It i. rot surprising that tho con.nsus r? opinion f.f deletr to the rmvrntion of tho American IIot2l Men's association wns that In another 10- years every body will bo living in hotels. The wi'h is ever fathT to thf thought. Undoubtedly the trend H in that dirertinn. Pir.-t In the rvolutlon.'ir," proce-. the hotel men Fay, crime the homo with Karden and tlower bed. Then cum the apartment. Then, a." rnits lnrroasl, and uith thrn th difficulty of ohtninir.fr help, tho family l;Otel seemed the solution of dement ic difTicnltief. hut there Is a ftae b'-yond, which is th individual hnme ncraln only this time with most of the ancient drudt: ry tak n out of it by competent planning and niai'Iiin'r y. Somehow the reports of the building of siiiall individual homes all over the country rather countfrbalanrea tho reports of migration of rity-dwellers to hoteln. The hotel doe?, in leed, eliminate domestic difrlculty. r'.ut lonfr continued, hotel life offers instead the mot deadly forms of boredom. The main purpose of :i hotel is the accommodation of tho transient j:ur. Tlio normal heintr lot not take root in a hotel, lie likes the life only f-o loiifr as he knows it will be followed by a ral home. Increase of travel, of normal enjoyment of hotels, Is a tiling preatly to bo desired in American life. Indications are that through the proper fulfilment of it3 proper function the pood hotel is in for increasing prosperity. But as a permanent proposition, hotel life does well only for people without children and without rane ambitions. Toi asy a life, 1 if r too far removed from tho primitive toich of the earth in ministry to primitive needs, makes weaklings. The instinct for the individual roof-tree is deep-founded in American Ideals of growth, opportunity and liberty. Consider the fate of u nation "f children brought up without kitchens and backyards!

SPIRIT OF DISCOVERY. Scarcely had tho announcement of a N w l'nglnnd prof s;:or that he had Invented a rocket capable of i-hootlntr to th moon been received by th world than he was handed an aprlieation from a man eager to b- iu with the missile to the satellite. Xow he has received nine such applications. They remind us that no matter how hazardous an undertaking proposed th re are always tume ready to try if. Whether it may lv U scribed as mere dare-deviltry or consecration to science and progress, it is of the ;-p!r!t of discover-, that guarantees advancement of knowledge. Here, without waiting to inquire whether the project is feasible ignoring the danger If they ever gave a thought to it are men i'ontestir.rr for tho privilege of risking their llve? by venturing not only upon a new method of human travel, but alo to s t foot upon an object J3S.OC0 miles from earth and t st whether life can exist on it. While we tallc learnedly cf the moon and in comparison w'ith the distance between here and the star.- of the other systems as if it were almo.st rubbing is. it becomes deep with mystery and at A vast ditanc win n we t;eak of trawling to it. Yet it in to br- only th initial trip in rocket traveling. After exploring the moon., the next trips are to b millions of miles in length instead of hundreds cf thousands; to Mars, and Venus, from 33,000,000 to 4 0,000,000 miles from arth. While no end of flippant remarks may be mad.; on the t-ubjoct. and particularly when most of us have about all we can do to shoot to the high co.-t of living, there something majestic about it that shrivels ridicule and add to confidence in the capacity ar.d oVstir.y of the human ran-. Nothing hau ever bt-en found to daunt the "human element" the cravens in war are always exceptions. A frail little mother, though she might ho startled by i mou would defy fire, flood, cannon or nny other terror to save her child. Science has always found th "human eminent" ready to test any device, whether it railed for fioing under the crour.d, int.) the depths of th sea. or into the air. Man i so much bifrfrr than any of the material instruments ho can devise; he Is impatient because his faxest means cf travel does not carry him many times fAHter, und even before h has learned how to povrn the earth, ho trying to chart the universe and interpret how its Fst-m L- r'Jfi. Trat, some are timid and conservative, hut always there are on hand the dauntless seals when risk is to be run or test to bo made for progress. It is well when thinking of the errors and rai?haps charged to the daring of tho "human element" to give .rme consideration also ;o the heroism and martyrdom of it in the inttrot of industrial and intellectual rrcgros a:- wfll as in war. "Pare deviltry" is not pcen only in physical performances; th man who presents a rew Idea, regardless of the ridieub that usually falls upon hira at :irst. has his claim upon liero.sm us ready to make a try at testing anything. InfaiMe, tht'n, as, tho projertod trip to the moon may strike us. it might be well

not to laugh too much about it. It can aKArcely .eem funnier to us than the notions of Columbus did to om? of those of his time. At any rate, there is thi certainty: If any way can b found of getting; to the moon or to our neighboring planets, there wllj be no lack of volunteers for the trips.

IF SOCIALISTS RULED. The Albany legislature was able to expel its five socialist members, and thus practically disfranchise tho socialist party in New York state, because it had an anti-socialist majority that was willing to take such un-American action. What this procedure might lead to if it became an accepted policy may easily be seen if we imagine the political situation reversed. Hupposo the socialist party should, pome time, in the course of political evolution or in a sudden wave of protest, elect a majority of the state legislature. This Is r.Qt an impossible supposition for New York, and rtlll less so for some other states. That socialist majority would then organize the legislature, as the majority always does. The socialists would establish the rules of procedure and decide the qualifications of members. And tho first thinfc they would do, if they followed thH remarkable precedent would be to expel non-socialist members republicans or democrats, or both together. To follow the precedent completely, they might make this declaration, to explain and justify their action: "The republican and democratic parties of America, as now constituted, and with their present programs, aro not loyal organizations or political parties disgraced occasionally by the traitorous act or declaration of a member, but are disloyal organizations composed exclusively of perpetual tral'ors." This would b harsh language; but It is what the present legi:ative majority at AlKany has said of J ho socialist minority, and it is well known that so cialists as a rule do not think any more of the other parties than tho other parties think of socialists. If anything like this were ev r done, very likely wo should have revolution. That is precisely what the New York legislative majority has Invited by its virtual disfranchisement of socialists. It requires no belief in the fallacies and vagaries of socialism, and no lo"c for the socialist party, to convince any unprejudiced American of the folly of the Albany procedure and the peril it invites.

MUSIC AND UNREST. The recommendation of Charles M. Schwab ot music as a cure for industrial unrest will at least contribute to what gayrty of nations there is. It will be readily admitted that anything that promotes good humor is an enemy of discontent, but in view of tho conduct of Germany, long regarded as one of the most musical nations, there may be raised some questions as to how far music can go in combatting discord in other activities. Besides, music also s an inspiring factor in warmaking. By "thrilling martial airs" men have been led to enlist for fighting, and they have been similarly stimulated to violent charges. TliUH, while "music hath charms to oothe the savago breast, to soften rock.s or bend the knotted oak." it also has something in it to cause a rabbit to spit in the face of a bull dog. Indeed, only recently one of the slacker Hohenzoliern princes was so worked up by a mixture of national anthem and of the demon rum In a Berlin hotel as to cause him to throw rlatos at a Frenchman. Despite all these things, however, no one can dispute that there is enough truth in what tho penial tecl master 6ays to Justify and call for greater uao of music to produce social harmony. In addition to the pleasure that music where the performances are worthy of the nfme always gives, there is tho social value of bands and other musical organizations. Not only are there tho bonds of good fellowship among members, but pride is taken bv the community in having a musical organization ef its own. The mere musical organizations the better.

News comes that Alexander Berkman and Kmnn Goldman cannot get enough to cat in Russia. They might try eating some of the words with which they tried to incite revolution and anarchy In this country.

A French writer declares that Germany is moving Inevitably toward a catastrophe. He possibly means that she Is still pursuing tho course she has been following for six years.

The war was worth what it cost; but this peaco i.-n't worth what it costs.

Tili: ACCKITANCi: OP WILSON'S PLAN FOR nniE. (Philadelphia Lcdser.) The report from Italy that Premier Nitti has sent an emissary to Fin me to notify d'Annunzlo that Italy has decided to accept the Woodrow Wilson terms of settlement while not officially verified irf most probably true. This contemplates tho making of Fiume a free city. It is a coniumation devoutly to be wished. For the plans in the Adriatic and concerning Fiume contemplated by nations of the entente are a brazen repudiation of the principles on which the war was waged. The Wilson plan works no possible hardship on Italy and will be of service to her in the long run. The d'Annunzlo position is t-heer imperialism and cannot be maintained.

Tili: PItOTKST OF Tili: MINKUS PItOPEIl. (Fort Wajiw .Jourruil-Gazottc.) The complaint of Mr. Svarles, representing th United Mine Workers, that the increase proposed hy tho operators in tho price of coal to the consuiru r is ntir ly out of proportion to the wage increase scarcely requires demonstration. It is so clear that the blind can see. Ths purpose of the operators is quite as clear. They assume by this method they cn turn the indignation of the public not against the operators who raise tho price not merely to cover the increased cost of production but to add still more to the pronts of themselves already in many instances scandalous, but against the miners. That the plan represents a conspiracy among the operators will be the general opinion of the country, and if there is no way to Jail conspirators of this sort there ought to be. The increased cost of production because of increases In wages permit in reason a sufficient Increase in iriee to cover the increase in cost, but tho game is and has been right along to lncreas" the price to the people enormously in excess of the increasing cost of production. That is a dangerou? i:ayinjr with lire in these critcial days.

ANOTHER SCOOP. The discovery of three rare paintings, evidently hundreds of years old. has attracted wide attention among the many art enthusiasts of South Bend. The paintings are in water color and are entitled, "Lunch Time." "Catched." and "Asleep at the Switch." Because, of the great age of the paintings, they are in a slightly decomposed condition and aro badly fly trackod, but this does not interfere with the enthusiasm of local art love rs. Throughout the day Friday, art lovers mingled with collectors in the office of Charley Frazier's garage on Lincoln way E., eager to lamp the ancient paintings. The paintings were done by the renowned artist, I. Daub, shortly after the beginning of the 17th century. They were discovered in the bottom of an old barrel in the

i garage, an employe ha'injr started a

search for some heavy oil when an old friend dropped in unannounced from Napanee. Three of the figures on the paintings have been identified as Sam Leeper, Sam Lontz and Charley

' Frazier, but the identity of the ; fourth figure is Ftlll a mystery al

though it Is believed to bo that of old Peter Navarre, th? man who started Navarre place. The paintings were made during a voyage of the four down the St. Joseph river hundreds ,of years ago. Although worth thousands of dollars. Mr. IVazier is offering the paintings free with Ford inner tubes so long hs they last.

A XT. Though the ant is alleged to be wise, He wears himself down to a splinter Collecting the household supplies His family needs for the winter. All summer he rushes around. Excitedly searching for forage, Which ho toilfully drags under ground And carefully places in storage. The grasshopper rates as a fool. And yet in the torridest weather He lolls where the shadows are cool For hours and hours together. What terrors has winter for him. Let others take thought lor the morrow. And, filled with content to the brim, He sings away trouble and sorrow. The ant, we aro frequently told. Keeps hearty and warm through the blizzard. While tho grasshopper dies with the cobl That freezes his 111 nourished gizzard. But while we've no reason to doubt That the ants are remarkably clever, The grasshoppers always come out In the spring, just ixa plenty as ever. The moral, we're sorry' to say, (You may differ as much as you may with it) Seems to teach us that loafing will pay If the loafer can just g-et away with it.

Tho martyrdom of a Spanish maiden called Flora by the Moors in söl redeemed the reputation of Flora as a feminine r.ame and it.s use became widespread in Spain; whence it penetrated France as Florie. Scotland, which has an extraordinary fondness for flower names, adopted it, and .soon it was brought to England where it still
