THE BALDING CASE.

The police department and tlie prosecutor's office deserve approval of the manner in which they have handled the Balding case and on the esxercise of judgment in the arrest and incarceration of Lewis, the murderer. The appalling nature of the crime and the state of public feeling-, especially in the section of the city where the victims lived, hinted strongly of untoward events should the murderer be confined in the jail here. While the authorities might have been able to cope with the situation, the cas$ was best handled in the manner that it was and the early solution of what seemed a baffling murder mystery, the precaution relative to the arrest and confession of the perpetrator reflect creditably on the officials.'

FIRST IN COMMAND.

The recent observation in this column that General French, the British commander in general, is an Irishman and that General Joffre's name translated is likely O'Sullivan, led one Tribune reader to look up the real facts and we herewith acknowledge our gratitude. The information makes good reading. According to this correspondent. his researches into the family history of General Joffre rfevealed that the* family is of noble •origin and that the branch from which the general-in-chief dc?cends emigrated from France to Spain, to return later and settle at Rousillon.

In the archives of the abbeys of Tulle and Uzerche were found traces of a Geoffre as early as 980, and the "works on the nobility of Limousin mention a noble family that figures under the names of Jouffre, Joffre, or Geoffre de Chabrignac. The de--vice of the family, accorded by

Louis XV. was "Everything for the Fatherland." The family name of Joffre is still quite general throughout the region of Brive and there is a town in the vicinity that has at different periods gone by the names of Joffre. Geoffre or Geouffre. This spot was the place of origin of a bourgeois family certain branches of which were ennobled under the names of Geouffre de Au--rrfssac. Geouffre de Lapradeils, Geouffre -Comnene. Two members of this last family even claimed the throne of

Greece during the eighteenth century on the pretext that the family sprung from one of the ancient emperors of the orient

ACORNS AND OAKS.

A significant sign of the times was a page advertisement in The Tribune Sunday explaining the attractive features prepared by a moving picture house for Us patrons. Some statistician has reported that thirteen mil-j lion people last year paid admission to the moving picture shows. Eight, or ten years ago the moving picture houses of the country were catering to a very poor class of people. The majority of these stuffy, badly ventilated, little theatres were patronized by the

out of work, idlers and "liol pollol." You never were sure whether your next door neighbor was after your pocket book or not.

The action portrayed on the screen was of a low standard and ran mostly to train robberies and similar "blood and thunder" plots.

A few of the pioneers in the picture field realized the great possibilities if the film industry should only be taken up by the better class of people.

Pictures of interesting news events from world wide sources were introduced to vaudeville houses, in conjunction with the gahw of acts. They proved themselves vastly interesting to the more educated audiences.

It is a short step to our wonderful theatres of the "silent drama" today. The movies have wormed their way into the hearts of the biggest men and women in the land. Thousands of the big business executives, bank officials, railway men and brokers of the country are most ardent picture fans. They all have their favorites of the screen and are as anxious to read and hear of their doings as they are to watch them In various parts on the screen.

The moving picture industry is yet in its infancy and has earned the good will of people that count. There Is no limitation to the things that can be accomplished or to the pinnacle they can reach.

KILLING THE GOOSE.

Business conditions were pertinently explained by one of the foremost merchants in an address the other day when he said that labor and capital in this country have been engaged in a ten-year wrestling match and they have both become exhausted. The thought is reflected in a changed public sentiment throughout the country which no longer considers that individual the greatest politician who threatens the direst things against business.

All of this leads to the suggestion that we have passed that point of our legislative experience which makes it seem necessary to put the ban on business activity.

For ten years it has been popular with political aspirants to place as many obstructions in the way of business as possible. It is a healthy result of the war and more stringent conditions, which has brought about a present change of attitude toward that part of our national activity, which in reality is most important, namely, business.

When two people find themselves in mutual trouble it is easy for them -t.o! forget past differences and get together on a working basis.

Capital and labor have been passing through some rather stringent conditions and therefore in the working out of these difficulties there has been brought about a more general and hearty appreciation of the rights of others.

ENGLISH AS SHE IS SPOKE.

Professor Rettger's objections to grammatical errors appearing in the paper read by Dr. F. E. Wiedeman before the Terre Haute Literary club last evening were probably made in the interest of pure and undefiled mother tongue, but the incident calls attention I to the looseness which is everywhere becoming apparent in the language. I The English language is not spoken with uniformity by all who use it. Take, for instance, in England, the cradle of the tongue. Nearly every' county has its local dialect, its peculiar words and forms which are used in common conversation. This diversity, frequently complained of, is ii.! part of long standing. In some points it goes back even to the Anglo-Saxon times. In fact, there is a classification of tiie local idioms, each of which falls apart into subdivisions or districts. Certain dialects even have their glossaries. Only one, the Old Northumbrian, can be said to have its litera-

lure, llow these dialccts Impinge on the modern, Allan Ramsey and too, is exemplified in the more remote works of Henry the. Minstrel, often called Blind llarry. and of Gwaln Douglas, the translator of the Aeneid. Even in this country the English, as spoken, has a multitude of peculiarities both of sound and idiom, many of them borrowed from the CJaelic, once the language of England. Here, however, the migratory habits ol* tht people have had the effect of securing a general uniformity of language in nil parts of the country. Rut a few days ago a new word was discovered to have crept into the city room of The Tribune. The word Is "addict" as applied to a person addicted to some habit. It is only too true that necessity is the mother of Invention and the passage of a new drug act was followed by a literary emergency from which the word sprung. Too, it will likely remain. J/»r. Wiedeman was reading a scientific discussion of neuritis, relating to neuroglia, the sustentacular tissue which fills the interstices and supports the essential elements of nervous tissue in the brain, cord and ganglia. The common definition for neuritis is inflammation of the nerve centers. Judging from the caustic criticism by the professor of the good doctor's paper, the doctor's mistakes must have fairly started a conflagration in the nerve centers of the professor.

THE NEW WAR.

The British fleet has assailed the Dardanelles, but the Kiel canal has been left for later consideration and very likely for the reason of the numerical strength of the submarines, that new instrument of war that has bowled over calculations on naval operations. The reason for Germany's immunity may be found in her large and efficient fleet of submarines. These invisible guardians have so impressed the British naval lords that they are unwilling to venture anything more serious than a mosquito attack, which can do no material damage. The descent on Cuxhaven by British light cruisers anfl'&lrsliips was the only assault yet made on the German coast, and this was picturesque rather than significant.

The little submarines, and they alone, have for seven months kept the German shores free from the aggressions of Germany's enemies. Had it not been for the submarines the Kiel canal rather than the Dardanelles would have been the object of Britain's great assault. Germany by this time might have been invaded by a powerful British expeditionary force, and the task of German defense made doubly difficult.

So it is seen that th£ submarine is not merely a prowler and a commerce destroyer. It is a defensive agent of inestimable strength and of proved efficiency. Had the Turks possessed a large fleet of submarines the Dardanelles might have been as immune from attack as the Kiel canal itself.

Considering their contiguity the fact that the Canadians prove very good soldiers is not at all surprising.

Mrs. Angle has been declared innocent by a jury, but she still holds the long distance swooning record.

Of course there's going to be a lot of opposition to cluttering up the Bosporus with sunken warships.

A "Tipperary Cocktail" has been invented. Will it give any offense to the dry Russian allies?

"Pogroms Are Denied by Russians," says a headline. Poor pograms—what will they do now?

Those Spaniards who are demanding war will have to go and get a reputation first.

Wednesday, March 24, 1915.

All who consult the stars should make the mosc of today, for the signs arc fortunate. Mercury, Jupiter and Mars are all In strongly beneflc. aspect.

The configuration is believed to be extraordinary helpful to all who are connected with medicine, surgery, pharmacy and dentistry.

The rule Is favorable for all who solicit and canvass. Collections, also, •ire subject to a lucky sway under this rule.

Ancient lore held that it was ari auspicious time to deal with animals, either teaching, buying, selling or transporting them. The seers predict great gain for western ranchers who will obtain high prices for their horses and live stock.

While this configuration prevails, whatever depends upon resourcefulness and enterprise is believed to benefit. Results are easily accomplished by quick, energetic methods that are stimulated by this astral government.

This should be aJi auspicious time to attend to legal affairs. Astrologers declare that international law will command widespread attention.

Bankers and brokers should find conditions today helpful. Unusual demands on them will be made within thf next few weeks.

The conjunction of Mars and Jupiter today falls in the ascendant and is read as indicating great public excitement. Danger of strikes is foreshadowed. Insurrections are threatened in Burmah. according to this phenomenon, while earthquakes are probable in S3 degrees, west longitude, in the United States, Honduras and Nicaragua. The signs are exceedingly bad for Portugal.

Persons whose birthdate it is are warned against landing money or speculation. By attention to business losses may be avoided, but anxieties nre probable.

Children born on this day may be ouiek-tompered and impulsive, but they are likely to be thoughtful, industrious and independent.
