THE POWER OF PEACE.

ttatil statesmen of Europe been as rise in handling their own problems as Woodrow Wilson was in handling

fthe

problems of the United States in HjMexico, suggests Francis Neilson, a member of the English parliament, the present war might never have occurred.

He bewails the fact that Mr. Wilson's policy of "patience and deep underStanding" was ignored to the ultimate detriment of governments and people alike. Says the British legislator: "President Wilson introduced morality into statesmanship, and the time is at hand when the people will turn to the man who realizes that there is not much morality to be gained from expediency. He is right, and the democratic leaders in Europe know he is right. All the people want In any country is justice. He put his finger on the sore in Mexico when he touched the land question. It is the land question that lies at the bottom of all our troubles in Europe. Just as President Wilson sees it In Mexico, so we see it here. It is the few landowners of Europe who make up the ruling class that CWWylies the diplomats, the militarists, Prijarmament makers, devise the laws, grpflinieter the laws and can, as we fotw see, bring a continent, within a days' time, into a conflagration pifhose glare glitters over the whole Ijvorld." J! Not everyone concurs In Joe Cannon's conclusions that "Our foreign policy has been one of Interminable blunder." Which probably explains

Maine's electing a democratic governor. The solia support of the president in the fall elections will serve notice on Europe that his brilliant guidance of this nation is appreciated at home.

INFLUENCE OF THE FAIR.

"Secretary Duffin, of the Vigo County

pair

association, expresses gratification over the fact that fair visitors are more and more interesting themselves ^n domestic exhibits and affairs of husbandry, and that the period of "the midway" and its frilvolty in connection with the county fair is on the decline.

In the list of premium winners an

nounced in the Tribune is a little miss of sixteen years from a rural community who won triple honors in the domestic department, surpassing thirty other contestants in her baking, canning and fancy work.

To win these honors she had baked a loaf of bread, a half dozen cookies, canned a quart of peaches and made a pint of grape jelly. She had also made for herself a cotton dress, an apron and a piece of fancy work.

It is of interest to note that much of the training for this work had been given her In the domestic science work of the school in the county where she lives. When the school was centralized and the domestic science departments developed under competent teachers, there was opened for her delight a new field of activity. Applying herself there as she had in the formal branches of education, she learned well and thoroughly how to do all these helpful things that successful women are supposed to know.

There Is always a place somewhere in the world for the girl who can bake and sew and can fruit. The place may not be conspicuous, but it will be important, and when the place finds the girl there will 'radiate from it an Influence which will make the community and the state better. Incidentally, the triumph of the country girl emphasizes what may be done along practical lines by a centralized rural school.

THE OUTLOOK.

The Fifth Indiana district is named by the New York Herald as one of the safe democratic districts in the approaching contest for the control of congress, which means the return to congress of Representative Ralph W. Moss, a forecast agreeable to most ol the voters of this district. ""Republicans have a fighting chance to come back into control of the house," declares the Herald, after a nation wide preliminary canvass of the situation, but whether republican "gains will be sufficient to wipe out entirely the big democratic majority of 145 In the house Is very doubtful at this time." "Democratic control of the senate for the next two years at least is practically assured," continues the Herald. "Democrats are assured even this early in the campaign of fifty-two seats." The total membership of tife senate fa ninety-six.

The New York Herald is an independent newspaper, with no marked leanings toward the Wilson administration. Wishes are fathering no thoughts In this preliminary surlvey of the national political field. Herald reporters in this canvass sought to establish facts, not to prove theories.

In the present house the democrats have a majority of 145. They, might lose seventy-two seats and still control by one. That some of the present large majority will be lost almost goes without saying. The situation is abnormal. Under the last administration a republican majority of forty-fiVe was deemed highly satisfactory democrats might now lose some fifty members and still have a majority of forty-five.

KEEP THE WHEELS TURNING.

Terre Haute wheel manufacturers have received invitations to the national meeting of the organization in Atlantic City, September 28 to October 2. The impression has gained currency, because of the popularity of the automobile, that carriages are no longer manufactured in very great quantities. Yet the committee on statistics at the convention will show that considerably over one million horse-drawn vehicles were built in this country last year.

Large as is this figure, it does not include business, farm or trucking wagons, but takes account only of such vehicles as the buggy, surrey, and other light carriages.

Statistics show that there were made on an average of a million to a million and a quarter horse-drawn spring vehicles each year for eight years prior to January 1, 1913, and during the year 1913 the number exceeded' 1,200,000. These figures, which are partly due to the increase in population, naturally inspire confidence in the present and the future of the carriage and wagon industry.

It is fair to assume that the vehicle product of 1913 was sold for more than $60,000,000. A minimum of $35,000,000 is invested in carriage factories in this country, to say nothing of the enormous capital involved in the wagon business while the investment in manufacturing establishments maJting materials and parts exclusively for horsedrawn vehicles is probably as much more.

The coming Atlantic City convention is the forty-eecond to be held by the vehicle men's organization, which was instituted in 1S72, making it one of the very oldest trade bodies in America. The association does not fix prices nor take any action In labor matters its functions are mainly directed to the uplift and advancement of the Industry, and to the promotion of a friendly spirit among its members.

Terre Haute figures large in the affairs of the association. The largest exclusive wheel works in the world is located here with favorable and prosperous conditions in the trade, favorable and prosperous conditions redound to the benefit of many citizens.

Herman Prox is home, and denies that he was drafted as a cook in the German army. So there will have to be some other explanation for the heavy casualties among the kaiser's soldiers.

According to Bernard Shaw war should be made as awful as possible. From a dramatist who contributes chocolate soldiers to the stage this sounds a trifle absurd.

If the rumor that peace was coming could send the price of wheat a long ways downward, what can be expected when we hear the fluttering of her wings?

In a quiet and orderly manner Japan is understood to be running steadily narrowing circles about the obstinate governor of Kiau-Chau.

A New York hotel has sued a woman for a $5,000 board bill. What did she order—imported champagne, or a porterhouse steak?

Incomplete returns from Arkansas again indicate what the complete returns always prove—that the state is still democratic.

Society note: The military excursion party which has been summering in Vera Cruz leaves for the north at an early date.

Landladies and some others will be delighted to learn that the war does not affect the price of prunes.

Lots of fancy stock raised on that Demlng lot. So it ought to produce a few good bull moosers.

TALIESIN'S SWORD.

One of the quaintest of all Welsh customs Is the. unsheathing of the sword of Taliesin, that takes place every year qn the shores of Llyn Geirionydd, near Trefrlw, North Wales.

A short distance from the lake is a large, fiat-topped bowlder, supposed to have been Taliesin's pulpit. On this rock the old bard (who is said to have flourished about 540 A. D.) performed his weird religious rites, and ever since the rock has been known as the "Court of Taliesin."

Once a year, in August, a group of bards assemble, at the "court"—the chief bard standing on the rock, and the others on a circle of white stones surrounding it. Ilerp the rites are performed solemnly and quaintly in the presence of a large crowd.

The naked sword Is returned to Its sheath when the chief bard has ascertained from the people that there Is peace in the lapd. The sword remained unsheathed during the three years of the Boer war.

The ancient ceremony is followed by witty and humorous bardic addresses, recitations ana sons,—Brooklyn Citizen,
