Wilson Swings the Whip. The one outstanding feature of the Demo

cratic state convention was its resolving in favor of the direct primaries. A direct primary is a very desirable thing, but it is rather doubtful whether, under the circumstances, the Democratic party of Indiana deserves any credit for endorsing it. He who makes a careful analysis of all the published reports of the assembly will come very clearly to see that it was President Wilson who put the primary plank in the platform, and not Indiana Democracy. Governor Ralston was opposed to it. Tom Taggart was opposed to it. A large majority of the delegates were opposed to it. When the plank was read, barely a tenth of . those present gave it any applause. Had it been advocated by Delegate So-and-So from Blank county, it wouldn't have received a hearing. The

rxnly reason it did receive a neanng was tnat President Wilson had commanded, and Indiana Democrats were compelled to give a reluctant .ent to the proposal. But, as might be expected, the thing was put into such 3hape the people will be preciously little benefited by it. According to the plank as adopted, "We declare in favor of a statewide primary election law. . . . the state convention to be retained for the purpose of counsel, organization nd declaration of party principles and preceding the nominating primaries." For the convention to precede the primary means in the long run that candidates will be selected by the ?ang in the good old way. The

"organization" will meet in its various conclaves,

secret, semi-secret and public

ease bacillus have mowed us down by the millions. But these destructive forces of nature have never played such havoc with man as man himself, for it is not death which kills but injustice and it is man who has tortured, racked and preyed upon himself. Man is his own worst enemy. Greece was not destroyed by nature, but by the Greeks. Rome fell beneath the Romans. Carthage destroyed herself. It was a human hand which burned seven Troys, and the human sword which has created every field of pillage. It is the great killers who have been most honored. The men who have slain the largest number of their kind have been made kings and

presidents, and it is about the slayers that the books of history have most to tell.

But today it is not the hero of the field of slaughter that is becoming universally admired. It is the Edison, the Colonel Goethals, who is now our popular hero. And on the honor roll of our age we are writing not the names of the destroyers but the names of the conservators. Pasteur, is there, MetchnihofT, Lister, Haeckel, the Wrights, Alexandria Bell, Marconi, Santos Dumont, Westinghouse. The Son of Man, we have had faith to believe, came not into the world to destroy men's lives, but to save them. This ancient faith is now becoming justified as is also that other ancient word that he who is greatest in our midst is he who is the servant of all.

healthy currents of activity have put a new flow of blood into the city administration. If the reader will pass in review but a few of the undertakings on which the various departments are now at work, he will gain the impression (and it will be a true impression) that considerable vim and vigor have been injected into the veins of our city government. The board of works accomplished a good business stroke in deciding on the purchase of a street flusher. As things have been, our almost five miles of paved streets have been costing the city $90 a week for cleaning. This cleaning was of such a dainty, ephemeral character few citicents were able to tell whether that iob had or

broom, to give it a good scrubbing with clean water twice a week. This will really clean it, as those who have watched the flushers at work know, and yet will cost the city less than half a smuch as the ancient method heretofore used. The board is also making some careful in-

ization" backing up a "citizen" modestly propos- j vestigations of street oiling. True to the stand

ing himself as a satisfactory candidate, to repre

resent the people, what chance has some independent whose sole merit is qualification for office? Whet: President Wilson advocated presiden

tial TV

iez, he insisted that the primary be

held after the convention. He wanted to avoid this very t.hing of the party "leaders" getting together to make out a slate secretly to be put up to the. people.He considered this so essential to the success of the plan as to make it an integral part of the proposal itself. The Indiana Democrats showed that while they were willing to accept his proposal in name, they were unwilling to accept it in reality. .

This complexion of insincerity lies over the entire convention. Not only was this primary plank a bogus act, but the hoisting of the banner of Wilson progressivism was sheer hypocrisy. From its absolute ignoring of the state constitutional convention, its scornful indifference to the initiative, referendum and recall, it is very plainly seen that while Indiana Democracy has assumed the form of a "forward looking" party, it has not the power thereof. Its guise is Wilsonism ; its substance is Taggartism. The one melancholy victory for the progressive Democrats was to score a record of popular sentiment. The machine was given a taste of the winds that are loosening. It was given a sip of the cup it will some day be compelled to drink. It was given a faint intimation that bossruled political gangs are some day to be uprooted from the party control, and that the accepted theory of the American nation that it is a government by the people as well as for the people will be somewhat more surely realized.

Honor to Whom Honor is Due. Colonel Goethals is now a much be-medaled man. He is also much feasted and much praised, and is probably at this moment as popular a person as can be found under the American flag. It seems to us that the great honor which is being paid this man of marvelous executive and constructive ability is very significant of the changing spirit of the world. Goethals has killed nobody, stormed no fortress, and officiated over no slaughter house in any war. The work which has made his name a household word has been wholly a constructive work and destined to be a great conservative influence in this hemisphere. And yet he has been accorded such praise as heretofore has been lavished only on the great killers. What shall we say of an age in which the pendulum of public approval is slowly swinging away from the man who destroys to the man who constructs? Does it not mean that the old blood lust which has ruled human nature so long is gradually dying away? Nature has been cruel; her floods, her fires, her hurricans have often withered up the marrow in our bones. The tiger, the cobra, the dis-

ard set by it at tfye beginning of the year, it is learning its facts and acting afterward. But, however the work may be done, it is very probable it will be done in the very best possible way under the circumstances. Happily, this same busy department has also undertaken the solutions of our shade tree problem. Having realized what it at stake in our trees, it has set about to hit upon some effective

method for properly caring for them. The method is now ready to be turned over to the council, which body, it may be expected, will approve the board's recommendations. The city health department is preparing to

' make the fly and garbage ordinance a realitv as

well as a name. That ordinance, passed last fall, is an exceptionally good piece of city legislation, and wrill do the town a great deal of good when enforced. The city's legal department has its hands full, and more. It has undertaken to re-adjust the electric light rates. It has placed before the public service commission the proposal to lower water rates, and it has been kept busy trying to keep up with the frenzied finance of the Light, Heat and Power company. The city officials, as a whole, are honestly endeavoring to fill their offices efficiently. They have already made many savings by the use of more business-like methods, and will, unless the unexpected occurs, be able to make other saving in other directions. But what the administration is more in need of just now, and what any administration must have to be wholly efficient, is a heartier co-operation of the public. The citizens of the town seem to be so apathetic and so indifferent that their representatives find it very difficult to ascertain the public will. If the people will discover some means, such for instance as the social center, for getting together and for discussing various public problems and policies, there is no reason why we can not have here one of the most efficient city administrations in the state.

Covered with Watery Blisters. Itched and Burned Terribly. Little Rest at Night. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Entirely Cured. Iock Box 35, Maurice. Ia. " In the spring of 1911 our little daughter, age five years, bad a breaking out on ber lip and

part of her cheek that we took for ringworm. It resembled a large ringworm, only it differed in that it was covered with watery blisters that itched and burned terribly, made worse by her scratching it. Then the blisters would break

through and lot out a watery substance. She was very cross and fretful whilo sho had it and had very little rest at night. When tho eruption was at it? worst the teacher of the school sent her homo and would not allow her to attend until tho disfigurement of her face was gone. "We tried to kill it by applying but without result. It would seem to get better and then broke out again. I then wrote and received a samplo of Cuticura Soap and Ointmftnt. Wo washed the sore with the Cuticura Soap and applied the Cuticura Ointment and they gave instant relief, so wo bought some more. It gradually grew better. We kept on using Cuticura Soap and Ointment and in three or four months the child was entirely cured." (Signed) Mr. Henry Prins. Oct. 22, 1912. Cuticura Soap 2"c. and Cuticura Ointment 50c. are sold everywhere. Lllx-ral samplo of each mailed free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address postcard "Cuticura, Dept.

Mr. P. Nauschuetz, No. 221 Sharer St., Saa Antonio. Texas, writes: "About a year ago I was troubled with catarrh and could hardly find help until I took Peruna. which soon brought me relief. "Peruna is the best remedy for colds I ever found. I recommend it to any one suffering with catarrh." The first thing to accomplish in the treatment of a cold is to eliminate the accumulated poisons in the system. The excretory ducts and glands should be stimulated. This the laxative element of 'Peruna will accomplish. The next thing is to raise the tone

of the nerve centers, and assist the powers of Nature to resist the effects of the cold. The tonic element in Peruna is intended to meet this demand. It gives the necessary temporary strength to throw off the depression that the cold brings. A tonic laxative Is a quick and efficient weapon to meet a cold at all points. (Ad vertisementl
