Senator Harry New answered the telegram sent him by Lebanon pcopl who were not sutisfied with his vote on the amendment to the espionage bill, an amendment to prevent the manufacture of alcohol from grains during the war. The people were not (satisfied with .genalor Xcjils, Jute, and they will not be satisfied with his reason for voting again.- the only proposition that has been yet presented to thin special eatton of congui t!.i;t la h tried to restrict the manufacture and sale of poisons made from grains tliat should be Used for food. Fov ds anybody know that any other mcanure w ill be presented ? Thia congress may adjourn without taking any action upon the alcohol question. It will adjourn without such action, if some men in congress get their 'tray. It is i-ary for Senator New to say the amendinent had no place in the espionage bill, but it had as much place there as most of tue other sections of the bill. A good many other tilings were tacked on to the bill, unrelated to espionage, but apparently these did not find disfavor with Senator hiew, ami Uie otitis mha Voted as he did. Too many men find obJaions only to the thing they wish to find some objections to. Senator Cummins is a pretty good lawyer, and would hardly present an unconstitutional amendment to a law, knowing it to be such; besides, nobody knows what is constitutional until the Supreme Court has passed upon it, and the supreme court goes Bind; further than many senators would go hi declaring moral anil advanced legislation coniilutional. What fienutor New may regard as unconstitutional may be considered by the supreme court as the highest tyie of legislation, and in the interest of the public good, by men who have the Duty of passing upon legislation. Besides, ia the midst of the most terrible tyar of history, what miirht in ordinary times be regarded as unconstitutional, becomes just and right by tliQ needs and demanda of the reople. -Mr. New is a mere newspaper man, and does not know much more a'Miut Die constitution than the average newspaper man, even in the county seat towns, and the editors and iwu'tyaper people men and women of Indiana have made up their minds thit their representatives at Washington are failing to do their duty by their constituents when they fail to take tlm first, second and every opportunity to register their votes against alcohol, and especially in a time when people are eorrpelled to pay tea. twelve and fiftm-a -i,U for a lof 'pf bi .!, biie giams ate being made

Onr senior senator says that the

departments nt Viington are study ing the question of alcoholic manufac uire. But, it might not be amiss1 to my that the people back at home al ready have studied that question all thiy arching ts at-.i they haw up their minds that alcohol has to go, and wobbling senators will have to go, us well. While the departments and senators at Washington are studying the term Mernnee question, as if it were some new issue just presented, the saloon keepers are selling liquor to the sold Lnd prospective soldiers, and this should be eonsidereTi as mere treason igainst the government. To impair the man who is to fight to preserve our republic, is treason. A drunken man ran't save himself, let alone a re public. . About the best record that an Inliana senator or congressman can make is to vote for every forward looking amendment, resolution an bill that has to do with the abolish ing of the whole liquor business, nly for the war, but for all time. Senator New says he is just as iui h for temperance as are the peo ple of this county, but "actions speak utlrr than mere hollow-sounding ords." MICH TO IM) VET. The average mRn has great faith n his country and its people, but it haj a tendency to shake this faith hen he finds out that the Germans, s well as the English, knew for four days before our destroyers reached the British coast just where they would land, and the Germans prepared for them by mining the har bor. It is high time for an espionage II, for such work will not do in war time. We stand for a good deal of un-Atncricanism during the average !, hut this is not an average time. The traitors must he hunted out. nd our navies and armies must go to and fro without the Germans knowing all about the orders as soon as they are issued. Thrn, too, think of brokers sending out falsa reports of the loss of Ameriran vessels in order to affect the markets in which such brokers may trade. There is a good deal to do here before we are on a proper war footing. EASY TO EXPLAIN. Too much of our gold is being sent to J;ipan, and the government ofTicials say they can not understand this. It is easy to explain by those who have watched the great shipments of Japanese goods to this country. If we huy from Japan, we must pay. and Japan wants the real money, gold. There is a peace between Japan and Uncle Sam, and let ail hope there may always lie, hut Japan is wary and by the bourdmg of gold might be well prepared for any future controversy with this country. The lt way is to have such laws on our statute books that we shall huy from Japan merely the things that she raises and products that we do not raise or produce, and pay her accordingly. Just now we are buy ing too much from her that might be produced at home. And, too much of what Japan ships us comes in without paying any license fee, just at a time whin we need the income from such fees. THE OBSERVES AN urgent appeal to pupil to remain in high school next fall as a patriotic duty has been issued by Dr. V. I. Claxton, United States commissioner of eduMIOl'M) STAY cation. Dr. Clav IN SCHOOL ton point, o-it that there are in the high schools of the United States this vear more than one and one-half millions of buys and girls, and somew hat more than 2M,00f) of them will graduate this month and next. In an ordinary year 90,000 or more pf these voultl next fall enter college, normal school or technical school to be proiard for such service 'o society, state and nation as can be rendered only by those who have received education beyond that which the high schools can give. He says: "Many college presidents and others fear on account of our entrance into the war, few boys and girls will enter college next foil anil that the total attendance will be very small The numher ought, ho vever, to be much 'argor than usual.

capacity of the country as a whole in anv appreciable degree. The colleges, ncrmal schools and technical schools will be open with undiminished income from public funds and endowments, and the expense of their maintenance will continue. It ia quite probable that many of the older students will not return next fall and the higher classes will be smaller than usual. The graduates from the high schoolshould see to It that the Inw- cl.vJ'.-os more than make up ' i. j deficiency. "This apre..i is made on the basis of patriotic duty. If the war should be Jong the country will need al) the trained men and women it can getmanv more than it now has. There will be men in abundance to fight in the trenches but there will be a dearth of officers, engineers, and men of scientific knowledge and skill in all the industries, in transportation, and many other places where skill and daring are just as necessary for suc cess as in the trenches. The first rail of the allies is for 12,000 engineers ind skilled men to repair the railroads )f Trance and England; and other thousands will be needed later. Rusa will probably want thousands of en to repair and build her railroads. The increase in transportation and the tax on our own roads will call for arge numbeis of men of the same kind. New industrial plants, ship yards, and our armies abroad will cull for highly trained men beyond all posible supply unless our college and technical schools remain open and in:rcnse their attendance and output. "When the war is over there will e made upon us such demands for nen and women of knowledge and draining as have never before come to my country. There will be equal need tor a much higher average of general ntelligence for citizenship than has been necessary until now. The world vill Jiave to be rebuilt and American -olloge men and women must assume i large part of the task. 1.1 all inernational affairs we must play a tnore important part than we have in he past. For years we must feed our wn industrial population and a large 'art of the populat'on of Western anil ntral Europe. We must readjust ur industrial and social nnd civic life tnd institutions.

A correspondent with the tiritish irmies east of Arras sends this de ception of aerial warfare: There have been hours when I have beard overhead a continual tattoo of Iwis guns and when a great sweep of sky has been racked out with white shiapnei clouds following our flying squadrons engaged hotly with ostile machines.

Hut, though they fight bvhiml their own lines with great skill and courage, they do not ctyis ovor our country in anv such number us our men invade theirs. These boys for they are absurdly young in the average age take all these deadly ri-ks and do all this work of terror with the same spirit as the young gentlemen of England who rode out with Sir John Chandos and Sir Walter Manny to seek combat with French knights many hundred years ago along the roads where our modern men-at-arms go marching today. During this recent fighting one of them challenged a German Albatross, which accepted fight, and for an hour they did every trick known to flying Mailing, banking. aide-slipping, looping in order to get in the first shot. It was the German who tired first, though he showed himself master of his machine. There arc hoys in our air service who huvc killed six or seven Germans in sinirle mnW few bate accounted for many more, and go off again for a morning's hunting of men as though on a good adventure.
