BURNED FINGERS.

Seven years ago today, July 4, 1908, the foundations of the safe. and sane Fourth were laid in fire and smoka.

The careless handling of a combustfi ible, the roar of exploding fireworks, the fatal flames that followed did more 3' In a short half hour to do away with the noisy and dangerous old-fashioned

Fourth than all the arguments and demands that were ever advanced. From that wrecked store In Cleveland with its seven dead and twenty wounded, a solemn resolfve took form. There should be no more Fourths In Cleveland to add to the record of destruction.

So the Fourth of July, 1908, was in large measure a day of sorrow and of regret and of unusual gravity—the most memorable Fourth, In Its lesson and Its purpose, In the city's history.

The lesson has been learned by other ,, cities, and the result has been a gradual dlmunition of such casualties, in very evident proportion to the degree to whicji the old fashioned Fourth has been abandoned. The result hats justlfled the means a thousand fold, and, too,—has made It a dull day for the doctors.

WILD MEN YOU'VE MET.

According to a news item In the Tribune, the "Wild Man From EvansVille," one of the carnival features, reported to the police yesterday and told Chief Doyle that he was tired of being "wild" and that he wanted to throw up the Job. One does not know how to take the fellow. Tou cannot tell whether he is deserving of sympathy, or whether he was aiming a crafty and Insidious affront at this community. On one hand his repugnance at his Job might be interpreted as emanating -from the effect of our culture and amiability on him after one week's stand, then, too, It might be construed to mean that he could not bring his "wlldness" to a degree of intenseness considered sufficient for Terre Haute.

Evanstville will probably take this view of it. We prefer, however, to take Chief Doyle's theory. With his keen, analytical mind to detect the facts of the case, he arrived at the conclusion that the "wild man" was merely "wild" to leave Evansville. Which, as Mayor Bosse would remark,

I THE WEEK'S WAR.

-'While the war news of the past few days relating the advance of the Germans in Galicia has furnished spectacular readihg, the operations of the German submarines in curtailing British shipping is vastly more important. Much has been said of the capture of Lemberg. It is not a fortified city, but Its fall is a significant step in the German advance. It restores to Austrian possession the only important city of Austria, Germany or Turkey which remained In the power of the anti-Ger-man allies, and emphasizes the fact that the Teutons, despite their smaller numbers, have for the first eleven months of the struggle kept generally on the offensive. At present Berlin and Vienna are in less danger than they were after the first month of fighting.

The fall of Lemberg probably means the complete expulsion of the Russians from Galicia. Already the Invaders ha/ve been driven back so far that only an insignificant strip of the province remains In their possession.

The restoration of Galicia to the Austrians has a more than sentimental value. There are important mines in the province, and these will go far toward supplying raw material for war munitions. Already many of these mines have been reopened by the Austrians and they will be worked to capacity.

The only doubt concerns the effect on Ttoumania of the Russian retirement. Superficially It might appear

that the great defeat inflicted on her prospective ally would keep Roumania out of the war. It is possible that Just the opposite effect mtty be recorded. Russia is now in a chastened mood, and may make such generous offers that Roumanian cupidity will overbalance discretion. With Roumania's 600,000 men attacking from the south the German triumph might be nullified, and Galicia and Bukowina might speedily revert to the possession of Austria's foes.

NIPPING HARD TIMES.

R. H. Crooker, advertising manager of the Regal Motor Car company, said in a recent talk before an advertising club of Detroit that a great deal of the activity in automobile circles Is due to the exceptionally good work done by local dealers in supporting and supplementing the national advertising of the manufacturers. "More than any other line of business," said Mr. Crooker, "is this co-operative spirit manifest."

Manufacturers In other lines of trade have spent years of effort and wads of money In a struggle to educate their dealers to the value of local newspaper advertising backing up the campaigns in the magazines, with but meagre results. In comparison, the local automobile men in the (various cities have developed wonderfully fast.

They enter heartily Into the plans of the manufacturers, many of them spending freely of their own money in their willingness and desire to co-op-erate. And they do It in a way that many other dealers might profitably emulate, that is with a highly commendatory consistency. More thai? half the money that is wasted each year in advertising Is wasted because of the flash-in-the-pan, once-in-a-while sort of way In which It Is epent.

Regular publicity is the only kind that really pays, and automobile dealers have learned this lesson well.

GREENER FIELDS.

Some Philadelphia people are having a little disagreement about whether or not the school teachers' lot Is a hard one or an easy one, while two New York men declare that New York teachers are "a distinctly fajvored and much underworked class." The Philadelphia gentleman concludes that "aside from the fact that she is usually not paid enough, the teacher is pretty well off." We refuse to quote another word of these remarks, because the Storm of protest from "busy overworked teachers" who think they have the hardest Jobs on earth can be distinctly heard gathering force and speed as it approaches.

So much for the argument, which serves to remind one that, the other person's Job always looks comparatively Bimple. "If only," says the tired business woman, (and by the way she is getting to be quite as much of an institution as the "tired business man.") "If only I could Just stay at home and wash the dishes and mend stockings and take a nap when I wanted, and sit on the front porch for five minutes In the middle of the morning I wouldn't care what happened to rye." "And," says the busy careworn mother who is In the act of retrimming her summer hat for the' fourth time, "if only I could Just go to work every day and be free to come and go as I liked and have my own money to spend, and no dinner to get as surely as 6 o'clock rolls around, I wouldn't ask for another thing in the world."

And so, doesn't it look as if every Job worth halving was a.hard Job after all? There Just isn't any way to beat the game of life. Most of us have to pay as we go.

"I started in my career as a business man in the capacity of a messenger boy in the train dispatcher's office of the Burlington railroad," he said. "It was my duty to carry all the messages from that individual to the heads of departments up stairs. I guess -that I climbed those stairs more than a hundred times a day.

How I Earned My First Dollar

E. H. Clifford, secretary of the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce, earned his first ddllar in the employ of a railroad in the capacity of a messenger boy. HIS business career has had a diversified turn for since that timo, although he has worked in other more responsible positions on the railroad, he has also engaged in the wholesale dry goods business, as a newspaper man and in the employ of the St. Joseph commercial club, holding the same position that he now holds with the local chamber.

Monday, July 5, 1915.

During (business hours tcyday the stars are helpful, according to astrology, for Venus and Jupiter are in beneflc aspect. In the evening Neptune is adverse, but Mars and Mercury are friendly.

It should be an auspicious rule for bankers, brokers and capitalists. Investments of every sort are well directed and therG is a most encouraging sign for the south. This applies not only to the southern states, but to southern countries.

Women should benefit greatly under this sway, which promises recognition for their larger activities in the world. Fame will come to one who seqks to solve an economic problem relating to workers of her own sex.

While the planets foreshadow a new era for women ip their commercial and professional relations there is a sinister power that apparently bodes 111 for certain lines of activity. Serious troubles among political leaders in western states, and equal suffrage agitators in the east again are foretold.

TEN YEARS AGO TODAY.

July 4, 1905.

Many local people attended the Fourth of July picnic at Paris. A parade was given by all the uniform rank companies in the city in celebration of the Fourth.

The Co-operative Stamp company of Terre Haute filed incorporation papers with the county recorder.

The receipts of the city postofflce during the month of June were $10,313.53.

Absalom's failure might Just as properly be called David's failure. Had David always been the father he should have been, Absalom would not have been in the position or relation to his father that the lesson of today finds him. Some one has said that in most cases David's sons were the offsprings -of his sins, and they became his tormentors.

Absalom was a man of exceptional physical beauty and I suppose there were comparatively as many foolish women in his day, as. now, to compliment and flatter and turn the head of such a young man.

All of the so-called high social sets were open to him. The fond mother sighed and longed for her Mary or Jane or Priscilla to be able to "land" the beautiful and accomplished Absalom.

Then, too, David was over-indulgent with Absalom. After Absalom had Killed Am'non in revenge' he had to flee. His flight, restoration, rec&nciliation to his father, his deep-laid schemes to wrest the kingdom from his father, his' defeat and murder at the hands of Jo&b—all these mark only too well the awful conditions of the times.

David was getting old and was unable to be at the gate of custom or anywhere in public life as much as he used to be. So Absalom had ample opportunity to get Into the hearts of the people by promising to do many things which David was not able to do and which if the people had taken time to think of it Absalom would never t'e able to do. But the mind of the average person has always been pretty credulous. The people believed that Absalom would be a great king, and when he was ready fled to him in great numbers. There are three main divisions in the lesson. First, the forces arrayed: second, the real battle, and third," Absalom's fall.

I. David arranged his forces in three divisions. That is, he had some system as a result of his knowledge of warfare.

Absalom had no organization. He had been too busy being beautiful to Study any plans of warfare. All he really had was his discontent with David to spur him on. David knew the limitations of his son. so he asked that he he dealt with kindlv.

II. When the real battle came on the forces of Absalom were quickly put to rout and- scattered. Absalom, coming upon some of David's soldiers as he was riding through the thick

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 3.—Until a comparatively recent date the city of Washington was pathetically at a disadvantage with other of the world capitals In one particular—its utter lack of the atmosphere born of the presence of artists and art work. It has required a century to rid many people of the idea of crudity due to the patchwork character of the capital in the early days and, strange as it may seem, I have found that not a few people have com© to Washington for the first time with a mental picture of the city borrowed from the travel volume of Charles Dickens and the poem of Tom Moore. As a matter of fact} there was little more than morass £nd bog and trees it the time Moore c&me but his libel on the American people Was written as much in the hope of currying favor with the London drawinjg rooms as for the purpose of giving a true picture of the city. It is humiliating for one who loves his inimitable Irish Melodies and admires his race to adiiiit that M'oore'S head was turned by the adulation of titled idiots of London and that he developed into something of a snob.

As for Dickens his tirade against the capital and the country was in keeping with the innate vulgarity and provincial as&ininity of his race and ho wrote to please our dear "English cousins" who hate us with an ever increasing hate—all the hypocracy to the contrary notwithstanding. However it must be admitted that for many years Washington was not a howling success as an impressive city. It was not until Washington got a political "boss" at whom she could throw bricks and try to send to the penitentiary and finally to drive into exile that she ever had a chance at beautiflcation.

woods in search of some- of his own men, became frightened and turned his mule about and started to retreat. The long hair which had always been his pride caught upon the low hanging bows of an oak tree and he was left hanging by his hair. It was an easy matter for the soldiers of David to kill him then.

III. Joab, David's counsellor, thrusts three arrows through the body of Absalom and after he is dead the soldiers take him down and bury him, piling up a, great mound of stones as a'monument to the folly of the beautiful, misguided, self-indulgent, discontented, sinful Absalom. His cause was lost. His story Is of one who thought he could win over another simply because of his reputation. After all it pays to honor parents.

Faced Storm of Pi*oteat.

The "honest tax payers" and the "old time citizens" had been so Jong accustomed to wallowing in dirt that they could not conceive of any reason for change- And wh«fn the boss set his jaws and announced his prograLm of Improvements with this result&rifc expense they began to call him names. He put his hand to the plow and he kept It there and when he had concluded Washington was well on the highway to that beauty which in these days makes such a strong appeal to foreigners acquainted with the beauties of foreign capitals. Of course they called him(a boSs and drove him out but after he was dead they built a monument to his memory and acknowledged their debt to his constructive genius and his almost superhuman courage. But Washington was still to remain for many years .the mere political capital of the nation. At length, not long ago, there came a general change.

The people of leisure and great wealth, appreciating the social ad vantage of the city, began to turn to Washington for their winter homes. This tendency is on the increase. Eventually and before long Washington will undoubtedly be the home of the most wealthy and polished society in the country. The most Important effect of this will doubtless be to impress upon artists, painters and sculptors, the value of a residence and a studio there and thus the time will come some day when Washington, more than New York, will be the art center of the nation. There Is already a strong tendency in that direction. Jerome Conner, the sculptor, is a familiar figure in the Bohemian life of the city, and within the last ear E^irtlett who, after St. Gaudens and possibly French, is the greatest of our American sculptors, has determined to divide his time between his studio, in Paris where he won an international fame by the brilliancy of his work, and his studio in Washington. He is now engaged in a great work— the execution of the figures for the house side of the capital.

Where Bartlett Works.

One of the interesting stunts about Washington is to visit his studio—interesting because of the genius- of, the sculptor, the exquisite beauty of his walled-in garden, the work on exhibition.in the huge brick, barn-like structure—interesting to see in the making the huge stone figures before which in a hundred years tourists will stand, guide book in hand, and read that Bartlett did the work in a studio in Washington in the early part of the twentieth century. To reach this delightful place with its old world flavor one takes a Brookland car and a^ks the conductor to let him off at tlve Bartlett studio. As one contemplates the prosy neighborhood with its drab workingmen's tenements he is inclined to disappointment,' and it is not until he opens tho wooden door in the vine covered brick wa.ll and finds himself in a charming garden that he recovers his enthusiasm. Here with the aid of the brick in the wall Bartlett has made him a world of his own. I have described Bartlett, his Parisian wife and his studio and garden on a previous occasion and merely mention it again as one of the fascinating places in the capital about which the sight seer knows absolutely nothing.

It is not strange that Bartlett is. not enthusiastic over many of the monuments which dot the city. Truth to tell even the layman can see at a glance that the great majority are all too commonplace. In time many will be displaced by better statuary. The rotunda of the capital in whifch. each state is invited to place two siatue?

To few tourists visiting Washington does it ever occur that in the- -va^ wilderness of mediocre and oft' time® grotesque-monuments which adorn or desecrate the streets and small parks of the capital Is one work of art which is conceded to be the very finest work of America's very greatest sculptor--one of the finest things of the sort to be found in the realms of art the world over- That any one in the leajrt, ap-s preciatlve of the beautiful, should visit Washington for several days -without visiting the Rock Creek cemetery across the road from the- main entrance to the national soldiers home is unfortunate at least. For it is her® that the masterpiece of Augustus £t* Gaudens is to be seen.

An Interesting story is told regarding the work. It was erected by a Henry Adams of the famoyis Adams family in memory of .his wife who committed suicide while under tl?e hallucination that her husband ^ad merely married her for money ., find without affection. The truth seems to be that Adams, who was a traveler, was absent during much of the time, and Mrs. Adams could not reconcile these absences with a proper attitude. toward her. Another story isy^at there was another wdman In the/fAs^ and that the woman was Known. This Is discredited by the best informed. That the suicide was due to the fj?ap that the ma-rriaffe had been a mer^ cenary one is conceded.. After her death, the husband, who appears toj have been perfectly devoted to his wife, determined to not use on & cent- of' her fortune. The monument was .orr dered from St Gaudens. Her Jewelry was buried with her. The remainder of the fortune yvas placed in trust and the interest .was to be used for the perpetual care of the monument. .TJiai monument is fairly well known to.art' lovers through the pictures and articles In magazines.

The name more ordinarily glveft the monument is "Grief." If such waa thd intent the grief manifested is of thd kind so hopeless as to be dumb. The features are calm. And yet therd" 1* something of ineffable sadness '5hl^the) expression. Some call the monument'! "The Peace of God"—and this seettm! to me more appropriate! The effect upon even the most commoh n&tufcej Is magical. In front of the moniito^nfc is a semi-circular marble bench^and"1 the whole is surrounded by eveffW«n« shrubbery. One comes upon tfc6 platfe unexpectedly. Stepping wlthih tfi*' greenery one feels shut ofT completely from the world without. Nothing''cfcin be seen but the greenery, the monument, the brooding woman, the glint of' sky, the overarching branches of th? trees. Nothing is heard but the gentli murmuring of tho wind in the trees, the rapturous singing of innumberable birds. Time and again I hav«~*"" been there and never have I filled to get the grand- cathedral effect, the j/j awesome solemnity, the religious spell. And I have seen men bearing in their^ manner and on their faces the unmls-V/ t&keable evidence of their commonness or coarseness yielded to the as if by instinct. Neveh once havli I seen a man fail to remove his fiat in the presence of the brooding woman. The absence of any lettering on or about the monument adds the element of mystery. It is the masterpiece' of American's great master—compared with whom all the others are but aa disciplfes.
