot afford to be disgraced by red flag demonstratioas, Bolshevikl riots and bomb throwing on Independence Day. We have no intimation that the authorities are not fully prepared for trouble. We hope that they a?e. They must be prepared for it. The different subterranean warnings may have no foundation, but it is best to be on the safe side. "Bolshevism must obtain no foothold in Lake county. There must be no buildings bombed, no bloodshed, no riots. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

SAVINGS FIRST. Uncle Sam is proposing a new slogan for all his peo

ple- It is "Savings First. ' Just now the Indiana ar

Savings committee is backing up Uncle Sam's slogan with an "I Am Planning to Save" movement. It asks Hooslers to sign the cards, which they will receive In the mall, and send these postcards back-to the postoffice. The postcard says, "I Am Planning to Save. It strikes me that 4.62 per cent, which is the War Savings Stamp interest rate, makes a good investment that I ought to own a few shares in the United States of America; that I ought to ward, off the rainy day, or at least be prepared for It if it comes. So I plan to save." Upon signing the postcard and returning it to the postoffice, the signer will be supplied regularly with Thrift Stamps In any amount he desires.

That is all there is to Thrift Week- It Is not a drive

and there is no coercion about it. The government want 3 j every citizen to cultivate the habit of saving first an i j spending afterwards. It advises and 6trongly urges the j wisdom of establishing a systematic plan, under which every citizen may decide at the first of the week or the !

first of a month just how much he can save, and then setting aside that amount definitely as savings. Too many people try to save at the end of the week or at the end of a month. These people usually find there is little or nothing left to save. The government's campaign is based upon the theory that national prosperity can be established only on a

foundation of personal thrift- Hence, the slogan "Savings

First." Tt is to be hoped that this campaign -will result in. a large number of Indiana people adopting Thrift habits. l The Indiana War Savings committee is asking only a simple and reasonable thing when it asks you to sign the card "I Am Planning To Save." You should do it for your own benefit.

AS to how we really did look ln that ETON Jacket shirt we were arrayed in for the operation BUT we promised our dearly beloved pastor not to tell.

staff, stated today. Ever since the signing of the armistice. Gen. March explained, it has been the aim of the department to get the men back home as (Quickly as possible. As to the army of occupation, he added, that was at matter in the hands of the inter-sllied council, but the department Is ready to expedite their return.

THE FESTIVE RAISIN. Every formula for making it at home seems somehow to provide for a raisin. No different from the regular make which was full of all kinds of raisin's Including Jackpots, tears, free lunch, oratory, borrow money, new jails, bugihouses, orphan's homes, taxes, crooked politicians, bums, outcasts, the cost of living, the price of coffins and hell generally. Whereby, as we have seen and may see, we've had in the ages behind us a bellyful of raisins and will do well to swap off the dried and convoluted variety for the fresh-squashed kind that made Bill Bryan famous and so give the dry ladies and gents a sporting chance to make good with what they've promised or fall down on the job. Besides, says the Fort Wayne News, before we go very far with it, this federal drouth law is going to have teeth as long as a rake handle and as sharp as a fish-hook, which will be calculated to make the contraband raisin treat you rough inside.

THE SHAMEFUL PART. Herr Bauer, the new German premier, in his surly speech before the German parliament accepting the Allies peace terms, said in conclusion: "All Germans without exception agree that this treaty contains the most shameful conditions ever inflicted on any people." More shameful than the treaty of Brest-Litovsk and the treaty of Bukharest which Germany inflicted on innocent nations? More shameful than the treaty that Germany would have imposed on the allied group if she had won her war of brutal aggression? She meant, by the boastful confessions of her own statesmen, to seize most of Belgium, take the French coal and iron fields, annex Belgian, Portuguese, French and British colonies in Africa, abolish Serbia, absorb half of Russia and set up a protectorate over the rest, swallow

WHAT GJLLILAN THINKS ABOUT IT. Strlck. Gillilan has not been away from Richmond so

long that the younger generation Is unacquainted with the personality and writings of the humorist who first attracted national notice while city editor of the PalladiumOld and young know Strick. and are willing to listen to his opinions. His philosophy about the return of the saloon is as witty as it is true to facts. Recently he wrote the appended dissertation on the

"second coming" of the liquor traffic: Let me tell you when booze Is coming back to its own. When American mothers adopt the ancient Ganges custom of tossing their Infants to the crocodiles. When farmers who have once begun using tractors resume the use of oxen for plowing and harrowing. When horse stages are put back on the stage routes now operating with motor cars that do a day's travel in an hour and a half. When women. who have been admitted to their rights renounce the ballot and publicly proclaim that woman's only place is in the kitchen or at the cradle's side. When nations adopt bowa and arrows instead of modem weapons ln warfare. When they begin burning witches once more. When whipping is generally resumed ln the public schools. , When three-months-old chicks begin using for their nightly lodging places the shells they discarded at birth When all these and everything else you can think of along the line of equal absurdity have been established as facts, then and not until then will the saloon be found In the states that have voted to ratify the constitutional amendment.
