AN INSPIRATION.

A dispatch to the Tribune yesterday told of Oeneral Joffre's and General Pershing's visit to the site of the bastille In Paris. These few lines start train of thought which convinces that in their joint struggle, to put down tyranny and raise up democracy, they were standing on historic ground.

The surrender of the bastille to the people of Paris has through all these years been accepted aa the dominant Incident In the French uprising. It meant not alone the fall of the stronghold of oppression. It meant the wreckage of the system that had goaded France beyond endurance.

The old fortress-prison was part of the ancient fortifications of Paris, at the gate of Saint Antoine, and dated back to King John the Good, in the fourteenth century. At first it had but two towers, but when completed In 1869 had eight, with thick walls, find a ditch twenty-five feet wide.

It changed garrisons many times, Wing a strong point of vantage, and on several occasions played an important prat in historical struggles. While it was originally a fortress, it early became a prison in which state offenders were immjured—and often forgotten. Henri IV made it his strong box in which be deposited his immense treasures.

Its use as a prison dated back to 1375,'when, It Is said, the first Frenchman confined there was the architect and builder of the structure.

It was for mnny years an obnoxious «bject to the people of Paris, and was one of their first points of attack when the revolution broke down the barriers. Soon after its capture it was razed to the ground.

to file a tribal report, attended one of the Rev. Billy's services and since they returned home to Minnesota they have respectfully petitioned the government to permit them to perform their medicine dance, with them a religious rite, which some subordinate official has forbidden.

We gather from the esteemed publications of the bureau of ethnology thai the Minnesota Chlppewas are a peaceable people, house-broken and addicted to clothes and cook stoves, but still loving their old customs.

A part of the year's Joy consists of great gatherings, tribal visits, in which there is much good cheer, singing of native songs and dancing of native dances.

Why should the United States deny these simple people their right to keep up the traditions and culture of their race? Perhaps some missionary thinks the dances are ungodly, or maybe an, Indian agent favors the Prussian method of inoculating kultur and Is going to civilize the Chippewa* that way.

If so, it may be worth while to point out that several of the greatest holidays of the Christian church were first heathen. The chtirch took them over. WThy not let the Chlppewas danoe and teach them to "dance before the Lord"?

The incident eloquently sustains the claim that Rev. Billy Sunday does do some good in this world.

THE BAVARIANS.

It has long been said that if any element of the German people would strike a blow for liberty and for the overthrow of the Prussian war lords it would be the Bavarians. These are the high spirited Germans of the south of the empire who have never quite acquiesced in the determination of the Hohenzollerens.

However, there are no signs of a Bavarian revolt- Neither does the retirement of Von Hollweg now appear to be an advance of parliamentary rule in Germany.

Hollweg was ousted, according to the Associated Press reports, through the influence of the crown prince, and the accession of Michaelis, who is little known outside of Germany, is taken to mean the complete dominance of Von Htndenburg and .Von Ludendorff, his right-hand man.

In other words, the Junkers are in the saddle at every point, and even so mild a weathercock and compromiser as Hollweg is not left to interfere with their plans of ruthlessness or to urge the kaiser to more pacific measures.

should receive for your dollar.

So far as the kaiser is concerned, It Would seem that he had for the time turned things over to his eldest son, the head of the war party.

This may prove significant, In view

The Worth of* Your Dollar

The dollar is the unit of exchange in Indiana as the nation.

When the rates for electricity in Indiana cities were fixed by law the governing bodies determined, after careful investigation, how much electricity you were entitled to receive for a dollar. They figured the cost of producing electricity, the cost of delivering it to you, the amount of money invested in the plants necessary to serve you and the rate at which these plants depreciated. They arrived at definite figures for each of these items and then they added a reasonable profit for your neighbor, the utility, and said that the utility should give you a certain amount of electricity for every dollar you paid the utility.

THAT ACTION FIXED BY LAW THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY YOUR DOLLAR WAS WORTH.

The utility took your dollar and, acting as your agent, bought the coal and the labor and other things necessary to supply you with electricity. At that time your dollar would buy enough coal and labor and othei necessary things to supply you with the amount of electricity the law said you should get for a dollar.

BUT THE STATE DID NOT FIX THE PRICES THE UTILITY SHOULD PAY FOR THINGS NECESSARY TO PRODUCE ELECTRICITY.

These prices increased steadily fend the utility was bound by necessity to purchase at any price.

Now these prices have increased to such an extent that with your dollar the utility cannot buy enough to supply you with what the

YOUR DOLLAR IS NO LONGER WORTH THE AMOUNT OF ELECTRICITY THE LAW SAYS IT SHALL BUY.

The utility, your agent and servant, must add to each dollar you give it for electricity, in order to supply you.

The captain points out In advance the selected position in front of the line occupied. The designated number of squad moves to the front the line thus formed preserves the original intervals as nearly as practicable when this line has advanced a suitable dis-, tance (generally from 100 to 250 yards I depending upon the terrain and the character of the .hostile fire), a second is sent forward "by similar commands, and so on at irregular distances until the whole line has advanced. Upon arriving at the Indicated position, the first line is halted. Successive lines, i upon arriving, halt on line with the! first and the men tako their proper i positions In the skirmish line.

Ordinarily each line is made up ol one man per squad and the men of a squad are sent forward in order from right to left as deployed. The first line is led by the platoon leader of the right platoon, the second by the guide of the right platoon, and so order from right to left.

The advance is conducted in quick time utiless conditions demand a faster gait.

The company having arrived at the Indicated position, a further advance bv the same means may be advisable.

of the rumors of Wilhelm's abdication, which were promptly denied. Nevertheless, it is the first sign of wavering the emperor has yet shown, and in consenting to the resignation of Hollweg, his former classmate and closest adviser up to the present, he has done something that will cduse endless speculation until the real reason is disclosed.

From one point of view the changes may hasten the end of the war. They are, in effect, a defiance of the gathering sentiment, especially in Bavaria and the other South German states, and in Austria, for a declaration for peace without annexations or indemnities. They make the granting of practical electoral or other reforms in Prussia seem very remote. They promise nothing but a continuation of the war until Germany is victorious or beaten.

monstrous and strangely remote specimen somewhere out in the land of fancy.

The current number of the Literary Digest considers this very aspect of the danger in an article by Williard Wright, who accuses the medical profession of being actuated)in its treatment of those addicted to narcotics, by both "purltanism and imaginative literature." In short, that we are prone to think that the victim of morphine or cocaine is a sinner rather than a patient that we are mixing morals and pathology. The average physician, says Mr. Wright, gives comparatively no thought to the subject he regards It, not as a branch of his own profession, but as a semisocial problem for economists and lawmakers. When a drug-addict applies to him for relief, he indulges in a moral reprimand and recommends a sanitarium. He does not realize that the question is as much a medical one as the question of any ordinary and prevalent disease. And even the drug specialist, who does profess to know something about the subject, errs In the same way, Mr. Wright avers. He says: *'I have yet to read one book written by these experimenters which does not show strong influences of the literary superstition regarding drugs and their effects. Consequently the results have been far from satisfactory. Drug-ad-diction is a disease. The fact that it is self-imposed does not,alter its status, any more than self-imposed indigestion changes the character of dyspepsia. And until doctors so regard it there will be little success in its treatment. Just so long as the drug habit is approached socially or morally, just so long will It evade being conquered. "A wholly Impersonal and scientific attitude is indeed difficult under the present circumstances, and I do not wish these remarks to be considered as malignantly critical of those men who are now working along this lino. "If, as is so often claimed, moral degeneracy sets in and the user Is deprived of all pense of decency and willpower, how can any cure be effected? Why, in fact, should a cure b« attempted? Will relieving a man of drugs recreate this high moral sense? "The inconsistencies of the present system are too numerous to record. A new attitude Is needed. ,And the first consideration toward an intelligent conception of the subject is to rid one's mind once for all of the moral superstition in regard to drugs for there

Is no convincing proof that drug-using and moral degeneracy are any more related than any trying disease and morality are related. Until we reach a state of ignorant barbarism where one will punish men for acts under extreme physical duress—such as those committed by a man lost at sea and crazed with thirst—it would be more In keeping with the age of enlightenment to regard the acts of drug-users crazed by enforced abstinence In the same light as we do the acts of any other victims of physical and mental suffering."

Mr. Wright regards the "taperingofT' method as the logical one for the cure of the habit, and he devotes several pages to marshaling th© reasons for his belief.

"Ask a soldier home to dinner*^ is a Canadian slogan -which has proved very popular. It gives the soldier boy away from home a glimpse of home life, as well aa a square meal, and helps to keep him in touch with those social standards and ideals that are for his beet interest. T^ry It.
