Our Own Civil War To those who hurl verbal vitriol at the Mead

cans for being "bandits, Indians, anarchists and d d greasers" and what-not, and who lift hand

of holv horror "against the dreadful conditiara

in the land of the peons, we suggest a turning of the eye toward Colorado. In that state, above which the Stars and Stripes are floating, they will discover a condition every whit as disgraceful as that obtaining in Huerta's land. In northern Colorado, 3500 miners have been on a chronic strike for three years. In southern Colorado 14,000 have been out since last September. They have made, of course, the usual demands for shorter hours and more pay, but the real crux of the trouble was a rebellion against the use of exactly the same methods of industrial tyranny that have created Villa and his brigands who are conducting a still bloodier strike south of the border. Just as the landlords of Mexico called out the Federal army to protect their plantations, the mine lords of Colorado have demanded of the President the use of the standing army, have insisted that the Governor demolish the union with the state militia, and have even called in 600 gunmen, whom they have armed with machine guns and instructed to shoot to kill in every disturbance. These imported toughs have killed more American citizens than have the Mexican bandits and they have not hesitated to charge on horseback through crowds of women and children.

This dreadful situation, which seems daily to get further from control by the authorities, is one more bloody demonstration of the absolute futility of our present methods of dealing with labor troubles. Even if the men are driven back to work or Mr. Rockefeller and his fellow mineowners are forced to yield, the suspension of hostilities will leave the root of the trouble untouched. So also does this civil war reveal the seriousness of our immigration problem. Of the almost 20,000 strikers in the state, seventy per cent are unnaturalized aliens with little or no conception of the duties or rights of American citizenship. Manifestly it is impossible to deal with them as with those having the American point of view. To cope with these conditions, we need an industrial statesmanship, a thing now as rare as it is valuable. We need men who can realize that these various sporadic disturbances are merely symptoms of fundamental injustices which lie at the roots of our whole industrial system. Mr. Bryan. Popular leaders may be generally divided into two classes of idealists and practicalists. An idealist is one who understands what the people want. He has the ability to inspire and to create a demand. His equipment is imagination, eloquence and a sympathetic understanding of the masses. The practicalist is the man who knows how to get what we want. He is able to translate our

U, S, INVESTMENTS OF $550,000

IN MEXICO JEOPARDIZED BY WAR

ideals into peactiee. The idealist inspires the people to demand a thing: the practicalist enables them to secure that thing. Both these classes are necessary. We cannot do without the idealist because where the vision is lost, the people perish. We cannot do without the practicalist. If our visions cannot be realized, they are worse than worthless. As kmg as the idealist is content to inspire us with visions of better things and doesn't attempt the work of the practicalist, all is well. But trouble ensues when he tries to do the other man's work for which he is unfitted. In putting ideals into practice, the imagination and the eloquence of the idealist become a source of weakness and the man is sure to be discredited. W. J. Bryan is just now in that situation. As the eloquent and persuasive idealist, able to arouse the public to new visions of a better country, he was the peerless leader. As a man in public office, undertaking the opposite task of

making those visions work, Mr. Bryan is a failure. His stock has gone down a hundred per cent. His ideal of peace was fine. His methods for realizing that ideal are bad. His vision of popular government was stimulating to all ; his means to attain popular government a failure. Humorists have poked a deal of fun at Mr. Bryan for going back to the Chautauqua platform. There is nothing funny about that. Mr. Bryan as a Chautauqua orator is a national

force. The only time Mr. Bryan is material for

the humorists is when he is sitting in the office of the secretary of state. The Charities' Committee Report The general provisions embodied in the report made by the charities' committee give every

promise of solving our charity problem. One of its best features is that it guarantees a business like system without disturbing any existing organization or interfering with helpful work by altruistic individuals. This will be arrived at through the employment of a trained worker to serve as a general superintendent of all relief work in the city. Some may object to the system recommended by the committee on the ground that it is

"Organized charity scrimped and iced, In the name of a cautious, statistical" kind of brotherliness, reducing what should be warm-hearted generosity to cold and calculating mechanism. Just the opposite is true. Brotherhood demands that the needy be helped in a way that will really help them and that ALL the needy be helped. In no other way can this be realized than through system and expert knowledge. The securing of a Russell Sage specialist to map out a system adequate to our needs appeals to us as one of the strongest features of the report. That means the placing of the organization of this important work in the hands of those especially fitted for it and the consequent avoidance of such blunders as are sure to be made by green hands. To those who object to having an outsider come in to do this work for us on the ground that we know our own business, it may be said that this is just what those who know their own business are doing. Efficient charity organization is not something that can be left to the tender mercies of the unskilled. The Russell Sage Foundation has twenty million dollars behind it and employs the best talent in the country. Making use of the services of such an organization is not something of which we need be ashamed. It is something of which we may be proud. In making this a fundamental provision for our charity reorganization work, Mr. White and his committee deserve the gratitude of the whole community.

PENAL FARM SITE CHOSEITBY BOARD State Commission - Chooses 1,567 Acre Tract in Putnam County With Expenditure of $57,000.

IDEA DEVELOPS HERE

Purchase Follows Fight of the Richmond Commercial Club to Secure Legislature to Pass Measure.

The movement launched by the Richmond Commercial club several years ago. and which later resulted in a state-wide demand for a penal farm, where certain classes of jail prisoners could be sent, culminated yesterday In the purchase of a site for the farm, In Washington township. Putnam county, consisting of 1,567 acres. The members of the commission appointed by Governor Ralston by an act of the legislature, who selected the site are Dr. S. E. Smith, Richmond, superintendent of the Eastern Insane Hospital; G. A. H. Shideler, Marion; W. H. Hart, Indianapolis, and Willis Hickam, Spencer. The fact that a site for a penal farm has at last been selected, and that it

is such a desirable one, was hailed with joy by the members of the local Commercial club who devoted so much time and effort in putting a bill through the last legislature providing for such an establishment. It is recalled that on the last day of the leg

islative session the bill had not passed the senate, and how at the eleventh hour Governor Ralston, acting on the urgent appeal of a committee of Richmond Commercial club men, succeeded in forcing it through the upper house. Near Indianapolis. The site selected by the commission is only forty-four miles from Indianapolis. Announcement of the purchase was contained in a report submitted to the governor last evening. The governor went to the Claypool hotel, where the commission had been in session for several hours, to receive the report. He expressed his thanks to the commission members for their earnest and laborious efforts in locating the site for the institution. Governor Praises Commission. "The commission has performed a big service for the state," said Governor Ralston. "The site selected undoubtedly represents the best proposition offered the commission. I think that the commission made a good bargain for the state." The commission held more than a score of meetings before it reached a decision. Besides holding meetings the commission members visited twenty different sites. The Putnam county 6ite was agreed upon yesterday after arrangements had been completed for ample railroad facilities by the building of a spur from the Monon and Vandalia railroads. The statute authorized the commission to expend $60,000 for the purchase

SKIN ERUPTIONS

f a site to consist of at least five hundred acres. The oommisslon, however, was able to drive a much better bargain than evidently contemplated, because it bought more than three times as much land aa the minimum amount proposed in the statute, and for a sum of $3,000 smaller than the appropriation. The average price paid for the land was $36.75 an acre. Right of way land to the extent of twelve acres was obtained without cost to the state. The state is to obtain possession of the land by August 1. It probably will be several months after that before the institution will be ready to receive prisoners. The new institution will reduce greatly the number of prisoners sent to county Jails. Prisoners sentenced to Jail for more than thirty days will be removed to the penal farm to serve the term, and it is expected that the earnings from their labor will place the Institution practically on a self-sustaining basis. The land selected for the site is of varied topography, gardening and general agricultural, although it will have to be enriched to Increase its productiveness. Stock raising also may be carried on with success. Mitchell limestone for building, fertilizing and road building purposes underlie the land, and may be obtained with little excavating. Sand and gravel also are found, and there is considerable timber. The water supply ia satisfactory, both as to quantity and quality. There also is clay for brick and tile materials.

Perfection in the education of horses is something that always excites admiration. Every one loves a horse, and every one loves to see their intelligence deevloped. The Howe reat London show, which is to be here Thursday, May 7, has with it the most proficient array of educated horses ever shown in this country. While one class of them are of foreign birth, many of the equines whose intelligence has been developed are American products. In the class of educated horses are twelve stallions direct from the royal stables of Russia. They were bred and educated for the entertainment of royalty, and it was only through the intercession of the American minister that permission was obtained for their performance here. They are considered by good judges of horses to be the finest stallions ever seen in this country, and so evenly matched that it is almost impossible to distinguish one from the other. Their drills, marches, dances, change of pace and maneuvers are the embodiment of grace and precision. The class of high school menage horses are all American stock, and received their education from an American horseman. They are admitted to be the most beautifully educated horses to cakewalking, waltzing, fancy stepping and trick performances touring the world. While this trained horse exhibition is one of the features of the performance, it is but one of many. The wise ones will not forget the date of the coming of the Howe Great London show, as they will not lose this opportunity to see the best.

BY H. J. DODGE, Staff Correspondent of the International News Service. WASHINGTON, April 29. Hundreds of millions of dollars would be lost to the commerce between the United States and Mexico should Uncle Sam and the republic south of the Rio Grande engage in war. The tremendous commercial enterprises in the rich mining and ranching regions of the norther states of Sonora, Chihuahua and Coahuila, and in the oil fields at Tuxpan and Tampico, which are relying largely on American capital for continuance, would be suspended while the war should endure. Upwards of $550,0500,000 in American capital is involved in Mexico, according to A. H. Baldwin, chief of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of the department of commerce. This figure is regarded as conservative. O. P. Austin, for fifteen years chief of the bureau of statistics, today estimated va total of more than a billion dollars of American capital in

vested in Mexico. Billion Dollars Invested. Senator Fall, of New Mexico, who is acknowledged to be one of the foremost experts on Mexican industrial matters in the United States, declares that for the last five years American capital has been going into Mexico at the rate of of one hundred million dollars a year. He placed the total American capital in Mexico at considerably in excesB of one billion dollars. The chief foreign commerce of Mexico, both imports and exports, is carried on with the United States. Statistics recently made public by the Pan-American Union show that more than half of Mexico's imports come from the United States: Last year, $49,212,846 worth of American raw stuffs and manufactures, Including commodities of all characters, entered Mexican ports. . While Mexican Imports last year

amounted to S91.8S1.165. ner total ex

ports reached the enormous figure of $148,944,564. As one of the first war measures taken would be the blockading of all Mexican ports, the knell of this huge internationai business will be sounded the moment a formal declaration of war is made. Americans Heavy Losers. Such is the nature of the native Mexican that one of his first steps toward reprisal for real or fancied injuries is the destruction of the property of his enemy. The damage to railroads, in which American dollars are invested at present, is incalculable. In the north the American money is largely in mines and cattle. In these mining and cattle raising industries, much American money has been invested. Senator Fall, of New Mexico, has invested for himself and other Americans a total of $80,000,000.

Evidence of Impure Blood and a RunDown Condition. When the blood becomes thin, poor, devitalized nature cries out through such external evidence for help, and the safest, surest and most helpful remedy we know is Vinol. This is because it is a combination of the two most world famed tonics the medicinal curative elements of cod liver oil (without the oil) and tonic iron for the blood. Vinol strength

ens the digestive organs, creates a

hearty appetite, purifies and enriches the blood, creates strength. Mrs. Helen Wingate, St. Louis, Mo., says: "I was in very poor health, nervous and run-down, and nothing in the way of medicine did me any good until my druggist recommended Vinol. It built up my health, restored strength and I feel that I owe my lifa to Vinol. I cannot praise it too highly." We say positively there is nothing like Vinol to purify and enrich the blood and build up weak, run-down people. If it should fail in your case we will return your money. Leo H.
