I THE RAILROAD STRIKE.

The third party to the railroad strike, f£he people, keenly regrets that this industrial crisis has come at this time. ^IThis Is true, but it is not true that s phere Is any wide spread belief that the

Irallroad men of the country are coOperating with Germany to enmesh this government in war. The'Indianapolis News offers this theory for the determination of the railroad men-to press the strike issue at this time. The suggestion .that any elertent in the group of railway brotherhoods is prompted by Such traitorous and uni patriotic motives is too ridiculous to I Waste words on. The implication is £not only a grievous affront to the great 5 army o? railroad men, but is a slur on '.their cltir.enship that should not go un'rebuked.

It Is deplorable that the brotherhoods vhkve raised the issue at this time. They chafe under the fact that five months ft go they forced the passage of the •'Adamson act which was intended to secure for them the contentious they again crave. lb To, the average citizen the issues ini volvpd appear so big that Ave months ?4s not considered an inordinate period fbr -their consideration. In fact when the law was under discussion it was commonly accepted that its application «and adjustment to railroad working conditions and their many ramifications in public business would require a much longer time than five months.

The public mind, keyed to. a ^defree bf dread over our international situation and the imminence of war, contains a hope that the brotherhoods will •Yeserve for some more auspicious time £lhe' final enforcement of the issue.

Judging- ffSni 'tlie "'tone of the naj^ona! press, there would be les« inclination of public spirit to condone [?r. sympathize with a railroad strike iloday 'than there ever has been in the ]£istory of the labor movement.

The big idea that projects itself out of the situation is the fact that such ,^contentions are impelling the railroads along towards government ownership, ©r, if not this,, then the creation of a federal department of arbitrament whose decisions, by the will of the people, will he made lasting and final

Jn other words'the public is rapidly •coming to the conviction that the railroads are too vital a thing to national life to be allowed to be active or totally paralyzed, according to the amity or enmity existing at the time between the companies and the employes.

THE..WEST SIDE.

The announcement that the Evansville & Indianapolis railroad will, after March 20, run its passenger trains into the'new terminal at First and. Ohio streets, will bring about a big change on the w-est side of the city. This news is of much greater importance than is now realized. Until the rehabilitation of the Evansville & Indianapolis railroad 'the inclination of all traffic interests were away from that part of the city. In fact, it has been thirty-two years since anything like passenger traffic was maintained on the First street tracks, which became merely switching accommodations for

fthe

factories along the river front. Passenger {rains into the First street station will mean more transient business in that part of the city, it will mean property improvements and extensions, it will mean the diverting of 'a larger portion of business activities

to that section, and as the railroad increases its service it may mean a restoration of the active'retail interests of a section which once was the "heart of the cty."

This same locality is no stranger to business. The older citizens who remember the days Qf the packing plants along the river front, the Johns lumber mills, the competition which the steamboats on the river offered to their newer opponent, the railroads—such citizens will hear with pleasure of the resuscitation of the First street neighborhood.

This development of the Evansville & Indianapolis railroad augurs well for Terre Haute. The new financial support which the officials have received in their purpose to extend and improve the systeqji reflects a wholesome faith in the railroad, and when a railroad prospers anywhere it can be accepted as an infalible sign that* the community prospers.

GIRLS IN SCHOOL.

A Tribune* reader suggests that when the new .Rose Polytechnic is built that girls be' admitted to the scientific courses, implyjng that they will soon be entering the fields to which the polytechnic lends its facilities. The suggestion has a counterpart at Columbia university.

The Woman's City, club, of New York, backed by some of the leaders of the 'legal profession, has started a movement to open the Columbia law school to all, irrespective of seoc They have been given td understand that if it can be shown that the admission of women will not frighten away young men from non-coeducational colleges the doors will be tl^-own open to them. The Columbia authorities w^nt "to keep the law, school up to the highest possible standard" on the ground that the quality of an institution of this kind is largely dependent on the quality of the student body.

This is a most laudable desire. But we ^re told that one student "likes women well enough outside, but not in school," while another says, "I am afraid their natural curiosity would prompt too many questions, and so delay the class discussions." Surely we are "not going to pay any attention to such puerile patter! The legal profession is open to worpen. It recognizes no se* discrimination. Why, then, should a representative school that prepares^for tfte-bar presume to practice su^discriminaltidn^^

Woman is becoming more of a factor in business and professional life. She must be reckoned with. It Is a question only of ability, and ability does not inquire into sex.. Columbia law schpol will stultify i^pelf if it insists upon keeping shut Its doors to women students. And as for assuming the quality of its student body, surely it can find no better way to accomplish such ari end than by granting the fullest privileges to members of one sex as well as to another.

VANISHING SILK SKIRTS.

The Terre Halite postofflce has been cluttered up for a few days with mail that is being returned to women of this city and surrounding cities after the explosion of the now celebrated "silk skirt" fake.

We smile at the story of the gullible ones who buy gold bricks it is a good old standby of the vaudeville stage. We have but little more sympathy with those who invfest in worthless mining Or oil stocks.

Women are notoriously cautious about invaditig the realms of high finance, but many of them are pleased to consider themselves "good buyers," or at least capable of driving a good bargain.

Some months ago a concern in Minneapolis advertised a $4.50 petticoat for 10 cents. All one had to do was to send one's favorite dime to the concern, together with the addresses of five friends, each of whom was expeated to repeat the process. The postofflce department, made suspicious by the thipusaiids of letters which swamped the postofflce, investigated and issued a fraud order against the petticoat eoncern.

The fraud order stands and the "company" has decamped. A recent news item says that the Minneapolis I postofflce is still receiving several

Poes Your Husband Drink? Druggist Tells How to Cure the Liquor Habit at Home

Free Prescriptions Can Be Filled at *ay Drupr Store and Given Secretly.

,\lr. H. J. Brown, a Cleveland man, for many years a confirmed dunkarij. His friends and relatives despaired of ever redeeming him. His sister sought the best medical men in fturope in the hope that she might find «nmethinjr which would cure him

Finally she was recommended to an eminent chemist who give her a private formula (the'same as appears below) and told her how to use it. She had it -filled at the drux store and give it to him secretly. The resultis were startling. Its a few weeks he was om piefely-cured. That was over eight -•years ago and he has not touched a fylmp since. He now occupies a positfnn of trust and is enthusiastic in his efforts to help others overcome the «1icjuor habit He feels that he can do tnis by making public the same formula which cured hirri.. Here is the prescription. Go to any first-class drug store and net prepared tescum jwwders. Drop one powder twice a

d,ay, in coffce, tea or any liquid. It is harmless, tasteless, odorless and cannot bo detected. You can use it without the knowledge of anyone. A ladv who recently tried it on her husband reports: "My .husband was on a spree when I got the powders, and lie usuallv stays drunk from three to four week's at a time. After putting the powder in his cufTec- for four days, he sobered up and has not taken a drink since and says he is through with it forever. He alpo complained that whiskey -lid not taste the same. I shall not teli Mm w**t di* it. 1 am srafeful for this heln and I shall recommend it whenever possible.'

NOTE A leading drug-gist when shown the above article said: "yes tescum is a very remara'kle remedy for the drink habit. It- is harmless, wonderfully effective and is having an enormous sale. I advise everyone who wishes to destroy the liquor habit to jrive It a trial." It is sold, in this city by the New Central pharmacy and ail other first-class druggsts, and they suarantep it to do the work or refund the money.—Adv.

LOOK JIT TONGUE

Hurry, Mother! Bemove Poisons From Little Stomach, Liver, Bowels.

Give "California Syrup of Figs" If Gross, Bilious or Feverish.

No matter what ails your child, a gentle, thorough laxative should always be the first treatment given.

If your little one is out-of-sorts, half-sick, isn't resting, eating add acting naturally—look, Mother! see if tongue ils coated. This is a sure sign that it's little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with waste. When cross, irritable, feverish, stomach sour, breath bad or had stomach-ache, diarrhoea, sore throat, full of cold", give a teaspoonful of "California Syrup of Figs," and in a few hours all the constipated poison, undigested food and sour bile gently moves out of its little bowels without griping, and you have a well, playful child again.

Mothers caxl rest easy after .giving this harmless "fruit laxative," because it r.ever fails to cleanse the little one's liver and bowels and sweeten the stomach and they dearly love its pleasant taste. Full directions for babies, children- of all ages and for grown-ups printed on each bottle.

Beware of counterfeit fig syrups. Ask your druggist for a 50-cent bottle of "California Syrup of Figs," then see that it is made by the "California Fig Syrup Company.—Advertisement.

thousand letters a day, each containing its thin dime aifd Its five addresses. If any Terre Haute store would make such a' ridiculous clarrn, women who follow the advertisements basely would lift their eyebrows suspicious??. "A $4.50 silk petticoat for 10 centsfj Some proof reader has made a dreadful mistake!" would be the attitude of the average woman.. If she gave it a moment's thought she would know that no business firm. could remain solvent if it continued to hand over something for nothing very long.

But the trusting ones who accepted it without reasoning out its improbability, are now wondering why the beruffled taffeta has failed to arrive.

The lure of getting a whole lot in return jjfofenothing-at all appears to ,ttaV'6 .aC'fjferpetual hold on the average human being. And you men, over in the amen corner, needn't laugh about that petticoat deal, either how about that $4.50 you spentj shaking dice in a cigar store in order to get It 10-cent La Alfalfa for nothing?

HOROSCOPE.

"Tli* Stars Jacllne, But Do Not Compel." copyright, 1915, by the MeCluie

N«w«pap«r Syndicate.

Saturday, March 18, 1917.

Astronogers find this an unimportant day in planetary rule, but Jupiter is in benefic aspect. Uranus is fairf'tly adverse.

Jupiter now in Taurus should benefit Ireland, even though, being in square to Neptune the planet presages sedition and unrest. There is indication of independence and natural development after the war.

Although there is constant peace agitation and it has been prophesied that the end of the summer will bring the- close of the war, the forecast for., next November and December shows danger of a severe criseS, which may precipitate bloodshed and renew hostilities, if they have ceased.

The eclipses all bode evil that mas' be far removed from the United State's, but peril in altered relations with a foreign power is foreseen.

While Ireland will continue under a beneficent rule of the stars for several months, England probably will confront newv problems, for the moon foreshadows unfavorable international relations.

Uranus gives warning that men and woman who are entrusted with authority will be easily influenced. Scandals will multiply, especially in Connection with military and naval affairs.

Congress continues subject to guidance making for a sesion of sensational incidents. A leader' may be discredited.

Members of parliament in England will be discredited, owing to peace negotiations, the seers prophesy, and one may meet death by assassination.

Russia has a guiding star 'thjjt is sinister in its indications -making for graft in- government Contracts, heavy losses in battle and sensational events In which the czar will suffer.

Portugal and Norway come under an exceedingly threatening sway, which may bring them disaster.

Persons' whose birtlidate it is. have the augury of. a successful year iii business. Travel and change will n#t be lucky.

Children born 'on" this dsSy probably will be fortunate in whatever they undertake. These subjects of Pisces ftften are endowed with logical, methodical, mathematical brains.
