EUSSIAS PLIGHT. Reports from Lemberg by way of Berlin are to tho effect that the soviet government of Russia is about to send Maxim Gorky on a mission to Eondcn and Washington ia behalf of the stricken country that once was the great Muscovite empire. Gorky, within the last fewdays, issued an appeal addressed to "all honest men.' stating that the drought and the plague are killing millions in Russia and that "Europe and America must bring us Immediate aid." Now the government of Lenlne and Trotzky is said to have made confidential overtures to America :n order to obtain help that ia urgently needed if renditions are as bad as reports describe. The unfortunate country is said to be in the throes of horrors even worse than those ascribed to the revolution itself, with transportation paralyzed and industries closed due to feebleness of workers. Such a result of Russians surrender to the Godless schemes of its modern oppressors might have been foreseen. Russia needs to stop its warfare, for which there is no excuse except tte desire of Lenine and Trotzky and their Ilk to spread their vile power. It needs to establish freedom of thought and political liberty, demand for which was the basis of its revolution against czardom. It needs an unfettered constitutional government also. Then if its citizens really wanted to set up a communist state the ycould do so. Communism, no raore than autocracy, can be tyrannical and survive; failure to recognize that fact is what is causing Russia's present trouble. Disease and fJKlne are but the natural results of a disorder of internal organization which" has rendered its people powerless to help themselves. Humanity will require that Russia gets all the aid she needs and will permit her suffering population to receive but the relief will come more quickly If it is preceded by a political change In that country that will permit such liberty of action as should prevail in a democracy.

A HERO STILL. Two years ago the country rang with laudation of tie exploit of Sergt. Alvin'C. York. He was the greatest individual hero of the war and .was , loaded with decorations, congress pausing to award him the rare prize of the Medal of Honor, a distinction valued more highly than the Victoria Cross in another land. A Tennsssee mountaineer, he had entered the army deluetantly because of conscientious scruples. Placed in a position that w-as almost hopeless he shot hisvay to safety, at the same time rescuing his companions and capturing a lot of prisoners. Once his exploit became known he sprang into famej With it all he was unaffected. He went to his Tennessee home, married and settled down. However, it appears that affairs have net gone well with him. His mountain borne had a mortgage on it and he waa unable to keep up the payments. The other day he was evicted and he left his little cabin with his wife and babies to seek a jb as a day laborer. His fame as a hero, his medals and other decorations have not assisted him in the prosy yet not unherolc task of earning a living for himself and his little family. It may seem that there is something wrong with the situEticn, that a man who was able to meet an emergency and triumph over it should merit a better fate. Notwithstanding his failure to meet his cbligations there is something of the hero about his actions. lie never tried to capitalize his exploit. He might have made mcney in the movies. He did not assume a pose or take the position that the government owed him a living. So far as could be observed he was the same simple-minded mountaineer after he became famous as he was when unknown outside Ms native hills. In the news item that tells of his misfortune there is no appeal for sympathy or lament over his failure. It is a matter-of-fact statement that he went to hunt a job as a day laborer. That too, is heron'r, houhg of a common sort. Hav

ing failed at one thing he goes to find something else. ! It is a kind of heroism that is exhibited by many who never slew Germane by the score, yet it demonstrates real manhood. Republics are ungrateful, perhaps, but the reI hero asks for no favor, but meets circutn&tanc-s a they axise and without complaint. i

HOW MUCH

DO YOU KNOW?

FAUM ORTAGAGES. In a period during wnich prices of farm producU have ranged higher than ever before in the histcry of the world, the mortgage debt of American farmery has more than doubled. This burden of debt has increased from 1, 170,172,851 in 1910 to $4,012,711,21 3 in 1920. Doubtless these satistioa will bo widely quoted by agitators to bolster the contention that the agriculturalists have been unfairly treated. There are, however, many phases of the situation to be considered. A clue to one important factor explaining what has been taking place may be found in the further statistical statement that the value of the farms increased 117.6 per cent during the same period. Primarily a piece of property may be said to be worth what it will bring. The prices at which farms have been sold doubtless weru taken by the census bureau as the proper index of farm values. And back of this lies the estimate of the purchasers of wbt they could gain in return for tillage cf the land, an estaate which during the 10-year period was stimulated by the remarkable inflation of farm product; prices. Out of such conditions came an unpreceutod movement of thvfaim real estate market. Farms were roltj again and again, assuming with each transaction the flat pre fits of the sellers and in most cases pyramided mortgages. The totaling of mortgage burdens, therefore, does not afford a fair basis for deduction as to prosperity or profitableness of agricultuiT:. It may be safely asserted that the practical farmer who has worked his land and conducted his business according to approved methods has made more money than ever before. It Is unfortunate that because cf the speculative tendencies of the period of inflation, these diligent and industrious farmers seem in danger of suffering 1n the reaction which may follow. AMERICANISM AND LAWLESSNESS. Nothing recommends the American Legion more highly to the respect and confidence of the people of the United States than the manner in which the society disciplines these of its members who, acting In the name of the Legion, show contempt for law and order. The national organ of the veterans reports the case of a post which has been suspended from membership because a committee representing it gave a horsewhipping to the editor of a newspaper for publishing an article which the post members considered objectionable. The nature of the offending article Is not disclosed. It is pretty safe to assume that it was cf a high provocative character, since it induced the organization of ex-service men In the town in which it was published to take such drastic action. But. provocation Is not accepted by the Legion as an excuse for the lawlessness shewn. The avowed purpose of the Legion is to promote 100 per cent Americanism. Now red-blooded patriots are always strongly tempted to whip or drive out of the community or apply tar and feathers to these who insult the flag, or sneer at our soldiers, or seek to destroy the government. But a few moments of reflection will show every reasonable person that Americanism is not to be inculcated by igorning the requirements of law and order. There Is no consistency in assailing those who would overthrow the government and at the same time showing contempt for the government by violating its laws.

PROSPECT PARK BUILDING UP SPLENDIDLY

An Investigation of the new building activity in Hammond discloses the fact that seventy-five per cent of the houses being built are for home owners. Every home that is built spells that much more prosperity for this city. Kvery home owner is a homo booster.

Every firm or individual who invests its money in building projects should receive the pood will and support of the people and business interests of tlatf city in trying to provide hnmnj for the cities growing population. Deserving: of mention alonp this line are the efforts of Harry W. MarC'nau in building up hi beautifully

located I'rospect Park Subdivision on South Hohiuan street. Uy the way the contract has been let and work will soon commence on the paving of Hohman street south to the Gary Itidge Itnad, eonivcctinK up with the Lincoln Highway. The newbrick homes springing up in Prospect Park certainly looks pood. The owner stated to the reporter that every lot in the subdivision facing Hohman st . had been sold but one and that there were two buyers after it. There haa Just been started twenty thousand dollars worth of buildings. One of the reason is that the people are buyinjf lots in this addition on account of the buUldinu restrictions and wonderful natural advantages. Mr. Marg.-nau claims he will clojr out the remaining twenty lotji in the next week or so and that there will be no less than fifteen or twenty hrirk homes under way before the snow flic?.
