Never has philanthropy, humanitarian

though we must all beware of the folly
and the viciousness no worse than folly,
which marks the believer in the perfec-
tibility of man when his heart runs away
with his head or when vanity usurps the

Der also that it is only by working along
the lines laid down by the philanthropists.
by the lovers of mankind, that we can
be sure Of lifting our civilization to a
higher and more permanent plane of we'll
being than was ever attained by any pre-
ceding civilization. Unjust war is to be
abhorred: but woe to the nation that does
not make ready to hold it's own in time
of need against all who would harm it;
and woe thrice over to the nation in
which the average man loses the fighting
edge, loses the power to serve as SOL
der if the day of need should arise
1t is no impossible dream to build up
civilization in which morality, ethical de-
velopment, and true feeling of brother
hood shall alike be divorced from false
sentimentality and from the rancorous
and evil passions which, curiously enough,
so often accompany professions or senti-
mental attachment to the rights of man:
in which a high material development in
the things of the body shall be achieved
without subordination of the things Of
the SOUL in which there shall be genu-
inc desire for peace and justice without
loss of those virile qualities without which
no love of peace or justice shall avail any
race; in which the fullest development Of
scientific research, the great distinguish
ing feature of our present civilization,
shall yet not imply belief that intellect
can ever take the place of character-for.
from the standpoint Of the nation as of
the individual, it is character that is the
one vital possession.

Although 1T is rather early to expect
very many of the candidates to make
their political announcements. there are
a number of them in the field. The
greatest interest is in the contest for
the office of county surveyor There
are already two candidates in the field,
Murphy of Crown Point and Seeley of

There are also number of candi-
dates for the office of county treasurer
swanson of Hobart and Hill of Ham
mond are in the race. while it is said
that there are others who will get in if
the water looks fine
There seems to be considerable besi-
fancy on the part of prospective candi-
dates to make their announcements for
the office of state senator The sit
uation was not relieved when Bowser
announced that he would not run. for
ne was counted a dead one anyway.
II Is expected that the meeting sat
uroay Will bring out some new candi-
dates, and Indiana Harbor will be the
mecca for all republican politicians
The county central committee will moot
there tomorrow afternoon, and while
the principal business is the fixing Of
the date Of the county convention and
the selection of a place to meet vat
1T will give the prospective candidates
q cnance to get into touch with The
