P
CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS.
Thf death of Charles Warren Fairbanks, Indiana's
honored son, whoso name in ptate history will niche with
Morton. Hendricks, Harrison and Turpie, keenly touches
the Hoosier heart. Horn in a lop cahin. nurtured in pov
erty, he climbed To a place where a presidency was
within his grasp. Senator, vice president before that,
Mr. Fairbanks won honors that few men ever attain.
His was the royal purple of democracy and Indiana truly
mourns her distinguished son. Indeed,- were th country
not in the toils of war the dea'h of this great Indianian
would be a national event of more than passing impor
tance for many days.
Charles Y. Fairbanks was a warm friend of Lae
county and of many Lake county men. He admired the
indomitable energy of Lake county and sensed its politi
cal and economic future much that he invested in
the region- He was always glad to come to Lake coun
ty, and one of the greatest gatherings in the county
was witnessed when he came to Hammond and laid the
corner stone of the Masonic temple.
Though Mr. Fairbanks went through the white fire
of many a blasting political campaign, no one was eTer
able to cast a single aspersion on his fair name. They
called him Buttermilk Charley did his political opponent?,
and that was all they could say. His career was clean
as a hound's tooth. Classed as a man devoid of emo
tion and sentiment, he was on the contrary a of
deepest, kindest feeling, of delightful personality. The
writer, sitting next to Mr. Fairbanks as a delegate
through the stormy scenes and fiery political trials of
that great national convention that turned down Theo
dore Roosevelt and nominated William Howard Taft,
came to know the bigness of the Fairbanks' heart. He
deplored the pcenes of passion and anger, the tumult
and the storm in his gentle, deprecatory manner and it
seemed as if the great politician, though seated in the
midet of the strife, was viewing it from an unbiased
vantage point a thousand miles away. The future of
the republican party seemed of more moment to him
than the importance of a passing ptandard bearer.
The forbears of Charles Warren Fairbanks, whose
Cromwellian ancestry is not generally known, came to
America in 16" and through the centuries the strain
of the Fairbanks blood has been loyally American to i's
tiniest corpuscle.. He was one of the greatest living
Americans. He was ruggedly honest in everything and
was perhaps the greatest fighter for sound money the
country ever had. Only a little twist of fate kept him
out of he presidency and it was America's loss, not his,
that he never was president. Our children's children
will read in their histories of Fairbanks' worth and great
ness. His name and fame will never be separated from
undyinx honor as the pcroll of years is rolled up, for Indt
ana has given another splendid son to the nation, another
example of Hoosier greatness to th world.
f NEED THRIFT AFTER THE WAR.
Are the people of this nation seriously on the road
to permanent, intelligent thrift?
Recent satitics show that we are rapidly learning
thrift, and that, not withstand. our lung record of im
providence, we are displaying a remarkable erononric
improvement. We are becoming a leader in thrift where
hitherto we were a sorry follower.
There has been an indicaed increase of popular
thrift within the lat year which might be computed at
"rMi per rent. This figure which, of course, js merely ap
proximate, is 1 :- 1 on th" popular support of the Liberty
Loan.
The number of subscriptions to the Third Liberty
Lorn was far in excess r.f three time the number that
were given to the first loan floated a t ar aso.
In add.Mon to the Liberty Loan subsoripMons v. e
have the millions of buyi-rs of thrift stamps and war
savings certincaes. many of whom never have saved
money before- This is more than enough possibly to off
set numerically the number of Liberty bond subscribers
whose subscriptions do not imply the influence of newly
developed ihrift.
In addition one might go into the voluntary elimina
tion of waste In food, rloihing and material? of a hun
dred varieties, all of which reflect the rapid upward trend
of thrift tendencies in America.
We are amazing the world with our wholehearted
thrift. o one can accuse us of being money slackers,
and one can with safety assume that r.s long as the war
lasis wi will do our share in regard to thrift.
The question is, will our thrift continue after the
war'.'
This cannot be lightly answered. First of all educa
tional force in American should begin at once the most
vigorous possible campaign for a ! t er t lu -wa r thrift.
For whether or nut Am-'tiea will stay thrifty is en
tirely a tnattf-r of education. b cause in times of peace
time practice of thrift will again become voluntary.
We will come ln'o a period t.f acute readjust men'
.lust as soon as ihe war is over. Val-.ies will shrink from
their pies, nt point, of inflation and nulMons of men wili
return to cjvi! life who will need employment Counties;
industries thai now are thriving as a result of the war,
will be put out of business and their emploves thrown
ou' of w oi k
It must be kept in mind also that t h- i will be con
tinued need for thrift because of the ast amount of war
losses. The bills will have to be paid by the puhlic and
this load will preclude the possibility of waste and ex
travagance on the part of anybody.
We must begin to prepare for these crises now.
through education.
The extent, therefore, to which we ap' willing to
make thrift a matter of intelligent .-m!y, w ill d -'ermine
how far we shall go with this sturdy viitue .f'er the
w ar.

POSING AS PATRIOTS.
The fullowing press telegram is iilu.-t rative of a
course of conduct that is becoming all too prevalent in
this country:
DKXVF1R. Colo.. May Cil Kdwin A. Biown.
Denver sociologist and reje.tted to he a million
aire, author of stories of n:-n who ,,re down and
ou'." as a measure of wartiui" economy, has an
nounced that he will wear only sui's of blue jeans
until the war ends. He already has appeared in
his new $arb at two Sunday services of the First
Presbyterian church, one of the most fashionable
in Denver.
Mr. Brown's firs' appearance at church caus
ed more than ordinary a'tenf ion to his clean and
neatiy ironed "w ar suit." It drfw 'almost as much
attention as the seinion, his fellow pari.-hon-ers
said.
Mr. Brawn says he has made the change
from the conventional flothes of a man of his
position to be "square with his conscience."
"It was one way 1 found of purchasing a Lib
erty bond. I felt that the boys in the trenches
give no thought to what t hey wear or eat and
that I could do' likewise and use the difference
in the cost of my clothing in buying bonds,"
Mr. Brown is neither a patriot nor a conservationist.
He is merely a poser and a pretender-a hunter of news
paper comment and cheap notoriety.
Unhappily he is representative of a class in Amer
ican society that needs curbing almost as much as do
positive disloyalists. The people of this class, while no
doubt loyal enough, bring loyalty into the opra bouffe
status by the absurd and ridiculous manner in which they
parade- it. They capitalize it to make themselves con
spicuous and their whole thought in the matter seems
to be to boost themselves rather than their country's
cause.
Take the case of this man Brown for instance. A
millionaire who dons blue jeans and goes ambling off to
church on a bright Sunday morning naturally causes eyes
to pop out and tongues to huzz, but what earthly pond
does he accomplish? It is absurd to say 'hat he "con
serves clothing," for we know well enough that he does
nothing of the sort. There isn't an American in com
fortable circumstances in this whole country who couldn't
live for the next two or three years and appear decently
clad, without buying a single suit. Millionaire Brown, of
course, has several suits and he would have gone on wear
ing his present supply until the end of the war wjthou'
anyone being the wiser. But that didn't suit the gentle
man. He 'wanted at'ention and he craved the applause
of the unthinking, unreasonable mob. So he spent for
clothes money he did not need to spend and did so ?n
order that he might appear to be saving. He wasted
while posing as a conservationist.
If there is any spectacle in this day that is supremely
disgusting it is' the fake Tatriot nn rarade the pa'riot
of whom Brown of Denver is so thoroughly exponential.

MUST DEPEND ON WAR SAVINGS-
Harrison B. Ttiley, Federal Director for the district,
which includes Indiana, is urging Indiana 'o do in the
War Savings campaign what it has so gloriously don
in all the war work and drives of the pa.-'.
Mr. Riley declared that the money from the Third
Liberty Loan and federal income tax, paabl in June,
has already been. spent and that until the next Libertv
Loan the government has no other availahle revenue
'ban War Savings and short-term certificates carried
throuch the banks. The present expenses of the gov
ernment must be met by continual cent ribu ions In- the
public.
"It is not a biz task if we go at right." he paid.
Indiana must support this pledge campaign. If it is
well done no citizen should be absolved from saving
a certain amount each week, and investing it in War
Savings. The government is willing to rely upon the
pledge of every citizen 'o pay the amount for which
he pledges himself."
"The obligation placed upon every one in times of
war is the great obligation every man anad woman owes,
except the obfigation they owe t0 their Gnd. There is
not a man, woman or child above eight years who cannot
pledge something each week to his government. Tlie
order which is given them to do this is as binding on
their conscience as is the order to the soldier in Ihe
trenches. "'
