WHERE TO STAND.
A Tribune reader signing himself "Merom" writes to the paper as follows: "I believe that the Tribune is wrong in criticizing Mr. Bryan on his peace policy. I want to commend Mr. Bryan for the honorable stand he takes for peace, and I trust there is enough patriotism in the American manhood to rally to his call and help carry out his policies, for I believe them to be sincere and righteous. With some degree of amusement I read Mr. Wilson's scriptural references in support of his policies of preparedness, Ezekiel 33:1-6. I am almost persuaded that policies founded on principles laid down in the New Testament by the Prince of Peace himself, would be a much safer plan. Are we living under the old dispensation, the Mosaic law? Or is there not something better to set up before the world as the American way, the American spirit? Do we hope to gain the confidence and friendship of the world by preparing to fight them? Are we to follow the example of kingdoms and monarchies who have risen only to fall through the policies of militarism preparedness? Strong nations, yea, the strongest military nations the world has etver knowrj, have been overcome and gone down into ashes, even without exception. The policy has proven a failure. Then why should we, the most favored people on God's footstool, follow in the path that surely leads to destruction
Our esteemed correspondent might .have had some standing in court sixteen months ago, but since that time the United States has beheld nation after nation quoting scripture in justification of its annihilation of a neighing nation, and the law of Mars seems to have replaced the Mosaic law and a few others. A bible on the table is an inspiration, but a shot gun behind the door is more efficacious in case of burglars.
WATCH YOUR STEP.
Under the workmen's compensation law of Indiana, disability benefits are paid after the first fourteen days following injuries. This is in accord with the rule long followed by all liability insurance companies and practices under compensation laws of other states. It applies in a.1, employers operating under the law in Indiana excepting the Central Union Telephone company. That company asked that its rule of paying full cjmpentation the first fourteen days be allowed to continue by special order, and this was granted. it is interesting t« note that of the cases of temporary disability reported in Indiana during September, only 22.3 per rent continiiL'd more than fourteen days. In 77.7 of the cases there was no liability attached, the injury causing absence from work less than the stipulated fourteen days, and in most cases but a day or two.
During October, at the time of making the report, 1.290 cases had not made

return showing duration of disability, 1,344 had reported Jess than fourteen days, and only 128 cases had extended beyond the fourteen days. This was but 8.7 per cent of all reported, cases on which compensation was paid.
Under the medical aid clause there were 315 reports, showing an aggregate of $1,896. Of the total of 2,762 accidents there were 21 resulting fatally. Sixty-eight of the accidents were to women, ranging in agt from 16 to 55 years. The other 2,694 were accidents to men.
At the present time, on the 308 cases pending, there is being paid weekly by the employers $2,164.60.
An interesting notation among the list of accidents is the fact that 87 persons were injured by stepping on nails, one of this number dying 81 were injured by slipping, and 85 by stumbling.
RECOGNIZING "CULTURE."
There is so much talk about culture in some circles and so much commendable striving after that quality, that it behooves us to know just what we mean by the word.
Just what is culture, anyhow? And why do we want to acquire it? A good many people will tell ycu that it Is the possession of a certain set of manners or of a certain variety of knowledge.
Culture is knowing which fork to use for the salad, some folks imagine, 4r, if you please, it is being able to quote six lines from "Pippa Passes" or knowing the author of "The Dark Flower."
Miss Katherine Locke, a well known woman lecturer, gives this definition of culture: "But master, what then is culture?" "Culture," said the rabbi, "Culture is the highest human justice. It is that attainment of mind and soul which can consider with equanimity two sides of any issue which can weigh without prejudice all phases of any interest, and which can differ without scorn with any extreme of another's vision."
Let us remember, then, that the right, salad fork or a particular fashion in clothes has nothing at all to do with this thing that seems by so many of us to be well worth seeking.
It is to be found not in a fact or a set of facts, but in an attitude of mind. And that attitude is by its very nature a/verse to any hard and fast rule, for it is by its very nature flexible. It is tolerance, that fine kind of tolerance which, while it need not accept, is at least willing to understand, every man's point of view.
THE NEW BLOCKHOUSE.
When early New England farmers built themselves stone fences to mark their property lines they little imagined that these woul£ offer the chief defense against the British red coats. When the farmers of the middle west began building silos they scarcely felt that they were playing into the, hands of the "militarists" and giving aid and comfort to that enthusiastically pugnacious element in our midst that are sometimes called jingoes. But they were.
These silos are. many of them, built of concrete and officers of the national guard hajve already taken note of the great value of these comparatively lofty structures if military operations ever become necessary in the fat and peaceful valley of the Wabash.
They are, in fact, a sort of modern martello tower, which one may first remember seeing pictured in Webster's dictionary of his boyhood. They are also a sort of blockhouse, ready to hand, to repel an Invasion. Usually they are located on a height, and within the last ten years have become the most striking feature in every rural landscape. A topographical map for
Carl Krietenstein, dealer In paints and glass, 30 North Fourth street, really earned his first dollar, and earned more than one hundred cents, too. Sijx months on the commons of a little Prussian village, herding cattle from early morning until late at night, with the exception of three hours in the middle of the day, during which time he was allowed to attend the village school, was the way in which he earned his first money. The irony of the whole thing was that after the work had been done and the money in his hands, he had to hand it over to his father. Arrangements were made by his father with a small farmer of the section in which he lived. Young Carl was to herd the farmer's cattle all summer and receive in payment one Prussian dollar (value of about 75c), sixteen yards of linen and a pair of shoes. The linen went to Carl's mother and the shoes he was allowed to keep.
While he herded cattle he studied, studied hard at his books, for he was ambitious, and he wanted the education which he must earn for himself. He was handicapped in the school, as he received the benefit of instruction but three hours a day, while all tht rich farmer lads of the neighborhood were going six hours a day. Carl realized the disadvantage under which he was working, but he resolved to overcome the odds against him in spite of the disadvantage. He had not been in the school more than two months before he led his class in everything. His rapid progress was watched with pride by the instructors, and finally at the end of the summer he was offered the opportunity of going to the high school at the expense of the government. His father, however, took a hand in thin plan and set his foot down hard. Young Carl was not allowed to continue his

schooling because he was needed on the farm. He came to this country in 1858, just a few years prior to the civil war. In Freeport, 111., the first city he settled in in this country, he soon got work driving a team for a mason. For this he earned $14 a month, and to his eyes, at that time, it was a fabulous amount to pay one man.
When the civil war broke out he enlisted with the union army and fought his way through three hard years of war. After the war was over he came to this city, and has been conducting his present business since that time.

Monday, November 22, 1915.
According to astrology this should be a fortunate day, for there are no strong evil influences and Neptune and Uranus are In taeneflc aspect.
It is a most auspicious time for enlarging commercial interest and for ocean travel.
The kindly sway of Neptune is held to bring benefits to all who deal in oils, paints and mineral waters. Fortunes in these will come unexpectedly, the seers predict.
Under this configuration whatever relates to the psychic or occult realm of thought should be helped. A return to what has been called superstition will be marked among persons of all classes, especially among the educated.
Poetry comes under a sway of the stars that should inspire writers to high attainment.
Conditions are favorable for the association of men and women and both business and social interests should be furthered by the government of the stars.
The rise of a national hero is prognosticated. He will take the place of one long before the public, the seers declare.
Women who have attained fame are warned that the rule of the planets is inimical to them. They may be discredited and may attract much envy and malice.
There is a sign omlngus for an organization of religionists, who will become the center of a national scandal.
Heavy losses for small speculators are predicted for the last weeks of the year.
Crimes that have money as the chief temptation will increase alarmingly as the winter advances.
Persons whose birthdate it is have a happy augury for the year. Removals and changes have a lucky leading.
Children born on this day are likely to be thoughtful, studious and successful In life. They are subjects of Sagittarius, the sign supposed to Impart hopeful, charitable, kindly natures.

The yellow flags go fluttering, The nennants gaily stream, The fragile lanterns lightly sway,
The candles brightly gleam. I see among the suffragists A smnll and slender maid, And rush up to the crowded curb,
For Anna's on parade.
She leads a regiment in white, With yellow sashes decked A. vcllow banner in her hand.
Her hair with yellow flecked. How proud she steps! I seem to hear Above the crashing bands. The woman's song of triumph that
Is heard in many lands.
I now what visions fill her mind, What dreams march with her there. And ho the yellow pageant thrills
Wp with a fond despair. She seems ao high, should 1 aspire To mate with such a maid? My hopes incessant ebb and flow,
When Anna's on parade. —Oreola W. Haskell, in Judge.

STORES OLD VIOLINS IN BANK.
BALTIMORE. Nov. 20—In the vaults of the Mercantile Trust company, where thousands of dollars' worth of securities and other valuables lie, more than a score of violins have been packed away by Frank Delia Torre, a prominent society man. In twenty years Torre thinks the Instruments will be worth $4,000 or $5,000 each.
Delia Torre now is in England. He spends his spare time collecting old violins and remaking them.
Sunday School Lesson for Nov.
The key truth of the book is that God's mercy in forgiveness of repentant sinners is equally for all peoples, for every race and condition. No people has yet fully learned it.
Jonah's mission to Nineveh, verses 1-4- Preach the preaching that I bid thee. The call came the second time to preach. God after repentance gives us a new opportunity. The need was still there, the work was still waiting the worker. A wicked city, given to violence, cruelty, idolatry. Jonah wiu to give the message from God— not his own. All prcaching and religious teaching should be the word of God. Not the vagaries, guesses and uncertainties of men. God's message has authority, power converts the soul brings rpal blessedness.
The penitent, verses 5-9: So the people of Nineveh believed God. Hero is an illustration how faith saves. The repentance the result of believing God's message. Conscience was awakened bv the preaching of Jonah. The word came also to the king and his rourt, and at or.ce he acts, steps down from his throne, takes heed to the call of obedience and repentance then calls all the people to put on sackclr.th, sit in ashes, fast and call on God. What a prayer meeting! A whole city—king and people.
Believe God: is the message needed now. We believe everything but Him.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Injustice to Mr. Boyd.
Editor of The Tribune:—The Tribune of Nov. 19 did me an injustice in an item from Greencastle which implied that I had been dropped as state chairman of the progressive party for the reason that I favored returning to the republican party. I was permanent chairman, hawing been duly elected in June, 1915. No one had ever called in question my efficiency as state chairman. I did everything the constitution and by-laws of the party required, and it was due to my efforts as much as any one else that we now have a primary campaign fund of twenty thousand dollars. The trouble has been over who shall spend this money—the state organization or a self-appointed committee. The self-appointed committee has taken the place of the state chairman and the state committee, and in order to put the matter up to the state committee I resigned. I never at any time favored rejoining the republicans. I am in favor of a full state ticket from governor down to township

This book touches the high water mark of Old Testament theology. No other pre-Christian writer quite reaches it.
The story gives Its own moral: "The impossibility of evading the Divine purpose the natural piety of men who know not the true religion the power of God to deliver: the desire of God to bring all to repentance the readiness of God to forgive the penitent: the rebuke to thp prophet who is more concerned with the establishment of his word than with the saving of men the humanity of God who cares fcr men. and babes, and cattle." These are truths which are never out of date.

He mora than any other man typifies the socialist principles. I would be thankful to Mr. Debs for a fuller and more complete statement of what decided him fn. this matter.
