Tendencies

Items Gathered In From Far and Near

The Advocacy of Peace. From th Providence Tribune. A conservative and usually thoughtful Boston journal says that the temper of the time in this country, at least, is strongly favorable to world peace . and the conditions that logically accompany it, as Is proved by the wide advocacy of it in the leading newspapers and magazines; that this attitude betokens a higher standard of civilization and international justice, and that war, which was formerly supposed to contribute to the prosperity of non-combatants who supplied the . necessities of contestants and was looked upon as a good thing for busi- ' ness. is no longer so regarded. There Is still fighting blood in men or na- ; tions and it requires very little to set it on fire. It is a simple matter to advocate peace when we are at peace, "but we have cried peace In vain aforetime when there was no peace and w may cry it again to no ' purpose. So far as the commercial V aspect of war Is concerned, civilized peoples have never urged it or defendv ed It on the ground that it promoted their materia) welfare. Still, if there were to b war tomorrow it is safe to predict that its financial ' and industrial effect would be studied quite , as carefully and closely as formerly, and ft might be extremely difficult, if v not Impossible, to persuade non-com-r; batants that they could derive no ben- , ., . . - . , ' ., . - -W . ", - '

The tendencies at work today are hard to understand because they are right at our front door and no perspective can be gained. Maybe ten years from now some man by diligent research in the newspapers and public documents will be able to set forth for our perusal just what a great many things mean we will know ourselves. That no day passes without some mention of the commission form of government in the papers that come into this office is not surprising but there is a novelty and unending variation to the plan's development. Here Is a review of a bi-partisan form of government by commission with a citizens' committee attachment which has just filtered in; from Huntinton West Virginia. "The bi-partisan form of commission government which had its inception in this city has been In effect in Huntington for one year. A single year Is not a conclusive test of the real value of any form of government, but It is sufficient to give an insight into the practical workings of a governmental system and Is an earnest of what may be expected in thefuture. It is well then, at the end of the first year of the Huntington plan, to review its operation for the past twelve months. The Huntington plan of government is distinctly new. While in many respects modeled upon the Galveston and Des Moines charters, which have proven so beneficial, the bi-partisan provision and the substitution of the citizens board for the initiative and referendum are distinctly novel features. There were those who were of the opinion that the bi-partisan form of government would be a continual series of deadlocks. In view of the bitter partisanship that had prevailed in many administrations in the past there was some reason for this belief. The experience of the first year demonstrates conclusively the fallacy of this contention. There has never been an administration in any West Virginia city which has worked in more perfect harmony and in which the discord has been less than in Huntington during the past year. Instead of a continuous deadlock there has been constant accord." Now the Interesting thing about all this is not in the details and their differences from other forms of government. The prime thing to be taken from all this movement in many 6tate all over the country and in large cities and small towns is the desire for something better. You can remember that the day was when we read nothing but the shame of the cities in our magazines. Men declared that they would not take home such stuff appearing in the magazines because it was not fit for their families to read. But many did. And what is the result? A careful hunting for a new form of government which will give the men In the street a chance to keep his eye on the machinery. It took some time for the country to demand visible and open plumbing. Some hard winters and plumbers' bills; some disease and a good deal of discomfort, at last Induced the sleepy house holder that perhaps it was time to remodel his plumbing. Cesspools of all sorts are becoming names in the dictionaries rather than things in peoples' cellars. Perhaps plumbing and city government are not too widely different in their operations to be made the subject of analogy. But this is the optimistic point of view.

Just as they had all declared that Gifford Pinchot was afarce and had lost his vigor Just as they had prepared the shroud he made a speech at St. Paul.

If this keeps on the little document given to the world on April 5 at the Indiana Republican Convention will be even more unpopular up and down the canyon in the neighborhood of Wall Street.

Mr. Shively is still vigorously demanding that his election be made the subject of investigation. He has no wish to be the Senator from Indiana while there is a cloud to the title all admire such sheer honesty.

efit from It. At any rate, absence of war talk in time of profound peace

does not mean that the millennium has arrived.

Aviation Spectacle. From the New York Times. There are many millions of persons in this country who never saw an aeroplane in flight. For that reason crowds converge upon points favorable for observation whenever it is announced that Curtiss or Hamilton or Harmon or the Wright brothers are to essay a flight. For that reason the great plain at Mineola takes on the appearance of a well attended county fair toward sunset every evening. The sight of en aeroplane in flight produces emotions of astonishment and of pleasure. Of astonishment because of our deep-rooted respect for our ancient law of gravitation, which biplanes set at naught; of pleasure because this triumph of the air is about the most graceful thing that man has yet done in any vehicle of his devising, notably in rising fijom the ground and in alighting, which appeal to the sense of beauty as does the flight of birds.

Good Military Reasons. From the New York Tribune. Madriz's troops are reported to be retiring before Estrada's "for purely military reasons." It was also we believe for "purely military reasons" that Gen. Kuropatkin "lured the Japanese on" in Manchuria.

Kansas Society. From the Atchison Globe. Society may suit some people, but so far as we are concerned it consists of nothing but an uncomfortable chair to sit on and a dab of something indigestible to eat.

Takes Tim to Quit. From the St. Louis Star. It is now being figured in Washington that if congress quits work now and does nothing more it will be possible to adjourn by the first of July.

(Palladium Special)

Indianapolis, June 13. Indiana will be well represented at the reception

which will be given to Theodore Roosevelt on his return to New York next Saturday from his foreign trip.

And at the same time it is known that

Mr. Roosevelt will be invited to come

into Indiana and make speeches dur

ing the campaign this year.

State Chairman Lee will call a meeting of the executive committee of the republican state committee for some

day early this week to make definite arrangements to send some one to New York representing the state committee. Just who will go as the representatives of the committee is not yet known, but it is likely that Chairman Lee will be one of tbe delegates. The state committee has purchased

three railroad tickets, it is said, so it

will mean that two others will go with

him.

It is understood that prominent republicans from every state in the union will be sent to New York by the campaign organizations to attend the reception to the former president, thus making it a national republican affair. The executive committee of the Indiana organization will meet and give an official aspect to the sending of the three men from this state. Numerous other republicans will go from Indiana, also, but they will not go as representatives of the state organization. Will He Speak Here? There is still much interest in whether Mr. Roosevelt will make campaign speeches in Indiana. It is certain that he will be invited, but whether he will accent the invitation. The republicans are all hopiui? that he will accept, for they realize the great work

he could do in Indiana if he should come in and help the republican ticket. There has been a lot of democratic talk to the effect that the republicans who are opposed to Senator Bever-

idge's course on the tariff would try to defeat him for re-election even if they had to elect a democratic legislature. This talk, however, has disappeared, and in its place there has come talk to the effect that this element of the republican party will not do anything of the kind. One of the republicans of the old line, as the democrats like to call them, said the other day that there are no republicans who will vote against the legislative ticket. "I do not hesitate to say what I think of the situation," he said. "I belong to the old line of the party, as it is called, and I am sure that if there was anything in the wind looking to the defeat of the legislative ticket I would know it, for I have been campaigning for years in Indiana. But I have yet to hear of the first republican who is going to vote asainst the legislative ticket. We are all going to support the republican ticket from end

Mr. Roosevelt's reception by the Cambridge men. surpassed in enthusiasm anything within the memory of the oldest Cambridge student.

to end and we believe we will be able to elect it. After tbe republican legislature has been elected the question of electing a United States senator will be taken up. It may be best for the party to send Senator Beveridge back to the senate. If that appears to be the best for the party it will be done. If, on the other hand, it appears to be best for the party to send some one else in his place, that will be done. But the general belief is that Senator Beveridge will W sent back." But Little Comfort. This same expression has been heard from several of the Republicans who have been counted as unfriendly to Beveridge, and from the way they talk there seems to be little left for

the Democrats to take comfort in along that line. E. S. Shumaker, state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League, learned a fejw days ago that the publicity department of the Indiana Association of Brewers has been "putting one over" on him for some time past. It came to his notice that the brewers" headquarters in this city has been sending out a daily bulletin service to thousands of men throughout the state. The bulletins have been sent to ministers, lawyers, temperance people, business men and others of the prominent men of the state, and each bulletin contained a short quotation from some prominent man, a political leader, scientist or some one else on the subject of prohibition and personal

liberty. Of course, in every Instance, the quotation was opposed to prohibt tion. The purpose of the brewers, ev

idently, was to cause the recipients to' see that many leading men are opposed to prohibition.

Just how effective these bulletins have been cannot be told, but Mr. Shumaker has taken steps to overcome whatever damage it may have done to the Anti-Saloon cause. In the last issue of the American Issue, the official organ of the Anti-Saloon League, he devotes considerable space to exposing the brewers plan. George Schwartxkopf, of Columbus, could have been state fish and game commissioner if he bad not waited so long before making up his mind to accept the place. When it was too late Schwartzkopf telegraphed Governor Marshall, last Saturday, that he would accept the place, but the Governor had already scratched hit name off the list of possibilities, and later in the day George W. Miles, of Syracuse, received the appointment. Recommended Highly. Some months ago, Z. T. Sweeney, of Columbus, fish and game commissioner, tendered his resignation to Governor Marshall, with a request that It be accepted at once. The Governor immediately began looking around for a man to take his place. Schwartz

kopf was recommended highly and the Governor believed he would make a good commissioner. He offered the place to Schwartzkopf. but the latter decided that he could not afford to take it subject to the conditions which the Governor wished to impose. The Governor made up his mind that the new commissioner, whoever he might be, would be required to live in Indianapolis and maintain his office here. Sweeney has always lived in Columbus, and only had a deputy here. The objection which Schwartzkopf found to this arrangement was that he could not afford to give up his business at Columbus and move to Indianapolis for the salary of $1,200 a

year which Is all that the fish and game commissioner gets for his services. The Governor told him to think it over, however. Later on the Gov-

I ernor learned from Schwarttkopf's

friends that he would not consider the place at .that salary, and the Govern

or began looking around for another

man. Miles looked good to him, and he sent for him to come in and talk the matter over. Miles was due here Saturday afternoon. In the forenoon the Governor received a telegram from Schwartzkopf saying that he accepted the place with all or the conditions attached. It was too late. Governor Marshall could not have given him the job then even if he had wished to do so. for Miles had tbe call on it at that time. Miles came in the afternoon and the Governor announced his appointment. .

The local Lutheran churches of the General Synod, which embraces the First English, St. Paul's and Second English Lutheran, are preparing to take, up the Laymen's Missionary Movement. Joint committees of the three churches met last evening at the Second church to take the preliminary steps toward a joint banquet, at which some permanent action will be taken to carry out the plan in the three churches. Three committees were named as follows: Banquet, H. C. Hasemeier, E. B. Knollenberg and William Keller; program, E. M. Haas. Geo. H. Knollenberg and Charles Reynolds; permanent organization, Dr. A. L. Bramkamp, Phillip Johnson and Charles Crivel. The committee on program will get some strong outside speakers to address the men at the banquet. It will probably be held at one of the churches.
