Hames; in Pennsylvania, Penrose; in Onio, Koraker; in Illinois, Cannon; in Indiana, Watson and Hetnenway. Th" chain is unbroken. The same »aflaences and the same men that dominated the republican party in the days of its decline are today trying to revitalize it and regain thefr ascendancy. The attempt to dissociate the Indiana leadership of the party from Ponroseism is absurd. What Penrotefsm is to Pennsylvania, so is the dominant Influence in the republican party of Indiana today. The same figures in Indiana who shared with Penrose the responsibility of wrecking the republican party are today dividing with Penrose the herculean task of resuscitating ft upon the old plane. To the progressive republicans of Indiana there Is a trumpet call in the complete repudiation by the New York Tribune, solid only party organ, of Penrose and all that Penroseisrj stands for. Equally significant is the repudiation of Penrose by J. Benjamin Dimmick, the candidate for the senatorial nomination against Penrose. Their message to the whole country is to defeat Penroseisni. in whatever guise of local color it appears. Penroseisni isn't confined to Pennsylvania. It reaches to New York, to Ohio, to Indiana, to Illinois, to every state where the old close corporate machine raises Its head.—lndianapolis Star. Poetmaster General Burleson ha? taken a determined stand against the appropriation of large sums for government buildings as provided tn (lie “Po.'kbarrel” bill of the last congress and is fighting the bill as hard as he can. It is likely that he will succeed in reducing the amounts and then is much to be said on hts side of the argument that is right. He wants the Bluffton appropriation reduced from $70,000 to $30,000 and Portland from $51,000 to $25,000. Just why Portland should be less than Bluffton Is rather hard to understand but the average person will agree that $25,000 to W>’, 000 ought to build a rather derent postoffice building.

' other cities Mr. Burleson will find no - objection from Decatur. t _ __ Senator Hollins, of NBw Hampshire, has been looking Into price conditions In his own stale, says the IndianapoPs News. Senator Hollins is a Democrat, : He has, says the New York World, "grown tired of the repeated com ( tnents slipped into the record by Re- ( publican senators, mostly for political ( purposes, that 'you have wrecked bus ( iness with your tariff policy, but is any. , thing cheaper? Can you name one artl- ‘ cle in common use that the wcikingman can buy for a penny less than he , could before the passage of this bill? ' A retail dealer of Manchester has sent to the senator a stetoment of prices for articles sold by him —prices for April, 1913. and April 1914. Cream ery butter has fallen from 42 to Hi cents, patent flour from $6 to $5.50 and $5.75, leaf bird from 18 to 15 cents, hams from 18 to 15 cents, prime beef from 22 to 17 cents, sirloin steak from 40 and 45 to 25 cents, pork loins from 22 to 18 cents and sugar from 6 to 4U cents.

FACED FOUR LIONS. I Coolness and Daring of a Plucky Kaffir * Herdboy. Four lions attacked a herd of cnttlo on a farm at Romsey, South Africa, says the Rhodesia Herald. The berdi boy was standing on an ant heap examining a pair of boots be had got the day previous, when he heard a low growl near him. On looking up he saw that three lions had got hold of three cows, while another lion stood looking on. ' The boy pulled off his boots and threw them at the nearest lion, aud I then made a rush for them with a stick, shouting nt the same tlmo at the top of his voice to another herdboy to bring a gun. In the meantime two lions had got their cows down. but. nothing daunted, the Kafir made a rush for them, and the Mona moved away from their prey. Thu buy tueu rounded up bis cattle (he had 108 head), and while lie was doing so had to chase the Hous away several times. When he was at one side the Mons would try to catch the cattle on the other. However, be brought all his cattle safely home, though one of the cows afterward died, the claw of a Hon having penetrated tier lung. For cool daring it would be bard to beat the chasing of four lions single handed and with no weapons except a pair of boots and a stick. LEARNING HOW TO UNLEARN. Modern Scientists Harking Back to Thales of Miletus. When we were yonng and knew without doubt that the molecule was composed of two or three ultimate parts, called atoms, we listened complacently to the statement that "science progresses in a straight Hue, philosophy around tn a circle, or at l>e»t along a bellcnl spiral." Now that we are older and believe that the simplest atom has nearly 1,800 parts, we find that perhaps the helix is expressive of science as well, observes the editor of the Engineering and Mining Journal. We believe, with the alchemists, that the so called elements are fundamentally the same. Whether we will transmute one to another remains to be seen; we follow the alchemists in attempting it Were one of the Greek philosophers. Thales of Miletius, for instance, to stroll into a modern assembly of physicists and chemists, the language would be more troublesome than the ideas. He would hear the physical chemist remarking cheerfully that there is no matter, for that which we call matter is only energy, and Thales would remark, "Plagiarist” The disciples of relativity, the ultra modern physicists, would tell him that space and time are one. and Thales would sigh to think of bls boyish debates. John Locko. John Locke, whose “Essay on the Human Understanding" was the first work that attracted attention In England to metaphyricai speculaUou. u..» born at Wrlngton. Englund, Aug. 29. 1882, and died at Oaten, England. Oct 28. 1704. The chief purpose of the essay was to find the original source and scope of human knowledge. The con elusions be arrived at in this stud.' were tbnt there is no such thing us “innate idea: that the human mind is as a sheet of white paper prepared to be written upon; that the knowledge! thereon written is supplied by experience and that sensation and reflection are the two sources of all our ideas." He made the first sketch when he was thirty-eight years of age and finished It seventeen years later. The book was bitterly attacked. A Boat Survival. The dgbaisa (pronounced dyes). the gondola of Malta, is a survival, says John Wignaeourt in 'The Odd Mau In Malta." of the oldest vessel ever used and varies little In shape from the Egyptian boats of the dend. Actually the eye of Osiris is still to be seen upou the prow. It is propelled by two exlierienced oarsmen, one of whom always stands. When the Gregale wind is sweeping the harbors and the stenm ferries nre unsafe you can still use the trusty dgh.nia. It is a guy little craft painted in brilliant colors—tn this respect a contrast to the somber gondola of Venice. I ——————— a Pleasant For tho Callers. Two ladies made a formal cull on a distant acquaintance. The maid asked them to wait until she ascertained whether the person Inquired for was In. Presently she tripped downstairs und announced that “Che lady was not tit home." One of the callers, finding that she bad forgotten her cards, said to her friend, “Let me write my name on your card." "Oh. It Isn't at all necessary, mlaa,” put in the maid cheerfully; "I told her who It wax"—New York Globe. Gone For Good.
