THE OUTLOOK'S INLOOK:"The Outlook, declares that ever Interesting and ingenious organ, "believes with Alexander Hamilton that ‘an energetic government is necessary to the safety of the Union.'" It is not likely that anybody will deny this, but it is probable that a wide difference of opinion would develop when it was sought to define the duties of that energetic government. The Outlook, for instance, believes that the government should regulate the trusts—presumably in the way proposed by one of ths unsuccessful parties in the campaign of two years ago. It would also make Mexico behave itself —by force of arms of course, for there is no other way; and this, as we all know, would be a bloody, expensive and long-drawn-out job that would leave us at its conclusion with a burden greater than tlte Philippines. The Outlook would not pull down the flag in the Philippines—which nobody proposes to do at this time, and which ail parties have proposed to do eventually, in a word, it does not approve of anything that is now being done by the government, and has a fully worked out scheme of its own which it regards as far superior to anything yet undertaken. Nor is this surprising, for the Outlookers ever had a high opinion of them selves. As to »remedying the present situation, it says: The American people have aa opportunity this fall to elect a house of representatives which believes in a strong government. And then in 1916 they would have an opportunity to elect a President who believea in a “strong”—as the Outlook defines it—government. But It is extremely doubtful if the American people will do these things. They spent a large part of the first decade- ,<f this century watching the country move toward the kind of “strong" government that the Outlook advocates. During that time they saw the trusts grow in numbers, power and law violation as nothing of the kind had ever grown before and probably never will again tn this country. Tiny aaw numerous commissions appointed for various purposes without even the shadow of legal authority. They saw Panama ‘taken.’' They saw the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company absorbed by the steel trust In violation of the law, but with the highest official approval. But they failed to see any effective prosecution of the trus£ though the Sherman law had been in force many a year. Then the American people began to realise what "strong” government es the Outlook variety meant, and although they had an opportunity two years ago to elect just such a Preaident and just such a congress as the Outlook favors, they did nothing of the kind. Instead, they elected a governmerit that actral'v revised the tariff downward: that passed a currency in-

form law In spite of the fact that it could not, or should not, be done; that repealed the "strong" government clause of the Panama canal law, and that now proposes to give little business an even chance in the race for success with Blk Business. And wPh all these things everybody but the Outlook's “strong” government contingent appears to be so well satisfied that there is hardly any danger of the Outlookers achieving their desires. — Indianapolis News.

It is claimed that with the thermometer registering more than ninety yesterday, that city experienced a heavy snow storm. Santa Claus. Tho Fort Wayne News devotes a half column to prove that the Pennsylvania men are working on threefourths time. If they are it is the fault of the company and no one else in the world, With the largest business In their history last year and prospects for the greatest crop this country has ever known, there Is absolutely no reason, except a selfish one for the Pennsylvania or any other company to reduce their force or the pay. Tlmy are trying to force an increased freight rste and they don't care how many men they make suffer to do it. Even at that every railroad is being compelled to put the men back to work ’ and the news columns of the Fort Wayne papers eVen including the News are proof of it. ■’XXXXMXXtOOCCIXXXXXXXffIDeWfc | DOINGS IN SOCIETY | WEEK'S SOCIAL CALENDAR, Tuesday.

Vera Crux, Juue 23 —(Special to Daily Democrat I—General Funston today refused to snow the request of the Mexican federal commander that an American train be permitted to run daily In the direction of Mexico City as far as Temblaberas. He did this, believing that Huerta's troops are deliberately planning for an engagement with his troops and that this wax patt of the plan. For three days American cutposts believe that the Mexicans are waiting a chance to encounter them in strife. These reports made today to General Funston caused him to refuse the request. ; Washington, D.

THE COUR£ NEWS Trial of Impeachment Case Against Lawrence E. Opliger Resumed IN COURT TODAY B. F. Kizer on Witness Stand This Morning—Allison Estate Appraised. Special Judge Robert W. Stine of the Wells circuit court sat on the Adams circuit court bench today when tlie trial of the impeachment case of the State of Indiana vs. County School Superintendent Lawrence E. Opliger was resumed. This wss begun a week ago last Saturday, when the testimony of one witness. Miss Leota Bailey was taken, that the trial might be continued during the vacation of the court. But one witness. Benjamin F. Kiser, a teacher in the Adams count; seltocds, former deputy for Mr. Opliger, was used this morning, he being on the stand the entire morning. As there were forty six witnesses subpoenaed, and but two examined thus far. it may be seen that the. trial will be a lengthy one. It will probably consume a week. The case is being heard by the court alone, there being no jury, Prosecuting Attorney R. C. Parrish for the state is beng assisted by Atty. Guy Colerick of Fort Wayne and Attorney D. B. Erwin of this city. For the defense, there are Peterson & Moran and C. J. Lutz. John S. McCrory qualified as guard ian of Lucy, John and Martha McCrory giving >SOO bond.

CLEANING CLOTHES AT HOME Some Simple Methods That Will Pro dues Results Equal to Those of the Professional. We all now need so many articles of wearing apparel that the problem of keeping them clean has grown tc be a serious one indeed, to those whe find it expedient to do some of their own cleaning rather than send all to » professional cleaner. (Iroaae is the most common of all spots. It may be removed In either oi three ways—-by absorption, emulsion or by the use of acmp and hot water The soap and hot water process may be applied to all small articles that can be laundered in the usual manner, and should require but little trouble. large articles and such fabrics as cannot be laundered may be treated by absorption. Fresh grease spots may often be entirely removed by a melting process alone. Place pieces of white blotting paper over and under the spot and proas with a warm Iron. If the fabric is such that the heat will affect the color, cold absorption, with French chalk as the absorbent, can be used. Pulverize the chalk, cover the spot thickly with it, and al ’' r it to stand for several hours tr.-n brush off with a soft brush. If necessary apply it a second time This chalk may also be applied by mixing it to a paste with benzine applying it In that form, and brushing It when thoroughly dry. In cases of large grease spots of long standing it is best to use a solvent of grease, such as alcohol, chloroform, ether, benzine or naphtha Ben zine and naphtha are the best for woolens, while other and chloroform are bent for silk. and may be used In tho most delicate fabrics. A thick piece of sateen is a good article with which to apply these solvents, as It docs not become- llnty. CURTAINS ARE WORTH CARE Their Usefulness May Be Prolonged With a Little Pecaution at Cleaning Time. When doing up fine curtains the weight alone of the heavy work often tears the curtain. To avoid this, take cheesecloth that has been shrunk, or old sheets sewed together, on which ; carefully baste the curtains. After , shaking out the dust, soak In cold . water. Put In suds and boll. Gently 1 lift up and down In the water. Rinse in several waters, the last slightly blued for white curtains, or stained with coffee for ecru Put through the I wringer; never wring by hand. Ret up the stretcher, and after doubling your curtain to find the center, com- ’ mence to pin on from center to outside. Keep the curtains constantly wet while pinning on. or they may tear. Four curtains may be pinned on at once, an keeping all pairs pre- , cisely the same size and shape for bay , or double window. A little starch may be added to the last rinsing water if desired. r I Six Months' Cake. t Work one-half cup of shortening ; (using butter and lard In equal proper ! tions until creamy), then add grad- . ually, while beating constantly, one ‘ mpful of sugar, two eggs well beaten ’ and one-half cupful of molasses. Mix and sift two and one-half cups of bread flour, one teaspoonful of cream [ sf tartar, one-half teaspoonful of . xoda. one teaspoonful of cinnamon, ine-fourth teaspoonful of clove and one-fourth teaspoonfnl of mace. Add alternately with one-half cup milk to first mixture and beat vigorously, then tdd one cup of raisins, seeded and cut I in small pieces and dredged with two tablespoonfuls of pastry flour. Turn Into two broad pans and bake in a . moderate oven 45 minutes Cranberry Sauce. 1 Many people Hire cranberries served I I without seeds tmd skin, but find cuti Ing each berry a tedious process i The tame result can be obtained by I putting the berries through the food 'hopper, aays the Rt Izmfx Star. This breaks each berry and cats the skin 1 Into small bits, giving the sauce a 1 better appearance. Way to Use Leftover Meat.
