The unswerving neutral attitude of the president of the United States from the first has impressed itself upon the nations of Europe. It has had its stabilizing effect at home, contributing largely to the advantage which the republic has gained in the estimation of the world at large. At this hour of uncertainty touching Issues that involve the integrity of the United States, every citizen owes it to his country to maintain an attitude as strictly unbiased as that of President Wilson.

ft CHURCH PUBLICITY.

'•4

t-Nr*'^*£3rHe such campaigns as that to be conducted here by Rev. Lyon depend to some epctent ftheir success on the support which they receive from the public press, there is a disposition on the part of the clergy in certain parts of the country to apply publicity formally and regularly as an agency to fill their p6ws. iv The Chicago Advertising club, which lias 800 members, recently placed its services at the disposal of the churches in that city, free of charge, to assist them in their publicity campaigns.

Albert Joerns, chairman of the educational committee of the club, and promoter of the plan, explains it as a movement to give the result of the experience and training of advertising men as their contribution to the good rt ork the churches are doing, he says: "The motive of the advertising men ia purely altruistic. The minister needs (HL |||$ church full of people in order to reach a full sermon. The churches are as worthy of patronage today as they ever were. They simply have fiercer competition in moving picture shows, easy means oC travel, late hours of work or pleasure seeking, which prevent early rising. But it is poor advertising for a minister to bemoan in the pulpit the small attendance either at church or prayer meeting. "The antiquated rule followed by njany churches is 'All things come to -him who waits.' We believe that church advertising ought not to be used simply to increase attendance at the churches but also to preach to those who do not go to church. We purpose to confer with the representatives nf

THE SAFETY VALVE.

The current issue of the Vaterland conveys the notion of how different things might be in this country were that eminent advocate of the strenuous life in the white house. Col. Roosevelt the other day became vexed at the Vaterland and said one of the editors ought to be driven out of the country. Mr. Editor, about as fiery and as strenuous as the Oyster Bay citizen, comes back this week and belabors Roose velt, ail bringing into pleasing contrast the attitude of President Wilson The latter a few days ago gave a fine Exposition of the sentiments of every genuine neutral when speaking at the Methodist conference at Washington He said: "No man is wise enough to pronounce judgment," he declared, "but we can all hold our spirits in readi ness to accept the truth when it is revealed to us in the outcome of this titanic struggle. Every man can keep his own spirit prepared to contribute to the net result when the outcome displays itself."

HINDENBURG.

Reports by way of London have had it that von Hindenburg has been replaced by the kaiser as commander at the east front, the inference being that his campaign against the Russians had been a disastrous failure. Events probably will not sustain this information. Von Hindenburg probably is still in command and the real aspect of the situation in the east is liktely very different from that implied in the Sunday dispatch.

Hitherto the Russian line from Prussia to Bukawina has been intact and solid. It has been broken by no serious natural obstacles. It has, In fact, resembled the German line in Flanders, France and Alsace. Despite the Inferiority of Russian roads and the comparative fewness of Russian railroads, the Russian forces halve displayed great mobility and have been admirably maneuvered by their commanders.

With a part of the Russian line pushed beyond the Carpathians, a far more complicated problem will be presented. The forces that sweep down into Hungary must not be out of touch with the armies in Galicia and Poland. The line must remain unbroken despite the rugged mountains which will tend to divide it into two parts.

Roughly speaking, the passage of the Carpathians In the advtnce toward Budapest will represent the taking of the Belgian and French frontier fortresses by the Germans on their way to Paris. It has required months for the Russians to overcome these preliminary obstacles, while the Germans swept aside the frontier barriers In a few days. But once these obstacles are passed the problem of the Russians will be somewhat similar to that of the Germans last August and September. They will have to contend against a determined enemy, fighting to preserve Its capital.

But one false step in Hungary will mean Russian disaster. With the Carpathians at their back the Russians will be placed far more critically than were the Germans after their retreat from the Marne.

WORD CARPENTRY.

A glance at the Tribune's sport page this morning supplies the Information that the new name of the Terre Haute baseball team Is "Highlanders." Recalling the derivation of the words "Terre Haute," the name is pertinent, and fits. But what of the headwriter on the sport page. This seems to be involving him unmercifully. "Tots" and "Terre-ir6" were nimble words, and could be handled with dexterity. But "Highlanders,"—the name is cumbersome, and it is a safe hazard that it will be reduced one or two syllables before the season is over.

Some of the recent sins of the headline writers come to mind in this connection. The word "pact" was InVented because "conspiracy" was too long to fit into a headline. These same mechanics have discovered that "vice zone" is a happy substitute for "segregated district." When Pope and Dreyden invented standards for English verse, they banished good words from the language and adopted bad ones—because the bad one3 scanned better in Iambic pentameter. So much for Buckingham.

But has the reader considered the Latin borrowing, "Alibi?" When a pitcher can't pitch he says he has a sore elbow, and sport writers call that statement an "alibi." When a prize fighter is overtrained or overfed, he has an alibi. Any epccuse for not delivering the goods is called an alibi, on the sport pages. AVe kick when such a perversion gets into th« news and editorial sections. Why isn't "excuse" just as good* a word? "Alibi" is a. Latin word meaning "elsewhere." It is a legal term for a suspected criminal's plea to the effect that he was in another place when the crime was committed. "I wasn't there at the time"—that's what alibi means. Let slang writers stretch this specific plea to cover any excuse for non-per-formance of expected duty or activity. But don't let's follow the slangsterfc. Let.'s put "alibi" elsewhere—let's not borrow a cynical perversion of phrase to use In plain statement, of fact.

OUT IN THE OPEN.

The Indiana Farm Journal in commenting on some recent sales of Indiana farm lands mentions two transactions in Vigo county farms where the price averaged above $165. It goes on to say that the war has effected a general advance in the price of farm lands, as high in some good farming sections as twenty-five per cent.

Perhaps this estimate is not far from true. We "know farm lands have ncr«»- in price in this section and'1

parts of the country have jnentloned a similar growth in values. That is the way much, if not most of the money has been made in America during the past two centuries—by the increase in Values. Dollar and a half acres have become hundred dollar acres. Ten dollar city lots have become ten thousand dollar lots. Million dollar railroads have become billion dollar roads—and the owners have prospered just by the prosperity of the community.

The man who owns farm lands, however, obtains less benefit from this "unearned increment" than the owner of city property or corporate industries. The farmer cannot make his income keep up with the increase In values. When one hundred and sixty acres of land gets to be worth $150 an acre—there's $24,000. But does it earn six, or seven, or eight, or even ten per cent a year, as a flat building in the city would earn—without any effort on the part of the owner?

Not so you could notice it. The farmer pays tlie highest rates of Interest when he borrows money and gets the lowest rate on his Investment when he tries to live on his capital. But things are looking better for the farmer Mid it will not always be that way.

THE NEW VIEW.

When the safety first plan first originated it was looked upon by soma of the employers as a rather expensive Innovation In the interest of the em ploye solely, which the employer should not be required to bear the cost. This view has evaporated, however, and now large employers are developing the safety first plan as a method of eliminating costly accident insurance Five of the large enameling and stamping mills In the country, includ ing the Columbia^ here, recently fol lowed an investigation of the matter by installing thoroughly efficient safe ty devices throughout their plants.

Enameled ware Is made by fusing a mixture of several harmless minerals such as quartz, feldspar and borax up on hollow steel forms. The fusing process Is carried on In highly heated ovens, the finished ware being plated with an impervious vitreous covering which is practically Incorporated Into the steel.

There are few casualties In the enameling process it is in the manufacture of the hollow steel forms preparatory to enameling that the mishaps oocur, The experts engaged to make the investigation mentioned finished their labors in the latter part of 1918, and advised that various safety devices be installed.

In the course of a few months, however, the full effect of the changed working conditions began to be felt and now after a year's successful op eration the manufacturers unite in de claring that their output per man and press has not been reduced, that serious mishaps to their workers are rarely known, and that a large saving has been effected in accident insurance premiums. What is perhaps of greatest importance is the fact that the workers at present are disposed to stay with their jobs, whereas formerly many of them drifted away to other fields after short periods of employ ment in the stamping and enameling plants.

One or two manufacturers even go so far as to declare that the volume of output per man has been somewhat increased in their plant because with the fear of injury removed from their minds, the workmen have increased in efficiency.

Among the devices adopted and now in use are gravity chutes which feed material automatically to presses, automatic gates, sliding tables which make it unnecessary for the operator to put his fingers under the die, and guards which allow space enough only for the material to pass through and not the fingers.

It is to be hoped that the Piutes, as losers, got a safe percentage of the moving picture rights. Gen. Scott gets all the glory otherwise.

A western postmaster has been flred for hugging a girl. It seems hard, but the United States mall must have undivided attention.

Tuesday, April 13, 1915.

This is a rarely lucky day, even though it is the thirteenth, for many planets give promise of good fortune.

It should be an auspicious time to make big investments, especially those that establish new business enterprises. There is a lucky sign for theatrical ventures which will culminate next season.

Ijawyers, bankers and brokers should benefit today. Speculation is subject to the best direction, but there is a sinister sign for a national loan.

Merchants should prosper after reorganization and retrenchment. Changes in old established firms will be numerous in the next few months.

There is a sign believed to encourage the study of philosophy and healing. Religious movements and philanthropic Institutions should benefit, but sensational revelations will shock benevolent millionaires and others who give generously.

Under this configuration women are most lucky. They should mawe the best of the advantages that this day is believed to afford. (Persons whose birthdate it is should be careful to avoid accidents, which will often menace during the year. They have an encouraging outlook in financial affairs.

Children born on this day ma.y be sensitive and inclined to quarrel. They should be guarded against perils* on the water.

"STAR—A Good Thing To Pass Along"

Men Who Chew Are Men Who DO

at Woolworth's, New York, the world's tallest building. Each of its fifty-one stories was a "job" that required clear thinking, accurate action—the highest mental and physical powers. And the majority of the men engaged in the work were tobacco chewers.

Wherever buildings are being erected you'll find men chewing and boosting STAR, the great American tobacco. STAR makes their thinking easier, their labor lighter and their leisure moments more pleasant You'll like the thick, tasty STAR plug that gives the utmost in mellow chewing satisfaction. You'll find each bite as good as the one before you'll find that a STAR plug won't dry out like a thin plug and you'll like the honest weight—each plug a full 16 ounce pouna, all the time. So many men who "do" are men who chew STAR that one day's output would build a STAR plug as high as the Woolworth Building and 23 feet broad.
