A SUPPLICATION,

In every Terre Haute church of every denomination a prayer will ascend today that war may cease. The chief executive of the nation named this day, October 4, as a day on which God-fear-ing Americans are to pray for the restoration of peace in Europe. That his appeal will have a general and fervent response is not to be douot.?d. "^hat this is to be taken as the begin,'ng of an effort at mediation is rerted in "Washington, but it is the kind effort which can hardly obtain dip•itfjc recognition. Nevertheless the v.-s -th millions of church people in tne .^yi States can offer up their pravt,.r peace in all sincerity. Peace is arnestly desired by the whole nation.

THE NIGHT SCHOOL.

Prof. Herbert Briggs, head of the nual training department of the city **1 ols, in an article in the Tribune

Hr?eral days ago, made the startling Statement that last year in Indiana ihere were 25,000 "drifters" in the state .^"Indiana, children between the ages

14 and 16, not regularly affiliated jtvith school. He expressed the belief jthat the new vocational training law •f ssed by the last legislature will meet jj's situation, which he says presents one of the greatest problems of ouv civilization. In this connection it is interesting to note what other communities are doing.

JEN YOU WANT TO LAUGH-EAT

If You Want to Eat Without Food Fears Take a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet After

Each Meal.

Laughter, smiles and mirth never with a "caved-in" stomach. Fancy -man-afraid-of-his food laughing! here is always that hauntins feelig that a sick stomach is norhing to mirthful about.

'My old grouchy days are funny to now." Just make up your mind lo help nature help herself. Give your body a chance to make good. Hi-il the taw edges of yoi.r stomach and gi\e your blood the tools to iT.^ke digestive fluids with.

Thei-o is only one ^ay to make the body well—give it the ^hanoe to niake itself well. Harmful and strong nedicines handicap the system. twart's Dyspepsia Tablets go in'o the stomach just like food. They are dissolved and there thoy strengthen the weakened juices of the dis^stive apratue until the rMge-stion is made formal.

There is nothing mysterious or magical about them. Science bus proved that certain ingredients make {jp the digestive juices. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are these concentrated ingredients—that is all there is to it. One grain of a certain ingredient contained in Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will--digest 3,000, grains of food. This illustrates how you aid nature to restore her worn-out material?. When a stomach which is filled with food receives a Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablet, it is more able to digest the food than it would be without it. Th? work is not so hard nor the task so long.

When the meal is finally assimilated the entire system absorbs more nourishment and harmful food effects are eliminated easily, quickly and with'the majcimum of benefit. y% Every drug store carrics Stuart's dyspepsia Tablets. To anyone wisha free trial of these tablets tee -address P. A. Stuart Co., 150

the elementary schools of the city, is one of the signs of the times. It is understood that these shops will be so distributed that nearly every boy in the seventh or eighth grade who desires it will have an opportunity for practical work, says the Philadelphia Enquirer. We already have a number of excelltent manual training schools and others where handiwork is taught, and these, in addition to the shops that are proposed, will place Philadelphia well in the lead of the cities that are going in for vocational training. The proper education of children is one of the problems never fully solved. It is evident that thousands of pupils quit school without any adequate idea of their future or how they efcpect to earn a livelihood. If this new vocational work proves to be of any value to this large and growing class, its establishment will be a blessing indeed.

A GENTLE REMINDER.

Efvery citizen concurs in Mr. Roosevelt's notions of the good things that can be accomplished in the interests of humanity by national legislation, but he is not the only force at work in this direction.

The reports of Mr. Roosevelt's speeches in which he is declaring day after day that the democratic party is opposed to federal legislation against child labor have called forth the following statement from Owen R. Lovejoy, general secretary of the national child labor committee: "Mr. Roosevelt seems to be unaware of the changes in congress and the advance of public sentiment since the days when he was president and the Beveridge child labor bill was pending and he Ignores the fact that today a child labor bill, Introduced by the chairman of the democratic caucus, is pending before the house of representatives. It has among its supporters Oscar Underwood, majority leader of the house Speaker Clark, Senator Gallinger, Congressman Rupley, a progressive from Pennsylvania, and other leading men of all parties. "We have no desire to enlist In a partisan controversy. We feel that since federal child labor legislation has been recognized by men of all political parties as right and necessary, it is unfair for any one party to attempt to make political capital out of this particular issue. Mr. Roosevelt is a member of our committee and a warm friend of our work, but loyalty to our friends in other camps compels us to remind him and his allies of the Pal-mer-Owen child labor bill which they have evidently overlooked."

That would seem to be a fair statement and from a reliable source. Too, such recognition is fine encouragement for public men trying to do their duty.

FAIR WARNING.

The notion prevails pretty generally that President Wilson has sought to do the right thing. That is conceded by everyone. Many citizens who have a high regard for patriotic performance consider President Wilson one of the ablest executives the country has ever had. Hugh Th. Miller, republican candidate for senator, who spoke here Friday evening, is one of the few public men seeking to advance himself by caustic criticism of the president. Mr. Miller quotes voluminously from the Indianapolis News.

The Indianapolis News pretends to support Woodrow Wilson and his policies, and yet it is now advocating the election of Mr. Miller and thirteen republican congressmen who, if successful, will oppose in the national congress, as they now oppose on the stump in Indiana, every policy advocated and put forward by President Wilson.

Hugh Miller and the republican candidates for congress oppose the Underwood tariff law. (And the Indianapolis News, by the way, pretends to favor this law).

Miller and the republican candidates for congress criticize the administration's "watchful waiting" policy in Mexico.

They belittle the new currency law. They condemn the income tax law. In fact, there has been nothing done by President Wilson or the democratic congress that has escaped their denunciation or criticism.

The Indianapolis News, mind you, pretends to stand for the president and his achievements, and yet it advises you to vote for Miller and the republican candidate for congress.

Senator Shively and the present democratic congressmen from Indiana, all of whom are candidates for re-election, have given President Wilson staunch support in all of his policies. They have stood firmly by him, and the voters of Indiana will do well to think this over carefully before voting to send to congress men who will do everything In their power, to obstruct the national administration in its work of reform and progress.

The Indianapolis News is not for Wilson. Its advocacy of President Wilson's policies Is only hypocritical.

It gives fulsome praise to the president and then tells you to vote against his supporters and to send to congress men who will oppose the president in everything.

EJvery fair-minded citizen can draw his own'conclusions.

Dayton and Kansas CttjLjare having

It was in Fort Madison, la., where the Senior Wise lHved at the time, the father of1 the subject of this sketch being engaged in the fire insurance business there. The grandfather gave the insurance on his house to his grand son, making the latter feel like a man, and determining that fire insurance should be his life work. Ho has been at it every since, and for the past fifteen years has been state agent and adjuster for the London Assurance company, one of the largest and most substantial of the foreign companies doing business in the United States. He gave up his connection with' that company to come to Terre Haute, feeling that there was a field here for the kind of technical work along insurance lines to which his major years have been devoted.

Mr. Wise is a native of Missouri, the "Show Me" state, and perhaps for that reason he has been devoting the best years of his life to showing people what is best and safest in insurance. As an adjuster for the London Assurance he gained a knowledge of how fire insurance rates are made that he believes he can bring to the minds of Terre Haute business men in a way that will lessen their liability to fires and therefore bring them a reduction in their rates, and insuring them greater safety from losses. "Fire prevention," said Mr. Wise to a Tribune reporter, "is like disease prevention, where an ounce of prevention is acknowledged to be better than a pound of cure. A knowledge of t'ne technical side of fire insurance en-

Tli&RE HAUTE TRIBUNE

How I Earned My First Dollar

Gus M. Wise, who recently joined forces with Fox & Pflster, Insurance agents, becoming a member of the firm, made his first dollar soliciting insurance back _,ln,, 1885, when he was ten years old, and he has been everlastingly at it ever since. It doesn't mar the story, either, that the patronage n.solicited was that of* his grandfather, and that his father was the insurance agent who allowed him a dollar for hi: share of the premium for securing the business.

A marriage license was issued Scott C. Hanna and Ida E. White. Flans and specifications were received from the treasury department, at Washington, for an electric elevator to be installed in the post office building.

S. M. Reynolds and Mlax Ehrmann were appointed delegates from the Terre Haute Literary club to a meeting of the Federation of Clubs, which was held In Fort Wayne.

BOOKS WORTH WHILE.

A series of suggestive titles furnished to The Tribune by the Emeline Fairbanks Memorial library.

Ten Best Novels.

Dickens—"David Copperfield." Scott—"Ivanhoe" Eliot—"Adam Bede." Hawthorne—"Scarlet Letter." Thackeray—"Vanity Fair." Bronte—"Jane Eyre." Stowe—"Uncle Tom's Cabin." Thackeray—"The Newcomes." Victor Hugo—"Les Miserables." Mulock—"John Halifax, Gentleman."

PASSING THOUGHTS.

A fault-finder Is never a man of action. Fault-finding is the easiest thing that a fool does.

Nobody's work is as easy as it seems to be to onlookers. Trains of thought are often derailed by a flood of talk.

Truth is attractive to some persons only if it's as picturesque as a lie. Old age is the payment that nature exacts for the blessing of a long life.

Every woman believes she can see how her husband could have made a lot of money.

Some persons' idea of fame is to get their names in a newspaper in a list of "among those present.'

Wherever a house is being built, all the neighbors disagree upon how it could have been bCiUerdeianned.

GUS M. WISE.

ables one to convince a possible patron how he can, perhaps, by a few changes in the arrangement of his property, lessen the risk of fire, and therefore enable him to secure a policy at a lower rate."

Mr. Wise has been living in Indiana for the past twelve years, and before that spent several years in Illinois and Michigan, all the time engaged in the business that seemed attractive in his eyes when he solicited the business of his grandfather back in Iowa nearly thirty yeaTs ago. He has enlisted for the war, and will make his home in Terre Haute. He will move his family from Indianapolis as soon as he secures a suitable home, and become an active member of the crowd of business enthusiasts who are making Terre Haute's name prominent in the business parts of the world.

HOROSCOPE FOR A DAY.

Monday, October 5, 1914.

According to astrology, this is not a very fortunate day, for Mars and Neptune both are strongly adverse. Mercury, however, is in a place held to be most fortunate for many important affairs of men.

Mercury coming into conjunction with Mars on this day in the martial sign of Scorpio is believed to foreshadow troubles for California. Accidents on railways in India are predicted.

This is a lucky date upon which to sign important papers. Contracts, leases and agreements of every sort made under this configuration should be satisfactory, bringing gain and success.

Advertisers, writers, publishers and editors should benefit from this sway of the stars. It is newspapers will lose large amounts of money, but will gain greatly before the new year.

Teachers anti students are subject to a good leading today. The astral government is supposed to impart keenness and alertness to the mind, at the saime time increasing receptivity and adaptibilitv.

Neptune foreshadows naval activities in which our vessels sail on Pacific waters.

Soothsayers foretell great responsibilities for women in all parts of the world and they declare that ihis country will face new problems in providing for foreign refugees after the world war.

Toward the end of this month a sinister sign menaces New York and renewed anxiety in the financial world is foretold. Days of extreme excitement are prognosticated.

Persons whose birthdate it is have the omen of a busy year that may bring numerous anxieties. Danger of accident or injury is foretold.

Children born on this day are likely to be unusually brilliant and promising. Success as physicians or chemists is probable. Both boys and girls should be exceedingly fortunate in Mfe.

The banquet which capable Martha prepared was her way of honoring and thanking lesus for restoring: her brother. But Mary cOuld not share in such service. Her fingers were all thumbs. When she cooked she spoilt everything. When she waited on table she spilled everything. What could she do to show her gratitude?

Ah, that little vial of exquisite perfume, put carefully away to anoint her shroud: worth a year's wages her one treasure. Should she lavish it on Jesus?

Love gave the answer. Quickly she ran and seized it. With tremblingly eager hands she crushed it above his head, a fitting expression of her overflowing heart.

Judas' protest showed that, besides being a'grafter, he was loveless. Practical, calculating men today who criticise revival meetings and gifts to missions are largely loveless. "Mere sentiment," they would say. So is patriotism, and chivalry, and mother-love. But ihow cold the world would be without them.

The laborer taking home a dozen carnations to celebrate the wedding anniversary will work all the harder to provide daily bread for the home because of the sentiment back of it. The flowers mav soon fade, but the sentiment that they represent will perfume the heart of that wife throughout the year.

Jesus cared far more for Mary's act of devotion than for the dainties that Martha heaped upon his plate. In the midst of enemies and about to be betrayed by a friend, lie was heart hungry, and"the only cure for heart hunger is love. Mary, by her srreat sacrifice, gave him what he lonsred for.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.

Mark Twain's War Map. To the Editor of The Tribune:—The reproduction in the Tribune, of Friday, of Mark Twain's war map and humorously descriptive article written for the Buffalo Express, in 1870, at the time of the Franco-Prussion war, calls to mind a later effort of his on war but which was not published .at the time he wrote it. This was a few years

prophesied that befoffc-his death and he took a more serious view of the hideous war than he did at the time of his map making fun more than thirty years earlier.

The later writing was a prayer. His friends dissuaded him from publishing it. because it would be regarded as a sacrilege. A regiment is supposed to have gathered in a church before it departs for war to pray for victoiy. A white-robed stranger enters and says: "I have been sent by the Almighty to tell you that He will grant your petition it' vou still desire it after I have explained to you its full import. You are asking for more than you seem to be aware of. You have prayed aloud fcr victory over your foes, bu' listen now to the unspoken portion of your prayer, and ask yourselves if this is what you desire.

Then the stranger speaks aloud three implications of their words: "Oh, Lord, help us to tear the soldiers of the foe t( bloody shreds with our shells help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead: help us to lay waste to their humble hemes with a hurricane of fire help us to wring the hearts of their l.noffonding widows with unavailing grief. Blast their hopes, blight their Hvce, water their way with their tear3."

Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 4

BY' REV. W. O. ROGERS, PLHIOl'Tff CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.

"Christ Anointed for Burial," Mark 14:1-11.

Immediately after raising Lazarus from the dead, Jesus considerately slipped away, leaving them to their joy. A week later, he who had no home, returned to rest a little time In the home of these friends.

REV. W. O, ROGERS.

"f?he hath anointed me beforehand for mv burial." Notice Jesus' words of praise, "She hath done what she could." It was not an excuse for her doing so little, but an exclamation of delight over her doing so much. "She hath done her utmost." Mary had aualified for rank with the poor widow who gave all her living. We cannot .ioin such high company until we not only lay all our treasures at Jesus' feet, but are vvillinf? to lot our love flow out to the hungry-hearted about us. "Do you

WASHINGTON,' D. C., Oct. 3.—The diplomats of Europe who were quite convinced that Bryan was "making us the laughing stock of Europe" because of hi3 Mexican policy, which has prevented a war with the southern republic, continue to demonstrate their crud ity and the necessity of learning a little of Bryanistic common senee. The latest blunder was made by Von Shoen, secretary of the German embassy, who was stationed at Tokio until the dec laration of war between Japan and Germany, when he was transferred to the United States. The first act of Von Shoen, who undoubtedly thinks Bryan and Wilson very crude, you know, was to give out an elaborate interview, in which he solemnly assured the United States that the United States is thoroughly hated all over Japan, and that all Japanese are look ing forward with eagerness to what they, consider an inevitable war. between the two countries.

With a delightful lack of a sense of humor, the count—whatever that is— also assures us that the Germans are awfully popular in Japan—the war between the two countries being considered overwhelming evidence in verification of the count's contention. The interview was quite a scream. It was partly anti-American but the purpo6e rather stupidly masked, and stupidity seems to be the prevailing characteristic of that European diplomacy, which so recently thought Bryan's diplomacy funny, was to stir up feeling in this country against the allies.

Sad Jolt for the Count.

'Of course, such a stupid act as that of Von Shoen is calculated to stir up feeling against the kaiser and would but for the fact that no one is going to hold the great German people responsible for the silly chatter of a silly diplomat. But on with the story, well, the interview appeared originally in the Washington Post, a morning paper.

The Star and Times, afternoon papers, also printed it. The following morning there appeared in the Post, with comment, a little letter to the editor from Von Shoen, denying the interview and asking that his denial be printed. The editors of the evening papers, not being such snobs as John R. McLean and having some regard for their reporters, did not print the letter without comment. The Times published it at the head of an editorial and then proceeded to say that upon reading the Von Shoen Interview in the Post the editor was amazed at what seemed to be an insufferably stupid and unpardonable blunder on the part of a person pretending to be a diplomat that he consequently assigned the most reliable man connected with the editorial departments to verify the interview before publishing that the reporter did talk with Von Shoen and that Von Shoen assured the reporter that the interview was precisely what he had given out and the interview was printed accordingly. The Star said that it, too, thought the interview quite retnarl able to
