DELAY A FRIEND OF PEACE.

While there has been much said about watchful waiting, President Wilson's theory seems about to influence the relations of nations generally. The new Anglo-American treaty, which has been negotiated by Sir Edward Grey and Ambassador Page, is ^xpected to carry out the idea of postponement as a method of averting war. It provide for the establishment of a commission to wheih any dispute between the signatory powers shall be submitted. Until the commission reports both nations must refrain from hostilities and even from active preparation for hostilities. There is a two-fold hope in this method of procedure: First, that the commission may be able to settle the dispute ahd second, that the delay entailed will in any event allow time for the cooling of passion and for the assertion of calm judgment and conciliation.

If, as indicated, the treaty Is to Include every conceivable form of dispute it will mark a great advance in AngloAmerican friendship. In former treaties question's^ "involving national honor," have been specifically excluded from tfie list of arbitrable differences. The United

rStates,

it is understood,

has been responsible for the inclusion of this qualification. Under the new treaty even questions "involving national honor" would be subject to the same treatment as all others, and the last loophole for jingoistic impulsiveness would be- plugged.-,

Treats galore and joys a plenty await the followers of Izaak Walton who seek the lakes and streams in piscatorial pursuit. There they find an abundance of game fish, of size to test the mettle of the handlers of the rod and reel, •t': The state fish and game commission, "under the direction of Governor Ral_0ton, has been laboring to restock the rivers and lakes of the state and this year some of the benefits of this work are coming to the real sportsmen who have given the state their support in the plan.

Millions of baby fish have been annually distributed in the lakes and rivers, cared for and given a chance to mature. Of late years all small fish taken by the commercial fishermen in

$30.00 $27.00 $25.00 $22.50 $20.00

their nets have been turned over to the state.. Many tons of these fish, .some weighing three pounds, have been put in the rivers and the lakes all over the state. These gleaming trophies, by the thousand, await the skill of the angler.

To many no other sport compares with fishing for sheer delight. There's music in the whirr of the reel as the line is cast far out in the clear water. There's a wild, delirious joy that comes as one feels the tug of a big bass. It is a pursuit where men renew th^ir youth and conserve their good nature. It adds to the joy of living.

WHAT EVERYBODY KNOWS.

The New York Times Monday used seventeen columns of closely-set type to report business conditions throughout the country. It went to the sources of the information desired, interviewed bankers, manufacturers and merchants by scores and covered the situation in each of the important branches of industry. The result is an optimistic survey pleasing to every friend of prosperity.

As the Times itself summarizes Its voluminous reports, "there is apparent, running through the entire mass of reports, a feeling of confidence in thhe immediate future. This is not the least perfunctory optimism that is easily tapped, but rings true and Is supported by conditions cited'in the replies."

Reports like these—and they are appearing every day—are the despair of partisans who had hoped to effect a political overturn by the hard-times cry. It will not work. Facts are against them.

MAKERS OF HISTORY.

While the makers of history are still puzzling with the Mexican problem another but less warlike revolution encroaches on their efforts from no otber source but "the right little tight little islend" of England. Before parliament comes to art end In August Premier Asquith is expected to present his plan for the dissolution of the house of lords and th ecreation of an upper house that will be a representative body.

Just what Mr. AsqUith will suggest is not definitely known. It is known, however, that the hereditary principle in the upper house will be practically abolished. The nobles may still be considered a separate class and aa such they may be given definite representation by peers elected by the votes of peers. The church of England, whose bishops now sit ag members of the house of lords, will be deprived o? her legislative monopoly, and representatives of other churches will be given seats. It is said to be likely, too, that a certain number of members of the upper house will be appointed directly by the commons.

This last suggestion is for the purpose of assuring harmony between tlie two houses. In the past the lords, always with an overwhelming conservative majority, have worked well with a conservative house of commons, but when the house of commons has happened to be liberal there has been a deadlock between the two chambers. If a certain proportion—say a third—of the upper house were to be chosen by the lower house there would be practical certainty that the two chambers would have similar majorities.

The abolition of the lords, if It is accomplished, will be the rudest shattering of tradition which England has achieved in many generations. The

P. G. HARDING.

W. P. G. Harding is the representative of the south on the federal reserve besrd and he already In Washington occupying his office in the treasury department. Mr. Harding comes from Birmingham, Alabama, where he entered the banking business in 1882 as clerk and Bookkeeper in a private bank. In 1902 he was made president of the First National bank of Birmingham, which position he still holcls.

lords have already been rendered innocuous by Asquith's parliamentary reform act, but they continue to exist. Their reverend antiquity has preserved them from the destroying hand of the reformer. If they are now abolished it will prove that England, at last, Is freeing herself from the bonds of tradition which have long hampered her progress.

PORK AND PIE.

Along towards the end of any congressional term when the sundry appropriation bills are up newspaper readers are apt to hear much of the "pork barrel" and "pork statesmen."

It has been the custom of the committee for many years past to report to the house once in from two to three years -what has come' -to-be" called an "omnibus public-building bill," covering the entire country, and providing one or more public buildings for each congressional district at the places where the necessity appeared to be greatest. This "omnibus public-build-ing bill" has frequently been contemptuously referred to as the "porkbarrel bill" by the press of the country, and particularly has this been true of the newspapers in Washington. Whenever a Washington newspaper has occasion to refer to the effort being made by. a representative in Congress to secure an appropriation of $50,000 for the erection of a postofflce building in some thriving little city of his district, the aforesaid newspaper describes him as "the pork-barrel statesman from Squash Center ", but let that same representative rise on the floor arid advocate the expenditure of several millions of dollars for the construction of a marble palace in the city of Washington in which to transact the public business, and, ye gods, what a transformation.

The long-haired, hungry, cadatverouslooking "pork-barrel statesman from Squash Center" immediately becomes

Dr. Osier's contention was that tuberculosis is not hurtful unless one gets too much of it. Tuberculosis, shake hands with our friend, Tango.

It is reported that American farmers have gathered the biggest hay crop for forty years. Let's see—who was president ten administrations ago?

The pleasant city of Few Haven is getting a deal of undesirable advertising through the corporation which appropriated its name.

Maybe Huerta is going abroad to get up a match with Jack Johnson. These undefeated champions have to get together somehow.

The advertiser who announces '"bed blankets down" obviously has consideration for the comfort of his readers these hot nights.

"Huerta reaches seaport"—a good jumping-off place, one may imagine.

HOROSCOPE FOR A BAY.

Wednesday, July 23, 1914.

Astrology finds that today's influences are both good and evil. While Saturn and Jupiter are in benefic aspect Venus, Mars and the sun are adverse.

The day is a fortunate one for organization and economics. Concentration is believed .to be easily attained while the configuration prevails.

The aspect favors the occupation and the attainment of positions of trust and responsibility. While progress under this guidance of the ?tar3 may be slow, It is continuous. The ends of the .subject are advanced by subtlety and tact.

It is a favorable sway for the leasof property. Building, is subject to a lucky omen. Dealing? in real estate should bring profit while this rule prevail^.

As .the adverse sway of Mars has a tendency to increase rash and indiscreet acts this day's rule is particularly unfavorable.

France has an unfavorable augury ,for the autumn.. Trouble^ with foreign powers and loss of revenues a,re foretold. The ptetftige of the country as a center of fashion will diminish, the stars announce.

It is predicted that the- use of bombs for all sorts of outrages will become so frequeiit and so destructive to property and life that national attention will be concentrated on a means to prevent th6ir use.

Persons whose bjrthdate It Is have rather a threatening prognostication which gives warning of dissensions in the family and troubles -.\rlth employers. Devotion to work will conserve property, but care will be necessary to prevent big losses of money.

Children born on this day may have difficulty, in making money. Boys should be carefully trained in business methods. Girls may meet disappoint ments in marriage ^r friendships. These subjects of Leo should be ambitious, frank and generous. Many of them attain high office.

TEN YEARS AGO TODAY. From the Trlbwn* File*.

FAMILIAR QUOTATIONS.

For good or ill, for gladness or sorrow, Each day Is still the prophet of morrow. Wouldst know the fruitage?

See what bud is blowing. Wouldst know the harvest? Sete what seed is sowing. —Selected.

Any one can shout to the housetops and gather around him a crowd, But its the fellow who delivers the goods That holds a mob with a whisper. —Fern Eisora Tolley.

See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportionate thought his act. Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried. Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel: But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new hatched, unpledged comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, Bear 't that the opposed may beware of thee. Give every man thine ear but few thy voice

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

To the Editor of The Tribune: I see that in the editorial department of Tuesday's Tribune you head an article, "Dr. Kelley's Talk," and procee] to criticise an address which I delivered at Bethany assembly. The oasis of the editorial is an alleged report of the address in question- It vas fabricated by a cub reporter who did not take the trouble to interview me in regard to the subject matter, and who did not attend the meeting before which it was delivered. The whole address was a protest against th? use of "soft soap" as a social lubricant. I appreciate the honor of inspiring such a good editorial and ask that you permit me set myself rigut before my Terre Haute friends by publishing this explanation.
