Opportunities m the Army. The nation-wide campaign for preparedness has focused the attention of a good many young men of the country on the opportunities afforded by a militar career. What are the possibilities, they want to know, of promotion? Can an enlisted man, in times of peace, hope to obtain a
commission? And, again, how much foundation is there in fact for what the army, and civilans who know something of army life, call the "West Point tradition?" These are pertinent questions, and they are important. The army," in years past has been charged time and again with being more aristocratic than that of any other democratic nation in the world. Only the other day this charge was renewed. More than likely, in the next few months, it will be heard even oftener than heretofore. Some answer to it, however, is to be found In the Army Register. There, plainly set forth, is the-record-of service. Take the first three reariments of infantry as examples.' Of a total
, of fifty officers in the First infantry, ten came up from the ranks, seventeen were appointed 'from civilian life and twenty-three are West
Point graduates. Out of the fifty officers in the Second infantry, nine were appointed from the army, twenty-two from civilian life and nineteen are West Point graduates. In the Third, there are twenty-two West Pointers, nine appointed
from the army and seventeen from civilian life. Without enumerating the other units in detail it is sufficient to say that in most of them the same proportions hold. In both the cavalry and the artillery, however, the West Point officers are far more numerous. Both branches have appealed more to the West Pointer than the infantry, and both, too, require a little more expertness than can be had without extraordinary effort outside of a great military school. But the facts in all cases, are sufficient to indicate that the ambitious young man who aspires to a
commission may rise to command from the ranks or may attain it even as a civilian. It would be futile, though, to deny that there is something to the "West Point tradition." West Point officers are clannish, and they are by no means as cordial as they might be toward a brother officer who has come into his commission either from the ranks or from civil life. But that should not deter any one aspiring to a military career from seeking a commission. In the three infantry regiments mentioned, the West Pointers are in the minority. Throughout the army generally, less than half of the officers are West Point graduates. With force materially increased, as it is bound to be, there will be an immediate demand for additional officers. West Point cannot supply the demand. It would seem, then, that the army offers splendid opportunity to young men of ability and ambition careers that few other professions offer nowadays. Indianapolis News.
-mr Be Sure and Vote. General antipathy against voting next Tuesday has been reported. It seems that many voters do not care to take part in the nomination of candidates for the election. It has been only a few years ago that the people were clamoring for the privilege of taking an active and direct part in the selection of the nominees. The primary election was devised as a means of offsetting the work of political leaders and bosses in manipulating delegates at the conventions to further the interests of candidates who were friendly to, or part of the machine. The primary does away with this political nuisance. A voter can go to the polls Tuesday and from a list of candidates for the various offices designate his first and second choice selections for these posts. The right of nominating candidates virtually has been placed in the hands of the people. The test of the Indiana primary law will be made Tuesday. If the people stay away from the polls, it will be an easy thing for the professional politicians and the bosses of the machines to see that enough votes are cast for those men who will be cogs in a form of rotten government. Every citizen must go to the polls and help select the candidates. Every citizen who stays away will contribute toward making the primary law a farce and joke. Only a large vote at the primary will vindicate its usefulness. That the present law is not ideal, may be
granted, but the chances are that the next legislature will cut out some of the weak places and make the law a sound piece of legislation.

GARTER BREAKS; VuRSE LOST. HAMMOND, Ind.. March 4. When Mary Domella's garter broke she was passing a crowd of street loafers and she was passing a crowd of street loafers and she was too modest to fix it
there. She 'ducked in at the nearest doorway but discovered she had lost her purse, containing several hundred dollars, from the "First National Bank." It was gone when she went back to look for it. So were the loafers.

Editor of the Palladium: I was amused at the profusely illuminated paid advertisement appearing In yesterday's newspapers In behalf of the candidacy of Patrick J. Lynch for the Republican nomination for congress In the Sixth district. The purport of the advertisement unmistakably was a veiled appeal for the support of the former Progressive voters in Wayne county, upon whom any candidate must necessary depend for success both In the primary and at the ' general election next fall, i I note that Mr. Lynch takes great pride in having stood alone for the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for president In 1904, against the notorious Quay machine In his (Mr. Lynch's) then home state, Pennsylvania. Mr. Lynch said he never betrayed the expressed wishes of his constituents, and in inspiring words tells us how he
risked bodily injury for the sake of
his trust. I Now as the Quay machine Is broken, and Mr. Quay himself beyond the 1 roach of any who might question the truth of the story, let us accept Mr. 'Lynch's statement for It's face value. But let use review another situation 'and suggest another picture. In 1912 the Sixth district, at Connersville, elected two delegates to the Republican national convention, who were supposedly Roosevelt men. The
district also sent a very substantial majority of It's delegates to the state convention, similarly identified, and supposedly Progressive. It was at this time that Mr. Lynch became conspicuous in district politics. He was made a sort of deputy district chairman, and what did he do? How many former Progressives can forget how manfully he stood by no, not with the expressed sentiment of his district, which was for Roosevelt and progressive measures, but with the Old Guard, which looted the state convention and thwarted the purpose of the delegates who were instructed and wanted to vote for Roosevelt delegates. And did Mr. Lynch step into the breach again as he did in Pennsylvania, where he admits he smashed the greatest political machine the country has ever known, single handed and alone? Well I guess
not! He stood behind the pirates who ran off with the rights of the delegates and of the people of Indiana, and was one of the most unflinching of those who were responsible for the wYeck of the Republican party in Indiana and the nation In that year. For Mr. Lynch to describe his loyalty to the people and the cause of Roosevelt, when he knew the people wanted Roosevelt, is about as effective
as some of his other dope, about having "the positive assurance of a big majority in Wayne county this year." It Is to weep, at this display of disrespect for popular intelligence in this community. A FORMER PROGRESSIVE.

For Democratic Nomination as Representative in Congress A committee appointed by the Moulders Union of Richmond, Ind., has found John M. Lontz, candidate for the Democratic nomination as representative in congress, a man who has always been fair to labor and who can be depended upon to champion its cause. Lontz's labor record was investigated (and by a committee of men not in his employ) because he is one of the largest manufacturers of lawnmowers in the United States. The result of the committee's investigation are contained in the following report it caused to be published in the Richmond Labor Herald of March 3,1916: To the Editor of The Labor Herald: "Dear Sir and Brother: We, the undersigned committee of Union Moulders, requested of John M. Lontz candidate for the Democratic nomination for congress in the Sixth district, to meet with us, which he readily arranged to do, February 27. "We had a long talk with Mr. Lontz and we wish, to say, from the statements he made to us, that he is very fair to Organized Labor. "The wages he is paying his employes are far better than the average wages paid men in that class of work, (manufacture of lawnmowers.) ' "Therefore it is up to Organized Labor to be fair to this man who tries to be fair to it. "What labor is working for it whafLontz is working for. "Therefore the committee is very well satisfied with the meeting it had with Lontz in regard to his views on Organized Labor. -Aimi"Yours in Union, WILLIAM DINGLEY." GILBERT HORR, R.E.NIEMAN,

Snafion of Lonfz
In a letter addressed to Horace G. Yergin, attorney at law, New Castle, Ind., former Congressman Henry U. Johnson, one of the most brilliant men who ever represented the sixth district in congress, vigorously indorses the candidacy of John M. Lontz for the Democratic congressional nomination. Mr. Johnson asserts that Mr. Lontz, as the Democratic candidate, can command the support of many Republicans and former Progressives. His letter to Mr. Yergin follows: "My Dear Yergin: Have the Democratic friends in Henry county stopped to think carefully on the Democratic nomination for congress? "Whoever is the Republican nominee, Lontz will poll many more votes against him than Gray can possibly command. ' In fact, Gray has lost strength in Wayne county very perceptibly. John M. Lontz is a popular man in Wayne county. His candidacy has been very heartily received by our people irrespective of party. "I KNOW PERSONALLY OF REPUBLICANS AND PROGRESSIVES WHO WILL VOTE FOR HIM AT THE ELECTION IF HE IS NOMINATED. "Lontz has a fine mind, has been a close student of political and economic questions for years and has unquestioned integrity. He is a very energetic man and will make a logical speech in good language upon the stump. "WE DONT WANT TO LOSE THIS CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT and in Wayne county we can make our strongest fight by all odds with Lontz as our standard bearer. "I cannot go into particulars in this brief letter, but a little inquiry will satisfy anyone that I have made no mistake in stating the relative strength of the two Democratic candidates in Wayne county. "Very truly yours, "HENRY U. JOHNSON."
