The End of The Standard Strike. Hammond rejoicea at the end of the disastrous Standard Steel Car strike. It was a body blow to production and prosperity. Of far more consequence than that it counted a fearful toll in human life and injured. What it has cost In money will never be known. It was the most dlr-astrous strike in total cost that I-ake County ever had and if those affected by it count the cost they will naturally Inquire whether or not it was worth It. There seems to have been a spirit of conciliation and yielding on both sides at the end. which it is to be regretted was "not evident when the strike started or things might not have gone, as far as they did. The strike was a blow to business In Hammond and the merchants have constantly bewailed it for it cut off a lot of their best customers. Its Indirect infulence was to curtail buying. Had it lasted much longer scores In the Standard district -were near the verge of starvation and with winter fast approaching, we all know what that would have meant.

lication. it is no longer a question of rice, but rather a ques- ,

tion of getting paper at any price. As is always the case, the larger fry are in a more advantageous position than the smaller fellows, and in those quarters where economy could be practiced to the greatest advantage of all there is not the slightest tendency toward economizing. Unless there is a decided change in the situation in the immediate future, many smaller daily newspapers will he forced out of business; even now they are con fronting with ruin. Some of them are raising their subscription prices in an endeavor to postpone the fateful day when they must close their doors. Rut, as was said before, it is not a question of price but a question of paper at any price. It is claimed the consumption of print paper at this time exceeds the manufacturer's output by thirty-five) per cent. Under such circumstances it is easy to foresee what the outcome is to be in a great many cases. Prior to the war, print paper sold around $2 a hundred pounds, sometimes, if one was a shrewd buyer, a little under that price, sometimes a little over. Yesterday one of the great dailies in Chicago was unloading paper purchased in California at $7 per hundred, plus $1.16 per hundred freight charges, and cartage to be added to that. In print paper circles there is talk of a price of $10

per hundred in the immediate future and. unless a curb!

is applied, no doubt these prices will prevail before the first of the year. So, when you see the array of daily newspapers on the news stands these, days you may rest assured they are there only at vast expense and days and nights of worry on the part of their publishers. Even the strenuous days of the war period would be welcomed by consumers of newsprint in these piping times of pea:e. La Fayette Journal.

Wine and Women. The Federal government has struck bibulous bachelors a staggering blow. The law permitting the manufacture of home-made wines is held to apply to heads of

i families only. It may be that congress in its wisdom felt that the ' opportunity to become Inebriates through home winemaking should be confined to those who have wives to I care for them. At least that is a logical conclusion from , the ruling that wine and women must be combined in I our home. I The situation at least presents the advantages of

matrimony from an angle hitherto unthought of.

What Lincoln Said. So much favorable comment has been made on the article on the constitution on this page last Monday that we tak ethe liberty of publishing an excerpt from one of Abraham Lincoln's addresses made over S years agD. bur just as good now as it was then. Lincoln said : Let. eery American, lover of liberty, every well wisher to bis posterity, swear by the blood of the revolution never to violate in the least particular the laws of the country, and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the constitution and laws let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor let every man remember that to violate the law is to trample on the blood of bis" father, and to tear the charter of his own and his children's liberty. Let reverence for the laws ba breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap: let it bp taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primer-, spelling books, and in almanacs; lt it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in conns of justice. And. in short, let it become the political religion of the nation, and l"t the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the grave and the gay of all sexes and tongues and colors and conditions, sacrifice unceasingly Upon its altars. While ever a state of feeling such as this shall universally or even very generally prevail throughout th nation, vain will be every effort, and fruitless every attempt, to subvert ou rnational freedom.

The Publisher's Worry. As the reader more or less hurriedly scans his daiK newspaper these dajs it. probably never occurs to him that the newspaper publishers in the United States are "worried stiff" over the problem of where to secure the paper that is necessary to enable thnm to continue pui-

To Make Aliens Learn. As a result of its investigation of the strike of steel workers the senate committee on education and labor has drafted a bill designed to promote the so-called "Americanization" movement. It provides for the education of aliens who cannot read, speak and write our language. This scheme is to be carried out by the Federal government in co-operation with the states. The Federal appropriation of $12,500,000 annually for the next three years must be suplemented by appropriations of the several states accepting the assignment proportionate to the amount received by them. And the benefits of education are provided not merely for aliens above the age of 1G. but for adult citizens of the United States who are illiterate. For some time a similar measure, strongly advocated by Secretary Lane, for the instruction of illiterates, has been before congress, but the new bill contains one vital and striking addition: The making of this elementary education in our language and customs compulsory for the classes mentioned. They are to attend school for not less than 200 hours a year until they have completed a specified course, and necessarily a penalty is provided for failure to observe the law. This seems the only way to make the law a success. We rightly insist that every child shall receive the benefits of education and the government is well within ist powers in applyng the compulsory system to adults. This has been shown to be necessary as a matter of selfdefense. For years this subjected has been agitated by persons who were classed as professionalreformers ridinj; a hobby. They were scouted as theorists. But now. after the emergency has arisen, there is haste to enact their theory into law. It is easy to be wise after the fact, but surely if we had taken some pains before thi3 to teach foreign workers our language and ways, and the value of our institutions, framed for the welfare and protection of all, the professional trouble makers would scarcely have obtained such a following in this country.
