It Is a strange thing President Wilson has done in sending the Secretary of State from the seat of government to one of the States to confer with the Governor thereof and the Legislature. . -, But President Wilson is given to doing strange things and will prob ably do many more before. his term expires. .It is not known that the dignity of the office loses anything by Mr Bryan's trip. It was not held that any dignity was lost when Secretary of State Knox went on various jaunts at the country's expense, ostensibly on official business, even taking a public servant along to shave him. If Mr. Bryan's trip to California Is fruitful in restoring calm and per haps showing up the "nigger in the wood pile" of the whole agitation, which it is hoped will be done, the end will have justified Mr. Wilson's unusual proceeding. MR. Bryan may be prevented from attending the St. Louis peace congress by his prior engagement to keep the peace in Sacramento. BY patiently looking under the bed every night Europe is occasionally en "bled to enjoy the scare of her life. WELL WORTH SEEING. For weeks now, readers of the local and Chicago papers have come across what seemed at first to be stray items and which were followed tip by more exhaustive stories about "The World in Chicago." Those who have read these articles have learned by this time that "The World in Chicago" is an exposition of Christian missions and their work in all parts of the globe. It will open at the Coliseum on May 3, and con tinue until June 7. Thousands of men and women, called stewards young and old of Chicago and vicinity including the cities of the Calumet region are to take part. An accompanying pageant will be given at the Auditorium theater for two weeks. . . Every one who possibly can should see "The World in Chicago." It promises to be one of the greatest educational spectacles within recent years. It promises to give to thous

Visitors may also tour the United States, visiting parts of our own country which are almost un known to many people, such as the' frontier of the Northwest and the Southwest, Alaska which is to j be depicted by the Hammond churches, the Indian reservations and the Alleghany mountains. The scenes will be populated and animated by the thousands of stewards, who have gone through many weeks of preparation to present accurately in costume and in knowledge of facts, those missionary sections which they are to represent. "The World in Chicago" is a great undertaking. Its object is laudable. The protestant churches who are combining their efforts in staging the dramatic spectacle want to show what Christian missions have accomplished throughout civilization. It will be-something well worth see ing. THE trouble with a tariff bill framed without hearings seems to be that it puts the producer in the same predicament as the consumer.

It would be well for some of the publishers of metropolitan news papers to pay attefltion to the criti cisms against the press. They are beginning to be more numerous than they used to be; but they are only noticed when some prominent figures voice a radical broadside. To look to just and reasonable complaints now will be far better than grappling with the designs of the radicals later on. There is something the matter with the metropolitan newspapers of America. They are not giving the service, and, for the most part, they long ago went into fields that the country weekly and the small city daily have happily avoided. The re sult is exhibited in the better judg ment, the more thorough training, and a broader perspective as traits belonging to the last mentioned classes of editors. Only.a few days ago Mayor Gaynor of New York regarded as a radical in many respects in his attitude toward big newspapers advised the country editors not to pattern after the New York dailies. - . Coincident with this came the radical move of United States Senator Works to have newspapers prohibited from printing crime news. To be sure, this 13 something impractical but many peo ple will agree with the senator that some members of the metropolitan press could perform a great service by eliminating column after column of revolting crime details. Take the policy of some of our neighboring Chicago newspapers, for instance. The other day the news columns told of the plan. to build a $30, 000,000 gas plant and the pur chase of land, upon which a plant to employe 12,000 men would be erecCed at once. Yet neither of thesa items of news of interest to thousands got more space than one-fourth of the amount taken by this editorial. The Tribune, "the world's greatest newspaper," with its neighbors, gave the space stated to the industrial news yet columns were devoted to a murder and pages to the sporting news. Our metropolitan rapers devote to sports, especially baseball, space wholly disportionate to their importance. The afternoon papers are the worst offenders and many of their sporting editions owe their existence only because of some minor event., There is also much complaint of provincialism in the American press Our eastern papers know of hardly any news beyond Jersey City. The New York Herald, however, is the nearest attempt at being cosmopoli

Mrs. Rebecca Thrush of Newville spent several days last week at the home of her son Harry. - Mrs. Samuel Wolf of Carlisle and sister, Mrs. Carrie Meals of Boiling Springs, visited relatives here. Mina Geese called at the Mountz home on Saturday. Mrs. Mary A. Burd, Mechanicsburg, visited at the home of W Yost. Miss Genus Gutshall is spending a few days In Shlppensburg. Mr. and Mrs. William Weary of near Plainfield visited her sister, Mrs. Mary Fickes'. Master Edward Gitt Is better. Miss Gertie Jumper spent Saturday in Carlisle. Mrs. Ira Zimmerman is one of the ladies who are done-whitewashing. Ed. Booze's sale was well attended. We are sorry to mention the 111 -nesa of James Hanlin. The moving of Grant Reeder was largely attended. Everything went off nicely and nothing was broken. Levi Snyder was the champion cake eater. Quite a change in the weather. LIEUT. GOV. O'HARA complains that some factory girls get but 30 cents a day. That's . nothing. Lot of poor housewives drudges work twice as long and don't even get two bits a week for pin money. FLOOD menaces Louisville. But don't worry about any lives being lost. No Kentuckian was ever endangered by water. tan. The news perspective of tho metropolitan newspapers increases with their distance west of New York. Yet most of them lack in world news and the hapenings of Canada or of South America are as of those on Mars as Jupiter. You can get an important North and South American intelligence in almost all of the big English dailies. Some time ago 4"i school children were poisoned by drinking water from a well In Canada. They died. This occurrence had no mention In a Chicago newspaper. English and continental newspapers deemed it of news value and cut down a little on Jack Johnson. It Is not to be wondered at that President Wilson says that he takes the weekly edition of the London Times to learn the news of the world. A good many London dailies could give him an international aspect for it is characteristic of the London press that it is not only national but it is also cosmopolitan. In America we can count the national newspapers on the fingers of one hand. We have no newspaper wholly .cosmopolitan although cne is very near It. No London editor would make a tin god of his sporting editor nor feature his pplncipal prizefight writer as one of his greatest assets. In time the American metropolitan dailies will begin to realize their shortcomings. Probably it will be appreciated that the reporters and sub-editors, living a life of isolated detail work, harried from hour to hour, and forced to accomplish shoddy efforts because of many edi tions, do not have the thorough training that many country and small city editors possess. At least, those not in the big cities have time to think, to judge, and to weigh their readers wants. Not living m an atmosphere of helter Bkelter they are not so provincial? It is because of their shallow training of yesterday that some of the metropolitan newspaper executives of today are respon sible for conditions complained of. . There is also a growing demand that the metropolitan newspapers be restored to a place they once held a newspaper for the home. Probably because it occupies such a position is one of the reasons of the phenomenal success or one unicago newspaper. It is found in nearly every home In its sphere of influence for it has a better grasp upon world affairs than most of its contemporaries and its local, national, and foreign news top ped off with many literary qualities. represents the nearest conception of an ideal American newspaper. Some day, and that in the not distant future, we shall see a change in our metropolitan newspapers, for with the spread of knowledge and the multiplicity of reading matter readers will demand broader editorial - j policies.

More than ordinary interest at taches to what the Supreme Court of Missouri, sitting en banc, will decide in the case of William R. Nelson, owner of the Kansas City Star, who was sentenced for contempt for pub lishing that Judge Joseph A. Guthrie, of the Circuit Court, had refused to dismiss a divorce action until attor ney's fees were paid. -Charles A. Crow, commissioner in the case, has reported to the Court recommending the discharge of Mr. Nelson on the ground that the article was substantially true; that mistakes are not evidences of malice and that In Holding different views from a judge a writer is within his rights Mr. Crow says: "Kvery person has the right to publish his understanding of what a Court has decided and to differ with the Court as to what the law is, and also to criticise the law, as long at least as the citation does not attempt to impugn the motives of the Court or to charge corruption or Infamy and thereby attempt to bring our courts into disrepute." It is not understood that the ma jority of judges object to fair criti cism. Those learned in the law are as prone to error at times as the veriest layman. Considering among others the very recent case of Judge Archbald, of the federal Bench, and his culm dump deal, it is not well that forbidding criticism of courts Is even hinted at. NOW the call of the wild is heard and the papers are full of mysterious disappearances and fearsjpf foul play SECRETARY Bryan should bear in mind that the job of traveling claim adjuster has been known to lead to the presidency.

Top. lHaa Georgia Mae List (left) Little Rock, Ark., April 29. Sons of Confederate Veterans of Arkansas are determined that the reputation of that state for beautiful women shall not suffer at the 191J reunion of the Untted Confederate Veterans in Chattanooga late in May. This is the real social event of the South and the flower of Its womanhood is chosen annually by each state to represent it at the varlLIKE the way Paris disposed of auto bandits. Seven are killed and one in the insane asylum is a pattern for Chicago to follow. PLEASANT - as It may be to hear Mr. Caruso sing free of charge, few care to qualify by enrolling in a penitentiary. CONGRATULATIONS! There were only three votes in the Hammond city council In opposition to the franchise granting the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago Railway company the right to an exten sion of its line on Hohman street. It is expected that these three nays will be changed Into yeas when the franchise is called up for final passage tonight. The passage of this franchise means: 1. The addition of 2,000 people to the five cent fare limit of Hammond and the addition of 2,000 more to the ten cent fare limit. 2. The abandoning of the free bus system which is a great expense and a tremendous liability to the merchants who run them and will place the small merchant on an equal, basis with the large one in competition for the country trade. 3. The opening up of hundreds of fine productive acres for residential purposes making it possible for the workingman to buy property at a reasonable figure. 4. Will place beautiful picnic groves within a five cent fare of some 60,000 people and will open up God's great out-of-doors to the tired city dweller. 5. Will facilitate the marketing of produce in the city of Hammond and the other cities of the region thus making possible a reduction in tho cost of living. It must be apparent that no reaEonable person could oppose a measure that will mean so much to the business interests of the city and to everybody living in it. Accordingly there is no doubt that the franchise will pass at the meeting that is to be held tonight. It is the most important measure that; has been up before the council In months and the councilmen seem appreciate that fact. to . HI JOHNSON AGAIN. Of course just as we got the Ty Cobb question settled and the Baldwin works news you could depend on Gov. Hi Johnson of California to set the country by the ears with his pro gressive piffle.

J Does It not ratner beget bitterness and stubbornness that may confirm them In their shortcomings and create enmity that may end our power to do anything for them? Is there not a better way? , Would not love. Insight, understanding and real sympathy lead us to find that better way? Are not kindliness and charity better than harshness snd censure? Honor bright, did you ever know any one to be helped by condemnation? Think it over. As a matter of fact, does not condemnation Injure both the one doing the condemning and the one condemned? Does it not also tend to create a spirit of bitterness and uncharitableness in a community? Does it not beget factional discord and neighborhood quarrels? We jadge a tree by its fruits, and the fruits of the tree of condemnation are bad. Critics and censors may have some nse in the world, although that is open to question. At any rate, we have not been appointed either to the office of critic or that of censor. Criticism of officeholders and candidates may be legitimate, for their acts concert the public, and we are a part of the public. But condemnation of a private person is a different matter. That is interference with his affairs and judging without complete knowledge.
