STATE UNIVERSITY.

The scarcity of water at Bloomlngton has evoked discussion over the necessity of moving the state university from Bloomlngton. While the uj«.Ktr is largely In ti.e speculative stajfc, it may be well to direct attention to Terre Haute's qualifications as the future location of the university. Terre Haute is emi hatically a center of education. The atmosphere creatpi& here by the numerous other splendi 1 educational institutions would be con air' ducive to the fullest development of 3&v> the state university, and the natural it'f conditions are so beneficent the InstlSi*#?4' tution would never be confronted with a dilemma like the one confronting it

If not considered as prompting sentiment inimical to the Interests of Bloomlngton, it Is suggested to the board that careful consideration be given Terre Haute should the Institution be impelled to change its location.

CONSERVING THE NERVES.

it ,. *.

The Tribune has called attention to the manner in which cities in other states have legislated against needless uu., automobile and motorcycle noises, especially the use of the muffler cut-out

These noises have become a nuisance, necessitating the passage of some such law as that being drawn up by the officials in numerous communities, making the abuse of horns and muffler cutouts a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment --j^iATI cities that have laws against unnecessary noises prohibit the use of the, muffler cut-out, particularly in the residence districts. Sirens or horns "emitting distressing sounds" are also forbidden in some cities. And hospitals are guarded against these noises by a special provision. A comprehensive, practicable ordinance will make the automobile more popular and life more enjoyable.

LABOR LEGISLATION.

The democratic party of Indiana, in state convention, has gone on record as favoring enacting legislation creating a board which will provide for mediation, conciliation and arbitration in controversies between employers and employes, as well as pledging a rigid enforcement of the laws that have been enacted in the. interest and for the protection of railroad employes and all other employes and wage-.earners of the state.

The daily newspaper publishers of this country have enjoyed arbitration with their organized employes for the

past thirteen years. This arbitration contract with the International Typographical Union has illustrated that voluntary arbitration makes for peaceful and harmonious conditions. Compulsory arbitration might not be so successful

During the last decade the American people have come to view all industrial questions in a broader, more liberal way. And so it is hot fair to assume that the conciliation and arbitration policy of the International Typographical Union has had a large influence in bringing about this condition of the public mind? The principle of arbitration has long been advocated within the organization. The printing trades halve persistently and consistently advocated the arbitration of disputes.

Too, the conclusion is that the success of the plan in this craft is due to the fact that the arbiters are chosen from the parties concerned men who understand every detail and condition which comes before them for consideration.

MONKEY BU8INE88,

According to the Tribune's Washington letter today it seems that those who got hurt in the free canal tolls skirmish were confined wholly to the opponents of the president's program, and those who Btood by the epcecutive program hajve as their reward quite an attractive testimonial to take before their constituents. The lesson failed on some.

Certain anti-administration leaders declare the president will be unable to put through his anti-trust progTam before adjournment. They propose to organize a campaign of garrulous delay. No chance, they declare.

Less than a year ago antl-adminis-tratlon leaders were insisting that Mr. Wilson would be unable to get the kind of tariff measure he was pledged to secure. He got It.

A few months later the president was challenged to get the kind of banking currency act he sought and for which the country had been waiting for decades. He got it.

Half a dozen weeks ago President Wilson was told by house and senate minority leaders that he could never secure the repeal of the tolls exemptlor measure. He got It.

And these same leaders are willing to stake their own reputations for sagacity once more on the proposition that Mr. Wilson can't get his trust program through before adjournment. But history has a most persistent habit of repeating itself.

"WHERE THERE'S SMOKE."

Chief Bledsoe's timely (suggestions as to public safety in connection with the preparations for the celebration of the Fourth of July are atigmented by like admonitions from the state department of public safety.

The Indiana state fire marshal is anxious for every local fire department in Indiana to take unusual precautions during the Fourth of July season to prevent the spread of lire. "Last year we notified every Indiana fire' department to be particularly watchful on the Fourth," says the fire marshal. "More than fifty fires were reported, resulting in a loss of $8,500. The large number of losses reported is particularly significant, for any one of these fifty fires might"have resulted in serious loss, to property and life, had not local departments been unusually active in preventing the spread of the fire."

The ordinance to prevent the retailing of fir'6 works which Fire Marshal Longley recommended to every Indiana city last week, does not prevent the use of fire works for displays, says the fire marshal. It does limit their sale, however, and makes it necessary for the permission of the mayor or fire chief to be obtained before fire works may be'discharged. "By limiting the use of fire works in this way," says the state fire marshal, "local. fire prevention officials may make any requirements for public safety that the conditions seem to require."

ADONIS OF THE AD.

A German geologist has returned from Africa with the fossil remains of a human being in his traveling bag. Of course there's nothing strange in this from the geological point of view. No crime is suspected. It wasn't thought necessary even to notify tb" coroner. The geologist is proud of his souvenir. He says the fossil man is at least 150,000 years old. This may sound antique to the conservative hearer, but Dr. Reck says It isn't at all excessive. Scientific investigators declare that man has existed on earth between 100,000 and 300,000 years, and Dr. Reck seems to ha,Ve made it a safe bet by assigning his protege to the middle distance.

Another thing the geologist tells us Is that mankind made no mental improvement for a thousand centuries or more, while physically he is no better now than he was when Dr. Reek's traveling companion was a boy.

HOROSCOPE FOR A DAY.

The utora Incline, but not compel. Copyright 1312 by the McClura Newspaper Syndicate.

Monday, June 22, 1914.

The sun enters the sign of Cancer and the summer, solstice begins when both Venus and Mars are rising in Leo. The ingress takes place on the cusp of the twelfth house.

Venus giVes promise of rather a favorable outlook for the country, but Mars indicates a continued drain on the national treasury and a constant piling up of th"e public debt. Depreciation of certain important stocks is indicatr-d.

The signs are read as prophetic of astonishing gain in power of socialists, who will acquire control In places least suspected of being amenable to their influence, the seers declare.

A menacing star governs affairs connected with the postoffice revenues. Discontent among employes is foretold.

The moon and Saturn are in places that are not auspicious for financial conditions.

Theatrical affairs, are subject to an evil sway. Immense losses are foretold, especially in inland cities. New York will not be exempt from the malefic rule of the planets that govern amusements. Incendiary flres are a possibility for the stars in angry blaze augur ill.

Agriculture is under a propitious reign. Immense crops are promised in certain states, especially those of the west, but floods and severe storms are prognosticated.

Shipping again is under an unfortunate omen. Heavy losses and an unusual number of wrecks are foretold.

Foreign astrologers predict the rise of a woman leader, who will be greater than any that has essayed a reform In economic matters.

Persons whose birthdate It is have the augury of successful change within the year. Sickness in the family is a possibility to be guarded agaMnst.

Children born on this day may be exceedingly fond of tra!vel. Boys should succeed in business, although they have the omen of heavy losses.

I can tell you of a place where vou'll find no mosquitoes, no noise, no inferior food, no fatiguing requirements as to dress where the fishing is always good and the temperature ideal—" "I know," replied the weary citizen.

How I Earned My First Dollar

To look at Manager Charles Smith, of the Grand opera house, one would hardly believe that he was formerly a physical dlreetor-. At the Buhl elub in Sharon, Pa., Mn Smith's name is down as the first physical director of the club, and oil looking up the basketball records at the club you can find that his basketball teams gave Yale, Wisconsin and some of the other university teams a hard tussle years ago. In speaking of the way he earned his first dollar, Mr. Smith said! "I was about eight years old when I earned my first dollar* I used to go out on my uncle's farm at New Springfield, Ohio, during the summer time, and one summer I was given work picking strawberries, I was paid a cent and a half a quart I worked for about a day and a half and received a dollar for my work. I enjoyed the work very much at that time."

F. J. WELDE3LE—(Weldele & CoPrinters)—In all this talk about the Saturday afternoon closing movement the fact seems to have been overlooked that next to the bankers the printers of Terre Haute were the pioneers in the Saturday afternoon closing movement. The print shops of Terre Haute have been closing at noon Saturday for1 four or five years, and yet this seema to have been forgotten in the stress of the present movement.

H. L. Evans (director boys' work, Y. M. C. A.)—The youngsters from the city schools are surely making the most of the chance they are having to get free swimming lessons. Some of the boys are so anxious to get in the pool that they almost seem to attend school at two or three different places.

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 20.— Now that the tolls question has been disposed of the senate will turn its attention to trust legislation, and it is practically certain that the bills passed by the house will be amended In some particulars and passed before congress adjourns. All the rumors about postponing action until after the election is buncombe. The prospects of an all summer session again is not pleasing, but since the democrats assumed control of the government they have been manifesting a unique disposition to earn their salt by subordinating their personal convenience to the country's good.

The interests are still at work through the mails and the letters that reach members of congress urging postponement are all, or almost all, in the same hand-write. It is quite true gthat business will breath easier after it knows what congress proposes to do.

Sunday School Lesson for June 21

BY REV. ELMER ROESNER, PASTOR OP THE CHURCH.

"The Great Relisal." Mark 10:17-31. In point of time the incident recorded 'n this lesson probably occurred between the two parts of the last lesson. The rich young ruler was a very gocd example of a modern type of selfsatisfied, self-congratulating moralist.

He was living up to the letter of the law, and in comparison with many others, doubtless, felt that he had reason to be proud of himself. He was even humble in the presence of Jesus. He belonged to that class of men, who mind their own business, but who do not make it tneir business to mind the sufferings and conditions of their fellows.

The modern tendency on the part of prosperous men to turn their duties over to a secretary while they go on making more money, does not receive sanction here. No man can be a benefactor in the world in an Christ like sense without coming in such touch with the world as to feel the world's ivoe and distresses. The particular fault of this young man was selfishness ar.d Jesus is prescribing the necessary medicine to break it up.

Here came a young man, who was rich, to Jesus, a man who was moral, a ruler, an anxious inquirer, seeking eternal life. He was in earnest for he ran, and when Jesus looked on him he was moved. What could this young man lack to make him acceptable to the Master? To the man who looks on outward appearances, there would seem to be no lack, but he who read the, young man's heart saw his weakness. The one little thing may close to us the gates of the kingdom. "Go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou sha.lt have treasure in heaven and come and follow me." Here was the test. This was the price to be pan*.

is liable to trust those riches. He does not feel dependent and too many times a man of wealth expects his wealth tc carry him into society and friendship.

The conditions today are materially the same as then. Among these conditions required to gain the pearly gates are faith in Chrst, repentance of one's tins, confessing Christ, being bertized. Observe all things whatsoever Jesus has commanded and lo, he is with you always, even unto the end of the world.

months then business will rest easy after two months. If action Is postponed until the session of 1915 then business will be disturbed and uneasy until after 1916. Such being the case it is rather surprising that business should not prefer to have its status plain at a date as earily as possible. Such is probably the case with the majority of business men. Especially with that portion that thinks. It would be-a good thing of course from the republican point of view to postpone action.

Delays Are Dangerous.

If business men can be kept In an uneasy frame of mind throughout the four years of the Wilson administration it might be hard on business, but it would be splendid for those republicans who are mostly concerned with the pie of place. On the contrary, if all of the great remedial, constructive legislation of the Wilson administration can be disposed of now. and business, reassured, begins to boom. It would be most, tragic to the republicans who appear to want nothing so desperately as business depression. The long headed citizen will readily understand the wisdom of Wilson's insistence upon action now. It will be remarkable—that record of

two years

of democratic rule. Tariff reformed, currency reformed, income tax law passed, election if senators by the people provided for, trust legislation enacted—all in two years. Of course, the people have a right to resent that sort of a record If they feel so inclined.

As a matter of fact it Is the people, not the Wilson administration, that will be on trial this fall. However, there is no doubt entertained here as to the result. The house will continue democratic by a large majority. Some few members, caught in the meshes of patronage difficulties, will probably be defeated, but the result will be a vindication of the administration.

Scraporious Statesmen.

The little brush in the senate on the night of the vote on tolls rep^a', between Vardaman of Mississippi and several others was not nearly so impressive as a portion of the press has tried to make it. and yet it was sufficiently dramatic to make it one of the memorable events of the senate from the pugilistic point of view. The whole trouble grew out of the vigorous drubbing that Senator James had given Vardaman the night before because of the Mississippian's attack on Bryan and the prospects of the democratic party. In my last letter I mentioned this attack and the actions a daman.

It was on the following nijht that he rose to reply, and in doing so he disclaimed any intention of reflecting upon Bryan or the pres:cent and insisted that he ha.d sooken without bitterness or feeliniT. This resulted in an Interchange ml 9*99*** comments be

tween the huge one from Kentucky and the immaculately attired one with' the long locks from Mississippi—an Interchange in which Vardaman handled himself very welL although in doing bo he really got himself In deeper as an opponent of the administration on the tolls question.

Then came the injection of Senator West of Georgia, a new man recently sent to the senate to serve until the election as the successor of Senator Bacon. Now West is a peppery southerner—quite like Vardaman. For some reason he has been exceptionally active and pugnacious in support of th« administration's policy, and in his re-, marks he rather reflected—as Vardaman thought—upon the Mississippian's integrity by seeming to intimate that possibly the ship building trust was financing the fight against repeal. In truth he said nothing of the kind. But' Vardaman was already warm under the collar. He had been on his feeti quite a while and had been Inflamed' by the prodding of James. Instantly he started for West. Senator As-1 hurst, who foresaw the trouble, had! placed himself between the two men anJ thus an encounter was prevented.1

A Fresh Thorn. -.J

A little later—just when things! should have been permitted to cool off, John Sharpe Williams of Mississippi, a long time rival of Vardaman, and' the leader in Mississippi of an oppos- ~f ing faction, could not resist the temp-! tation to precipitate himself into the controversy by making a further attack' upon his colleague. Of course ©very one knows of the relations of these two! men. They have never been political! allies. Williams has cansistently opposed Vardaman's aspirations. He de-! feated him for the senate by a narrow margin, and tried to defeat him two years later but without avai^-.^Itj was rather unfortunate that Williams, should have jumped In at this jujneture. Perhaps, as might be made, to appear from the early- part of Wil-j lams' remarks, his purpose was to ex-! pose the dishonesty and hypocracy and unreliability of the Washington Post| which had spread the word abroad that Vardaman had spoken against the ad-j ministration with "great bitterness."' At any rate the senior Mississippian quoted the disclaimer of Vardaman as to bitterness as another of many1 illustrations of the utter unreliability, if not the open dishonesty of the John! R. McLean papers.' But It was "V^ii-i liams who said this. Had It been Any one else Vardaman might have taiken! it in good faith. But from Williams—•' his long time enemy—It was too mijch.j and in a moment the two were engaged! in the most bitter interchange of per-: sonalitles. Williams referred to Var-j daman's apparent inability to measure! the exact meaning of his own wbrds in English, and spoke of him as b^ingj "a very excitable man, with great temperance of thought and of expres-j sion." Naturally Vardaman did liiotj take kindly to this kind of tribute akdj he took occasion to express his utter contempt for Williams' opinions, andj to say that he was grateful that he.} Williams, was on the other side' inf that it made him, Vardaman. feelj
