\ condition that brings no credit 10 the community
Is shown in the county board Of correction and char
tiles report which inspected the Lake county poor farm.
It found a modern. w~eltkept place, bur for the insane
and tubercular patients no attendance is provided.
Neither do the consumptives got any special diet.
II is of the tubercular patients that We desire to
speak. People suffering from this disease need not only
attendance. but selected foods. Unless they get these
things as well as sunlight and fresh air they have no
chance for recovery. OF sunlight and fresh air We give
them, but care and hfe-giving lung-healing food We do
not.
There is no excuse for this condition of affairs. Be
cause these patients are poor is no reason why they
should be sentenced to q lingering death. This is the
second Wealthiest county in Indiana. This county has
spent millions on other improvements. On Stag and
stone roads, Yet it not only fails to provide a tuberculo-
sis hospital but even to give tubercular patients the
necessities that mean life to them.
Our government has asked that all unnecessary
public improvements be done away with. It has asked
thar those essentials TO The success of the country he
carried out. y tuberculosis sanitarium is an adjunct to
national success. Had we had it perhaps fewer Lake
county boys would have been rejected from the army:
not so many would have been sent home from the train.
Ing camps And 10 further emphasize how The govern
nent is concerned over public health there is it's recent
statement that the draft examinations revealed a had
state OF affairs. The government 10 correct this has
launched a nationwide campaign to better the health Of
child life and it is significant that a member of Presi-.
dent Wilson's cabinet has directed that the work start
right here in Lake county.
Two things must be done. TubercuIar pstien+s .,
the county farm must receive the care and food human.
iy demands they should get. The county government
and the County Medical society, which should be con
cerned with this thing must act. Next. there shou1d no
no time lost in providing for a tuberculosis sanitarjum
And it would seem that the best way TO get such 3
sanitarium is NOT TO vote for any candidate for the
nomination Of county commissioner in the primaries
unless be first pledges himself to help get the sani.
tarum.

sTAssrNe Our BOYS IN The BACK.

The Socialists Of Milwaukee have drafted and an
nounced their platform for the municipal election. II
should make them hang their heads in shame. Witness
for example, the following from the Milwaukee pro
nounciamento:
The American people did not want ard do
not want this war. They were played into this
abyss by the treachery Of the ruling class OF the
eountry-its demogogic sgttators, its bought
press, its sensational photoplays, its lying ad-
vertisements. and other Purchaseable instru-
raents of public EXPRESSION
II ever language breathed with treason and seditiOn
Il Is the above. The Benedict Arnolds who drew it up
and are exploiting it should be strung from the lamp
posts of Milwaukee. If Socialism over the country takes
the same view of these Milwaukee traitors who have
out-bolsheviked the l. W. w. and bolsheviki then social
ism is a worse menace TO this country than the kaiser
and his hordes ever could be.
We have sent hundreds Of thousands OF American
boys to Europe to fight for the freedom of the world
and vet these dastardly Milwaukee scialists are stab
bling them in the back. The living charges that the press
of this country was bought TO bring on this war is a
dirty cheap demogogic lie worthy Of these Wisconsin
skunks who are helping the kaiser to win the war
These Milwaukee socialists-and We can smell the
lection of the American flag. The United States is in
they are seeking to inject into municipal politics in
government and the people at the head Of it tolerate
such stuff?
Are we TO permit the best blood in the world THAI
is being shed in France to be spilled for such cattle?
The Milwaukee socialists ought TO be dealt with in a
hurry. They ought TO at least be slapped into the
bastile until they come to their senses.

THE FARMER AS A LENDER.

One Of the reasons why the farmer in The middle
west has hesitated somewhat in purchasing Govern.
ment war bonds is because he has never been IN the
habit Of lending MONEY. Lending is a new sensation
to him, for he always has been a borrower. lie was a
pioneer. driven into the more fertile west by economic
pressure farther cast frequently as far east as Europe.
He came to the Mississippi valley with but little more
than his bread and willing hands and his nerve. The
land was cheap and rich and he settled here. and. as
MS needs grew, he occasionally borrowed money from
his local banker or a more prosperous neighbor. mort
gaging his place.
The memory of that mortgage and the notes that
kept falling due for years before he caught up with him
self and paid it off, stn Iinger with him and he is slow
% realize now that he is in a position 10 lend money.
not only to his neighbor. but 70 a man 5000 miles across
the ocean. The time has come. however. when this
nation and its citzens-rural and urban-are no longer
borrowers. but lenders.
There was a time before the Civil War when Amer
