MOSS' SPEECH.

Judge Hughes has complained that •the congress just adjourned has spent two billion dollars. The one billion .dollar congress was reached away back in Tom Reed's time. And if the couhtrjr Is to develop and maintain its place amdng the foremost powers of the world, the three billion dollar congress will be reached in time. If American commercial and political prestige jus.tify it the three billion dollar congress cannot come too soon.

However, these matters all depend on expediency. It may be many years |efore another congress is compelled to spend a like amount. However, despite Judge Hughes' grievance, no party, much less an individual, is responsible. The American people are answerable, and they belong to all parties.

In the first place, the largest expenditures under recent appropriation measures are for naval and military preparedness. The public urged them, and as Congressman Moss points out, men of both parties voted for them. .Opponents of the administration now jdeclare from the stump in various states that these expenditures, were not large enough—that congress has not

been as liberal as it should have been in building up the national defenses. Any other party in control cf the recent session of congress, had it enjoyed equally strong leadership and been equally as responsive to public sentiment, would have spent as much as the democrats under President Wilson spent. No party could properly have spent less for strengthening defenses by land and sea. No party could have spent less in handling the Mexican problem. None could have been less liberal in a dozen other directions where the effort has been to meet the public need through helpful legislation.

It is of more importance to see what a congress gets for the money it spends* than it is to observe the total expenditure. Those responsible for giving the country a two billion dollar session have nothing to apologize for. Buying insurance against war is not extravagance, but a good investment.

HOW TO FIND OUT.

The farmers of the United States carry indebtedness in the" shape of mortgages to a total of three billion five hundred million. One-fifth of that enormous total is held by banks as investments of their own funds or as collateral. For many years there has been an agreement in all party platforms that the farm business, the business of feeding the world, was in need of a more certain, equitable and reasonable source of working capital. The federal farm loan act of the present democratic administration, and to which Congressman Ralph W. Moss turned his best effort, fully merits that need. Ask the first farmer you meet if he wants a change.

I NOTIFICATION DAY.

The notification of Thomas R. Marshall tonight at Tomlinson hall, Indianapolis, wilf be one of the most interesting political events in the state since the campaign of 1912.

Governor Ralston will preside and introduce Martin H. Glynn, former governor of New York, and one of the best orators of the country. Since Governor Glynn delivered his now famous speech at the St. Louis convention last June, there has been an impressive demand for his appearance in all the states of the union. His speech at the Marshall notification'Will be one worth hearing. Governor Ralston is a favorite with the peopje of Indiana. He always has something to say that is worth listening to, and he says itja way that impresses his audiedee. i\

Vice President Marshall's speech will be the keynote of a vigorous campaign which he will wage. T^he national com-

mittee has agreed that he may stay in Indiana long enough to make one speech in each congressional district.

Indianapolis will be decorated elaborately for the Marshall notification, the business and residence community doing him honor in a non-partisan way. There will be a parade preceding the meeting, and in addition to the Indianapolis clubs which will appear with numerous bands and drum corps, there will be many clubs and bands from many other cities and counties.

The meeting will serve as a fit opening for one of the livest political campaigns ever waged in Indiana, in which the vice president, both Indiana senators and all the congressmen, together with a number of senators and congressmen from other states will participate.

BLUNDERING FORWARD.

In announcing his intention to support President Wilson, Thomas A. Edison says: "They say he has blundered. Perhaps he has. But I notice that he usually blunders forward."

There can be no more effective answer to the stereotyped criticism of the president. Mr. Wilson blunders at times, but he blunders forward, and blundering forward represents the highest achievements of the human race.

That is why Mr. Wilson is certain to rank among the greatest of all the presidents of the United States.

ILLINOIS PRIMARIES.

The nomination of Frank O. Lowden over Martin Hull as the candidate for governor on the republican ticket in Illinois yesterday indicates that a progressive has little hope of political preferment when pitted against a stand-patter in the ranks of the reunited party. Hull has been considered one of the state's foremost thinkers and citizens. He has been identified with the passage of every piece of pro-, gressive legislation for the past ten years, and has been looked upon as a forward looking citizen who would make the state an efficient and competent governor. In the test of strength Lowden seems easily to have defeated the progressive Hull.

Lowden belongs to that group of political stand-patters in Illinois which out in the state is typified by Joe Cannon. William B. McKinley and Lawrence Y. Sherman, the avowed enemy of Samuel Gompers. The same element is represented in Chicago by James R. Mann, 'Big Bill" Thompson, Roy O. West and Fred W. Upham.

Lowdei's victory goes to Show what little chance there is for the retention

TERRE HAUTE TRIBUNE.

of the progressive party as an element of influence among the more dominant element of stand-patters, and, too, one can conceive what strangers those citizens will be in the party who made the fight for Hull in case Lowden should be elected.

The chief significance of the Illinois primaries is the stamping out of the progressive sentiment by the reactionary element in the state's politics. Lowden and the gentlemen with whom he trains would welcome a progressive into the councils of the party about as readily as Paris would declare a gala day for the coming of Hindenburg.

LIVING IN THE PAST.

Nothing in Judge Hughes' speeches has so convinced the people that the candidate is living in a past day and is not abreast with the progressive notions of the times as has his opinion on the tariff.

Mr. Hughes continues to make his references to the protective tariff vague and perfunctory. But that is the most disquieting thing about it. The candidate talks as i* this were the campaign of 1888. He quietly takes the fetich view of protection. Its workings are mysterious, but in it alone lies our national salvation. The truth appears to be that this is a question into which Mr. Hughes has never looked with care, and that he simply assumes the orthodox high-protection position in which he was politically bred. He seems oblivious of all that has happened since 1896—forgets the changed attitude of McKinley himself ignores the rupture which the'high tariff caused in the republican party in 1909 overlooks the Winona speech of Taft and its disastrous consequences puts aside the whole question of "scientific" tariffmaking by the aid of an expert commission, which.has so come to the front in recent years, and merely falls back cin the antiquated conception of a mir-acle-working protection. On this subi ject Mr. Hughes will doubtless do better, before the campaign, is over.

Frankly, he couldn't do worse.

"SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE."

Yesterday's war news said that while the Germans were entrenching themselves near Belville they were startled by a cavalcade descending upon them. Some of the men were white some were brown. There was no rattle of carbine or pistol. These horsemen, who had appeared so mysteriously and so portentously, swept in a steady wave upon the astonished diggers and impaled them on their lances. It was the first time since the first days of the war that the British and Indian cavalry had been in action.

In the French official reports, published yesterday, appeared the statement that the Germans had attacked the Russian lines in Chainpagne and had been driven back. The brief statement solves the mystery of the whereabouts of the Russians who landed at Marseilles many weeks ago. One may readily imagine t"he amazement of the German troops, recently returned from the Russian front, when they found themselves opposed by Russians in the I sunny fields of Champagne.

Still another bit of interesting news is Portugal's announcement that she has an army equipped and ready for active co-operation with the allies on the French fighting line. Hitherto, Portugal's participation in the war has gone no further than the confiscation of German ships and the advance of Portuguese troops against the Germans in Africa. With the arrival of the Portugeuses army in norther France, five nations^—France. England, Belgium, Russia, Portugal, will be fighting side by .side.

These new developments are all of minor importance, but they add to the interest of a struggle which for many months was devoid of striking features.
