DEMOCRATS WILL GET
TOGETHER AND WIN.

Maryland Is unqueStionabIy Il
Democratic State. and no one
whose opinion is worthy Of con
Sideration will dispute this state
ment. Therefore whenever the
Democratic party is united il
elects its candidates. Whenever
il is divided il barely pulls
through or lis candidates are de-
feated
Maryland is not alone in this
condition Of affairs. We well
remember when Robert +. Patti
son was elected Democratic Gov
cnoi Of Pennsylvania because
the Republican party Of that
State was split wide open and
the factions were after killing
of each other regardless Of the
election OF Governor.
The same condition has pre-
vailed in Maryland when Hon.
Lloyd LoWndes was elected and
when Hon. Phillip Lee Colds
borough was elected. 1t was the
anti-Gorman crusade that elect
ed LowndeS and ii was the Blair
Lee-Gorman fight that defeated
young German for the Cover
norShip.
Just because the Democrats
were badly split in the late Balti-
more City election and a kepub-
lican Mayor was elected in spite
of the Democrats having an afiil-
lated majority on the books of
about thirty thousand. the Re-
publicanS are counting on the
Democratic split to continue.
We believe the Democrats will
get together and elect the State
ticket. They have had plenty of
warning, and it usually takes a
good licking to bring about an
overwhelming victory for the
Democracy at the next election.
II seems that all the factions
have paid their debts. They are
about even now. and il is time
to stop their foolishneSS and get
down to the business of electing
a Democratic Governor.
Word reaches us from Ealti-
more that this will he done. that
there will he party conte ence
which will settle the differences
OF party leaders and which will
result in State and county candi-
dates being placed in the field
which will receive the support of
every party man and the good
thinking citizens of Maryland
who know that government in
county and State by the Demo-
Gratis is better than government
by the Republicans.

81 RPRISING. BIT TRUE.
Philip Gibbs. the English
newspaper correspondent who
recently made a visit to this
country. has. since his return
home. been giving his impress
>ions of America in a series OF
lectures. and some very inter
estings things he had to say OF
Us. II is not surprising TO find
that he was aStoniShed on his
arrival here 10y the eXtraordi-
nary and passionate hostility to-
ward President Wilson which
was displayed 10y the Republican
party In New York. he said, il
was so violent that husbands
quarreled with wives, sisters
with brothers and friends with
friends over the personality and
policy of the President.
A good many other persons
have also been surprised by this
burst of G.. O. p. bitterness. but.
being native to the soil. they
know better how to account for
it. 1t could hardly have been
known to the English visitor. no
matter how extensive and varied
his reading. that the Lord Al
mighty had selected the Republic
can party to rule the United
States and to enjoy all the privi-
legeS. emolumentS, honorS. Salar-
les, offices. contracts, perqulSltes
and graft that 90 with the pos
session of power. and that to
separate this party from the
fleShpotS. especially for the pro
tl.acted period of eight years, is
an offenSe against religion. NOR
atty and common decency that
can never be condoned. There
fore il is that not only in New
York. but in Philadelphia. BoS-
ton and other seats OF the
mighty, Republican wives belate
Democratic husbands. Democra-
tic brothers are compelled to
chide erl'ing Republican sisters.
and old friends almost come to
blows. 1t is Just G.. @. =. intoler-
ance and long-SuppreSsed ami
mostly boiling over with rage
because Democratic Admin
iStration has conducted the most
successful war in the history OF
the United States, and because a
Democratic President has shown
himself the most vigorous, in
tereSting and forceful person
ality the country has known
since Washington and Lincoln.
Nh Gibbs could not know that
such high distinctions are re-
served only for Republicans, and
that it is a serious crime for a
Democrat even to dream OF such
honors
Still the EngliShman glasped
some fundamental truths cor
rectIy. He found. he said in his
lecture. that President Wilson
had the support of the great
masses of the people, who be
lieved he was really the greatest
idealiSt in the world and the
champion OF the worlds de
mocracieS who believed. too,
that his policy of League OF
Nations. which had been weak
ened by English imperialism and
French militaliSm. was the only
policy which would safeguard
the worlds peace.
The accuracy Of this observa-
ton shows that in peace no less
than in war Mr.. Gibbs knows
how TO separate the essential
from the non-esSential. The
sentiment OF the American peo-
pie is not to be gagged by the
rawlings of lot of blatherskite

DOE LAKE COUNTY HAVE TO PAY THE MA
TIONAL DERT7

Just how deputy assessors in Lake county arrived at
their conclusions in valuation figures for industries and
the assessment of real estate is a mystery for which
there is no promised solution. Whatever basis at least,
they used cannot be determined by the layman. How
some Of them are qualified to know the value of real
estate and the true cash value OF an immense industry,
such as there are many Of in Lake county. is worse than
any Of Sam Loyd's puzzles.
For instance. here is a big manufacturing plant EN-.
ploying a thousand men, capitalized at 100000. With
practically no knowledge of industrial values, raw prod
uct, machinery, output, overhead. market conditions,
stock fluctuations, the laws of supply and demand. and 4
score of other industrial ramihcations, how is a man,
whose business experience has been practically nil,
qualified to pass judgment upon the cash value OF that
plant? What is a matter of a few million dollars to him:
Absolutely nothing but guess work. A row of ciphers
means nothing to his young life.
Then again. If a deputy assessor is supposed 70 ques.
ton the man he is assessing as 10 the value OF a FIVE
year old automobile or a second hand piano in that mans
house. Why doesn't he inquire OF him the true cash
value of his house and lot. When he assesses at $I2.
600 a piece of property for which the owner will take
less than half as much cash?
Down in vanderburg county. where Evansville is
located. Pigeon township manufacturers and business
men held an INDICATION mas meeting on Monday because
the township valuation had been increased from s46,
100000 to s90,o0o,oo0. The increase was called out
rageous and the assessments will be taken into court
and fought until the last bitter end. That increase was
less than twice as much as the last assessment If
vanderburg county was justified in making a public re-
monstrance over that increase, what sort of a remon-
STRANGE would North and Calumet townships. in Lake
county, be justified in making?
We are not able to find out where the new Indiana
tax law is intended to be regarded as an impenal edict or
manifesto and we do not believe that the Lake County
Board Of Review will regard it as such. We believe
they will give the industries OF this county a respectful
hearing. We are inclined 10 think that they will be in.
clined to accept the afhdsvits of owners of realty and
heads of industries as TO real true cash values. We Ger.
tainly see no reason why the whole national debt should
be saddled on the good people of this county.

WAR SURGERY.

The medical and surgical history of the war was
marvellous. of course. But according to DR. Joseph Blake,
who had charge of one OF the base hospitals during the
entire war. the most amazing thing that surgeons did
was 10 open the chest where necessary and perform OPP
srations on the heart and lungs.
This was done successfully. not once but many times,
md marked a milestone in surgery, for such operations
had been extraordinarily difficult and almost invariably
fatal. There are many men comparatively sound today
whose lungs have been under the surgeons knife, for
the removal of shrapnel and the sewing up Of decorations.
Another advance made was IN the treatment Of frac-
lures, which were not placed in casts and held rigid. but
were suspended in specially devised apparatus, permit
ting the patient to move, keeping joints timber and doing
away with the stiffness which often used to follow frac-
ture, as well as obviating any danger of whitening or
shortening the fractured member.
1t must have taken courage for the surgeon to pioneer
as well as for the soldier to bear his pain. but out Of their
suffering and heroism has come knowledge which will
benefit mankind for all time to come.

AMERICAN HOUSE.

Cincinnati. prominent in Americanization and vel
fare work. has established American House" as one of
its latest undertakings.
American House is located in a thickly settled part
of the city, in what was at one time a saloon OF the type
which is always an eyesore and a public menace.
Financed partly by public and partly by private
funds, it offers all the advantages of the usual community
house. Its furnishing has been the work of the various
women's organizations of the city, both native and foreign
borI, so that it may have a touch of home TO persons OF
whatever nationality; and there they come by the dozen
to learn the things which puzzle them so sorely in this
strange new land.
Persons interested in the project and in sympathy
with its high ideals are on the staff of the house. and
medical care, legal advice. lessons in English. all are
given free of charge whenever necessary. Those who
want employment are helped to secure it. Girls and
women are provided with escorts to unfamiliar portions
of the city and given the protection they need until they
have become acquainted and established.
They call it the halfway house to the schools. in
Cincinnati. Surely every community would fare better
II il made such wholesome and friendly provision for its
aliens.

RUIN OF GIRLS.

In looking over some reports Of an officer dealing
with venereal diseases we were surprised TO find that a
large majority Of the cases were Of girls and women
Another serious fact that presented itself was that most
of the cases. were those Of syphilis And then to think
that this is only a little glimpse of the situation. Then,
as to the girls. it was reported that they were mostly
walters, domestics, vendors of food, typewriters, etc;
young girls. most of them, who work a little and then float
around listlessly the rest of the time. 1t is a terrible dis
grace for a community to permit so many of its young
women TO be thus ruined. Our moral upift clubs do not
seem 10 get the right hold of them. There seem to be
only two means of service and protection. They are the
individual and the law. Good women, make it your pur
pose to save at least one innocent girl a year. And. good
policeman, please take a friendly interest in the young
girls that fit about the streets at night. Treat them as
YOU would have someone treat your own daughter.

OLD AND NEW.

We have just seen the most wondrous feat accom-.
plished by the most modern bit OF mechanism in the air
flight across the sea.
1t is interesting by way of contrast, to hear from Red
Cross workers in Macedonia that the method OF transpor-
tation found most practical for their supplies in that
country is the primitive cart drawn by a team OF oxen.
The Macedonian country is wild and mountainous, its
villages are far apart. and hunger and cold stalk I'm
checked save as the Red Cross unit arrives with its sup
plies.
Automobiles are of little use. They cannot travel the
awful roads. Airplanes are impractical. But the oxen,
ploddins stolidly though slowly, do arrive after a while
It is entirely probable that the arship dropping down
from the blue before the admiring gaze of the people Of
Lisbon was no more marvellous or welcome than are the
ox-carts to the Macedonian refugees; for though the con
veyance itself may be of a familiar type, its present mis-
sion of mercy is something new in that farof land.

SENATOR REED SPEAKS our IN MEETING.

Senator Reed of Missouri. is noted for his frank
ness. He has a habit of saying what he thinks on any
public subject, and as a result be is not regarded as a
hidebound party man although he considers himself a
good Democrat Lately he has been speaking out loud
his sentiments concerning the League of Nations, which
same sentiments many of his colleagues, while holding,
fear to enunciate.
And he has no hesitancy, either, in saying boldly
that the United States at the peace conference has been
outmaneuvered and outgeneraled by the trained diplo
mats of Europe. He has even gone so far as to refer
TO our representatives in the conference as amateurs.
