THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN.

Occasionally a bit of war news rivets attention on what war really is. An item in the Tribune yesterday told how a British ship commander tied a German sailor in the bow of the boat. If the German would not point out the mines in the ship's course why naturally the ship would be blown up and the German would go skyward with the first consignment. Rather neat, but grewsome. No war has been so fertile in ideas.

A defense against hostile aeroplanes and dirigibles is suggested by an American army officer. It is merely the floating of a large number of small captive balloons, each loaded with dynamite, above a city which is to be defended. Inasmuch as attacks from the air are usually made at night the balloons would be invisible. With great satisfaction to almost etveryone they would blow to bit any aerial nocturnal prowler bent on dropping bombs on a sleeping city.

It is to be hoped that the idea can be worked out and made practical. The horror of the aerial bomb dropper is the most detestable innovation of the present war. It is an innovation which should be eliminated. Shooting down whole meadows of men with machine guns is not so repulsive to civilization as the dropping of dynamite on women, children and hospitals.

THE SANER DAY.

Governor Ralston in his keynote speech of the campaign calls attention to the emphatic" influence of President Wilson for world peace, and expresses the belief that this influence of the president soon will be instrumental in ending the awful struggle that is laying waste to Europe. The news dispatches of the day confirm the governor's belief.

The complaisant, if not definitely favorable, attitude of Germany toward suggestions of American mediation

may be Interpreted as an auspicious sign. It does not mean that Germany considers herself beaten, but it does, apparently, indicate that the kaiser is willing to forego the pleasure of completely crushing his enemies. What terms would be acceptable are, ol course, beyond the knowledge of anyone outside of the innermost circles of the Berlin government.

That a similar attitude is not sumed by the anti-German allies may or may not be due to the recent military successes in France and Galicia. The allies apparently feel that Germany must be thoroughly humbled, so that the danger may be forever removed.

Winston Churchill recently declared that the war was for the life of Great Britain or the "Wife of Germany, and that it must be fought to the annihilation of one power or the other.

It may be hoped, as Governor Ralston says, that as the weariness, the suffering, the cruelty of the war accumulates week after week, there may be a dawning of more moderate counsel.

STRAW HATS.

A puzzled correspondent write® In to Inquire what is the "official" date for leaiving off straw hats. There has been some quandary over the matter, September 1 being accepted as the time in some parts of the country, and September 15 being the date accepted in other parts of the country.

The advance in Intelligence among even the lowest orders of non-reflective matter is very gratifying. The retiring date for straw hats was duly mentioned in the daily press and the straws thereupon retired with promptness and great steadiness. A few straws that do not read the papers are hanging over, but the great bulk of the summer headgear delayed not in its departure.

No self-respecting straw hat is willing to subject itself to the indignity of a smashing. In a few cases, where the owner is big and husky, the hat may take the risk—more especially if it is a hat that loves adventure. For the most part though, the straw prefers the dust heap to the risk of being assaulted and insulted.

All of which is highly gratifying to those persons who belietve in the eternal fitness of things—more especially as to time and place.

So this matter is disposed of. The really crucial problem that attaches to the matter of headgear is this question:

Why is a derby hat? There is a question, like the age of Ann and the Billy Patterson affair, that never has been cleared up.

THREE CENT FARES.

Government by injunction is having another wonderful demonstration in Toledo, O., where the traction magnates have applied this handy agency of the law to prevent the people from geting three-cent fares. The long traction controversy entered another stage there Tuesday when an injunction by the federal court became effective, suspending the effect of a three-cent fare ordinance. Toledo is passing through

An odd result of this dispute between city and company has been that hundreds of passengers have ridden free since last March, the corporation refusing to accept three cents and these car riders refusing to pay more. This free riding, apparently, will cease under the federal injunction.

Pending the settlement of the injunction issue, the terms of an agreement made by Brand Whitlock when he was mayor will probably be followed, by which the fare will be three cents during, the .rush -hours,, night-and morning, and at the rate of six tickets for a quarter at other times. This schedule was fixed as a temporary plan, pending a permanent settlement of the whole controversy.

It is announced by cable that Mary Garden lost her entire theatrical wardrobe in France. Perhaps some wounded soldier mistook it for a first-aid package.

Governor Ralston's resume of the democratic party's achievements refutes the theory that representative government has-failed to represent.

TELEPHONE SOCIETY ELECTS.

Bell People Hold Annual Meeting of Organization. The following officers were elected at the annual meeting of the Terre Haute Bell Telephone society, held at the club rooms, in the telephone building, on Ohio street, Tuesday night: Frank Porter, president Charles Chambers, vicc-president Frank Bailey, sergeant at arms. E. S. Denny, Geo. H. Shouse and Fred VanCourt were admitted to membership in the club.

After the close of the business meeting an interesting program was rendered, including a series of comic stereopticon pictures thrown on a screen by W. A. Show, and a paper giving the history of telephones, by Manager F. H. KissliVig. Sandwiches and lemonade were served by the retiring officers of the society. Albert Vanell and Herman Irminger. Out of town guests were E. L. Hamlin, former local manager, now district plant chief: Ray Daniels, construction foreman and C. E. Lee, right of way man all of Indianapolis.

HOROSCOPE FOR A DAY.

Thursday, Sept. 17, 1914s

This la a, day rather fortunate for early In the morning both Jupiter and Venn* are in benefle aspect. Later Mars and the sun exercise a helpful influence, while Mercury and Saturn are mildly adverse.

The rule should be a favorable one for soldiers and surgeons. It is held that Mars gives courage, resourcefulness and perseverance. This planet is believed to be especially powerful as the star of strength and earnestness, controlling those who have reason to concentrate their minds on a task or a purpose.

Under today's rule the best influences are said to govern men and women who have great missions or avocations. Those who concern themselves with altruistic or philanthropic movements should benefit.

At the beginning of the year Mars in square to the radical sun, with Uranus transiting the sun's place at the ruler's birth and Mars passing over the ascendant were read as in-
