by some one for him. indianapolis

AGAINST GOOD HORSES
Long Sought Races At New
castle Today.

A number Of well-known horses was
entered against Mayor Zimmerman's
Long Sought in the 2:17 pace at New
castle this afternoon. In spite of this,
however. the mayor hoped to drive his
big bay gelding to win, and he is con-
fdent that Long Sought can nose his
way to the front for the required three
heats.
The mayor is not a gambler, and
will not put money on his horses even
though it is through this means that
many owners find horse racing profit
able. He claims that he entered the
game for his health years ago.
1t is believed that Lon Boyd and
Frank Lackey with their strings of
Cambridge City horses will have some
fast entries during the Newcastle fair.
Several prominent horsemen from
neighboring states have brought their
horses here to enter in the Indiana
fairs, and will be part of the program
at the same fairs in which thinner
man enters Long Sought.

Soda Water Has Boom

From Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t is a weIl-known observation Of his
torians that the ultimate result of any
discovery upon the human race is not the
problem a savant is striving to answer.
The use of carbquic acid gas was not
the immediate purpose of either Van
Helmont or Lavoisler, yet in the light of
of subsequent history, and the further
investigations of DR.. Priestley and others
the evolution of the soda water industry
is direct consequence of their contribu-
tons to a science which in their day was
still wearing the swaddling clothes OF
alchemy. These pioneers IN chemistry
little dreamed of the commercial achieve
ment that the gent whose hands they had
loosened were to accomplish in the years
to come, but the facts they interpreted
and placed on record served to put in
motion the creative energies of men who
saw a material side in the discovery and
proceeded forthwith to build great in
dustry. The story of the beginnings of
this evolution is Interestingly told in the
Pharmaceutical Era by L. A. Becker, in
a contribution on the Development of
the Soda Water Industry" an industry
which has been fruitful of many inven-
tons. added to our country's resources,
supplied many of it's real needs, and con-
tributed not a little to the enjoyment Of
mankind.

The Courage of Conviction.

1t would be a good thing if all banks
that felt dissatisfied with the Secre-
tary of the Treasury's order relative 10
the payment OF interest on public de-
posts would follow the example of
the Chemical National Bank, of New
York, which has declined further de-
posts on the proposed terms.
Instead of pursuing this course-a
logical one to all those who are COM
planning OF the new order of things
banks appear disposed to manifest their
displeasure simply by complaints. This
not only is unwise. but it fails to fur
nish the test OF the Treasury policy
that would be applied if influential
banking institutions should display the
courage OF their convictions.
So long as they fail to do so, an al
most unanswerable argument is fur
nished those who desire the adoption
of the interest policy, as by their con-
tinued holding of the deposits the
banks show that they believe the ad-
vantage to be sufficient to warrant the
retention of the funds.

Why France Speeds Her Dreadnoughts

France. which of late years Jagged
behind the other European powers in
naval development, is beginning to take
on speed in her naval building pro-
gramme. Seven Dreadnoughts are
either being built or authorized and
four more are to be constructed by the
end of next year. These out of the
way, more are to be planned for.
The Dreadnought idea failed to find
ready acceptance with French naval
designers, who preferred compromise
ships, something like the plans favored
by our own experts. Their ideal was
a more handy vessel of moderate di-
mansions. The first real Dreadnoughts
to fy the French tri-color were the
Jean Bart and the Courbet, authorized
by Parliament in 1910. Each is of 23,4oo
tons displacement.
We believe that the significance Of
this sudden change in France from
more conservative ideas in warship
construction is to be found in the re-
quirements of the Anglo-French "un-
Outstanding" because powerful
French feet in the channel would be
of great help to Great Britain, should
the latter ever come to open hostilities
with some other European power.

That Hall of Archives.

The plan to erect a hall of archives
IN which TO house valuable Federal
documents does not seem TO meet with
speedy announcement The supervis,
ing architect of the Treasury declares
that unless the Appropriations Com
mittee. which is soon to be named, re-
ports z bill this summer, granting the
$1,000 authorized for designs in the last
public building act, there IS likely to
be long delay in getting started on
the hall of archives, as such acts do
not appropriate the money they specify
The appropriation itself must be made
later in a separate bill
Unless deficiency bill is put
through, containing the above item, the
granting of the funds most likely will
go over until the regular session OF
Congress next December. Not until
then will the preliminary sketches be
made: nor will the Treasury ask for
the appointment of a commission to
go abroad to study foreign archives
buildings until the supervising archi-
tect has completed such preliminary
sketches.
The building OF this structure, there
fore. is up to Congress for want OF
the funds needed. The last act pro-
vided that the designs and estimates
for the new hall OF archives shall be
for a building to cost-complete-not
more than ST, 10000, the law requiring
Consultation with the best authori-
ties OF Europe and also, that before
the designs and estimates are COM
pleted. inspection shall be made,
under the direction of the Secretary
of the Treasury, of the best national
archives buildings in Europe"
As this provides for repeated trips
to Europe. it may be as well to inform
those interested that the Austrian hall
of archives at Vienna is the best and
most appropriate building of its kind
in the world.

Committees of manufacturers who

into the ear Of Secretary of Commerce
Redfield, in connection with the forth
coming tariff bill, find it a tough propo-
sition trying to make progress with

Redfield has nothing to do with franz
ing the tariff bill, of course. but mas
much as he is regarded as a tariff ex-
pert, is, manufacturer himself, and is
in the Cabinet, he is the first man that

bee line for when they come here to OPP

One manufacturer told him the other

tons. They were such casual little
questions. asked as II for no other pur-
pose than to make chat, that the manu-

little while Redfield had information
showing that the manufacturer had in
creased his capital stock six times with

reality he was paying several times 9
