TWO MEN.

^.Justice Hughes' speech at Springfield last night indicates that the judge ft out of tune with the times. Anyone ^who can bait the working classes as does the judge justifies the conclusion that he might be wholly inimical if Clothed with power to express his ani„»tosity to the workers. The judge, in denunciation of the eight-hour law night, appears in strange contrast of the other leaders in public Jf? /i

day and age. Here is

interesting parallel:

^.Speaking of Henry Ford, the New 'Cr ^tirk World remarks that "the conspicuous thing about the Ford millions is the moderation shown in acquiring :them. A great fortune is based on a policy of raising wages to a minimum atad decreasing the price of the product to a minimum is a unique monument to tile genius of the r* n who created it." «. This is in marked contrast with the liiethods. employed by the millionaires

of Wall street, most of whom have accumulated off the necessities of the

passes. The attitude of Henry Ford as

fepntrasted with that of the Wall street interests, who tried to precipitate a railroad strike, is interesting. Here is v What Mr. Ford said: "President Wilson's efforts to avert i ttoe railroad strike are appreciated in 'jDfetroit and should be commended by 4yery citizerj in the United States. Mr. i^fllson did all that he could in calling presidents of the various railroads together, but they are only the nomiifs,al heads. It is too bad that he could i *not in some way get at the real power

of them—a power that we all is located in and around Wall Street, the place from which orders are tssued, orders that make mere messen-

higher wages, and still leave a profit for every dollar legitimately invested. The roads could make double the profits at present rates of fares and pay all increase of wages demanded. "As it is, I believe there is income! enough to pay a legitimate profit, and the threatened strike is only the voice of the God of Greed calling for more profit. It seems good to read the dispatches and to know that our president and out* representatives at Washington realize that the people still have rights in the matter and that they are about to say to the roads that they must deal fairly with the men, whether they want to or not."

The fact is that Judge Hughes had a full month during which the prospective strike was a daily probability and he uttered not a word against "this over throw of the fundamentals of our government." A good citizen inspired by patriotic methods ought to sound a warning when he sees the government "being overthrown." The judge's silence then weakens his alarm at this late day.

THE WAR.

Congressman Ralph W. Moss has a real campaign issue when he sets out to tell the mothers and fathers of this district the contrast between peaceable America and blood- soaked Europe. How strongly Congressman Moss' views are reflected in the public mind, is indicated in the Narodini List, the great foreign newspaper published in New York, which, in a leading editorial Monday, said: "As you well know, on November 7, 1916, all of us citizens of the United States will have to decide in whose hands we shall place the power to govern our country. This is not an idle tfream, but a reality, to which we have to give our serious thought, and then decide. It would be absurd to think for a moment that the great conflagration, which is going on in Europe for the past two years, has not had its influence, especially upon those of us who were born and brought up there, and became, and are citizens of this great country. "The great majority of our readers have left relatives abroad, and a great many have had their brothers, cousins or other relatives fighting on the battlefields, on which a great many met their fate. Through correspondence received from their own people abroad they have no doubt come to their own conclusions how dreadful war is, and if it would be within anyone's power to take a vote among the rank and file of those at the front or at home, and ask them whether they would rather have peace or war, we. have no doubt, and may safely say, that practically all of them would vote for peace. Therefore, there is only one conclusion, that peace is beneficial to mankind, and war is detrimental both to mankind and civilization. "Since the war started in Europe you have been daily informed through the columns of the Narbdini List of the battles and horrors of the. war, and you know that peaceful as this country is it has been on the brink of war several times, but due to the foresight, love of peace, and the interest of its own citizens at heart, the present administration has pulled this country through the treacherous reefs, and the 'ship of state* is still safely navigating toward its goal, which is 'peace.'

This is a remarkable endorsement of. the president's chief triumph, peaceable America, one of the great invulnerable buttresses to the administration which all the criticism by stump speakers has been unable to undermine.

A BIASED JUDGE.

Gifford Pinchot, who met Col. Roosevelt emerging from the African jungles and told him what a miserable failure as a president Mr. Taft was, has issued an extended statement against the re-election of President wilson. Few public statements have called forth such complete and absolute refutation from the press of the country. The general conclusion is that Mr. Pinchot has been "shot to pieces."

He blamed President Wilson for not going to war with Germany over the invasion of Belgium^ which has been a favorite topic with Col Roosevelt. In fact, Col. Roosevelt's hatred of the German ruler is strikingly reflected in Mr. Pinchot's other charge against the president that the hands of this nation are blood-stained for the reason that an embargo was not placed on the shipment of munitions. Both of these grievances are covered by international law, they have been thoroughly aired and are wholly understood by the public, and Mr. Pinchot's reasons why this nation should not re-elect Mr. Wilson smack too much of Col. Roosevelt to be considered new stuff. Too, this consideration might influence Mr. Pinchot

more or less—he has been off the pay roll since the colonel retired. And if the case is not complete, it might be added that there have been no public scandals in the department of the interior under Mr. Wilson. Mr. Pinchot's recollection of the Ballinger case might make him less qualified as a critic.

GET-ACQUAINTED TRIP.,

Adding to its numerous activities, the Chamber of Commerce has set about to extend a wider intelligence throughout this section of the state regarding Terre Haute and her interests and resources. Over one hundred Terre Haute business men will journey forth tomorrow, going as far as they can on the Southeastern railroad, to permit them to return the same day, to visit the adjacent towns located in' that section, to effect a more lively mutual interest and to make a personal survey of conditions which regulate Terre Haute's affairs as related to her neighbors.

It will not be difficult to discover definite and tangible results from such aii excursion. Terre Haute has shippers who have been doing business for years with firms located in these towns. Their knowledge of the territory is meager, they may know their own "accounts," but as for particular information available for the development df'the^bfest interests of both, they have never thought of it. It is not a money grabbing exploit on the part of Terre Haute. It takes a larger view of the case and will return desirable results in more ways than can be set out here.

The plan has interminable possibilities. The Chamber of Commerce in fostering it is doing a work compatible with the purposes of the organization. Few things which the chamber has accomplished commend themselves so strongly.

A terrible food shortage in Petrograd is reported from Berlin. Which reminds us of the terrible food shortage in Berlin, recently reported from Petrograd.

Thursday, September 21,1916.

According to astrology this is not a lucky day. Mercury and Saturn are inimical during the early hours. In the evening the sun is in beneflc espect.

Business affairs involving estimates or financial contracts of any sort should be delayed.

Writers come under a rule that is temporarily discouraging, owing to changes In the magaizine field. Editors and publishers may be conservative in accepting material.

Under this sway it is wise to set a guard on the speech, which is likely to be hasty, owing to a tendency toward the magnifying of petty worries.

Women should be especially careful during this planetary government as the stars incline toward the exaggeration of their personal grievances.

It is a sinister rule for the signing of contracts or deeds. There may be a tendency toward diseases of the stomach and digestive tract.

Persons who have large risks at stake should beware of depression and misgivings, which deceive concerning real conditions.

Women again" are warned that the stars show an access of selfishness and egotism for those who have been blessed with either talents or charms.

Aggression in love affairs and independence of bearing may mark the conduct of women who represent progressive thought, but these traits are read as assurances of reaction toward domestic interests.

The rise of a new staesman, destined to be renowned In history, is predicted for England.

Persons whose birthdate it is may have rather a trying year. They should take care of the health and watch writings of every sort. Young widows will have offers of marriage.

Children born on this day are likely to be high-strung and idealistic. Tfyey succeed best when in some one's employment and should not attempt executive initiative.
