AN exchange says that a former president of a Central American republic has died a natural death. Who shot him? THE Job-hunters can tell without sampling it that there i3 too much shortening in the pastry on the Wash ington pie counter. CRAWL FOR HEALTH. bometning new has come out of Washington In the shape of "crawling teas' for health and beauty strictly for women, of course. They organize, meet at one an ether's houses, and after tea or tiffin or luncheon just crawl. The exercise has been pronounced by physicians one of the best aids to digestion and development or certain muscles. It will produce the perfect figure, say Its advocates; make the fat thin and the thin fat. It's something different from the male diversion known as the "Piccadilly crawl," but just what it is must be left to masculine imagination. Mere man can only picture a fat woman full of tea and ambition giving an Imitation of a turtle in a hurry on a polished hardwood floor, with spikes barred. Suggestion is made that In the mmmer the members don rompers and crawl on the greensward in the parks. It's only a step from that to chasing the squirrels through the groves and up the tree trunks. WITH the desks taken out of the House of Representatives, what will hot-headed lawmakers do for mlssllca when they want to throw books or Inkstands at one another, after the lively fasion of Vienna or Versailles?

Political Announcements

NOW comes an expert and declares that much riding in automobiles

causes flat feet. But, In the opinion of most automobllists, that isn't aa bad as flat tires. THE announcement is made that none of the Madero brothers -will live again in Mexico. Probably true, whether any of them returns there or not. THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK. A world perspective of the financial situation indicates a continued boom in the stel business, which is our local Interest. Heavy rains in the west presage good crops and the floods will also have their beneficial effects on the grain. Good crops are the basis of prosperity in the steel industry. It will mean that the railroads will need much rolling stock and equipment to move the produce of the fields. In Europe there are events occurring with a direct local bearing. The capture of Adrianople by the Bulgarians foreshadows the end of the Balkan war. Within the past few days the nightmare of a general war in Europe has disappeared and England's offer to build no naval armament for a year is having its effect. Consequently, with the end of the Balkan war and the prospects for no disturbance to the general peace of Europe, money hoarded in cellars, stockings, and vaults in fear of a war will be withdrawn from the hiding places and set in circulation to purchase the securities that will be offered. And there will not be such a drain upon our own gold to meet European demands. An optimistic spirit prevails lu financial circles because a conservative element is In control in congress and there will be no rough handling of the tariff question. All of these things have an Important relation to us. The general signs are favorable and a summing up of conditions indicates a steady continuance of the Calumet steel belt's boom. JULIAN Hawthorne, according to his attorneys, is penniless. It does seem impossible to make money in literature, even that of high finance. ADRIANOPLE and most of the baseball star3 having ceased to hold out, there may be a chance for Con gress to get some attention. SAVED BY SUDD! Among the problems facing - the world in the not remote future is a scarcity of white paper for printing newspapers on, the immense number of publications having depleted the visible supply of raw material. The possible commercial value of sudd, the inexhaustible jungle growth of the upper reaches of the White Nile, has been a topic frequently dis cussed In governmental and industrial circles. After being used aa briquets for fuel, its possibilities as pulp for paper were tested and found suitable except that it could not be bleached successfully. This difficulty is now said to have been overcome and the Nile region can furnish enough pulp to supply the world. It's a mercy the ancients didn't is sue great daily and Sunday papers or they probably would have used up all the sudd and left us still hunting a substitute. POSSIBLY there are members of the British cabinet who would not object to being kidnapped by suffragists if the perpetrators were young and pretty enough. TROUSERS will be worn tighter than ever, this summer. But it is to be hoped the same thing will not ap ply to those in them. THE MENACE OF A PERSONALITY. When the advantages of a republi can over a monarchial form of gov ernment were still a matter of doubt, in the early history of the United States, one of the strong arguments that was made by the advocates of a munarcny was, supposing some strong personality Is elected to the presidency, becomes a popular idol, benevolently dominates the country. later builds up an impregnable polltl cal organization and finally perpetu ates his rule of the land; how much better than a monarchy will that be?' This argument is answered in the fate of Theodore Roosevelt, now all but forgotten. He had the personality, his reforms won for him a tremendous following, be built up a political machine that was unparalleled in its strength and cohesiveness. Had Roosevelt continued in his self-imposed retirement he would have been considered the greatest man of his day. But his weakness was his lust for power. The importunities of seven governors, stimulated by an Injection of Roosevelt senti-

Which would you Rather do or Spade garden? OIR SPECIAL) CORRESPONDENT, Fort Wayne. Ind., April 3. My report of flood conditions here Is practically complete. While passing one of the big dry goods stores here yesterday afternoon I saw something new In shirtwaists. Very nifty, indeed. We went to the theatre together last night. HENNERY COLDBOTTLE.

Around here formal or business suits and veils or picture hats with the dress accompaniments, at least, are required. IN passing we may mention that Dr. Paul Hurt Is practicing surgery at Indianapolis.

IP THESE WASHINGTON SUFFRAGETTES KEEP RUNNING AROUND THE WAY THEY DO IT WILL BE NECESSARY FOR THEM TO WEAR THE OLD-FASH-IONEH WOOLEN ONES." HAZEL NUTT. JUST as likely as not some disap pointed democrat will insinuate that the editor of The World's Work has been appointed ambassador to the Court of St. James because he has been accepting Woodrow'a recent essays. IN order to put a bit of lively green in the life of the Hon. Tom O'Connell of Indiana Harbor we may say that Mister Flynn, Mister O'Connor, and Mister Connery were elected to the three biggest offices at Tuesday's election In Chicago. ANOTHER PROOFREADER WHO NEEDS THE KEELEY CURE. (From the Portland Oregonian.) Mr. Jones was last seen at breakfast in the Hofbrau, drinking a cup of his favorite broadcloth and black necktie. He also wore a coffee with cream. He was dressed as usual In a suit. ment, turned the head of the two times president. We View these incidents in re trospect, with no further fear of , a dominating personality. We are stripped of prejudice as we contemplate the ruins of personal ambition still smouldering. The progressive party today ranks with the prohibition party, the social ists party, the populist's party and other forlorn hopes. In Chicago the progressives elected three councilmen to the republicans eleven. And Chicago six months ago was the hot-bed of progressivism. Thus may we be assured that no man is greater than the party which' made him, no ambition may rise; higher than the limitations imposed by this republican form of government. There is no place in this country for a Porfirio Diaz. ONLY one situation would satisfy the solicitous seekers in Washington a place for everybody and every body in his place. OF course, Easter hats and the 48-cent-suffrage-parade hats are two entirely different and separate things. A WORTHY APPOINTMENT. President Wilson has done more to win the respect of the bulk and sinew of this nation by appointing a poor man as ambassador to Britain than anything else that he could have done. Suppose he cannot make a- "showing" on the salary he will get, what of it? Pie is not sent to Eugfand to make a "showing" at. the Court of St. James. He is sent to serve this country as its representative not to dazzle London by his social triumphs. One thing for which the last two republican administrations were criticized was because rich men regardless of qualification were sent to represent this country in foreign embassies and consulates. The poor man no matter how well qualified, how worthy or how great his mental and business attainment stood no show whatever in the race. If he wasn't loaded with money his name was Dennis. We cgngratulate the president. THE simplified spelling board Is going right on simplifying words that refuse to be simplified. WHAT has become of the old-fash ioned autograph album anyway Didn't you save yours?

THE TIMES.

o HOWEVER, as Col. Leslie, the czar of our composing room, would remark, the Oregonian may have a managing editor who now and then wildly grabs the type In the middle Instead of at tha ends. OIi; YOU MODEST VIOLET! YOU SWEET BLUSHING ROME! (From the Lafayette Courier.) The lack of pink Ink, or rose paper is all that prevents The Courier from blushing responsive to the many compliments received concerning its success In producing a paper yesterday. "THEY not only eloped but they proceeded to rear a family." Farm and Fireside. A singular happening, to be sure. Around here they elope and six months later they proceed to rear a divorce court racket. EVER HAVE THAT ISDECR1BABLB FEELING t (From the La port e Argus-Bulletin.) Then, In the firefly dance. It was evening with the dimness of twilight, through which glimmered again the sparkling of what appeared to be of fireflys and the orchestra shading the tones of the music to suit the occasion produced an effect that words cannot describe; one that must be felt to be fully appreciated. "LEARN to laugh," says the Indianapolis Mews. We are, and at your long-winded accounts of the little flood in your city. Genesis, chapter VIII, In 300 words tells the story of the flood of creation and with a good description of Noah's ark thrown In to boot. "WHEN A CITY MAN IS ABOUT TO RETIRE HE LOOKS AROUND FOR A FARM AND WHEN THE FARMER IS READY TO QUIT HE STRIKES OUT FOR THE CITY. A LOT OF GOOD DEMOCRATIC OFFICESEEKERS WHO SLIGHTED LATIN ' IN SCHOOL NOW WISH THEY HADN'T." HENNERY COLD. BOTTLE. "ILL WIND BENEFITS GARY NOW." Times' headline. So? Then let the Gary Commercial club induce the Globe glue works and that sweet-smelling Roby actory to come over to the steel city. MR. M'ADOO, the new secretary of the treasury, won his spurs by building the udson tunnel. Lot of bankers hope that he won't undermine the currency question. "ELKHART goes wet," says an election dispatch. But In a more happier way than Peru. Logansport. or Plymouth. DRINKING another man's health won't improve yours. Cincinnati Enquirer.; JFellowhsrho wrote that evidently had: lingered too long in one of these April bock beer parlors. HYSTERICAL MEN. Strange as it may seem the panic on the south side yesterday morning was led by a lot of men, who, when the news first came that the St. Mary's reservoir, had broken, fled white-lipped, rolling eyed, and trembling to their homes far above any possible point of danger, and, as they hurried, scattered the absurd information that the river reinforced by the waters of St. Mary's reservoir would cut a great gash in the south side and inundate that section In a mad chase to get to Toledo by a short cut. Alarmed by the foolish vaporings of these men, women became hysterical, children wept, and there was hob to play generally, until the failure of the expected doom to arrive on scheduled time tended to reassure the quaking victims of their own too lively imaginations. Had these men stopped to consider that the south side beyond Creighton ave nue is about on a level with the top of the court house and that the busi ness section and many miles of surrounding country would have to be twenty feet under water before the south side outside the strip along Broadway south of Creighton avenue, could possibly be touched, it is possi ble that they might have spared the women of their respective neighborhoods the scare of their lives. But possibly it is too much to expect of some - men the exercise of Judgment In times of stress. For we know by the sad experience of the years that any fool on any night at any theater by crying "fire" can start a lot of long-limbed men loping for the exits to the sad discomforture of the worn en and children under font Vnrt Wayne News. THE new president and the new congress are slow In getting down to business. They have not sent a com mission to Inspect the Panama Canaz zone yet. THE Wellesley College girls have decided not to marry uneil three years after graduation. Very sensible of them. It will take that long for them to be able to support husbands. - v WITH true oriental politeness China thanks the administration for refusing to support the proposed loan.

DAYTON NEEDS CASH, THERE, BUT MONEY

Guarding Provisions st Dayton. Ohi. Since last week's flood provisions have poored into Dayton, Ohio, by the carload. The rfty is no longer in need of food. Wrist it needs now is cash money with which to rebuild ruined homes. While much of the loss fell upon railroads and wealthy individuals and corporations who will not feel it, hundreds of families in only mod era ta e iieumstances lost everything.

Based, possibly, on the reflection that if it doesn't get the loan it won't have to repay it. A FEW cubist pictuers of the po litical situation as it now exists in Gary might help while away the time the candidates get set. THE twenty odd candidates for the commissionershlp have only a few days more to wait and then the last keen agony will be over. WARNING TO GIRLS. The Young Women's Christian as sociation has prepared a set of rules that will be well for every girl to follow. Putting their trust in wellspoken strangers often causes girls to meet misfortune. It is the aim of the Y. W. C. A. officials to warn girls in advance of the dangers that often beset them, especially in the big cities. Here are a few of the warnings: oiris should never speak to strangers, either men or women, in the street, in shops, in stations. In trains, in lonely country roads or in places of amusement. "Girls 6hould never ask the way of any but officials on duty, such as policemen, railway officials or post men. "Girls should never go to an ad dress given them by a stranger. tiris snouia never go with a stranger, even if the stranger is dress ed as a hospital nurse, or believe stories of their relatives having suf fered accident or being taken ill sud denly, as this is a common device to kidnap girls. "Girls should never accept candv. food, a glass of water, or smell flowers offered to them by strangers. Neither should they buy scents or food or candy at their doors. Any of those things may contain drugs. "Girls should never take situations without first making inquiries through a society active or affliated In travelers' aid work. "Girls should never go to any large town even for one night without knowing of a safe lodging." This is sensible advice, and it ap plies to girls of any age. A LAWYER in New York has been awarded six cents in a slander suit. Somebody must have accused him of offering his services gratis. WHERE BULLETS FLY. A 13-year-old Detroit girl playing In the yard of her home was hit in the leg by a stray bullet a day or two ago, and the best explanation the police can give is that some small boys of the neighborhood were playing with a gun. It is probably the true explanation. A few American soldiers were wounded along the Texan border by stray bullets from the Mexican side where numerous federals and constitutionalists were playing at war, and a great hullaballoo was raised about it. A little Detroit girl is shot at her very doorstep where she has every right to suppose herself safe, and the incident arouses only passing interest. Why this indifference? It Is an unusual happening for an American soldier to be injured by a Mexican bullet. It is a common thing for a eDtroit child to be wounded or killed by bullets from weapons in the hands of other children. Again we ask, why the deadly weapon in a quiet and civilized community?

Heart to Heart Talk By JAMES A. EDGERTOM UFE IS OPPORTUNITY. It Is finally dawning on most of ns that we have come into a new age, that the world has changed its viewpoint both Industrially and psychologically. Invention accounts for much of the Industrial transformation. As that concerns us, In a social and political way more than it does as individuals It can be passed by In this discussion. The psychological change is the one that personally affects each one of os. In a word, this change has brought the realization In a practical, actual way that we make our own world. Our whole literature has long been full of adages stating this truth, but we have accepted them without recognizing their tremendous import. For example: "We can make of ourselves what we will." "As a man thlnketh in his heart so lahe." "We are the arbiters of or own destiny." Or, as Henley so finely puts it: "I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul. The new realization Is that these things are literally true. The whole of life from the cradle to the grave is opportunity. Let os take specific Instances: Suppose yon are a student. It Is your opportunity so to Inform and train your mind in any desired direction that yon can make fame and fortune, likewise and this means the same thing that you can bo of service. Suppose yon are a farmer. It is your opportunity by the study of scientific methods so to Id crease the yield of your acres that they will make you a shining success. Suppose you are a merchant. It is your opportunity by closely studying your trade, by buying the best goods at the lowest possible figure, by representing these goods honestly, by proper advertising and display of your wares, by right treatment of your customers, to build up a splendid business and be honored in your world. Suppose you are a professional man. It is your opportunity by learning more about your profession or some special branch of it than any one else in your community to become a recognized authority. So Is it In all callings. Life is one continuous opportunity. We must know and we must do. Work is the key that unlocks the golden storehouse. For by work we gain knowledge, and by work we apply the knowledge we have gained. Work that is tho secret! UP AND DOWN IN I-N-D-I-A-N-A FIRE DKSTROYS TWO HOMES.. Whei the home ofJJohn F.

mm. HAiniONDJTHEATRE. The "Balkan Princess," she of the lilting, song and tho graceful dance, is coming to the Hammond Theatre on Sunday evening to tell in a burst of song, the tale of her trials and triumphs, her piques and relentlngs.

The body was brought to Carmel and the coroner summoned, who after Investigation gave a verdict of suicide. Identification was made by means of railway pases found In the man's pocket. No reason is known for the man's act. STABBED TO DEATH BY WOMAN. Ralph Tutell was stabbed to death about midnight by Mrs. Mary Dominlck In the saloon of John Verilla at South Bend. The woman had refused to allow her daughter to marry Tutell who, the police say, belonged to an organization of the Black Hand order. She entered the place, walked to where her victim was sitting and stabbed him. wtihout saying a word. He died In tha ambulance en route to the hospital. The slayer is under arrest. PLAN HARTSVILLE REUNION. A movement on foot among old students of Hartsvllle College is expected to result In a reunion of alumni of the school In August. Tha the last reunion was held In 1905. About 5,000 attended the college during its existence. B. A. Clause is seeking indorsements of the plan from a sufficient number of alumni to warrant continuing plans for the reunion. TRADING STAMP MAN HELD. While Frank Hunter was being tried in the City Court at Michigan City yesterday for violating a city ordinance by engaging in the trading stamp business without paying a city license fee of $25 a month, a writ of habeas corpus was Issued by Judge H. B. Tuthill of the Superior Court, and Hunter was released under bond to await a hearing Monday. Hunter's petition for a writ represented that -the ordinance was unconstitutional. The ordinance was attacked on the ground that it discriminated between merchants and restrained trade and freedom of contract. FOR YOU. UNION SCOUT SCRAP.
