It has never had to retrieve itself from rottenness by loud professions of progressiveness a phrase which has come to mean all things to all men- It has never back slidden and therefore has never had to be redeemed. Despite till the talk about corruption in Indiana politics, the public life of the state ha, been

CLAIMING exemption and getting it are two different things.

LET'S see, wasn't it Christ who got off the little paragraph about the one without sin let him cast the first stone?

THIS would be a happier June if there were more circuses and fewer tornadoes in this country.

SUBSCRIBER asks who 13 the greater literary man, Wilson or Roosevelt? Not a whole lot of difference- Mr. Wilson has written to wild animals, Mr. Roosevelt has written of them-

OH, yes. Some people always making mistakes in their predictions. Instead of rioting registration day there was a great patriotic outpouring of young men.

DOCTOR urging end of liquor says alcohol's only place will be in arts and sciences. If prediction pans out expect great rush to join these walks cf life.

. NO, THE OLD INDIANA. The Cleveland Leader says, under the caption, "The New Indiana:" "In spirit and in deeds a new state has come into being just across the western boundary of Ohio. It i3 clear that in certain vital respects

Indiana has been born again. "That state was the first of the large members of the union to fill its entire quota of recruits needed for the regular army. Out of the whole list of forty-eight states only three in the far west, all of them small, reached the goal ahead of Indiana. Yet for many years after the war which saved the country from dismemberment Indiana bore a taint of copperheadism and was looked upon by neighboring states as somewhat lacking in the right sort of patriotism. "It is all a notable awakening of stalwart and inspiring Americanism which 13 in entire harmony with the great advances Indiana has made in industries, commerce and general prosperity. The new Indiana is right in line with the most progressive states of the Union." No, it isn't a new Indiana that has come into being. It's a new appreciation of the old Indiana. "Bill Smith ain't the fellow he used to be." said one village oracle. "No, and he never was," was the reply. Indiana isn't the state it used to be supposed to be- And it never was. Indiana- has always been a progressive state. Its pioneers were rustic but not ignorant men. tThe wisest man of the last century was educated in Indiana. The fields and woods of a rugged Indiana farm were Lincoln's alma mater. These pioneers, old and young, hungered, as Lincoln did, for knowledge, and the men who wrote the constitution of Indiana the year Lincoln came to the state, incorporated in it one of the most advanced and comprehensive plans of universal public education ever included in a state charter. Since that day Indiana has kept well abreast of all the states in her provisions for education, in her legislation, in her contributions in men. and idea3 to the national life. The uninformed people who considered the name "Hoosier" a synonym for "greenhorn" were long ago silenced by the advance of the state not only along material lines, but as the home of more literary celebrities than any other portion of the whole country. In the matter of patriotism, Indiana is and has been the most thoroughly

American of all the states. It has the smallest percentage cf foreign born population of any state north of the Ohio; the states south of the Ohio have an undigested element in the negro which is treated as more alien than the foreign born; so Indiana is the most homogeneous of all the states. More than any other state, too, Indiana has a population representing the blending of the northern and southern strains in American citizenship. The average Indianian ha3 one grandparent from Ohio, Pennsylvania or New York, and one from Kentucky, Virginia or North Carolina- Despite this southern strain in the Indiana blood, or maybe because of it. the state sent more men to the defense of the union, in proportion to population, than any other state if It sends as many in proportion into this war it will muster two-thirds of a million fighting men before the struggle is over. Indiana's war governor, Oliver P- Morton, a native Hoosier, was Lincoln's right hand man in the west, and he showed the rest of the country how to handle the slackers and copperheads led by Ohio's more or less favorite son, Clement L. Vallandingham. There were no better soldiers than these quarter of a million Iloosiers; there have been prettier soldiers, but no fitter; the tallest, on the average, of any body of troops ever mustered, Recording to the medical records, accustomed to outdoor life, knowing how to handle a rifle, and with that frontiersman's adaptability to war which

THE BEST "GOOD THING." on. mh IardnE,0n' thp r Indiana writer, has in our opinion made one of the best arguments in support of the two million dollar liberty loan that e have seen. It is worthy of reproduction. Mr. Tarkington savs'What has become of the agitator who used to complain that' Wall street bankers gobbled up every issue of 'Gov'ment tw oper cent bonds" The proletariat,' he sale 'never get a show.' TH Jiernt govern,nent bonds re just about as good as government greenbacks. Three and one-half per cent government bonds are better than greenbacks. Greenbacks are backed by the government but don't pay inter-

'You should worry!' You will not wake up at night, sometimes, wondering if your money is in safe hands. "Uncle Sam wants you to prosper, doesn't he? He couldn't be prosperous if you weren't could he? He wants you to make sound and profitable investment, doesn't he? Right! That's whv he pays you 34 per cent plus the per cert of your taxes, when you buy his Liberty Loan bonds. "A United States government- bond is the safest Investment on earth ou would have to go to some other planet to find a safer, and, if you had the means of transportation, the success of your expedition would b a matter of grave doubt. Buying a 'Liberty Loan' bond is putting your money where you can find it where you can find ALL of it. "Don't forget this; Uncle Sam doesn't want your money to play withhe wants to u?e it for YOU, for your sake and to protect vou, and while he Is thus using it for your protection and the protection of your children, he i3 paying you, as income, 3 per cent plus your tax rate PLUS THE PER CENT VALUE OF THE FACTOR OF ABSOLUTE FINANCIAL SAFETY.

'Liberty Loan. Leaving your patriotism entirely out of the question, it is only your. Uncle Sam that has the POWER to offer you such an investment. "Talk about 'good things' this is the BEST. You've never had a chance like it before, and you probably haven't a great deal of time to take advantage of it- Better look up the facts, see how much you can manage to get in with and get in soon!"

WHY ? INDEED' This paper has been asked repeatedly by petulant, and we fear not overpatriotic, people why it devotes so much space to war news and war propa ganda. We will say right here that THE TIMES would only be too glad were there never to be another scrap of war news as long as its. presses continue to roll- Like all other papers, it has been gorged and nauseated with war for almost three years. But The life of this nation is at stake. There is no more vital thing to Interest and to demand the attention of the American people than this war. On the floor or the United States senate the other day Senator Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, said: "PITILESS PUBLICITY IS WHAT IS NEEDED. TO FIGHT THIS WAR SUCCESSFULLY WE HAVE GOT TO HAVE THE HELP OF EVERY MAN AND WOMAN IN THE UNITED STATES. TO GET THIS HELP THEY MUST KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. "THIS IS NOT A ONE'MAN WAR. IT IS NOT THE PRESIDENT'S WAR. IT IS NOT THE WAR DEPARTMENT'S WAR. IT IS THE WAR OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND THEY MUST KNOW ABOUT IT." i

Those are strong words, but they are true, and the sooner the people of

this city and this district and this state and this nation get it into their

heads, the sooner the war will be over.

The people who hink of this war as an incident instead of a crisis had

better get down to brass tacks.

One of these days they are going to be disillusioned. This is no calamity

howl. Mark well the prediction!

A year from today when American blood has been spilled on a dozen

different battle fields and the whole world's nations are at one another's

throats in a fight to the death between democracy .and autocracy in

fight to decide whether or not there shall be any more war, the scoffers of

this nation wilt scoff no longer. That day is coming.

EVEN MOVES THE GERMANS. Photographs In German newspapers show that the British'airmen who fell during the raid on Freiburg were buried with military honors. The pictures show three coffins being carried from the church, and some wreaths hare, been placed on each. The German air service apparently retain some chivalry. London Chronicle. The brave are admired everywhere, even by their enemies.
