Kberhalt, ol t i t .Mishawaka, vest erday, on wo- m !s of the- various local .sensaticns of the past few day s, may j r may not haw I . n due to a peculiar P t a i li i) -c a t rnosphe re, hut it would be i n i t as diHirtiU to prove that it wasn't as it would he to prove that it was. 1'iom ejm ral appearances one would say that Mr. Ko-rhart had tin lea-'t of any man in the world to drive him to suicide. Quite assuredly he was blessed with swtlieh nt of thi.s world's snoods to cart- for him to a ripe old ac, and in plenty of comfort. He was highly respected in the community. He was happy with his family. His business was prosperou.-. He has been tho benefactor of a lare ii:iiii1mt of people, and in a philanthropic way, established a name that will live lon amont,' the records of such service. He grieved over the Ps: of his son, upon whn.-f rave- he laid down to die. hut why this rief, if it was this Krief. should have led to suicide just at this particular time, is a (picry that we have to ho am were d by wiser or more speculative minds. The mii-ide problem never has hern, and perhaps, never will he solved, save that it is the product of a peculiar mental condition, with quite a many produt tive sources as there are eases. You can call it an insane undertaking, if j mi like, er count it tlie outcome of a "life not worth the liu'ht" delusion. Heath notes left hehind, as a rule, throw very little liht on the subject. In general, they are e-;uses rather than reasons, anil the problem of exactly why they did it; why on the particular occasions, they should have heen driven to such extremes, or resorted to such alternates, continues quite as mysteriously veiled as though no word had been left whatever. Mishawaka and South l'.end will mourn the passing of Mr. Kberhart, ami smpathy for his family will he in a way enhanced because of the suddenness of it. He will he remembered for his ood worki longer than will his method of relieving himself of the strain. He ha.s been one of that type of men that makes communities prow and the more lit to live in. As before stated, there arc several monuments, to Ins industry and to his goodness. He lived a life worth while, but it being quite time to frown, at least for psychological effect, upon such methods of demise as he employed, it is perhaps as well not to push the issue too hard. It may be that a popular sense that self-destruction must carry with it a like disgrace to that imposed for taking the life of another, would have a salutary effect and tend to minimize these quick-action additions to the mortuary records, and, r a step toward popularizing that sen.se. we can do no hss than let Mr. Mberhart's last act stand as the biggest mistake of his life, and condemn it as an example, in spite of his previous achies ements. LYNCHING I.l.O CRANK. Georgia, imle ed. is e xhibiting her! civilization in masterful style. It must be a great state inhabited by a great people The manner in which Eeo Frank has been disposed of is distim-t-ly to the point. Possibly he would have been saf. r at the penitentiary had it not been made such a vacation lor him. but that he was kidnaped and lynched, is of more vital import ance than the mere question of prison! lii-cipline. Eepi'isals from throughout the states of the nation is sugg'stcd as a punishment. Argument is put forward that Georgia should be boycotted by elecent people, but the answer is that what Ge-orgia nools is not reprisals hut missionaries. To quote from a statement by Lewis ?dltehell. who sought a ne-vv trial for Frank in the Tinted States supreme court, given out at Albany, N. Y. He says: The lynching of Leo M. Frank is the rect ude sconce of savagery and brutal lawlessness and a slain upon our fair country. It is an im 'Tact able blot upon the name uf Georgia, and it seems incredible to me that in any e ivilized eommuniiy couh! be posM! dt such a Hung Frank's ad fate may direct the y.s world toward conditions f the cry to heave n for telief. h d ia-en.-trales that he- was. convicted by a mob and not by elao process of law. Frank is no long r en trial. Hi fact, he never hail a trial, but Geergia is now on trial in tlu forum of civilization.

"While a lot of American people and, itideed, some local people are wont to insist that our tratfie in munitions is wrong if for no other reason than the notoriety of insisting, there is at least one phase of the .situation, favorable to the traffic, that no one of any considerable sense is likely to condemn. Whether the wholesale manufacture and export of arms and ammunition is right or wrong, whether it's going io he economically good or bad for us in the long run, the sudden development of this industry has provided the United states with the best form of insurance against foreign peril. An inquiry from tho government regarding the status of private munition factories, has brought the replythat they have already multiplied their capacity 1,000 per cent, that their output is steadily increasing and that they will he prepared at any time to place their plants at the disposal of the government. In ammunition, at least, it will be easy for the army and navy to obtain what additional supplies they need for any emergency, with little delay. It is the .same with regard to rilles, machine guns, eU The manufacture of held guns is a slower process, and our need of them to round out a proper artillery equipment for a good-sized army is very great. Still, we are immensely better prepared to produce it than ever before. Thus the most vital part of our ! orooiem oi military nreoareuness 13 taken care of almost by accident. There remains, of course, the big problem of creating an army organization capable of easy and rapid expansion to a million or more, through the incorporation of trained militiamen and fresh volunteers. Hut given the system and the requisite officers, it is easy enough to raise the men, and doesn't take long to train them. That has been demonstrated in every warring country of Europe, and Americans can be whippoii into shape quicker than any others. The hardest task of all is to supply the army with weapons ami ammunition. Kngland, after a year's work, is .still unable to do that. Russia has lost (lalicia and Poland because she lacked munition factories. It is ratifying to know that whatever comes, we shall suffer from no such handicaps. PAN'-AMERICA AND MKXIC ). American governments interested in the pacification of Mexico, with one exception. toek no notice ef an insulting message from Carranza pretesting against their sitting in judgment on his country. Argentina, however, sent a courteous reply. It said: The Argentinian government, in having a representative at that conference, has done so not only in accordance with its traditional policy of respect to other sovereignties, but also to reaffirm it in the case of a problem which, by affecting the destinies of Mexico, will equally affeet tho great American family. That statement, when you get to the kerned of it, represents precisely the spirit in which the United States and all the Latin-American republics have gone to work on the tasiv of; saving Mexico. We have no designs against Mexican government. Our justification for interfering in anyway in Mexican affairs is that the various American republics constitute one family, and that anything which tends te injure Mexico and keep her from playing her part in the life of the western hemisphere "affects equally the Gre.t American family."

We re it not for our patience to-j sound, why was it subjected to a cmward Mexico and our ahilitv to keep promise with tho domon rum even . . ' . when opcratinc: in moderation?

The sending 01 a diplomatic "note" is an elaborate eti'emonius affair, secrecy being an important feature of the proceeding. Tremendous secrecy has always been an element in the transmission of such international papers, the theory being, doubtless, that hestle interests are lying in Wait to get advance or illicit information as to their character and that mischief wouhj result from premature disclosure of the contents. Whatever might have been true at one time, the need of .such precautions hardly exists now. For e xample, had the text of the German notes been made known to the world before they were oiiicially in the hands, of our .secretary of state no great harm could have been done. There was no likelihood, howe-ver, that premature publication would have been made had the document passed through the ordinary news? channels on its way to the president. I'ress associations and newspaper editors would have withheld it until officially gixen out, just as they hold advance copies of president' messages to congress and important speeches until they have been delivered and formally released. Hut the edd forms are gone through with just the same. The German notewas sent to Ambassador Gerard written in the German language. In his office it was translated into English, then enciphered in the United States government's secret code, then disciphered to see if it conformed with the original text. The elocume-nt in code was then put on the wire and after its arrival in Washington was there deciphered and presented to the Secretary of state in English. Inevitably something must be lost in these translations and re-translations ami it would be simpler and more sensible to have the etriginal paper e abled just as it llrst stooel. The use of the code, of course, lessens telegraph tolls, but the government is not obliged to economize in such matters. However, secrecy is the tradition of the diplomatic service and its methods will probably continue. MORE COST. HI T LESS YELL. (Oshkosh Northwestern.) According to statistics asseMiiblcal by the federal government, the e-ost of living in this country is higher than ever before, showing an increase of about two per cent over even the high .vater mark that was reached in Is;.:. But it is also a notable fact that the people are not complaining so much about the high cost of living as they did a spell back, and this in spite of the fact that trade and business in many lines might be better, and that there is still a good deal d" unemployment, although in both these respects considerable improvement has recently occurred. The real explanation for this .subsidence of complaints over the high cost ef living is -probably to be found in three things, namely, a geaeral feeling of satisfaction among the people of this land that their condition is so much better than tho condition of thr people living in the warring nations of Europe; a feeling of confidence that times are steadily improv ing in this country and that the re turn of general prosperity is only a question ef a short time, and, finally, the unquestiemed fact that the people of this country ha' e learned a valuable lesson of economy and retrenchment. Through the necessity of making both ends meet, because of the high cost ef living, the people, or most of them, have cut elown here and the-re on the high living, in which they had b en indulging so freely. And not many of them are any the werse for their cconomic'al efforts which have taught them how to conquer even tho high cost of living. TiTi(i ti;i:tot.l tin:oky. (Xew York World.) Twenty-live years of experimenting with the theorv that total abstainers! from intoxicating liquors live longest have hrouht tho American -Temperance Life Insurance association into liquidation, with enmi-;h money to pav outstamlins ih'dth claims and none for tho thousand livin-r policy-hders. who will lose nil they have paid in. It should not he inferred from this that the theory was wromr. What wrecked the concern, it is explained, was a change of policy some live years aero hy which "moderate drinkers" were taken in, and they ran the de;th rate up .0 per cent. That was the bevnnnin- of an early end. Perhaps the olliccrs of the concern are satisiicd with this e-xplanation. r.ut what edher trne friends ef temperance tan ho?

L. T. HISTORICALLY speaking, it is worth while knowing that the lakes on the property to he occupied by the new South Mend Country club are the real Chain lakes. This on the authority of the biennial report of tho commissioner of lisheries and game of Indiana, Mr. Miles, just issued, which says: "The basin occupied by the remnants of these lakes is in Warren township, about tive mihs west of South Rend. The Eike Shore and Michigan Southern railway runs over a high grade and trestle at the north enel. and the Michigan division of the Three-1 passes at the southern end." The point is that the lake north of the Lake Shore, commonly known as Chain lake, is Lass lake. AND speaking of the new Country club recalls what a philosopher saitf about golf.

It is a pe'inieious- notion to think that the woman who wears herself out. body and soul, and never asks or hopes for one- hour's relief from weary care, is tho best mother. Sbmay be good-hearted, but she has poor judgment; otherwise she would manage differently and try to ke p sane and do the work which God probably created her to do. Every mother needs occasional relief from her cares. The other day I met a mother in her home moving about feebly, pale and worn to a shadow, who certainly bids fair to become anedher domestic martyr and evidently will soon succumb to fate. She told me that she had fainting spells and that the eloctor had ordered rest and quiet, but she could not leave "baby." Hut it seems that it "would be better to leave baby awhile than it would to die r go insane, and he would probably bi a great eloal better off in the hands of an older woman. Experience is of as much account in e'hild management as it is in any other kind of business and a visiting grandmother who can tell tho difference between temper and cholera infantum would be x blessing te) any town.
