PJtOFlsOKs' WAIL SYMPATHIES. Fnusual significance attaches to a poll takt n by an eastern university professor of his professional brethren throughout the country hhowinx the nature vf their war sympathies. Professor arp not necessarily repres"nta tive American., lmt they are presu; i ably belter qualified to sit in judgnu nt on the various belligerents than ai,; other class of Americans. They exceptionally intelligent and well edu fated. the have cultivated a judh a;, habit of mind, an! they haw cev-i-lent facilities for getting at the fact?. The professors inter iew-d num!c. more than 0.'i". They are scattered through 4 4 important institutions in all sections of the country, with about 75,000 students. The smalliu.-s of the pro-demum minority was suMu-imiu. In the ' general instit utlons" one professor out o! j every tifteen was pro- lerman. In Uk theological schools one out of seventeen was pro-( lerman. In the law colleges only about one out of P. was pro-German. In other professional schools the proportion was about tluj .ame. as in the general institutions, one in fifteen. The average pro-CJerman representation in all of them together seems to haw- been about si: per cent. This pcrn.ntage is obviously lower than the ( Jernian-Aiiiei'iea n percentage of our population. and apparently lower than the German-American percentage among the professors themselves. It should bo remembered, too, that a wry l uge proportion of these haw studied in Germany, and so are presumably accessible to the (lerman spirit, and mo:t of them read the German language. Their reading is wide iind cosmopolitan. They subscribe to German periodicals or have access to such periodicals in their college libraries And th ir reading and reflection led nearly all of them to side with the allies. This poll, moreover, was completed before the linking of the Busitania. Prof. J. J. McCook. w ho is responsible for it. says that he knows personally of several professors previously proGerman, who have changed their attitude because of that act and the train of events that hae followed. Jt fprnis fair to infer that not more than 4 per cent of these intellectual lead ers of the nation would vivo Germany J r their approal todav. 1 ' " It would be extremely interesting to hac a similar poll of Aimricans o.' all elapses and nationalities, especially in view of the boasts that some

pro-German leaders ha e made of the been a more scrupulously honest judipolitlcal influence they can bring tot clary, p.ut there is probably no other bear. If the people followed the pro-i civilized country so prone to "delay

fessors, there wouldn't be 1.0tui,MOO pro-German votes in the country. WAK ON CATS. "Over ."V.Ouo.oOO birds, many of them of rare ami almost extinct species, art; destroyed annually by cats." says bert Pearson, MM-retary of tho National Association of Audubon Societies, and then adds: There is no wild animal or bird of prey on his continent which compares it. destruetiveness with the domestic tat. It depopulates tbe woods of our natiw songsters and left alone, will render silent every grove in America. Game birds have suffered terribly from Its ravages. Yagrant and socalled 'domesticated cats together destroy more lurds than all the other force in America combined. He points out that the common view

ie leporis one case m wnicn a large colony of birds', sea Urns or sea swallows, on an island near Nantasktt. was almost wiped out by eight cats. From several thousand they were reduced to a few hundred before bird-lovers discovered the caue of the slaughter and destroyed the cats. The city of Montelair. N. J., ha 5 taken action to lessen this evil, together with the spreading of infectious diseases by cats. It has passed an ordinance providing for the "impounding, sale ,r destruction" of all vagrant or unub nti!ied cats found roaming at large. The only salvation for pussy is to wear a tag bearing lo-r owner' name and address.

As the tide rose, raising the barges with their platforms, the obi J;o-toii bridge was slowly and gently lifted "ro;n its place without the exertion of : ... i:d of steam power, or tho if tins "f a hand. Then a Motilla of it,s maneuvered the barges with the ' .v sp.-.n to its destined position, 1 1 1 everything wn.x made ready. In i ft w hours the ebbing tide just as leftly dropped tho great mass of .teel work into its slots with the precise . cciirury required and the job was '! . Ti ;itic was inteirupted for only twelve hour.-. That feat is sure to set the engineering world thinking. If the tide can .ift an 1. loo-ton bridge span as lightly J as the human hand lifts- a toy, what can it not do in the way of working for man. The tide-power going to waste on our sea roasts is inconceivably enormous. In thousands of bays and inb ts. twice every day, water areas many square miles in extent rise several feet and then subside again. The power of Niagara is a trifle compared with the reservoir force which might be tapped by building proper works for the con. trol and use of the vast volume of rising and falling water. In fact, our future engineers may get more power out of the tides than all the present horsepower in America amounts to, ,'nmi :!! sources. si:yi:n-yi:ak IjAvslits. Former I'res't William Howard Taft, professor at the Yale law school, and long an advocate of law reforms particularly in pleading and practice, is quoted as saying the other day that lie had heard a New York lawyer boast that he could prolong any piece of litigation for seven years, simply by taking advantage of the legal pretexts for postponement and delay. If that can be done in New York and Mr. Taft admitted that he had no doubt it could it can probably be done in most of the other states, including Indiana. And that means, obviously, that the purpose for which courts are instituted is defeated. It is just TOO years since Magna Charta, the foundation of Knglish and American law, laid down the basic . , principles o To lion f court procedure: none will we sell, to none will be deny, to none will we delay right or justice. Justice is not sold in the United states. Never in any land has there right or justice;" and in thousands and thousands of cases, the delay incidental to tedious and unessential technicalities results in a virtual denial of right and justice. The poor man cannot afford the long and expensive litl

Gil-(nation necessary to establish his right I and the impatient man will not take J the trouble. Thus two of the three

judicial guarantees of the AngloSaxon race arc undermined. There is hope, however, in the fact that leaders of the bench and bar ara beginning to admit it. and are urging their professional brethren to wipe out the shame and ineiticiency of our present svsteni. )Yi:klooki:i) opportunity. Some merchants of this country are overlooking a bet, in neglecting the serving their foreign trade. To mention only one concrete inr. mce I'hJlo imoorted through the ,,f i,ut i I'J Oeo Relatively, our parcel post trade with other foreign countries is the .sune. It has been found that the mails is by far the most reliable method of transporting small packages to foreign countries whose commerce is :.ot interfered with hy war. Our merchants have a great opportunity to build tip a mail order business with the whole world while the war is on, if they will. what a iioppi:i;: An Arizona legend runs that he who drinks of the waters ot the H assay -ampa riwr can never tell tho truth again. Tho following dipped from the Indianapolis News, leads us to aj-k if thete happens to be a Hassuyampan on its staff: "Headed by a big rooster, a flock of hers in Pittsburgh marches every evening from its yard to the railroad station to meet the owjer, J. I.. Armstrong. The flock' then escorts Armstrong to his home, the rooster leading all the way." nri.ii moosi: thai ions iwil Ity a vote of r. t,, 17, the members of the progressive party committee ot Urie county. New York, turned down the proposition of F. M. Davenport and Pouglas llobinsor. :o turn over th party machinery of the progressive party to the Itoot-Parnes republican organization. In Herkimer county, where Douglas

Robinson called a meeting for a similar purpose, he did not secure a single vote. Uhauneey J. Hamlin, who assisted Davenport and IIobinon in tho effort to give away their following, has resigned, and the progressives of New York state are now hard and solid for a presidential candidate in who will be, no doubt, Hiram W Johnson of California, sorrif in Tin: saddli:. Three years ago congress appropriated half a million dollars to be used in improving country roads on rural routes, the money to be expended under the superv ision of the federal good roads bureau and the state io put up J- for every $1 of federal money. The money was in effect a bonus to the builders of state and county roads. A report just given out

shows that the bencliciaries of this! appropriation are thirteen southern states and three northern states, which is clrcurm tantial evidence of the fact that "the south is in the saddle." somi: titli;. That popular division of the department of commerce, known as the bureau of standards, has just issued a bulletin with the following thrilling title, "The Emergent Stem Correction for Thermometers in Oil Distillation Flasks." If this does not meet a Ions felt want the bureau is going to try again. Congress meant well as usual when it passed the bill rewarding Panama canal workers by granting special promotion to army men with three years' canal service to their credit. Hut also a usual the bill was loosely drawn. As result, Capt. George It. Goethals, son of the builder of the canal, I'D years old and less than four years out of West Point, is said to be eligible to retire as a major, on a life pension of $-,-."i0 a year. He probably isn't going to do it, but that doesn't relieve congress of the responsibility. While the cables were bringing the news of the torpedoing of the Arabic by a German submarine, they also brought the news that the kaiser had just conferred the Order of Merit on Admiral von Tirpitz. Wonder if there was any connection between the two events? A big moving picture company at Flushing, Long Island, offers to pay that city ten per cent of its profits if will change itsname to "Film City." And maybe Flushing would consent, if it wasn't morally certain that the name would be pronounced "Fillum City." The rate advances gained by the western railroads don't amount to much, but at least they serve to emphasize the fact that the interstate commerce commission is learning to revise- rates upward as well as downward. New York people pay live cents a dozen more for white eggs than for brown ones. They don't eat the shells, cither. Why do they do it, then? Oh, just because the grocers tell 'cm the white ones are better. "I did noTxviil tTTiTwairri "Kaiser Wilhelm told his soldiers recently. However that may be, what Americans want to known is whether he willed the sinking of the Arabic with its American passengers.

COME! TAKE POTLUCK WITH US.

IS not this (or is this not, as you please) obvious? The kaiser is determined to carry out his sub-sea polity, but willing to pay incidental damages. OUIl kid neighbor says.

Though we do not understand that kissing Mr. Bryan is necessarily fatal.

Come hurry our load to lighten. We're getting hurt and rolled in dirt. Come on and do the lighting. Maeterlinck's prophecy. (Detroit News.) Think of Maurice Maeterlinck, twenty years ago, meditating on his native land, Belgium. And as hoi mcdnatcd, behold a vision rose before him, even as visions rose before Isiiah and L'zekicl. And lie wrote ' what he saw: "Behold it all by moonlight! (Nothing, nothing in its rightful place!) And you think of a mad woman hailed before the judges, A warship in full sail on the waters of the canal. Birds of the night perched among lilie.. And the knell of a passing bell at the midnight hour of the Angel us! And yonder beneath those domes of glass A group of sick folks halted amid tho meadows. An odor of ether abroad on the sunny air!" MANY absurd war stories have been published. Here is another. A German, disguised as an Arab, has been arrested by the British. But What The Till: GROUCHY GUARDSMAN. (Utfayette Courier.) Occasionally the national guardsman with a perpetual grouch makes his presence in the community felt. He thinks that members of the organized miiltia lack encouragement. He feels that the guardsmen are unappreciated and makes himself believe that he should enjoy civil privileges withheld from other men. Admitting that our militia men are not given quite as much opportunity to enter the regular army as they might be and granting that there are occasional cases o! mistreatment there is little reason to believe that the grouchy guardsman fairly represents the state's soldiers. He is an exception and we sometimes doubt if he is half fo discontented as he pretends to be. Tho only reward of the guardsman is the knowledge that he effectively serves his state and his country. He is looked to for the performance of heroic duty in behalf of his country when it needs help. He belongs to the lirst line of its defense. Ho is not regarded by his fellow citizens as a. ward to be oared for or as a parasite. They look up to him and thoroughly appreciate the work he is doing. With the experimental work the United States army has tindertaken with a view to forming an effective reserve lie has no concern at all. He is not of the reserve but of the lirst line. If he comprehends the responsibility placed upon him he is striving, with all his might in his hours of military practice to Jit himself to bear it. He is inspired by a patriotic pride in his country and a desire to serve it. Men of that sort soon become good soldiers and strive to fit themselves to be otlicers. The few discontented guardsmen may occasionally render good service to their comrades by complaining of real grievances, but as a general thing they are bores. A man who is always wondering "what there is in militia service for him" would be better off out of the service, and there are so few men of that quality in the national guard at present that their withdrawal would be seareclv missed. AITFHMATH OF THF WAR. (Terre Haute Star.) A writer o:i financial topics calls attention to a phase of the present war which is not generally taken into consideration. The heritage of hate that is being stored up between the belligerents is destined to play an important part in their affairs long after the contest of arms has been closed. Tiie sentiments that are being aroused and tin animosities that are encendered will figure in trade balances long after ptace has been declared. That feeling, of course, is twoedged and will work both ways. It will hurt each of the belligerents, to Je sun . but will be inot injurious to the one with most to lose. The writer has co.npiled statistics to show that Germany will be the heaviest losvr in the exchange of resentments. If it were a'de to force peace on the allies tomorrow, lie estimates that it would sustain a loss of $ 1,000,000,O'oi ;l year m exports to countries that have n cniMttt reil by the lighting". Great Britain. of course, is the heaviest exporter among trie list of nations at war. But some of the best customers are lighting on her side and many others are not fighting at all. The allies might be depended upon to favor Briti-h markets and neutrals probably would go n much the same as before the war, so that the loss of German trade would not be so noticeable to British merchants as would the hostility of the ally ccs-

Nobody pauses to ask if men's intentions are honorable. Everybody agrees that men are groups and 'not a sex. But woman is always in the witness chair. Miss Mary McDowell is one of the most recent to testify. "Lady Alary," as some of her friends in Packingtown are wont to call her. has the faculty of talking beautifully to the point. She told the Association of Commerce about the sort of Chicago women of her group desire. Inoidently she portrayed a pleasant picture. Among other things she said: The modern city is tested by its human output. What the women of Chicago want is a human output which will guarantee the future of American democracy. That comes very near being a creed for a large section of America, for the portion of the population who still cleave to the tradition of Lincoln. The human output is the test of the city. The city is great only insofar as it contributes to the greatest happiness of the greatest number. A truism, perhaps, but likewise a yardstick by w hich many of the most baffling1 of municipal problems may be measured. sounrrY noti:. (Kokomo Tribune's Cor. from any Georgia Paper.) A pleasing; lynching was enjoyed at a park near this city last evening. The hosts were in full mask cotume. The sheriff laughingly turned over the prisoner when courteously requested to do so. and the party, in high spirits, caroling joyous songs, rode to the beautiful hillside selected for the touching ceremony. The occasion was all that coald be desired. Never has the chivalry of the old south shown to better advantage. Always eager to do anything that would help the advancement of Geoorgia, most of the population of the central part of the state turned out for the event. There was a pleasing diversion when, before the rope was stretched, Col. Blank, with true southern courUsy, kicked the prisoner in the face. The colonel was heartily cheered, but took hs honors modestly. He hoped, he said, he knew the duties of i true son of the south, and he would ill wear the name of southern gentleman if he did not occasionally perform some little act to deserve it. The prisoner was allowed to hang for five hours, so that all could enjoy the sf ectacle becoming, alas: too rare in our fair Ftate. Special arrangements were made by the committee to allow the children to feast their eyes to the full on the happy sight, so that the little minds might b brought to a real appreciation of the honor ard dignity and chivalry of dear old Georgia. At bust the occasion, as all others must, came to an end. The body was taken down, the face was duly stamped on. ar.d the guests departed to their plea-ant homes, hoping to see many happy returns of the day. A WATHULOO Bill BOSS HAHXFS. (Terre Haute .tar.)
