WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

Fourth. to turn the thoughts of
men more and more from the mega
tive virtue of detecting and exposing
the evil To the positive virtue OF dis
corning and praising the good.
Il know of some newspapers said
DR. GLADDEN.. that are doing much TO
bring to earth a reign of good Will.
They are disposed to discern the good
and rejoice i'm it: they cultivate Sra-
cious speech and kindly Judgment 'of
their fellowmen. And yet ] fear that
it is true that in collecting and pre-
senting the news of the day the habit
which so largely prevails Of fixing the
attention upon evil of society, of
keeping the seamy side of life upper
most. OF exploiting crime and vice
and scandal furnishes quite too large
an extent the common notion of the
function of Journalism.
is it not true that one Of the deep
est needs of our social life is the need
of a kindlier judgment of our neigh
bors: the need Of a disposition to see
the good side Of everybody? And has

POSSIBILITY OF INTERVENTION.

Intervention in Mexico by the United
states depends largely upon two con-
tingencies. the ability or inability of
Huerta TO maintain himself in the cap
ital and the conduct of the insurrec-
tiopists if they succeed in dislodging
him.
This follows because the elimination
OF Huerta is the chief purpose Of the
American government. That accom-
plished it is believed a stable govern
ment can be established without the
direct aid of the United States. There
are two means of elimination avail
able, by pressure of the character now
being applied through the threatening
attitude OF the United States and the
mediation conference arranged for.
and by force of arms applied by the
rebels or the United States. or by both.
If the mediation conference fails and
the rebels do not succeed in eaptur-
ing the city of Mexico II will devolve
Upon the United states to go in.
Further. if the rebels capture the
capital and fail TO conduct themselves
in ar, orderly manner and take steps
TO organize a stable government il
viii be necessary for the United States
TO invade Mexico and by force Of SUI
perior lighting ability and numbers TO
restore order and set the wheels Of re-
organization in motion.
The expectation is that the medi-
ators will recommend and agree upon
& protectorate by the United States
and the hope IS that Huerta will &C
cept the verdict, but there remains an
other contingency. that the rebels who
continue 10 tight the federals. will in
vest and perhaps capture the city of
Mexico before the mediators can act
This would completely alter the sit
uation and the course OF this govern
ment must depend upon what the
rebels do after they get possession
OF the capital.

4 VITAL NATTER.

Back OF the immediate BENEFITS OF
the WarneS taxation law 10 the great
mass of Ohio citizens. lies the larger
and farther reaching economic erect.
Writers on political economy who
have looked into the taxation matter
with open minds are agreed that the
inequitable systems of taxation which
have prevailed in this country have
much to do with the migration from
the farm to the city.
The farmer has been the principal
TAXPAYER in this country. Perhaps 1t
is because he is more honest, more
clear in his conscience. 1t is in part
due TO the character Of his property,
which like a light which is set upon
a hill. cannot be hid. Still. the fact
that farmers in ona rural township in
Montgomery county have been re-
turning for taxation within $4,000 of
as great an amount i'm stocks. bonds
and securities as all the millonaireS
and rich men and women i'm the city
Of Dayton, would seem TO indicate
that there is more inherent honesty
in the country.
Whatever may be the cause and
there are others besides those mem
toned, the farmer has been paying
taxes out Of all proportion TO the pay
ments Of his city cousin. 1t has
helped increase the burden of rural
life. 1t has tended to keep down
profits in time of prosperity and to
make agriculture almost intolerable IN
hard times.
one of the recent writer's who has
called attention 20 this unjust situa-
ton is Prof. Thomas +. Hall. of
the chair OF Christian ethics in Union
Theological seminary. Elsewhere i'm
one of his books he earnestly reminds
Christian people that taxation is a
question OF vital importance to the
church. He urges Christian people to
make the study of these problems,
and effort to secure greater fairness,
a part of their religion.
In Ohio tremendous advance has
been made. The battle has not been
altogether won. for the forces of
privilege and the upholders of injus-
tice are fighting 10 regain the ground
the people have taken from the en-
emies of humanity. II is a matter to
which honorable. right-thinking men
ought TO give earnest consideration.

PRACTICAL ENTHUSIASM.

II the enthusiasm aroused by the
plan 10 make a good road between
South Bend and Niles is communicated
to the Lincoln highway project the ap-
preparation will go through with a
whoop. II is unexampled in this
county. where Gen. Apathy has been
until now in supreme command.
But it is a methodical sort Of en-
thusiasm. There will not be a mere
brave display of the implements Of
rOadmaking and a frantic tossing Of
dirt with three cheers and tiger TO
make up in noise for what was not
done In labor. The enthusiastic vol
unteers will go about making the i'm
provement as Systematically as Gen.
Funston will plan for the march upon
the city OF Mexico when the word is
given. Competent civil engineers will
superintend the finding Of levels by the
engineering class Of the University OF
Notre Dame and the work Of con-
struction when that begins and when
the Improvement is completed it will
be as perfect from an engineering
point OF view as any road in the coun-
try.
One advantage this work will pos
sess over that done by contract it will
be performed by the parties most in
terested in having a good road. the
business men OF South Bend and Niles
and the farmers along the way. The
public may depend upon getting a
good job, with a substantial founda-
ton, proper material and careful con-
struction, and when it is completed the
question as to the best way to get to
Niles from South Bend or 10 South
Bend from Niles will be determined.
There will be only one way for direct
ness.
The stimulating effect the improve
ment of the Niles road will have on
road building in this vicinity should
be strong and probably will be. The
road will be visible example of what
can be done with our poor roads and
the ease and economy with which they
NAV be transformed from sources OF
evaporation and waste TO sources of
comfort and economy.

WHEN POETS CELEBRATE.

who thinks of New York as a lit
erarY. much less a pOetical, center?
IT is true that a number of magazines
are published there. but that fact has
no necessary relationship with litera-
ture Also, it is the home of numer-
Gus book publishers. yet it IS not to be
inferred that the writer's themselves
con9regate there. Their work is &C
complished best far from the madding
crowd and i'm a more cOngenial at
mosphere Hence it is that they find
themselves in harmonious atmos-
pere i'm Indiana and that their poems
and novels properly inspired. become
best sellers
But strange as it may seem, New
York has poetry society. and its
mem bers left their hall bedrooms
and gathered together TO celebrate
May day. They met at the home of a
hospitable friend in the suburb Of
Yonkers and had a joyous time read
ing their poems to each other. After
this orgy was over they dined and
subsequently, went home refreshed in
body and soul They fancied that
they had done something original and
unique. but little did they know.
While these New York poets were
Yet babies in arms Indiana had a So
ciety of writer's. That was something
really new in the literary world and it
attracted much attention. At first
only Indiana poets. essayists and nov
elists were admitted. They made a
goOdly tribe. but they were not selfish
or exclusive. and opened wide the
doors Of their organization TO aspiring
authors from other states. Instead of
the Indiana Association il became
the Western Association Of Writers"
For years il lourished nightly. 1t
gathered in annual celebration at Wi
mona and heard its praises sounded
by the members. They read their
pieces 10 each other and snapped
sentiment 10 their hearts content
They simply reveled in a literary at

Shoulders age-bent meath a shiny coat
Face that is wistful and lined.
Weak. faded eyes. eager bent, TO note
The pitiful chance they may find

That shake just bit as they hold:
The chance is so little, he we'll under

owner TO increase his possessions nor

This is apparent first from the
limit on loans provided for in the
farmers credit bill presented to the
house on Tuesday by Representative
Bulkley Of the house banking and cur
rency committee. Loans are not to
exceed $4,000 10 each individual. and
they will be placed only on first mort
cages so that ell previous incum-
brances for purchases and improve
ments must be cleaned up and the land
left free OF all financial burdens.
The loans must be reduced by an
rual or semi-annual payments and
they are TO run not less than five nor
more than thirty years. with the priv
