 Indianapolis. Ind. July 27.-A re markable surgical operation has just been performed at the Deaconess hos pital in this city on Vincent Mcdowell by Dr John Kolmer, brain specialist. 10 correct criminal tendencies of the youth. who recently stole a pocketbook from Mrs Augustus Musellman while she was kneeling at confessional in St Mary's church. There was over S100 in the pocketbook and the boy started to see the world. He was ar rested within a week at Jersey City and returned to Indianapolis.
 After thorough investigation Judge George Stubbs of the juvenile court. a deep student of criminology. decided 10 turn the boy over to the specials. for an operation believing that. it might correct him. An electric tre- phine was used by Dr Kolmer.
 An incision was made in the scalp in the center of the forehead at the point where the hair began From that point straight through the middle of the head the trephine plowed mar row furrow to point about one-half way down the back Of the head.
 An incision was also made from this furrow 10 the right for several inches. The patient was on the operating table less than two hours and rallied splen- didly from the anaesthetics.
 Dr Kolmer was pleased with the operation and believes it will be sue cessful. His theory is that in addition to the i'll effects of an old fracture the boys brain lacked room for devel- opment. The purpose of the furrow in the forehead was to open the skull so the brain would have room to de yelop to normal size. The furrow will soon fill with soft bony substance and the pressure on the brain will be removed.
 At places the boys skull was an inch and half thick. The boy suffered an attack of brain fever when years old. He once fell from housetop and again from a high brick wall. As ha grew older his criminal tendencies seemed to increase and he became af iicted with sudden spells of wrong doing.

''Newspaper Diplomacy"
A new diplomacy has taken its
place in the Courts Of the World. It's
exponents are the statesmen of the
United States and it's cardinal principle
is that truth stands first, the greatest
weapon of the diplomat, the only
method Of dealing with nations worthy

and war was raging merciless end

West American amba ssadors said
plainly at Madrid that this war must
cease, that Spain must bring peace to
this colony or we would interfere.
Trained in the old school, Spain meas

diplomacy To her, words were meant
to conceal the meaning of the diplo-

words were intended to express direct

world knows the result The Ameri-

try are men of usual avocations capable
Of filing diplomatic positions without
special training. Because our policy
is to tell the truth and express in Wig

The usual definition of diplomacy is,
"Dexterity or sku IN securing advant-

We are accustomed to agree that the
game Of politics, as played before us,
is game Of dishonesty and fraud.

you are building a character without

in all city papers of standing that ev-

willful variation is sufficient cause for
dismissal. This is more and more the
rule in the newspaper business and
should be in every office from which

FRED BARNETT APPOINTED.

Commissioners Name Him for County
superintendent 10 PIN Vacancy.
Fred Barnett, a graduate OF the Uni
versity of Kansas, and holder of a
state certificate, is county suPerintend-
ent of Sherman county by appointment,
by the board of county commissioners
Friday, to Ill the unexPired term, the
vacancy occurring through the resigna-
ton of John Reed, assistant principal
of the GOOdland schools.
Mr.. Reed, since he has held his posi-
ton IN the GoOdland schools, has been
unable to carry out the statute require
ments incumbent upon county superin-
tendents, and therefore recently surren-
dered that Office, which was filed by
the county commissioners appointing
Mr.. Barnett, who holds until May.
Mr. Barnett is well qualified for the
Office, and the commissioners could not
have selected a more competent person.
1t came to him unsought. He ap-
preciates the honor, and has expressed
his determination to visit every school
in Sherman county before the first of
May. Such a course viii be approved
by the teachers of the county, as well
as by the general public which has come
to discern the fact that the county
superintendent of schools, if he ful6lls
both the written and the unwritten du-
ties of his Office, is necessarily a very
busy individual.
The county superintendent of Sher-
man county should get more than a
bOard-and room salary. You can't
squeeze a thousand dollars worth of
work out of a FIVE hundred dollar Of
hcer. More pay, and greater efficiency,
is the equation.

HOvement BY a Few CItizans Go Stsrt
an Organization.

There are two kinds Of peOble in the
world: One that puts of locking the
barn until the horse IS stolen, and the
other that acts as if best safety lies
in fear. This applies to fire protection,
and It has been suggested by V. ".
Goodrich that a FIRE company be organ
lied IN GOOdland. To start a good
thing along Mr.. Goodrich says he has
SI.OO to start a public subscription for
funds, and he knows two more persons
that viii give $500. That makes SII.OO.
Do we hear any more?
Mr. Goodrich says he's not so young
as he used to be, but If It comes to a
showdown he would be willing to crawl
out of warm bed on a frosty morning
and tug a hose cart at the alarm of FIRE.
That wouldn't be any more than he has
done in the past, when about two years
ago he showed public spirit at the time
Darling's barn burned. MethOdically
enough, he and one other man rushed
TO the water works for the hose cart
The rest of the town ran swiftly to the
FIRE. OF these two courses It is hard to
determine which was wisest. The fel-
lows who ran straight to the FIRE could
do nothing; neither could Goodrich and
his lieutenant, for in trying to start the
cart, their very eyes bulged out with
effort while the wheels, rusted to the
axles, scrubbed along like sleigh-ruuners
on the ground.
It was a bad job all around-sadder
helplessness, though, followed in less
than half an hour when on that same
day, a whole business block was COM
pletely fre-swept. The wheels of the
hose cart are rusted fast yet.
That little old bit of wisdom from
Shakspere is true now as when he
wrote It: Best safety lies in fear
