TAKE IT EASY, GENTLEMEN.

The Star is in lull accord with! the state organization of the Pro-1 gressive party m its decision to! maintain itself, pending ‘develop-! meats, hut is not at all in accord' with' the somewhat irascible spirit] shown by Chairman Boyd, toward 1 those members of the party who re-' cently “went back” ,to the Repnbli-' can party. Why not let the erring brothers depart in peace? it requires too violent a strain upon the imagination to follow Mr. Jackson in his apparent conviction that these late Progressives were patriots up to a few minutes ago, but have been transformed in the twinkling of an eye to villains of the deeiiest dye: We should say at a venture that 75 per cent of the Progressives still standing at Armageddon , and 75 per cent of those recently renegade will be fotfnd voting- ihe same ticket in November, lift 6; though neither the Star nor anybody else knows whether that will be for Woodrow Wilson, for the Republican nominee or for a nominee of the Progressive party. The difference between these gentlemen comes perilously near being a mere difference in their prophetic view of the future. One side says that the battle for progressive principles in 1916 will be in the Republican party; the other side insists that it will be in the still active and militant Progressive party. With all due respeht and affection for each of these able and important schools of political philosophy, the Star is Compelled to inform all of them that they don’t know a d—- thing about it. All that we know, now is that the Republican party today is as standpat in politics and in personnel as ever. Thus far, Mr. Boyd is correct. But the patriotic duty of 1916 will not .appear till 1916 comes. Meantime, it will not get anybody anything to gamble in recriminative terms on political futures.—lndianapolis Star.

CAN T AFFORD NOT TO ADVERTISE. There are few merchants in the county who fully realize the importance of keeping the names of their j firms before the public by regular, advertising. Some who do not, have j inade the statement that they could hot afford to pay for publicity each j week; It is not a question, however, j whether a man can afford to advertise, but whether he can afford not 'Y: ... . l Dealer- in rural communities look with enviable eye upon the large sums of money being drawn, from prospective and: former patrons by the large mail Order concerns. The mail order houses use almost every available publication for advertising. They never allow their name to drop front the public mind. One. of them divided twenty million dollars hist year among its common stock holders, most of which should have been divided among the rural merchants had they adopted more progressive methods tp reach the buyers. A farmer looks through his farm., journal and sees-something offered by a Chifeag® concern for which be has use. The prices and description please him and his order Is sent; His home merchant might have had the same article at a price just as l;ut used no method to -’ei the information to the farmer Still, he sometimes thinks the agriculturist should not have sent the money out of the community, but should have traded at home, when, in fact the home dealer himself was largely responsible for the farmer's actions. Large attractive catalogues are prepared by the concerns. This forms an uninterrupted advertisement in the home. The expense is i generally too great for a home merchant to get out catalogues of the goods on his shelves, but to compete with the mail order houses he must adopt some method just as effective. He must keep his name in the minds of prospective customers. If he is a dardware dealer, he should

attempt to make the people think of him first when they are in need of hardware. The same applies to dealers in shoes, furniture, dry goods Or any other line. This .can be accomplished through constant advertising in a publication which gets inside the homes and joins the family circle for the Aveek. As one writer has said, “Business moves so rapidly nowadays that the mail who drops out of the public mind for a week or two has a hard time getting back to his old place.’’ Much of the effectiveness of advertising is lost through its irregular use. There is not a merchant in Newton county but that would find it profitable to set aside a certain amount of money each month to be used in regular advertising. The size of the sum would be dependent upon the size of the business, A hal f page ad once a month is not half as good as a space one-fourth as large .four times a month. Successful advertisers drive home their massage regularly. Newton county merchants should profit from the expert cm those who have learned the best methods.—Kentland- Enterprise.

Urges Distribution of Wealth In Wages Rather Than Charities Bu Rev. Dr. WILLIAM T. MANNING. Rector of Trinity Church, Neiv York

TIIE church calls upon her laymen to work for,a true spirit of justice and right dealing in our industrial and commercial life. When we have made every right allowance for difference of reward accord* Ing to difference and quality of service WE ALL IvXOW THAT THE PRESENT DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH IS A DISPROPORTIONATE AND UNREASONABLE ONE. We know that the excessive riches of the man who has too much are as bad and that they are often morally worse for him than poverty is for the man who has too little. « X X WAGES ARE FAR BETTER THAN CHARITIES. IT IS FAR BETTER FOR ALL THAT SURPLUS WEALTH SHOULD BE PAID OUT IN HONEST PAY FOR HONEST SERVICE THAN THAT ENORMOUS FORTUNES SHOULD Bti PILED UP IN THE OF PARTICULAR INDIVIDUALS, EVEN THOUGH THESE FORTUNES SI-fOULD BE LATER DISPENSED IN GIFTS AND PHILANTHROPIES. X X X This is not saying that wealth should be equally divided. I neither say this nor believe this. Bus l do say that wealth should be more equitably distributed than it is at present. It is now the splendid opportunity of our Christian financial and commercial leaders to lead the way in making the distribution of wealth among us a more sane and equitable one, SO AS TO SECURE FOR EACH WORKER A DUE REWARD FOR HIS SERVICE AND TO GIVE LABOR IN EVERY DEPARTMENT ITS FULL AND RIGHTFUL SHARE. United States Should Guard Against Invasion by Foreign Powers i ■ ■ ■■ - ■ -- Bu Colonel THEODORE ROOSEVELT, Former President of the United States IT is the duty of this country to put itself in shape to defend its rights should they be invaded. I MYSELF HAVE SEEN THE PLANS OF TWO OF THE COUNTRIES NOW ENGAGED IN THE EUROPEAN WAR TO INVADE THE UNITED STATES, CAPTURE OUR GREAT CITIES AND HOLD THEM FOR RANSOM, CONSIDERING THAT OUR STANDING ARMY WAS TOO SMALL TO BE DANGEROUS. THIS WOULD CRIPPLE OUR COUNTRY AND GIVE THE ENEMY THE MEANS TO PURSUE THE WAR. I WOULD RATHER SEE THE CITIES DESTROYED THAN TO HAVE ONE CENT PAID IN RANSOM. I HAVE SEEN THE DEFINITE PLANS FOR THE CAPTURE AND RANSOMING OF NEW YORK AND SAN FRANCISCO. I hope to see the time when our nation shall come to a status in which every young American man shall have the training in marksmanship and military customs .which will enable him to take an effective part in the defense of his nation should her rights be invaded. A fight never was won by parleying. You’ve got to hit and not hit soft. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OWE IT TO THEMSELVES TO MAKE THEIR HAND SAFEGUARD THEIR HEAD.

Women Will Vote Right When Given the Opportunity Bu JANE ADDAMS, Social Reformer THE strongest and most logical reason for equal suffrage is that women should have equal justice. We are in the midst of a great movement in this country—one which has as its aim not so much the elevation of women to their rightful place in society, BUT WHICH IS PRIMARILY A MOVEMENT WHICH HAS TO DO DIRECTLY WITH SOCIAL REFORMS. It has been said that there never was a political or a moral revolution in which women did not have a hand. They have always joined in any movement which means an uplift to society. And rightly so, for they are nearest the home and feel more keenly than men perhaps the necessity for social reforms. ' / ; . FOR IT IS THE MOTHER IN THE HOME WHO FEELS FIRST, PERHAPS, THE SOCIAL ABUSES WHICH GROW OUT OF UNCLEAN GOVERNMENT AND THE MALADMINISTRATION OF LAWS. The things women feel the need of can only be obtained by means of the ballot. \\ omen represent the side of life—the home-—in which men have never been so vitally interested.

America’s Passion For the Beautiful Greater Than That of Eujope Bu HAROLD BEGBIE, English Author and Sociologist MATERIAL tilings are always the expression of the mind. The passion of American people for beauty is far greater than Europe’s. It is so thorough and so deep that they must have railway stations like cathedrals and shops like temples of art. They read more than English people read. They are more intelligent. They are more original. THEY ARE INFINITELY MORE IN EARNEST. IT IS AMUSING TO THINK THAT EUROPE, LIVING ON THE ARCHITECTURE AND BEAUTY OF ITS PAST, SHOULD PRESUME TO BRING 1 A CHARGE OF MATERIALISM AGAINST THE TREMENDOUS NATION which is visibly building up a new and splendid world and which sends to the old world nearly all the inventions which prevent that old world from falling into dotage. AMERICA IS THE MOST VIGOROUS AND LIVING EXPRESSION OF THE HUMAN MIND, AND, WHILE AMERICA IS CONSCIOUS THAT IT HAS SOMETHING TO FROM EUROPE, EUROPE HAS HARDLY BEGUN TO BE CURIOUS ABOI/T THE REAL EXISTENCE OF AMERICA.
