THEY ARE SLIPPING.

a man IS really known by the
character OF his ass0Ciates,-SOuth
Bend Tribune.
That is what we have been telling
the Tribune-that its association with
the Triumvirs gives the whole thing
away; that the people cannot be de-
ceived by professions Of a disinter-
ested desire 10 serve the city from a
combination of that kind and that
its reputation as a self-seeking insti-
tuition is too well known to be con-
cealed.
The public has pretty thoroughly
analysed" the Tribune and it's CO.
conspirators and found them want
ing in the essential qualities they
profess to possess. The public has
found from this analysis" that the
Tribune and its allies would form a
municipal machine for the control of
the city government and the distri-
button OF the patronage, that they are
attempting 10 take advantage of the
disorganism in the republican party
10 foist a so-called citizens party
upon the city which they hope
through temporary success will place
them in position to dictate the po-
litical policy OF the future.
But instead OF gaining strength
through this analysis" by the public
the citizens movement is steadily
losing ground and instead of grow
ing has become ingrowing. II hasn't
sufficient vitality left TO furnish the
Tribune with material for an opti-
mistic editorial. That paper is in the
frenzy Of despair. resorting 10 Wifi
cation OF the character OF any man
that presumes 10 differ with il and
casting its traditions 20 the winds.
There could be no palmer sign Of
the failure OF the so-cailed citizens
movement than the course the
Tribune has pursued. and the con-
slant sloughing away OF supporters
who were at first blush enamored OF
the independent idea confirms it. The
Tribune and its little circle OF con-
spiratOrs are in trouble. The ground
IS slipping away from beneath their
feet

tied, that Huerta will be urged TO re-
tire from the presidency for the good
OF the country. and that efforts be
made to induce all parties TO abide
by the result Of an election to be held
in October.
Mr.. Lind goes TO Mexico as the
personal representative Of the presi-
dent instead of an accredited agent
OF the government. He will present
his arguments TO Huerta not as presi-
dent of the Mexican republic but as
the leader Of one Of the factions and
his attitude toward the president will
be the same as that toward Carranza.
the insurgent leader.
In a striking degree Mr.. Lind's mis-
sion is TO be an exemplihcation of the
glorifcation Of common sense. He
will appeal TO the rival factions on this
ground. endeavoring to reach their
patriotic sense Of duty to their country
and their responsibility to the civil
LIED world.
Mr.. Lind has been unexpectedly Sc
lected for this mission. 1t was sup
posed John E. Lamb was TO be the
presidents messenger of peace. This
may have been merely a supposition
At any rate the president has decided
TO send Mr.. Lind and must be credited
with good reasons for it until the con
trary appears.
The result of Mr.. Linds visit will be
awaited with deep interest. The sit
| uation in Mexico has become a nation
influence widely. The world will hope
he may bring about a persona
peace for the distracted people.

DO vampires OF VITALITY" SAP YOUR STRENGTH

staff Correspondent.

Staff Correspondent.
CHICAGO. Aug. st has been
discovered at last-a way to foil the
vampires of vitality.
Miss Julia K. Sommer, president of
the Chicago Theosophical society, has
discovered it.
And it's very simple You just
grow an etheric shell around your
self
Maybe you think you're not both
cred by any such vampires. But
listen:
Vampires of vitality" explains
Miss SOmmer, "go about absorbing
energy from stronger personalities
and leaving them depleted. 1t is

We speak Of the high pressure Of
modern city life, the strain that
makes nervous wrecks. But it's
merely the sapping Of vital force by
others, in the home. the office, the
theater. the train, the street.
That's why it makes you so tired
to talk to some people and why it
rests YOU to be in the presence of 9TH

ing your strength. The latter share
their vitality with you. In the later

but let that pass.
The way TO guard against being
deprived of force and vigOr," says
Miss Sommer. is to image an etheric
shell like a soap bubble about ones
body. The shell is egg-shaped and
invisible
1T takes a strong will to create
such a shell, but il can be created and
maintained. I myself have done it,
and so have others of our society.
Equipped with this protecting
shell. we can go forth safely in the
midst OF the unconscious kleptOman-
iacs who would otherwise steal our
strength.
at is necessary to sit three feet
away from vampire people. other

a VICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE.

Detroit seems 10 have won a rather
notable victory in its long fight, dating
back TO Mayor Pingree or Whereabouts.
for good street car service at reason
able rates.
Detroit street car magnates will
now try 10 prove that it isn't neces-
sary TO charge five cents for a car
ride. and that universal transfers
with a seven for a quarter rate is
still compatible with dividends.
II took street car men a long time
90 admit this fact, lighting it bitterly
IN every large city in the country and
arguing that anything less than five
cent fare meant cOnfiscatiOn, while at
the same time they judiciously water
ed their stock so as not TO have 70 re-
port inflated dividends.
However Cleveland has apparently
mad = conspicuous success under city
apei s IN, OF three cent fares, and
before this visible demonstration, the
street car mems old argument loses
force. =.
Detroit, by the terms OF this agree
ment, will give up the $500 a day
rental charges against the traction
company for the use OF the city
streets.
1t may be that this is not a good
trade for the city. But 1t is certainly
better for the people
That extra $500 a day revenue
would be used somehow in the citys
finances and the public never would
botice the difference in decreased
taxation.
But the people will feel instantly
this reduction in fares. The working
man will notice it every time he pays
his fare to go to shop or factory. ev-
cry time he sends his children off to
school. II may IN many families
mean the difference between send
ing the children to school and put
ting them TO work. The margins Of
the poor are small and a reduction Of
car fare may be the single item that
viii make a life time of difference in
the future OF their children.
The city treasury can we'll afford
to give up this $500 a day, and 10
lower the fares for the people.
There is a lesson in this Detroit
settlement for every large city in the
country. Chicago officials might
have done more by their people by
insisting on a reduction of fare rather
than by going in partnership with
Fhe company in the receipts.
For the huge sums that the city of
Chicago collects from its tax payers
through this partnership, has not, at
least visibly, lowered the cost of liv-
ing in the nations second largest city.

REPUBLICAN PARTY TICKET
AUG. 9TH AND IN NOVEMBER.

Editor South Bend News
Lest an article in a last evening
paper signed Citizen" might mis-
lead some honest republican, 1 wish

In the article although the writer

The fact now is that after the pri-
maries today the central committee
of the republican party will be reor-
ganized in each precinct with a new

PRES. WILSON is considering an
invitation TO address the National
Council of Women Voters and prob
ably will find no objection if he has
time. In these days when most men
favor woman suffrage as a logical or
at least a foregone conclusion it is
easy to speak on the subject
But the trimming that some men
have done in the past was painful TO
all concerned.

cOmplacency that another rich wOm-
