REDFIELD'8 TASK.

Fpr some reason or another Secretary Redfield and the Chicago papers have run Counter on. the Eastland investigation, and Redfield's reception there has teen peculiarly savage. So intense had the situation become, that Saturday he felt compelled to ask that public criticism of the federal investigation be withheld .until he had completed his work. The secretary, it appears, has not gauged the public demand that the responsibility be fixed and the culprits punished. Almost from the moment of the disaster, one after another of. those who might be presumed in some measure responsible for the great loss of life have attempted to shift possible b^me.to other shoulders.,

The* Inclination is natural enough, but it will not satisfy. The fact that other inquiries have resulted in failure throaigh.the tendency to pick a "goat!' rather, than to fix blame where it belonged''offers not the slightest excuse here. "Passing the buck" may be a pleasant game for Its participants, but it gets nowhere from the public point of view.

At this time when special interest is manifested everywhere in the •ubject of shipping, involving the question of safety at. sea, this effort to clear up the mystery concerning the Eastland horror and* to 'fix responsibility for it has more than ordinary significance. The point to be kept in mind is that hun-. dreds of (vessels are sailing from scores of ports, carying thousands of human belngs entitled to protection against the: hldderv perils that proved the undoing of the.Eastland and its unfortunates.

LoV these* many years Catf^has .furnished.campaign argument^ to befuddle -the, vot^r apd. on which to hang the reason for our sundry bills. The prosperity that is spreading over the counti^r'tind war conditions have reletariff arguments to the scrap heap. They do not stand ufc.

Tfye American Protective Tariff league is generating steam for another campaign. An appeal for a return\to the ."good old times" of the PayneAldrich tariff is being made throughout the fcountry. There ar$ increasing indications that this wili be a case of love's labor lost.

There is a large element of doubt whether the country' Is at this time or ever will be willing tfr return to the days of top notch tariff making as exemplified by Nelson A. Aldrich and Sereno Payne. B\it beyond this signs are multiplying that the adivocates of high tariff will be obliged In the next campaign, if they talk about'the-'tariff to discuss it from a theoretical stands point. The idle mills and crowded soup houses, so glibly predicted by some of the more ardent critics of the present administration, are not materializing.

Aside from all this the prospect is that the question of foreign relations will occupy the attention of the American voter, largely subordinating the tariff and every other question that, under ordinary conditions, might figure in the campaign as a live issue. The'

question of foreign relations will remain uppermost in the minds of the people of this country as long as the European war continues.

Barring a sudden and unexpected change of situation in Europe, the next president of the United States will be the man who as candidate most accurately reflects the attitude of the country on world wide relations.

JOHNNY APPLESEED.

Eleanor Atkinson's recently published book, "Johnny Appleseed," has Influenced a newspaper to search out the grave of Johnny Appleseed in the old Archer burying-ground of Fort Wayne. It is known that Jonathan Chapman, the real name of that interesting figure of pioneer days, was buried there, but the exact spot has neiver been marked. A movement is now on to put an iron railing around the grave, and to erect a boulder monument in Fort "Wayne in October.

The occasion offers an opportunity for the Terre Haute Apple club to honor its venerated patron. A delegation might be sent to For| Wayne, or .gome suitable marker added to the Fort Wayne tribute to this disciple of pomology.

THESE DAILY RAINS.

Mr. Cade promptly squelches the brother from Lost Creek township who averred that these daily rains were being caused by the war in Europe. Vigo county residents for the past fifty years admit they never knew anything like it. Crops which should have been harvested by the Fourth of July are still in the field, and nearby creeks are out of their banks, something never before known at this time of the year.

As to the effect of gunfire in producing rain, no doubt was entertained by Chaplain-General Greig, the historian of Waterloo, so far, at any rate, as concerned local storms. During the retirement of the British cavary from Quatre-J3ras, the horse -artillery opened, a he&vy fire. "Scarcely was this begun when the clouds, heajvlly laden with electric matter, which had gathered over the heads of the combatants in masses, burst. It is well known that the fire of artillery produces this effect and on the present occasion there accompanied the thunderstorm- such a torrent of rain, as In five minutes converted every meadow and cohfield into a bog." There had been an exactly similar storm at Ligny. But with a hundred thousandfold greater gunfire look at the skies. The ral^fp.}! is still

operation of- the community in the work of the schools is tirged by W. S. Deffenbaugh, of the United States bureau of education, in a report on school progress in the smaller cities, just issued. "School boards that are managing the schools ably and honestly do not fear to turn on the searchlight," declares Mr. Deffenbaugh. "The sentiment is growing among school boards that the public should know how its money is expended. In "the most progressive schools, the board and the superintendent are presenting facts to the people either in printed reports, in newspaper articles, or by both.

Some schoolmen object to furnishing the newspapers with school information on the ground that they are thereby advertising themselves. A superintendent who was complaining about lack of interest among the parents in the schools of his city has asked whether he reported the progress of the schools through the local papers. "He relied that he did not believe in advertising himself. He failed to grasp the idea that school news is not for the purpose of boosting a superintendent besides b^ing legitimate news, it calls attention to the needs of the work of the school so that the school may become more efficients

WAR TALK.

A Tribune correspondent inquires the derivation of the German word "Uhlan." Of course "Uhlan" has come to mean a member of the German light cavalry, but it is not a German word at all. It Is derived from the Turkish word "oglan," meaning a youth. The incident calls attention to-the derivatives of some other war terms.

The word "gun" itself is Welsh originally, and comes to us in a roundabout way as altered by the Irish. It meant "a pot" when the Cymric aborigines spelt it "gwn." Our cannon comes from the Latin word meaning a tube rifle is from a Danish verb signifying to groove. And ''pistol" Is from the Italian town of Pistoja, which was famous in the middle ages for its arms factories. "Howitzer" Is derived fr6m the Czech word "houfnice" which was formerly applied to a wooden apparatus for throwing stones—the classic ballista. The word is met with in the Hussite war In the fifteenth century as "hauffnitz." The saber comes from the Polish "szabla but the sword Is pure Anglo-Sapcon. The bayonet takes its name from the French town of Bayonne, where its Inventor lived in the eighteenth century.

The Hungarians have given us the word "hussar." It is derived from a

This visit was one' of the greatest Importance because of the parties in connection with It and also because of the reasons which prompted it. Sheba did not worship the God of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob' as did Solomon and his people. Solomon was reputed to have a sort of wisdom unlike any other. The splendid queen was in search of this wisdom which comes from "the fear of the Lord." Every report she had was to the effect that the court of Solomon, was one of the grandest splendor. Her own court was something of which any king or queen might be justly proud, and there were without doubt many .questionings in her mind in comparison of the two. But to use her own language when she had arrived at her destination "The half was not told me." The conference was doubtless of the. -utmost importance, since the queen w.as hot only permitted to ask and have answered the many questions which' had been burdening her mind and heart, but Solomon was enabled to teach her many things about his God and his religion which would be of inestimable value in her future reign over her own people.

Her commendation of Solomon's temple, of his wisdom, of his court and of his treatment, plainly showed that she had been repaid for any sacrifice she had made in accomplishing the long journey with all. of its attendant inconveniences.

The queen returned to her own country quite as rich- in. temporal things as she had been when she left it, as Solomon had in turn given her of the richness of his possessions. But she

How I Earned My First Dollar

The call of the oircus was too iituch for P. B. (Ben) Garrott, manager of the John Ford tailor shop, and he "blew in" the first dollar that he had ever made, after he had worked for four days to earn it. When he was a small boy nine or ten years old, he moved with his family from a farm in Christian county to Hawkinsville, Ky. During the time he had lived on the farm he did not get much chance to upend money nor go to the circus as other boys did. Shortly after moving into town a circus was billed to come to the town. Young Ben determined that he would go. His father would not consent unless he earned the money himself. He started in search of work and after a long and discouraging tour of the town he finally secured a position as bundle-wrapper in the Anderson shoe store of that town. He was to work from 8 o'clock -in the morning to 6 o'clock at night, but owing to the length of the day and the sleepy atmosphere of a hot summer shortly before closing time he curled up under a table at the back of the store and feel asleep. He was awakened about nine o'clock by one of the other employes of the store and went to his home. His father thought that he was doing a pretty long day's work from eight in the morning until nine at night, but still did not offer to stand the expense of the circus.

too much for him -and he went to it. Pink lemonade, peanuts, the bearded lady, giants and other features aside from the big show, soon consumed all of his money, the fruits of four hard day's labor. It was worth it he says and the memory of that, first circus day will remain with him for the rest of his life.

NEW BOOKS

There is a constantly growing demand for modern dramatic literature at the library and an effort is made to supply this demand with the best modern plays.

The following new books in this department have been added: "Chief Contemporary Dramatists," edited by Thomas. H. Dickinson, includes twenty plays from the recent drama of England, Ireland, America, Germany, France, Belgiumf, Norway, Sweden and Russia. I

Sunday School Lesson for August 1

By Ray G. Upson, Pastor Centenary M. E. Oharch.

The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon. As a result of the building and completion of the temple, the fame of Solomon had gone to countries round about Jerusalem and had opened commerce with these countries. The fame of Solomon had been wide-spread. One of the most important countries, from the standpoint of commercial interest, was this country of Sheba which lays In the southwest part of Arabia, its capital city being Mariaba.

The queen of Sheba had heard, dQubtless through the merchant marine about the wise reign of Solomon, and It was with more than ordinary interest that she went on the journey to Jerusaiem. This extraordinary interest is shown by the fact that she brought with her a vast array of costly presents to the king. These presents consisted of camels, precious spices and precious stones. Her visit in this particular was not unlike the visit of the wise men to Jesus centuries later.

had gained far more than these riches. She took back with her vast spiritual riches which doubtless included a knowledge of the true and living God.

While the lesson is primarily historical yet there can be some lessons derived from it for our day. 1. The earnest seeker after truth, whether he or she be rich Or poor, will find it in the person of Jesus Christ. 2. Those possessing great riches can be if they will be great sources of blessing to humanity not only through their riches, but also through the wisdom iu spiritual tilings which they may bestow.' 3. Though one may have to go long journeys and suffer many things by way of sacrifice to ftnd the wisdom which Jesus Christ only can give, it will pay many fold. 4. If a person expects to receive the wisdom of Jehovah its reception must first be preceded by the consecration of every talent and every material possession. 5. The axiomatic golden text is a truism which is worth being stamped indelibly upon the memory, "Wisdom Is Better than Rubies."

"The Stars Incline, But Do R»t Compel." Copyright, 1915, by the McClurs

Newspaper Syndicate.) •,

Monday, August 2, 1915w

Good and evil contend for power today, according to the interpretations of the astrologers- Neptune, Uranus and Mars are all in evil place, while the sun and Saturn are in beneflc aspect.

It is a fairly auspicious time to seek new positions or to ask for increase of wages, fljut he whr» is wise will be slow to demand large returns for work.

The sun has an aspect presaging extraordinary success for financiers and Manufacturers. Immense gains, are foretold in certain quarters and much industrial discontent in others.

A strike unique in the history of labor contests is prognosticated. It will involve many persons and assume an international significance. It will not develop until early fall.

Predictions that a society woman would attain honors in a manner little expected are again repeated by a French astrologer. This woman, it is said, is rather eccentric, rniddle-aged and independent. She is a resident of New York, the seeress declares.

This should be a favorable day for all transactions in which metals or the products of the earth are concerned. Great riches will be discovered somewhere in the United States at a time when they will have a special significance in the history of this country.

Mars looms threateningly today. Many problems that will disturb the president are foreshadowed.

Persons whose birthdate It ls may have an anxious year. Those who are employed should be careful.

Children born on this day may be buoyant and extravagant. They are likely to prefer play to work and should be well disciplined. They are subjects of Leo, a sign believed to bring good luck.
