why xcrr I'lioMon; inin; as itEritEAiiox? In our judgment an ordir.arr-p mi'ht prepared to rcirula t- dancir.tr in South ilend that wouM meet all tho ro'iuirfrno nts of both Mayor Keller's morality committer, and tho vho believo that tho regulation of morals should ho without c1.ks distinction; this too, without making it materially offensive? to anyone. We have contended from the Mart people who do not ned to have their dances repulatfd have nothing to fear from dance regulation, Fame as the man who has no disposition to commit arson need not Rive a rare how many laws are j.as.scd to punish "hrcOn th. other hand, wo have contended that to regulate some dan' f-s .t ethers, both of a public -public nature, is to brand and exemi or a semi fjvrryonc who attends the regulated dance, either as a libertine or a hawd, and thoso who attend the unregulated ones as saints and s;i intests. This, like as not, is giving to both a reputation that they lo not de-serve, and it is the thins that we would .'have the council t away from, if a 1 ' possibility, if a dance ordinance is to he passed. It is not necessary to make attendance at a dance a bad 1:0 of either licenciousness or saint.nood. It Is not, necessarily, cither of them. Place them all on an oj;al footing, and he sensible in doing it, and the rest is easy. To besin with the terpipchorean art should be recognized, not as a sin, to commit which indulgences are to ho pranted by licensing in certain cases, hut as a recreation to be encouraged and developed for the best that is in it. Wo propose an ordinance that

"""aris uamim recreunoi, aim . western Europe have streamed with Placing it under the jurisdiction of blood All evil passions, the thirst of th- city recreation director and thefain aml tho tulrst of vengeance, the

recreation committee, lie Should DC empowered to conduct municipal dances, should it bo deemed advisable. and the same rules might be laid down for him to follow, fo far as the conduct of dances- are concerned, as are submitted in the present proposed ordnance for the regulation of public dance- halls. Then, if any individual, lub, society, organization or corporation, wishes to conduct a dance outside a private home; wishes to indulge in this recreation. In any such public or serni-public manner n.s calls for a public or membership attendance, let them go to the recreation director and get a permit, agreeing that the same rules and regulations that are made to apply to municipal dance halls will bo obeyed. After this manner every dance, not a municipal dance, becomes a private dance. The cost of the permit should be nominal. The recreation director, with tho aid of the committee, and such other aid as it might be deemed wis to summon, should be empowered to .see to it that the terms of tho permit are not violated. They should hae power to cause arrests, and the director, to cancel permits, if those conducting the dances, neglect to observe the rules. A recreation director, and a recreation committee, observing the operations of a dance for the purpose of promoting clean, wholesome recreation, is ono thing. A dance inspector, or dance supervisors, even though they be "Judicious and discreet," spying upon some dances as though crime were anticipated, while sweetly oblivious to others as though they were conclaves of angels, in quite a different thing. Tho recreation director, or a recreation committee, could visit tho select dances of even the most astute without giving offense, and too, they could visit the dance halls where what teems to be regarded as tho more "common herd" terplschoreanates. without being regarded as a limb of the lawtent thither on suspicion that every ono present had gone to seed in criminality. Let our dance regulation become a part of our program for tho advancement of clean recreation, and regard it as an art, rather than a sin, and it wiil do mere to eliminate the tvil in it, by a thousand fold, than partialities or vengeance. People do not like to feel themselves under suspicion, or particularly so. It makes them resentful. He who has tho name pretty soon takes to looking around after the game. AIOIS JIMllAlUiO roil MEXICO. The next step in our treatment of Mexico is expected to be an embargo en the shipment of arms from the 1 I'nlted States. In the present situation, such an embargo would accomplish a double purpose. First. !t would make it harder for the Mexican factions to carry on their fruitless warfare, and would thus drive them, possiMy, to compose their elifftrrnces an i adopt a peace plan. Second, it would deprive the warring elements of the power to make a strong resistel.ee cas-. w e w e re obliced later to send an army of pacification into the country. Mexico mak s very little ( its ow n ammunition, and apparently none of Its own rifles or cannon. Sinco the Euro; tan war began the revolutionist

The j leaders have been allowed to import arms and ammunition from the United ! States after a brief embargo during a period when war .with us seemed irnminent in the expectation that they would tight it out and bring the, various revolutionary movements to a definite conclusion. That hope has failed. In spite of the warning given them by Tres't Wilson, the factional leaders are as far apart as ever, with nobody pot-scss- j ing enough power to establish a stable government. The sooner we clap the lid on by cutting off their hunting supplies, tho better for everybody concerned. cuch an action will, of course, he seized upon by pro-German enthusijnst - s as a precedent for s;opping the export of arms and ammunition to the allies. There i.-j no parallel between the two cases. In Mexico we are not dealing, with a responsible government. There is none there to deal with. And even if wo assume governmental rights on the part of the revolutionary leaders, there is no discrimination in an embargo, because it has the same effect on all. On the! other hand, to stop the export of arms to Europe at this time would, as everybody knows, be an act deliberately favorable to Germany, Austria and Turkey, and hostile to the nations who now enjey access to our markets won bv their navies. ax eihtokial nv macaplay. "All around us tho world is convulsed by the agonies of great nations. Governments which lately seemed likely to stand during ages have been on a sudden shaken and overthrown. The proudest capitals of antipathy of class to class, the antipathy of race to race, have broken loose from the control of divine and human laws. Fear and anxiety have clouded the faces and depressed the hearts of millions. "Trade has been suspended and industry paralyzed. The rich have bocome poor; and the poor have become poorer. Doctrines hostile to all science, to all arts, to all industry, to all domestic charities, doctrines, which, if carried into effect would in .10 years undo all that 30 centuries have done for mankind, and would make the fairest provinces of France and Germany as savage as Congo wilds and Patagonia, have been avowed from tho tribune and defended by the sword. "Europe has been threatened with suhjugation by barbarians compared with whom the barbarians who marched under Attila and Alboin were enlightened and humane. The truest friends of the people have with deep sorrow owned that interests more precious than any political privileges were in jeopardy, and that it might be necessary to sacrifice even liberty in order to save civilization." That sounds very up-to-date, doesn't it? You'd think it had just been written by a brilliant partisan of the allies probably H. (i. Wells or some other English author. It'.s from Macaulay's "History of England." He wrote it nearly 70 vears ago; and it applies? to the L'uro- I pcan situation which resulted in tho 1 placing of William and Mary on the j English throne in 10. pooi; hayti: Taking Hayti as a criterion one might conclude that republican government Is more than an art, but well-nigh a gift to particular peoples. Hayti is the first colony established in tho new world, but all around it are other republics great and small, have more evidently come to stay, and are leaders in world peace, while from the time Columbus established a Spanish settlement there in U?3. the rich island has been tho prey of buccaneers and revolutionists, fre quently, as now. ruling to the point . of national destruction. One man stands out of tho bloody records of Hayti as a capable leader o f his race and a genuine patriot Toussamt I, ouverture. the blacK George Washington." who won his country's independence a century But the gift he gae has been sadly abused, ills race, w hich constitutes i'o per cent of the population of the present Hayti. has shown itself in - capable ef self-government. Not one ! of his successors has won control by legal methods. The country has Veen denominated a republic, a kingdom and an empire, but has been equally misgoverned under whatever name or. system, and has always been a mili- J tary absolutism ruled by force, cun1 nlng and cruelty. The lynching of 1 Brest Vilhrun Guillaume is in the! regular order of things.. Perhaps ho I deserved his fate, but the circumstances of it bode in fcr any impiovement.

man or tiii: Kir.HT SOHT. r.very man in South Bend, the like of John Hays Hammond. Jr.. even in a miniature way. will please hold Up their hands. Hammond, jr., talks like a patriot, and a. man of sense, and patriotism and sense are not always entwined in the same cosmos. Iet us take a lctson from John Hays Hammond, jr.. while we have a chance before he changes his mind, else the opportunity havinsr knocked at our door once, as says the late John InK.ills, it may never pass our way again. Hammond is a young man who has invented a radio-wireless submarine torpedo, which he proposes to sell to lne!e .-'am only and which is said to be the deadliest thing for making war kn-wn. His torpedo weigns iwo inns. is 10 times larger than the bicgest torpedo in use. has a displacement of :.r. tons, is driven by 600 V.-rse power, and controlled from shore by wireless waves, and is almost unerring in aim. Ho says: I will not sell this torpedo to any of tho belligerent powers. First, because I do not need the money; second, because I would not like to think of the child of my brain slaughtering thousands of men; third, because this country, my own country, may need the thing soon in her own defense. But if those devils ever come over here I would be perfectly willing to stand with my finger on that wireless key of mine and shoot torpedo after torpedo into them. I would do it without a qualm, and there would he nothing left of them but stuff for the American junkman. It is all right to talk about not wanting to light. I do not want to tight: I want to prepare to tight. For if the other fellow wants to tight, what have I to say about it? That's the crux or our war proposition. We've got to be so well prepared that the other fellow will not want to fight us. IT IS riXE Ill's IX ESS. It is to be hoped that you got the real point in that article showing how the Studebaker Co.. Kdison Co., Michigan Stove works, Montgomery Ward it Co., and others are insuring their employes, thereby taking off the latter's minds the worry over "family future in case I die." The crux of the matter is that it raises the employe's efficiency it is profitable to the employer. This is fine. It is all right. Tako a bundle of the almighty dollars, fasten them a lew inches in front of the "soulles corporation's" nose, and watch the critter no! Wc repeat that ita line. We'd like to see all the corporations breaking the pced limits at doing things for their working people, and discovering; that it is profitable. "PUT-ITX" OK "PAT-PAT." Dr. K. F. Otis, whoever that is. has something new for us, the pat-pat He says that kissing is the most common way of spreading tuberculosis and he wants us to adopt the pat-pat instead; that is, to lightly pat each other's cheek when meeting, with a smile to express our real feelings. It can't be elone. It's better to kiss, sm!i3 and conceal our real feelings. Most of us can get away with this, but should wo raise our fists and merely appreach the cheek therewith and express enir real feelings, there'el be too many knock-downs. The put-put of kissing may be tubercular, but Dr. Otis has got to concoct a safer substitute than his pat-pat. A New Yerk cedfln manufacturer reports that his business is improving, and he gives this explanation: "When times are good and money is plentiful, men over-eat and over-drink and tlie. When times are bad, and people cut out the wine and rich foods and get back to corned beef and cabbage and the simple things that their stomachs can stand, then there's less work for the undertaker and the casket-maker." Is that an argument in favor of hard times, or what? Prcs't Wilson has revived the good Jid domestic habi of reading aloud to his family in the evening. "What does he read?" you ask you guess wrong. And that's where He doesn't read Gibbon' s Konian Empire" or Emerssay, or Kent's "Critique of son's I Pure Reason" at all tive stories. He reads detecPrawley, Calif., claims to have hens that get up at night to catch bugs under the electric lights.

IT rejoices us when the guilty are brought to justice, but we are not always pleased with the method employed. Becker has paid tho penalty of his crimes, but it would have been more creditable to civilization if the consideration had been in eiifferent form. YOU may not acree with us. but we maintain human life should not be taken except in self-defense or to relieve suffering. SECY ItEDFIELD'S confidence in his subordinates is admirable, from his viewpoint, but hardly discreet. The fact that the Eastland capsized seems to upset his theory of infallibility. Probably tho MuMo Merited It. (Painesville .O., Republican) Miss Ruth Hayes, a popular young lady of this eitv and a talented musician, presided ai the gasoline callipoe, and filled the air with "It's a Long Way to Tipperary." and other popular selections of the day. As the parade was returning to the show grounds Miss Hayes was presented with a very pretty spray of paper flowers by the clerks of Duer's 5 and 10-cent store, where she formerly was employed. WHY should we worry because the Zapatistas trample on the stars and f tripes. Our flag. makes a mighty linn base to stand on. THE most pathetic phase of the Becker case was the wife's appeal for her husband's life. All the unselfishness, devotion and se'.f-effacement of womanhood was thrown into it. Always Has Been and liver Will Be. (New York Times) The American dollar is today the most desired piece of current money in the. whole world. "A RISE in the price of beef used to be accompanied by an interesting explanation. Now it simply takes place," reflects the Washington tar. But why should that disturb us with spring chickens at 20 cents a pound. YO UTI 1 1' Uli O U LATI ( ) X S. (Memphis News Scimitar.) Perhaps tho most pitiful and pathetic phase of the war in Europe is the widespread destruction of young boys, who have been organized as Boy Scouts, and whose youthful ardor has led thorn into tho war. where, they are being offered up by the thousands as innocent oblations upon the accursed altar of Moloch. These boys are courageous and patriotic, and cheerfully go where danger and death lurk. They should not be allowed to do so. A vivid pen picture, with a few bold strokes, has been drawn by James Douglass, a writer in London's Opinion, which conveys a rather clear idea of the monstrous crimo that is being committed against youth. He says: "My heart is raked with pity for the clear-eyed, clean-skinned lads who have gone and are going to the slaughter with life fresh and sweet upon their lips. Thekv arc butchered in the beauty of their boyhood. I feel murderous when I seo the name of a midshipman of 15 in the roll of honor. Tho pity of it! The shame of it! The horror of it! It is hard to sleep with the sobs of Rachel mourning for her children in one's eirs. There never was such lamentation in the world. If we were able to imagine it we should all go mad with rage and grief and remorse." These children have a right to life and its enjoyments, and no government has a right to deprive them of these blessings. They should be permitted to grow to maturity and manhood, and Jo realize what the world has in store for them. They should not be cut down in the flower and blossom of their, youth. If after attaining to their majority they desire, to go to war, it is their ow n affair, but while they are children they should be withheld from the slaughter. From time to time we hear about laws being passed prohibiting the killing of calves and lambs and other animals that are used for food, on the ground that it is economic waste, and that they should be permitted to grow and develop. If such an argument is logical it should acquire greater force when applied to human beings, who, In addition to having material value, have also immortal souls and intelligential as well as rational essences that it is a crime to obliterate.- War Is a brute's work at best, and if men will engage in it they should at least leave the children at home as seed corn for the generations to come. "AX I) i:Vi:X TIIKI7S A LITTLE QUE EH." (New York Globe.) One would think that the great humanitarian principles which underlie the temperance cause would be so commanding that its advocates would be filled with the spirit of the text, "They who are not against us are for us." But such seems not to ho the case. All public men and candidates for of fice are to be subjected to tne test 01 their agreement with certain prohibitionist method., and even among those who conform to the test there may be some who are "a little queer. For some reason evidently remote from the cause of temperance the social distinctions which differentiate the ex-soldier from the ex-prize fighter make it embarrassing for both to speak from the same platform, and possibly, even among members of the profession or arms a prohibitionist could And still further disqualifications and so on. If this organization were guided simply by a desire for temperance, and was basing its propaganda upon the physical ill effects of alcohol, a man of Mr. Sullivan's experience might be; a gxeat help to it. But, of course, if it Is seeking only to increase its influence in the game of national politics, physiological considerations are relegated to a second place, for the name of an ex-prize fighter ma;' not carry much J political Influence. It is quite natural that prohibitionists should feel it necessary to put themselves on record as opposed to the evil of prize fighting, but even temperance move ments may occasionally show a tendency to intemperance in the number of evil? which they undertake to reform all at one time.
