ICntered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second Class Mall Matter.

Traffic Control The suggestion given council by Mr. George H. Knollenberg to settle the Eighth and Main streets' traffic congestion problem was well conceived. To let the traffic policeman at that corner have absolute control and signal to stop or come on by a whistle, will undoubtedly afford great relief. Naturally, it is a good suggestion because it offers system instead of the present anarchistic come-when-you-please, plan. The one is efficiency ; the other disorganization. At the same time Mr. Gordon's complaint 'against interfering with the street cars' schedules does not appeal to us as a very valid objection. Most of the cars run on a fifteen minute schedule. At present nearly all of them finish their fifteen-minute interval together at Eighth and Main. It seems to us if each car were given a two or three minute difference in arriving time at that corner, congestion could be materially lessened, without the slightest interference with the efficiency of the car service to the traveling public. The traffic handling proposition advanced by Mr. Knollenberg and this proposed change in car schedules ought to work together in minimizing interference with Main street and cross town traffic.

Gettysburg Fifty years ago all the world waited with bated breath for the roar of the last gun at Gettysburg. When the battle should be over, if a sun setting in a western haze of war red were to send its parting rays on a field in possession of an army garbed in gray, England, for its cotton manufacturers, and France, for its wild emperor's Mexican dream, would recognize the South. Then indeed would the cause of freedom be black, for three powerful enemies rather than one dwindling foe, would be battling to keep the shackles on. When the morning mists cleared, however, and the cannons' roar was but a memory of the day before, the sun shone through on an army of blue. The word went round the world that the invasion had failed. Not one important northern city had been "captured," much less "held" for a "reasonable time." "Government of the people, for the people and by the people" was not "to perish from the earth." Half a century later fifty thousand survivors of both armies, the blue and the gray, that fought on that field of destiny, are gathered there again. They are gathered there in peace and amity, not in bitterness and strife. The northern survivors of that great battle take great pride in the memory of their mighty

-udiievement. They know history today accords

the battle of Gettysburg first place among the conflicts of the civil war. It was the turning point, the battle that marked the beginning of the end. Though it recalls a disastrous southern defeat, the survivors of the sons of Dixie are no whit less eager to join in the celebration of Gettysburg today. The words of the great northern leader, "This union shall not perish," ring in their ears, and their hearts are glad that they can come together in this celebration with the northerners as brothers, united under one flag, one country, indivisible.

Early Closing for Stores Once again the leaders among the retail business men of Richmond are agitating earlier closing for stores during the extremely hot days of July and August. It is a worthy movement and should have the support of Richmond's trading public. Suppose you were a clerk these hot days. You would have to stand on your feet from early in the morning until just before evening meal time. The hotter, you were the less you could show it. You would always have to have a pleasant smile on your countenance, no matter how much of a crabbed grouch you were waiting on. Fine. But finer still if you will support the merchants in their 5:30 o'clock in the afternoon closing plan. That will save many a tired girl from a half to an hour of the worst service of the day those last hot minutes that travel so slowly around the dial. And better still. Don't be a grouch when making your purchases. You may be hot and tired but your condition isn't one, two, three with that of the tired little girl behind the counter. Rewarding Creators of Art Consider the poor artist. He starves most of his life some do and after he is dead we showi er our appreciation on him by purchasing of others for thousands the works he sold for a few dollars. " Some artistSj it is true, live to receive the

thousands. But it is for their later works. The possessors of the earlier sell them for greatly advanced prices when the value of the later becomes established. The author is protected in his copyright. The composer, as well. The artist alone sells once and for all time the soul he puts into his work. Why not legalize a copyright for the artist? Why not grant to him or his heirs the difference between each new selling price and the previous one, on back to the original cost, every time one of his works of art changes hands? It would be the fair thing to do. The owner of a work of art under such circumstances would be protected in its cost value ; interest, the investment not representing anything capable of itself creating new wealth, being figured in terms of esthetic pleasure. The increment over and above the cost value fairly belongs to its creator, the artist, or to the artist's heirs.

A POETS VAGRANT SONG

Sun, moon and stare, and ample air, The birds shrill whistling everywhere, Fields white with lambs and daisies; The pearls of eve, the jeweled morn, The rose rich blowing on the thorn, The glow of blush-rose faces; The silver glint of sun-smlt rain, The scattered sun-gold of the main, And heaven's sweet breath that moves it; The earth, our myraid-bosomed nurse. This whole miraculous universe Belongs to him who loves It. Why fret then for the gold of this, The fame of that man, or the bliss "Of such another's graces? O heart that chimes forth gold in verse, My heart, thou art the magic purse Which all dull trouble chases; Thine too fruitive of all fame When the live soul as flame with flame, Weds the dead soul that moves It; Then sing for aye, and aye rehearse This whole miraculous universe belongs to him who loves It. Mathilde Blind.

OVER fifty years ago Macauley wrote to an American. "Your constitution is all sail and no anchor. You are

bound to have demagogues who will tell your people during hard times XI Vr f? 1 1 8 monstrous 1 My j Vi iniquity that one man A Ji 8nouia nave a miiHon .." r'JjAl while another cannot tret a full meal. You will have the demagogue ranting about the tyran ny oi capitalists and asking why anybody should be permitted to drink champagne and ride in a carriage while thousands of honest folks are in want of necessaries. Either civilization or liberty must perish. Either some Caesar or Napoleon will seize the reins of your government with a strong' hand, or your republic will be plundered fearfully and laid waste by barbarians in the twentieth century as the Roman Empire was in the fifth; with this difference, that the Huns and Vandals who ravaged the Roman Em pire came from without and that your Huns and Vandals will have been engendered within your own country by your institutions." This is a frightful picture. But Macauley was a literary prophet. He was a bookish man. He knew more about the people of ancient Rome, about the Britons under Saxons and Normans, about the populace under Charles Second than he did about the Ameri cans under James Buchanan. Sometimes an historian knows more about the children of ancient Athens than he does about his own family. Sometimes he can tell us more about the women in Babylon or Assyria than he can about his own wife, mother and sisters. It is remarkable how much the foreign writers know about America and its institutions. It is like the thrilling writers of Indian stories who never saw any Indians but wooden ones in front of cigar-stores. The less a man knows about the American people the better book he can write for select literary clubs. The more he knows of the American people in shops, stores, factories, mines; on farms, rivers, lakes, railroads; in schools, colleges; in country cross-road grocery-stores and post-offices; in mountans, vales and Inland villages, and towns and cities the more he, sees and hears them on the great main-travelled roads, the peddlers, the hucksters, the travellers, all Btriving to get on, the less he says, because he knows that the best can never be said. He ha8 struck the unsayable and indefinable American spirit which no foreign writer ever yet understood. No Privileged Class.

I then requested the attending physician to give his diagnosis and he Informed me that she had Consumption and was beyond a'.I medical aid. When I asked If he thought that it was useless to try the Alterative, he replied that "No physician could help her any and I could suit myself about it.' So I immediately had Rev. Wm.

Socialism Wrong It Cannot Prevail in America By Edgar Iliff

class. There Is no "capitalistic class," These are terms invented by the eternal demagogue. Capital is capable however small. The sum of $50. invested in a business makes the investor a capitalist. This capital has a million ramifications, permeating the whole social and commercial fabric. The Italian historian Ferrero has pointed out in his 'Greatness and Decline of Rome" that Cataline was an ancient demagogue who tried to rise to power by denouncing the "capitalistic class." The demagogue is eternal. Macaulay had the peculiar prejudices of bookish men added to the narrowness of those who draw their lessons from books rather, than from life itself. He disliked what the masses liked. He sneered at "Uncle Tom's Cabin" because it was popular among ignorant people. He hated slavery in the abstract but couldn't stand Mrs. Stowe because she was inartistic in writing her great story. Dickens' novels gave him cold chills simply because they were immensely popular with the common heart of humanity. He tried to unhorse every hero of the street. But he loved to restore life to mummies. His heroes were those who had died "unwept, unhonored and unsung." His temper was scholastic with all of its peculiar infirmities. Yet he was a brilliant star of the first magnitude and his histories are more readable than the six best sellers of today. What Lincoln Had To Say. Lincoln, a man of the common people; Lincoln, whose brain contained more wisdom than all the scholarship of Europe; Lincoln, whose world was his country and to do good was his religion; Lincoln, the greatest seer and prophet ever born of woman Lincoln said this: "I hold that in the contemplation of universal law, and of the constitution, the union of these states is perpetual. Continue to execute all the express promises of our national constitution and the union will endure forever, it being impossible to destroy it except by some action not provided for in the instrument itself." We stood another test in those years of misery and awe. when the hearthstone was fireless and the table bare; when honest workmen became tramps; when merchants committed suicide; when the souphouse took the place of the theater and the home. We American people refused to "dope" and declared for honest money and national integrity, the greatest triumph in the world's history. But now we are approaching another crisis. We are going down the gorge and nearing the whirl pool rapids. Socialism is demanding from every street corner that the American people abolish the supreme court of the United States, wipe out the United States senate, take the veto power away from the president, expropriate of it at every turn. A laughable burlesque on with it is Bhown; a Warren Kerrigan American comedy, "Calamity Ann Takes a Trip;" also a' Thanhouser drama, "The Lost Combination," a

or confiscate all capital, all horses, all farms, all railroads, all factories, all business enterprises big or little. There must be no more reut, interest or profit on the face of the earth. These demands are equal to Jack Cade's commands that wine flow through the water pipes of London for the poor. The Socialists are declaring that the national constitution was the work of the "privileged classes' and "was forced upon the people without their consent." Never in the history of the United States has there been such an attack upon the guaran-tet-d liberties of America. Never such an open avowal of anarchy. Socialism Never Will Prevail. But Socialism will never prevail in this country. A preacher once delivered a powerful sermon on eternal damnation and a man arose in the congregation and said: "Say, the American people will never stand for that!" We are not the rabble the average European scholar thinks we are. The pessimist, in his library of dusty and dreary histories, who never struck hands with a reul American, tells us that we have no ideals. It Is a lie! The American people never had more patriotism. Their ideals are higher today than ever. They read more. They know more. They travel more. They have less prejudice, less superstition. They are more social. They are more humane. Their homes are not declining. They have emerged from a provincial sense of justice to a world wide sense of humanity. They love good literature. They honor character. They believe in school houses. They love liberty passionately. They love fair play. They hate slavery in all its hideous shapes. They hate a dictator in any guise. They love mercy. They love manly courage. They love beauty In art and nature. They receive new truths with gladness? They accepted Darwin and Spencer. Koch and Pasteur, before the old countries did. They quickly discard error when shown the truth. They love light rather than darkness. They have hope and can see "the calm beyond the storm, the dawn beyond the night." Their hearts are finely atuned instruments awaiting the touch of some divine minstrel yet unborn, who shall awaken them to the way of wider justice and the poetry of a new joy and gladness. Amid strife and strivings. In poverty and toil the men and women of America are imbued with, a strange and mysterious heritage for their children, with a deep love for "Our Country-" They are not snarling s corners of men. They are lovers of honest men. haters of hypocrites and demagogues. "Safe as the sun are the lovers of men," said Emerson.
