Dispatches to H-sJthe Tribune yesterday reported that a ^German staff of city officials was betr^'ing chosen for Warsaw, and would be |:.pSin- charge of this late Russian strong y«. hojd from date. Some seek to depre^,u cate the achievement of the German f|army on the theory that the capture ff^of Warsaw has: been a costly one for I *'tj0rmany. The fact of the matter is there 'hiVve been no official communiques

giving the losses on either side, so that is mere surmise. Too, it is contended that Russia's retreat has been impelled by her lack of ammunition. That is '-part of the fortunes of war. The theme of this editorial is merely to report a

fi 'Warsaw is even a greater Victory than ^slthe Germans claim. It is a wonderful climax to the tremendous campaign the German ruler and his soldiers have sustained. Adam Azad, "the bear that walks like a man," has been forced to accelerate his gait eastward out of

Warsaw. Those who would seek to deprive Germany of the glory of the victory view world events too narrowly for this* crucial epoch.

||\s| The Chicago Tribune goes a long way out of its road to attack Congressman Ralph W. Moss of this district for his speech onfnational defense at the meeting of the Spanish American War Veterans. Of course the attack was inspired from this end of the line, and it attributes to Mr. Moss sentiments he never dreamed of, at least he did not

Ir them in his Forest park speech^ as local newspaper men will attest. The substance of Mr. Moss' remarks was that he favoi-ed an Increase in the standing army and in the enlisted men in. the navy to make our national defense adequate to the new Telatlons and responsibilities which hajve been thrust on this nation by eventualities arising out of the European war. This same sentiment dominates the editorial columns off the Chicago paper day after day. It berates Bryan and Daniels for their seeming acquiesence in any less strenuous policy, it has praised President Wilson far his "vigorous Americanism," yet, when like sentiments emanate from Mr. Moss, it refers to him as a "mine of misinformation." The Chicago paper brands him as a ninny and ignoramus. The fact is, that in Its criticism of Moss, the Chicago paper makes It obvious that It did not know what he said, and It rambles along In pretended owl-like analysis of suppositious statements which he never uttered. J?hose who read the speech know that Mr, Moss never presumed to

Pianolas

lay out a policy for the board of strategy or the war college. What he did say was that he stood for peace, but not for peace without national honor. If any Chicago paper wants to take is* sue with him on that tenet of patriotism and American citizenship, Congressman Moss will doubtless welcolme the challenge.

GRAIN AND GOLD.

Bails Hoover, of Honey Creek town ship, brought to the Tribune office the other day some corn stalks measuring fifteen feet In height. Mr. Hoover oppressed the belief that Vigo's corn crop will be the largest in history this year by fifty per cent. Mr. Hoohrer's visit reflects the prosperity and content of the country.

As far north as Kansas, corn is in tassel and silk. The tassel is the blossom at the end of the stalk which supplies the necessary pollen to the silk covering the cob. The present condition, therefore means that the kernels are already beginning to form. North of Kansas it is not yet advanced to that stage. Neither could it be expected at this time of the year. But the conditions as far north as the Canadian border are extremely satisfactory, In comparison with the condition on the first day of July.

At that time the condition was only 81.2 per cent of par. But the rains which raised some apprehensions for the winter wheat were Just what the com needed, as It takes enormous amounts Of water In its. growth. The high temperatures following a saturation of the ground made conditions almost ideal for corn, and it has made notable progress over its planted area of 109,278,000 acres, and now gives promise of a crop of 8,000,000,000 bushels.

The sajme conditions that have wrought this improvement In corn have also Improved the meadows and pastures and swelled the estimates of the oats crop. The government estimate of oats as of July 1 is likely to be underestimate to the extent of 100,000,000 bushels, in the opinion of some private crop experts. Thus, in corn, oats and hay, there is a promise of a large store of the staple feedstuffs for live stock, with a good, margin of both corn and oats for export.

PRETTY LIVE MOOSE.

News frbm both New York and Missouri yesterday was to the effect that the progressive party In these states has not disintegrated .. beyondrecall, and ih bothr .states the organization sounded a call for the reorganization of the state and county committees. These are political signs. The progressive party is to remain In the field. national ticket 1? to be notnfnated early in 1916. The new party will go on with its fight "straight out and flatfooted." ,,

This is the formal announcement of Victor. C. Murdock, national chairman of the progressive party. It is an announcement made as the result of a three-month tour and Btudy of political conditions throughout the country by the new party chairman. Of no little importance in connection with the declaration is the fact that after concluding his own investigation Chairman Murdock compares notes with Theodore Roosetvelt and Gov. Hiram Johnson. There is substantial evidence that the Murdock announcement was made with the approval if not, indeed, at the direct suggestion of the two men who led the bolt from the republican party In 1912.

It is comparatively easy to alter or recall a political announcement. Circumstances may develop making it expedient to delay Issuing the actual call

After finishing work In school, Mr. Engles became ai. rug clerk for W. J. Neukom. Bad health caused him to seek other work and he became a salesman for the C. C. Smith Co., who then were agents for the Studebaker

He made a Buccess in selling automobiles and was trar/ferred to Delphi, Ind., as the agent there. He sold cars there for a number of years. Upon returning to Terre Haute, Mr. Engles realized the need of a centrally located accessory shop and opened his place at 667 Ohio street.- .'

for a progressive party national convention and, in the end, to abandon it. This possibility, however, offers nothing in the way of consolation for the standpat leaders whose fond hope has been that of a reunited organization under their own domination.

RECIPROCITY.

Since the days, of President Roosevelt and President Taft and their inclination to set the "trust busters" after all kinds of business, no single incident has disclosed the reversal in publlo sentiment in this regard as has the express rate decision of last week. In granting the petition of the express companies for an increase In their rates, the interstate commerce commission has recognized the truth of the sentiment so well expressed by Senator Oscar W. Underwood when he said: "The proper regulation of business requires that it must be sometimes helped and not always hindered, that we must occasionally say 'you may* and not always "you shall not.'" Two years ago the commission prescribed a uniform schedule of rates, classifications and rules for the express companies, which went into effect on February 1, 1914, The order at that time was considered unusually drastic, but tire commission indicated that in its opinion the re•auctlbn

1$o0f(5stimulate

traffic t^iaf £h§ express companies would not suffer unduly. After a year's trial of the rates the express companies asked for a rehearing and modification of the order, showing that while-the number of shipments handled had increased 1.16 p«f'cent, their revenues from transportation after payment of the railways for handling express matter had decreased 9.21 per cent. Increased efficiency reduced the operating expenses 6.96 per cent, but the net operating revenue decreased from $1,263,488 in 1914 to a deficit of $1,132,812 in 1916, while operating Income showed a deficit of $2,308,894. The commission therefore found that the present revenues are not adequate and granted the changes in rates asked by the companies, which It was estimated would afford them approximately 3.86 per cent Increase in gross revenues.

It Is noteworthy that no definite opposition was made by shippers. The commission says that the express companies have co-operated earnestly and fairly in an effort to make its new plan of making and publishing rates a success, and that they are entitled to reasonable relief promptly. It has thus manifested a praiseworthy disposition to remedy its own errors, and the express companies, by their attitude during the past two years, have made it easy for the commission to. treat them with some consideration,

How I Earned My First Dollar

Shock absorbers as a necessity 'rather than a* luxury Is the theme that J. B. Kngles.the auto accessory man at 667 Ohio street, works on. Mr. Engles handles the H. & D. shock ab sorber and the Miller tires. Before starting in business for himself, he was in the automobile game. His first money was earned on the farm. "I was born in Illinois, about eight miles west of Terre Haute," said Mr. Engles. "We moved to Terre Haute when I was about eight years old. Of course I yearned for the country and wanted to get back to the farm during the summer. I remember one summer I visited back in Illinois and was given a job hauling hay doodles. I was to got 50c a day. I earned my first money that way."

Solomon's Imperial exactions bore their fruit in a murmuring, threatening attitude among the people and the whole tendency In his reign seems to have been to separate the people from the ruler by elevkting the ruler above any popular rights. This theory was that of all oriental monarchies that the king is made to rule and the people to obey.

When Saul was made king his authority was by sufferaince of the trites, and Samuel had severely limited his powers when David was crowned it was through convenant with the representatives of all the people and his authority was always held to be amendable to the popular will Bolomqn had been named his heir by approval of the populace ana the elders, without aoubt there was much mode of the royal will and less reality to the popular will in Solomon's coronation than in Saul's) the oourt was growing in power, but the tradition that the tribes selected the king and that he reigned through their good will was not lost.

Women should be exceedingly conscientious in all affairs, domestic and public. The coming year will be a period of great stress for them and they will assume hitherto untried responsibilities.

A steady Increase in the birthrate is prophesied, and it is believed by the seers that the children who come at a time when the nations of the world are disturbed by supreme agonies will be of extraordinary Intelligence and endowed with great gifts. Geniuses will multiply.
