THE PEACEMAKERS When a newspaper like the New York ’‘Evening Mail” prints an editorial under the title of "Peacemaker or Troublemaker” (meaning the president), the question occurs —why? It it because of facts and convictions, or it is just peanut politics? Collier’s has not always held back from criticizing the president (and will not), and therefore is perhaps entitled to ask this kind of question. The "Evening Mail” charges that Mr. Wilson ' "has let loose a flood of foolish talk otj war” between America and Germany; charges, too, that he has acted in away likely to embroil us with Great Britain. This is poppy-cock. At i a crisis this government is by no means exempt from criticism, but the corollary of this theorem is that the criticism must be adult size. Some of the “Evening Mail’s” jabs at the administration sound a good deal like the chat that Minority Leader Mann indulges in to keep himself awake in the house of representatives. Collier’s is not enthusiastic about the administration’s foreign policy in many details, and has been first to denounce Mr. Bryan’s notion of diplomatic appointments. The administration's love of peace and work for peace in the form of arbitration treaties is, al) the same, a monument to Mr. Wilson’s intelligence and to Mr. Bryan's integ rity. Moreover, Mr. Bryan’s letter and the note presented to Great Brit ain on the use of the American flag are all of them to the point, and thi.~ country is proud of them. At a time of large issues it seems to be somepeople's ambition to look as small as possible, and that is true of those who capitalize for politics’ sake blunders the administration has not yet made. —Colliers. As a result of the Lyon revival at Fort Wayne more than five hundred new members were taken into the churches of that city last Sunday, and many more have announced their intention to do so. Besides this there

is a wonderful revival of Interest and every church was crowded, the attendance being the largest ever known there. Does it pay? About the biggest joke so far announced in the rejuvenation of the g. o. p. is that which conies from the Columbia club at Indianapolis. The club is known as the meeting place of the rich and near-rich, the club man who has nothing to do but drink cock tails and eat his fill of rich foods, while he discusses how he can make the working man dig up a little higher rate of interest. By all means let the Columbia club have absolute control of the republican party in Indiana and the democrats will remain in power for many decades to come.

Business Women's Banquet—M. K. Church. Something Divine in Everyone. We must learn to take people as we find them. Instead of that, the most of us go around with a measuring-cup, standardized according to our own ideals, into which we put those with whom we come in contact. Some of those whom we put into the cup are so small that they rattle around in it, while others are so large that they stand head and shoulders above the top. In either case we find fault with them and try to make them over to fit the standard that we have set for them. In nearly every instance we fail in our purpose and make ourselves and others unhappy on account of It. , We become critical and unjust in ’ our judgment of them. It is like looking at the wrong , side of a tapestry and seeing only ( the knots and loose threads without giving a thought to the beau- . tlful pattern on the other side. People can no more be stand- ( dardized in their personal quali- < ties than in their stature. So frequently our standards are wrong. We expect too much of people. ' We only see one side of them. Frequently we endow them i with virtues and qualities that they never possessed and we are _ disappointed when we find that they have them not. We are often attached to people because of some trick of speech or manner —because they have pretty hair or a dimple, or remind us of some one we knew

and loved long ago; or we dislike them because of some unpleasant memory they call up. We should throw away this faulty measuring-cup and accept a sliding scale instead and take our friends and those who interest us for the good that is in them; for there is something divine—to love and emulate—in everyone. We should learn to enjoy people and not try to make them all over again. It is an impossible undertaking, and they would be a dull, uninteresting lot even if we could. There is a vast amount of enjoyment to be gotten out of our association with others if we do not let their idiosyncraciep sour us. There Is so much good in the worst of us and so much bad in the best of us that our little pet standards are worse than useless. They simply react upon us and show how little we ourselves are. It is wicked and soul-destroy-ing to everyone concerned. We must not expect too much of others. We must learn to take people as we find them. —Annie Miller Knapp in The Woman's National Mr. and Mrs. F. A.

They will also sing a number of their selections as well as assist the choir here. This popular choir comes in response to tn invitation sent to them by the Honeywell evangelistic party.

Os Stomach and Heart Trouble Seizes Ray Collins, Manager OF MORRIS STORE Mrs. Fred Engle Operated On—Mrs. Graber Better —Other Notes. Ray Collins, manager of the Morris store, suffered a sudden attack of stomach trouble this morning at nine o’clock which reacted on the heart. He had been in the basement store room when he became seized with the attack and sat down on a barrel. He was found in an unconscious condition with his head lying over across his arm by Laudy Jackson, assistant, wlio went into the basement It was fully a half hour before he recovered sufficiently to recognize anyone. although he was given prompt medical attention. Had he not been found when he was. it is believed lie would not have lived over a few’ minutes on account of the unfavorable position in which he was lying. He was taken home in a cab. Mrs. Fred Engle, who was operated upon Saturday evening at seven o'clock for appendicitis at the Lutheran hospital. Fort Wayne, is getting along well.

Harve Rice returned today from Berne where he was called yesterday by the illness of his son. Edward, who is ill of catarrhal bronchial trouble. The babe is somewhat better. COLUMBIA CLUB (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) er church pulpits in the state wiil ring with steaming denunciation of the lawlessness that is thriving under a democratic adminstraton in this city, there should also ring a prayerful consideration of the great benevolence as now practiced by the Columbia club with its high ball counter, its blind tiger and the greatness of its president.

For nineteen years the Jackson club of Lafayette has been in existence and for that many years the club has annually celebrated the name of tne club with a banquet and a feast of oratory. The event for nineteen hundred and fifteen was duly’ celebrated Friday night and many of the party’s celebrities graced the occasion with their presence. It was a most pleasant occasion. The speeches were enjoyed, the social greetings brought to mind the pleasant memories of the glorious past, and in all the democracy of Tippecanoe county was benefitted. Among the speakers were the Hons. Charles J. Murphy of the public service commission, Judge Becker of Hammond, Auditor of State Crittenberger and Congressman Peterson, who on next Thursday will retire as congressman from the Tenth Indiana district. John W. Behymer of Tipton is now the state supervisor of oils for the district of Indiana. He filed his bond for the amount of fifty thousand dollars, and Monday began his duties as the head of the oil department. He appointed Byron Tranbarger of his home city as his deputy. This week will be the cleaning-uo season for the general assembly, and there is no reason why every important piece of legislation cannot be legislated into law’, or legislated on the scrap heap. It is believed that nothing will interfere with a well defined business finish to a session that will long be remembered for its many qualities that will commend it to the people. 0 FOR RENT —Five-room house on No. 11th St., No. 313, in good condition; good cistern and well water; woodshed and stable.
