George Ad* wrote the introduction to his first book, and If the earn* line of reasoning were used th it was applied to "the Young VisRiirs," Mr. Ade would be accused of writing the real of the Wad* novel, an accusation that would be unjust to both.

The transformation of Cuba in the time of Wood's governorship is spoken of by the biographer a* an .almost unbelievable miracle, although G«nera!

It would indeed be unbelievable that one man could do all that was don* for Cuba in that short period, and the real essence of th* story is that It was the work of many men whom General Wood had th*. wisdom to utilise and th* tact and leadership to co-ordinate

We have not changed our views +n regard to this legislation and. therefore. do not indorse the law; however, as American citizens, we feel that in th* interest of railroad labor there 1* nothing left for us to do at present except to co-operate in the prompt creation of the machinery provided

It I* the duty of all to do everything possible to make the law a success, which we believe it will be if fairly administered and loyally supported. The temper of the workers, and their present attitude are all that could be asked. No reasonable man could have expected them to change their views simply because of the action of congress. It is enough If they accept the law as a fact, and co-operate hon-
estly in applying it.

opposition to himjtelf.
of leadership of great importance
The successful executive.must seek and duly consider the opinions of his subordinates, and of men who are experts on t|ie subjects under discussion. Then and then only should he begin forming his own conclusions. This is th* judicial method; the truly democratic on*. It is the method necessarily used .by the physician diagnosing a domptfeated case of physical ills; a method which can b# applied quite a* successfully to a diagnosis of public affairs. The best example of this sort of leadership is, of course, Abraham Lincoln, who was great enough to aelect and hold together a group of then who could furnish him with th* soundest advice on all public questions, although several of them, like Secretary of War Stanton and Commander-in-Chiet McClellan. were personally hostile to hlm,^ and felt for him. in the beginning at least, neither admiration nor confi-
dence.
This is indeed the "truly democratic" method. It is the method which the testimony of those best acquainted with General Wood’s work show* he has followed, and it is th* basis of the results accomplished.
For sentimental reasons, if for no other, the people of Irvington can not afford to fail in their effort to provide sufficient money to make a community building possible in that part of Indianapolis. The park board planned to carry forward the community building idea this yeac in so far as it bad the money to do so. Irvington said that if the elty would pay a certain portion of the expense of a building to be located in Ellenberger park, tbe Irvington people would pay the rest. . The offer was
accepted.
Irvington ia expected to raise $30,000. About $20,000 has been pledged. Wheq the campaign was started several weeks ago enthusiasm was shewn, but interest -lagged. Now it has been aroused again and those in charge are confident the money will be subscribed this week. In former days Irvington was a town with its own government. Afterward it was annexed to Indianapolis, but this did not lessen the Irvington spirit, and there is a neighborhood loyalty that probably is not excelled elsewhere in the city. The community building will be something more than a house in which meetings may be held. It is to be a monument. erected In honor of the young men of Irvington who participated in the world war, and especially those who gavo their lives.
Washington has assured the British government that the appointment of Sir Aukland Gedd&s as British ambassador to the United States would be pleasing to President Wilson, and the announcement of the pppointmenf has followed. Geddes has been president of the Board of Trade since May. 1X19. Me holds the military title of brigradier-generah on the unattached list. He was born in Scotland In 18?9, was educated as a phyVician. and served as professor of anatomy^ in English, Irish and Canadian universities. At on* time he was principal of McGill University, Canada. In the South African war Geddes served as a lieutenant of light infantry. After taking an active part tn the world war. he became director of recruiting for the war office, and then minister of national service. Last year he wa* made minister of reconstruction. He married Isabella Gamble, third daughter of W. A. Ross, of New York.
There is no doubt that Thomas. Taggart will be the Democratic candidal* for the United States senatorship. Mr. Taggart has great political strength, aqd is probably the most popular man in his party in Indiana. During his brief career as senator he showed, as The News was glad to point out, that he appreciated the responsibilities attaching to the position. Mr. Taggart is also a man of genial aoub and one of the most successful friend-makers known to Indiana politics. The $400,000,000 needed tor the interchurch educationU.1 work would almost pay the nation’s cigarette bill for a few months.

ANOTHER CANNING SEASON The reading public has become familiar with the canned editorial, for use during political campaigns, and now the listening public must accustom its ears to the canned political speech. Announcement was made the other day that Senator Warren G. Harding and Attorney-General A. Mitchell Palmer, , Republican and Democratic aspirant* for presidential nominations, would make short addresses at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon in Columbus, lad. People were somewhat surprised that these two men would appear at the same meeting in a comparatively small city. The
skeptical who investigated learned be supported by that their voices would be reproduced. | The whole question of paternalism The canned speech was heard toh* wrapped up in this free seed graft.
FREE REEDS
Th* senate agriculture committee, acting on the recommendation of the new secretary of agriculture, yesterday struck from the agricultural bill the appropriation of $840,000 voted by the house for the distribution of free seeds. The victory is by no means won, since the interest of representatives in this appropriation is much keener than that of senators. It is probable, however, that the advice of th* secretary of agriculture had weight, since he has, been closely associated with the farmers, and must be presumed to be acquainted with
their ytews.
The amount involved is, of course, smail, but the principle is important. Never was it moro necessary than it is now to educate the people out of the belief that th*lr government is a sort of Santa Claus. The government can in truth give gway nothing except what belongs to some one else, something that it has, in one way or another, taken from the people. Everything that it has eomes from the people. It is not a moneymaking, but a money-losing enterprise- It is the duty of the people to support-tt, and not their right to

Chicago detectives say they have caught a man trying to hide a complete list of the I. W. W. in the United States, but maybe he was only on his way to Milwaukee with a few signatures to help Vic Berger’s can-

Artists, Lovers Despair
PARIS, March 8.—World famous Moulin, Redet, one of tb6 two remaining windmills, which for centuries have crowned the Mont Martre. Is to be removed to make room for the construction of new houses. As this will innevitably ruin the picturesque spot from the artist’s point of view, the painters are in despair, and lovers of old Paris ar* endeavoring to get th* authorities to consent to the mill being moved to another site, instead of being pulled down. In the seventeenth century the hillside and top of Mont Martre were covered with windmills. The number Anally dwindled to two. the Moulin de la Galette and the Moulin Radet. For many generations, artists of all countries have'sought out the Mont Martre for the purpose of reproducing these mills on canvas. The district was a favorite one with American tourists and artists.

Dr. Bicrrtag Mention* Chicago As Center of Educational World. CHICAGO. March 3.—America, with Chicago as its center, is destined to become the mecca, of advanced medical education of the world. Dr. Walter L Bierring, of Iowa, secretary of the Federation of Htate Medical Boards, declared before the congress of medical education. Dr. Bierring, who recently completed a study of medical education in London and Paris, said his conclusions were that in the future Europeans would have more to learn from America than Americans from the schools of Europe. Dr. Bierring’s views were supported in a report presented by Dr. Louis B. Wilson, director of the Mayo foundation for medical research. Dr. Wilson said that of forty-four leading physicians and surgeons who had taken graduate work abroad, fewerthan ten recommended foreign training for medical students today. DAMAGE SUITS SETTLED.

Elephant tusk jelly ia highly recommended. In English factories, where many tons of tusks are sawn up annually, for knife handles and other uses, great quantities of Ivory dust accumulate.

What is unofficially considered to be the meanest type of crime in England In the last five years is the “cook grabber." It is a crime from which men have held aloof. The crime consists of luring a cook away from one’s neighbor. So great has befcn the shortage of cooks that desperate housewives have resorted to quietly engaging their neighbors' cooks in conversation at the kitchen doorway and promising higher wages and better hours. In any gathering of women the consensus of opinion is that a cook In the kitchen Is worth a hun-
dred anywhere else.
Dr. Max Nordau told the English Zionist Federation tn Londort the other day that tn the world' war the Jews had furnished 000,000 soldiers to the various armies. This, he said, was About 7 per cent, of the whole number of Jews, a proportion equaled by few and surpassed only, h* believed. by the French. The Jew had lost 80.000 dead and had about $00.* 000 casualties. But what had ths Jews fought for? Even In the advanced and highly civilised countries of the west.* he continues, a hug* wave of anti-Semitism was .welling up; in the new countries that had arisen In the east the most criminal passions were let loon* against the Jews, he said. In this dirk picture there was one bright Spot, the British deelaration in favor of a Jewish National Home In Palestine.
