BEN ED. DO A NE, Publisher. JASPER INDIANA Every year fashions get further ahead of the seasons. Don't expect sound arguments to come from a loud mouth. Every man pays for what he getselther in coin or self-respect. What has become of the old-fashioned Vornan who wore green hair? Yet one would hardly call the taking of Przetnysl a "pronounced" victory. A grievance will grow in any kind of weather, provided it is fed on imagination. Yat, if the Russians change the name of Przemysl, they cannot make it any worse. We are urged to keep our tempers. But that doesn't mean for us to keep tongue-tied. Nearly all the poets seem to have "been in a state of preparedness when the big war broke out. It is settled that the overthrow of rats means the elimination of bubonic plague. Then raus mit der rat. You save your money because you are economical; other people save theirs because they are stingy. Love of money is the root of all evil and every man has a fine specimen of the robt growing in his garden. "Old friends are best' said the office comedian as he sent the new boy out for a left-handed monkey wrench. One famous French barytone has been ' praised for his bravery. Now let the tenors show what they can do! The first schoolteacher in a certain state has just reached the age of one hundred and one years. The average schoolboy thinks they're all about that age. Did you ever see a poodle dog get the cut direct? Watch the owner of doggy when the stork presents her with a baby and see her send the pup to .the woodshed. Ten minutes after biting a young woman's cheek, a pet dog died. Pet poodle dogs have the least sense of the dog family. Such cheeks are not to bite. A true son of old Adam is that sixteen-year-old boy in knickerbockers, who eloped with a fifteen-year-old girl. "She suggested it and I was game," was the youngster's explanation. An inventive genius claims he has a device that will enable one to see 3,000 miles. If he perfects it soon enough the war correspondents may be able to get a look at the fighting. The old-fashioned boy who went out into the back yard to get a switch for his mother to wallop him with, has given place to the youth who reprimands his parents for staying out late. According; to Dr. JE. Gardner Smith, marriages are generally accidents. But you cannot get the accident insurance companies to take that view sufficiently to issue policies covering them. The tailors convention decides that the perfect man measures 34 inches around the waist. By this standard the size of the brain or the moral powers has nothing to do with 'perfection. The workman who takes a real interest in bis work doesn't have to spend much of his time looking for a job. A French writer compares the war to a poker game, probably thinking of the allies1 efforts to beat the Turkish "strait" Women now have a tuxedo suit, and most men would be glad to surrender to them the regulation evening suit as well. "Though I never drink," said the man on the car, "I take a lot of pleasure in signing the pledge every once in a while." If there should ever be a bean famine in Boston, the western papers would not be surprised if some Bostonian should say: "Nota bene! Not a oean!" Discovery by London critics that Shakespeare did not serve as a butcher's apprentice in his boyhood, as had been thought, has not lowered the price of beef. When a young man and a girl are in love she is all the world to him which may explain why all the world loves a lover.

WALL STREET AIDED

$100,000 GIVEN BY MORGAN AND HARRIMAN TO CAMPAIGN FUND, ASSERTS "T. R.' HE DIDN'T NEED THE MONEY Colonel Roosevelt Testifies That His Election Was Certainly Before Nomination Barnes Called Jekyll-Hyde by Former President .Syracuse, N. Y., April 24. Hundreds of thousands of dollars tossed into the Republican campaign fund of 1904 by J. P. Morgan, E. H. Harriman, H. C. Frick, Jacob Schiff and other Wall street leaders to elect Roosevelt to the presidency was admitted on the witness stand by Roosevelt. The former president gave no credit to this feature of the campaign, however, for he said: "My election was already assured. The money was for the New York state campaign." The colonel said that J. P. Morgan, E. H. Harriman and several others gave 10,000 each to the Republican fund. "But I made it plain that such contributions should be made with no obligation made or implied," declared Mr. Roosevelt. Alliances with Republican bosses to obtain the 1904 Republican nomination in 1904 at Chicago was emphatically denied by Roosevelt. "I neved moved a little finger to get that nomination, except by my public acts in office," Colonel Roosevelt testified. Nam:s Some Bosses. Ivins then asked Mr. Roosevelt about the various persons in the 1904 convention that he admitted were bosses. They included Boise Penrose of Pennsylvania, W. L. Ward of New York, Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, Cox of Ohio, Senator Foraker of Ohio and others. The inquiry then turned to the Clapp committee investigation of campaign contributions. "These men gave their contributions voluntarily and with no promise of reward," said the colonel. Recommended Taft. The colonel told of his first public statement in 1907 that he would not be a candidate for re-election. Also he said he recommended William H. Taft as his successor. "Did you not think you were trying to influence the convention?" asked Ivins. "No; it was only my preference," was the reply. He admitted, though, that the knowledge of a president's preference might have influence on delegates. Devoted to Barnes. The colonel also revealed to the jurors that Damon and Pythias and David and Jonathan were no more devoted to each other's interests than were Theodore Roosevelt and William Barnes before he discovered that Mr. Barnes was a political Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. When Mr. Hyde got the upper hand of the combination Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Barnes fell out, according to the colonel. Mr. Roosevelt was interested in Barnes because he was trying to reform him, the former president stated under cross-examination by William M-. Ivins, chief counsel for Mr. Barnes in his $50,000 libel uit. He believed Barnes above the average politician morally, he said, and he wanted to make Barnes a useful citizen. He wanted to preserve Dr. Jekyll, but Mr. Hyde absorbed him. Rips Lid Off G. O. P. Politics. Colonel Roosevelt was asked what William J. Loeb, his secretary when he was governor and president, told him about the Bain report on conditions in Albany. "He told me the investigation showed not only crooked business in printing, but other crooked business of the worst type," said Roosevelt. Colonel Roosevelt said that Franklin D. Roosevelt told him that William Sheehan was shelved and James A. O'Gorman elected United States senator by a combination of the Barnes Republican senators and the Murphy Tammany senators. Colonel Roosevelt ripped the lid off Republican affairs in New York. He told of conversations and produced letters to show that the late Senator Thomas C. Piatt and Mr. Barnes believed in party bosses. He also declared he considered Supreme Court Justice Charles E. Hughes a boss when he was governor of New York.

Will Not Put an Embargo on Arms. Washington, April 22. The United States will not apply an embargo on arms or change its neutrality laws during the progress of the war. This is the answer of President Wilson to the memorandum submitted by Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, impugning the good faith of the United States in the enforcement of its neutrality. The note, which was drafted by Counselor Lansing and amended by the president, is a calm and dignified repudiation of the charge made by the ambassador. It rejects the ambassador's propojals to establish an embargo on arms and to use this country's export trade as a means to compel England to permit foodstuffs to reach Germany. It proclaims the policy of the United States to be as it has been, the upholding of its rights, as against any and all belligerents and the enforcement of the laws of neutrality which were in force at the time the war began. Moreover, the president asserts that any change of the principle involved, such as the German ambassador suggested, would be a direct violation of American neutrality. The communication is courteous and polite. The president shows his view that it would have been more in keeping with the proprieties had the ambassador mentioned several matters connected with the general subject of American neutrality, which he failed to mention; and that the ambassador stepped beyond the bounds when he sought to take up with the United States questions this government is discussing with Great Britain.
