A FIZZER.

The Tribune's Washington corres-

pondent says that the sensation over the alleged **Ieak" about the peace

treaty has splattered out It has become a joke, and the crafty gentlemen "•who planned, to foist this thing on the |ublic have gotten under cover and do Tv/t care to identities, with th* enterprise longer.

It was Senator Lodge, chief enemy

t*le

president, who rose In his place

In the senate and solemnly announced that he had seen a copy of the peace treaty in the hands of an unnamed man in New York, and it was he also who strongly Intimated that somebody In the American delegation to the peace conference had shown favors to New York business men which the president would not accord to the members of the senate. His evident intent was to lead the country into a belief that there had been a monstrous abuse of power by the president.

It was Senator Borah, the real leader of the republicans in tneir opposition to the league, who followed Lodge and said that by some process of putting $ two and two together he had reached /jth© conclusion that Wall street. In the A* Pursuif of some sort of financial consptnSqy, had obtained copies of the treaty. What Borah said was beautifully indefinite, but he left room for the Inference that big business was playing a game in Paris while the

American people represented bjr the senate were being shut out. An investigation was ordered" and the foreign relations committee, headed by Lodge, immediately summoned a carload lot of money kings, including such excellent American# as Paul Warburg, Henry Davison and Frank Vanderlip, to come to Washington and confess. There was absolutely nothing before the senate which remotely connected any of those gentlemen or any of the others with any sort of con spiracy or impropriety of any kind. They were summoned on suspicion, and even the suspicion was a pretense. Lodge knew who had the mysterious!

Th«y h?d their hearing, and one voluntary witness—a man who was not summoned—brought the whole thing to a ridiculous end. Lodge knew all the while that Elihu Root was the man who had tha treaty, because showed it to I^odge, but Lodge, though chairman of the committee, did not

summon Root. He stood one side and let his wild-eyed associates summon all Wall street.

But Root came of his own accord and told the committee that he got the treaty of Henry P. Davison, who had it from his business associate, Thomas Lamont, a member of the American commission In France, who gave it to Davison in his capacity as head of the American Red Cross. The rights and powers of the Red Cross are dealt with in the treaty. Why Davison gave it to Root does not appear, but, at any rate, nobody else saw it, and the facts showed that there was no wrongdoing by anybody, unless one blames Lamont, and no Wall street conspiracy of any kind was connected with the so-called leak.

The committer adjourned after -Root had revealed the facts and named no day for a further hearing. So ended a farce. So ended the cheapest, flmsiest, meanest attempt to discredit the president and the league of nations that has yet been attempted.

HAS AN ALIEN ECHO.

copy of the treaty and knew that the sitting in congress on account of a litman who had it was a discreet and

eminent man, who evidently happens to be politically in the wrong camp. Borah's Wall street conspiracy was a mere mare's nest.

Victor Berger, who is not at present

tie trouble he had with the law, said ii\ his recent New York speech that Americanism is synonymous with capitalism and patriotism with profits, The only real reason he found for American participation in the war were the ties of blood and finance that bind thte United States to Great Britain, and all the rest he declared to be hypocrisy.

We reproduce his words because It is desirable that several million young Americans who went into the army shall know a representative socialistic view of what they were about.

Socialistic doctrine, as voiced by Berger, makes all of those young men either conscious participants in a war for pelf or else the dupes of an enormous machine drganized to carry world exploitation under a hypocritical cloak of idealism. The United States could not be that kind of country, and the army could not have been that kind of army, unless the people are about 96 per cent fools and knaves. Mr. Berger. we believe, thinks the young veterans of the army are mostly fools.

WHERE GERMANY STANDS,

Reports from Paris Indicate—that there has been a considerable change of opinion since the time when it was said that Germany would not be admitted to the league of nations until after a period of years and sentiment is veering toward an early admission of the 5ountry. It is even said that the peace council has decided upon this course.

One mtsoti for this fcositidft 1st no doubt, the fact that the new German government has maintafned itself and functioned as a government -for six months. It h$s weathered the Bolshevik storm in Prussia and Bavaria, it has survived serious labor troubles, it squelched the Rhine republic in a few, days. It is maintaining order, and, ap par erf the great majority of the

WwMwmiH

"ASiD IN THE EIGHTH HE SMASHED OUT A THREE-BAGGER.*

German people are content to live under its rule. Assuming that the government is permanent and that it is sincere in its expressed wish to maintain a republican form, then it may be said that Germany should be admitted. Admission implies no weak forgiveness and no compromise with justice. The terms of the treaty will be enforced with Germany in as they would be with Germany out. The purpose of admitting Germany would be the same as the purpose for admitting any other country—to make the league complete and to avoid opposing leaguejs and alliances.

CURES SELF AND OTHERS.

Some T. M. C. A. workers in Paris a few months ago went to ft Red Cross hospital to get treatment for coughs. They were disappointed when the doctor in charge told them he wouldn't give them any cough medicine,- that all they needed was to go home and rest in bed a few days.

His theory was that fatigue had lowered the body's resistance to the bacterial infection which was at the bottom of the cough. The reraedy then, was to build up the body's resistance by 'rest in bed until the body itself should be strong enough to kill off the bacterial invaders.

The doctor happened to be Df. R. C. Cabot, of Boston, and he tells the incident in his latest book, a little volume on "Social Work which, like his preceding work,* "A Layman's Handbook of Medicine," is of very great interest to the general reader who is concerned with the problems of health auod disease.

What Doctor Cabot always emphasizes is that health is largely a matter of intelligent living that there are only six or eight out of the 150 diseases recognized by medical science that are benefited by drugs, and that in general the way back to health is by no short cut, but by painstakingly givin Nature a chance to do the work.

For instance, people often ask a doctor for a drug to cure insomnia. There is no such drug. Generally a bad night is the outcome of a bad day. A day of worry and strain, or an evening of excitement, will usually product & restless night.

A member of the staff of the Harvard Medical school investigated in the clinic at the Massachusetts General hospital the cases of one hundred young working gifls, factory employees, with tuberculosis. He could not be certain that one of the cases was produced by the Industry. Many of them were evidently the outcome of fatigue from lack of sleep. A large number of the girls in their natural •search for recreation were staying up late every night. Others had no habits of eating—not merely bad habits, but no habits. Still others had been pulled down by worry, sometimes over love affairs, sometimes over other matters.

HOROSCOPE.

"The Stars Incline, But be Not Compel.'* Copyright, 1J16, by the McClure

Newspaper Syndicate.

Sunday, June 15, 1919.

This Is not an auspicious day for most human activities. Uranus and Jupiter are both in malefic aspect.

The rule makes for severe criticism of persons in high place, whether in church or state.

During this configuration it is wlso to pursue the beaten paths, diverging little even in thought.

Ministers should be particularly careful during this sway lest, the spoken word be misunderstood.

The rule foreshadows many changes in churches and those who preside over them. Religious controversies will multiply and at least one sect will profit by the schisms in protestant denominations.

The rise to prosperity of a community church which ivill p^present the opinions of groups of citizens rather than the theories of theologians of the past is prophesied.

Uranus continues to exercise a sinister power that is believed td make hypocrisy and deception easy.

Under this sway of this planet, dangerous propaganda will be disseminated, the seers declare.

This is not a propitious day for lovers, since it marks probable disillusionment and disappointment.

There Is a sign read as presaging the organizing of new aspociations in which soldiers will wield great power.

When the ingress takes place, which marks the beginning of the summer season, June 21, the stars denote an access of popularity for the president of the United States.

Great reforms that will benefit workers are foreshadowed and there is a reassuring indication regarding wages which will not fall appreciably.

Warning is given that the- moral status of the people of the United States may be lowered and that crimes may greatly multiply.

Persons whose birthdate it is may have trouble in business affairs during the next year. They should guard against slander. Changes will not be lucky.

Children born on this day may be impulsive and erratic. These subjects of Gemini often have a tendency to exaggerate. They succeed best as employes.

Terre Haute Forty Years Ago Today

Ed Friend organized a military company of boys. Col. R. N. Hudson won in his suit against Evansville residents for canal property.

John T. Staff, Will Tuell and George F. Jenckes were winners in shooting matches at Strawberry Hill.

Mayor Havens, Eugene V. Debs and Captain V. G. Dickhout got busy on the Fourth of July arrangements.

Just as the eewer on East Main street from the old canal to Tenth street was nearing completion without accident, a cave-in resulted in the death of Walter Kendall and Horder Brown. Thomae Kinser was the contractor.

ARMY FLYER THANKS TERRE MUTE PEOPLE

Lieut. Delaplane, Here. Wednesday for Big Celebration, Well Pleased With Keception.

"Lieutenant DelapTane returned and reports a lot of royal treatment at the hands of yourself and other citizens of Terre Haute, for which I want to express my sincere thanks," is the expression of appreciation received from Major Patrick Frissell, commanding the aviation section at Indianapolis, Ind., pertaining to the welcome home day celebration at the fair grounds Wednesday, when Lieutenant Delaplane gave a splendid exhibition in an aeroplane.

Major Frissell is heading the work of the air service in the state in its recruiting campaign, following autnority from the general staff to recruit enlisted men up to 15,000. At present opportunities in the service are exceptional, for unlike.any other branch, the enlisted personnel is employed almost entirely upon mechanical work.

Each service squadron consists of 150 men, but 36 of whom are privates. Pay for non-commissioned officers runs from $36 to $121 monthly, with equipment and clothing furnished as in all branches of the service. An opportunity to obtain flying Instruction is but a matter of mechanical ability, education and physical condition. Men qualified to fly and after learning may obtain flying commissions.

Mechanic trade schools are being established and prove the means of learning a trade, *n addition to giving a finishing touch to numerous occupations. Terre Haute or Vigo county men interested in aviation may obtain information from the commanding officer, aviation repair depot department, Indianapolis, Ind. Men Enlisting are assigned for duty there.

In a short time a practical demonstration will be given in Terre Haute of the class of work done at the air service stations. This display will consist of several types of motors, plane instruments, planes and plane and motor parts, some assembled and some disassembled, and some in various stages of construction. A completed plane will accompany this display and give exhibition flights above the city.

Responsibility of Utility Managers 'h

Managers of public-utility prefperties, such as the Terre Haute Division of the H. I. & E. Traction Co., are responsible to several sources for their conduct of these properties and this responsibility is increased many fold by a corporation such as this which produces and sells not onlv4 street car service, but interurban, lighting and power service as well.

The manager must conserve the properties for which he is responsible V& their owners, the stockholders, and in doing this he must not fail to maintain the service which these properties render to the public, because maintenance and extension of service i.s both a duty to investors and to the public.

Naturally, when there is a conflict of views betweeft stockholders and the purchasers of the corporation's products, the manager is put in a position of seeking to sacrifice the interests of one or the other.

Fundamentally, however, the interests of "both sides are the same. That is to say, the public can not impose unjust regulations upon the corporation without sacrificing the service which it receives, and the corporation can. not curtail its service unreasonably without a loss of prestige and business.

The fact that there had been controversies, and bitter ones, too, between corporations and the public they serve, led to the establishment in many states, Indiana among them, of public service commissions with plenary power to fix rates after thorough investigation either on petition of the corporation, or of the public.

In the hands of these commissions then, rest unreservably the income of public service corporations, and it has unfortunately been the case in several instances that where commissions allowed corporations increased rates to offset, in a measure, increased costs, there has been a public outcry against those regulatory bodies.

Compensation Act for Workmen Ii Attacked By Suit In Federal Court.

Cpal mining companies of Indiana are opposing the efforts- of the state industrial board IB enforcing the workmen's compensation act as amended by the last legislature. Hearings were begun in the matter this week before Judge A. B. Anderson in the federal court at Indianapolis. The original complaint was filed by the Lower Vein Coal Company of Indiana, and later 77 other companies Joined in the suit.

As amended the compensation act provides that the act shall apply, with the exception of certain sections, to "the state, to all political divisions thereof, to all municipal corporations within the state, to persons, partnerships and corporations engaged in mining coal, and to employes thereof."

It is the contention of the mining companies that the amendment is unconstitutional because it compels all coal mining companies and municipal corporations to come under the provisions of the act while other lines of business have the right to choose. The mining companies will attempt to show

One very famous operator of public utilities, in a recent address on the perilous problems which are confronting public utilities, said in reference to public .service commissions:

"The right to regulate must carry with it the obligation to protect and this obligation to protect is not subject to reservation or evasion."

If the public will bear this in mind, a great step will have been taken to ward the establishment of proper relations between public utility corpora^ tions and the people they serve.
