LET GOOD WORDS GROW

How is it that often the evil which
men say spreads so widely and lasts
so long, whilst our good, kind words
don't seem somehow 10 take root and
bear blossoms? Is it that in the stony
hearts Of mankind these flowers can't
always find place to grow? Certain
it is that scandal is good brisk talk.
whereas praise of ones neighbor is
by no means lively hearing. An ac-
cuaintance grilled. scored, deviled and
served with mustard and cayenne pep
per excites the appetite; whereas. a
slice of cold friend with currant jelly
is but a sickly, unrelishing meat.
Thackery wrote that. And it's just
about as true today as the day he
wrote IL. GOssiping and scandal mong-
ing are things that tend to break
down modern civilization. If people
who don't like other people, or are
enviOus Of them for some reason,
would come right out in the open and
say so, standing up or falling down
under the argument, mankind would
be far better off.

INDUSTRIAL PEACE EXHIBIT.

1t is not easy these days TO get up
something truly original in exhibits,
so many of them have we had for the
purpose of demonstrating progress on
the one hama, and warning against
various dangers on the other.
Yet the business mems group of the
New York Ethical Culture society has
arranged an exhibit that is distinctly
original in a way. 1t illustrates i'm
provements in industrial relations. IL
shows by means of charts, maps, draw
ings and literature the growth of con-
Citation and arbitration machinery,
of prOfit-sharing, of forms of cOpart-
nership, in industry. of full cOOpera-
ton, of industrial and vocational ed
ucation-whether provided by the
state, the local community. or the en-
plOyers working in harmony with the
employees.
The exhibit has been described by
some impressed visitors as begin
nings of the human factor in modern
industry. 1t is to be taken 10 other
cities besides New York, and il is par
ticularly needed in regions torn by in
dustrial strife and grooming under the
burdens and waste entailed by strikes

JOHN \. LEDERER-pIoNEER.

When. after brief illness. John y.
Lederer breati ed his last early Thurs
day morning, the sturdy citizenship OF
South Bend experienced a loss that
can neither be repaired nor replaced.
John y. Lederer was OF a type of
manhood uncommon and out Of the
ordinary There was something dis
tinctively characteristic in his make
Up. Intellectually and educationally
equipped far above the average. he had
ideas peculiar to himself and on suit
able occasion had no hesitancy about
giving them expression. He cultivated
a philosophy that fitted his personality
and enunciated the same i'm exact ac-
cord with the pecuharities Of his meas
urements and his conception. He was
positive in his views and tenacious IN
adhering TO them. Perseverance
counted for much with him. and he
exempIified his devotion thereto by
an alertness and activity truly remark
able. His activity was not confined to
the days of his youth nor TO the years
Of vigorous and matured manhood. It
asserted itself steadily, as if he had
determinedly eliminated tiredness from
the daily walks of life. Those who
knew him for half a century saw no
change in the firmness and swiftness
II his step as he made his way to and
from home in the various pursuits
that engaged his time and attention
during the many years of his eXcep-
tionaily active career.
For shams Of every description he
ever manifested the utmost repug-
nance. Germanic genuineness had in
John n. Lederer a most pronounced
exponent.
He delighted to bask in the sun
shine of sociability and freely availed
himself Of opportunity to be enrap-
tured by the soulful sounds of music.
Pre-eminently public-spirited, he un-
grudgingly contributed his mite TO the
upbuilding Of the town of his adOp-
ton. He saw South Bend grow from
a struggling village to a thriving in
dustrial and commercial center. And
he did his part in making it SO.
The sundry vacations that he fol-
lowed were unvaryingly marked by
success. Brain and Drawn were equal
" applied in all of his undertakings.
AS public Official-member OF the
school board and county commission
er-he kept ever in mind that to
serve his constituency diligently and
faithfully was under all circumstances
an unshirkable duty.
It will seem so strange no longer TO
behold upon our streets the striking
form and features of this sturdy pio-
neer And how he Will be missed in
the circles Of which ne constituted a
conspicuous part for more than half
century. Ills departure serves as a
stern reminder of the memorable de-
demands of the Grim Reaper. Yet,
while scores of hearts are bowed down
in grief and sorrow, consolation may
be found in the comforting thought
that he who dwelt here so long and SO
serviceably useful ,eaves a record TO
which bereaved relatives and sympa-
thizing friends can point with undi-
minished satisfaction. J. b. :.

TIGHTENING THE LINES.

The fall of Tampico opens the gate
to Mexico City Huerta is left but
one leg to stand upon and that is in a
state of semi-paralysis. All northern
Mexico is now in the hands of the
rebels and the United States holds
the seagate to the capital.
The lines. both diplomatic and mil
itary are rapidly tightening on the old
fox and the time is soon coming when
he must break cover. When he does
his dreams of power will vanish and
it may be short shrift for his life.
Huerta must have credit. however,
for having made himself the cynOsure
of universal attention. Few men have
enjoyed the notoriety or distinction.
If devoted TO a patriotic purpose
Huerta's genius might have by this
time restored law and order in his
country
