j Huh' j of course, we would all llko to have th president of I the Tnltfd States vinit &jtith Üer.d. He i t be in Jn-

dfanapolis the li'th to deliver an address on "Good Iloadd day." Were it a week earlier it mUht have leen possible a week or so nco, t hook the centennial up with that trip to Indiana, and by a proper process, indnre him to extend the length of his stay, and of his trip through the Hoosier Ftate. However the ti .e-bear-prf guardians, r.f that xeale sii(r racket were not worrying over that phaxe of it, nor over having their Inviation rejected. They merely wanteJ a spectacular trip to the capital; this along with the publicity that would accrue to having along with them a message in a "sealed silver casket." for WooJrow Wilson, president. If the gentleman with a federal military automobile brigade up his sleeve wants to exploit it racing across the country with messagfs to the president, well and good, and those who wish to join him in his exp!oi, have the right, but they needn't tack it onto the centennial celebration as an excuse. The centennial management has a higher j-ense. of the proprieties. The centennial association can proudly disclaim anv part in Kuch propaganda. This method of doing thing would be all right were the invitation being extended 10 Jess Willard. but not w hen it is the president of the United States. Why within the time left, it would be almost necessary for the "joy-riders" to kidnap the president and bring iiim back with them, in order to get him here and we don't want any such scandals connected with the centennial as that.

PROPHECY IN FICTION. The novelists are the true with. Marvelous as the iüoo-.ations of the war have been, there is hardly one of them that ;i.s r.a forts, e.n, and ew n described, by .omu imaginative writer long before it appeared. Zcn-dins ami their ft-ats were furc-hidowcd In KipliiiKs s-tory. "With the NUht Mnil." And the two craft have much in common, although Kiplings was of the h-;t.w-r-th:in-air type. There is little about the urtat submarine Deutschland that was not imagined by Jub-s Verne when he de-.vcribi-1 Capt. Neiho's Nautilus. A l'ritish author it was Arnold I'.ennett. wasn't it? for told in a nuel several years aK the very .sort of submarine blockade that Germany has tried to impose on the llritish isle:-. II. G. Wells, in his "War of the Worlds," pictured the Martians as using a suffocating black ga.s, such as the Germans have used in this war; a "heat ray" which destroyed men at a distance, inevitably scK''esting the Germans' liquid fire; and '.ast but not least, an irresistible armored car. With that car the Martian Invaders cru.-hed guns, slaughtered men. plowed through woods and over olta b s. crushed brick walls and did the very thing- that the British "Willies" are doing today. Thus notion gets itself realized. Oscar Wilde used to s y that nature is always trying to imitate art. It look3 .-rv m ich as if fa't is frying to imitate fiction.

TEACHING 'EM OUR GAME. Now just see what Mr. Hughes is getting for us by .oing around preaching high protection! The Hritish, that "nation of traders," is swinging around to high protection against t:s, and we're the party who has and tmu.-t hae the balance of trade against Hurope. London chamber of commerce demands abrogation of the "most favored nations" treaty with us and the adoption of graded tariffs, which means abandonment of P.ritain's fr-e. trade p'di ies. : .ir. 1u;-1ks has probably coninced the I'.ritish that "the foreigner pays the tax" and. after the war, Hie I'.ritish are going to be real sav.ie in the matter of getting all they can out of the foi eigner. Gonress has empowered our president to "retaliate." This may be tine in theory, only it happens that we have the big balance of trade, and. hence, the other fellow can best at.ord to bear down heawly on retaliation. It is amusing, as well us serious, to note, that that lymdon chamber of commerce is shrieking for "antidumping" laws. Gosh: are those I'.ntishers going to make us swallow our own medicine, bottle by bottle'.'

HOPE AND MEDICINE. Dr. James J. Walsh of the Fordham University School of Medicine, speaking on the treatment of tuberculosis, says: "It cannot be insisted too emphatically that there is never a time in the course of the disease when a physician is justified in saying to, a patient suffering from any form of tuberculosis that his case is hopeless. Practically every town in this country has a number of cases in which patients were told by physicians that there was no hope, and yet have lived to chronicle a? often as they get the chance the fact that they have outlived their physician. "There are cases in which the prognosis is o unfavorable as to be almost lopeless. There are never cases of ' which it should be said there 's no hope. When patients are told, as they so often are, that they are incurable, absolutely no good is done and harm is inevitable. Experienced physicians agree that it is the same with most other disea.se.. - Hope is a factor so potent In the eure of human ailments that its Vail medicinal value has never been realized. The expectation of life, even when it is merely passive, is infinitely more favorable to recovery than the expectation of death. The fear of death is apt to bring its own realization when a weakened body gives it half a chance. People have, often foretold their own death, and died on the very day they named. And it has been asserted, no doubt truly, that such cases do not necessarily indicate foreknowledge of something to occur, but rather indicate that the fixed belief that death I approaching is itself responsible 'for death's arrival. As for the active "will to live," every doctor recognizes in that the most vital, decisive contribution that can be added to hin own treatment. And in a perfectly frank and honest mood, the doctor is likely to admit that in the majority of cases, active hope of recovery without his medicines would be better than the medicines without the hope. It is this principle that forms the bases of all cures, r

THE FOOD OF THE FUTURE. A Los Angeles scientist named Adams Dixon Warner says he has solved the food problem. Hight years ago, inspired by a perception of the waste, expense and general inetficiency attending our dietary system, he set about to discover a simple, inexpensive ami universally adaptable food for mankind. At last, after many thousand experiments, he has succeeded. FYoin peas, beans, lentils, walnuts, peanuts and various cereals, fruits and vegetables, he has worked out a. combination of twenty-

NKW YORK, Sept. 27. The falsity and partisan unfairness of repuhlican attacks upon the child labor law. participated in by Candidate Hughes as well as by his campaign managers, is demonstrated in i signed statement of Albert P.. Cummins, republican United States senator from Iowa, made public today. Sen. Gummirs has been a leader among pi oLTessive republicans. Characterizing the allegc-d discovery by Chairman Wilcox ot the republican national committee of a "joker" in the chili labor law as "without any foundation whatsoever." and stigmatizing the persons who have been giving it publicity as "either insincere or incompetent," Sen. Cummins riddles the claims of Mr. Hughes. He declares the child labor law as enacted by congress and signed by Pres't Wilson is certain to "effectuate the humane purposes toward which the friends of child labor legislation have for a long time been striving." Chairman Wlllcox astounded the friends of child labor reform by characterising the democratic measure as "a fraud and a sham." Candidate Hughes not only countenanced this deliberate misrepresentation by his campaign manager, but in a speech at Milwaukee, soucht himself to belittle and discredit the law. "Insituvtv or Inor)miotrnt.' Sen. Cummins views are set forth In a letter to Owen It. Lovejoy, general secretary of the national child labor committee, written Sept. 23. The senator's letter follows:

"I have just read your letter of!

the 20th instant, suggesting that certain critics of the recently enacted child lahor law claim to have discovered a joker or Jokern in the act whicii reflect upon either the integrity or intelligence of those who are responsible for its passage. These criticisms are without any foundation whatscover and the persons who are giving them publicity are either insincere or incompetent. "The child labor law received in the senate committee and on the Moor of the senate the most exhaustive consideration, and those of us who were for it fmployed the utmost care to exclude every possible objection to its validity consistent with its effectiveness. All of us understood that there was in the hill a serious constitutional cjuestion. which could not be avoided and which could be answered conclusively only by the supreme court of the United States, but. in other respects, the act is. I believe, without a flaw. Says Charges Will Heart. "If republicans are making any such charge against the law in order to discredit the administration, the effort is disreputable and must react upon those who are foolish enough to give currency to the

charge. If democrats are endeavoring to impeach the good faith of the republicans who helped to compose and pass the bill, they are guilty of a flagrant offense against public morals. "Assuming that the supreme court decides, if the cjuestion ever reaches that tribunal, that congress can regulate interstate commerce in this wa, the act will be found so effective that it will end for all time the employment of children under conditions forbidden m the statute. The claim, if it is made, that the prohibition of the statute can le evaded by retaining the output of a mine, quarry, mill, cannery, workshop, factory, or manufacturing establishment for 30 days after children have been employed, and that then the output miy be shipped from the state of production to some other state, is too absurd for consideration. "Thirty Day" Story Ridiculous. "With rare exceptions these industrial establishments are continuous in their operation, and the notion that they can he so organized as to employ child "en in the prohibited work one month and then dismiss them and run a month without children, after which the output of the previous month wiil be shipped, and then re-employ children for another month and so on ad infinitum, is supremely ludicrous. "It was absolutely necessary to fix a time, otherw ise a child once improperly employed in any establishment would end forever the right of the establishment to ship its output beyond the state. Uven the seasonal establishments, such as canneries, can not hold their output days alter the season closes. 1 venture the prediction that no

Please print the following president's proclamation in your muchvalued paper Francis Zdarkus: Wheruas, I have received from the house of representatives of the United States a resolution, passed July -1, PJ16, reading as follows: Whereas, in the various countries now engaged in war. there are four millions of Lithuanians, the greater ihajority of whom are destitute .f food, shelter, clothing, and Whereas, millions of them have been driven from their homes without warning, deprived of an opportunity to make provisions for their most elementory wants, causing starvation, disease, ami untold suffering: and Whereas, the people of the United States of America have learned with sorrow of this plight of millions of human beings, and have most generously responded to the cry of help whenever such an opportunity has reached them; Therefore be it resolved, that in view of the misery, wretchedness and hardships which these lour millions of Lithuanians are suffering the president of the United States be respectfully asked to designate a day on which the citizens of this country may give expression to their sympathy by contributing to the funds now being raised for the relief of the Lithuanians in the war one. And whereas, I feel confident that the people of the United States will be moved to aid a people stricken by war. famine, and disease; Now. therefore. I. Wood row Wilson, president of the United States, in compliance with the request of the house of representatives thereof, do appoint and proclaim Wednesday, Nov. 1. 1'JlC. as a day upon whieh the j eople of the United States may make contributions as they feel disposed for the aid of the stricken Lithuanian people. Contributions may be addressed
