OVER HERE

The headlines in certain newspapers indicate keen disappointment because the president has obtained concessions fr0?n Carranza without the sacrifice of the boys of the national guard.

A Terre Haute man wrote a soorching letter to an official at Washington Criticising President Wilson for not plunging us into war with both GerMany and Mcxico, and announcing he has two son" ready to enter the army *hd fight for the national honor. A telegram to the' writer of the letter, •iylrig that there are about 11,000 vacancies, in th». regular army rolls and Asking if his sons' names should be enfrtled at once, has not been answered.

If the honor of the United States can be maintained by peaceful meth oto» who shall say that the nation jahould go to war?

Those who want war must be willing themselves to sacrifice their lives upon the alt£.r of national devotion.

None but a poltroon and coward Would fail to make the sacrifice if the lionor Of the country were at stake, but only those who are in full cosession of 'all the facts in the Mexican situation tan decide what the national interest demands. what man in public life, what offlolal or orator in the market places, can twy that he 1? more jealous of the natlonal honor than are the people them--selves? The honor of the nation,Is Safe in the liando of the American people.

Ahd wliat are the people saying? What are they thinking as they walk through the streets? What are they saying about their own supper table -"ttTieT" 'tff£y have returned from their i daily work?

Two million of tin men of Europe lie in their graves a« a result of the lrtad war that is still in progress, and yet the honor of the nations Involved lias\not yet heen satisfied.

public preparation'sts or public pacifists that have the most at stake. It is the average citizen—the citizen who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, the citizen who love* his family ahd wants to contiiiue giving that family his support and protection who has the most at stake.

Those orators wqo cry out for a given course action in the name of the national honor without having before them a!l the I'acts that affect the national interest in a crisis merely demonstrate their lack of responsibility and their callous selfishness.

For their president in 1912 the American people chose a man who could not be stampeded, and they have had cause for gratltudo ever since.

PARK CONDUCT,

Friction between the public and officers in the parks should be eliminated. The officers should be courteous and the patrons of the park should be considerate of tlie park guards. The present case in which a womai complains that she was ejected from a park bench shows how ill will and friction are engendered. The defense of the park guard is that he was ordered to move the benches nearer the band stand, and that when the occupants of the bench refused to move he invited them off by turning the bench up.

The park guard likely folt his job in jeopardy if he did not carry out orders, and the park pations likely felt that they had a right to sit where they pleased, and the outcome is that the park board has a complaint lodged with it against th.? park employe.

Broad-minced diplomats nre getting scarcer every day among park guards, so the public must make some concession. On the other hand the park guard should exhaust every patient deviee before be flop? a lady on the turf. Park etiquette'is but little different from parlor etiquette. Bnh demand practice of those little amenities which make for peace on earth and good will towards your fellow man.

THE DOLLAR OF THE WORLD.

One very evident result of President Wilson's purnose to establish amicable trade relations with the South American republics is reflected in the news that the American dollar may ere long become the money standard of the western hemisphere. All signs point to the fact that the campaign to put the American dollar mark on the world map. is progressing admirably:* Reports from Bolivia, Peru and Chile Indicate that the governments of those countries wt'l officially sanction the change -from pounds sterling to dollars in international exchange. If they do that, it will be of immediate service to United States busihess. Dollar axchange will permit our companies doing business in South America to save time and money as well as a great deal of red tape, A^number of individual mining concerns in C^iile are already using dollars as a basis of exchange, thus eliminat'ng a century-old custom of making Londo i the financial clearing house for the world. This is one direct Jesuit of the war, and if our United State* bankers can ofTer to South American business men all the facilities and credit whic:~ heretofore the latter have ootained fiom England, Fra.icte and Germany, the dollar mark ought to remain permanently imprinted upon thi:t equatorial continent.

Sayre, who is now but 40 years old, says he does not clearly remember the exact conditions under which he took the contract to cut and split a cord of wood for a neighbor for which he was to receive the first dollar which he could really call his own. What he did with the dollar he does not remember but he says there is one thing sure, he did not put it in the bank.

ThiB was in 1892. Three years later he was graduated from the college and went into the sawmill and lumber business with his brother in Georgia. During his six years experience with the sawmill work the Spanish-American war broke out and this together with business reverses forced him "from the game." In the meantime his brother, Charles Sayre, had come to Terre Haute to go Into the artificial stone work and was instrumental in bringing to Terre Haute the man who was later to become one of the leading bicycle and motorcycle men of this section of the country.

J. Ed arrived in Terre Haute fifteen years ago. with five dollars of this world's goods in his pocket and no job. His first work was with George Smock I as a house painter and he liked the work and continued to ply the brush I for more than a year and a half when he received an opportunity to purchase the North Side bicycle tfhop. He operated this place single handed for two or three years and then employed a boy to assist him. Four years after entering the bicycle business ion Lafayette avenue the opportunity came to buy the store where the firm of J.

SPOTLESS TOWN.

In cities where caseS of infantile paralysis, ha'e occurred health officers report that the majority of cases have been closely allied with unclean conditions, reminding of the old adage of cleanliness .and godliness and their combined virtues. Dr Wiilien, of the board of health, says the best insurance against the epidemic is plenty of soap and water and a ciost eye to your premises.

A great rmss of advice and information is bein» printed concerning this plague which is now claiming victims in many communitcs. But the most concise and perhaps most important fact about it is that its origin lies in filth. It is a filth disease, cleanliness is its natural enemy.

In their efforts to check the spread of the epidemic, therefore, health officials are emphasizing the vital importance of cleaning up the city. Frequent removal of garbage :i of the utmost necessity, particularly in congested sections where the nearness of contact between, families make neglect in these particulars dangerous not only to the immediate neighborhood but to the community as a whole.

Best results in the direction of cleanliness will he obtained, of course, through co-operat'on in fact, without it little might be accomplished. Individuals should feei peisonal responsibilities for conditions in their neighborhood and teport to the authorities conditions that need official attention. This is one way for citizens to fight infantile paralysis.

That has been the chief weakness in our otherwise splendid public school system. Thank God it is being remedied. About ten states are now teaching the bible in connection with the public schools. Indiana is one of the leaders in this movement. Many of our Terre Haute high school pupils are now studying the tible under the direction of the state board of education, for which they will receive credits toward graduation. The teaching is done in the Sunday schools. Thus church and school are co-operating to make Christian citizens.

Paul believed in foreign missions. There were plenty of heathen at home for him to preach to, but the darkness of these Athenians was so deep that "his spirit was stirred within him/'

He felt that they were brothers, for God "had made of one blood &.11 nations of men." How could he ref'jse to share with them the bread of life?

Astrologers read th^s as a. day of contending influences. Venus a-ocl Mercury are strongly adverse, while Jupiter is friendly. I It is read as an auspicious day to speculate and prediction is made that there will be a scandal in connection i with grains or some food stuff.

Physicians come under a guidance that will bring them most extraordinary experiences and large profits. Hospitals will benefit. I Dangers from fevers and diseases of the digestive organs will be serious, according to the stars that rule next month.

Problems demanding cool, clear judgment should be more easily solved while this configuration prevails than at' other tim.es. i Diplomacy is under a good guidance. Russia" will occupy attention on some i question in which the United States acts as a neutral power.

Seandals in which the federal govi ernment is concerned are predicted. These may have to do with frauds in relation to large contracts for supplies.

Again the deaths of notable men and Women are prophesied, owing to the position of the sun in relation to Saturn.

Bereavement in the royal family of Germany is probable, according to the latest reading of the stars.

Women come under a sway that is not an auspicious one for love affairs this month, b.ut they will manifest power in political matters, according to the seers. In one state a presiden tial candidate will lose through a clever campaign prejudice.

Mexico remains subject to plane tary influences that hode ill for peace and prosperity. Plots and treachery in Which other nations are involved are indicated.

There is a sinister sign that is interpreted as warning the United States about some peril that centers in an island.

Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a good year in business. Yopng" members of the family may. cause anxiety however!

Children born on this day have the prophecy of success and happiness. The' moon is their principal influence.

Today more money is being made here than ever before because the price of oil is $1.55 per barrel at the well—the highest it has ever been and because the demand far exceeds the supply.

Now is the time to get an interest in this wonderful field and share in this $12,000,000 per- month pouring from these oil fields.

We now offer you an opportunity to do this. We have no Lstock to sell We own a big property in the Famous Bald Hill Pool that is surrounded by hundreds of producing oil and gas wells worth millions of dollars.

YOU CAN SECURE AN INTEREST. IN THIS VALUABLE PROPERTY'', and then share in all the profits from all the wells we drill on it. We want to fully develop this property and drill it full of wells as fast as we can.

This property is now divided into tracts. You can buy from one to ten of these tracts. The tracts are $30 each, but A'ou only pay $15 on each tract. The remaining $15 if later deducted from yonr.earnings after you have received $30 in cash dividends on eaeh tract. ,In this way we guarantee to return to you in cash, double the amount you invested, before we receive the last half of the purchase price.

"This company has deposited $1,000 in cash with us guaranteeing to any purchaser the refund of all money paid, together with the round-trip railroad fare and all traveling expenses if their proposition is not as represented.

"We have had considerable and very satisfactory dealings with the officers, of-this company during th^ past ten years. They havfe been successful jh the^oil business. I am familiar with their property and believe it a good investment."/

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 15 From my porch on the fifth floor of the Prince Karl, with the whole of residential Washington to the northwest spread out before me, and with the hills of Virginia and Maryland on the horizon, the city of the lawmakers lies beneath "and around me, burning, blistering, steaming, the heat in bluish waves raising from the scorching pavements—and we know that the dog days are prematurely upon us. For two days it rained in torrents— and then the sun came .out ~in all its fury to steam the poor denizen of the capital. The nights fall to bring relief—and the morrow comes 'with all tho accumulated heat 'of preceding days to begin on and with every hope xf putting on more steam.

These are the days that the lawmakers and national officials .. are prone to question the disinterested patriotism of Washington in selecting this low ground, five feet above sea level, but close, to Mt. Vernon, as the capital of the country. Fortunately, however, the streets are all kept cle^n as a whistle, sanitary conditions are maintained above reproach, and the city is thickly dotted with beautiful breathing spaces where the babies and their nurses hold forth in the shade. The resorts arc not far distant—the Blue Ridge just a little ways, and the seasore within easy reach, and statesmen may get an occasional new lease on life by a day or two of sojourn among the pleasure seekers.

Wilson On the Job.

The president, true to his custom of staying on the job and doing the people's work, will remain here through the summer and he has ap parently solved the problem of keeping himself fit in this big Turkish bath. Every evening about 6 o'clock one may see the president and ivy-s. Wilson in a white house car heading toward the country for a spin, the president always smllltig, looking happy and contented, and exceedingly fit and every day in the early morning while the dew is still upon the grass he makes for the golf links for his exercise. His tastes are simple in the search* for pleasure and it is this capacltl to get along on little to which his whole life had accustomed him that saves him r.ow. No tons of ice in a specially built refrigerator beneath the president's office as in the days of Taft. And Mrs. Wilson enjoys herself after her own fashion as though she were merely the wife ot. a private citizen of Washington.

IK These three Oklahomafts recently organized the Coline Oil Company each man investing $175. One a printer, another a clerk, and the third a carpenter,'

they determined to seek their fortunes in the oil business. They have just sold, one of tHeiriofl' properties to the Santa Fe Railroad Company for $1,000,000 cash, thus cleaning up a cool million dollars in less than two years' time and on an investment of only $175 each.

These men did what thousands of other men have done and are today doing in the prolific Oklahoma jPieldf.

Lawmakers Swelter.

Indeed the people who get the worst of it are the lawmakers. The senate chamber only opens on the corridor— 11b outgide ventilation. Electric fans stir the air, and some mechanical contrivance forces some air into the room. But at best it -is bad. And here the lawmakers are holding forth Ifrom 11 o'clock in the morning until

V v

in the

evening with only the inside cloak room in which to lounge, unbend and smoke—which is worse than remaining in the chamber.

One of the great features for the younger people of the capital is the swimming pools connected with the Potomac basin, which are under municipal management and are patronized by the best people in the community. Three half days in the week are set aside for women exclusively, three for men and one day for couples, and any one wandering down Seventeenth street past the state, war and navy buildings and the Corcoran gallery on these days is lead to believe that he has miraculously come into close proximity with a beach from the number of pretty girls with their wet hair down and carrying tiny bundles that look as though they contained a handkerchief, but in reality hold bathing suits. For the more daring there is the basin at the foot of Seventeenth street where men, women and children disport themselves in deep water, while hundreds sit on benches In the shade or stretch out luxuriantly in the grass to look on. The atmosphere is a seaside atmosphere, the odor is a seaside odor, and it requires but little imagination to fancy oneself at some beach.

To take a plunge on a Saturday afternoon, to watch the bathers in the basin, to stretch out on the grass and watch the promen^ders along the basin, and then to stop in at the white house grounds to hear the Marine band under the most picturesque surroundings— this indicates that while Washington is a sizzling city it is not without its redeeming features.

Senator Tom Pegs One.

There are some senators who take to the horse for exercise and. these seek the cool over-arched aisles of incomparable pock Creek park in the early morning.

Who Wants Maxioan War? It is not surprising thiat the. reactionaries' under the leadeirship -of Hughes and Penrose, RootJand" lenger, Smooth and Crane, shoujit have determined to take the Big Interests end of the Mexican problem. It was inevitable and quite proper. For was hot the whole thing fated up at the Gary billionaire dinner? And SO the administration is to be attacked for not going to war with Mexico,

sfbr

the pur

pose of seizing Mexican land which does not belong to us, for the sake of the few millionaires who are Interested in coal, gold, land, oil and railroads in Mexico.

It would be difficult to find iti American history a more brazen conspiracy to use the American government, the American army, the American navy in a foreign country to increase the yaltie of certain millionaires' properties In that foreign country.

Take an illustration: One hewspapd* publisher in this country is clamoring for intervention, denouncing the American president because he does not intervene. That newspaper publisher owns 1,000,000 acres in northern Me^fico. It is valuable to him now if it can be brought under the Americin flag it ,will be more valuable—to him. Therefore, we are -to forfeit the confidence, the friendship, the respect of all South America for all time and tax the people to carry on a long-drawn war, and sacrifice the lives of thousands of American boys—to increase the value of that one man's million acre ranch.

No, not that one man s ranch! But the ranch of several other "patriots", the gold and silver mines of severai other "patriots" the oil property of several other "patriots."

And that is the whole story of Mexico. Call "Fire Alarm" Fall.

The press the other day called attend tion to the fact that Hughes has summoned Senator Fall of New Mexico to Inform him regarding Mexico. And what does that mean? Just this: he summons one of the representatives of Big Interests with property in Mexico, to tell him how best the'reactionaries can serve, not the country, but these same Big Interests. For'SenatorFall is "engaged in mining'in Mexico." He admits it, lie advertises it .in his
