THEIR FATE DESERVED. The sentence of Judge Martin W. Smith of Crown Point, for the young murderers in the Tolleston bank holdup should be taken as a lesson for all young fellaws who reach the decision that an easy way to live is to rob and kill. They had better take the lesson in good time if. they expect to pull off any bandit stunts in Lake County. Four of these murderous fiends will go to the electric ciair and the other two will be imprisoned in the penitentiary for life. The law's penalty is awful but it i3 Just and richly deserved. As thl paper has pointed out. there has been altoglher too much scorn of the law by evil-doers in this locality and they have been brought up with a sharp turn b Judge Smith. The Criminal Court at Crown Toint Is teaching them that the law, human life and property must be respected. The six young desperadoes who junketed around the Calumet r&gioa last month looking for banks to rob richly merit their fate. They killed a defenseless man la cold blood. Only because other men d!l not get in their "way were they not killed as well. In the meantime lawbreakers will do well to pause Wore embarking on other desperate undertakings. BUCK UP THE R. F. D. The trunk full of protests against .demoralization of rural route service, which were recently filed with the postmaster general, were not evidences of any new adverse movement on the part of the postal service. Protests of this kind have been coTnmon for the past five years, though the complaints did not come by the trunkful. During the war farmers were inclined to forget their grievances and suffer the inconveniences imposed, but now that the war is over they are showing evidence? of determination to have their rural mail service restored to Its former standard of efficiency, or better.

A CLEVER LITTLE PUBLICATION. .We notice a little eight-page magazine, unusually attractive in composition and very ably edited, called me "Graver Co-Worker," published from the Wm. Graver Tank Works at East Chicago, and the enterprise and esprit de corps which prompts its publication every fortnight is commendable in the extreme. A word must be said about the patriotism of this tuanufactory. There never was a plant in the Calumet region of its size which eclipsed the Graver Works for patriotism and loyalty to the war and all its activities. It made a name for itself and th litile magazine now issued in the interest of the men and women employed at the plant no doubt results from the same spirit that filled the factory during war times. It breathes an air of patriotism and then exhales it- Its leading article 15 an essay on "Our Country," which would disgrace no magazine ever published. Its leading article is headed "Independence." An excerpt from it says: In spite of the fact that have these precious privileges and freedom, we find men kicking about this country, but if we should ask them if thev would like to go back to the old country, ten to one thev would want to stay here. Even though prices are high, and even though you are paying a luxury tax and an income tax you should not growl, but rather give thices a chance to adjust themselves and in time these will not be necessary. We are enjoying Independence in its fullest measure. If you are as yet an alien, become one of us. Enjoy that great privilege conferred by the Constitution. It is not only a privilege, it is also a solemn obligation. How can you fittingly show your gratitude for these blessed privileges? By grasping the opportunity that is yours, by attending the schools that have welcomed you, by studying earnestly to fit yourself for the great privilege of citizenship, by upright and temperate living, by voTuntary and willing obedience to our laws. The good that a shop magazine does like the "Graver Co-Worker" is far reaching. It is bread cast upon the waters that is bound to have beneficial results. It is full of bright, snappy items that cannot fail to interest the whole Graver family. For instance, we read: Peter Ellman. of the South Yard, just returned from service at the front, must have been thinking of his trip "over the top" on his way home from work last week. The motorcycle cop who caught him claimed he was making 39 miles an hour: the next morning Pete appeared before the court and asked to explain. He said that he had been a dispatch rider in France and had traveled so fast that it had aliost become a habit and he didn't realize the speed he was making The judge dismissed him with a warning to be careful. We see pictures of "Our Returned Men," employes of the shop that have come back from overseas and when

we look at them we can see why the Graver company is j proud of them. They are certainly a fine group of boys

from all branches of the service. We congratulate the Wm. Graver Company on its publication and on the fact that it has bright young men who can put the pep in pen and pencil for its publication. The magazine is a credit to them, to Manager K. W. Bartlett and to Editor C. B. Swanson. If they ever want a job on a newspaper and we can place them, we shall remember them.

'TENTION! Here's Buddy!

50 PER CENT PAY RENT. The own-your-own-home campaign started by the department of labor shows a steady upward growth. There are now 200 cities in thirty-eight states which are pushing the campaign actively and building permits have increased greatly over the spring of last year. In spite of this, there is still a serious shortage of houses, and a far greater proportion of families live in rented quarters than is for the good of the country. The French, who are a famously thrifty and loyal people, show only twenty per cent of their population living as renters, while in this country over fifty per cent are rent-payers-Home-ownership just naturally promotes thrift and most of the homely virtues, and it also offers a basis for credit when capital is needed for the extension of busiBess. The greater the home-owning population, the sounder the nation, and it is to be hoped that the home-ownership campaign will continue to expand until it Includes the treat majority of out people.

PALMER'S BEER. If Attorney General Palmer meant to place on the Republican party through its congressional control the responsibility of making emergency prohibition prohibit the Republicans should accept the challenge fearlessly by enacting a la wdefining intoxicants. This Palmer beer, the 2.75 per cent by weight kind, is really only about on per cent milder than ordinary beer, and while the brewers say it is non-intoxicating it is in reality being used by them as a means to escape abandoning the business which the people have decreed must go. Beer with 2.75 per cent alcohol means that in many of our large cities the saloon with all its evils will remain and that illicit manufacture and sale of spiritous liquors wil be encouraged. This two seventy-five beer means th brewing interests in poitics and propaganda and lobbies for lenient interpretation of all enforcement 'leeislation under the eighteenth amendment. It means the nullification of the will of the people.

..TAXI AND MUFFLER PESTS. Something ought to be done about the reckle?6 young devils who drive taxicabs hell-bent for election past stepping street cars and who do not know what courtesy of the road is- If the majority of auto drivers and pedestrians did not use about ten times as much caution as these immature gas sharks do the police blotters would be lammed with accidents and casualties. v. Did you ever notice a taxi that has been in service for some time after being driven by one of these reckless fellows? The fenders are bent and broken. Evidences that the car has sideswiped objects are plenty on its body. If it has a bumper it is bent, the lamps are generally twisted, showing collisions. These things in themselves are proof of insanely careless driviag. Then there is the pest, generally a young lad under twenty-one, who, despite all ordinances, goes skallyhooting down the street forty miles an hour with his muf-'Ier open. He couldn't drive unless he heard that discordant noise. These pests shoot out of the side streets on main thoroughfares without the slightest regard as to who has the right of wayAbout ten days in jail during hot weather would put the fear of the law in the hearts of these fellows tli.it nothing else seems to be able to do.

PLAYED BOTH WAYS. A large amount of salvaged army material 13 reported to have brought ninety-one per cent of its original cost by public sale, and the administration is pointine to this as an example of shrewd business. It is pointed out, however, that the administration, through powers stripped from a weak Democratic congress, forced down the prices of commodities when we got into the war. and then Inflated prices after we had quit fighting. It would be difficult to point out where the general public benefited by the transaction.

WHEN the president of the United States of America meets the president of the United States of Brazil, as he may in a few days, will he say to him what the governor of North Carolina said to the governor of South Carolina?

THAT horrendous, crunching, sickening sound is the noise made by that mastodonic slacker yclept Jess Willard dropping back into obscurity from which may he never arise!

Higher Coal P

rices coming

The wise householder, of course, "lays in" his coal now to avoid the higher prices later. And why are prices higher later ? Because of storage and extra handling charges. A stream of coal is coming to your dealer's yard. If he can unload a railroad car into trucks direct and deliver it, there is little lost motion. If he must store it, it requires an extra handling and he must also pay storage room, shrinkage and insurance. You can save that extra expense by ordering today your supply of

FOURT

H VEIN

Aristocrat of Bituminous Coals? Not only must prices necessarily be higher later, but Government agencies foresee a great shortage of coal next winter. Then coal would become a speculative commodity and there is no telling where prices would land. Be wise. Put in your winter supply at once.
