TRYING A NEW TACK.

Aocording to the morning dispatches, headquarters will be opened this week in'New York and Chicago for the purpose of working ufc sentiment for the nomination of Elihu Root on the republican ticket. ,The many crosspurpose* already emanating from the same purpose make for a political situation without parallel in the history of the country.

A month ago it 3semed that Hughes would be the choice of the party. Then came the Ford propaganda, and closely following this was the Roosevelt renaissance, when the colonel warned the party that if he was nominated there would be no "pussyfooting."

I Evidently the party was not ripe for heroics, after all. The Roosevelt certainty suddenly became an .uncertainty. Many who had conceded the Roosevelt nomination hasten to wiihdraw their concessions. Henry Ford did not loom dangerously as a candidate, but the fact that he loomed at ail took some of the wind out of the Roosevelt sails. A party and a nation that could eren think about Ford could be in no mental attitude favorafcie to Rooseveltism.

Now the New York "World comes forward with an amiable and logical suggestion. It adv'ses the republican party to nominate Woodrow Wilson for president. Such action, according to tjie World, would be in accord with best republican traditions. Woodrow Wilson, neither reactionary nor rampantly radical, tainted neither by Roosevelt jingosim nor by Ford-Bryan jiacifism, would be the ideal republican candidate.

Such a proposition is altogether logieal. But logic does not rule political parties or conventions. Republican opportunists find nothing improper in going outside.their party to cjonsider the availability of Roosevelt the disrupter or Ford the peaoe angel, liut they £ould not, of course, accept t,he leadership of the man who leads the opposition to republicanism. Nothing must be done which would so* advertise present distress or so imperil the future existence of the party.

Woodrow Wilson will not be nominated at Ch'cago. But the suggestion -none the less interesting in calling attention to the dilemma !n which the sjtrivers for regularity at present find themselves.

MONEY STANDARDS.

A Terre Hautean returning from (Germany a tew days ago brought some pieces of the new Iron money issued there, gold and silver money being called in by the government to expedite the government's trading with cither nations. These coins are a reminder of one of the interesting and crucial developments of the v

abroad, in that they augur the re-es-tablishment of bimetallism. Moody's magaju-ie for the current month gives some attention to this aspect of the war, and the author points out that such a shift in the currency system here would be advantageous in our new trade developments. The instance goes to show how much of a fearsome bogey that attached to bimetallism in two late political campaigns is being dispelled by conditions today.

The reason urged Is that since we are reaching out for control of the world's marl^ts we should favor any policy that will increase the purchasing power

those nations that we ask

to buy our goods. In other words, we should meet such. countries half way. We are particularly anxious to reach the markets of Mexico and other countries south of us. These countries, along with the Unued States and Canada, produce' over "seven-eighths of the world's output of silver consequently bimetallism would greatly enhance their purchasing power.

Furthermore, the United. States, being one of the largest producers of silver, would be more directly benefited by the increased demand for the white metal. This demand would encourage the opening up of many mines that are now undeveloped, because the previous low prioe of Silver did' not make it profitable to work them.

The opposing argument of twenty years ago that there Is gold enough in the world to do the world's business will not have the weight today that it formerly had Euiwpe certainly has not enough to Satisfy her needs, nor can the deficit be met from the surplus In this country.

The bimetallists contend that It Is not sufficient that we have gold enough to maintain the single standard it is equally necessary that those who buy our goods be able to pay us In gold. In reaching out for the world's markets, we propose to Inaugurate a system of long credits, but those countries that are issuing such huge quantities of paper money cannot possibly pay us In gold nor maintain the gold standard. If then, tha bimetallists argue, we expect to win the trade of those countries, we must agree to the system of international currency that they maintain,—a currency that will serve as bank reserves as well as to make payments for goods- Unless we are willing to co-operate in establishing such a system, the ocher countries may refuse to buy our goods.

When the rest of the world is practically on a paper basld, why should the United States cbntinue to pay gold on demand?

THE LITTLE BROWN MAN.

While the majority party Is divided oyer the disposition of the Philippine islands, the opposition leaders who sought to Inject the sentiment into the debate, that American rule in the islands has been a failure, were effectively silenced by a former government official there, who was recalled by President Wilson, and who one would expect would not be over-hasty to praise the present administration. W. Morgan Shuster, who was a member of the Philippine commission, and who later became financial adviser of the government of Persia, dropped a gas bomb in the trenches of the folks wlfo set out to brand the present administration of the Philippines as inefficient "The Philippine islands," declares

Mr. Shuster, "are today better governed than ever before in their history, To Governor Harrison is due the credit for being willing to undertake the gov ernment of the islands with Filipino control In the legislature. He also un dertook to carry into effect a policy of 'Filipinization' of the public service. He has done both with consummate skill and success."

It had been seven yea.rs since the former island commissioner has seen the Philippines. Returning, he was able to get a perspective on what had been ac

action for the brothers in congress. Americans are not thinking of pre paredness in terms ot political parties, They are thinking of it In terms of Americanism. They are not concerned with the fact that a national election impends. They are not inclined to judge whether a government official is patriotic or not by the party to which he may belong in more normal times.

It is not unfair :o ask members of congress to maintain the same non partisan attitude in their consideration of the questions involved in prepared ness. What is bes,t for the Unitejd States should be deemed best for »^y ^j|

party and for both parties. Attempting to create party divisions over a matter so thoroughly bound up with the stability and welfare of the American nation cannot be otherwise than unprofitable.

Congressional leaders are already talking of an early adjournment, though present conditions scarcely encourage optimism in that direction. One way, certainly, to promote an early adjournment is for members ofboth parties In house and senate to pull together for national defense It ought to be impossible to capitalize party advantage' with an issue so fraught with national significance.

STORY NO. 2—Continued. "We must choose something striking —and original," said Mona. "Stale tricks were well enough for these others—but I rather think Mr. James Schoolcraft Harrasford is going to test our mettle pretty thoroughly, Mary! I should hate to think, though, that we were to meet our first defeat at his hands." "So should I," said Mary briefly. "I've been studying him. I think something savoring of a real romance —something hot and passionate—is what he would like best! I believe he wants to be thrilled. I suspect that most of the women who have given him his ideas have been the placid easygoing type—or else whiners, like that poor creature who was pestering him the first time we saw him." "I shouldn't wonder," said Mona. "What he needs is a woman of real character." "Yes—and I think a woman of that aort could have held him very easily, any time, if she'd been Interested enough in him to take the trouble to do it! Mona—I begin to see a way! Do you remember that beauty doctor you were talking about a few weeks ago? The one who guarantees to change your whole appearance?" "Yes—but we don't want to do anythlhg like that. We've never done anything that made it necessary for us to be disguised, and we're not going to now, are we?" "Not the way you mean, no. It isn't disguise I'm thinking of—it's a sort of transformation of our interesting character! You see, I expect to strive to create a certain impression in Mr.

"but I do wish you'd explain Just what you do mean!" "I will. We're going to fight this campaign out along romantic lines. Well—real romance belongs almost i exclusively to southern races. I think we'll be Corsicans. They bottle ro* mance in Corsica, you know, and export it. We'll be a pair of Corsican sisters!" "Lovely!" laughed Mona, "Oh, I see now. We're going to work in close harmony this time, I suppose?" "Yes. This case calls for a complete change of tactics, it seems to me. So —double harness for us. We love one another very dearly, remember, but that love may turn to hate at a moment's notice. It will, too, if we get

Mr. Jimmy in line at the start—which I'm depending on you to do. Maybe I work out our plans, but you carry them out—and the best plan in the world wouldn't be any good unless there was some one like you to execute it." "What's my first move?" asked Mona. "I'll tell you after we've had our appearance changed," said Mary. "Telephone for your beauty tr^ to come right along. The sooner that's over the better."

The specialist made no radical changes in either of the girls, but the effects of his work were startling. Both looked swarthier when he had finished, and he had effected a mysterious change even in their eyes, while hair and eyebrows were decidedly darkened. They might have passed, when he had done with them, for members of any of the races of southern Europe—but for aristocratic members. And, under Mary's direction, they made changes in their manner of dressing that corresponded with their altered features.

Contending influence make this an uncertain day in which to be exceedingly careful. While Venus, Mars and Uranus are adverse, Jupiter and Mercury are friendly.

The new moon of this date appears with Saturn in a sinister aspect. Neptune and Mars foreshadc-w much unrest and anxiety for the public mind, even though peace will be much discussed. Mars and Uranus are in a relation denoting many surprising accidents and extraordinary catastrophes.

This is a rule not at all favorable for the affairs of women, whose motives are likely to be misunderstood. The rule is read as indicating disappointments and delays in business matters.

Mars is in a place indicating disease among soldiers and possible deaths from' unexpected causes.

Some radical action on the part of women opposed to war is presaged. This will cause much bitter resentment in certain quarters, it is predicted.

Under the adverse sway of Uranus ejxtra care in traveling is counseled. Electric conveyances are especially to be avoided.

It is wise to avoid persons of opposite sex while this configuration prevails. Persons born between January 20

5and

February 18 should be particu

larly careful. The government of the stars continues to presage fraud in handling public moneys and revelations of startling breaches of faith in financial matters.

Theatrical affairs have a rather fortunate forecast for the summer. New York and Chicago should profit during the next two months.

New York comes under a rule that should bring an unusual bulk of business as well as extraordinary crowds in May and June.

Persons whose birthdate it is should make no changes in the coming year. Quarrels will be particularly unfortunate.

Children born on this date may be headstrong and restless. In business they are likely to win success rapidly. Girls have the augury of happy marriage

BAD weather and a late spring have caused the annual spring, house cleaning to be delayed a few weeks. But now that the fair, warm days have come a speedy campaign must be launched by Terre Haute housewives to make up for lost time.

The work must be done quickly, yet at the same time it must be done thoroughly. Few homes are equipped to successfully cope with the drudgery of house-cleaning time—so why not
