Some one always thinks he has been slighted. Some one always has opinions that others will not hold. Some one"" always demands more recognition than he is entitled to. By ambition even the angels fell.

We have a great army of self-sup-porting, satisfied, contented, law-abid-ing1, peaceful citizens .enrolled among the workingmen of the United States. If they were left alone by disturbers, agitators and demagogues, they would b-e still happier and more contented and they should know it.

We have not yet reached the millennium. Suffering and sorrow abide with us now as they have ever since the creation, but an overruling Providence has dealt kindly and justly with us. It has given the people of the United States more reason to be contented and thankful than to be dissatisfied and complaining. Especially in this., favored land of ours has this been true, while all the rest of the world is stricken with war. )The call of the hour is for hope, faith :.»nd gratitude. ..

BROTHERS IN ARMS.'

Private letters received here indicate that among the rank and fiie of the armies abroad there has arisen a spirit of discontent, a resentment of the job of murder they have on their hanii and a hatred for the interminable slaughter that -they have been called on to do. Neither officially nor semiofficfenr? has anything whatever, been fid or done which would indicate the early close of the war for which the whole world is longing. In Germany the opinion prevails that it is yet too soon to talk about peace. The kaiser certainly will never refuse peace overtures on the part of the allies, if their conditions are compatible with Ger-

at Terre Haute, "Indiana under the act of congress of Mar.^h 2, 1879. A Terre lluute newspaper (or Terre llante pruplc. The only paper In Terra Haute owned, edited and published by Terre HauteaKa.

WHAT WE NEED.

Secretary Redfield's appeal in his Indianapolis speech last night for a return of the safe and sand and his chastisement of the calamity howler calls attenion to a bad habit the people of this country hstfve got into. It Is the day of the dissatisfied. The kicker, the growler and the disturber are making themselves public nuisances. The people are tired of them. It is the easiest thing in the world to find fault. There Isn't a shop, a factory, or a business house in which at least one dissatisfied creature will not be found. No family circle is free from a jarring element. No church congregation is without a disturbing influence.

many's honor. Germany wants a peace assuring her complete liberty at sea and giving her a guarantee that she will not be disturbed for a long time to come. For this Germany ventured its existence, and the war must decide whether or riot this country Is' to continue as a leading world povyer.1 In comparing quantities of men and resources of the two belligerents, Germany and Austria would lose, but it seems in this war as if the quality of men and organization would be the deciding factor.

In Germany at this time one looks at men and things only from the military point of view. All men not in the army form three classes. The last class of the landstrum includes all men from 42 to 46 years of age who have done military duty when young and who are now awaiting a call to rejoin the colors. The landsturm without arms is made up of men from IT to 45 years of age who have never done military service and these have lately been summoned before the recruiting commission. Many of those qualified have already Volunteered. The third class includes all the men over 45 who have done their army service and who have no longer any connection with the military.

Every German is hoping that a lasting peace between France and Germany will be the result of the present struggle, and this is the feeling not only of the people but of the government as well.

DR. LYON'S VIEW.

Evangelist Lyon mourns over our lack of godliness and says that Terre Haute is but one degree removed from hell, the only difference being that Terre Haute has railroads. Howetver, the revivalist's discouragement is not shared by the people here. He has had large meetings, he has aroused a keen religious interest on the part of the people, and while he complains that he is not being financially supported like he ought to be, that is secondary to the real purpose of his visit. Dr. Lyon has knocked our faults and foibles with a lusty hand, he has brought us to a keener realization of the value of Christian living, he has been a fresh inspiration in this sordid world and a reminder that pelf and profit are not everything. While the doctor should not be compelled to urge the people to contribute to the collections, this was ever/the hardest share of the sincere preacher of the gospel, and it is comriipn human frailty to expect intelligent religious stimulus without ever counting the cost. We expect highly educated men to davote their lives to the consolation arid inspiration of their fellow men and to direct the finer influences that spring from religious teaching, all the time unmindful of their temporal support or niggardly in our giving. Rev. Lyon hps refrained from impressing on his hearers their duty in this respect, probably sharing the average pastor's repugnance of talking "money" from the pulpit. But It is a duty "his congregations owe. Dr. Lyon must live, and such miracles as the loaves and fishes are strangers to this day and age.

PASS THE WHALE.

The work of the house wife is being made easier all the time. Mechanical engineers in Norway have been busy during the last few years demising machinery for the cutting up of whales. It seems that you can't serve those gentle birds with any one of tjie fiftyseven varieties of carving sets that you found among your wedding presents.

While these men of science were experimenting on this new machinery, it occurred to them that the meat might be used to good advantage in some way. Hence, the whale meat wiener. It is also said that a whale steak is not unlike beef and very nutritious.

Without doubt the distraught house, wife should greet this announcement with joy, for there is every reason to believe that it may throw new light on the high cost of lUving.

If it does nothing elsf but bring a happy release from hav/.ng to read articles on "How to cook 'che cheaper cuts of beef it will, serve some purpose.

How to cook the cheaper cuts of whale would have a new and interesting sound, and could start right in where the cheaper cuts of beef left off, whale pot pie, whale en casserole, whale stew and whalebone soup of the leftovers.

Probably the next economy hint would read: "Never throw away youtwhale bones. Wash'and dry them with care. From one meal the frugal housekeeper may secure collar stlffeners for her entire spring outfit."

A Cleveland judge fined a prisoner $50 and costs who said that he walked into a bar just like the Judge. Less majeste is rapidly becoming a recognized crime by some American jurists who set themselves up as divinely anointed rulers.

"Even if your place of business is not being used, brighten it up and you will have a tenant the sooner," suggests the "Clean-Up Week" committee. This is a fine suggestion for The Hague peace palace.

BRIEF DECISIONS.

For our part: The whole thing.— From Judge.

Two women envious of a third woman never lack an absorbing topic.

Confession is good for the soul. If it is spicy enough, it is also good for space in the Sunday editions.

Man's happiness, in the last analysis, may be called feminine. And his unhappiness Is often of the same gender.

When a pretty girl lowers her lashes, she renders herself liable to the charge of carrying concealed weapons.

The world does an injustice to the feminine college graduate when it believes that her education has killed her innate mother-love. College courses rarely penetrate so deeply.

VAN REPORT SHOWS

Annual Statement of President Cites Curtailment of Coal Demand— Gross Income Less.

The annual- statement of the Vandalia Railroad company, Just made public, reflects, according to President J. J. Turner, unsatisfactory business conditions prevalent ovor the country east of tho Mississippi river, the depression increasing as the year progressed and resulting in the curtailment of the demand for bituminous coal, which In normal years furnishes about fifty per cent of the total tonnage of the company's lines. iWhile there was a large increase in the volume of foodstuffs this increase was more than offset by the decrease In the shipments of manufactured articles and building materials.

The total operating revenues were 111,006,672, a decrease of $519,610, of which 5396,252 was in freight and $58,863 in passenger revenue. The tolal operating expenses were $8,848,366, a decrease of $326,599 over 1913 and of which $178,951 was In maintenance of way $51,047 in maintenance of equipment $27,402 in traffic expenses $89,830 largely due to reduction in passenger and freight train mileage.

Tho report says that there were rigid economies, "but the increase In wages, of enginemen and firemen, conductors and trainmen under the wage arbitration and the expense of complying with increasing unnecessary legislative enaotmont prevented any further reductions In expenses."

Income Falls Off.

The gross income of the company was |1,860,374, a decrease of $224,457. The net income was 282,559, a decrease of $36'9,259, of which $170,213 was appropriated for the consolidated mortgage income and $112,345 was transferred to profit and loss. In view of this small return the company could not pay a dividend. fl

Referring to the five per cent rate cases, President Turner says that the granting of the increase by the interstate commerce commission excluded coal and other heavy commodities constituting over fifty per cent of the company's tonnage and that, "very many of the increases allowed could not be made without interference with the interstate rates in Indiana and Illinois, permission to increase which has not yet been granted by the utility commissions of these states."

The Terre Haute and Peoria, operated by the Vandalia under a lease, showed an increase of $50,151 In revenue but a loss for the year of $271,150.

There were 9,613,509 tons of freight handled by the "Vandalia which was a decrease of 662,314. The Terre Hiaute and Peoria handled 1,048,000 tons, which was an increase of 159,919. The Vandalia handled 2,681,294 passengers, a decease of 181,194, and the Terre Haute and Peoria hauled 291,515, a decrease of 16,138. The Vandalia freight revenue.was $6,754,50$, a decrease of $451,731, and the Terre Haute and Peoria $610,200, an increase' of $55,478. The Vandalia passenger revenue was $2,289,252, a decrease of $54,465 the Terre Haute and Peoria was $128,876, a decrease of $4,397.

BAR HONORS VAN SELLARS.

Local Association Passes Resolutions In Memory of Paris Jurist, Resolutions of respect to the memory of the late Judge Henry Van Sellars, of Paris, were prepared and taken to Paris Thursday morning by a committee of the local bar named by Judge Fred W. Beal of the Superior Court. The committee consisted of Judge S. C. Stimson, chairman Judge James H. Swango, Elmer F. Williams, 'Firiley A. McNutt, and Thomas N. Gallagher. Judge Van Sellars presided for years in the Edgar county court, and had a wide reputation as a jurist. The Terre Haute bar resolutions were presented at a meeting of the Edgar county bar.

INFERIOR AND SUPERIOR RACES.

There is only room for one race, one group, and finally one individual to be superior, if superiority consists in holding a place on top with every ono else somewhere between that place and the bottom. On the other hand, there is opportunity for almost every one to be superior if superiority consists in performing some kind of useful service in an exceptional manner. Almost every race and almost every individual possesses some gifts that make it or hdm exceptional. There is almost certain to be some directions in which an individual or a race may be of greater service than in others. To seek and find that place is to be successful. To fill that place in an exceptional way is to be superior.

What we should strive to do, to put it simply and squarely, is contribute our part toward bringing into existence a civilization in which superiority is based on service and not contribute more than we have to to maintain a civilization in which superiority is based on force. We should look forward to a civilization based on racial peace rather ^han one based on racial war and racial subjugation.

However, it will be a long time before the little brown people of the world will be in a position to enforce their claims in this way. The black people of Africa may never be in that position.

Meanwhile it is well to remember a very large part of the actual progress of the world in the past has been made by the farmer and the mechanLc, those who reap and those who build, rather than by the soldier with his implements of destruction. Thrift, industry and patience are still the staples of human progress, and the. peculiarity about them is this, that, while they may belong separately to individuals or races, they are counted as part of the common capital because while they make no man's life poorer they make the whole world richer.—Booker T. Washington. In the April number of The North American Review.
