Win the War With Patriotism . The National Security League in session in Chicago is speaking in clarion tones about the necessity of patriotism and loyalty. Former President Taft minced no words in his warnings against the suggestions of "whispering traitors," who, he predicted, would do Germany's service in advocating covertly and openly the concluding of a premature peace. "There has been much whispered treason," declared the former president, "and this whispered suggestion has had its effect. It ha3 been directed to the paralyzing of our efforts through minimising the interest of the people in the war; to subverting the morale of the nation, and to taking off the fine edge of patriotism among our people. "The chief value of an organization such as

this one lies in its educating the people that there never was a war so righteous and so ideally prosecuted as this one. The very fact that we are idealistic in this war has prevented, in some degree, the flowing of the war spirit. If we were after territory; if we had selfish national aims, or if, like the Germans, we insisted upon our culture being required for the salvation of the world, we might arouse the more humanly materialistic side of our people more quickly. That's why we must educate the people of the nation to the sauctity of the cause. "The time is coming when all the little centers of discontent in the country must be suppressed. I appreciate the situation of many of

our people of German birth, or immediate descent, and sypmathize with the bitterness of the decision they must make. As a rule, however, they are loyal, and the gravest blunder the kaiser made was in reckoning on their disloyalty. But there are, undoubtedly, some who are disloyal, and these enemies from within should be hunted down rigorously and given the short shrift of a firing squad. While we are hospitable, we owe a duty to ourselves and we are not fools." The Wayne County Council of Defense has been acting on the theory advocated by Mr. Taft. Little centers 'of unrest and persons who have kept them agitated have been dealt with summarily. Prompt action is needed in this crisis.

The patriots of this community are on the right track.

tific basis upon which life insurance is operated will enable it to render abundant service to the country and to emerge from the great war safe, sound and solvent. "As one of the important and responsible factors in the financial and social service of our country, thi3 company has regarded it as an imperative duty to use its influence, its machinery and its resources in every consistent way in the war service of the nation." Many companies have invested millions of

dollars in government bonds, thus protecting their policyholders and also helping the govern

ment win the war. The companies are sound and policyholders need, not worry that the money they have spent for life insurance will be jeopardized by the war exigency. .

Pigs and Scrubbing

The city council has an ordinance pending

which would permit the keeping of pigs in residential districts under certain conditions. The motive of the ordinance is to help workers fight the high cost of living by raising pigs in their backyards. Shelbyville has a pig ordinance pending on second reading. The ordinance permits the raising of at least two pigs, provided they are kept scrubbed and clean and are not kept within forty feet of an occupied residence.

Pigs" are pigs. Richmond pigs and Shelbyville j pigs have one thing in common their filth. t If j the city council passes the ordinance here somej

provision ought to be inserted that will forestall complaints provoked by the stench that usually arises from a sty.

The Food Administration Says: THE reason that you are asked to eat corn and let the wheat be shipped to Europe, "is that our Allies have tew corn mills and are unaccustomed to the use of corn and the preparation of corn breads. It is not practical to ship large quantities of torn meal, because it spoils in tranfir. Furthermore, our Allies have very few home ovens; they buy most of their bread at the baker's and corn tread is not good "store" bread. The cats, rye, barley, etc., that we send will not support them unless mixed with wheat.

The Stability of Insurance in War Many persons are wondering whether the insurance companies will not be hit hard by many casualties in the American forces abroad. Some may fear that the companies will be unable to meet the policies that must be paid if thousands of our boys are killed. It is gratifying to know that the insurance

companies have been operated on such a sound scientific basis that they can easily meet these obligations without impairing their stability. The president of one of the big companies in his annual letter to policyholders says: "The sturdy strength of our nation, its power to resist sudden stress, its adaptability and flexibility which enables it to meet and adjust itself to any contingency are qualities also found in the great American institution of life insurance. "No severer test than the present and prospective burdens of the war and the economic disturbances which it causes could be put upon our life insurance companies, and yet this situation but serves to emphasize their great strength and stability. Every American may have the satisfaction and comfort of knowing that the scien-

are striving for the world dominion of Germany, : and that at any rate, is what the others are not;

prepared to yield to them. "The German Defense Association (Wehrverein) has quite recently expressed this with all the lucidity that can be desired. In this manifesto we find the following words: 'We need room and air for the further development of our German nationality. The time for moderation is past. Relentlessly thinking only of our interests, we must and we will dictate peace. Only one

Full of Fight From Farmers' Review. '

CCASIONALLY we run across a strong-hearted.

bard-fisted, clear-thinking patriot who is fighting mad and knows why and who is bending every

effort to serve his country, wishing he could be in. France with a gun and at home producing food and making munitions and other things for war purposes all at the same time. Recently we met one such who is a farmer, and it was good to meet and talk with him. For some of his rich neighbors who gave all of a dollar to the Red Cross and who bought a whole $100 liberty bond he had little time. And he said some things not entirely complimentary to those farmers ready to give up because "they can't get help." "Neither can I get help," said be, "but do you think I'll be downed by that handicap ? When I get at the old farm next season there is going to be some little stirring around, and I'll plan and work and I'll grow, Go.d willing, as much as I ever grow before. I'll just get through somehow because I've got to. We Americans are not weak-kneed and we're not yellow. We will win because we've. got to, but some of us need to brace up and fight harder and complain less. If we depend on the boys going over to do all the fighting God help us!" He was not boastful, neither was he excitable nor hot-headed. He was just full of fight, that's all. Nothing can stop a nation of that kind of men and women. I

INDIANA'S PRESENT DUTY BY JAMES P. GOODRICH, Governor

Failure implies a lack of patriotic appreciation of the needs of the nation, of the requirements of the cause and of the significance of Indiana's continued leadership of all war activities.

We were told by the British Labor Commission recently that this is a war of mechanics that the success or failure of the enterprise against Germany depends upon the support those at home extend to the men on the firing line. The truth of this assertion is now patent. The great need of the United States at this time is not to bear arms, but men to build ships. Indiana boasts anc is justly proud of her record in recruiting men for all branches of the milit iry service. Indiana has given freely of her dollars, as she has of her sons. TV'e are now face to face with the sternest test yet Imposed. Stripped of all glamour, with none of the romance, none of the sentimentality that attaches to the array and navy, the call comes for shipbuilders comes, asking 10,847 j skilled mechanics from Indiana.

In order to overcome submarine

losses and leave a margin necessary to provide for iho increased trans

portation demands of the American troors and supplies. It is positively ressary that 9,800,000 tons of shipping be built this year. Anything short of this stupendous figure will be not enough. America must not slack this duty, she dare not slack this duty. Indiana wlU not fail to make her full contribution to its suecessful performance. , We are told, and it is manifest that the very life of labor itself depends upon this construction. Manufactur

ing plants of the United States today employ 13.000,000 men. Of these nearly half, or 6,200,000, are working on war materials. Unless the congestion

of munitions of war literally mountains of it, as has been said, now piled up on our coast terminals moves abroad, industrial operations in the country, perforce, must cease. There is only one way to prevent such a calamity. That is by concentration on shipbuilding and the production of the tonnage required. Manufacturers realize this situation perfectly. The President of the United States has deemed

it of sul.!icient importance to give it his immediate personal atUntion. The food and fuel administrators, leaders of organized workers, all unite on this one proposition ships are the essence of continued prosperity in America and

Allied victory in Europe. I cannot overemphasize the import

ance, the urgency and patriotic nature of this duty. Indiana mechanics, who will form a division of the shipbuilding army, are asked first to register with the local agents of the Public Service Reserve. They are asked to continue at work until the call comes for them from the Shipping Board to do their part and it is by no means an ignoble part in winning this war. In the name of Indiana, of her proud traditions, of her splendid record of

war accomplishments to date, I ask that they take this to heart, that the ships be built, that we do our part. Our part now is to help build them.

Picture of D.M.Roberts Has Disappeared at T. H. TERRE HAUTE, Ird., Feb.23. The large photograph of Donn M. Roberts,

former mayor of Terre Haute, which has hung on the walls of the council chambres along with photographs of other ex-mayors, has disappeared. Dad Fisher, new custodian, professes ignorance; likewise the rest of the new administration. During the Gossora administration Roberts's picture bung just to the left of the central portrait of Mayor James M. Gossom, who succeeded him after his imprisonment at Leavenworth, Kas. When Charles R. Hunter became mayor last January Roberts's picture was moved to one side, Gossom's re-j

placing it. and Hunter's portrait was hung in the central location. But now there's space where Roberts's likeness

formerly was.
