SAFE AND SANE.

v- Germany has concluded to recompense the American ship owners for the raids of the Prinz Eitel Freidrich. They will be paid in full. As no lives were lost on the "William P. Frye, and considering the circumstances of the case, this solution should satisfy both sides. Anyway, President Wilson thus ^Jids a menace that threatened the peace of this nation and Germany. Damages to the amount of $180,000 will be paid voluntarily.

It had been generally hoped that the action of Captain Thierichens would be repudiated by his government. It was clear from the start that he had acted without warrant. His own action in first attempting to throw overboard the Frye's cargo instead of sinking the ship was an admission of his uncertainty. The destruction of the ship was the act of a man hard pressed for time, who was willing: to take chances of diplomatic difficulties rather than permit the escape of goods intended for the use of his country's

enemy.

The good temper of the United States has been noteworthy. Though everyone believed Captain Thierichens in the wrong there was no tendency toward unfriendliness. The German commander, whose exploits held the admiration of the American people, was received in the most kindly spirit.

There could scarcely be a better proof of the sanity of the American people and of the genuineness of the nation's neutrality. The forbearance appears all the more commendable now that

THE NEW WORD.

Jitor of the Tribune:—We have been interested in the growing discussion as to the propriety of the use of the word "pacifist" in preference to "pacificist" to designate an advocate of peace. Which is the better word?

STATE NORMAL.

Etymological authorities differ. Recently a distinguished member of Cambridge university wrote to the Cambridge Daily News complaining of that paper's use of the word "pacifist," which he contended was etymologically as impossible an abbreviation of "pacifist" as would be "pacifation" for "pacification." In both cases, he wrote, the second is an integral and essential ^_part of the word, which is derived from the Latin pax (peace) and facere (to make).

In reply to this an Oxford university member argued that the etymological objection to "pacifist" was unsound. "There are many words," he writes,

ln*^h

from their meaning appear to Amnounds of the active 'facere,' and yet lack an extra syllable which we might expect, containing the letter 'c.' Such words are 'pacify,' 'liquify,' 'solidify,' 'clarify.' It looks very much as if the latter part of these words is an

inihi^iu 1.1)1

it appears that the word Is intended to denote not so much a class of people who are anxious to make peace, as a party whose policy lo 'purify' and conciliate a foe when beaten rather than so humiliate l»im as to foster in liim the spirit of revenge. In this sense I fail to see what objection can be made to 'pacifists' as a word denoting those whose policy is to 'pacify.'

The word "pacifist" is a convenient one at present to denote the advocates of the policy of "pacifying" in the secondary sense in which this word Is generally used, that of conciliating, making satisfied, not so much of making peace, as no doubt, is Ihe primary meaning.

IT'S HERE.

Like a bolt out of the clear like a flash in the dark,—it's here. Which refers to the "Jitney Bus" magazine which arrived in the morning mail, it is published in New York, and the price, of course, is one jitney. About its ambitions and aspirations and one thing and another it elucidates as follows:

"Until about four months ago nobody had a chance to get erven with a street car company. If you objected to anything: crowded cars, insufficient straps, no ventilation, poor service, you knew just where you could go: you would have to go there in the street car and the company would get your nickel. Anyway, it has been a case of the public be damned and so the public was for years doing considerable damning on its own account but always as individuals, and consequently without any effect. Besides, there was no alternative—it was street car or walk. "Occasionally some noble martyr, burning with the wrongs of the downtrodden populace, would rush to the mansion of that iron-heeled despot, the traction magnate heave a brick through a wondow. and achieve his martyrdom—ten dollars or ten days. "But now—NOW!—(you know, villain stuff: 'I ha.Ye you in muh power.') "What can't we do to 'em with the jitney? Something lingering and painful. and finally fatal, for choice. "But just remember this: The street railway companies are not going to give up a single nickel they don't have to. They are going to fight the jitneys with every weapon they can get, for this is a fight to a finish and no holds barred. "B. Franklin said that 'we must all hang together or we will hang separately," and that's as true now as it was in 1776—team work: co-operation, or destruction. The jitney bus has been started to help bring about co-opera-tion among jitney owners In various cities, to help in every way It can to make the jitney industry a united industry, and one that can fight against the huge forces which are trying to destroy it."

THE NOMINEES.

One of Collier's astute political writers, speculating on the chances of the different presidential possibilities next a ear, points out that the primary laws passed by the different states will not have a vital effect on the matter, such nominations still being in the hands of delegate conventions. The surmise is drawn on the probability of Charles G. Hughes being drafted as a candidate.

Only two of these new state laws provide for a primary vote on the names of candidates for the presidential nomination. These are Maryland and Illinois, with seventy-four delegates out of more than a thousand. The next republican national convention will be like past ones—a body of about a thousand delegates, either uninstructed or only loosely instructed, subject to the strategy of powerful leaders.

The point of all this is that it is possible, so far as the machinery of the thing goes, to nominate Justice Hughes at the convention, by acclamation or otherwise, without any previous assent on his part, or any act or expression from him until he receives the telegram

primaries, and that he would never do this because of his sense of good faith with the progressive party. This is not true. Any group of republicans who want to bring Mr. Roosevelt's name before ihe republican convention, or send delegates favorable to him, can do so without consulting him. The direct primary statutes, so far as they now epdst, do not constitute any effective barrier to this.

HOROSCOPE.

HTk«

Stan Incline, but do not compel."

Thursday, April 8, 1915.

Beware of this day, if those who read the stars are to be trusted. Mars, Mercury and Saturn are all so strongly adverse that it is wise to proceed with great caution in all Important affairs.

There Is a sign read as indicating a war scare in the United States. This may be caused by an incident affecting Canada.

The seers prophesy that American financiers will prepare protective measures Indicating that they are anticipating foreign complications before autumn. The anniversary of the beginning of the war will be a period of exceedingly great peril to this country.

As the world has been in the cycle of Mars since 1909 and as the planet will preside over 1916, astrologers believe that the next year will be ths most critical in the history of the United States.

It is foretold that President Wilson will discover a traitor in an unsuspected quarter. The summer months will be extremely severe on him, physically as well as mentally.

This Is not a propitious day for any surgical operation. Surgeons are subject to influences that are exceedingly sinister under this government of the stars.

Accidents are believed to multiply when Mars is adverse. Care in the use of instruments and machines is counseled.

Soldiers, policeman, watchmen and all who guard life and property are subject to sinister influences vhen Mars is In evil place. Treachery and graft are believed to offer peculiar temptations where the planet Is unfriendly.

The seers declare that Germany Is planning a coup for midsummer that will greatly embarrass the United States.

Ancient lore found this configuration an exceedingly good one for certain household occupations. Tt is not a lucky time, however, for removals.

Persons whose birtLdate it is probably will have many annoyances In the next year. They should be exceedingly conservative in forming business or domestic associations.

Children born on this day may be quick tempered and restless. They are likely to ha.ve generous natures and an aptitude for command.

TEN YEARS AGO TODAY.

Women's Health Requires Care

Women are so constituted as to be peculiarly susceptible to constipation, and their general health depends in lange measure on careful regulation and correct ion of this tendency. Their delicate organisms rebel at the violence of cathartic and purgative remedies, whi::h, while they may afford temporal:' relief, shock the system and seriously disturb the functional organ?. A mild laxative is far preferable and, If properly compounded, much more effective.

The combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold in drug stores under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, is Ideal for women's use. A free trial bottle can be obtained by writing to Dr. W. Caldwell. 452 Washington Street, Monticello, 111.

ARTIST MIXES WAR AND ART IN TALK

Roy Brown Entertains Members of St. Stephen's Men's Club At Monthly Meeting.

AVar talk and art were pleasingly mingled by Roy Brown, an artist, in talk before the St. Stephen's men's club Tuesday night. Mr. Brown apent some years in France and is exhibiting his works at the Emeline Fairbanks memorial library. W. C. Ball presented the club with a picture of Judge Swango. president of the club, showing him "sawing wood." It seems as though the president had told Mr. Ball he liked to saw wood and was given a chance to tackle a big log in the back yard of Mr. Ball's home. His idea of sawing wood though was in a nice arm chair, the photographer proved.

In his talk, Mr. Brown described the place In France in which he was located when war was declared. The village was Etaples, where many artists work. There were no trees to protect it from the wind, Mr. Brown said. When war was declared Mr. Brown was fortunate enough to find a Frenchman, who cashed His draft on a Texas bank. Mr. and Mrs. Brown then made their way to Paris.

It was necessary to get passports and these had to be shown to the railroad conductors and all officials, Mr. Brown said. The secrecy of the mobilization of English troops was shown by the arrival of one British troop which inquired the name of the town in which they arrived. They had sailed under sealed orders, Mr. Brown said.

Mr. Brown gave a decided personal touch to hlB descriptions of the war scenes. He proved an interesting talker and soon his audience began asking questions. He answered them until It came to pronouncing the names of some of the towns in the war zone.

LEAGUE URGES CLEAN-UP WEEK

Members Find School Children Taking Interest In Plan. A regular meeting of the civic league was held in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday afternoon. Routine business was transacted.

11 Questions Answered

Why should I bother about bookkeeper's work? It is not a question of bookkeeping. It is a question of timesaving.

This machine, by totalling and proving bills while it types them, laves valuable clerical time. The saved time can be used for collections or other productive purposes.

Will it fit my present billing system? Yes. It requires absolutely no changes in system. It does your work your way. It applies to small billing departments as effectively as it applies to laige ones.

Is it absolutely accurate? The best evidence is this« It israed constantly by the New York Sub-Treasury and by prominent banks throughout the country.

What is the costf That varies with the carriage-width. It is higher than the cost of a plain typewriter. Compared with the cost of a standard, 81-key adding machine it is low. And remember: It is an adding machine combined with a complete typewriter.

The initial cost is soon wiped out by the time-saving, to say nothing of the accuracy insurance.

Can my present operator use itf Most assuredly. Within an hour your typist can learn to operate it readily.

Will it appeal to my bookkeeper? Yes if he is progressive and aims to be more than a men clerk.

Can it be used readily on my regular correspondenceT Yes. It is an absolutely complete Remington Typewriter for correspondence purposes. The simple switch of a lever prepares it for letter writing.

Is the touch light or heavy? Light. The keys are not punched as with the usual adding machine. They operate with a light typewriter touch.

When the adding and subtracting mechanism is connected the touch of the numeral keys is sligntly different. This prevents adding on correspondence work. On correspondence work, the adding mechanism is detached by touching a lever. The numeral keys then operate as lightly as the letter keys.

Who are using itt Thousands of manufacturers and retailers—large and smallinsurance companies, banks, city departments, railroads, express companies, steamship lines, telegraph companies, brokers and many in other lines.

If you wish to have the name of a user in your neighborhood we shall be glad to supply it.

Is it durable? Decidedly. We have testimonial letters from offices which have been using this machine for 5 years. Their machines were the first on the market. And they are doing first-class work todav.
