AND IN THE MEANTIME And while the most vital question that has ever confronted the economic fabric of the United States is precipitated, a question involving the people of the entire cation, fraught with the most pregnant possibilities and eventualities, our peregrinating and perarnulating president is on a thirty-day junket thousands of miles away from where history is being written, boasting the league of nations, a European-Asiatic phantasy. Think of it!
THE HOUR IS HERE. The differences between capital ana" labor, between ej!oyer and employe, are now to be thrashed out and tt is to be hoped for the sake of women and children, of our tomes and our country that they will be thrashed out pe-iceably. The outlook impends for a protracted struggle. What the end will be no one can dare to predict, but that it will bring neither bloodshed nor disorder is a con
summation to be hoped and prayed for- Somebody must win and somebody must lose; both sides cannot win. and tha public trusts that the victory will come peaceably. We are Intimately concerned with the Calumet district, first of all. and that concern will lead every good American citizen, no matter what blood flows in his veins, to devoutly wish that there will be no strife and as few hard words as possible. Let us mind our own business and let those who are affected directly settle their own differences. It is a time for sober judgment and patience. It only needs a spark to start the conflagration. Won't it be better not to have any spark? Let us remember that there "are two sides to every question your side tad the other fellow's.
HAVE WE LEARNED TO GIVE? Dollar-a-year men were not widely known before the war, although there may have been instances of record of volunteering time and labor for the sake or a good cause. During the war the sacrifice became almost commonplace, though none the less commendable. Even now not much comment will be roused by announcement that Mr. McAdoo, who recently left the cabinet because the salary was insufficient, lias offered to defend the government in suit9 affecting the operation of the farm loan act. He will accept no remuneration except the minimum hundred cents, taking satisfaction in being able to give all to a plan in which he has ever shown keen interest. It has been frequently observed that the war developed greatly the generous side of the American nature. Men and women gave as never before. The record of achievement in subscription to welfare activities was without parallel. From the early days when the plea was "a sack of flour for Belgium," there was rivalry in giving. There will be cause for gratification if we do not permit this spirit to be eclipsed. That men continue to make sacrifices for the public service will be convincing
evidence of our national generosity. Americans have pretty nearly dissipated the idea that Americans worship the dollar- We can afford to admit such an idolatry if our search for gold is inspired by desire to use it for the general good.
THAT HAMMOND RIOT. la spetking of the. steel strike the Lafayette Journal say about a matter which has already been discussed In these columns: "In a statement addressed to Mr. Wilson, setting forth the reasons why the union officials find it impossible to delay the strike, there is at least one gross misstatement of fact which is calculated to cost some doubt upon other assertions that are made as justification for the proposed strike. " 'Another patent example,' says the statement. is Hammond, Ind., where four defenseless union men were charged upon and killed by hired detectives of the steel industry and witnesses in behalf of their survivors have been so intimidated and maltreated that the truth of the killing was suppressed.' "Clearly this is an attempt to win sympathy and arouse passion that is not justified by the facts. "The four defenseless union men' were members of a mob which defied the authority of the members of the police force of the city of Hammond and assailed the officers with whatever weapons they chanced to possess and it was only as a last resort that the officers were ordered to fire upon the mob. It is to be hoped that other allegations contained ln the address to Mr- Wilson are more nearly correct than the one to which attention is directed."
"A REGULAR FELLOW." It must be a great relief to the Prince of Wales, after the wearisome round of receptions, reviews and other functions to which he has been dragged by hi-a Canadian hosts during the last two weeks, to be able to
slip away from the maddening throng for a few days and go fishing. The manner in which he i3 taking his relaxation angling for speckled trout on the Nipigon river will commend itself to red-blooded and democratic men. It reveals the boy as what is termed in our aggressive but inexplicable vernacular as "a regular fellow." The prince will find fishing on the Nipigon a different matter from angling for the educated trout on the placid English streams. The Nipigon is wild and turbulent. Here was caught In 1915 the world's record speckled trout; it weighed 14 pounds. If the prince should have the good fortune to hook a fish of this size he will enjoy what the captor of the other described as "a considerable struggle." The great brotherhood of anglers will wish him good luck and be glad if he catches a bigger one. On his way to the Nipigon the prince's train was topped several times to permit him to fire his rifle at game which was seen nearby. There i3 ground for suspicion that this is not the open season for game at which he was shooting. Some people may be unkind enough to say that the prince should have et a better example to
his father's subjects than to violate the game laws. But others will find In the boy's inability to resist the temptation to take a shot additional evidence that he is "a regular fellow."

The upper photograph shows the bis: Italian fighter, the Conte di Cavour, as it entered New York harbor. The other picture ehows a deck view of the vesseL The Conte di Cavour, one of the big warships whose operations in the Adriatic spelled defeat for Austria and added fr;sh glory to the Italian navy, steamed into New York harbor recently on a tour of American ports. The accompanying photographs give a good idea of ner immense size. She lias a displacement of 22,38 tons, a speed of twenty-three knots and carries in her mam battery twelve 13inch fruns. The vessel is in charge of Admiral Hugo Conz, who not orJy has a brilliant fighting record, tut also served in Germany, Austria and Turkey as a secret service agent, supplying many valuable military facts. Many Italian residents of New York greeted the arrival of the Conte di Cavour and among them was Enrico Caruso, the noted tenor. The vessel was sunk by an Austrian submarine in 1916, but was raised again after the signing of the an-istice.

AMERICAN LEGION AT EAST CHICAGO Thr membership committee of ten o. the East Chicago American Legion mt yesterday in the Indiana Harbor Civic Club and made arrangements for a personal canvass of every ex-service nun with the v iew of getting everyone of lhni into the Legion. A po.st.-r design was submitted and approved by the committed to be posted in the dlfff-rent industries and business plafc.s nf the city. There will be a poster for tarh of the industries one for each of the banks, and others will be plocod in the more public and centrally locatt-d places of business. With each poster there will be left a book in which the ex-service men wl'.l h- asked to register their names and adclres.sis. The list of names thus secure d will lc checked up and members of the Legion will see each person personjj'.ty in nard to Joining the Legion. The Legion already a list of approxih.itfly -i.v hundred names but available statistics show that there "was in the neighborhood of 1S00 from the Twin Cit-i-s in the ser ice. The biggest Job .-f h Lerson is to get the names of the remaining I2nn. No trouble is anticipated in getting every person visitod. to join. There is expected to be great rivalry h-'twotn the to ends of the city in rrruitins members since there is
I tion as to whether the memoriAl cluh . house will be placed. It is possible, j that the building will be placed In th? ! end of thr- city which has the largest I uptr.ber of men enrolled in the Legion.
I The Passing Show
BIG SWEEP NEXT YEAR. Hon. King Swope. the newly elected Republican congressman from Kentucky, has been sworn in and has taken hia seat on the majority side of the house. He Is only twenty-eight years old, and ia the youngest of the 435 members. Mr. Swope was elected by about 1,700 majority at a special election to fill the vacancy caused by the death of a Democrat who had represented the Eighth district of Kentucky for over ten years. The decisive vote by which the political control of that district has been changed is indicative of the tremendous revulsion of feeling that is taking place throughout the country. At the general elections last November it had progressed to such an extent as to overturn the Democratic majorities in both the senate and house and place then in control of the Republicans, the former by two votes and the latter by about forty-five. Every special election that has been held since has returned largely increased Republican votes. The only uncertain feature In the presidential campaign of next years is the extent of the Republican landslide that is sure to sweep the country and remove once and for all the party of mal-administration that has cost the people unnecessary billions of treasure and the needless sacrifice of thousands of lives in the short eight years of its control-
ANOTHER benefit due to prohibition Is that slanderers of, the dead can no longer say "It was booze!" in commenting on the death of some man they disliked.
There are 4,000 licensed women automobile drivers in New York City. Now will you let the missus take her turn at the wheel?
PEACE seems to cost more than war BUT It Is probably worth it. , TOU often hear it said of a WOMAN that she is a perfect slave to her HUSBAND BUT whoever pays an attention to the man WHO Is a perfect slave to his WIFE OR Isn't there any such a bird? EGGS have gone up 5 cents in the Hammond restaurants AND some of them are poison gas bombs at that. DISPATCH says that "Germany is going out AFTER the toy trade" GOI'G out where? SOMEHOW man is ever inconstant and seeking new EXPERIENCES and having watched GIRLS in their tight skirts mount the street cars
WE should dearly love to see some of THE skipping the rope. THE best way to get out of trouble IS never to get in ALL other ways are imitations. THERE are too many BARKS on the sea of matrimony. WE should like to inquire in our patient and uncomplaining way WHEN are they going to demobolise the red tape forces in Washington? WE often wonder as we RUSH the forms to the steam table FROM day to day WHAT our enterprising thieves stole
BEFORE there were any LIBERTY bonds handy?
IT isn't a question of laying anything aside for a rainy day i
THAT troubles some people, it's whit they have LAID aside for a dry day. ONE of our dear friends wonders why there are so many THREATS of divorce on Warren st and so few on Ruth and Mason. A MAN usually lives with HER quite a while before he learns that HIS wife is not fooled half as often AS for the sake of preventing argument she PRETENDS to be. WELL, let's have the showdown AJCD be as quick as you can about it? WE never run across the WORD "hebdomadal" without thinking of a BAD cold in the head. XO man is indespensible as our kind employer once sail AND about all you can do is to SO conduct yourself that WHEN your kind employer in his wisdom DOES decide to fire you and docs so IT will be a little inconvenient about the office FOR a few days. TROUBLES probably are married AT least we are told they never come singly. HAS anybody a plan TO relieve the tedium and ennui .
WHEN the. peace treaty is signed AND the Ftrike-s ar all over? "HAVE you any little girls?" asked
i the six year old of the minister who had Just called
"NO. I haven't any little girls." he
said
"HAVE you any little boys, then?" she queried "NO. I haven't any little boys either." he answered with a smile "WELL, what are yours?" she persisted. ONE of the main troubles in
