The Indiana senate has passed the
Stotsenburg bill which, if it becomes
a law, will permit the cities of Lafay-
cite, East Chicago, Hammond, Elk
hart, Logansport, Marion, Muncie,
Richmond and New Albany to adopt
the commission form Of government.
The bill Is unreasonable and illogical.
il the commission form of government
is good for nine cities of the state it
is good for all cities. The action of the
senate in naming only nine cities is
not understood and it arouses suspi-
cion.
There is little likelihood of the bill
becoming a law. The Democrats have
prospects of controlling all these cit
les and using each as cog in the poll
tical machine. The Democratic house
will doubtless think twice before vot-
ing to weaken the Democratic organi-
Zation. The commission form of gov
eminent makes party organization in
local affairs almost an impossibility.
The Stotsenburg measure is model
ed after the Des Moines plan. Included
in it are the initiative, referendum
and recall. At a primary election the
people would nominate two candidates
for mayor and eight candidates for
commissioners. These nominations are
made irrespective of politics. There
is no limit to the number of citizens
who may be candidates in the pri-
mary. Consequently the opposing can
didates for mayor may belong to the
same party and eight candidates for
commissioner might belong to the
same party. Each commissioner be-
comes the head of a city department
and is a member of the board of which
the mayor is president. The commits
sion form of government is founded on
the theory that party government in
cities is corrupt, that it interferes
with public business and should be
destroyed.
If the Stotsenburg will should be-
come a law the people of Lafayette
will have an opportunity to vote on
adoption of the system. But one can't
help suspecting some political scheme
in designating only nine cities on
which to try the commission form 1t
is reported that the Stotsenburg meas
ure was rushed through only to block
a far more popular bill that would in
clUde all cities. Under the circum-
stances there is no occasion for enter
ing into a serious consideration of the
commission form Of government.

IhPRoVlNG The TINE
By EDWIN A. NYE.

Hundreds Of thousands Of dollars are
being spent in the effort to find one
sixteenth Of a second that Is missing
in the calculations Of the worlds as
tronomers.
special building fitted with appa-
ratus was erected-because in the hour
glass of time one small grain Of sand
was missing.
The fraction must be found.
Because the worlds longitude Is cal
culated on the suns time as recorded
at Greenwich and Paris and Washing
ton. 30 that every calculation must &C
count for every atom Of time.
If not?
If not every meridian line on earth
would need to be shifted, every bound
airy line between countries and states
changed and every map Of the world
made over.
And the movements of the planets
would be variant.
Do you see the tremendous import
Of an instant Of time? Time Is now.
All there Is Of time or ever will be is
comprehended in that now. The past
is nothing; the future is not born and
never will be. So far as humans are
concerned there is absolutely nothing
save now.
Therefore:
Let US utilize the only thing we have.
We cannot turn back the dial. neither
make the ,un stand still. We cannot
measure the value of the time we have
lost nor compute the value of that
which has not yet come to US.
The present is potential.
He who best improves what he has
best appreciates it's value. Therefore
you will find upon the desk Of the busy
man this motto: do 1t Now"
He Is too busy for regrets over the
last chance and does not put OF until
tomorrow the only thing he has in
hand.
NOW spells opportunity.
Today is the day of salvation. To-
day you have the desire to do Today
you have the strength to perform. To-
day you have the hope of accomplish
ment. Today you have the time to
succeed.
Do 1t today.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
and the good-thereof Yesterday holds
nothing but memory: tomorrow moth
ing but promise. Today Is the only
day.
Do it now!

the serious side or in serious way.
People who live simply to be amused
do not get very far.
1t seems to us that this question is
one that should have a special inter
est for parents. They are right in de-
string that their children shall have
"a good time" but they are wrong in
so far as they fail to impress on those
children the fact that life's prizes are
only, as rule, for those who fairly
earn them. Some little attention
should, therefore, be paid to the mat
ter of discipline. Never in the history
of the world was knowledge as freely
offered to men as it is today Yet it
can not be absorbed without effort
There must be study and self-culture.
In our passion for amusement, to
which the theaters so ceaselessly ca
ter, we are losing all taste for seri
Gus reading, and all conception of it's
value. Therefore, the argument for a
seven-day week for the theaters based
on the theory that the people need the
amusement is utterly preposterous
For they are over-amused as it is
What the people of this generation
need almost more than anything else
is a greatly reinforced capacity to
amuse themselves. Those who are
without this capacity are simply
grown-up children. OF course, the mo-
tive back of this latest raid on the
rest day is purely meroenary.

Scott Catastrophe Told In Brief.
Captain Robert F. Scott, British ex.
plorer of Antarctic regions and main
rival of Amundsen in search Of the
pole. perishes In blizzard with un-
known number of his party.
Documents found on the bodies show
that the expedition was returning from
the south pole and had reached the ex-
act spot which is marked with Amund-
sens flag on January 18th, 1912. Am.
undsen's hut also was found.
Mrs. Scott, widow Of the explorer,
sailed from San Francisco on the 9Th
OF February. expecting to join her hus-
band in New Zealand. She had not
heard from him In eighteen months,
and probably still is ignorant of his
tragic death.
London.-News reached the world
that Captain Robert E. Scott, the Ant
arctic explorer, and an unknown nun.
Der Of his companions, perished in the
Antarctic while on their return jour
ney from the south pole.
They reached their goal on January
18th, 1912, about a month after Cap
tain Roald Amundsen, the Norwegian,
had planted the flag of his country
there. Scott also found Amundsen's
hut.
They then turned back toward the
bases they formed on their outward
journey, but were overtaken, over
whelmed and destroyed by blizzard.
The news of the death of the ex-
plorers was brought to civilization by
the captain of the Terra Nova, the ves-
sci which had taken Scott's expedi-
tion to the south and which had gone
again to fetch them back after the ac-
complishment of their task.
A searching expedition recovered
) the bodies and records~of the party.
Only a few brief bulletins were sent
from the New Zealand seaport of
Oamaru by the captain of the Terra
Nova, who related simply the fate of
the party, and then proceeded with his
vessel for the port of Littleton.
1t is believed here that the disaster
did not involve all of the Scott party
OF sixty-six but probably only Scott
himself and the four others selected
by him for the final dash to the pole.
These are supposed to be DR.. E. A.
Wilson, chief of the scientific staff;
Captain l.. E. G. Oates of the Innis-
killing Dragons; Lieutenant H. R.
Bowers, of the Royal Indian Marine;
the commissariat officer and petty Of
ficer, f. E. Evans, of the British Royal
Navy.
The Terra Nova sailed on June 10th,
1910, for New Zealand and the south
pole. 1t was Joined by Captain Rob
ert F. Scott a few days later at Car
diff.
Mrs. Scott left London for New Zea-
land to meet her husband there.
