Prof. John Thompson The action of the school board in tendering the principalship of the high school to Prof. John F. Thompson was a deserved recognition of the services he has rendered that institution during the five months he has administered its affairs. Placed at the head of the school under a temporary arrangement for administering school affairs it did not take long for Prof. Thompson to convince the board members, the public, the teachers and the students that he was one of the best principals in the history of the institution. Discipline was restored by a tactful procedure

and school work was established on a firmer

basis. While the school has lost an excellent execu

tive through Prof. Thompson's refusal to accept the offer of permanent principal of the institution, this action on his part has been offset by

his acceptance of the appointment as assistant principal and supervisor of the agriculture course of the vocational training department. In the work Prof. Thompson will now take up he is regarded as an authority, and under his direction this branch of school activity will be of the greatest benefit to the community.

Another "Harmony" Meeting

The "get-together" movement in Kansas has collapsed with a dull thud and deep gloom once more prevails in the ranks of the Republicans of the Sunflower state. After three months of advertisement and preparation the great "harmony" meeting was held and when the roll was called, among those who answered "here" were the following: Dave Mulvane, member of the Republican national committee and the leading reactionary in the state, who played a prominent part in the assassination of the Republican party a year ago this month; Chester I. Long, ex-standpat senator; Charles F. Scott, a reactionary ex-congressman; Dan Anthony, member of congress and a former Cannon follower; Mort Albaugh and George Clark, leaders of the Republican League that led the fight in Kansas last fall against Progressive principles. Incidentally, these were the men who engineered the "harmony" meeting. Included in the list of those who were conspicuous by their absence at the "get-together" fiasco were: Senator J. L. Bristow, former Governor Stubbs, the fighting Progressive leader; Congressman Victor Murdock, floor leader of the Progressives in congress; Sheffield Ingalls, William Allen White, Henry J. Allen and other Progressive leaders too numerous to mention. Another interesting feature of the meeting was the presentation of the resignation of J. N. Dolley as chairman of the Republican state committee, an act which had been foreshadowed several days before by his public announcement that he had united with the Progressive party. There was an effort on the part of some of the delegates to mak good the feeble protestations of progressiveness of those responsible for the meeting. These misguided delegates had the temerity to try to get the resolutions committee to write into the platform some words of encouragement concerning the minimum wage, workman's compensation, widows' pensions, nine-hour day for working women, recall of decisions, and similar social and industrial reforms, but the amusing farce was promptly terminated by the vigorous suppression of these "agitators," and the best they could obtain was a feeble indorsement of a makeshift form of the initiative and referendum. Even this was fought bitterly by Charley Scott, who, for a time, threatened to take the matter to the floor of the meeting. The failure of the "get-together" movement in Kansas is just another illustration of the futility of any attempt to merge two political organizations so widely divergent as the Republican and Progressive parties. The Lamb Appointment The New York Sun discourses: "It is likely enough that the Hon. John E. Lamb of Terre Haute, a sheep of Brother Bryan's for a generation, will be just as good an ambassador to Mexico, if his nomiaation is confirmed, as anybody else. Some might aver that to these countries to the south, in trade vital to us, most fertile in opportunities of trouble, should be sent the flower, of long trained diplomacy, the men of experience, tafi; international accomplishment. There are such men in the diplomatic service and they sometimes get a small job." The imputations of the skeptical, referred to by the Sun, that the Hon. John Lamb of Terry Hut is not a trained diplomat, are not founded on facts. They should know that many years ago, John Lamb adopted politics as a profession and to play that game in Indiana on the scale of Mr. Lamb's operations one not only has to be a trained diplomat but a warrior as well, especially if he plays politics in Terre Haute. Comhining both of these qualifications . as

Mr. Lamb does, the Sun can rest assured that

Mexican politics, from the common or ward va-i

riety, on up the line to the national palace, will prove no mystery to him.

Mother's day is now generally observed throughout the country, the movement originating in Philadelphia. And now Webster, Ind., makes a bid for fame by launching a movement for the observance of Father's day annually. This little Wayne county town will pay tribute to poor old dad next Sunday. The event will be the first recognition given to the faithful and inconspicuous bread winner since that classic musical composition, which runs, "Everybody works but father; he sits around all day," was placed on the market, to meet with instantaneous popularity. It is to be hoped that some small display of interest will be evidenced by the mothers and daughters of Webster at the ceremonies next Sunday. It might be to their interests, also, for Dad appreciates the few attentions bestowed upon him.

Politics As a "Spiritual Endeavor"

Despite the recall of furnaces into active service again, and the frost bulletins of the weather bureau, there is one unmistakable evidence of summer the first family reunion has been held. T COURAGE f i BY HERBERT KAUFFM AN j

'Tis not because of muscled meat We place men in the master's seat; We do not reckon toughened thew. Nor breed, nor creed, nor bulk, nor hue, The force with which the anvil rings, Xor care how hard the hammer swings; The might in brawn, the strength in bone, Can never serve success, alone; Think you 'twas Spartan steel and skill That saved Greece from the Persian will? Think you Horatius won the day And held the bridge through nimble play Of sword? Or when all Europe lay Cringing beneath Napoleon's sway, 'Twas better guns and cannon-balls That swept the fields and crumbled walls? All that was splendid in every age Was written by valor on history's page. Giants in pigmy guise, Prophets with groping eyes; What matter sight or size When men build to the skies? What matter numbers, years, If we disdain our fears?

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

INCENTIVE ENOUGH. Ohio State Journal. If these meteorological conditions don't prompt an influx of letters to this old palladium of liberty, proving that the historic June frost occurred on June 5, 1869, and another influx, proving that it was on some other date, we shall feel quite sure that Messrs. Pro Bono Publico and Veritas have moved out of this latitude.

DESERVE HONORABLE MENTION. Liberty (O.) Press. Since time begun the busy bee has been held up as a model of industry and the ant has also met with its share of commendation on this line, but no one has had a word to say In behalf of the wireworm and cutworm. And yet we have wireworms and cutworms in our garden that for industry can beat the bee or ant to a frazzle.

MIGHT BE INCENTIVE TO COME. Cleveland Plain Dealer. A Frenchman is threatening to come over here and win the pugilistic championship. Perhaps when he finds that most of the American champions are dead or wounded or in the penitentiary he will consent to stay away.

NO CASUS BELLI OR OTHER BAD EFFECTS. Chicago Record-Herald. Eight nations have now indicated that they favor Mr. Bryan's peace plan. Grape-juice diplomacy isn't so bad after all.

WHERE REFORM STILL LAGS. Toledo Blade. Notwithstanding the many movements for the uplift of the children, some people cling to the notion that when a baby cries it should be given a banana.

ADVANTAGE OF PUBLICITY. New York Evening Journal. The present popularity of the bichloride of mercury tablet shows once more that it pays to advertise.

A MARKED IMPROVEMENT in the spirit of politics is noted, in the New York Times, by Norman Hapgood, one of the new owners and the editor-in-chief of Harper's Weekly, and also the chairman of the New York Citizens' Committee which is planning a fusion campaign in the metropolis for the fall election. "A serai-religious or acutely ethical feeling is the real dynamic force behind the change in our political conditions," is the belief of Mr. Hapgood, who maintains that politics is no longer a mere conflict of partizan points of view, but "a highly spiritual endeavor" to discover the means of giving "to the mass of the people the best things in life," and he holds that the objects of progressive policies today are in many details "identical with the objects that form the basis of the Christian religion." The willingness to change established customs and to reduce established privileges Mr. Hapgood terms "enthusiastic humanity," and remarks that it Is much more in evidence in the Middle West, "where wealth and education are more evenly distributed, than in the great social and financial centers of the East." He adds that there are various reasons why it is hard to make the progressive feeling count in New York, one being that in any wealthy community the political organizations "are likely to be dominat

ed by men of great wealth" and by vast business organizations; yet this has happened not in New York alone, as we read: "Everywhere in this country the difficulties of city government have been increased by the fact that we have rarely brought the citizens forward in our politics, but have subordinated the

individual to the political machine, j

which has invariably been a subordinate part of one or the other of the

great national parties. These machines have not only included a great deal of , inefficiency and considerable dishon-' esty, but, what is even more important, they have prevented the best intelligence of our cities from taking over the control of our city govern-, ments and bringing advauced aud ere-) ative thought to bear on city prob-', lems." i

That we shall eventually establish a system by which a great city shall be permanently free from the thrall of national partizanship is Mr. Hapgood's conviction, aud he contiuues:

iuy elections m me uui remote j days of the future will be won or lost ! on questions bearing only upon city j problems; only such municipal offi-; cials shall be chosen as we the public have an interest In; the rest will be ap-1 pointed. In no other way can the present advantage of the professional poli- ; tician be wholly done away with, j Among political devices for better city i government the short ballot Is the

most important." Literary Digest.

3eashell Windowpanes. Seashells are used as generally as windowpunes in the Philippines, and particularly in Manila, as Is glass in this country, and the effect of tropical sunlight filtering through the silvery grayness of the shells, softened and gentle, Is magnificent. The windows in the main entrance of the Philippine General hospital, Manila, are probably as fine a modern example of the use of the seashells as can be obtained. The seashell windows may also be seen at their best in the old churches.
