Two still alarms were the only indications the fire department had that Saturday was the Fourth of July. A cartvass of the doctors last evening by the Tribune established the fact that the day passed without a serious accident of any kind emanating from the celebration of the day. Thus are thfe advocates of the safe and sane Fourth justified. Some good souls express the apprehension that with a cessation of noise and racket and the elimination of the bandages and the arnica from the Fourth of July celebration that patriotic interest in the occasion will shrink and the coming generation will lack a reminder of the sacrifices and triumphs of the colonial fathers. This is doubted. Noise and racket on the old Fourth appealed to /the primitive &ense, however, with the safer and saner celebration will come patriotic pageants, exercises to make an intellectual impression and the spirit of the nation can be depended upon to devise means whereby the. memory of the minute men and Bunker Hill will not be allowed to suffer one jot. On the contrary, inspiration more sincere than that yielded by a popping firecracker will be evolved out of the new order, and the cemetery and hospital census will be reduced—ample justification for the safe and sane doctrine.

FOOD FROM THE WABASH.

Just now, when the mussel hunters have extracted most of the crop from the Wabash river and shipped it to the button factories, along comes an eminent scientist and says that mussels are good to eat and that their use as food ought to reduce the cost of living.

Before the committee on appropriations of the house of representatives Mr. Redfleld recently made a plea for an appropriation for the encouragement of fisheries and in the course of his remarks he dwelt at some length on the value of mussels. He has already caused push-carts, loaded with this shell fish and placarded "Sea Mussels Recommended by the Bureau of Fisheries," to be operated in Boston And has found the results satisfactory. Bostonians are developing a taste for a food which, up to a few years ago was not considered edible. Even the most exclusive hotels are placing mussels on their menus and are sellln them. 1 /The fine thing about mussels is that /billions of them' may be produced each year at a nominal cost. They are as nourishing as clams or" oysters and 1 those who have developed a taste for mussels prefer them to any other variety of sea food. A fine meal of mus sels costs next to nothing and satisfies all requirements.

Such efforts on the part of th^gf federal government are commendable. Even though this inexpensive sea food will not penetrate to the markets of the middle west there will be general satisfaction that a few cities of the east are to be benefited.

THE OBSTRUCTORS.

This is the season of patriotism, but the public will take with a grain of salt the exalted patriotic position taken by the two railroad corporations, which have set out to stop the improvement

stlf* of the roads of Harrison township, lite Like Greeks bearing gifts, any sudden demonstration on the part of the railroad corporations ostensibly Intended for the benefit of the taxpayers should be closely scrutinized. It is on rare and extraordinary occasions that railroad corporations become exercised over the welfare of the people and work themselves up to such a degree of interest that fhey assume legal responsibilities for the benefit of the taxpayer. Of course, the legal merits of the railroads' contention are to be determined by the courts, but the question naturally arises, why such interference was deferred until after the taxpayers had stood the expense of special election? Too, the taxpayers will be curious to know why objections 'were not interposed until after plans and specifications for the roads were prepared at considerable cost to the taxpayers? Interest will concern it-

on the

part of the railroads "WSwfe^pressed until after the taxpayers had gone to the expense of asking for and awarding contracts? It will be the hope of the taxpayers tha^, no legal technicalities intervene which will deprifve them of full and ample protection at law. This public Improvement has been too generally endorsed and the need for It In the interest of the general good of the city and county too acute to permit it to Collapse with Interference of the sort from which these Injunction applications have sprung.

THE LAST STRAW.

Following the failure of the follow up letters to convince the president and congress that legislation should cease, new tack has been taken by these adroit souls seeking to sow discord in the country. Now they say that, the president is tired and sick, that he is disappointed and that he will leave public life with the expiration of the present term. All of which, of course, is false. No president was ever so successful in having important, constructive legislation passed. No president ever had more solid support in his party and the answer of Mr. Wilson and his colleagues is that they are going to stay on the job until It is finished.

The action of the senate majority in deciding to put through the anti-trust program before adjournment will be, accepted as an authoritative answer to those interests which have been insisting that congress postpone action on these bills and close the session. Further, it shows the upper house in full harmony with the president, betokening team work that will bring results.

Nor does this determination of the senate majority foreshadow a greatly delayed adjournment. On the contrary, the senators have coupled with their decision to stay on the job the further purpose to hasten action in all proper ways. There are to be night sessions. No energy is to be spared to keep a quorum constantly on hand.

So the country realizes now, if it did not before, that this important part of the administration program of legisla tion is not to languish. The objects put before congress at the beginning of the session have not lost their importance by the intrusion of unexpected questions nor by delays not then anticipated.

There will be a general Inclination to commend the stand of the senate majority. It makes superfluous a coed deal of senseless talk to the effect that congress would do the country, a service by abandoning its program r.nd hastening home with its work unfinished.

Our last regular. lesson, recording Jesus' interview wit hthe rich yourjg ruler, was in Mark. Next Sunday's lesson, continutd in Mark, beginning with the next verse after the last verse of last Sunday's lesson. The incident forming our lesson for today is recorded in Matthew alone, and took place between the happenings af the two lessons mentioned above. A stury of the harmonv of life of Christ shows some interesting and puzzling things.

Some of the incidents in Jesus' life and ministry were recorded by all four of the evangelists as, for instance, the feeding of the five thousand, the triumphal entry into Jerusalem, the Lord's supper, betrayal, arrest, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. On the other hand, some quite impirtant Incidents were recorded by but one of the gospel writers, as, for instance, the birth of Jesus, the flight into Egypt, Tesus' first miracle, the conversation with Nicodemus, conversation with the woman of Samaria, the Riving of the narable of the good Samaritan, the raising of Lazarus and the death of Judas iscarlot.

Still other events were recorded by three, and yet others by two of the gospel writers. This indicates "that Matthew, Mark, Luke and John did not nlace the same relative emphasis upon all of the things which they saw and heard, and is evidence of the truthfulness of the narrative.

ERHAFS there's not much choice between being an actor in a ten, twenty and thirt "rep" company and selling biscuits for a living, but Wilbur Chappelle always figured in stringing along with the dough, or that which was dougli, he acted the part of wisdom.

About the time Mr. Chappelle was being urged to play juvenile roles with the Criterion Dramatic company which was quite extensively booked over the pitcher and bowl circuit—the tank towns of Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky along came a proposition irom tiie i\afional Biscuit company, and he became a salesman of that Institution, the youngest salesman by the way, on that institution's salary list. That was 3 years ago when Young Chappelle had just turned eighteen. He almost »va.s an actor though.

Afterwards Mr. Chappelle took course in science at the Normal ana that helped some for the fates had ordained that he was to take up a vocation in the plying of which a little "book learning" on scientific matters comes in handy. j. ..

caters exclusively to auto enthusiasts. At the Motor Supply Co. you can get anything used in construction or repairing of an automobile, "from the tires up," as Mr. Thomas Jackson tersely express it.

Before starting the new concern on Ohio street, Mr. Chappelle was the efficient and gentlemanly chauffeur on the staff of Mr. Thomas^ G. Beggs. Before entering Mr. Beggs' employ Mr. Chappelle had been a road tester for the Overland Automobile company, of Indianapolis. He learned how to ''get out and get under" long before he was entitled to a vote, and he could crank up and turn on or off the juice, exceed the speed limit when the bicycle policemen weren't in sight, to take machines apart and put them back again, and all that sort of thing. In short, he knew before going into business all that the manager of a motor supply company should know. What he doesn't know about bumpers, shock absorbers, hydro Jacks, paraffine bases and spark plug pumps is hardly worth knowing.

SPEED.

Tiie price of speed is death: With all that's gone before, Men still with eager breath

Cry ceaselessly for more. Time on our books appears As dollars harsh and cold. But still throughout the years

Men die for sordid gold.

We have no time to pause, For life or mirth or song, Or any human cause,

We must not tarry long. The blinding fog comes down But still we must proceed, Perchance we all may drown,

But dare not slacken speed..

Precious the moments are, "On Time," the fetish rings Travel your journey far

On swift but feeble wings. Signal "Full steam ahead,' But never have it said

Gamble your lives with fate You came ah hour late.

Slaves unto speed are we, Chained by each foot and hand. Steaming across the sea,

Driving across the land. Golden the hours that fly, This is our greatest crime, Rushing along to die.

Lured by the god of time. —Edgar A. Guest in Detroit Free Press.

"The Laborers in the "Vineyard." There were in Palestine practically no isolated farm houses, but the people lived in villages. Usually th,ese would form about some spring of water or a large tree whose shade invited repose. The village would also usually be. on some pathwaj"- leading to other villages. On thiB pathway! at' its most prominent part, near the spring, the tree or other-' object that had led to the founding of the village, would be tre market place.

tration of the great truth he desired to express, as shown in this lesson. The householder corresponds to Christ. The vineyard is the wold and the laborers are the great mass if people. The real text of the lesson and the truth which the master sought to impress, is found in the latter part of the lesson. The first verses are so simple they need no explanation.

Behold the laborers as they line up for their pay, and look at the lord of the vineyard. Do you see any fault in them? The ones called first revealed their real charcter at pay-time. They worked simply for what they got and their hearts could not have been much in the service for they complained of the burden of the day and the scorching heat. There would have been no complaining had the others hired later received less than they. In such case they would not have thought of receiv ing more.

has a Lexingtonian accent, acquired visiting around Louisville when he was a mere child, but he was born and reared in Corydon, the ancient capital of Indiana, back in '88. Corydon was the headquarters of William H. Harrison, the place where the old constitutional elm tree is located. It was in Corydon that Mr. Chappelle acquired the stage fever, which almost culminated in his becoming a nice fat little actor. While he never had a

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 4.—To any one in position to know even a little oi wjiat is going on behind the scenes, the campaign of misrepresentation and deliberate lying, inaugurated about six months ago and carried on persistently and shamelessly by the "kept" press of the country In a desperate effort to discredit the mo^t ccnstruetive administration in half a century, is both amusing and disgustting. The unique phase of the situation lies in the fact that the "correspondents" and "special writers" who pen these monstrously false sturicp are compelled to face day after day the public men who know that the stories are fictitous and that the men who wrote them knew they were lies when they wrote them. This Is unusual in the case of Washington correspondents.

One of the worst offenders, perhaps, in John Temple Graves, who is the editorial news writer of the Hearst papers and whose long suit is to quote "a very distinguished democratic senator hcse name cannot be' mentioned," to the effect that democrats artMsItterly antagonistic to the Wilson program of reformatory legislation. Of course, we who have pushed the busy pen know what it means when we read of "a certain person whose name cannot be mentioned." One of the most persistent falsehools disseminated over the country has been to the effect that the democrats in congress are opposed to the determination of the president to pass trust legislation during the present session of congress. These stories have been legion. They ar6 out of the whole cloth. Their purpose has been to create the impression that the party machinery is not working smoothly and that Wilson is pushing t.he ship upon the rocks.

Then Came 'Rebound.

Theso stories became so infamously shameless that at length it became necessary to call the bluff. This was very effectively done the other day when Champ Clark headed a letter to the president assuring him of his heart7 sympathy with the program outlined, and this was followed by a speech from Senator John Sharpe Williams to the same effect. Of couurse, no one locks forward with great glee to a July and possibly August in Washington but all realize that they have a duty to the public to perform and every one has his shoulder to the wheel. Hereafter none but a lunatic will credit any of the fabrications about the possibility of adjournment before the passage of the trust, bills.

The latest lie—and we might as well call a spade a spade when the motive is so base and transparent— is to the effect that President Wilson is "disgusted" and has determined to take no "second term" and to pass the succession on to Bryan. Why should Wilson be disgusted?

Thtre has never been a president In the history of the country who has been able to accomplish so much in so brief a time, nor has there ever been one who has been able in recent years to work in such harmony" with the party leaders in congress. Considering the fact that when congress adjournr in about two months or. less this administration will have to it credit a tariff law, a currency re

form law, anti-trust laws, an income tax, a. law providing for the election of senators by the direct vote of the people, it is little less than assinlne to assume that the head of the administration has any occasion for disgust. The president instead of being disgusted is delighted with the record, greatly gratified at the attitude of the party leaders In congress and his enthusiasms are as warm todav as when he entered the white house.

Wilson's Prospects.

The present indications all point to the re-nomination and re-electijn of Wilson. No other idea is seriously considered here. The theory of the. "kept" press in circulating this new' lie is that the suggestion of Bryan will cause disturbances within the ranks of the party. Here in Washington where plutocracy has its l^dque.rters, and, until the Wilson adminifttration, was always found doing a satisfactory business at the old stand, Bryan has never been popular. It Is the highest compliment that can be paid The Commoner. The characteristic of Bryan these men who figure ,in dollars and cents only cannot comprehend is that he is more interested in having his ideas written into law than in holding any office. Unless some contingency now unthinkable arises, both Bryan and Clark and Underwood will favor the renomination of Wilson in 1916.

On no subject perhaps has thc*'kept" press done more strenuous lyirj than on the Mexican situation Almost every metropolitan paper—and mobt all of them are subsidized in some way or another—have been predicting all sorts of dire results from the WilsonBryan policy. Every insult, every slur that could suggest itself to a low typeof. mentality has been lavished upon the president and his premier. Ev».n Roosevelt—I wonder why I should have written "even"—has joined hands with Hearst in telling the people that the Mexican policy of the administration has made us the laughing stock of the world. Now we hear but little of this.

The Rewards Are Near.

The policy is about due for one of the greatest triumphs in diplomacy '.n th9 history of the world. We were told that the ABC mediation would be a screaming farce. So anxious were the plutocratic writers to discredit Bryan that they did not pen their insults and sneers at the South American diplomats who are entitled to ell praise for their splendid accomplishments. Now a protocol has been signed which means—what? It means that an agreement has been reached whereby Huerta's elimination is certain. But the "kept" press hurriedly prints the story that our insistance on a constitutionalist for provisional president in Mexico makes a peaceful settlement impossible, and will necessarily lead us into war. How absurd! If the constitutionalist and Buerta delegates are able to decide upon a man—it is settled and we are out of it. If they are unable to agree Villa will be in the city of Mexico within, a month—and we are out of it. A constitutionalist president is inevitable. Seldom in the world's history has a more masterly diplomacy been displayed. Compared with it the peace arrangements between Russia and Japan, for which Roosevelt was so extravagantly praised, pales into utter insignificance.

And now the "kept" press Is trying

Evil influences mingle with the good today, but still astrologers read it as a fortunate time for dealing with men in places of power. Mars is in beneflc aspect, while Jupiter. Venus and Uranus are all mildly adverse.

The rule is propitious for business associated with large enterprises. Engineering contracts for structural iron work, and buildings of complex architecture are subject to a favorably sway of the stars.

Whatever is connected with surgery, medicine, pharmacy, assaying and chemistry should benefit today. It is a good time for dental work and severe operations.

Soldiers and policemen, all who guard life and property, are under the kindly sway of Mars. The influences tend to make men brave, energetic and resolute. There is a prognostication of widespread changes in the organization of certain branches of the military.

Women should be cautious while this configuration prevails. Their judgment is likely to be poor, either in choosing friends or in making business plans.
