THE PRESIDENT FOR PEACE

In an address to a delegation of Scandinavians yesterday President Wilson said; I can assure you that nothing is nearer to my heart than keeping this country out of war and doing anything that t lie United States can do to show its preference for peace and for justice and for the things that make it impossible that nations should fight one Another—real understandings and friendships and fair dealings. When the American government ceases to stand for these things it will be false to its ideals, and recreant to What \vf> have always liked to think of as the nation’s mission. The American people do not desire war if it can be honorably avoided. Nor do they believe that the administration has, in its successful efforts to keep the country out of war, sacrificed the national honor. The great need of the world at the present time is, not more war, but peace, and peace based on “real understandings and friendships and fair dealings.” No man, surely, can quarrel with that program. The only question is a* to whether it can ffe carried out. Our people are, we believe, prepared to go far in the effort to realize it.

It was just exactly a ccn ttry ago 1 hat Indiana was admitted :* state you know. And if you will listen I'll relate A few oi the things to be found iir our state. 1 here art forests, plains, and beautiful hills, Large rivers, lakes and little rills. - The swamps have been dra ned and now are dry In their places we have large fields of rye And wheat and oats, alfal'a, maize; Almost every kind of gra n \ve rai~e. We have mines of coal and wells of oil, All sorts of fruits grow on our soil Qf factories too .we have our share,, I lie buzz of machinery is everywhere— Indianapolis, Evansville, F rt W ayne, Peru, Jeffersonville, South Bend ami Terre Haute too, Are a few of the beautiful cities we claim, I he countless others 1 will hot name. Moores Hill, Wabash. Earlham, I. I ’., Hanover, Fratikjin, De Pauyv and Purdue. We are proud of our sc ho: Is and colleges too; Public libraries and churches not a few. We've men and women whose prose and rhyme Have niade their names famous in every clime. You all know the story ab nit ‘‘Lizabeth Ann,” ‘‘Little Orphan Annie” and “The Raggedy Man.” T won’t tell you who wrote them, because vou know It was the Iloosier Poet whom we all love so. And there’s Eggleston. Pirimmer and Wallace Lew, We- claim Joaquin Miller and Nicholson too. And you know George Ade and Hazelden. You’ve read the wit and hum >r from his pen. Gene Stratton Porter of l.imberlosT fanie We are proud that also we may claim Miss Mary Washburn of Rensselaer. We must not forget to mention here Her General Milroy is keeping guard, Like a silent sentinel, over the park. We must mention our ?• Triers and sailor? Tory And the famous “Rattle' L Tippecanoe:’’ Now the Red Men’s tent i- seen no more, They’ve gone to dwell on the western shore. I he buffalo’s gone and the bear and deer. Wild beasts and savages we need not tear. The old back-log and the fireplace We’ve discarded for the comforts of modern davs. We have electric lights an ; steam heat too. There are countless liixuriA Ft me and you The steam and the trolley car tnav be seen, The jitney bliss and the limousine. The buck board wagon is set a-ide For we now have Fords in which to ride Not over the corduroy roads of the past. Rut solid stone mads that are built to last. 5 Winona Lake, park and chautauqua ground. And there are many other- to be found: I lie Shades of Death is another one. “Wyandotte Cave” and “Turkey Run." All over this wonderful state of ours Arc parks and garden? of beautiful flowers. We have Camp Fire Girls and Roy Scout- true. Anti-Saloon League and W, C. T. L. The 1 loosier booth at the T'ri-o • Fair Rrought joy and wonder to the vi-iior- there. Then to good old Hoosier let us sing From north, south, east, west let our vices ring. ’Tis- tjie state of our home, ’tis the state of our birth. And indeed do we know there's no fairer on earth. ANN A BELLE RATER.

We have our hot heads, it is true-, but they do not reflect public opinion.

That opinion is reflected in the words spoken by the President yesterday, There is nothing in them to 1 indicate any willingness on his part t<> surrender American rights.. Nor is there any ignoring of the dangers that still threaten. It is much that we have for a year and a half been free from the scourge of war—as we might not have been had other counsels prevailed. That is so much to the good. Under other leadership we might easily have been by this time up to our necks in slaughter and bloodshed. But we do know that the President will do everything in his power to keep war far from its, everything, that in, short o! compromising American rights of honor. He is for peace, and permanent peace —if it can lie had. We may not be able to command it. but we can fjtrive for it, can try to think in terms of peace, and refuse any countenance to those ivlrb are trying to make trouble o f w horn , t ol” u nately. there are not many,—lndianapolis News.

SETTLING IP. By Walt Mason. If every man would pay his hills, just when those bills are due, we’d sidestep many grievous ills which now make people blue. The merchant carries on liis hooks about a million debts, and some who figure there are crooks, and some misfortune’s pets. Some hope to play the honest game when they have got the tin, and it may be they’ll do that same, soon as their ships come in. But some ships travel mighty slow, of winds and waves the sport; some hit the reef of Norman’s Woe, and never come to port. The merchants have to charge us more for everything they sell, to cover the defaulter’s score, and hence H. C. of L. When e’er you buy a pound of pills, or quart of pumpkin rind, you’re paying something on the bills of those who are behind. If you, who read these simple runes, would pay your bills on time, you’d help to cut the price of prunes, and make your life sublime.
