DOG DAYS.

According to Mr. Cade, people in this neck of the woods can console themselves that the distribution of excessfvely warm summer weather is general. From all parts of the northern hemisphere have come reports of almost unprecedented hot weather. Europe has suffered more severely than the United States.

The cities of northern Europe are not prepared for really hot days. Lton,doy has seldom suffered as severely as it has this summer. A temperature above 90 degrees is unusual, but this year it has been frequent. Throughout England there has been suffering, and there has been lit that could be done alleviation.

An amusing incident of the heated spell Is reported from Berlin. The hotelKeepers of the German capital united hi a petition to the newspapers to refrain from publishing anything concerning the heat. Berlin has been sweltering, and the newspaper reports "have had the effect of keeping travelers away. The hotel men would have 'the. impression given that the city is as comfortable as it usually is in midsummer.

There is, of course, no explanation of the exceptional weather conditions. Even the most erudite scientists can offer no reason. It is hot simply because it is hot. Only superstition or ignorance ascribes to the planet Mars or any other heavenly body except the Biin an influence over mundane meteorological conditions.

MEXICO'S PROBLEM.

Much has been said of the land division problem which confronts the new government in Mexico, It is a large question one that is without a parallel tn modern history. Carbajal -has insisted on the inviolability of the property rights of the Cientiflcos. The constitutionalists have held that these rights, in many instances, do not exist.

It is undoubtedly true that a great deal pf Mexico is held by men who acquired it through knavery and force during thei Diaz administration. The small landholders were systematically robbed and cheated, and reduced to a condition of peonage. Carranza and Villa have proceeded on the assumption that the titles to these lands are fraudulent, and therefore not worthy of respect. Villa's vast .confiscations in Chihuahua were based on this theory. It is the plainly expressed desire of Villa to confiscate most of the great estates of Mexico and divide them among the people disposessed by the high-handed methods of Diaz.

Herein lies a serious problem. There will be an appearance of poetic justice in mulcting the great landlords of the Jand which they dishonestly acquirg£. But there must be care not to work injustice to the families who, though

affiliated with the hated Cientilicos, have just title to their holdings. It is not clear how far Carbajal intends to go in his demand that there be no confiscations. If he holds merely for moderation and justice his plea may receive favorable consideration. Carbajal is in no position to lay down conditions or to attempt to strike a bargain.

The land question will be the greatest difficulty which the constitutionalists will have to face after they are placed in power. It is already looming ominously.

THE NEW SALEM.

Under the blue laws in Salem a man was sent to the stocks for thirty days for kissing his child on Sunday. And drastic invasions of personal liberty haven't entirely disappeared in this, country yet.

Among other stringent provisions in a new liquor ordinance just adopted at Taylorville, 111., is one providing $200 fine for any citizen who keeps any sort of intoxicants on the sideboard or in the medicine chest of his home. Sumptuary legislation having exhausted practically all available devices in restricting the traffic, its continuance on the theory of controlling the acts of individuals is perhaps logical. But a law that crosses the threshold of the home and prescribes what a man shall do there and what he shall keep there is likely to make efven prohibitionists gasp until they get used to it.

Reform by meddlesome Interference is making progress in this country.

LEGIONS OF THE AIR.

Those citizens who saw Mr. Beachey recently defy the laws of gravitation at the fair grounds will likely wonder little at future exploits of the airmen. The very latest achievement is maneuvering in columns of fours by aeroplanes intended to be an adjunct to armed forces. It was in Paris on the anniversary of the bastile's fall and there were fllve sets of fours, enough for a platoon drill. But In all France on the same day there were sufficient aeroplanes in flight to form nearly 100 sets of fours of the cavalry of the air.

Organization can add as much to the military effectiveness of the aeroplane as to that of the individual soldier. A single aeroplane operating by Itself has definite limitations in military value. But potential formidableness is greatly Increased with a highly organized force of many aeroplanes, participating in concerted movements, operating as a unit, directed by a single mind.

It begins with five sets of fours, bu aeroplaaies In regiments and brigades and divisions and army corps, filling the heavens like the flights of the migratory pigeons of former days, may yet hawe to be reckoned with by those who make war.

WATERWAYS.

While this section of the country is pondering what can be done to restore the usefulness of the Wabash river as an avenue of traffic, other parts of the country are going ahead developing plans for the utilization of the water resources. This week will witness the opening of the Cape Cod canal, a project that for years was considered fanciful and superfluous. It is eight miles long, and has cost $12,000,000. It is an important achievement, both because of its immediate value in facilitating commerce to and from the port of Boston, and because of its ultimate usefulness as one of the links in the Inside waterway which will connect New England with Florida.

The voyage to Boston from southern ports will be lessened by about seventy miles. This in Itself is a considerable gain, a sufficient reason for the canal's existence. It will also remove the danger of the rvoyage around the* cape, and will enable boats of small draft to ply in safety between New York and Boston.

Were It not for the centering of Interest In the Panama undertaking the Cape Cod canal would doubtless be hailed as a remarkable achievement. And it is none the less notable from being the work of Individuals who have received no government aid.

The Spanish Academy of Science has invented a machine that will play chess. Now can't that honorable body invent some other machine that will remove the human element from that other inhuman game of bull fighting?

Poets and humanitarians have condemned the way in which Gunda, the dangerous elephant of the Bronx zoo, is handled, but no sympathizer has stepped into the pen to show how th» handling should be done.

The New York Sun is encouraging a discussion over the way to make baseball more interesting. All the writers agree that the pitcher should be handicapped. But will this bring back the wandering fans?

It is said that Dick Croker will come from Ireland in September for the purpose of assisting in the fight against Murphy. The forces of reform sometimes find themselves yoked with bizarre allies.

HOROSCOPE FOR A DAY.

The stars Incline, but do not I'ompol.

Sunday, July 26, 1914.

Astrologers read this as a doubtful day. Mars Is in a place strongly adverse, but Mercury is in a benefic aspect.

The influences are conducive to religious controversies and to an attitude of criticism on the part of those who' listen to sermons. The stars presage radical reforms in missionary work, following scandals showing vast waste of money.

Reforms will occupy attention in the early autumn. Public institutions will be thoroughly Investigated. Wherever children are concerned the stars continue to indicate extreme public interest

While this aspect is in operation accidents are likely to be more numerous than at other times. Danger from cuts, scalds and bruises is said to be Increased. There is a prognostication of an explosion which causes loss of life.

Under this configuration literary matters are believed to be subject to a beneficent influence. It is presaged that poetic works will be more in vogue than at any time in recent years. A few writers will gain sudden fame.

Young persons should benefit greatly today, since the planets are especially friendly to their interests. The influences encourage high hopes and provide fine opportunities, the seers believe.

While there are prognostications of great progress on the part of women, a tendency toward unusual crimes will mark the next few months, If the message of the stars Is interpreted aright. Breach of faith In large enterprises and daring schemes for obtaining money are foreshadowed.

Persons whose blrthdate it is have the augury of extraordinary prosperity during the coming year, if Ihey attend strictly to the serious affairs of life. Those of suitable age will court or marry. Artists and musicians should enjoy unexpected success.

Children born on this day will be keenly awake to all the best opportunities of life. Natural leaders, determined and forceful, are born under this sign.

TEN YEARS AGO TODAY.

"The Pounds and the Talents." Luke 19:11-27.

Jesus is shown in tills lesson on the last stage of his great journey, that trom Jericho to Jerusalem. At the places where he halts for rest, or as they Journeyed, he would address the multitude. The present parable was native to the locality in which it was spoken. There was probably no other spot in the world then, or later, than the vicinity of Jericho, where it would seem natural to speak of a king going into a far country to receive a kingdom.

This city had familiarly known two kings, who traveled to Rome to have their title to their kingdom confirmed. They were Herod the Great and his son Archelaus. The latter had actually taken hie departure from Jericho. The reference to the hatred of the citizens and their sending a counter ambassage is probably also an allusion to contemporary history.

The Jews hated Archelaus, not without cause, for he had put three thousand of them to death Just before his departure, and they sought to revenge by sending a deputation of fifty citizens to oppose his claims. It was only partly successful, for, while he was refused the title of king, he was granted the territory with title of ethnarch.

Jesus' parable of the pounds is given by Luke alone. It is Luke also who records the visit of Zacchaeus, which visit, in Luke's order, occurred between the healing of Bartlmaeus and the giving to his disciples of the present parable. Farrar reminds us that this parable was to the disciples one of many sided application.

It indicated his early departure from ily. world, the hatred which would reH&t in his crlciflxion, the duty of faithfulness in the use of all that he entrusted them, the uncertainty of his return, the certainty that when ho did •"•eturn there would be a solemn account, the condemnation of the slothful, the regard of all who should serve him well, the utter destruction of those who endeavor to reject him. •The intensity of Jesus' effort to clear up the disciples' misconception# of his

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 25.—Tne other day while, on the-way to the capitol my attention was ^attracted to a brougham, which drove up to the Union station, because of the summery air of the occupant who .sprang out with a springy step the moment the carriage stopped, and turned to give directions to the coachman. Beside him stood one of the colored porters of the station hiding a huge 'oiack bag, and throwing his chest out .irf honor of the event. The former occupant of the carriage was dressed in white from tip to toe. His suit was white, his shoes were white, and his hat was white—yes, and his tie likewise. But his face was as brown as a berry with a healthy coat of tan. After giving his directions, he turned, and, mopping his brow, followed the porter into the station. That day that man was perhaps the most discufesod man in America. He had just issued a statement which had accomplished more for the cause of woman's suffrage than any similar pronouncement that has gone out in support of the propaganda, and he had just learned that his Mexican policy for which he had been ridiculed, denounced, abused and lied about for six months had proven its own vindication. It was William Jennings Bryan. He was on his way to keep a Chautauqua engagement, for It was Saturday noon and the work of the week was over. That same day practically all the oth?r cabinet members were leaving the city —the rest going away for a little rest and recreation. The president had laid aside his work and was riding about through the Virginia hills. But Bryan was taking advantage of his brief rest —to work. Of course he knew that the morrow's papers of the "kept" variety would print the old lie about the yodlers. I have attended many a chautauqua and never heard a yodler —and my experience is a common one. But Bryan appeared at one chautauqua where there were yodlers and the "kept" press Is still printing the stdry. At that the yodlers probably are entitled to more respect from decent people than the yellow yellers. But Bryan was not worried about that. He's been lied about so much he probably would feel forlorn and neglected were the lies to cease. He follows his own course, satisfies his own conscience, and is happy. And that brings me to the point I started out to make—that the flight of Huerta is as. much of a vindication for Bryan as was the result of the Baltimore convention. That flight was not unexpected here. It was looked upon as inevitable—and all because of the attitude and policy, of Bryan.

The Malcontents.

Fpr lo, the republican knlghtsi of Huerta, the "kept" press of the country, the press of Europe, the Wall street carpet baggers who looked significantly in the direction of the white house and the state department and exclaimed: "Some one is an ass," have found history, now writ, laughingly pointing the accusing finger at them with the exclamatlon-i-"thou art' the man." The elimination of Huerta in Mexico without the firing of an American gun will go down in history as one of the mcst marvelous diplomatic achievements of the age—compared with which the Russian-Japan affair was as a mole hill to. a mountain. Now is a good time to look back over the policy of Wilson and Bryan regarding Mexico. They refused to recognize Huerta who took power through murder for the purpose of re-establish-ing the old Diaz regime of pillage and privilege. The so-called powers of Eurcpe recognized the murderer. It was the moral force of the United States against the world.

From the beginning until last week one continuous sneer and jeer was directed at Wilson and Bryan—particularly at the latter for what was termed an "idiotic policy." The press of Europe with customary condescension sneered. The London* Times—

kingdom grows as we proceed. Instead of being something easy Jesus would have his disciples understand that to enter the kingdom meant toil and tribulations.

It was expected that his kingdom would soon appear and inasmuch as he would soon leave the world, lie speaks a parable to Impress a great truth which was better understood later than at that time.

organ of sweetness and light—printed weekly for a year articles from Wash ington about Bryan's dismal failure In the Mexican matter—articles, lauda tory of Huerta, the butcher. The Lon don Times said that Huerta would stick—and The London Times always knows and always admits it. Th Parisian journals—with their fingers on the pulse of the money lenders of the Bourse—regretted that Bryan was such an ass as to fancy he could do it The Berlin papers were quite as posl tive that Bryan was a great mistake

And on this side of the pond the "kept" papers printed a fussllade of lies about the Mexican situation— printed them day after day, ant} al ways coupled them with insults Bryan and Wilson. The Billy Hearst terribles were much het up because Bryan was so idiotic as to believe that we might eliminate Huerta with out going to war. The John R. Mc Lean frightfuls were lurid in their de mand that this Bryan foolishness be stopped and we go in and take Mex ico. The speculators, the big business contingent from Wall street, thought it shameful to let such an opportunity go by to grab Mexico and turn It over to the exploitation of our "best people." Even some of the ministers of the gospel could not stom ach Bryan—that element of the cloth that never could stomach a democrat but could always stomach Joe Cannon and Aldrich. The Methodist ministers, of Indianapolis, I believe, refused to indorse the action of the Methodist bishops in commending Bryan and Wilson for standing out against war. The action of these ministers is with themselves and God. Their action is beyond the comprehension of mere man.

And of course the Knights of Huerta In the senate was positively disgusted with Bryan. You couldn't fool them for a minute. They got "next" to Bryan in '96, and they've known all about him ever since. They had been much wrought up from patriotic mo tlves when Wilson made the "grave mistake" of burdening his administration with such an incompetent as Bryan. They were not surprised at the "miserable fiasco" we had made of the Mexican matter. It was humiliating to them to know that an American secretary of state was no match for Huerta. And besides, they knew that Huerta was a much abused man. He came to them highly recommended. The little gang that had surrounded Lemantour, the head of the Diaz regime, and had been able through corruption and governmental connivance to roh the Mexican masses and to reduce 85 per cent of the people to almost beggary, had recommended Huerta most highly—and they were, according to the traditional republican conception, "our best people-"

And now Huetra has flown New "Conspiracy of Silence, The "kept" press has had but little to say. Scarcely a line. The head lines on Mexico have all run out. Interest has vanished. The people really don't care about Mexico after all. The "kept" press is strangely silent now— and all because the people now know who has been the ass.

The London Times which loved to insult Bryan as the miserable incompetent in charge of the Mexican policy to the undoing of Wilson has half way apologized-^*to Wilson. Now that Huerta has gone the London Times really can't recall, you know, that It ever thought Bryan had anything to do with the Mexican policy.

And the Knights of Huerta in the senate—ah me, why discuss them. The Lord made them in America, therefore let them pass for Americans.

And it all comes back to this: Willian Jennings Bryan and Woodrow Wilson have accomplished a marvelous victory for peace with honor, against overwhelming odds, and in opposition to a vicious money ring bent on war and intervention and exploitation.

After the Tamplco incident war seemed certain. Had Roosevelt been president our troops would have been on the way to the City of Mexico within twenty-four hours. That sounds inspiring, eh? Ah yes—on

paper.

But

we would have stayed in Mexico for years. And we would have paid the toll. Our boys would have fallen week by week—and the drain on our purse would have been a continuous performance. It would have been an easv matter to have forced war at that time. Indeed, the hard thing was to prevent it.

But it was prevented—with honor, aye with glory. It is now an open secret in Washa A diplomats was made on the suggestion of William J. Bryan. The Tanipico incident had made the elimination of Huerta more than ever imperative. There seemed but one way out—war. But the ABC profer of mediation stayed the war dogs. We could hardly afford to ignore the offer of three friendly South American countries. Even the Knights of Huerta knew that. But Europe laughed. The idea •was preposterous to the enlightened christian powers who had shown tho civilized world how to do it in Albania. The Niagara conference was to be a farce.

Because It was a "foregone conclusion" that it was to be a fare*, the "kept" press thought it well to abuse the ABC diplomats, and to intimate that Bryan, the "amateur," had been "out-witted again" by Huerta, "and South America." It was quite clear to these diplomats of the press who were not amateur diplomats, that the whole thing was a Huerta game to gain time to meet our attack on the battlefield. The Knights of Huerta in the senate were indignant to think that an American secretary of state had "falleh" for such a ^transparent trick—a trick that would be paid for dearly in the loss of American'soldiers. Of course, that was before these Knights of Huerta learned that Bean had hatched the plan himself.

And-when they made the discovery —well, they were not surprised. It was "about Bryan's calibre." It was "the diplomacy of a child." It was very
