ESPIONAGE AND UNNEUTRALITY

—e United States government has -•j fully outlined its position with : regard to belligerent nations that’ eych citizen should hav.e nd diffic dty in conducting himself properly. ] The numerous mysterious uires; tlie 1 faring of.bombs on board ships,! dbor agitations and certain politi al developments which iron, rime to; ■/ ■ . I Un - appear m various gthi.cs, sag-g‘--t. at least, that the spirit oe neutrality may not amue all those who are at present in this count ry . I The mos: recent allegations are of; espionage and other acts absolutely* subversive o: impartial law. As in 1 The case of Dr. Dutnba. these concern the Austrian embassy, ana there! is declared to be even a closer eon- ; nee-yin with the diploma, ic rep re-j sentatives of the German empire . { i se assertions, however, are denied i-.y both Austrian and German embassies, and statements have been; prepared explaining the position of the Austrian government in the as? of Dr. Joseph Goricar, former Austrian consul, whose name now -figures, so prbmtnently in the reports. i r-ere is no need at this time to itemize the various peculiar hap- 1 penings. Not a few arrests have' been made by agents 01 the Ameri-' can government. In at least one instance——the Dumba case—charges were so far substantiated as to bring about the change in the Austrian eutbassy staff. • Whether the present accusations are as trustworthy is a matter which rests with the American government to determine. The 1 country is assured that the Washington authorities are looking into the matter thoroughly. Certainly there is grave need for such examination. The repeated assertions concerning AustrovGerman activity serve to remind the American public that this country can permit no propaganda on behalf of any belligerent as long as the neutral status is to be maintained. Thus it should not be forgotten that our neutrality pledges embrace pro-British and pro-French activities as well Vs Austro-Hungar-ian or Bulgarian. \ Within the last Jew days evidence i-utiiplied to indicate that sym

pathizers with certain European governments are at work. Whether this activity has found expression in outlawed recruiting, as appears to have been the case in San Francisco; incendiarism, or espionage, it is the duty of the government to insist on strict neutrality. This is necessary, not only as a form of policy, but as a means for national protection. Espionage and chicanery have long been practiced among European stares. In so far as initiative in such matters is concerned, we are distinct from Europe. But the present condition offers great temptations to the European powers to pursue their accustomed habits in this country. Vigorous suppression of unneutral or menacing acts or schemes is, therefore, a national duty, it is, in a way, the first immediate form of preparedness.—lndianapolis News.

WHY THE OPPOSITION TO PRIM

ARY 'LAW? The Republicans have made anol, er attack in the courts on the i'. imary law passed by the last legislature, and if the voters of the state are wise they will probe until they discover the reason lor the continued opposition of the Republican leaders to a law which aims to place the selection of candidates in the hands of the people.' s' It was the arbitrary policy of the Republican machine in forcing on to ii e party hand-picked candidates that caused the. progressive element in. the party to bolt in 1912. The primary law would give the voter an opportunity to express his preference in making up the ticket, and it would prove an instrument of effective action in the hands of the progressive element in the Republican party—it that progressive element returned to the fold with the to attempt a renovation and rejuvenation of the party. It is not the intention of the Republican bosses in Indiana to make concessions to the progressive element.. The bosses do not. intend to iermit the progressive element to onie into possession of a means of driving the bosses from their ancient control—hence this continued and vigorous opposition to the primary law. The renewed activity of the Republican organization indicates very clearly that there is little difference of attitude between a Republican and Democratic machine. The latter had to be crowded into the ditch before it was possible to get the law from the I legislature, and now the Republican machine will not be content until it has placed every possible obstacle in the law’s way. One test case is already on its way tb the higher courts, but this is not enough. The Republican state committee .must start another one attacking from a new angle. What is the purpose of all this litigation? Can it be that our party leaders, these great statesmen w r ho have such a concern for the “deer peepul, hope to keep the law in the courts and its status so uncertain that it will be inoperative when it comes time to select the candidates? No one wants a primary law except the rank and Ck, ~..j

among pur oldest inhabitants, can recall the day . when machine politicians gave the rank and file what it wanted without fighting to the last ditch?—lndiana Forum.

INDIANAPOLIS NEWS LETTER.

[By Willis S. Thompsm.] Indianapolis, Nov. 16. —Governor Ralston could hardly have made a more generally popular selection than that of Evan B. Stotsenburg, to succeed th'e late Richard M. Milburn as State Attorney Mr. Stotsenburg is recognized as one of the ablest lawyers in the state and as a member of the state general assem bly in sessions as early as 1895 he was always elevated to leadership. His appointment at once places him in conspicuous leadership for nomination as the Democratic candidate next year. It is conceded that he will not only be a , string primary candidate but that he will be especially strong in the general election. For the unexpired term to which Mr. Milburn had been elected, Mr. Stotsenburg will turn over $2,500 to Mrs. Milburn. It is also understood that for the present at least the office force will not be changed. The Republican state organization is making a terrific effort to advertise that Progressives are lying awake nights trying to find some way of getting back into the Repub lican party. The only persona who are really kept awake are the standpatters who are chasing the offices and who are disturbed because the Progressives can not be interested. Toner was called upon first to make a speech in which he told how all the Progressives were coming back, and the rress gave him much space. Then came the suit by the Republican state committee to set aside section ten of the primary law “so the Progressives can come back.’’ Meantime the question of the validity of section ten is already pending in the state supreme court, that being a part of the case 1 decided by Judge Paris at New Al-' bany. • Whatever the Marion county i court might say could have no effect i one way or another. While all the Progressives in Mas sachusetts were originally from the Republican party, when there were signs of the Progressive party dis- j organizing in that state at least five out of every thirteen Progressives j who had formerly been Repnbli- i cans, went to the Democrats. And ' at the same time the Republicans of Massachusetts were making a special effort to please the Progres-! sives in both platform and candidates. In Indiana where the Republicans are doing all they can in every way to antagonize Progres-1 sives, the new party members will . either stand by their own organization or vote the- Democratic ticket. Xo part of them will return to affili-; ate with the standpat managers of ‘ the Republican state organization. The Republican state press is still greatly worried because they can not find some answer to the Demo-; cratic showing in stijte finances. So ■ they simply declare 'taint so." When the Democratic state press announces that Democratic state i officials have paid more than a million dollars of debts left by the Republicans five years ago; that the state today has not a penny of debt! due and unpaid; that there is no' unpaid bill of any sort on the desk ' of the state auditor or treasurer; I that the only bonds outstanding are ! the Vincennes University bonds' amounting to $1 20,548, which are not due and can not be paid until 1917; that there is now in the hands of the Democratic state treasurer $1 54,357.08 with; which to retire these bonds the moment the money will be accepted; that the books are open and anybody challenged to prove the statements hot true, that portion of the state press that wishes the state was hopelessly in debt simply cries out “’taint so.” Safety first——Wilson, democracy, peace and prosperity" was the label attached to the prosperity dinner and Democratic rally at Connersville. The same thought will be the central idea bound, to predominate among all the people in the celebration of prosperity week throughout the country, starting on the 29th of November. In Indiana the people will have double cause for thanksgiving, having not only W oodrow \\ ilson at Washington but having at Indianapolis the best state administration the state has ever had, having some of the best laws that have ever been" placed on the books and for the first tlrne in nearly one hundred years having not one penny of debt due and unpaid. To the prosperity of the individual citizen, the home and the community, Hoosiers can celebrate the national prosperity week with thoughts also of the state prosperity. The Republican state committee has scheduled no meetings for that '.'cok. n ..

REASONS FOR THANKFULNESS.

For the manifold blessings that Almighty God has showered upon us during the past year; for prosperous industries and fertile fields; for contented homes and peaceful marts; for the growing recognition that whatever is of solid benefit to a single division of our people must in time be of benefit to the people as a whole; for the extension of education and the fostering of the arts and sciences; for our preservation from flood and famine, plague and drought—for these tokens of the benignant and beneficent care of a watchful Providence it is becoming that the people should gather to offer thanks to Almighty God. While in sorrow and compassion we view the misery and devastation wh’ich a world war has brought to our fellow beings across the ocean, while we look aghast at fields dyed with the blood of brave men and wet with the tears of women and little children, at homes destroyed, at commerce palsied, at proud cities leveled to the dust and progress giving way to desolation, our minds must turn in gratitude to him who has kept our nation whole and unharmed.

Bobby Burns’ Thanksgiving Grace Some hae meat and canna eat, And some would eat that want it, But we hae meat, and we can eat, Sae let the Lord be thankit.

We have especial cause of congratulation in the advancement of science and virtue in our midst. It is fitting that we should, as a people, acknowledge our obligations and render our thanks to the gracious Au--thor of all our mercies.

What Bessie Is Thankful For

I’s dot a pretty dolly, An’ I’s dot a nice new hat; I’s dot a picture book an’ ring An’ much more tings ’an dat. I’s dot a playhouse by the creek, Where my papa loves to fish, An’ it’s dot a little bwoken chair An’ a pretty bwoken dish. An’ we’s dot a turkey dinner, An’ peach an’ pum’kin pie, An’ pudding, too, wit chocolate, An’ heaps of sings, oh, my! I’s dot so much I’s fankful for, Lots more’n I can tell, But mos’ of all I’s thankful for Is 'at all of us are well. —Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

HE OUGHT TO BE GRATEFUL.

What Better Fate For the Turkey Than Making a Whole Nation Glad? What finish more honorable and impressive for a bird than,to be fated to die to make happy an entire nation? For this brief golden period the eagle is only a remote symbol. The Thanksgiving bird is magically transformed into a tempting thing of appetizing odors, an eye entrancing vision of glistening brown and bronze and bringing in its train attendants of the Held that crisply show ivory white and pale emerald and translucent, liquid ruby. In the turkey at this season there are the pride of country, the religious sense of a nation and its sustaining hopefulness, the racial family spjrit that “makes the whole world akin” and provides the very essence of pleasing plenty.

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie.

In the Woman’s Home Companion Fannie Merritt Farmer, cookery editor of that publication, presented a number of November recipes, among which is the following for pumpkin pie: - “Mix tWQ-thirds cupful of brown sugar, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, onehalf teaspoonful ginger and one-half teaspoonful of salt, and add one and one-half cupfuls of steamed and strained pumpkin, two eggs, slightly beaten, one and one-half cupfuls of milk aud one-half cupful of cream. Bake in one crust.”

Indians Like Turkey Feathers.

Turkey feathers rank next in importance to those of the eagle with all Indian tribes, while the Apaches, the Pamunkeys and Cheyennes chose the turkey’s feathers for all ceremonial headdresses and ornaments. The Pamunkey tribe also used turkey feathers for ornamental purposes on their clothing, as well as for their headgear. To this day when they don their native costumes the turkey feather is preferred as ornament by many of the Indians of America.

Be thankful for plenty of work, a heart to work, strength for work and fellowship in work. Those who will find it most difficult to be thankful are tnose who do not know the luxury of work.
