WILL KNOCKING HELP LA FA YFTTE? The Fort Wayne News has this to Bay about a paragraph which appeared in the Lafayette Courier. Here it is: "The Lafayette Courier remarks wit'i melancholy facetiousness: "If we can't have a Greater Lafayette let's have a Crater Lafayette. Any kind of eruption would be beneficial. Even the undesirable kind would set us to scratching and prevent stagnation." The Courier has hit it off just about right. Lafayette needs an eruption an eruption that would blow clear to Gehenna her horde of dreary old mossbacks who sit around drawing interest on first mortgages and knocking on progress. A second eruption three minutes later would likewise be required to dispose of the social sharks and hyenas that prey upon the weakness of their fellow men and the foolishness and inexperience of youth. By all means let there be a Crater Lafayette After the eruptions a new and better generation may build endurlngly upoa the volcanic stones."

accomplished by the dissolution of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey! a corporation, and to all appearances a monopoly. The public will have a sneaking fear that this has not been done. Th3 corporation counsel and the financiers behind the syndicate have probably long ago provided for the contingency of such a decision and will invoke the law's delays long enough to effect this. In actual fact, the decision, if it actually hurts the Standard very much, will have the effect of bringing on financial trouble in all probability. 3o much money is tied up In the Standard that its finances cannot be disarrange! without trouble of a very serious na

ture. It is really to be hoped that nothing of the sort will take place, but that rather the next congress will pass such effective legislation as will make all corporations which are in effect monopolies, subject to regulation which will draw their fangs. This is almost too much to contemplate.

Whatever may be the cause of the spleen which has propagated these seiBmic disturbances of the Lafayette Courier and the Fort Wayne News, we do not believe knocking ever did any thing to help a town. Do the Courier and the News know of a single instance in which the knocking newspaper has accomplished anything in removing the causes of which they hope will be eliminated by volcanic action? The very fact that an eruption is prayed for would indicate the futility of such a newspaper policy. We may be doing both papers an injustice and this may be their one offense. It is our opinion, based on experience, that the easiest way to "prevent stagnation" is to boost. To encourage co-operation, to stop complaining, to have a definite object in view for advancing the whole town and to jump in and spend days and nights, not alone with the newspaper, but with money, muscle, and nervous energy, is the only method which will remove stagnation. An example of that sort does good. A paragraph such as the Courier and the News together have concocted is worse than dragon's teeth. Instead of counting up the dead one.3 and the men with grouches a hopeless and dispiriting task, let those papers

start out and make a campaign of opti

mism and performance. They will

find that half the men whom they hav?

set down as knockers will develope

over night, into men full of enthusi

asm. If those newspapers want to kill a town and thereby kill themselves, let them keep on knocking. In case we have done them an injustice, we are sure that those papers wi?l be the first to assent to our views in

general, if they do not apply in partic

ular.

Richmond has no knocking newspa

pers. It once did have, and during tho

reign of pessimism the steady fire and

fumes of sulphur did not do much to help the town. We have all learned better than to knock in Richmond

hence we will dispense with the volcanic eruptions which are so ardently

requested in Lafayette. It is impossible to boost one day and knock the next day and expect miracles oven prodigies of Vulcan do not happen from such a policy. Knocking never helped Richmond, will it help Lafayette?

THE ROAD BONDS We are glad to learn that the gravel road bonds are not invalidated by the decision of the Supreme Court. Thir validity, it appears, on good authority, will not be impaired whether the money has been expended or not. At any rate another action other than the one which the Supreme Court has passed upon, will determine the status of the bonds. We are glad, not alone for the reason that the investors as investors will not suffer, but because invalidity of the bonds in such a way as to discourage public improvements is hurtful and good roads are needed in Indiana or rather more good roads. It has been proved that good roads are good investments from the stand

point of the public welfare. The dis

couragement of the movement for

them which engenders a lack of confidence in the legislative act is far reaching in its effect and a hitch in the technicalities may cost the state more in the arresting of development than

the mere question of loss to investors.

A writer for the medical press staU-s that coughing: is responsible for the bursting of blood vessels quite frequently. A cough or cold means inflamation (fever) and congestion, and these in turn indicate that the body is full of poisons and waste matter. Simple relief, as found in patent eougrh medicines, and whiskey, often result in more harm than good; as they cause more congestion. A tonic-laxative cough syrup will work marvels and here follows a prescription which is becoming- famous for its prompt relief and thorough cures. It rids the system of the cause, except it be consumption. Don't wait for consumption to grasp its victim, but begin this treatment, which cures some, in five hours. Mix in a bottle one-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce compound essence cardiol and three ounces syrup white pine compound. Take twenty drops every half hour for four hours. Then one-half to one teaspoonful three or four times a day. Give children less according to age.

Lots of men have discovered that it is not dangerous to swear to a lie. Most of the people known as Bohemians should be known as Bums. No girl, except tho Gould and Vanderbilt girls, has enough to live on. We haven't much use for men; but we believe that occasionally there is a man worthy to live with a good wife. A man is never so anxious to fight as when he feels some one strong enough for the occasion is holding him. How sweet the short girls look, when they are seventeen or eighteen. But after they begin to get the middle age spread, they don't look so cute. If you don't admire Christmas, keep your mouth shut. With some people it is worse to speak ill of Christmas than to speak ill of the dead. The attention of the woman who thinks if she wasn't hampered by husband and children, she'd show the world how to make money, is called to the thousands of women who are not, and don't.

When you see or hear of "Walter's Buckwheat," see no further. Ask your grocer. He knows it's the best.

' (American News Service) Indianapolis. Nov. 23. The November term of the supreme and appellate courts of Indiana opened today with 981 cases on the calendar. Some of these are of the utmost importance, but most of them are just the average case that reaches the high courts. Since October 5 sixty-two cases have been disposed of in the supreme court, and eight have been overruled in the appellate court, leaving 914 on the docket to be disposed of. According to the rate the cases have been

disposed of for a number of years, thisj number is sufficient to keep both! courts busy for two years without any! additional cases being filed. The av- J erage for a year, according to a tabls

recently compiled, is 4S4 cases for both courts. K. V. Fitzpatrick. clerk of the supreme court, says the aggregate number in both courts is somewhat below the average at the beginning of the former terms, although the number listed in the appellate court is larger.

Now If the giving up of a seventy-five dollar job for a forty dollar job excites amazement, what shall be said of a young man who voluntarily resigned a position that was paying him $6,000 a month? Who did it? Hugh Chalmers began with the National Cash Register company as an office boy. In twelve years he had climbed to the top. At the age of twenty-nine years Chalmers was drawing a salary of $72,000 a year, the largest ever paid an advertising manager. And be resigned this big salary to so Into business for himself. "Whew!" says our young man. "Why, a year or two of that job would be plenty for me." Yes, but don't you see, young man, that with your disposition to be satisfled with a job you would never be able to climb up to $72,000 a year In the first place? Hugh Chalmers at twenty-nine didn't want to give up his outlook for a job. and he felt that he couldn't preserve his outlook except by going into a business of his own. Do you see?

He Declares Small Families Are the Hope of This Country

Philadelphia. Pa., Nov. 23. Limit the number of children in each family and limit the immigration to the United States, or else there is a grave danger of the population exceeding the available food supply, is the warning of Scott Nearing. instructor in economics at the Wharton School of Finance and Commerce of the Unlverp!ty of Pennsylvania. Speaking before the Hebrew Literature society Sunday afternoon on "Race Suicide," Professor Nearing ridiculed former President Roosevelt's pet theory of the advisability of big families, declaring that the anti-race suicide sentiment was responsible for the increased cost of living. Woman's sphere in life, he declared, was not to bear children, but to rear

a few children to become good citi- ! zens. A mother who spends the greater part of her life in bearing chilidren is not fitted physically or men- ! .11 1 , . I 1 , ,

fessor Nearing's remarks caused a sensation. He was bitterly assailed by' several members of the audience, and in order to escape s heated discussion hastily left the auditorium before tho meeting ended. "The human population will soon overtake the food supply he began. "If the Americans want to maintain their own standard of living they must restrict the number of people who immigrate to their shores. "If woman is to do effective work In this world she is not to have twenty children in thirty years and rear tbeni into splendid citizens. Woman is given the task of educating the young. This work. and. not child bearing, is the principal function of her life. She cannot instruct the young if she has a large family. A mother with an ever increasing family cannot bring up the children properly. "American families need not many children, but good children, not only good in the moral sense, but in quality. The population should not be great in numbers, bat good in quality.
