The cotiiinr of Thomas buncan. chairman of tlm stat- p:i!dic service commission, to Mishawaka Tuesvlay niht. to address th- oters on the important of the commission and; other features of the campaign, should j be in itself an invitation to ewry cit-iz-n of both South Hend and Mishawaka, to turn out and hear him re-ardle;-s of party. The public service commission is a comparatively new thiim. It is the) modern way of regulating public utilities. Wisconsin, Massachusetts , and New York were the pioneers, with the emphasis on Wisconsin, and Sen. Robert M. La Follette as the pathfinder. We do a sreat deal ol' talking here about lower g;s rates; lower rates of electric service; more street car tickets for a quarter, and there is a movement or. to ha;c the conduct of our city water plant readjusted. These things if ever accomplished, have to be by order of the state public serice riimmiiiMi. and for that reason Mr. Duncan should have an exceptional hearing. The excellent work done by the r islature of 111:; in creatine the public service commission is generally recognized and approved by the peolib" of Indiana reg;i r Ib-s of anv par-' ty affiliations. The work of the five ir.en who h ie been entrusted with the task of carrying out the provis- ! ions of this law has s.-red not only to prove the excellence of the law it--elf, but al.-o has demonstrated the , wisdnni of lo. Ralston in the sel ecTloll of all the members. .V! th.' time the bill was pendin-r. white it wa-; yet iti committee anil he:'ore the amount of the appropriation ur decided upon, ii u.is eM una ted j '. the public comment that it would require about 5 ' :".

It will be of real public service to make his acquaintance, and through him an acquaintance with the work of the commission, at least to the extent of hearing him talk. Republicans and progressixes hae tried to make liht of his beinjr out campaigning;. They insist that he should be on the job attending to l'"iness. To our mind he is attending j to business, and the business ot the ommission, in the very best sort of way. This republican-progressive faultfinding with his taking to the stump is mere political twaddle, and if there is any other excuse for it, it is because Mr. Duncan is making such a splendid showing for the democratic i cause. It is well known that the utilities affiliated with the republican party would gladly have the public, utility law repealed, or at least, that it be j deprived of its teeth. In view of! this it is easy enough to understand j why the republicans should be so j rancorous against any official expla nation or defense of the commission's work. Hear Duncan and let him tell you his story. Hear the truth. Ill l.b MOOSi: THICK HALIU:i. "Lest we forget," and allow our re- j publican contemporary the first crack following its frequent example or1 mimieing the policy of the Indian-I apolis News, we desire to say in j passing that the reason the democrats! yave way to the progressives, allowing" them the key to the city the night of j net. L'fJth, isn't because of any con-j spiracy between the two parties. j It will be recalled that when KxSVn. Heveridge gave up Tomlinson hall to William Jennimra Bryan for his! Indianapolis speech, the Indianapolis' News flashed It broadcast, consider-i ably to the delight of the scissors edi- j tors of the republican press over the j state, that it was conclusive evidence that the two parties were working arm in arm to defeat the republicans. . . . . t t lie leaders being really as a single j man. . i It' something of the sort isn't j sprung locally as explaining the reason fur Sen. Shlvely and Congressman Rarnhart giving way to Ueveridge, it will be a miracle, even In these latter da s. Yet a glance at the truth of both I sit tuitions will be nil the explanation ' necessary to a man with a thimbleful ! of Brains. Beverldge gave way to J Bryan In Indianapolis because the progressives knew that with the great commoner in town, and making a speech, Mr. Beveridge would have to talk to empty seats even though the Nebraska n be forced to talk from i an automobile in the middle of the street. They didn't care for the hu- j miliation of such a spectacle. On the other hand the local pro- ; gressives Justly conscious of Mr. Rev- I eridc . 's popularity here, and Jit the j same time fearful of allowing many of their number an opportunity to hear Senator hively and Congress- i mar. Rarnhart, deliberately contrived to split the crowd on the night of 1 ct. I'th. and at least keep their own ' number from hearing the Wilson ad- ' ministration discussed so nearly from headquarters. T spoil Shively's meeting in his own town, much as possible, was the designed purpose. The policy of the democrats is not j to keep people from listening to the ' wails of the opposition if they want' to listen. Cdr. Beveridge is entitled to a hearing, but Mr. Shlvely also wants to be heard, and h wants to be heard j much as possible by the same people j who hear his opponents, anil especial- j lv this concededly most formidable j of his opponents. , It is a mere matter of political sa- I gacity with the democrats therefore, : that has led them to give way. despite j the fact that they were the first to i pick the tlate, when it was found ' that neither Mr. Beveridge in his ego- j tism, nor the progressives in their un- 1
i Mm promising iMt'thnd. would ronnt to any othr kind ofa chimse. That is all there is to it. anl Son. Shivt-ly and ('unercssiiinn Uarnhart nil! N h"r )r-t. :th. instead f Oct.

th-m an opportunity to review the I there would be a whole lot of us rtin-oiit-pouriiu's of the Indianapolis man ning around in Kunnynacks. and such. b-i'or a lot of p'tpie who will bo
gbol to hear both, and especially the j lattr. I i So republicans, progressives, and dt'iiii'cnits all; this is your answer, in case the conspiracy s,m should happen to bo sprung. All the conspiracy tht exists between thf democrats and progressives Is that boili parties are progressive, us distinguished from the republicans who are reactionary "stand-patters." a conspiracy which, due to the good work that the democrats are doinr in the state and nation, is giving the prnressiYe leaders a lot of worry, realizing a-H they do that their followers are being sswallowed by democracy, nut as a. mass, but individually, and accounting for the effort to discount Mr. cshlvely's meeting ly instituting a competitive encasement. And these individual progressives who are conspiring to join the democratic party are seemingly giving the republicans a lot of worry also. Instead of "turning back" the progressives are "comin on" over to the democriatic party. UAlSi: MOKH CATTLE When the price of any commodity increases the reason may sometimes be traced to speculative operations, the manipulations of hoards of trado or the cornering of the visible supply through the use of cold storage, hut usually it is attributable to other causes. Chief among these is the inadequacy of supply. Just now.jve are told that shoes are going to cost us more. The current statement is that prices will rise about the first of February. This advance will not be due to speculation of any kind. A more tangible reason can be found. It will be due to the scarcity of hides. Less cattle than formerly are being slaughtered owing to the decreased demand for beef, and there are less cattle to slaughter because less cattle are being raised in the United States. To maintain the present supply of ...eat and leather more cattle and hides are being imported from South America and other foreign countries. Our importations of leather are also increasing. This season one agent of an English leather house sold half a million dollars' worth of his products in this country in a few weeks and at quite an advance in price on what he expected to receive. He found the leather market so eager that purchasers really became competitors and enabled him to advance his prices. The difference between what this leather agent expected to receive and what he actually did receive for his goods is one of the items that represents the prospective Increased cost of shoes to the consumer. The United States is a great producing country, but it is also an enormous consumer, and Is on the way to become what is known as a consuming country, that is one which consumes more than it produces. This is practically true of the cattle industry. The cutting up of the great southwest grazing country into farms has seriously reduced its cattle producing power, and the average farmer is paying less attention to the breeding of cattle than he used to. The results are before us. The price of meat has become almost prohibitive for people of small means and the cost of shoes, harness and other leather goods is steadily advancing. It might he different if we had a substitute for leather, hut we have none. Thei . Is no substitute for leather that the American would care to use. AVe would not if we could wear paper or straw sandals or shoes, nor would we care to go about in wooden clumps or cloth gaiters. We want leather shoes, but in order to have them at reasonable cost thei farmers of the country must raise more cattle. Tit UK AM) TKIUIlHLi;. "To be outshone by one's clothes is the most fatal thing that can come to one who wishes to be called beautiful," says one of the real fashion experts. What's the use in firing terrific truths like this at a fellow? What's really wanted by a fellow who hungers for applause of his beauty is somo recipe, or map for telling Just when his clothes outshine him, or he outshines his clothes. There are some men whose beauty cannot be outshone by the most gorgeous raiment that fashion can concoct. There are many others who would have to appear in the festive ballroom in rubber boots, blue overalls and hickory phlrt, in order not to be outshone by their clothes. How's a fellow going to strike that nice medium line in uress unuer i which his clothes don't appear to j make his beauty, or his beauty to
make his clothes? Oh yes, we've seen J appreciated by the thousands of peoit tried, thousands of times, without pie who thronged the open yesterday.
one instance of success in the whole lot. We've seen thousands of fellows, naturally beautiful, glide into ball rooms in immaculate white ve?t. gummed-on pantaloons and 50-lnch II - l . i . swaiiow-iane.i coats, ana try to pr-. tend that they're used to 'em, so's I not to be outshone by their clothes, j We've seen thousands squat down tipon bnnquet table chairs, pull at i their pant legs so's not to destroy the j creases, just as w irey commanaec, their hirchbark shirt fronts! and put up against the table's edge as if it was their style at every meal. But In every last instance their clothes outshone them, and the circumambient atmosphere was one of obvious mis-
fry, transplendent Idiocy, and rank hypocrisy. And th thins? is unavoidable, if not. indeed, justifiable! If we men
erf to conscientiously take to wear- J ing clothes that didn't outshine us. ! MAKK Ill'SINKSS S El A S I'STA I IN(i. Wo have been too much in the habit in the past of rushing to lepris- j latum for relief from acute business situations Instead of letting nature take its course with good nursing we j have been prone to apply stimulants i without much regard to the ultimate; consequences. Here is this cotton situation. Cut off from its Kuropean market by the war the south ha most of if. 1 f 1 4 crop left on its hands. Following the usual custom congress was appealed to for legislative relief. The war tax measure was the vehicle to carry through a provision that the government should purchase five million bales, or advance the money on them and give the cotton planters three years in which to redeem it or pay hack the money to the government. That was an expeditious way cf removing the condition under which the south labors, but it is not a natural or healthful means of relief. In the end it will be better for the south and for the whole country if less heroic measures are taken. The senate has wisely refused to incorporate the cotton amendment in the war tax bill, and in this action has met the wishes of Pres't Wilson. It will be much better to let business take care of itself, help itself out of the difficulty in which the war has placed it. The effect of mutual helpfulness thus inculcated and stimulated will be salutary. Business will find that it can take care of itself, that it is not necessary to run to congress every time a new situation arises. The refusal of the senate to incorporate in the war tax bill a provision for the purchase' of 5,000,300 bales of cotton will meet with popular approval. In the first place the amendment was incongruous in a war revenue bill, and in the second place unnecessary. The country will take care of the cotton. Complying with law, John D. sTpreckels has made oath that he has been "doing business under a fictitious name" running the San Francisco Call. If John can justly call running the Frisco Call "doing business," he's guilty, all right. If the appeals of the British press are an indication the English people are not fully awake to the; seriousness of the situation In which they are involved. It seems impossible that a foreign nation should invade England, but it is by no means so. Fritz Kreisier has been shot in both arms, killed, has been in a fight, has quit the Austrian army rather conflicting reports but so long as somebody doesn't steal his fiddle, we're going right on hoarding up the dollar for his next concert. The work of educating the people to take the street cars on the near side is in progress with some show of success, but when it comes to educating the public you will have observed that no speed records are broken. Globe Trotter Dwight Price, of NewYork has got back home. Mexican bandits stripped him of his clothes. Chinese robbers stripped him of his jewelry. Real estate agents also carefully looked him over. Those scientific hygienlsts in convention at Philadelphia discussed eugenic kisses exchanged through protecting paper shields. S'all right! If you can't find a paper shield, take along a pine board. California wine growers are shrieking in holy horror over the proposition to put part of the war tax on wines. You'd almost think that the consumer wasn't going to pay the tax. The opening of the political campaign will be something of a counter irritant for the war on the other side. Once in awhile a political campaign is little less. Now that the Germans have reached the coast they will not be satisfied until they adventure beyond seas, and England may well feel alarmed. We heartily endorse the "Wear a cotton frock" movement. It's so monotonous to keep on paying bills for just silks, satins and velvets' All the battles alons the French border have been described as raging so persistently that the word is losing some of its significance. Sen. Sherman of Illinois is said to have made eighteen speeches In one day. Terhaps they mean he made one speech eighteen times.

It is curious that such remarkable developments as have recently been chronicled toward the centralizing of ' power in the federal government and j in the hands of the executive should ! occur under a democratic adminis- j tration. j One of the latest manifestations of this tendency is seen in the efforts to induce the government to protect the cotton planters from the effects of the low prices of the staple caused by a hi? yield of the staple coincident with the lessened foreign demand caused by the European war. Senators and representatives from the south formerly sturdy ciampions of state sovereignty and jealous of interference from the central government are now vying with one another in making demands for federal intervention and help to maintain the prices of cotton and tobicco. Nearly all the bills introduced suggest the lending of hundreds of millions to planters by the federal government. Where is the latter to get the money? The authors of these measures propose that it shall he raised by the sale of bonds or the printing of greenbacks. It is likely, however, that most of the "statesmen" proposing these absurd projects are aware of their in herent inpossihility and introduce I them merely as bids for "the farmer! vote in their several constituencies. New York Herald. PROGKKSSIVK PKALSE OF TIIK PIUOSIDKNT. In his speech in Kansas City, Kan., opening the state campaign for the progressives, Henry J. Allen declared for the new rule in county and state affairs, defended Pres't Wilson's administration in Mexican and other policies, and declared that the newspirit .n politics called for the elimination of politics from lDcal and state affairs. "The only argument that is made for the amalgamation of the progressive and republican parties is that united 'we can whip the democrats'. That has been the aim of all cur political activities as far back as I can remember. That is the reason we have so much slow progress In the development of government. Has it occurred to you that possibly the democrats do not deserve to be whipped? If Woodrow Wilson carries out his program and succeeds in doing what everyone concedes that he is trying to do, possibly the American people will demand his reelection and why shouldn't they? That is the new idea, the new spirit in politics. "If he fails it will be because his party is merely the democratic party and is unable to catch the new spirit. Then his party should be defeated, just as the republican party was defeated. 'Let us get the vision of the government rather than the party. "The people must first get possession of the government and then administer it for the people who live under it and who pay the costs of the administration. We can neither reduce taxes nor promote the public welfare upon a platform of 'whipping the democrats'." Kansas City Star (Prog.) TWENTY YEARS AGO Reminders From the Columns of The Dally Times.
