.THE RIGHT FOOT,
.Mayor Hunter seems to have gotten rt on t"he right foot. If he was ever obligated to the powers of darkness, to the gambling element or to the red t*gfit district, he is demonstrating that he has burned all bridges, and that the peoplt can accept as genuint. his pledges td enforce the law.
The police department during the week Has struck o!i^ boldly without fear or favor, it is to be presumed under the wishes of the new city executive, and has indicated in a convincing manner that the new administration has no favorites to play, and.considers that it is answerable to the people of Terre Haute alone.
In police circles it is claimed that most of the- gambling fraternity has left the city. The mayor's pledge in this respect Is said to be held by him especially sincere, and the popular and wide-spread notion that Terre Haute Is a place where any kind of a game can be had is, according to the mayor's police appointees, abruptly and decisively ended.
Several things have convinced the! ported by columns people who, supported Mayor Hunter'of. its churches is the St, Anthony that no leniency is to be shown those basilica, called II Santo, the- bones of enemies of public welfare seeking to the saint resting in a chapel to which many eminent artists have contributed their skillk

public confidence Every time any circumstance has appeared that Would seem to qualify his declarations for law enforcement or imply that his--orders have been given with reservations, Mr. Hunter has as promptly! J, disappointed the seeker of special privilege by proving that there afr6 no strings to his public policies 'for the management of the city.
The mayor can know that as long as he adheres to these rules, as long as he deserves the confidence which the citizen® placed toiplicity In him, that long will he Ond the people of Terre Haute at his back and prepared to go the limit in his support.
The Week just passed has confirmed the people in their* trust in him.- Their hope has been for an immensely improved city government,* and Its realization seems at hand.
THE PATH OF WAR.
"Fair Padau, nursery of the arts," says Shakespeare in* "The Taming of the Shrew," that deathlesp comedy of Padua life. Fair Padua may n6 longer cradle the arts, but there are so many evidences of an earlier artistic genius left within her borders, that all the world has reason to feel alarmed over the city's recent bombing.
The Austrian-Germans have bombed Verona and Venice, happily with little effect, and now it is Padua's turn. The latter city is but an hour's easy ride by automobile from Venice, twen-ty-five miles in fact, and well, within the Italian air qttack belt over which the Teutonic warplanes are flying.
Padua is one of the most interesting of the older Italian cities. It claims to be one of the oldest, but little was known of it} before that first invasion by the Huns in 452. It suffered through many cW.iges of rulers, the Goths, the Lombards, the Franks, the Carraras, the Venetians, the Austrians, until, in 1866, the battle of Koniggratz, which marked northern Italy's final delivery from the Austrian yoke, made Venetia and with it Padua a part of the United Italy.
The city has many examples of interesting architecture, among them the Palazzo della Regione, begun in 1172, and long said to, have the largest roof of any structure in Europe unsup-

In line, when the regimental color salutes, the rn^rch, flourishes, or ruflles are sounded by all the Held music.
The formation for review may be modified to suit the ground, and thi present anns and the ride around the line by the reviewing officer may be dispensed with.
If the post of the reviewing officer is on the left of the column, the troops march in review with the guide left: the commanding officer and his staff turn*out of the column to the left, tak» ing- post as prescribed above, but to .the left of the reviewing officer fn saluting, the captains give the* command 1 eyes, 2 left.
Except in the review of a^single battalion, the troops pass iji review in quick time only.
In reviews of 'brigades or larger commands, each battalion, after the rear ha« passed the reviewing officer 50 paces, takes the double time for 100 yards in order not td interfere with the march of the column in rear if necessary, it then turns out of the column and returns to camp by the mo.-it practicable route the leading battalion of each- regiment is followed by the other units of the regiment.
In a brigade or larger review a regimental commander may cause his regiment to stand at ease, rest, or stack arms and fall out and resume attention. so as not to interfere with the ceremony.

"SOME" SCOOP.
Some socialist, says the Chicago Tribune, has interpreted the taking over of t|ie railroads by the government as "the greatest financial scoop ever accomplished by* the capitalistic class in this country." Still one of the leading socialist paper® now at hand calls the same phenomenon "the climapc of socialistic doctrine, the socialization of all our industries."

with the railroads, But it was never Mr. Berger's speciality to deal in facts. Unless we wish to renounce our intelligence in favor of Bolsheviktsm, it! is important to view the railroad situation With perception ar*{l in perspective. Ever since our entry. into- the war railroad securities .have been declining, "partly on account of war conditions, but chiefly because the earning power of the roads was becoming .seriously impaired without any. certainty of relief. The depreciation .in the parket value of all railway stocks and bonds was estimated a few weeks ago at $3,000,000,000.
The advances itiade in the last two days are not commensurate with the losses already sustained. Without venturing predictions, it seems hardlyprobable that, stocks and securities will it go back to the high levels pf mc. Yet this is Mr. Berger's financial scoop.
Even assuming that certain persons, profited by the government announcement, it ought to be evident that this was merely incidental to the strengthening of our financial position as a nation.

To buttress the credit of the railroads was just* as important as to make possible their/unified operation.
STOP IT, BY GOSH.
In these dank ,and dark wai^ daysthere are so few things out of which we may extract a-laugh, we ought to give thanks when the occasion arises no" matter how ridiculotjs the joke.
President Wilson a few days ago sounded a lofty and wonderful statement of our' war aims. Some of the senators arid congressman who cannot forget politics, and who propose to see that the president gets -no personal exaltation out of this war, scented a free trade plot In the terms, and in Outraged yawps said they would have nothing to do with any such thing.
Utterance by tlfese "Statesmen," (God save the mark), show that they fear the president means to call for universal free trade under international agreements when he makes one of his peace conditions read: "The removal so far as possible of all economic barriers and the establishment of an equality of trade conditionsamong all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance."
The Tribune had supposed this to mean that with respect to any nation all the others were to have equal opportunities. It was a declaration against any commercial union between one set of nations against another, and also a declaration against the establishment of "sphere^ of influence," through which European nations have attempted to secure special trade op port^unities for themselves. It is a generalized declaration in favor of the open door directed chiefly at Germany's commercial necessities.
Speaking about music in the cafes, it doesn't consume any food. It also keeps a lot of people away from cafes, so maybe it ought to be encouraged.
An American officer in France writes home that American made articles can be bought cheaper in France than here. Well, they have to be, or France wouldn't buy them at all.
Twenty-five hunters were killed by accident in Pennsylvania last week. And this at a time when lives are so necessary to the preservation of our nation!
One of the surprises of the season is to hurry with all your might to catch a train, get there in the nick of time and find that it has been taken off.

Monday, January 14, 1918.
This is a day of sinister import, according to astrology, for Saturn acid Uranus are in evil place.
Warning is, given by the^ seers that Uranus may lead to over-confidence in war and tht\t because of lack of prep aration or proper caution, the United States will suffer heavy reverses..
The unfriendly rule of Uranus is believed to cause much mental obliquity, encouraging deceit and treachery and making for unnatural crimes.
It is the power of piis planet that is said by the seers to cause so many German atrocities and by the same sign spies are enabled to do harm, ^especially in the use of explosives.
Astrologers foresee great changes in marriage customs and in many other social relations. In tfie next few years the world is to -become much better than in the past, but its transition Period will be* marked ,by extraordinary crimes and other evidences of the supreme activity of evil forces.
The rise to success and power of several newspapers not now strong in influence is indicated. One of these may be in New York and another in Washington.
Baltimore and other southern cities have the forecast of profit and prosperity. I The rise of a new national hero, who {will not be known before summer. Is prophesied.

Under the questioning of Mr. Clark the young man admitted himself but', twenty years of age, and was told th»t he must be twenty-one or have the consent of his parent or guardian. "I am sorry," said the license lerk*. a rote of genuine regret in his kindly voice.
As the couple went ent, Crfpta Jnrnped upon the comer of the (Jerk's deslc and, sitting there, made impertinent and deriding faces at hlirf. "What is amusing you?" questioned the clerk, who has come to recognize the little archer in ail his pranks and

Next day Regan and his sweetheart were back and the request for a license was renewed. "But you are only twenty yean of age," said Mr. Clark. "No, I am twenty-one," arusrwared Regan, seriously. "This, is my bfrtlk* da.^."
He got this license.—Salt Lake City Tribune.
