PLEA FOR FAIR PLAY,

The Star in a leading editorial this morning does Mr. Hunter, the republican candidate for mayor, a gross Injustice, when it says he Is not supported by the better class of citizens. Whatever is behind the statement, the Tribune takes it that the Star does not know who the better class of citizens Is going to support. The Star injects into the argument the suspicion that MrHunter would be dominated by certain politicians. It implies that a great element In the republican party distrusts Mr. Hunter, and that he will not have the support of many republicans of Terre Haute by reason of the political Cliques behind him.

Mr. Hunter entered the race a fairly •trong candidate. While it is true he has worked with an element in his party which republicans generally thought had been exterminated in Terre Haute politics some time ago, still it does not follow that he would be controlled by this element should be be elected.

The Star, ostensibly arguin* that there should be no third candidate, injects into the situation everything it calculates would be detrimental to Mr. Hunter's interests.

It says the better class of citisens do .not like Mr- Hunter. It says citizens fear that he would be dominated by a certain political clique in the republican party if he was elected.

And adds that citizens would accept •"anything" in lieu of the present sit--HBtVon.

Such ar» apologetic attitude cannot l»ut injure a candidate's chances. It certainly is not calculated to arouse «nthusiasm and confidence of the voters. The intent is obvious. It is expected now that Mr. Hunter will give public assurance that he Is free from such pernicious influences as are implied in the Star article, and that he •ill publicly renounce any relations with the political clique which has for years alienated the voters here away from the republican party.

It is a clever political ruse, but indicates uiftest In tne party r«nks Vhich may jeopardize Mr. Hunter's success. If Mr. Hunter is owned by anv political clique, it does not follow that he would be so controlled if he is elected. Other men have freed themselves of the will of the bosses, so why couldn't Mr. Hunter?

The apologies of the Star for Mr. Hunter leave strange misgivings in the

hearts of the voters. If Mr. Hunter Is sincere In his efforts to He mayor, he should lose no time In making It clear that he is not shackled by any of the objectionable political conditions, suspicions of which the Star has created-

If such distrust of Mr. Hunter prevails among his own political intimates, he should justify those who are going to vote for him by a definition of his relations with any political cliques that will. not leave room for any doubt.

The unbiased and Independent voter will await with Interest Mr. Hunter's reply to the implied attack on him In the morning paper.

ANOTHER BITE.

According to today's war dispatches General Halg has retaken St. Julien and regained a mile of trench from which the British were driven on the west front a few weeks ago. This man Halg seems to be the keystone of the allies' day's work.

The battle In Flanders demonstrates once more the ability of the allied troops to batter their way through the advanced lines of the enemy whenever thorough artillery preparation has been made.

The object of the drive, presumably, is to force a German retirement along the Belgian coast until it is all in allied hands and no longer available as a supply base for U-boats.

A few miles of gain on land by the allies on this coast will add many miles to the distance which must be covered by the U-boats in their going and coming. A little further gain and the entire German line could be turned.

But it will not do to count too confidently on this unhatched chicken. The country is difficult, and the Ger mans, knowing how vital their right wing is, have prepared to defend every foot of their holdings In Belgium.4

HER SHARE.

In registering, the average homekeeper had to throw up dispairing hands- She has no specialized line of service to offer the country she loves, though she may be a capable ruler of the home.

And yet, since a nation Is but an enlarged family, whose needs, appetites and functions are identical, it stands to reason that the one who ministers to family needs should become administrator for the nation's needs, that the kitchen of the family should become the kitchenette of the nation, and the ruler of this little dependency, a retainer in the service of her country.

Then Uncle Sam's lad at the front will enjoy the same conserves, prer serves and jams as does the mother's lad at home.

Why not make a nation-wide solicitation for a certain percentage of all conserves, Jams and preserves made at home? Why not make a requisition of certain cellars in each community for storage purposes? Why not put express and freight facilities at the disposal of home-keepers for transportation of sweetmeats of the home?

Then the woman who has never specialized will feel she has indeed enlisted at the call of her country for her needle will be piled for Red Cross service her "kit and pan" will be wielded for conserve and preserve service.

She will have enlarged the boundaries of her home until it sunounds with motherly care and forethought the lad at the front equally with the lad at home.

It will be a case of extension of service under national jurisdiction, where the rulers of the many home dependencies unite to preserve and conserve the sweetmeats of the land.

AUGUST ROUNDELAY.

Says David Reed, clerk of health, "Enjoy each summer hour, and least of all, think seriously of the high cost of flour."

Blessed are the little fans that scatter breeze around they're on the Job the livelong day and make a cheerful sound. We'd also sing a roundelay to our good old friend ice cream that makes a boiling summer day a gladsome frappe^ dream.

We like our little bathing suit it has no style or dash, but is- our favorite costume, for it means a cooling splash.

Consider, too, the vegetable, that nourish our insldes, and then shy off the heavy meats In grease and gravy fried. The well known lemonade and such are cooling to the tongue, the praise of ice-cold buttermilk so sweetly may be sung.

If old Wabash Is far away and beaches don't allure, turn on the tap Inside your tub—'twill help a lot, I'm sure!

And don't neglect the kids at all, and if you must go by-by, let Bill and Betty stay at home, 'twill save much grief and cry-cry! For crowded cars and railroad trains are all right In their places, but they don't help us cultivate the cooling summer graces.

A shady spot perhaps you have—if this be true be thankful, 'tis 'most as good as icy spray, or of water, say, a tank full! Just do your tasks without fuss and no excess exertion, and even though for Demon Work you havt» a

keen aversion, you'll And it best to do your bit without undue complaining and wishing futilely that it would start to raining'

For crops are growing and the food that we shall eat next winter, is coming up a scooting now, old H. I* to splinter!

But most of all that we must do is to keep our temper sweetly, the corners of our mouths turned up, and. we'll weather it all neatly!

SUNDAY SCHOOL MUSIC.

A Pittsburgh music teacher in the public schools is quoted 4s declaring Sunday school music "the most vicious." Continuing: "Street music usually is written by a musician who knows more- It is- technically £^tter than the Sunday school tunes- The composer is more sincere, but- he expresses a bad mood. In Sunday school music the writer insincerely alleges to express a great mood. Sunday school music is bad for two reasons. The musical Idea is usually a poor one and the tune itself Is bad."

Unquestionably there a demand for improvement of the muslo of the Sunday schools as there is for It in other places. The musio of the Sunday schools ought to be of the best, because of its prominence In the laying of the country's musical foundation. It follows that no expense should be spared In giving the children the best of instruction in music in the day schools. But with imperfections in the art as expressed in so many places, why deal so intemperately with those of the Sunday schools? Could the music bo more vicious than this teacher's criticism of it?

Proceed more along constructive lines. The Sunday schools certainly will not prefer bad music to good if the authorities on the subject take enough interest in such schools to hefp them to the best. In criticising any of the means through which they are doing so much good in the promotion of moral principles, the utmost care should be taken to avoid making their work more difficult. Calling their music "vicious" from the musical standpoint and also questioning the sincerity of its writers will scarcely do good. There are words and ways that will attain the desired end.

When citizens are sacrificing themselves to go to France to shed their blood for the republic, Is it not impressive also to see citizens volunteering to run for mayor? Yes, it is,—not.

Through all the tales of war and suffering, the cables carry an important bulletin to the effect that the grand duchy of Lictenstein is about to issue two new postage stamps.

A headline says: "Congress May Act to Protect Public Against Steel Magnates." Now if somebody will act to protect the public against congress, all will be well.

To talk of cabbages and kings may be well enough, but it takes a gilded Imagination to add corned beef.

Sunday, ^August 5, 1917.

This is read as an unimportant day, since all the planetary directions are weak. Venus, Neptune and Saturn are adverse and Uranus is friendly.

It is a day that is most unlucky for love affairs, and especially for romances that concern persons past youth.

The rule is inimical to whatever is offered the public and clergymen may find audiences unresponsive ahd critical.

There Is a sinister sign for the sea and those who go forth upon it. The aged have the most unfavorable leading during these summer days and many will succumb to sudden illnesses, if the stars be read aright.
