dangerous anarchist It did him wrong and should tender him an apology. It should have branded him simply as an ass and an ignoramus. He has not intellect enough to be an anarchist and his apparent hostility to the government is simply due to the fact that he knows nothing about it. He is merely a barnyard "hick" with money enough to attract attention to himself."

STICKING FOR FREE TRADE. Taking the cue from the Democratic National Committee, the Democratic press insists that there must be no tariff legislation restoring the protective principle. Very well, that affords one more Issue for the 1920 campaign.

There Is only room for one flag In Lake county and that is the Stars and Stripes. There Is room for only one language and that Is the language of the people ef the United States.

A MO DEN BABEL. ir America rejects the most solemn teachings of Washington and substitutes therefor internationalism, there should be erected at the national capital a monument to Wilson overtopping the magnificent shaft which ha? stirred the. pride and patriotism of every visitor ta the city of Washington.

HOW WOULD THEY ANSWER? Over in France lie thousands of American boys iq graves. They fell in battle. If it were possible to awaken these boys and inquire of them -what they fought for. what do you suppose would te the answer? The League of Nations? Or w.uld they say hy fought for the honor of th? flag of Amr-:,"i, t' ;r.'-: you? The r suits of the war in which they lost their lives have so far been frittered away in months of fruitless palaver not for the American flag, but for an international flag. Jusk ask the boys who came back how they feel about being called by a League of Nations to fight over some petty border dispute in the Balkans. Ask them how they would feel about doing police duty in Eastern Europe. Ask them what they would do if the hordes of China were sweeping ovr Japan and the Japs, one of the League of Nations, called for help.

That's what the sponsors of the League of Nations propose, and Mr. Wilsons friends have the temerity to tell us that the whole country wants this League of Nations.

RIGID INQUIRY NECESSARY. Tt is a consummation devoutly to be wished for that the Lake County Board of Commissioners investigate, carefully the shocking tales told of the Julia E. Work institution for orphans at Plymouth In which over fifty Lake county children are housed and for whoso keep tho people of this county are paying. A Hammond man who was a charge in the institution twenty-five years ago says the memory of the terrible days he spent there is seared into his mind. la commenting on the head of the institution he said to a representative of this paper, "I always wanted to see that woman burn in hades for her treatment of me." It is amazing to think that concerted action hits not been taken before in regard to this Juvenile prison, whose owner has grown rich from the harvest she reaped.

Stories have come to this paper that one woman who was engaged as matron could not endure to stay longer than

a month because of the way the children were used. The I revelation made by the Jasper county officials are suffi j cient to demand a rigid inquiry. It is of course useless j to try to get any information from the little inmates.

They know what would happen to them did they divulge any unfavorable testimony. It is no use for the commissioners to go themselves. They would not be able to find but what everything was in beautiful shape. Other means must be employed to get at the real story of the Julia E. Work home.

THE ISSUE. When two people or two groups of people tl spitit an issue is raised, do matter what the persons interested may call it. In the senate, practically all the Democrats are for the League of Nations on the lines endorsed by President Wilson, and practically all of the Republicans are against it. Call it what you will, there is a rigorous dispute in progress on well-defined lines, and if that is not an issue, what is it? If it is not a party issue, hnw does anything ever get to be a party issue?

WOBBLERS. The attitude of the administration on the prohibition question is quite as wobbly as it has been on every question with which it has been confronted since March 4, 191H. It seems to exist in constant terror of being damned if it does or damned if It does not. And it generally is.

FORD NOT AN ANARCHIST. The Fort Wayne News thoroughly agrees with Tho Times that it is an insult to an anarchist to call Henry Ford a chap of that breed. The News says: "Henry Ford's appearance on the witness stand accomplished one thing which certainly tends to discredit criticism of him. He proved by his answers and hia conduct that he does not merit the abusive diatribes that have beon heaped upon him for the reason that he is too ignorant, too vain, and too stupid to be accountable for what he says or does. He is deserving only of pitying contempt. It is unfortunate, of course, that a man possessing his intellectual limitations and the pronene.s to parade himself as a leader, should likewise possess a vast fortune, but. since this combination is effective in his case, it is well that the public be enlightened throng the medium of some such exhibition a she made of himself upon th.3 witness stand. It hereafter will be better aMs to pass judgment upon Ford and to ta'ie lightly what he says. There has been a disposition to believe that a man who has amassed so great a fortune as Ford has must possess the genius of initiative and leadership, yet a sorrier mistake was never made. Ford simply blundered upon fortune. He devised a popular car at the opportune time, but it was the genius and initiative of another man which placed his car upon the market and which effected the wonderful organization that has made the Ford business The gigantic success it is. Ford is thi same ignorant and uneducated oaf he always has been, and hi? flight? in publicity have been taken through a swollen vanity that is nothing short of ridiculous. Yet the man is a menace only as he is misunderstood. Those who know him realize very well that his frothings mean little or nothing, and are indulged in through a woeful misunderstanding of history, facts and human nature. ' When, therefore, the Chicago Tribune labeled him as a

their return from the army were those who had served , the longest. Those who showed a deficiency were those !

who had been sent to camp just before the war ended and were discharged without having had time to benefit bymilitary discipline. This disposes of the old notion that the army unfits a man for future usefulness as a civilian citizen and worker. The new conditions that prevail in the American army tend in the very opposite direction. t makes men of those who were lacking in some qualities and improves physically and mentally even the best of recruits.
