COMPANY
To BUILD It
COL W. J, Riley, Property Agent
Given Orders to Rush Con-
StTuCtIOn Of 1St Unit,

Work began yesterday at Berry
Lake on the 200 acre tract owned
by the Mark Mfg. Co. and lying be-
tween its plant and the Standard
Oil plant on what is the most stu
pendous building project ever start
ed in the county outside of Gary.
Col. Walter ]. Riley. property
agent for the Mark Mfg. Co., is
beginning the erection of the first
unit of 188 homes on the property
and force of engineers, architects
and landscape gardeners expect TO
make things hum at Berry Lake
before snow flies.
An idea of the scope of the work may
be obtained when it is said that the
filling in of the swamps alone will cost
three hundred thousand dollars.
The work will be revelation to Lahe
county people and social economy v.or.
spent two years in Europe studying ho {,
to get the greatest building efficiency in
the tract. When all the units are com
pleted the beautiful subdivision for il is
going to be a beauty and Will be a pat
tern and model for working mems
homes. The houses are to cost from
$4,000 TO $4,000 each. They will be
the last word in scientific house build
ing. The building scheme is so different
from all schemes now in vogue in Lar
county as to be as different as day is
from night. The drainage. engineering

ment, concrete work and lighting will
make the subdivision. which is practical
ly on the lake front. a most desirable
one for worklnen. The houses will be
leased only to the employees of the Mark

their property agent have every reason
to be proud of the prospects they have
outlined.

timed as to convert all the fighting
into one great battle.
Germany made her supreme effort

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21--sentiment
in the Senate yesterday leaped toward
high taxation of war profits and large
incomes. A stirring speech by Hiram
Johnson Of California stimulated the
move already under way.
Those who coin the blood of war are
those best able to pay the expense OF
war he cried. Those who make swollen
profits out of this particular exigency
are those who should pay. We are will
ing to conscript the youth Of this land.
We must have the same inexorable at
titude toward money"
JoHNSoN'S ATTACK
COMES AS SURPRISE.
The assault of Senator Johnson upon
the war revenue bill had not been an
ticipated and caught the proponents of
the measure by surprise.
He spoke to a filled chamber and hts
racing eIoquence held all in their seats
until he had concluded. He said:
THE observations desire to submit
upon this measure are general in char
acter. but none the less, from the stand
point Of some of US, quite fundamental.
CoNTENTED PEOPLE
MUST BACK TRENCHES.
The design that I have in speaking
in general terms to this measure, in
voicing my opposition to the rates that
are in this measure prescribed under
certain captions. is that ultimately we
may do that which is best for all the
people of the nation. and that behind the
line of trenches which will be ours in
the future. we may have a contented
people a people not irritated by any
sense Of injustice or inequality in taxa
tion. and that finally we may not only
conscript the blood of this nation but
we may conscript the part of the wealth
of this nation that is coined out of its
blood"

THE FOREIGN VOTE.

One of the problems before this country, and one Of the problems be- fore Canada, is the problem of cur tailing to a material degree the priw- leges of the foreign citizenship. Can ada has jus. passed through one of the most serious crises of It's career. Conscription was necessary. The is- sue was suf1mitted to tho voters.
 The English speaking sections of Canada voted sondly for the con scription that the Dominion may con tiaue to be represented on the fight 'ng line in the strength it has shown there up 70 the presem time"

ARE THEY JELLY FIsH2

There is nothing stronger than hu man sentiment. Since the time the frs; fixed law was written. seuu ment has been unyieldlng before il Law is law, but sentiment Is stronger still and when these two run amuck, it Is public sentiment tha, wins.
 The war has worked some wondrous proofs of this fact
 In Arkansas. as in almost all olher states of this country, there Is a law against boxing contests. The law was written into the statute Books by demagogic periforgers on inst tigation of dough faced long g-haired moralists or women who neglect their own af- fairs 10 attend the affairs of others.
 The law is stin on the books, yet boxing is today the most popular sport in Arkansas, and If the state of ficers attempted to enforce the state law against ii, the chances are that the Camp Pike officials. as represent atives of the government, would take the sport under their own control.
 There is a law against the sale of cigarettes in Arkansas.
 Yet if that law were enforced. there would foe no Camp Pike in Ark ansas. If the soldier boys gathered at Camp Pike were to be deprived of their cigarettes through this state law the government would furnish the supply over the state law, or remove the cantonment.
 Yet the law stands against The sale of cigarettes.
 The next question Is whether the next legislative assembly will have the courage to wipe out these daily violated laws, Or whether they will Dc made up of the human jelly fish va riety, afraid to act according to the dictates of any man capable of sitting in the state general assembly?
 The people will continue to rule regardless of the written law. and when the analysis of the situation is made. 1t is the political demagogue who Is going to be proved up as tho goat of the situation.
