THE LIGHT COMPROMISE.
The Chamber of Commerce has arrived at a compromise plan on the proposals put before the public service' commission by the ti»action company here, and the chief point is that.
If the plan is accepted, th« consumer will escape the ten per cent surcharge by Just half. The compromise agrees to a five per cent surcharge. fco that all readers will understand,
.-•
It might be explained, that a surcharge Is an amount added to all bills to give the company Increased revenues instead of a raise In rates. 2 It has been the policy of the Goodrich administration to be extremely liberal with supplicating public utili-
ties, so there Is onQ argument In favor of the compromise plan. Mayb« the public better accept it rather than get more heavily soaked should the case be left to the tender mercies of the Goodrich commission.
Kate Increases have been doled out hv the«commission with a liberal hand. Maybe the compromise offers the handiest fire escape for Mr. Consumer.
DOLLARS FOR 85 CENTS.
I Notwithstanding 'the enormous epci pense of the war and the great increase in living costs, this country has not yet begun to feel the pinch. There are individuals here and there of whom this* cannot br» said, but the bulk of the population has not been forced by the war to change its mode of living materially. Moreover, there at* many who are spending more money for dispensable things now than they ever did before.
Next week Terre Haute and "Vigo county are raising $500,000 by the sale of Thrift Stamps, It Will be a good week in which to begin genuine war retrenchment. It will be a good weeb in which to buy until it really hurts.
The hurt will not be for long. The stamps are redeemable at an early date at the rate of $1 for every 85 cents invested this month. They are n jMiod investment, and even if they were not it would still be a duty to take all the money that can bo spared and turn it over to the government
The Hun is on the run, and every flnllnr invested in Thirft Stamps will expedite his return to Berlin.
RESERVE JUDGMENT.
Th» shooting affray at Nogales, Ari*., seems to have been di^ to illfeeling between the Americans, who occupy one side of th« international street, and the Mexicans, who occupy the other side. It grew out of personal clashes between the customs officials, tout soon extended to other elemehts of

th*" community, l»th military and civil. Pending official investigations, it is impossible to say who is most to blame. There are pro-German elements in Mexico, which would like nothing better than to involvfc the United States III war with that country, hoping thereby to divert a portion of our military preparations in that direction. They will be disappointed, however, for unless the Carranza government has entirely lost its judgment, it will not provoke any such conflict.
Nogales is unfortunately situated, both for itfl own peace of mind and the preservation of friendly relations between the two countries. It is bad enough to have the international boundary in the middle of a river like the Rio Grande..but when it is merely an imaginary line in the middle of a street it is a provocation for trouble.
HURTING THE CAUSE.
TTsat a gTeat deal of harm has been done the cause of woman suffrage by the antics of the so-called militant advocates of It In Washington Is evident. The harm is not alone in the misrepresentation of the character and methods of the suffragists, but in the excuse It gives the opponents of suffrage to denounce its advocates as a set of cranks.
Militancy is nothing more .than a weak imitation of the methods followed in England, but which had grown stale and were discontinued altogether at the beginning of the war. Suffrage made greater progress in England within a few weeks after the discontinuance of militancy than it had made in yeans before. There never was any excuse for militancy in behalf of suffrage in this country, least of all during the war, when its originators and chief exponents have given it up.
Those who are in close touch with sentiment in the state do not need petitions to prove that Indiana is now favorable to suffrage. Members of congress who wish to properly represent their constituents cannot do so by opposing this inevitable reform.
The democratic party in the state has already invited women into the party conferences, and has three women explaining the issues of the campaign on the stump. The republican organization is planning to follow suit. So it can be seen what headway has been made in this state, and without resort to militancy at *iny time in the movement.
HORNETS LOOSE.
The German supreme high command, after its experience with Foch, Mangin and Pershing during the past few days, must imagine that soma one tipped over the hornets' nest.
German military writers axpress tha belief that Gen. Foch, having failed to break throug|l in Picardy, must soon stop his offensive. The wish is father to the thought. As a matter of fact, they fail to grasp the significance of Foch's new tactics. Instead of a great efTort, with definite objective, and a pause at its conclusion, whether successful or not, the allied generalissimo has been working like a skillful boxer for the .last few weeks.
Jabbing his opponent at first one point, then another, he has pressed steadily forward until the whole line is loosened and a general retreat is inevitable, if it has not already begun. By flanking the strong places, instead of assaulting them, he has consumed more time, but saved many men, and has also succeeded in forcing the enemy to use up more of his precious reserves. Furthermore, he has made it impossible for Ludendorff to organize, or even plan an offensive, so long as he is in doubt as to Foch's purpose.
Once the Germans are behind the Hindenburg line—assuming that Is where they are headed for—Foch's further plans will reveal themselves. Then will come the time for a breaking through operation, but none can say where ft will be aimed. For the present it .is enough to constantly harass the enemy, to force him back by capturing the keypoints of his defense, to weakest his aelf-confldence and kill, wound or capture his men. All this Foch is doing.
'Ts it imaginable that the Fliegende I Blaetter is still funny?** asks the StLouis Globe-Democrat. No—It is the
German daily papers that are funny, nowadays.
Boy-Kd has written a book about the United States. If we didn't hate to think of his collecting the royalty, we'd like to have a copy of that book to read.
McAdoo has issued an order against the sale of drinks on trains, but it is not known whether he did it to discourage travel or to conserve drinks.
The river water is all right to swim in, but as it comes through the faucets it's not a bit like a cooling drink.
The world will see to it that all these monarchs the kaiser is creating will be merely the pro tem. k^nd.
Why does Germany waste time begging Austria for help? The person to apply to is Gen. Foch.

HOROSCOPE.
Mot
"Tho ytan Incline, Bart D« Compel." Copyright, 1916, by the WcClure
Newspaper Syndicate.
Saturday, August 31, 1918.
This Is a most unfortunate day, according to astrology, for the sun, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury are all in beneflc aspect. It is a most auspicious rule for initiative of every sort and should bring good luck to all who make any practical venture.
Both men and women 'should be successful in seeking positions during this configuration.
Political candidates should benefit from the planetary direction, which is believed to encourage public tavor. The fall elections may present many surprising results.
The president, governors and men at the head of official affairs are most fortunate in the forecast for this day, lut all who occupy places in the sun should safeguard the health.
Mars promises victory for the allies. Although delays and unexpected events may retard final peace the seers declare that the war will last through but one more winter.
The salient signs read as applying to war conditions seem to indicate extraordinary success, but September may be a month of many disturbing events. These are likely to include legal difficulties, labor agitation and excitement over religious affairs^
Again death so long prognosticated for the kaiser is indicated by the stars. The seers agree that the German emperor will not Jive to see peace established.
Beginning in the early autumn economic questions will occupy unusual attention and reconstruction work for the period after the war will start definitely in commercial centers, it is prophesied.
Bankers continue unde# the best leading, which seems t.o foreshadow greut financial enterprises that, are cooperative.
Celebrations and holidays will gro^ in popularity in the United Stages, as a result of the development of the community spirit, it is predicted.
Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a prosperous year. They should avoid changes.
Child ton born on this day are likely to be clever, industrious and much respected. These subjects of Virgo have Mercury as their principal ruler.
COAL OUTPUT DECREASES.
Army Draft Held Responsible for Lower Output. Production of coal by Indiana mines for the week ending August 24 amounted to 639,507 tons as again9t 699,315 tons for the preceding week, according to reports to the district representative of the United States fuel administration from 208 mines. Production therefore was about 18,000 tons lower than the highest week of this year.
Operators are doubtful whether the record figure will be reached again. Practically every mine in the state has been hit so hard by tho draft that it has lost men who cannot be replaced. The taking of men to the army has continued in spite of the president's request that these men ask for deferred classification.
During the last ten days many miners have requested deferred classification, but these have invariably been rejected by the district board after such deferred classification had been recommended by the local boards, with the notation that their places can be filled by other men.
The coal production manager for Indiana has appealed to the federal fuel administration to obtain more definite and positive instructions to the district boards in regard to taking men from the mines. It is estimated that every man taken causes a loss of ,8 tons of poal daily.
THIRTEEN AWAIT TRIAL.
Sheriff Dreher Reports Prisoners to Court Officials. Thirteen prisoners are now In the Vigo county jail awaiting trial, according to the report complied by Sheriff Joseph Dreher, copies of which are to be filed with Judge Charles Pulliam, of the Circuit Court, and with Prosecuting Attorney William Horslev. Seven of these men are being held for federal investigation.
The men held on criminal charges are: Steve Hollo, murder Charles Somethner. burglary Forest Rooks, burglary William McMurry, burglaryJohn Hamilton, grand larceny David Jones, rape.
The men held for federal investigation are Garland Gentry. Charles Robinson, Ezra Criss, Louis Dubonovich. Luther Young, Robert Taylor and William Weaver.
ACTRESS HAS FALL.

THE J. B. WAISH SHOE CO.
420 WABASH AVE.
The greatest feast of price cutting ever witnessed in this section of the country is fastly coming to an end. During this wonderful PUBLIC SALE of our enormous $29,000 stock of high-class footwear we have ignored all cost, loss and value, and the people who have taken advantage of this sale have in many cases bought two pairs of shoes at the price they have been asked fo$ one.
When the store was turned over to J. M. Costello & Co., store and stock regulators of Cleveland, 0., they took it with the understanding that they were to cut and slash prices to the lowest possible ebb, and this they have done. Many who bought during the early days of the sale returned not only once but twice with iriends for more bargains.
This Sale is Not a Mattel of Choice—But a necessity
REMEMBER! There-is nothing held back. Summer and winter goods all are to move, and in this limited space we can mention only a few of the remarkable bargains which we are offering Saturday as a climax of this wonderful sale. These few listed will give you an idea of how we are selling this stock. Come early tomorrow, be one of the first when we open our doors you'll see shoe values
