We Tock Our Medicine An Indianapolis rapor carries quite a story to the effect that whereas the total amount of taxable property in Lake county in 1S37 was listed at only 52.000,000. it is now listed at over 500,000,000. That's an interesting story of progress to be sure, but a more interesting story would be what I.ake county's property was valued for taxation last year under the old law and what It's valued this year under th new law. Most of Lake county's wealth being in incorporated industries we fancy the difference would be something startling. Port Wayne News. Well, -we say this, that Lake county was stuc'ts this year in a way no other county la the state was stuck and ha3 done less howling about being stucn than any other county in the state, Including the right virtuous Marion.

And They Won't Waste Time Seeking Dr. Garfield says that people- must and will have coal. Sounds well, but must each individual take his bucket and shovel and go down into the mines after it? If Garfield and the government that he represents, cannot find a means of getting the coal to the consumer, they are a complete failure. It Is on such offical importance that the fires of anarchy and bo'.shevisni feed. If the people cannot live in comfort tinder one form of government they will seek another.

To "Defend" Tobacco It is noted that the National Tobacco League ol America has rented headquarters In Washington, ha. started a paper, and )w out for members. Its object, w are. told, is to defend tobacco against those who wouU abolish its use. It in likewise noted thai several WasL incaon bankers and business men are connected with tli directorate?. A givat drive will be made for members, wliv will pay dues, of course, and a 'powerful organization, which incidentally will have a lot of fat offices and fa deposits, will be built up- Of all the impudent grafts evt .- design d to bleed credulous and unthinking Aiaericans this Tobacco League is the most ingenious and yet most brazen. Its purpose will appeal to millions of Americans who will cheerfully come across with their annual du a and who will thus contribute to the living of a lot of parasites who dovised the great idea of protecting tobacco users from a purely fancied and fictitious menace, indeed, it Is no sure thing that part of the fund so con'ributed may not be employed to start propaganda against tobacco thus putting fear in the hearts of its votaries and rendering them more susceptible to the touch of the Tobacco League. 1'or really there is no real campaign on against tha ue of tobacco and there never will be one unless it Is promoted and financed in the manner suggested. To tx. sure, there are a fef exee-Iit-nt old ladies and a few Sister Gussies wearing pants and long flowing -whiskers who vou!d abolish the use of "the filthy weed," but there's only enoutrh of them to furnish a mild sort of an amusement and th Te'll never be any moie. Of couise. the liquor elcnum h.is eudeavored to stait some agitation Along this line. Loping to create a revolution of public feeling in favor of "personal liberty" but it hasn't managed to get anywhere. A discriminating public has. perceived the trick ;ni has "jess latfed" The uso of tobacco is neither healthful nor entirely cleanly, but it is not a public curse. It does not wreck hoim s, blight careers, destroy happiness, or bring a burlier of woe arid misery into the world. On the contrary It affords satisfaction and solace to unnumbered thousand and those who suffer fjom its use are few. .You can't arou-e public sentiment against a thing of this sort and it's no use trying. Tobacco is here and here to stay, and not even the National Tobacco League is going to be able to arouse any formidable sentiment against it, much as th:t sly, organization would no doubt love to do for the sake of the sheckels.

fthen releasing them- Respectfully referred to Attorney

General Talnier, who. it must be confessed, has not been putting very many anarchists behind the bars or outside the national gates, notwithstanding the enormous sums vof money he has had available for the enforcement of the laws.

Where Mr. Gompers Erred! To few men is given the opportunity to win the esteem and gratitude of the American people which was presented to Mr. Gompers and which he recklessly refused. That opportunity came when the railroad brotherhoods appeared before Congress in ib'lb and demanded the passage of the Adamson bill on pain of the paralysis of the country's transportation system. That was the time when Mr. Gompers should have refused Ids support to a movement that, sought to achieve its purpose through threats of suffering and death upon innocent people- Had he taken that position and appealed to all decent Americans to uphold him, theirwould have been such a response from both union and non-union patriotic citizens as would buve renaered his position impregnable. The opportunity came again when the steel strike threatened. By repudiating the radical forces that were responsible for that walkout, and declaring for law and order he could have won a host of adherents to the cause of unionism and - to himself as its leader. The opportunity came, yet a third time when the miners left their work and threatened a fuel famine. Again Mr. Gompers could have arraye-d himself on the side of law and oidr and against the forces who believe in coercion Through suffering, thereby winning to himself and unionism tinsupport of every decent American, in other words a majority of our citizens. But he preferred to listen to the teachings of Reds like Foster. Fitzpatrick and LewisBy so doing, he and certain of the unmu i-aiWs, have lost the respect of the great majority of the American people.

Farmers Decline Without Thanks When the labor union leaders invited the la:mers' organizatious to join them in a conference, the agricultural producers declined without thanks.

Will He Accept the Judgment In 191S, when asking for a Democratic Congress as a vote of confidence, the President told the country. "I will accept your judgment with cavil." The judgment was against hfni and he persisted In his policy of oneman representation at the peace conference. Since that time the people have been sending Republicans to Congress, especially where the league of nations was made the issue in the campaign. The Senate has acted in accordance with the expressed will of the people. Now will the President accept the judgment of the people without further cavil?"

"America for America," said 53 Senators whereupon they proved to the world that President Wilson did not represent his people or his government when he framed the now-dead treaty-

THE DIFFICULTY" in catching the Russian "reds" apparently lies in the readiness of assuming a disguise. They need only to shave and tfcke a bath.

KNOW the difference between ho.ipitalUy AND endurance. ANOTHER pood is the fact that WHEN your wife la wrongSHE is coin,- to be the last one to find it out.
