a, HANDS OFF. a*. President "Wilson's reply to Germany yesterday relative to the sale of munitlons will fit the average man's notion of neutrality. From the outset thinking Americans seemed to consider Von Bernstorff's note undiplomatic. Editorial opinion generally interpreted it as a move to involve this nation In the war. Von Bernstoff doubtless knew that President Wilson cannot, without congressional sanction, place any embargo on American exports of contraband. The Mexican parallel which the ambassador cities is no parallel at all. The American position of responsibility toward Mexico is unique among international relationships, and, moreover, President Wilson had extraordinary authority to deal with the Mexican situation. To prohibit the export of munitions of war because the allies can buy and Germany cannot buy would not conserve American neutrality, but would amount to a declaration in favor of Germany. This has been made abundantly clear, and is well understood both in this country and in Europe.

The other Von Bernstorff charge, to the effect that the United States had acquiesced in the British "order in council" to prevent the shipping of all supplies to Germany is equally lacking in accuracy. A strongly worded protest has been dispatched to both Great Britain and France. It is unfortunate, of course, that the protest will probably be as lacking in effectiveness as was the American protest against the submarine zone of peril established by Germany..

The president's reply will doubtless convince not only Germany^, but England and France as well, that this nation Is maintaining the strictest and most conscientious neutrality.

HOME RULE LIMITED.

Whether it be regarding elections or labor troubles, the government is manifesting a dispositioiPto take a closer interest in our affairs of life, and as a result old Dr. States' Rights is getting some hard knocks. The federal gov-

ernment has just Indicated that it will act in the Chicago carpenters' strike unless the state officials can get results towards a peaceable settlement. Meanwhile strikers and their former employers stand firm, declaring they have nothing to concede.

Building projects to cost $30,000,000 are stopped by the conflict, it is claimed. Following months of scarce

employment, the situation Is peculiarly unfortunate. Thousands of men who need the work are kept in idleness while each side attempts to enforce its demands as to wages.

The wastefulness of most such contests is well illustrated by this Chicago incident. There should be some adequate machinery at hand to prevent these profitless occurrences, without sacrificing the interests of either side or of the general public, which is always a party In interest. "Chicago and the state of Illinois are just getting a period of prosperity nicely under way when a strike Is pushed in the way of returning good business," says Gov. Dunne. "No one on second thought wants a strike." Opportunity for that second thought is too often lacking.

MAKING TWO BLADES GROW.

Terre Haute investors in the irrigation enterprises about Roosevelt dam will be interested in a Tribune dispatch to the effect that the lake is full. It has been filling for four years, and now the watter is topping the granite wall. Excursions are being run to see it. It Is quite ordinary water, but far from an ordinary dam, and far from an ordinary occasion that marks the flowing of a stream over its crest.

It is the RooseJvelt dam, built by the United States government to redeem thousands of acres of arid land. Two hundred and eighty-five feet the mountain of granite rises from Its bed of rock, impounding a lake twenty miles long that has been slowly filling since the completion of the dam in 1911. Lands hitherto useless will receive the blessing of that imprisoned flood and add their contribution to the productivity of the southwest. In view of the importance of the undertaking it need surprise no one that ambitious natives already propose to have the region of the big dam set apart as a national park.

The Roosevelt dam represents national conserlvation at its best. An undertaking that transforms 200,000 acres of waste land into productive fields, at the same time producing a vast quantity of electrical energy at low "cost, be speaks constructive Americanism.

It cost $12,000,000 to build the Roosevelt dam—less than one-quarter of the daily cost of the European war to the nations engaged. Our hats are off to that stream of water topping the granite mountain near Phoenlfx.

LAW AND ELECTIONS.

The Fort .Wayne Sentinel manifests an interest in Terre Haute and her affairs, and rises to remark: "With the entire crowd of Terre Haute men convicted in the Vote fraud cases now paying the penalty of their misdoings, and with the leaders behind the walls of the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, we are advised that attorneys purpose continuing their legal fight in behalf of their clients. That was to have been expected as the natural outcome. "It. is said at Indianapolis that no fight will be made on the evidence introduced by the government to show that flagrant and wholesale frauds were perpetrated at Terre Haute.' The contention is made by attorneys for the defense that the situation was one with which the state courts alone should have" dealt, and that the federal' court at Indianapolis had as a matter of fact

no jurisdiction that action by the United States grand jury was unwarranted, and that any proceedings whatever In the case should halve been brought under the Indiana laws in the courts at Terre Haute. One cannot presume to say in advance what the ruling of the higher courts will be on this question, but the importance of the decision can hardly be overestimated. The United States statute under which the proceedings were brought has been in existence for some time, but until the Terre Haute caBes it had never been invoked in safeguarding elections In which members of congress were voted for. To the Indiana district attorney has been given the credit for fcraotically 'discovering* the statute under which Donn Roberts and a score of his associates halve been sent to the federal prison. The value of the appeal which Roberts' attorneys will make lies not so much In its outcome as regards the men convicted in the present case as in securing a definite ruling on precisely what the statute means and in what cases It may be applied."

A Kentucky night rider draws four years In prison for whipping a man and his family. Why didn't the fellow joy ride instead of night ride? He might halve killed a whole community for. a ten-dollar fine.

An Evansville man Is getting a divorce because his wife smoked cigars in the presence of strange men. Does the Evansville code confine ladies' smoking to the presence of friends and relatives?

Senor Huerta's assurance that he did not murder Madero is not even academically interesting. The history of that crime has already been written and responsibility definitely placed.

A telegram from New York tells us that Mrs. Russell Sage has given $15,000 to the cause of game protection. What do you mean game protection— poker or the ponies?

Married life is the best life, of course, but with some it palls very soon. As an instance, a fellow went to dive for the F-4 three hours after the ceremony was performed.

"Gen. Huerta has his ear to the ground," says a report. New York chauffeurs should be careful about running over ears.

QUESTION.

'Tis not an easy tiling. you know, To dress ourselves just riKht, For styles that make a peach of one

Will make the next a fr'ght.

The men all say, modest. As mother used to be. But let's turn back a moment

And see what we oh'jll see. The skirts they wore were very large, With hoops and things inside: How could you tell, my gentlemen—

Ahem!—what they mielit hide?

Maybe a round, plump flprure, Or one—mayhap—all corners: Many came blithely to the feasi.

But stayed—alas!—as mourners.

And when the skirtd were narrower, A man might ne discreet And know just what he could expect—

A woman cannot cheat. Still man ,1ust laughs and says, "Absurd!"

And leaves poor woman guessing. I wonder If he'd be more pleased If woman did less dressing

We've rriec skirts large, we've tried skirts jmall: Now what are we to do? Just hang our clothes upon the wall

And wear a smile or two?

We only dress to please the men And lead them on to woo: We'll do awav with hem and stay,

If just a smile will do!—Belle Vaughn.

Don't Do It.

HOROSCOPE.

Newspaper Syndicate.)

Friday, April 23, 1915.

Astrology reads this as a singularly unfortunate day. Neptune, Venus, Saturn and Uranus are all strongly adverse.

Under this rule it is held that It is extremely easy to make mistakes. High nervous tension, irritability and even sudden attacks of illness are common.

The reign of the planets indicates that European ponditions will not improve for many months, the seers declare, and they continue to warn the United States against a foolhardy feeling of security.

If the stars are to be relied on, inventions that have to do with aerial navigation will multiply during the spring and summer and these will mean much to the nation.

There are £igns construed as warning .against .sudden .avenue^ that lyill arouse the country and" caus'e vast expenditures.

Increase of taxation is foreshadowed. Political protests against this will affect the fall elections in certain states.

Chicago has the augury of extraordinary sensations that will test state officials as well as the municipal government.

Frauds perpetrated through the postoffice or scandals in which the postal service may become involved are indicated, it is said.

Although the planets have appeared to forewarn women that they would bear many burdens and shed many tears in the present year, there is also the prophecy that they, are to attain supreme authority in work that will establish equality and justice.

Increase in marriages and births will mark the next month. The death of a financier, which will take place next month, may cause a. flurry in the business world as tt will interfere with, important negotiations.

Persons whose birthdate it is should be cautious about traveling in the coming year.

Children born on this day may be restless In nature and difficult to guide. 3irls should be guarded against unhappy marriage. These subjects of Taurus ire often studious and fond of scientific pursuits.

"Wcmen, by discarding petticoats, have nearly ruined my business." "You should note the tendency of the styles and balance your wares. When a woman leaves off a petticoat she puts s.n extra cpat of powder on her face."—Louisville Times.

SUFFERED 15 YEARS

Weeks at a Time in Such Misery Did Not Get a Night's Rest. Used Cuticura, In 18 Weehs Entirely Well.

107 N. Mesaba Ave., Virginia, Minn.— Since I was fourteen years of age I suffered with psoriasis. I was suffering for fifteen years. For the first nine or ten years it would come and go but oach appearance would be longer and more severe until it refused to leave at all until I got so bad that I could not do any work. At times there was not a place on my ontire body, excepting my face and hands that was not covered. "Weeks at a time I would be in such misery that I did not get a night's rest. My body was covered with shiny white scales and under them was as red and inflamed as blood. They would crack open some half an inch in length. "My husband was telling a friend of the condition I was In, and he too had been a sufferer of the same trouble and had been healed by Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I at once commenced the treatment. In eighteenweeks I was entirely well." (Signed) Mrs. Edwin Mitchell, June 22, 1914.

They are right in the very heart of the Gardens. We never had any intention of selling them—but now we find we can. Just why we can, is another story. Come and see the lots and we will tell you all about that part of it.

One thing certain after these are sold, the only way you can get hold of a Davis Gardens lot, is to buy it of some one who had an eye to business and bought to resell—at a nice comfortable profit.
