THE LARGEST CITY. Few questions are more frequently asked the inforniatioo bureaus of newspapers than "What is the world's largest city?" For many yt-ars the answer was simple: "London.'" Then the Greater New York crose, taking in not only Brooklyn, but Stateu Island .tnd the Bronx and other outlying districts and became the world's metropolis. London followed suit, increasing her area and population, and the qucstiou became confused. Now comes announcement of the census taken this year which gives London a population of 7.476.16$. an increase in the last decade cf nearly three millions. Last j ear's census gave Greater New- York a population of less than 900. 00 increase since 1 91 0 or .',." 2 1 . 1 " 1 inhabitants. The present area f Greater New Yyk is 3K square miles and of Greater London tilt 5. Jersey City. Hoboken. Newark and other cities of New Jersey are as much a part of the American metropolis, front a standpoint of location, as many communities allotted to London are a part of the British capital. They can never be included in the statement of New York numbers, but a large portion of their population inhabits the big city for many Lours daily. But mere size in a city is no longer looked upon so desirable as formerly. Quality is considered more than quanity. If Pittsburgh had her due she would rank far higher in the teneus table than she does todav. Her comparative prosperity is reflected in her bank clearings and in the products of her industries. The mere pt puiation figures do not tell the whole story of any community's relative importance among her sister cities.

not spring up in the fallow ground. That is what is the tfouble in Russia today. Thut former empire has vat stretches of productive eoil capable of feeding huudreds of millions of pet pie. But the husbandman, not being assured of the reward of libor expended, has failed to nroduio the surplus that is demanded on behalf of those who have not. Therein is waere man. net nature has failed. The instance is porof that man must have security and be assured ot possession of his own and freedom to barter, a the wurld iloes Ylut go hungry. More than that. to), he must have the means ot transportation. There must be connection between the urowtr and the consumer for the protection of both. When the Russian authorities by -the disorder they promoted wrecked the railways they contributed to death countless numbers in regions where there was drought. The means of carrying food to cousumers is not less essential than producing it. The lesson of the situation i that death lies in orgies of government like Russia is lU'ing under, not death bv the headsman's axe. though there has been

) that, too, but. death trom hunger because tL. re is j not enough food produced. Russia will have to choose between orderly government, which protects the citizens in their industry and provi les the mens whereby I al! may be supplied with those things essentia! to j comfortable living which the do not. themselves produce, but which may be had by fair exchange, and the

niniouh policy of the last few years. Th-re will be those who are hungry until transportation between those who have and those Who want is restored. The rearer and the railroad must be made use of if they are to nrolde the insurance nf which they are capable. Man cannot destroy and yet have. Russia is an example of what lack of security produces. The lesson should be effective.

Since school opehed Tuesday, Officer Ben sic y has made no less than a hundred conuueate. Stationed In front ot the Onii-al school building to assist extremely young ladies end very young men across the street, he has become a combination of Sir Raleigh anfl lxu Fairbanks.

The young ladles of the kindergarten and tht; flrst grade run to him eagerly and place their little handu in hie with tremor of delight. He 1b their knight errant, gallant, chivalroue. charming

and gentle. At night as they nestle i

their curly head to aleep they think of him. And seeing how stirccMcful Officer Keaeley is with the young ladies', the young men of the kindergarten and the first grade have decided to join Chief Austgen's department when they have aTtalnid the dcrlred heighth and breadth.

RUSSIA'S LESSON. TV"hen modern harvesting machinery was invented: which made possible and profitable the growing of grain on a gigantic scaie, and transportation system" were developed to carry to market the products of the soil. It was felt that the world in its enlightened parts was insured against a repetition of famine. Enough food was grown to feed all the peoples of the earth It needed merely to he distributed r,)es;dte this we m recent years have heard much about pe pie dying of starvation and our sympathies repeatedly have been appealed to in behalf of the hungry, This is not because nature has refused the increase from the seed sown, but because man, with total disregard of consequences, has seen fit to produce a condition in which nature is not permitted to do i's work. Man must, do his part before nature can perform its function. If man is nor permitted to sow the grain will

N0MALACY. Haig of Bemcrsyde, England, refuses to buy a book. He admits that he knows something about the war, having spent several years in active service in Frame, where he met. a lot of people who also knew .-outuhmg about ',' et he refuses to write i bock. All his secret papers are to be deposited in the Jtritis'h museum, in a locked cupboard, for a period of sixty years. Viscount Esher, closest friend cf the late Lord Kitchener, has written a small book telling the tragedy, not of Kitchener's death, but of his failure; but all his voluminous papers and diaries and letters are to be locked in a cupboard with the Haig papers at the British museum, for a period of sixty years. Everybody stands and li-e three rousing cheers for Lords Haig and Esher-May their volubility never increase! Sixty years is a long time and those of us who may expect to be here at that day of revelation are comparatively few. If we remain we shall totter to the library and, with the aid of a powerful glass, scrutinize with equanimity these chronicles of an event of .'he dint and almost forgotten past. Haig, Kitchener, Esher! They will be shades, already legeudary; the war will have shrunk to its large essentials: the crissc,st of cabinet and war council intirgue will not stir a single newspaper reader to a spasm of indignant letter-writing. Measured by the past sixty wears, the great war sixty years hence will look like the wars of the Gauls. Be that as it may. it may be respectfully suggested to all persons having it in mind to write books about the war. whether of revelation, aecusatjon cr approbation, to deposit their invaluable records in a national library, whence they will mellow and even perchance become indecipherable. Although that means too much to hepe for.

More than ever, people realize today the mistake of not having money in the bank. Every newspaper carries stories of suffering from want of money. Every newspaper carries stories of people who have lost their life savings because they did not deposit their money in a safe and conservative bank. With these facts in mind, we wish to impress upon you again the truth of the statement that IT IS GOOD BUSINESS TO HAVE AN ACCOUNT WITH THE First Trust & Savings Bank Formerly Known as Lake County Savings and Trust Bank Comer State and Hohman Streets HAMMOND, INDIANA PETER W.
