COMMUNICATIONS
FORGETTING ALL ABOUT PUBLICITY.

Prior to the presidential election a great deal was heard about public
control Of corporations and publicity for municipal, state and county affairs,
but since that time all the successful candidates have grown remarkable
quiet about all thees subjects It is plain that the peope must get out
and fight for the measures of prevention against corruption in both our
corporation and municipal life Every municipality and every state should
have its bureau of information and the officials of this bureau should have
the power to examine the books and Offices of al public officials and cor
poratons doing business under protection of the government Publications
of responsibility should have access to the information n this public bureau
and politicians should have access tt it for the purpose of attacking candi
dates On the opposite political side. After the people have been swtndled
and public funds have been wasted by officials who are allowed to work
under cover, it does the people no good to zee this men SEM to prison.
What W need to advance publicity to prevent corruption and this W e will
never get without a fight, which re might as well start Immediately.

OPPORTUNITY.
Is the old adage, which is the theme
Of Ingalls, poem, that Opportunity
knocks but once at every mans door"
a true one?
Or
Is it true, as some one has said, that
Opportunity knocks at our doors ev-
cry day, but that few of us take the
trouble to GET UP AND OPEN THE
DOOR?
There is the old illustration Of New
ton and the falling apple. Newton got
up and opened the door of his mind.
Opportunity came in in the guise of
an idea. And that idea changed the
worlds thinking.
Many of us mufie our ears when
Opportunity knocks.
Napoleon never did that. Opportu-
nifty never knocked at his door in vain.
His thinking was always ahead of his
foes thinking. He got up in the morn
ing before the enemy got up-if he
had to stay up all night. If the other
general had a larger army, Napoleon
segregated 1t into sections and whip
ped the sections one at a time.
Opportunity is an early riser.
Ethan Allen took Ticonderoga while
the garrison was asleep and did it II
'the name of Jehovah and the Cont
mental congress" He had no author
ity from either. But he had his op
portunity.
Opportunity is a great friend Of US
If we recognize it.
Opportunity changes the battle o.
Winchester from defeat to victory; i
is the Funston that obliterates rivers
from the map; it puts to rout thu
armies of the aliens; 1t turns the fanl
Of the foe by stratagem; it controls
circumstances and makes a way 70
itself.
Young man
Opportunity is rapping. Keep you
ears open!
More than that, young man
Keep your EYES open. You ma,
be able to see Opportunity before
knocks at your door-while it knock
at some other mans door. Let th
other mar turn over in bed and pa
no attention when Opportunity come
a-calling. Let him shut his eyes an
go 1t blind.
Sheridan never did that.
Nor Peter Cooper.
Nor John Wanamaker.
The successful ones, every time an
everywhere, kept eyes and ears bot
open, everywhere and all the time.
OPPORTUNITY PRESSES TIL
e BUTTON. YOU MUST Do tn
REST.

WE WONDER WHAT NEXT.

Well, it is very hard to tell what correspondents from Washington will
take to describing next The Indianapolis Star has begun to tell its readers
about the anatomy N exhibition in Washington society and yesterday de-
picted the charms in a number of ladies' backs. Vide:
THE deconetage nowadays is cut in a V almost literally down to
the waist line. afordfng an unbhushng array of spinal column, without
even so much as a porous plaster to intercept the view. Mrs. Long
worth has a particularly smooth, beautiful back, with a dimpled scapu
lar suggestion. Miss Katherine EMns, more slender than Mrs. Long
worth, wears little more than a long V in the res of her decoIetage,
the stately expanse of white flesh cleaning like a pearl"
After the description of Salome nudity. in New York, however, this
Washington stuff is rather tame and we trust the Star will be sure and give
us all the details and stick to the truth. We shall expect to read that: Mrs.
Shotskerhs decoHetage a rather rough and a number of moles were count
ed n the scapuar region" and also that Miss Belkins wore little more
than a wide o in the ear of Ter decoLehge the tract of white flesh being
rather notified, owing to the draft in the ball room and the freckles cleaned
amazingly" And in the meantime we trust that n says anything about
