no rixovs kmi.iki nm this KLIXTION CROOKS. Whatever elJe may h$ aid of the state assembly that closed Us l'.ir session. Monday night. It has proven a veritable graveyard for a number of I'ndf Makings, most certainly deserving of that very end Among the latest of the vicious ones is what became known as the "felon's relief bill." defeated in the hou.e Friday after the .senate had passed it. und after being reported out favorably by the house judiciary committee. The bill would not have been m bad on lbs face, had not the senate been forced to admit ita primal purpose, and finally, by amendment, to openly recognize it. Of courfo, it hailed from Indianapolis. Practically all the vicious legislation before the assembly seems to have hailed from Indianapolis. It came right along uith the Bell "kingship" bill and the sneaking attempt to recall City Judge Decry through the establishment of a second and unnecessary city police court. Unlimited power for Mayor Hell ami a judicial H.vftfm that would enable him to protest his political crooks, seems to have been the entire ambition of the Indianapolis democracy during the past eouple months, and backed by the state organization, ilk these measures have been, it has required a pretty independent legislature to turn them down. The '"felon" relief bill" was plainly calculated to save, if possible, the political crooks in Indianapolis who operated there at the registration, the primary, and the election last fall, and some of them sufficiently long a so to even have helped Mayor Hell to his election. The plan was to make it possible for them to demand a change of veniu have their cases transferred to some other county and be sure of getting there. To aecomplish this the promoters of the bill wero willing to allow such political offenders to be classified along with murderers and men accused of treason, these three to be the only crimes with regard to which a change of enue might be demanded, without the court having any discretion in the matter. Incident to which, we suggest, that whilo the purpose of the bill was icious, the classification was not so bad. The election crook is a traitor to the s?ovrmnent. Had the bill prescribed for him the same penalties that it prescribes for murderers or treason, we do not know but that we would say that it should have passed. The larger frightf ulness of the penalty might carry with it sufficient merit to more than offset the proposed larger opportunity of escape. Happily, .outh Rend, especially since the passage of the corrupt practices act lias been comparatively free from election crookedness- comparatively we say, with especial emphasis when it romea to making comparisons with Terr' HauW and Indianapolis. We know of no circuit or superior court judges in the counties surrounding St. Joseph, to which an election crook might appeal with any degree of certainty that he would he hown any favoritism, but down at Indianapolis they seem to feel differently, ami the assembly was right in declining1 to subscribe to any su- h a program. We can understand how a community might become so wrought up over election frauds ami the abuse of te governmental franchise, th.it a determination might be engendered to punish someone regardless of their guilt or innocence, but as a general rule the fellow that such a community would pick up would have a bad spot on him yomewhrre. We brieve in making it just as unsafe to corrupt the ballot as it possibly can be made. The law was not prepared to protect the innocent, but rather to save the guilty. It w nt down, i.o where it belonged, into the junk-heap and b you know, that the moment It had gone, there was none so poor about that state house, as to do it reverence. tin: harm dom: ry ri,ooi. Kvrry return of spring weather brings the news of damage by floods along the nation's great rivers. The attitude of congress und the public la like the oft repeated story of the man whose roof leaked. lie did not mend it when it raineu. because it was too wtt to work on it. and when it didn't rain, the rcof was all tight. . The put. lie .ms to think that the floods are an injury only to the "it immunity directly affected.

It affc ts national pro.v-iHy much more thin eviN that attract greater attention. Scientists say that tht peoph .if L'.yOO years ago wen- much mere efficient in handling th-ir rivers. Flood damigo was a ure.it problem eu-n tn those ds. li 1 aid tint th- destructive rising of the Tber vere ot:. of the principal causes of the decline and fall of the Roman empire. Jn

Kgypt the contial of the Nile reached a point of skill scarcely attempted in this country. The ancient people turned these flood tigers into friends of man. They handled the surplus" water scientifically, so as to enrich the land. Kngineers say that much of the levee building along the Mississippi has been vor. than useless. The people of one district build dike that may su'.c themselves for a time, but are destructive to those a little farther down the stream. The scientific thing to do, apparently, would be to allow the water to spread out in certain basins. If the owners of land did not want this done, it Is asserted that it would pay the United States to buy the land. After a peried of 20 to r.O years, the river, by flowing more regularly, could be made to deepen its channel. Tho land of the basins where the flood waters were stored, would be so enriched that the government could sell it and make money on the whole transaction. FOIIWAJID-LOOKIXC; RRi;sii)i:xTIALISMS. Former Pres't Theodore Itoosevelt has no idea at the present time that he will take uny part in the next presidential race. He believes that ho ha.s made too many political enemies to bo available again as a presidential candidate. He is not, however, promising anybody that he is through with the presidential game. Once he did that. . Tho mad i open at the present time for the reactionary wintf of the republican party to trot out their favorites. At the head of the list, of course, is Holes renrose ot Pennsylvania, who showed stronger than any other old line republican at the election last November. Next to him comes Myron T. Ilerrick, who has been looked over by the big Wall street bankers and by them endorsed. Then comes James R. Mann, republican house leader from Illinois; Gov. Charles S. Whitman as a possible favorite son for the Kmpiro state of New York, which state's electoral vote always figures so largely In a presidential, campaign: Sen. John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, a business man endorsed by bankers and business men. Among1 the other possible favorite) sons t be offered by their l espectlve states may be Charles Warren"' Fairbanks and James 1Z. Watson of Indiana, Samuel W. MeCall of Massachusetts. Warren (1. Harding and Theodore K. Piurton of Ohio. Sen. William Alden Smith of Michigan. William K. Borah of Idaho, Albert R. Cummins of Iowa, and Robert M. La Follette of Wisconsin. The fact that Roosevelt is disin- ' lined to run does not mean necessarily that tho progressive party will not have a candidate. The managers of the progressive party arc awaiting developments. The organization is being held together and will bo held together to see what sort of a candidate is nominated by the republican?. The function of the progressive party may be again to defeat the republican candidate, ninl such a function may prove again to be not at all bad. STAMAHIS OF SCHOLARSHIP. Two views are held among school teachers and superintendents, as to what shall be done with pupils who fail to keep up. The old time teacher was rather inclined to pass them along The student, it was argued, v. ould lose interest if compelled to drop back into another class. lie had probably got about all that can be had oat of that grade or stage of his wcr'.. He will get more to let him go on than he will to make him grind J over tin same work again. A few years ago there was a widespread impression thnt a good athlete could slip through almost any college. Of recent years, both in colleges and high schools, theie seems to be a stricter feeling about scholarship requirements for athletes. That many of the colleges are now imposing severe ists was suggested by the news reports of the past wee!:, to the effect that at Cornell ir.iwrsity. 1 I i nu n have been dropped as a result of the mid-year "exams." .lo ls others were placed on probation and denied many privileges. Probably some student b b s? heart on being dropped back. Also the l etter portion of the !:. who are allowed to go on. make a distinct gain by parting company with tin sluggards. An indolent pupil is r.uiv hng-g?,-f Kxplahiirg Hutu's to him. which he should have vorked out for himself, robs th' res; of the cbis.- of valuable time. They all t. ml to drop to hi low standard.

world. yaki:m:i ry war. We arc given to ponder over the rather astonishing statement of a millionaire scion of a multi-millionaire family that he is indebted to the Li.ropean war in that it prevented his annual pilgrimage abroad, compelling, him to substitute a journey through America, thereby directing his attention "for the first time." to the wcaUh of scenic beauty and innumerable points of interest with which this country rewards the traveler. Curious isn't it? The mania for foreign travel runs riot, necessitating a world's war to check! The dollars which the wealthy families of America pour each year into the coffers of Kuropcan inn and shop keepers would feed the families of a million laborers. And yet it takes nothing less than aa international calamity to open their eyes to that fact, to awake in them the realization of the glories eif their native land. Sad commentary on the innate patriotism and national pride of the wealthy classes. It would be interesting to know Just what proportion of these have seen the grandeurs of Niagara falls, Yellowstone park, the Hrand Canyon of Arizona, the Petritled forest, etc. any of which la unsurpassed by anythin? Europe offers for their blase attention. J APAN'S VI A :LI X ( i. John C. Worley, who has just returned to this country after 15 years spent as a missionary at Matsuyma, Japan, declares that the common peoI pie of that country regard America as their best friend and that tho existing treaties with Great Rritain have not altered that feeling. The magnanimity the Japanese displayed when they prepared a national exhibit for the Panama-Pacific exposition, such as no world's fair has ever witnessed, easily far superior to that of any other nation represented there, is a striking illustration ot that feeling, for it must be remembered that this exhibit has been in process of preparation for. some years and was being assembled just at the time when the anti-Japanese agitation in California was at its height. That some day the commercial interests of the two nations may clash is probable, in fact certain, eventually. Put Japan as a nation Is now in the vanguard of progress, busy with her ewn affairs. There is hardly a possibility that any difference could arise which, could not and would not he settled by diplomacy, or as a further resort, arbitration. N'either Japan nor the United States wants war with one another nor could either possibly profit thereby. i lie; ii soenrrv. President Wilson in an address the other day at a Rerea college meeting, compared the ways ef the simple mountain folks with thoso of high society. "The airs of the select are often amusing," said the president. The value of the services rendered by the circle called "society," is the subject of many differences of opinion. Undoubtedly society people do a very large amount of philanthropic work. Rut there is a disposition among the men of these circles to shunt these tasks off on the women. When a man acquires a million dollars, one would think he could well spare from money making some time for philanthropic causes. ?omo of them lo Hut the great majority think they can serve the human race by proxy. Probably the most serious charge to be made agaipst high society is its raste of time. The whirligig of teas, balls, receptions, continues summer and winter. It is hard work, consuming vitality, and rendering no adequate return. WILLIAM'S SOUND AI ICR. Prof. William H. Taft is out with a statement regarding the crisis which may at any moment confront the United States as a result of the European embroirlio. which for moderation of utterance and patriotic, sensible .advice is a gem of the first water. It is a situation demanding the highest form of statesmanship and patriotism which, as Taft remarks, "neither prido nor monetary passion rhould influence." Personal differences must be set aside, political aitiliations forgot, and the people of this country, regardless of what European origin, stand united in support of whatever policy the administration may adopt. It is a matter of congratulation that in a time of trial Taft is big enough to stand by the opposite party, riaht or wrong, f( r k:. . iiir.' r 's w lf.tr'. Tin: poor roREiox editor The fate of the Austrian editor makes us much more c-mionted v.ith our lowly lot. , Two hours before publication, the Vienna editor has to s lbmit his paper ! the war eer.i, v. ho bluepencil his war opinion- to suit their p .vs. or mak" him '-'ct cu an entire new issue. It's a wo'i.P-r that they r.on't have to open asylums for editors and composing room foremen. Indeed, war h lerrible. it ii:im:mi. In the Balkan wars both Fr:uh and German manufaetun rs sold tnr.i.n to the bell'.-; : cuts, a:ul there v as no kick about it.

Canby, president cf Chicago's board of trade, says that the rise in bread prices will not cause suffering among the poor, because the poor won't rat so much. There's a cracking bright new Idea for the poor, and for Mr. Dwine. O'More. Economize by not eating! Californi.Vs legislature will consider a bill prohibiting the keeping of more than three- goats, unherded. Odor objectionable? Not in that legislature. Rut goats eat bee food, thus hurting the honey industry. The business men of this country feel that people of South America should be so anxious to buy our goods that they will proceed to acquire the English language to ilnd out about them. Our sympathy ia with the captain of that French merchantman who wept when the German submarine made him give a perfectly fine ship for a pair of sea boots. According to the warring powers that are shooting each other up in the public high way, 'it is the duty of Uncle Sam to remain in the vegetable cellar if he does not want to get hurt. After reading that people should have work done at once so as to give people employment, some generous men decide to go out and get a five cent shine. An exchange says that dances, cards, and charities are tho principal Lenten diversions. Probably some are willing to make still further sacrifices by giving up the charities. It is said the new styles make every woman look as if she were eighteen. This will help convince the registrars of voters of the truth of the statements made in the suffrage states. If you see a man who seems to have the blues and who talks as if the country wore going to the dogs, he is probably an income tax payer assessed $10 on a $5,000 income. If the reading circle gets drowsy, just bring in one of the new magazines with the spring fashions, and see how popular the study of literature really is. Many men are regretfully compelled to give up the idea of a garden the coming spring, on account of the selfish and indolent refusal of their wives to cultivate it. Parent-Teach :r associations are being formed in many places, but the Small Roy can usually handle them both, even if they do combine against him. Many of tho Woman's clubs are studying the philosophy of Uergson this winter, which is considered an excellent preparation for making tho muffins for supper. Signs warning motorists against high speed are being erected in many places and if the motorists would slow down they might bo able to read them. i x n uui'iiJtiiii povri.s iii.l-Iill.aiU large and capacious waste baskets in which various notes are promptly deposited, j Now that Baby Sayre is out of the white house.

They are coming for miles To see the etyles; They are coming every day From fifty miles away. From the cities and the towns And from the country downs. From Mctropoli and Wilier creek. Miss South Bend will welcome all! Her door will open wide To all who walk or ride. And the vision of her graces Will bring smiles to all their faces; She will smile her sweetest smile, Without the slightest guile. And respond to every call. AS a melting pot the United States is doing what it can to wipe out racial differences, but succeeds enly to the extent of substituting the English language for the native tongues of those who come to our shores and abolishing national distinctions. Here all are American citizens and for the most part feel that way, yet the racial characteristics are not eradicated. .O with the primal things. In the beginning our progenitors looked to Mother Earth for their sustenance. Gradually tho majority has drifted away from that necessity, tut the primal instinct remains. At a certain period in the lives of most of us we have a longing to go back to the farm. Our conception of what following that inclination would mean to us is faint, but the pull of the plowis almost irresistible. WE would not say we love our legislature more for what it has not done than for what it has, but there was a chance that we might have. Wo Would Re a Editor. Sir: Sometimes when I am listening to a great preacher I find myself reflecting: "What a lawyer he would make!" And then I wonder if I had his superlative talents which of the two callings would I choose. It all depends upon the point of view. In this connection perhaps it will be interesting to consider tho case of St. Paul. He was brought up at the feet of Gamaliel, tho record goes, "a doctor cf tho law, had in reputation amon? all the people." His letters show that his analysis was clear and Fearching. his arguments inescapable, his antitheses the delight of the student of expression, and his eloquence burning and Irresistible. With an equipment of such intellectual splcnStatesmen Real and Near, By Fred C Kelly WASHINGTON, March S. Just by way of showing what strange things can happen, we cite here the unfortunate case of Bill Brigham, Washington correspondent for the Boston Transcript. Brigham imested one dollar a while ago in an alarm clock. By means ef that clock he has estranged himself from a number of life-long friends. Brigham bought the clo:k in consequence of an ambition to get up each morning at 7: lb). The first thing he did after he got the clock home was to set the alarm for 7:30. In his eagerness to get the cleck ready for action he overlooked the fact that 7:30 occures in the evening as well as in tho early morning. Promptly at 7:o0 that evening the clock began to ring. Instead of being annoyed at the sound, Brigham was rather pleased, for the bell had a distinct, matter-of-fact tone that he was Mire would get him out of bed at 7 : "i 0 in the morning. He went and rewound th" alarm, and returned to his evening papers. Rut in a few minutes the alarm sounded again. Bill went and looked at the clock. It wis still set for 7: HO and the hour was 7:4o. It seemed altogether illogical that the clock should have rung. In five minutes the bell again sounded its merry lay. The thing was uncanny. Every time Brigham went near the clock it was quiet enough, but when ho turned his back it was likely to ring. ThN scrt of thing went on lor two or three evenings and the mystery grew. Even when the clock was not wound at all, something would make it ring. One morning, while walking along wondering what made the olck act so funny, Brigham passed an old friend who nodded coldly. "What's the matter?" asked Brigham. "Whatter you acting so sour about ?' "Oh, nothing." said tho friend, with dignity. "I don't like to force myself on people. A few nights ago my wife and I went to your house to call, and you were at home, because we could see you through the window. We also could hear the doorbell ring when we pressed the button. But you made no move to come and let us in. Instead, you hastened to another part of the house. Now, my wife and I resent that kind of hospitality." In tho course of the day Rricham met another friend who hod suffered a ffim'.lnr Indignity. Jt seems that the alarm clod; bell am! the doorbell had precisely the same tone. In the days when "By" Newton, assistant, secretary of the treasury, was aviation editor of the New York Herald, he came to have a great veneration for the Wright brother' lie liked the Wrights personally and they were fond of him. It wus Nekton who put t ho Wrights to agree never to 11 y at the same time. o that if anything happened to their machine there would be one of the inventors left. Newton was so enthusiastic over his fr.ends the Wright tht.t he used to say to himself: "I'd give almost anything 1 possess if 1 could just go to the Wrights town, of Dayton, C., get a big assemblage of p?ople together and stand op Kvfuro them to tell them what I think uf the Wright brotheis." The dream came true. A while ago, in the regular routine of his present ;ob, Newton went to Dayton to make a s'.'-ech dedicating the new postoftlee building. A large assemblage of people were present, including Orville V.'riuat and his sister, and Newton made a speech not about the new po-j-ctrlce. but about the work ;;c Wright brother.

WASHINGTON.

"When they had reached the point where the peculiar bird cM p. , : served the colonel looked at it for a few moments, then raised his gun. lired and brought it down. "When tiie bird had been recovtM-i the colonel examined it carefully a-.i then conceded that Kermit was rig:.;. "'But what was the use of kilhm. it?' said Kermit. "'How could 1 xamine it propeily and make sure about it unless 1 killed if." responded the colonel." J Arthur Ihinn sent a doorkeej t r ! into the senate the other dav to tell Sen.
