WAS KIND TO WAR PRISONERS

Last Monday the Stars and Bars and
the Stars and Stripes ttOated along
side of each other on the dome of the
state capitol of Indiana when bronze
bust Of Col Richard Dale Owen, com
mander of a regiment of Indiana sol
diers during the war between the
states, was unveiled. The bust was
the gift OF Confederate soldiers and
other Southern people, and cost about
three thousand dollars. The present
alton speech was made by Gen. Ben
nett H. Young, commander n-chief' OF
the Confederate Veterans, and the
speech of acceptance on the part OF
the state of Indiana, by Thomas X.
Marshal yice-president Of the Unit
ed States. In the vast audience which
witnessed the ceremonies We're rep
resentatives of both the United Con
federate Veterans and the Grand Ar
, my of The Republic.
The idea which led to this tribute
to the memory of Colonel Owen orig
mated with Col. S. A. Cunningham, ed
itor of the Confederate Veteran. Col
onel Owen was commandant of Camp
Morton, a noted prison for the con-
fnement of Confederate prisoners, in
1862 and Colonel Cunningham, then a
prisoner, was one of those under his
charge. While Colone Owen was in
command of Camp Morton he was dill
ligent in all that he could do to anne
liorate the privations of prisoners un-
der his authority. Indeed, he was so
considerate that Edwin M. Stanton,
the implacabIe federal secretary of
war, finally relieved him from COM
mand of the prison and sent him to
the front, replacing him with a man
in whom the humanities were of neg
lible quality and quantity. But the
Confederates who were in Camp Nor
ton while Colonel Owen was in charge
never forgot his kindness. Fort

The New Spirit In America.

The New Spirit In America.
President Woodrow Wilson in
Worlds Work: What | am in
9erested in is having the Govern
sment of the United States more
concerned about human rights
than about property rights.
Property is an instrument of hui
naanity; humanity isn't an in
strument of property. And yet
when you see some men riding
their great industries as if they
were driving q car of Jugger-
maui. not looking to see what
multitudes PROSTATE themselves
before the car and lose their
hives in the crushing effort to
Gheir industry, you wonder how
long men are going to be per-
united to think more of their
machinery than they think of
their men. Did you ever think
of ii? men are cheap, and ma
vchinery is dear; many super
1ntendent is dismissed for over
driving a delicate machine, who
wouldn't be dismissed for over
driving an overtaxed man. You
can discard your man and re-
place him; there are others
: 7seady to come into his place !;
but you can't without great cost
discard your machine and put a
anew one in it's place. You are
apt, therefore to look upon your
men as the essential vital foun-
dation part of your whole bust
ness. 1t is time that property,
as compared with humanity,
should take second place, not
first place. We must see to it
that there is no overcrowding,
Ghat there is no bad sanitation,
that there is no unnecessary
spread of avoidable diseases,
that the purity of food is safe
guarded, that there is every pre-
caution against accident, that

;sible tasks, nor are children per-
mitted to spend their energy be-

MAKING BUTTER CHEAPER.

From the South Bend Tribune. Monday.
May 5. 1919.

From the South Bend Tribune. Monday
May 5. 1918.
The proposal of the tariff thinkers to
lower the price Of butter for the dear pee
pul by removing the duty is one of those
manifest absurdities that try the patience
OF our Jobs. For 1t remains in evidence
that the price of butter is high the world
over and that the removal! of the tariff
i would affect it in nowise.
III congress really wishes to dc some
thing to make butter cheaper In this
country of ours. let 1t remove those u,,-
just and absurd restrictions tina are
thrown about ti:e manufacture and sale of
nisom ea unon {; ~ ha ,na that We're
In the politically sanctioned and holy
name of the honest farmer.
The only restrictions that should be
oiaced upon the maaufacturers Of oleo-
the wh-olesomeness of the product and a
proper labelling of 1t. If this were the
case. millions of people would use it who
today shun 1t because of it's color and an
lnWaflanted prejudice created by an UNI
fair federal proscription.-South Bend
Tribune, May 5. 1913.
Inc South Bend Tribune did not send
the above to this newspaper. but some
body who appreciated it as an argu-
rnent did have it reprinted and for
warded by first class post.
Why should he want it put into conn
petltloh With oleomargarine in. dis
guise?
The article as a whole illustrates the
difficulty of making a tariff bill
rather the difficulties placed in the
way of making an homes and fair one.
why should oleomargartne be mixed
with butter in this case any more than
in any other?

Ri.kins Life Before Camera.

Miss Kathlyn Williams, of the Selig
company. has had many narrow es-
capes from death, while acting for
the moving pictures.
She is the bravest woman / have
ever met" avs f.. II. Montagu, of
the Selig company, in the June Wide
World magazine. Indeed, | do not
thiNk she knows the meaning of fear.
and she is able to exercise a quite re-
markable influence over even the most
savage animals,
Notwithstanding this. however, Miss
Williams has had many narrow es-
capeS. one of the closest WAS when
she was playing in a film called Lost
in the Jungle" Many thousands OF
people all over the world have seen this
remarkable production, and a large pro-
greatly at seeing Miss Williams hurled
TO the ground ii mauled by a huge
leopard, which leaps out upon her
from a clump of bamboo.
This effect was not produced by a
trick of the camera. 1t actually hap
pened. But il was an u~nrehearsed in
cident, or at least unintended. and Miss
Williams says she would not go through
IT again for 100000. 1t was originally
meant that the leopard should only
appear to leap out on the actress. it's
spring really being directed toward a
goat tied out of range Of the camera.
At the critical moment. however. Miss
Williams raised one of her hands for
an instant to brush back a stray tress
of hair. n the movement. slight
though 1T Was, sufficed to attract the
animals attention to her. I
Instead OF going for the goat, it
bounced upon the actress, bowled her
over, and fixed it's claws into her scalp,
Her wealth of beautiful hair saved her
somewhat. but she was pretty badly
hurt. and had h not had the pres
ence of min to lie perfectly still until
rescued. she wou.a have been ciawed
to death. The CAMERA man, too, kept
his head and never ceased turning away
at h handle OF his machine, the re-
