Sensations of the moment. Such a

lecling of exaltation was never ex-

l The ship is steadily rising toward

o?er channels of travel in the

The swift motion of the ship, the

hind the rim of the lake. There is .othing in sight but water and sky,

he gulls wheeling about the strange Invader of their domain, the slowly

aoving ships and here and there a

rail of smoke from the stack of a

teamer.

Presently a dull cloud appears low

Chicago is in sight. In a few mintes we leave the hUh level for a

MISUSE OF LEGISLATION. One effect of Mi'lhall's disclosures iay bo to break down tho arbitrary rules that have been sei up acainst ach other by organized, capital and organized labor. Tho public bas carCVly realized tho extent of this ;ntagoi;ism. Tho revelations in the MulhrJl tatcnietits gives a clearer view of the invisible field of battle on which txth apital and laoor nave expended enrgies which inUht have beei; more idvantagcoucly devoted to finding a :on:mon pround of underanding nd peace.

Liber was first to form a tangible organization. The individual workman became convinced by experience that ho could not successfully cape single handed with tjie more powerful individual or corporation employed Their Interests being common workmen made them their common cause. Eventually the labor unions placed tho individual or corporation employed In the same position the individual employe had occupied and it became ' necessary for purposes of defense to join forces with those whose interests were the same. Both capital and labor based their organizations on tho theory that self-preservation is the first law of nature. It became a battle of extermination, a struggle for the survival of the fittest of '.he two antagonistic organizations and the weapon naturaLy resorted to was legislation. The rivalry was for legislative influence. Legislation did the rest. Both of these forces to a greater or less degree have prevented legislation for their individual benefits, and the public, as usual, has been the goat. They have regarded their interests as of first importance and used every influence at their command to shape legislation to their uses. In other words, tiie lepresentatives of the people have been made the agents of untagonlstic interests. The light to be thrown upon means employed to lead and force legislation will give the public a better understanding of the misuses to which their machinery of government has been applied and the result should be the withdrawal of this powerful aid to industrial warfare. If left to themselves to fight with their legitimate weapons capital and labor will be more likely to come to an early and equitable understanding.

And the question occur?: What risht have government agents to pollute a stream from which wild and domestic animals drink, with a thousand barrels of condemned beer?

Wilkes-Darre and other foreign countries having lost interest in the outh Bend Tribune its circulation iisrures have dropped back to the normal condition, a bad second.

Mr. Oren could have had little consideration for the editor of the Tribune to announce himself a candidate for mayor on the republican ticket.

It is interesting to note that one of the Wilson girls is to be married in the white house next autumn. We hope all the Wilson girls will have tho same pleasure.

You'd think from what Jane Addams says that she wouldn't be a candidate for mayor of Chicago, and then again you'd think she would.

The Mulhall story has all the seeming of a proved case. Still, the defendants should have an opportunity to submit testimony.

Somo anti-administration newspaper is losing a fine opportunity to criticise the weather bureau on the Inefficiency of its efforts to bring rain.

Isn't David Lamar the willing little witness. Mr. Lamar must have some old scores to wipe out.

The good name of Abraham Lincoln Is something the civil war veterans will still light for.

Give vent to your patriotism but keep your senses today.

A large pair of shoes awaits somebody at St. Hedwige church.

AS TOLD BY AUNT CKItTIK. Chapter VI. Before I tell you what the terrible thing was I must tell you how the people of tho town talked about the prophet. "I saw the great prophet with my own eyes." said one Turk.

"That man's eyes certainly sparkled '

like fire," said another man. "The prophet had a beard like a foaming sea," said another one. The merchant's son was very' happy to hear all these strange things about himself. "I'll go back to the woods now," he said. "I'll find my Flying Trunk and get it ready for my final trip to the palace." He went back, accordingly. Alas, his trunk was in a little heap of ashes! A spark from one of the firecrackers ho had shot into the air fell into the trunk. The first little breeze that blew fanned ir into a flame and the trunk burned up. The poor merchant's son could never fiy any more. He didn't know what to do or where to go. But he decided that he must leave the country at once. He took one last, lingering look at the palace and started on his Journey. The poor princess, sad at heart and very porrowful, sat in her apartments and waited and waited and waited! But her Turkish prophet never came. Instead he went about the world telling stories to people and tried to forget his princess.

THE PRINCESS WAITS!

(THE MEL TING PO T)

WHY AVE CELEBUATE. O, we are a lusty infant Of one-thirty-seven years, We have had our times of smiling And our times of many tears. Looking back we see our follies And where we had the right; We recall the days of peacefulness And when we had to fight.

DIAUA" OF FATIIEK TIME. In the little village of Dorowo, East Prussia, lives a peasant woman named Hedwig btrawna, who is li$ years old. This in itself is remarkable enough but what makes it little short of a miracle is the fact that her principal diet for years has consisted of pork and salted cucumbers, and her favorito drink is undiluted brandy. Hedwig, has never heard of the Kaiser, the great admirer mainly because he would allow his soldiers to steal chickens only. Every morning she is, up at half past five, and inter and summer goes to mass. Then she works in the fields. Sho has never been more than three or four miles out of her village, and declares

that she would like to live for another hundred years. Hedwig is in a fair way to outdo Peter Cummin who was buried- in Scotland in 17?. having lived 120 years. U is related of him that, coming to tho house of a certain Mr. Brown, he looked round him, and expressed wonder at the great changes that had taken place since he was there last. He was asued how long that was ago, when on a comparison of circumstances tne family found It was just K'O years. AVI I AT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? In an Ohio town, where the "good" people get most of their amusement by lighting the "bad," there was a mayor whom he "good" people suspected was "bad." So this was how they put him to the test:

They hired an alluring woman and got her to make friends with his honor. A skilful woman, out to ensnare a man, especially if she be pretty and dimply and apt In the affectations of a beauty In distress, K-werally. so history tells us. makes se 'we headway. It was mi in this case. The woman tempted ami the man bit like the great, gawky gudgeon that a man Is. Nothing wilfully wrong, understand. No deliberate plotting of perfidy on his part. Just a foolish yielding to a lure as old as creation. And when the trap was ready to be sprung, Io, there came detectives, policemen and a photographer; the "good" people chortled with glee and a flock of them hit J to the governor to sc if they could get the "bad" mayor removed. Wonderful reforming. Isn't It?

And the Tribune had so "earnestly hoped the republicans wouldn't have a eandidate for mayor. Isr.;t that ingratitude? Just think wbAt the Tribune has done for (to)t.o republican party.

This is a bad time of year to discover that the equipment of an ice company is insufficient. People not

BY Fit ED C. KELLY. Vico Pr$s. Marshall has a theory that the average man, when you look him right in the eye, and pin him down to a given proposition, will tell approximately the truth. A vice president has comparatively little to do, and ordinarily it doesn't matter whether a man tells him the truth or not; still, once in a while it is desirable to know, and Marshall has a ssytem that he perfected when he was governor of Indiana. In the first place, to get tho whole truth out of a meit, it is best to be closeted with him alone. At first thought on? might have an idea that a man would be more likely to shrink from telling a lio when there are others about to hear him, but that is not the way it works out. A man who lies at all thinks it smart and cute to tell liees, and he will do so all tho more likely when he has a good audience, especially if most of the audience is in sympathy with him. It is when he is alone with the man he is trying to fool, and has a thing put 'up to him, on his honor, that the off-hand liar is apt to quail. For example, when Marshall was governor, a committee of ten camo to the executive office one day to urge the appointment of a certain ponderously-girthed politician to an important place. Marshall had supposed that of all the applicants for the place none was quite so Incompetent as this one that the delegation was recommending with such great enthusiasm and plausibility. He asked all manner of questions, first of one member of the delegation and then of another, but he could get no, one to admit that there was the slightest fiaw in the candidate's character or entitlements. Then Marshal called one of the delegation aside, took him into his

private office, and told him he wished to have a chat. Looking the visitor straight In the eye, the governor asked: "Tell me, now. man to man, if you

were governor would you appoint him?" "Wel-1," faltered the man. "of course oh-h, I think so that is, I might. Marshall called the others in one at a time, and each faltered, and finally told the truth when the thing was put up to them in that form. The two senators from New Hampshire show promise of disagreeing about things often enough to add a touch of light comedy to senatorial debates. As a rule, senators from the same state try to be in accord on most of the propositions that come up or if they are not in accord they aim not to show it. Until the death of Sen. Heyhurn. the two senators from Idaho were a striking exception to this rule. They never agreed on anything or on any part or phase of anything. If Sen. Borah was for a proposition, his colleague was certain not only to oppose it, but to do so openly, in full view of the audience and in a loud voice. Each seemed to serve as a foil for the other, like Weber and

Field used to be. One recalls this sample dialogue that took place on the senate floor between Borah and Heyburn: Heyburn: I have never been partial to caucuses, and I should like to eliminate them. Borah: I am glad the senator is coming to disclose that much progress. Heyburn: I am not coming. I have always been there. Borah: I am sure that tf my colleague was ever there, he Is there still. Heyburn: The right of today is the right of all times. The right does not chance with every season. Borah: That is true, but I would rather have my face to the dawn than always to the sunset. Heyburn: That is a very pretty sentiment, but a man who never looked at a sunset has missed a whole lot. In my Judrment. Borah: I "nave seen the sun set more often than I have seen it rise. But my remarks about the caucus were not personal. I know my colleague would not have anything to do with so corrupting an Influence in politics as the ordinary caucus. Heyburn: Oh. yes. I would. Borah: I was really inclined to believe if I stated the opposite of It my colleague would take the opposite side. And so on.

The mother country tried in vain I To take us 'cross her knee, j And lay upon our system j Her hand correctively.

We kicked and squirmed and wiggled And showed such bravery She was glad to quit the struggre And let us have our way. Since then we've fought among ourselves j And turned the Spaniards back; Old Mexico was given hers With many a sounding thwack. AVhile England learned at New Orleans She had got in wrong again, And retired from the battle AVith a look that mirrored pain. AVe've grown so strong in later years That no one talks of fight. Except the busy jingoes who In talcs of war delight; AVe hold the world at good arm's length. And it's a stiff one, too; AA'e never start a bluff we can't Quite surely carry through. Little things that come along, Like lobbies, trusts and such. AVe think them merely bagatelles And not to count for much. The people now are on the job At Prexy AVilson's back, And when a grafter shows his head He gets a hearty crack. HURRAH! Three separate and distinct times, and a tiger. THIS is the day we celebrate. The sun never sets on it. The sun wouldn't dare to. The d.y is too hot. AA'E may be insane, but if so we are patriotically demented. Of what consequence are a few thousand legs

and arms and lives, more or less, when we think of our country, the greatest little old country the sun ever shone upon. STAND back and let the eagle scream. His wings spread from the. Atlantic to the Philippine;?, his tail feathers cover the Panama canal and he holds the north polo in his beak. AND when he screams let the rest of the menagerie keep silent. AA'HOOP! Here comes the flag, the banner of the free (and some of the easy). "Wherever floats that standard sheet, AVhere breathes the foe but falls before us; With freedom's soil beneath our feet,

And freedom's banner streaming o'er us." O. WE'RE there with the gush, and we're there with the goods. NO foe has yet made us take to the woods. AND you wouldn't think it to see us, would you? The mildest mannered and sweetest dispositiDned pups that ever played tag or chawed an ear. AA'ATCII us grow? AVE can take a raw recruit from

the Riviere and have him hollering .

for Pres. Wilson and the union in ten minutes. SOMETHING contagious about American citizenship. It is the surest bug to propagate that ever crawled into a bean. AND we're onlj' 137 years old. Think of that when you make your comparisons. THINK how long it has taken a lot of nations to play second fiddle to us. AND then reflect that to be an American citizen is the noblest work of the naturalization laws! C. N. F.

give promise of having more to say later on. They disagree by temperament, training and tradition. In his initial speech in the senate. Mollis hurled a few bits of innuendo at his associate and Oalllnger made a few cracks in return, while referring to

him as "my esteemed colleague". AVhenever a senator rings in too much of that 'my esteemed colleagne" thing it is time for the estimable colleague to look out. Sen. O'Oorman says he has had one big surprise since coming to the senate. It is a fact that he likes being a senator better than being a judge.

From early youth he yearned to be a judge, and, having become one, he was half loath to leave the job. Now he finds the senatorial proposition just about twice as much fun as sitting and .blinking from a judicial bench. (Copyright. 1313, bv Fred C. Kelly. All rights reserved.)

edpath Chautauquas From Towns Where These Chautauquas Were Held Last Year.

The Huntington Ind., Herald said: "General concensus in Huntington is that the Chautauqua his been of great benefit both educationally, and as a"n entertainment" The Miles, Mich., Daily Sun says: "It requires no words of our to add to the volume of praise for the great Chautauqua seven-day course. Its value to the community as an educational and moral force cannot be measured in dollars and cents." The Crawfordsville, Ind., Journal: "A canvass was made of the business portion of the city today, in which a large number of people competent to judge were asked their opinion of the Chautauqua. Without exception, those interviewed said it was great." The Maysville, Ky., Daily Independent: "The people of Maysville who have had a touch of the Chautauqua this year have surely enjoyed it Some of the lecturers alone were worth the price of a season ticket" The Vincennes, Ind., Commercial: "This year's program has been wonderful." The Kendallville, Ind., News-Sun: "Everyone is looking forward to next summer's week of pleas-

ure.

The Goshen, Ind., News-Times: "The Chautauqua is proving a great success and promises to become a permanent institution in Goshen. It furnishes good wholesome entertainment and is a great educational and uplifting influence in the community."
