While Mr. Bryan is effecting new peace treaties with twelve or fourteen nations some super-critical newspapers take the present war In Europe to attempt to prc*ve the futility of Mr. Bryan's pains. They ask, why did not the neutrality treaty between Belgium and Germany estop war there? Treaties are not absolute, but they are highly persuasive. They may be broken when It comes to a test, but generally they hpld good. They do not afford a certain guarantee of peace, but at least they- make for it powerfully.

These treaties provide a means whereby hasty action may be prevented, due consideration of the issues had,

excited national feeling given a change to subside and a peaceable solution aided.

At this moment there is available no better method of assuring peace to the United States than the conclusion of such treaties. The provisions of them are so reasonable that a violation by one of the contracting nations is most improbable.

These treaties practically insure our neutrality during the preser European war. Our points of contact are chiefly with the allies, because of their control of the seas. And points of contact imply the possibility of quarrels.

By pledging ourselves to submit all our disputes with England and France to a permanent commission and to concede that commission a year for investigation and report we have placed a barrier against war that both sides appreciate and will be only too willing to respect.

THE FATE OF ANTWERP.

Dispatches yesterday confirmed the news that Antwerp has fallen an«i is in the hands of the Germans. The city has suffered heavily, but it Is to be hoped that it will be spared the ill-for-tunes of war which made of Louvain a smouldering ruins. The reports of the German generals breathe an admiration for the bravery of the Belgians In face of tremendous odds. But such is Belgian history. Such is the record of Belgian soldiery from the day that a diminutive force of Belgians nearly defeated the legions of Caesar on the banks of the Sambre In 57 B. C.

It is from this stock that the Belgians of today are descended. The men who held Liege against the Germans until their forts were shot to pieces by those marvelous siege guns, and who checked the advance of the kaiser's legions until France could muster her strength for defense, are just as heroic as their ancestors. General Leman, who commanded Liege, finding his fort rendered defenceless, blew it up and himself along with it. By one of those inexplicable chances of war he escaped death and was picked up unconscious by the Germans and made a prisoner, but with the honors due his heroic resistance.

The whole story of Belgium's part in the present war reads like a fable from some martial age, and not like the sober record of the most populous and most Industrious country of Europe. The Belgians are farmers and manufacturers. They are noted for the arts of peace, and for social progress. They were, perhaps, up to the hour that their country was invaded, one of the happiest, most prosperous and most progressive peoples of Europe. They numbered 7,000,000. Today half of Belgium is a waste, with cities and towns destroyed, fields and factories ruined and the people either exiles or living in poverty in the ruins of their homes.

INDIANA'S BIRTHDAY.

Preliminary announcements have been received at the Fairbanks library of the Indiana state centennial celebration, the wtent and scope of which will be determined by the citizens of the state at the coming election. Public institutions and the newspapers are being asked to enlighten the people on the matter.

Indiana will reach her 100 years of statehood in 1916, and whether the state will celebrate the centennial in a highly creditable and sensible waywill be determined at the election next month, when voters of all parties will express themselves on the subject by ballot, those fatvoring a celebration so indicating by voting "yes."

The question of observing the centennial was before the last legislature, which referred the question to the people, who are to express themselves at the next election.

Since the legislature acted, there has developed a strong opinion throughout the state, that Indiana, rich in resources and patriotism, and far advanced in civic and natural development, should celebrate her 100th birthday in a manner that will be in keeping with her dignity and wealth. Historical societies, civic and patriotic organizations of many kinds, the educational forces, haive expressed themselves in favor of marking the centennial year with a lasting monument in the form of a memorial building which will in many ways adorn and serve the needs of the state.

That the centennial year will be observed in numerous other ways is already assured. It promises to be a busy year in colleges and schools in thp study of Indiana history. It is also proposed to give some historical pageants on very elaborate scale, and plans are under consideration for holding a great exposition of the state's^ natural and manufactured resources.

MAKING TWO BLADES GROW.

In the Sunday issues of a number of newspapers of September 20, there appeared quite a large nd offering town lots in British Columbia. The claim is put out that buyers of these lots will make fortunes in the near fut ure.

The parties behind this offer were undoubtedly expecting a big run of investors for these lots. They are doomed to disappointment, for conditions are decidedly against them. Leaving the Question of the pi'esent or ospcciive

Mr. Darling is married and lives with his family on North Seventh street,

value of these town lots out of consideration, there could not have been selected for such a sale a more unfavorable condition than prevailing at present. ,,

Three years ago there was going on a big boom in building lots and acre tracts in the Pacific coast provinces of Canada, and thousands of investors were caught„,and. lost heavily. The, boom was overdone. Lots were sold at fabulous prices. They are now unsalable. No man familiar with the wild land boom in Canada will now put. a cent into farm lands or lots in western Canada. Thousands would like to get out.

Developments of the past few yearj have taught the farmer that farms in the Wabash valley, if given the care and attention which is required by the broad stretches in Canada, not only are more productive, but are nearer the market. Too, scientific farming as applied now in this state is deterring the Indiana farmer from letting go of his productive acres.

A Terre Haute mlftlWter explains the ascent of the Boston team with the statement that the jBostons represent a positive changed to a negative. Tuesday will determine if Mr. Stallings may keep the change.

Uncle Joe Cannon calls the Roosevelt parade in Indianapolis a funeral procession. Still it takes a pretty prominent citizen to get out eight thousand people at his funeral.

Any citizen who appears not to have a care in the world can immediately be suspected of having a little bet down on Boston.

If many more districts go dry, some one will have to start a "Buy a Bal« of Corn" movement.

Terre Haute should put on her best bib and tucker for the Federated Commercial Clubs.

Connie Mack and the Rose Poly football team can condole with each other.

HUMAN NATURE.

I wish had a syllabub, a protoplasm and A large three-cornered cumberbund, a haggi in each hand I could not tell you what they are, if failing I'd be shot: Tiie reason v. hy I want them, is because I have them not.

There are some incidental features of the account which should claim our attention first. At the outset there is the method of selecting the room in which the Last Supper should be celebrated. Jesus gives the disciples to understand that the place would be prepared, ready and waiting for them. Here we find an example of the way in which men and emergencies are seemingly planned for each other. Just as the disciples found the man carrying water, who afterwards led.them to the communion chamber, so also do we discover a preparedness of the field when we are willing to follow the behests of the Master.

There is also a significant fact in the dish that was passed to all the disciples and by which Jesus identified the betrayer, since this dish, containing a compound of bitter herbs, was a symbol of fellowship and companionship. It seems almost unhtinkable that one should take this pledge of comradeship and brotherhood and have the intent to betray in his heart, as did Judas.

The principal feature of the lesson, however, is a doctrinal one. Without raising a question as to the intrinsic worth of any sacrament, we are profited to note the underlying truth which tlie holy communion symbolizes, namely, the atonement in Christ. It is probable that we are leaving this doctrine out of our modern theology to a disastrous extent. We agree that He gave us the supreme illustration of how to live and die for humanity. The mere example, however, is not the sum total of the atonement. Christ's sacrifice, tvpified by the bread and wine, contains the essence of spiritual reconciliation.

This sacrifice was not so much a uronitiation to an ahgry God. as it was the God In man, suffering through love, to establish right relationships and saving grace in the heart of.humanity.

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE

How I Earned My First Dollar

A "back to the soil" movement would strike favorably Charles L. Darling, the new manager of the Sherman $10 store, at 416 Wabash avenue, for there is where he came from and back on his father's farm, in Erie county, O., he earned his first dollar shoveling wheat. He didn't stick to the farm.' however, but moved to the city and began his business career as a grocery, clerk. Ho soon gave that up to engage in the clothing business and has followed that for more than sixteen years, The greater portion of this time he has been with the S. N. Mendelssohn's Sons' Co., owners of the series of Sherman $10 stores, which are located in twenty-five of the prosperous cities I of the country. He was manager of, the Sherman store at Toledo, and was recently transferred to the local establishment. Mr. Darling is an enthusiast on the $10 suits and overcoats sold by the Sherman stores. "How can we do it., you ask," he said. "Why purchasing a factory output of cloths and putting the ready to wear garments in the hands of the purchaser without the intervention of a middleman. We are so absolutely sure of our product that every garment we handle is sold with a distinct guarantee that it will hold its shape and color. Any customer who is in good faith dissatisfied with his purchase is given his money back without a murmur. It is that plan of conducting the business that has made the stores so successful wherever they have been opened."

and during his brief residence here his become imbued with the spirit ofhustle that properly is an attribute of every Terre Hautean. He likes Terre Haute and her people and says the Sherman store here is destined to become one of the most successful of the long- string that extends through the middle west.

HOROSCOPE FOR A DAY.

Monday, October 12, 1914.

This is a doubtful day, according to the reading of the stars, for the sun is strongly adverse in its influence. In the afternoon Venus changes from evil to beneflc aspect..

It is not an auspicious time for seeking new positions or making any move that carries future responsibility. Under this sign it is held that just enough success comes to insure severe disappointment.

There is a sinister sign governing association with persons of prominence. Men and women in positions of power are apt to be exceedingly arrogant and domineering. It will be well to delay requests for aid or support until a more propitious rule operates.

Saturn gives great gains to those who deal in coal in the United States, There is a prophecy that immense draughts on the season's supply will be made from the orient.

Persons whose birthdate it is have rather an anxious year before them, so far as business and financial affairs are concerned. Men should be careful of new enterprises. Those who aro» fcmp?oyes ehould be extraordinarily diligent.

Children born on this day may be rather unlucky. They should be trained most carefully to a business or professional career. Girls may "marry worry." These subjects of Libra have Venus as their principal ruling planet.

Sunday School Lesson for Oct. 11

BY REV. O. E. MARK, CENTENARY M. E. CHURCH.

The international lesson for this Sunday deals with the account of the Last Supper. To those who understand it best this is one of the most sacred passages of scripture.

REV. O. E. MARK.

It is really not so much God killing His own Son, as it was deeply wounding Himself in such an. attempt to recover for humanity its lost estate, that it surpasses human endurance.

Thus the holy communion is not an empty form pointing to an outgrown theology, but it reaily represents the most subtle and serious form of expi essing the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man-

WASHINGTON, If. C., Oct. 10.—At length the Clayton anti-trust bill has passed and without the wrecking of the democratic party. The flght waged in the senate under the leadership of Senator Reed against the conference report, which moderated some of the penalties, was eagerly seized upon by the Opposition press as evidence of a serious rebellion within the ranks ot the government forces, and many columns of sensational stuff has been written in an effort to create the Impression that Woodrow Wilson is now confronted by an insurrection.

The plain truth is that the conference report did not meet with the unquall fied approval of every member of either branch of congress. But as is the case with all legislation the ulti mate bill had to be a compromise. It is and always has been out of compromises that all good has come. Because it was too much to hope for anything more drastic than the bill as it was reported by the conferees, the president accepted the bill which is by long odds the most virile bit of anti-trust legislation evqr enacted in this country. But always there are men who jan see but little of good in anything which does not meet with their unqualified approval. These men are honest but they are seriously mistaken in the theory that in legislation they can always get precisely their own way. Senator Reed is an exceptionally able man and has his pronounced views on all legislation proposed. Because his views are pronounced he is unable to compromise.

Reed's Position.

Thus he has scarcely ever curing the Wilson administration been able to enthusiastically support the legislation enacted. He was called an "insurrectionist" during, the tariff fight: he lead a rather serious disturbance in connection wth currency reform, and he

has

had divergent views on the trust

question. Here in Washington it is understood that Reed is fundamentally a democrat and that his motives are pure. The effect of his frequent disagreements, however, will probabiy be to create the impression in Missouri that he is antagonistic to the president. The result of this impression may be a pitv in view of his .great abilty. However, he is plowing his own Held.

congressman from Missouri and this man asscred me that any congressman in Missouri who was known to be unfriendly to Woodrow'Wilson would be swept off the map. Another congressman from Missouri who encountered opposition at the primary and desired an indorsement from Wilson to aid him in his flght for a renomination and was naturally refused took a philosophical view of the matter: "Very w.ell,'* said the philosopher, "if Wilson will not indorse me I will indorse him." And at that he prepared a strong statement indorsing everything the president has done. He was renominated. With such a sentiment In Missouri it will be conceded that Senator Reed is indeed courageous to lay himself open to even a suspicion of opposition to the president.

Labor Provisions.

Apropos of the Clayton bill: This is the bill containing the provisions in which organized labor has been interested. On the day preceding the vote in the senate, Senator Kern was deluged with telegrams and letters from labor organizations in Indiana, one from Terre Haute, isisting that he stand firm, for the demands of the laboring people. Then it developed on investigation that some one here in Washington, a malicious and probably a mendacious liar, had sent out the story tjjiat Kern was in doubt. That this lie was premeditated is evident in the fact that Kern had lead the flght for the labor provisions just as he has lead every other labor fight since he has been in the senate, from West Virginia on down. Demands have been made for the sponsor of the canard,

Assuming'that he is one of the logto-'" lative agents of the labor unions, It only illustrates the truth of an observation I made through these columns long ago, to the effect that there are really too many labor agents In Wash-" ington who hob-nob with men who are unfriendly to labor.

Mann—Fire Brand.

It is utterly amazing hoTV men -will1 prostitute their patriotic judgment to party politics. This observation 1», born of the amazing spectacle thatl Congressman Jim Mann, the republcaiv^ leader in the house, maide of himsellr the other day in the discussion of the! Philippine bill. Now ordinarily Mann| is level headed and dependable on all( propositions effecting the international' relations of the country. There have been times when he has rebuked members of his own party when they manifested a disposition to play jjoiltlcs with our international relations. But after having made it clear that in his opinion its the part of patriotism to stand by the president in his determination to spare the American people the horrors of participation in the bloody dramas now being staged all over the world, he plunged into the debate the other day and delivered cne of the most dangerous and inflamrftable speeches that has been heard in congress in many a day.

The burden of his plea in favor of keeping the people of the Phillipines in bondage was that in the event we let loose we will be immediately cmbroiled in a war with Japan. He actually insisted that on account of a trade war between the Japanese and the Americans, war is bound io come, and there was nothing in his speech to indicate that he saw anything criminal in the propostion of two nations going to war and slaughtering hundreds of thousands for the sake of the dirty dollar. He tried to gloss over the mercenary features of his speech with an insistance borrowed from every tyrant and conquering nation that ever cursed mankind that we would' rule the Philippines benevolently and for their own good—an argument the Americans shot to pieces in the American revolution! It was not onty a sordid speech, it was a tory speech of the most repulsive character.
