SAFE AND SANE.

Congressman Ralph W. Moss is cori'Te^t in his statement that while critics ii v of'President Woodrow Wilson are say|ln* that "He's got to go into Mexico v *nd clean it up,".they.will not dare to iMBP this argument in the coming camjkalgrn.* The American people are not clamoring for strife with Mexico.

This "got to clean up Mexico" senti|indnt is less of a mystery than it was "some months ago. iT That certain American interests, smferft alive to promote their own profits jthttn responsive to the welfare of ttfe j|b«)untry, hive endeavored for many s Mfrnths to embroil this nation in hos"V' 'Milities against Mexico is a matter of jesrfbmon belief, if not of common know?l pledge.

ments and peoples and "whether, In particular, by the "manufacture" and dissemination of false news reports the attempt has been made to create in the minds of Americans distrust of the Mexican authorities and fear of the Mexican masses.

Such an announcement is thoroughly welcome. Americans with the interests of their country at heart will hope that the projected investigation will be thorough and that whatever action the circumstances may seem to require will be taken with promptness and vigor. It is time these rumors of underhanded work were either proved or silenced.

CRUEL SUMMER.

Summer has its drawbacks even here in Terre Haule, while tnrough the torrid solstice we languidly do float. The Wabash thick and humid lai'S its banks In sheer despair as the zephyrs from that neighborhood remind of singeing hair. Oft in the summer night time ere slumber's chain has bound us, we hear sleep-wrecking noises 'in the streets and houses round us. Just when we hit the mattress and seek our soothing pil.'ows to dream of frappe icebergs amid the cooling billows, though the temperature is soaring and it's hot enough to scorch, we hear a festive banjo on our next door neighbor's porch.

Borne on the torrid breezes in accents deep find dark, the voice of Handsome Harold is singing at a mark. He starts the moment musical by warbling "Old Black Joe," and all the other sure-fire hits that grandpa used to know.

Clear down to "Hello, Frisco," and "Underneath the Stars," the troubadour a-twitter serenades us with sweet bars. About this time the baby upstairs, who's cutting teeth, adds a wail of protest to tlie hubbub down beneath. Across the hall's a party, we know they're playing rum, and from the trusty echoes we learn whose hand is bum.

A piano pliyer's working with all Its might and main, and the Jolly Bunch is dancing to its thumpoly refrain, Telephones are ringing, and although it's after 10, pomeoiie puts on a record and they fox trot o'er again. The ceiling right 'above us where we vainly seek repose may come down any minute and

on our nose.

At last there is a silence, the taxis in the street chug and snori and sputiefr and beat a quick retreat. We breathe a sigh of gladness as we hear the anight,, and see the erstwhife%oi^^^lurn out the parlor light. Bi^tiftlas for, expectations, the milkman next lippearq,' ai}d the rattle of his

INDEPENDENT VOTER.

Large numbers of the progressives have reunited with the republican party, but ^vldentJy there are some who have not as yet made up their mind. Today's dispatches say that State Chairman Edward Lee "has ousted William Dye, national committeeman, for surrendering at Chicago when Roosevelt din. and tho call for a state meeting would indicate that the moose, which was thought dead two weeks ago, has a kick left in it yet.

The eastern newspapers are giving much spaoe to discussing the attitude of the progressives. Instead of choking off the party nationally, through the several moves of its would-be kidnapers at Chicago, that sction seems really to have revived the intertst and to have roused the rink and file, meaning the men who do the voting, into new determination and activity. The stand taken by men like Bainbridge Colby, of New York, whb Is to address the Indiana progressive convention July 20 of John M. Parker, who still stands as the vica-presidential nominee, and of Francis J. Heney, of San Francisco, all men of national reputation,'has Interested a following that will not be. sat upon. While Mr. Hughes is sending his message to Governor Johnson, of California, telling the governor "I desire a reunited party as the essential agency nt national progress," the governor is himself accepting the honor Of repie3enting the California proerress'jves as their candidate for United States senator.

Quoting the Hughes message to Johnson, the New York World says editorially: "Governor Johnson aiso desires a reunited party as a candidate for senatorial election by that party and with him, unquestionably stand many progressives, including thirty-two of the fifty members of the national committee. But there are other progressives in California and e'sev/here who, like Francis J. Heney, onco Gov. Johnson's associate, refuse to sink in such a onesided merger their party identity and ideals. "The out-and-out progressives note that Mr. Hug'ies doen not call for a union of parties, but a reunited party. Different as he may be in other ways, he resembles such .machine leaders as Penrose and Can.non In viewing progressivism solely as a republican schism. He will' not meet the wanderers half way.

hearty, but he clings to tho shelter ol the old home. He speaks of 'our common purpose,' but neither in the records and the character nor in the declaration of policies of the men who ruled at Chicago is there promise of attainment for thai purposes of progressivism. The stand-pat leaders invite progressives riot to a fair compromise of diverging views, but to surrender."

The people uf the eastern states are watching the action of the Indiana progressives at their state convention with much interest. Other states have been taking action similar to that of Indiana in repudiating the action of the national committee, and the eastern progressive? have iieen considering the wisdom of calling the national committee to name a candidate in place of Theodore Roosevelt, a power vested in the committee by the Chicago progressive convention. The progressives contend that the things for which the party has contended can never be brought into action through supporting the Hughes-Fairbanks combination, which Is backed by the Cannons, the Penroses, the Murray Cranes and/alUttve rest of their kind.

Since Roosevelt has deserted the ship the new movement tc resuscitate •the party may hot amount to much, but it goes to show that the old spirit in which the party was conceived has not passed from the face of the earth, as yet.

The trouble about twentieth century wars is that when one side wins a glorious victory the other side claims it as a failure to gain anything. So nothing happens but slaughter.

Saturday, July 15, 1916.

This is not a favorable day for good and evil influences contend for domination. Saturn, the sun, Nepturie and Jupiter are all in malefic aspect. Mars alone is friendly.

At the time of the partial eclipse of the full moon on this date the sun, near the conjunction of Saturn, is held as exceedingly sinister for England, and may foreshadow the death of distinguished persons in strange and peculiar ways. It also indicates an increase of suicides.

Mars is in a place supposed to presage severe storms that may damage crops. The position of this planet may be unfavorable for Paris, which is likely to develop discontent among the people, who will perhaps feel that they have not had fair treatment in some war plan of the allies.

The passing of Uranus through Aquarius will have surprising effect on Russia, the seers declare, and it is prophesied that some movement toward self government will meet with partial success.

Under today's configuration it is wise to pursue the routine occupations

MR. CHAS. A. WARNER. "I want to express my thanks for the good Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has done me. My attending physician told me I could not live three months and said I had consumption of the stomach. I read your advertisement in the newspaper, bought a bottle, took it, a.nd it has done me so much good I cannot praise Duffy's enough. I have taken it for three years and keep it in the house all the time. I would not be without Duffy's. I am 63 years of age."—Mr. Charles A. Warner, Cambridgeport, Vt.

Some cigarettes may be mild, but they don't satisfy.

This is a new kind of enjoyment for a cigarette to give. It is something that no cigarette, except Chesterfields can give you, regardless of price.

It is not a lucky rule under which to seek employment or promotion. If those who have authority happen to be old, then the chances of success are diminished as the sway is held to increase crabbedness and to encourage suspicion concerning employes.
