on the canals to a degree which it is hard for us to realize. .Beyond that about 7,000 miles or mgnway have been returned to good condition out of the 1M.000 miles destroyed or damaged in the war. In every other nation in Europe there is a disincline tion of labor to re'.urn to work; a dull, apathetic mute of mind. This is not surprising and perhaps, under the circumstances, not to bee too greatly criticized, but none the less dangerous to the future of Kurope. Just as she has done in the past. France is pointing the way to a safe and wholesome future. The first thin; to dn i. to go to work France h is a'ready dine it.

A GOOD SIGN. We are beginning to see this fool bolshevism id- a in Its tni light, so far as America is concerned. We hive come to thp place whie some of our newspapers and

t publications can jolte about it, which indicates that wo j are no longer hysterical and can appraise tho thing at it j true value. When we can laur.h at a bugaboo the buga'.xM

loses its frightfulness. Says one editor: "We know bolshevism cannot fierpetuate itself, for who ever heard of a female bolshevist?" And a labor journal contributor sends in this: "A bolshevist by the Volga's brim, A simple bolshevist was to him, And nothing more; Rut when he sailed across the sea. Coming to live near him and me. And came around our wives to seek, We made him spell it HAWI.shevik, And beat him sore." Make fun of American bolshevism. Iaugh at it. But if you meet a bolshevik do as our labor journal friends did and the Russian terror will depart hastily

t whence it came.

Thera 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. WHY HANG BACK? The enormous activity in realty in Gary, in Hammond and in East Chicago as well as the fancy price. paid for choice lots and corners presages one thing prosperity and prosperity that is unmistakable. Realty values are the harbingers of business; if they are high it is a sign of municipal progress. When markets lag, realty slumps in price. It doesn't matter where the money is coming from as long as it is kept coming. The prospect, despite labor unrest, is splendid for this region at least. There may he pome strikes; there may be a plant here and there that will close down, but nothing on earth save a national calamity can stop this great manufacturing region. It has grown steadily for twenty -five years despite slumps and panics and will grow even faster than it is growing tow. Five years from now you won't know the cities of the Calumet region. That sounds like a windy prophecy, but it is true. It will change vastly, more in the next five years than it has in the past five years. The man who puts his money In real estate in the Calumet region puts it in a gold mine. The man who build3 a home and pays for it on installments is simply paying for an annuity, its value will increase and he will oever be sorry for it. In the meantime, we suppose there are some barnacles and croakers. We will never be free from them. Let them croak and whine the Business Blues. The Calumet region is going ahead in spite of the crape-hangers. Nothing can stop it save the Almighty.

NO RACE SUICIDE IN U. S. There is no race suicide in America. The normal excess of births over deaths in this country insures a steady increase in population. These facts are brought out in the census bureau's annual compilation of vital statistics. This shows there were l,51n.792 infants born alive in the birth registration area of the T'nited States during the year 1917. while the number of deaths in the same area was 776.222; births exceeding deaths by 74.4 per cent. The hirth rate is given as 24. t per one thousand of population, while the death rate is 14.1 per cent. In every state of the registration area, in practicail? ail the cities and counties, the bureau report shows, the births exceeded the deaths, in most cases bv considerable

'. proportions. There is no evidence of decadence in the American people in these statistics, and they certainly reflect gen

erally wholesome social and health conditions. This report also refutes any claim that we need immigration. F.ven if there were not political and industrial reasons to limit or restrict immigration, the normal increase in population is sufficient to continue the healthy growth of ihe nation. We oueht to give these young Americans coming on a chance.

DIRIGIBLES AND DIVINITY. The big dirigible R-34 has made the round trip between Europe and America safely and without any exciting experiences. She took the long route out and the 6hort one back, and had no trouble at all. The return trip to England was mads in three days and three hours. "Uneventful." That is what we say now. Yet less than two months ago no man had ever flown acropy the sea, and the success of the venture was still problematical. Already we have ceased to wonder or exclaim. No anxiety was expressed as to the safe return of the big blimp. Men said, "She is off:" and returned 'to their coffee. It seems hardly decent that the miracle so soon should become the matter-of-course. It seems as if man must be dull, conceited, unappreciative of the marvels over which he is given control. Perhaps this is it; perhaps, after all, it is only that deep in the human breast is the realization that man himself is a part of all the wonders of space, and that little by little he is coming into his own. Perhaps mankind, when it comes to miracles, being himself the greatest miracle of all. is to the manor born. But this mounting up with wings, as eagles, this soaring over 3,000 miles of sea without a stop, which is more than the eagle can do, touches the fringes of the divine. What a pity not to stop and think about it, to realize it, tn all it3 splendor, instead of taking divinity so casaully!

COLD FEET IN MUNCIE. The 'boys' in the gambling houses here are reported

! to b doing only a fair business those days, owing to ! the fact that their patrons fear a good deal of public I sentiment now is against them. But why worry in ! Muneie about a little thing like public sentiment? The

i lawless element so long has come to regard local senti

ment as of no consequence that it woud seem to be a little late now to be afraid of anything like that. And besides, if ppople will only keep still about the?e things for a whie, public sentiment wil die down, won't It, as it always has done? The gamblers may not be having quite as good patronage as they had, but they should look at the thing cheerfully. Some of them are in rrison, to be sure, or free under bond, owing to their playing a "sure thing" instead of a gambling game, but that "was because they ran counter to the United States laws. So long ?s they only violate the state and local laws, what's the odds, anyway? And the arrests made here should have taught them to be wary of running counter to Uncle Sam. Muncie Press.

LEAGUE RAPIDLY BECOMES U NPOPULAR. Those senators who utilized their respite from duties at the capitol during the adjournment of congress in discussing the league of nations with their constituents found that support for the league came principally from tbose who had not. even read the covenant, while opposition to it arose from the people who had made a study of lt. Their audiences were astounded when the true import of the league covenant was explained to them, and they were made to realize the cost to America from its adoption. Senator Reed of Missouri found that virtually none of his reople had read the document. They had heard only the interpretation put upon it by Mr. Wilson and his voluble lieutenant, Taft. Of course after listening to the rosy predictions of those two gentlemen as to what would result from the league's endorsement, they were unable to understand how any honest man could oppose lt. The situation in Missouri is said to be typical of the whole country. Public ignorance is the chief asset of the promoters of the league covenant. Support for their cause dwindles just in proportion as the people become acquainted with the real purport of the proposition thai confronts them. The peak of its popularity was reached weeks ago. and since that time has rapidly declined. There is little doubt that were a popular vote to be taken today on the covenant it would be badly beaten, but by the time final disposition is made of it in the senate the country will have become so familiar with its provisions that there will be an overwhelming wave of indignation demanding its summary rejection.

BOTH MAKE MISTAKE. Every little while some one arises, generally a male person, and scores women motor drivers. Recently a test driving con'est was held in the most congested part of Detroit, and the woman contestant carried off the honors. She drove carefully, briskly, controlled her machine well and entirely disproved ihe theory that no woman can handle a car as well as a man. Later she was interviewed, and she mentioned two faults rather common among women drivers. Tho fit is that they often expect to be given right of way bj men because they are women, and hence crowd and run into tight places, unfairly menacing others and endangering themselves. The second fault, thi3 driver says, is the tendency of women to gossip with other persons in the car while driving. To this tendency she attributes most of the smash-ups in which women figure. A3 faults in motor driving both points are well taken, hut to pin them upon the fair sex is most unfair. Many a male driver "hogs" the road, taking advantage and precedence, just because he thinks he can get away with it, and often finds to his and other people's sorrow that he can't. Similarly the man who is too busy talking to see where he is going is as frequent a pest as the women. When it comes to motor-driving, sx has no place, nor any rights; it is skill alone that counts and some of the best motor-drivers in the world are women.

INDEX EXPURGATORIUS.

j When the Democrats were asking for independence j for the Filippinos. they cited the Declaration of ln. j pendence as furnishing the principles on which the separation of the islands from the United States should be j ordered. It is noticeable that no Democrat ever quotes the Declaration of Independence in the discussion of th?

league of nations.

SETTING WORLD EXAMPLE. France is showing the way to the world in peace as it did in war. While a greater part of Europe is talking, fighting or rioting about it, the French people are getting down to work. The nation is already showing a wonderful rower of recuperation, despite the fact that its wounds were deeper than those of any country save only Belgium and Serbia. During the seven months since the ending of hostilities France has laid 600 miles of double track railroads and 700 miles of single track lines. She has also cleared and reopened to navigation more than 200 miles out of tbe very Important fi50 miles of canals that had fccea ctosed fiv tho war. Interior transportation in France depends

A KANSAS CITY man has brought suit to enjoin airplanes from performing stunts above his residence. Drawing the air line, as it were.

FUNNY, isn't it, that the president says the soldiers went to France to fight for a league of nations, but wj don't hear any who came back shouting for it.

AS one of ihe reasons for the di-charge of the Director of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, the Secretary of the Treasury mentioned his "spirit of exaggerated importance and insufferable personal vanity." Wonder if Mr. Glass contemplates calling someone home from Europe on similar grounds.

THE dictionary tells us that a peroration is a "final summing up and enforcement of an argument." The final summing up of President Wilson's Memorial Day address contained eleven capital "I's," and thev were compressed within the space of thirteen lines. Summed up, riis argument is "I, I, I. I, I, I, I. I. I, I. I "

SECRETARY OF LABOR WILSON professes to believe that all persons who are expected to obey the laws should have a voice in saying what those laws shall be. Yet he remains a member of a political party that disfranchises some nine million colored people who are expected to obev the laws of the country.

You know the La Fendrich is a real Havana the moment you take it out of the box. You can tell by its delightful Havana aroma. Then, when you get one between your teeth and begin to puff away at its smooth, mellow goodness, you feel just like you are in the city of Havana, smoking the made-in-Havana article.

The only difference is, you get lots more in the La Fendrich for your money because it is made in the big Fendrich factory where millions of other cigars are made, thus avoiding a direct overhead cost. You see, the La Fendrich plant biggest in the world under one roof keeps its own ex

pert buyers in the very heart of the world-famous rich Cuban to

bacco fields, where they select the very finest of the tropic-ripened, mellow leaf, which they ship direct to the big Fendrich plant There it is aged and mellowed under scientific process, the result of years cf cigar-making experience.
