SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, OCTOBER 4, 1913

A PROMISE FULFILLED. It is finished. The promise made by the democratic party and its leaders last summer end fall has been carried out in letter and spirit. Moving slowly, carefully, deliberately, surely, the big democratic organization went steadily on from parliamentary step to parliamentary step, taking r.o undue advantage, refusing to allow any one needlessly to delay its steady progress. The three final stages, the acceptance by house and senate of the conference committee's report, and the signature of the bill by Pres. Wilson were taken with no more of excitement or stir than any previous step probably less. For the fight was not won yesterday nor last night nor when the bill passed the senate. There wan none of the color or martial spirit of a hi? battle, at the finish. That light had climaxed last fall. It was a fight that had been waged since the day the country realized some four years ago that the republican organization and the republican president had not made their promises- of tariff revision in good faith, and that they had flatly repudiated their campaign pledges. The battle for a lower tariff began when the country realized that the Payne-Aldrieh group in congress with the acquiescence of Pres. Taft, had "double crossed" them. The retiring to private life of a long list of stand pat republican congressmen and a few stand pat senators after the passage of that tariff bill was the Index to the country's demand for real tariff revision. The victory of Woodrow Wilson and hosts of democratic candidates for congress last fall on their promise to give a real revision was the final expression of the people's wishes. There remained only the question of whether the triumphant democrats would be true to their promises. And that question was soon answered. fief using to listen to crafty counsels of delay, Pres. Wilson and the leaders of house and senate set to work. The president called an extraordinary session of congress and the big work of writing the tariff in conformance with the expectations of the people and the promises of the party began. Now that promise has now been carried out. There was nothing hasty about the revision. The industries affected, seeing froni the outset the determination of the party and of its leaders, have had a year to prepare for the change in schedules. The revision has not been hasty. It lias not be en haphazard. H has been a steady, common sense, sober minded revision. The men in charge refused to be dictated to, bullied, hurried cr headed off. The task has been well done.

YIIAB. The responsibility for the scarcity of livestock and the high price of meat isUiid on the calf. After refuting the charge that packers do not pay a profit bearing price for cattle and ascertaining from government statistics that exportation ef livestock has practically ceased we have been driven forth to find a valid reason and after some rummaging around we have caught the calf with the goods. The calf is the nucleus of the beef critter. It is in embryo the embodiment of the meat upon "which the nation must be fed to sustain its strength and satisfy its carnivorous appetite. The calf is ene of the unavoidable products of the farm on which the occupants have a taste for milk, cream, butter and smearcase. It would be absurd, unprecedented and inconceivable for a farmer to patronize the milkman or buy his butter at the grocery. Hence the calf. As milk is one of the :hief products of the cow the calf is ene of the by-products, like the butter, the cheese, the ice cream anil the milk shake. The farmer does not keep the cow for the purpose of raising calves. That is merely an indispensable to fresh milk and the thick slabs of cream the cit folks covet but cannot have. Though Indispensable us an incident the calf is not so as a chattel and the farmer waits with ill concealed impatience for the time when it is old enough to market. After t calf is marketed its possibilities as an embryo beef critter vanish. It becomes veal. This ituline product i?f as we might ray, neither something nor nothing. It is something betwixt and between food and starvation. It is neither digestible nor cry nutritious. Kvidently the original plan did not contemplate that veal would ever be used as food by human beings, but man is a Kpeculative and adventurous creature, and fortunately so in many respects. So he tecan to eat veal. To make It go the kss than half formed meat had to be disguised in various ways, but so successfully was this accomplished that the demand has steadily Increased. The calf is usurping the beef critter In market but still the people are crying for meat. They eat the veal, but it neither satisfies nor sustains. They want something that will stick closer to the-ir ribs. They want the Ftuff that gives them and their chil dren, bonf. sinew and muscle. Veal merely fills the stomach and lonks well em a bill of fare. It lacks the staying qualities of the red juice expressed from a thick porterhouse or tenderloin or fr:n a redolent rib i oast. So who shall we name as accessory to the calf in this crowning crime of the c-ntury, the farmer, who markets his calves as the easb-st way of avoiding the trouble of developing them lr;to re-produi ers and beef critters, or the cemsumcr, who has created the arterial d mand for veal. One of th two must shoulder the responsibility or let them share ;:. We are not particular so the slaughter of the inr.oeenti the lrnocent cause of our trouble cc ascs. j:u:yi:nth hour rffoiim. Our ilaiu street contemporary has

come to the conclusion that outh Bend is not really such a bad place after all; that vice conditions are probably not worse than in other cities of its size. This profound utterance comes after years of defamation by the Tribune, beginning when the last republican administration went out of "office. But the people of South Bend knew better all the time. With the keenest regret the people of South Bend have seen the city heralded to the world as a den of iniquity when every one who has visited other cities knew that vice conditions in South Bend is far less odious than in the majority of cities. Every visitor to the city who is familiar with other places of like character comments favorably upon conditions in South Bend. During all these years that South Bend has labored to become "worldfamed" in a creditable sense the Tribune has done its best to make the city

ill-famed throughout the state and country. . J Nor were its criticisms made with, a view toward nelplulness. Conditions that are unavoidable in a city like South Bend have been overdrawn and exaggerated for a supposed political effect. Not content with slandering the fair name of the city, the Tribune from time to time prints the editcrial comment of the state (based solely upon its own slanders) as if it enjoyed the 111 effects of its own eiucstionable conduct. And now in the middle of a campaign in which Mr. Miller and the other ex-presidents of the Chamber of Cemmerce would seize control of the city, the Tribune "allows" the old town is really a good place to live in. To curry temporary favor the poor old Trib. is compelled to belie its assertions of a decade. But even fer the few weeks preceding election it is worth something for the Tribune to desist defaming the city that supports it.

Panama is in the seismic zone and subject to disturbances at varying intervals. It is no fancied risk, as the experience of the past forty-eight hours shows. The isthmus was shaken from coast to coast in a manner that threatened damage to the canal. Fortunately neither the locks nor the dams were injured. They are constructed so substantially that they will stand a great deal and it will require an extraordinary upheaval to disturb them. This is ene danger against which the canal cannot be so securely fortified that fear of destruction or damage will be reduced to the minimum. The source of volcanic power is so deepstated it cannot be reached and controlled with the devices of human ingenuity and must always be regarded as a menace sufficiently serious to insure the utmost precaution on the part of the- engineers. otherwise no apprehension need be felt as to the safety of the canal. It will be extensively fortified and adequately garrisoned, but a more certain defense is tjijviiicli will be found in

The new tariff bill cannot be said to have passed congress without being well digested. It will need no explanation to the public. It is the devious ways of legislation that keep the public guessing when a bill has become a law. The exposition is over but the influence of it and the experience will keep right on working.

We will hear a great deal from the Indianapolis News about the "influence of Tom Taggart and Crawford Fairbanks" in municipal elections in Indiana. To be sure, the News had "tagged' Gov. Sam Balston as a "Taggart-Fairbanks tool." and all that sort of thing. But the people of Indiana did not take it at all seriously. It is finding that "Taggart machine men" are being nominated in many Hoosler cities, as in Shelbyville, for instance, who would not know Tom Taggart or a "machine" if they met them both in the middle of the big road. The Indianapolis News has undertaken the herculean job of putting the Democratic party in Indiana "in bad." Kokomo Dispatch.

Warren threw down his paper and strode into the nursery. Helen was rockjng the baby in a vain endeavor to quiet it. It was the nurse's afternoon off and the baby had been even more fretful than usual. For almost an hour now it had been crying incessantly. "Lay it down and leave it there!" demanded Warren. "Give it to understand when it cries like that you'll not nurhse it. Put it down and come out!" "Oh, it would cry itself sick!" "Well, what is it doing now?" Hush-s-s! Baby, baby! There, there, don't cry any more!" Differences of Opinion. But the baby only screamed the louder. "Don't stand so near, Warren .1 think you make it more nervous. It's not used to anyone standing over it like that." "Well, it will have to get used to it. It's high time it was learning a few things you're spoiling it to death. I.ay it down as I say. Come out and leave it alone. It will soon stop crying then!" "Oh, no, no, it's too little. It's too young to trv to train it like that. Wait till it's older." "If it's not too young to scream for an hour through sheer temper, it's not too young to learn to stop. Now lay it down and come out!" "No, no, I can't. It would Ncry itself into a spasm!" Hubby's Way. "Look here, Helen, you've humored that child long enough. You've tried your way ever since it was born and it cries incessantly. Now you are going to try mine. Do as I tell you. Lay it down and come out." "Oh, don't don't Warren, please go away. Don't you see your being here is just exciting it?" But Warren had stepped forward, and in spite of her protesting cry hail taken the baby from her and laid it in the crib. Then very firmly he led her from the nursery and closed the door. Helen was excitedly trying to freo her arm from his clasp to tiy back into the nursery. "Warren. Warren, you won't leave it alone like that! It's too little, it's too little! Oh, you are cruel, you are " "No, It Is you who are cruel nursing and rocking it every time it cries, spoiling It so it will be harder and harder to break. No, this time let me manage it." Persistence. "But I can't. Oh, I can't let it cry like that alone!" "You must. Go into the front room where you can't hear it. Lie down on the couch in there. You look tired to death. I will stay here. If it cries too long I will come and tell you. Now, do as I say Helen. It will be much better for the baby in the end." He almost pushed her into the front room and closed the door. Then he began walking grimly up and down the sitting room, which adjoined the nursery. The baby was still screaming. Kive ten minutes passed. . Helen time to the door. "Warren, i can't stand it. You must let me go to It." She was crying herself now. She tried to force her way past him to tho nursery. But resolutely, al-

I've began this thing anel I'm going to see it through." "You're going to kill my babyl" excitedly. "Xo, I'm doing it a great kindness, and you must not interfere." Again he closed the door upon her. And there was something in his voice that made her fear to open it again. Once more he walked up and down the room. Still screams came from the nursery angry, convulsive screams. The baby needed spanking. Nothing else could stop it, he told himself, grimly. That crying was temper, just temper. And the sooner it was conejuered the better. He threw open the nursery door and strode determinedly to the crib. He. was fully resolved to slap it, his mind held no ether thought. And then as he bent over it he hesitated. He felt curiously baffled, Tlu Span kin?:. Where- was he going to strike it? There didn't seem to be any place. It's little red clenched hsts were held up rigidly and it's convulsed little face were all that were visible. His determination to spank it was plainly weakening. How could he, when there seemed no place? And yet the baby was still screaming. And that was temper, only temper, he repeated to himself to strengthen his purpose. Gathering his courage, he tapped sharply at one of the hsts with his forefinger. The babv stared at him in surprise. For the moment it was too astonished to cry. And then, with a gurgle, it raucht the linger with a weak- little clutch from which, somehow, he couldn't draw away. He ?at down on a chair bv the crib. The Solution. The baby still held to his finger. It had stopped crying and was gurgling softlv. Its face was all wet with tears. With his other hand he got out his handkerchief and awkwardly wiped them off. That soft little clutch on his finger somehow, it thrilled him as nothing ever had before. A half-hour later the nursery door opened noiseleslv. and Helen stood on the threshold. Hut. as th door was behind him. he did not pc her. What she saw was a sleeping baby with its little hands holding tight on to Warren's hnger while he sat there patiently by the crib, fearing to move. le he awaken it. For a moment she watched them. And then," very gently, she closed the door and stole softly away.
