Mci i ss i'ui; tin: sri: i alist. Amonir ;i boatload of immigrants a few years a'u, says the Outlook, was a poor youn;; man who settled in KanCity jitid set up a small peanut stand n"ar the entrance to the put lie library. i-'eillni; peanuts was his vocation; his ,'ivfif atioii, or hubby, was the sU'.dy of language:-!, with which he put in his spare time. :Um in-c in his stand books borrowed lrom the library. Lots of people thought him a reat Joke- and there was many a laugh at him. Hut the peanut seller went on sttidjim: languages. A day pine when the university of Missouri, needing an additional in structor in languages, asked the Kansas City librarian if he knew a good man for the place. "A man I can honestly recommend is here," replied the librarian. An official of the university came, interviewed the peanut seller and engaged him. Today that teacher of language.; is one of the shining lights of Harvard university, lie knows languages. Cyrus Field devoted 1 years to seemingly hopeless drudgery amid scoffs of men, ami crossed the Atlantic ocean 50 times, before he laid the Atlantic cable. Uut he laid it. He knew cables. When .Maj. William McKinley entered congress Prca't Hayes advised him to become a specialist on the tariff question. McKinley made a hobby of the tariff, became the foremost authority on the subject, and tiic McKinley tariff bill made him president of the Cnited states. When (Jeor-e Westinghouse first went to Vanderbilt with his air brake the railroad magnate told him he "had no time to talk to fools." But Westinghouse had, and he kept after Vanderbilt until the air brake was adopted. The most successful worker is he who singles out from the vast number of possible employments some tpecialty and sticks to it. Most men can do several things passably well. Very few can do cue tliinjr surpassingly well. The man who knows one Kood thing thoroughly knows enough; he is a master among men. The specialist does not have to look for a job. Jobs are looking for him. anotiilk n.i imr.AK ruo.n tiii: liqiok .Mi:.. The lienor men of Indiana are making t mistake if they are in any way back of the Krau bill introduced in the state senate not that the bill without merit either. It is merely bad policy fur the liquor men themselves for them to keep stirring up legislation on the liquor question. The bill provides that whosoever institutes a local option campaign must deposit in advance, the expense of the election. It applies to the "nets" as well as the ,drys." At present the expense of the election is paid by the county. -'en. Krau is from Klkhart county, home of Hubert Lmmett l'loctor. author cf the Proctor law. Accordingly it tonus as a sort of appendix to that statute. We said it is not without merit. The same rule might be made to apply to all special elections instituted by a faction uf a community in search of the approval of a ma'oritv of the people- for some new undertaking. It is reasonable that the county should not be put to the expens" if the proposition loses out, nor should the minority be taxed for the institution of something that they do not want, if it wins. Thc.t is abort all that there is to the hill. Cuming from the liquor interests, however if it dues come fr m thfhi. the special put pose is apparent, namely, to place a heavier burden upon the promoters uf local option elections, and especially "dty" promoters, that have to beg for their funds v ithout the least promise of return in sight, save as they anticipate its value in the improement of the moral tone of the community. It is accordingly just one more th rn thrust into the tlesh of the prohibitionists, only to serve to spur them on In their more or less, questionable madness. We say, therefore, that P is bail pulicy for the liquor interests to start such a measure if it is they who have started it; and. you can pretty near bet your lettom dollar if bttin..: were permitted in South Rend that it wasn't started by their cpr oncnt-. COL. HK VAN'S ADDKKsS. Again Indiana lias heard dinct from Washington on a few points inf;hini; national politics. Col. William Jfimin's Rran. secretary uf state, has bruught another message to the state apital. We are being kept reasonably well informed on what demoeraey. of the progressive sort, is suffering at the hands of democracy of th' reactionary sort cooperating with the reactionary r publicans.

S Representatives. Advertli'.ng- Bulldlnr, Cfcleac even when congress was nearly solidly republican though tinctured with reactionary and progressive streaks. It is no discredit to the ship-purchase bill that it is undergoing amendments to escape a certain death. The. powerful interests that ar at work to kill the measure will be confronted with a degree of defeat even if naught but the enacting elause survives. It has been a great campaign of education, this fight over the ship-pure base bill, and any kind of a bill is better than none, that gives the principle a foot!, old. Rut Col. RryanV address went farther than the ship-purchasing bill. $t touched upon thinga democratic here at home. It sounded a warning whieh the Indiana democracy must heed if it is to maintain its supremacy. It must not he bluffed to sleep by the reactionary element, which in the main is neither democratic nor republican, but running largely to a bi-partisan arrangement, with self interest the main stake. This government was never in greater danger than now with respect to the issue, an to w hether this shall continue a government, by. of and for the people, or by, of and for the Almighty Dollar It is regrettable that Col. Itryan could not have been heard in every nook and corner of the state, especially where he has enemies. It would have done those enemies good to have witnessed between the lines, the source of their enmity. Till COLLICdi; KXAMIN ATIONS. From the young people away at colleges and schools, many reports come back of long hours spent cramming for mid-year examinations. Students who have slipped along easily gorgo themselves with facts, and expect to make a good showing. College and school heads are bright people, and they hand out an examination paper quito different from what the pupil expects. He expects to be called upon to give mostly names, dates, and dry facts. P.ut the real test of school work is no mere feat of memory. It is of very little consequence, for instance, for a student to be able to tell in what year Thomas Jefferson became president. Rut he is a poor pupil in history if he cannot Rive in his own words a general idea of Jefferson's influence in the forming of the American government. . A well arranged examination paper tests the general intellgence on such questions, and preparation for such an examination is acquired only by persistent daily work. thi: day or voi'Mi" mi:x. The young man of today is master of a business at an age when his grandfather had . scarce finished . an apprenticeship. Universal education and qt.ick and cheap communication and transportation bring to the young man new a practical grasp of affairs which t nly long years of experience could give to our fathers 50 years ago. Not only are possibilities larger and ambitions higher, but, since methods are swifter and vision is broader than in any preceding period, more may bo accomplished in early life. From factory and ottiec up to college and church the call is for young men. The world is his to do with as he sees tit. Youth is the master. Money does less for a young man who will not also do for himself than it ever did before in world history. Rrain and skill of hand bring one further today than ever. Tho best capital nowadays is a combination of tense, mdustry, pluc k and ay-plication. Young man, your chance is while joi are young. Grab it with both hands. .ume one asks what has become of the farmer that used to sit around the grocery store all day growling about his taxis? Well, apparently just now he is spending most of his time trying to decide which make of automobile he should buy this spring. Th college student does not write x . A ,t , notes on his cuffs in preparation for the mid-year exams, after the good old fashion, a," 'C writing would not be legible on tne modern soft shirts. Tho around hog might see his . shadow better next September, after he has fattened up all summer on the beans and peas the farmer raises for his special benefit. Tho newspapers may not indicate that many new factories are going up. but plenty of money is being spent fitting up the ball grounds and hiring ball players for next summer. -JLrrr The girls will receive kindly gifts of those popvilar artificial flowers, provided you can show 4 K lb ai " I I lit L they cost as much as the real thing.

The junktrade wiilbe dull if congress docs not publish the public documents faster. Statesmen Real and Near. By Fred C Kelly WASHINGTON. Feb. 6. "Ry" Newton, assistant secretary of the treasury, has an odd little collecting fad. He collects the names of liars over the country who have taken the credit for a little poem that Newton once dashed off about New York. The list of these liars now totals 3G. One of the most recent of these was a man in Detroit who, just prior to dying, wrote a letter to a friend in Washington, saying that he had just written a poem which he wished to hand to posterity via his friend. The friend is employed in the treasury department, and chanced to show the letter to Newton, who had grown so accustomed to hearing of dying men faking his poem that he merely smiled, grunted: "That makes number 2y and went on with his work. While spending a day in New York recently Newton was handed a religious tract by a man on the street, down in the Ilnanclal district. On the subway car, a little later, Newton looked at the little tract and read this: A little while ago there was a brignt, young newspaper man ia the city of New York, 31 yean, old. He suddenly fell heir to $50,000. What pity! The prodigal's wild, swift course was run, and rinally he awoke one morning In his hotel, tr find himself without money id without friends. He went to some of his companions who were even yet enjoying some of his money, but could get nothing. How true "Is Luke xv, "No man gave unto him!" Then he stepped into a dru store, got his dose, returned to his hotel, wrote these line, and in a few minutes he was dead! Here is what he wrote: A Toat to New York. Vulgar in manner, overfed, Overdressed and underbred. Heartless, Go-less, Hell's delight, Rude by day and lewd by night; Bedwarfed the man, enlarged his bute. Ruled by boss and prostitute. Purple robed and pauper clad, Raving, rotten, money mad, A squirming herd in mammon's mesh, A wilderness of human flesh. Crazed by avarice, lust, and rum, New York, thy name is DELIRIUM. "There are certain details," remarked Newton to a companion, "in which this thing here Is more or less inaccurate. In the first place, at the time I wrote this poem I was more than 31 years old; 1 never fell heir to any $50,000; I never lived In a New York hotel and the fact is, I am not entirely certain that I am dead." Rep. Simeon D. Fess of Ohio, though one of the scholars of congress, aims to be free from scholarly eccentricities. As he was about to deliver a speech at a county fair last Fall, Fess chanced to note that peeking modestly abovj the top of his low-cut shoe was a hole in his sock. He felt that he should avoid making a public address with a hole in his sock for two reasons: Recause part of his audience would keep looking at the hole and miss what he had to say, and the rest of the crowd would think that he wore that kind of a sock purposely to appear, you know, like one of the common people. Fess, therefore, sought an emporium, purchased a brand new pair of socks, made a change, and stuffed the old pair into his pocket. It was a hot day and in the course of his speech, Fess frequently was obliged to reach for his handkerchief and mop his brow. Rvery time he paused to mop his brow, the crowd applauded boisterously. They not only showed enthusiasm, but laughed as If in high glee. When the speech was over, Fess remarked to a friend: "I thought I had a good speech, -of course, but it never occurred to me that it was a particularly witty or funny speech. Yet the crowd laughed every little while as if they were at a vaudeville show and I was the comic relief following the trained seals." "I don't know what could have amused them." replied the friend, "unless it was the fact that you kept wiping vour forehead with your sock." (Copyright. 1915, by Fred C. Kell.)

ARE REORGANIZING CITY'S CHARITY WORK Charitable Organizations I'icpariiis Complete Itccord of All I'ersoti: Receiving Aid. As the result of continued work on the part of the organized charities of the city the lists of the township trustee, the Salvation Army and Notro Dame have been checked so that there is now little chance for persons to receive more than their share of aid from these sources. The work of checking is to be continued as . rapidly ns possible until all inadvertent duplication of names is avoided. The cooperative work that the organizations are doing on these lists is the result of discoveries that In many Instances families have been receiving more than their share of aid. It is not now the purposo of the charity workers to say that persons shall receive aid from only one source but the purpose is that it shall be only upon the judgment of the workers themselves that such combined aid shall be given. Although it has been found that In many instances there have been unscrupulous persons who have solicited aid from various organizations on whose lisSs they had entered their names yet it has not followed that all persons listed with various organizations have pursued such a course. There have been those who have accepted only such aid as they needed. From this time on, however, each organization will be fully informed as to what aid each other organization is giving. BLOCKADE IS DENOUNCED Rani-di Papers Say Germany Has no Right to Threaten. COPENHAGEN. Feb. d. Danish newspapers Friday denounce Germany threatening the shipping of neutrality countries in declaring a blockade of England. The national Tidende said: "The rnenac of the German admiralty staff against neutral shipping is a brutal violation of free neutral commerce. The German assertion that the British admiralty ordered merchant vessels to display neutral flags so far has neither been confirmed nor denied. If it be true, it will, of course result in a protest but even the misuse of neutral flags by one belligerent power cannot justify an attack on peaceful merchant vessels. "Our deepest hope is that the German menace will not be carried out but if it is it will cause the deepest indignation of all neutral states."
