South Bend news-times. (South Bend, Ind.) 1913-1938, 1914-05-30

This is the one particular day Of
the year when the nation should pause
for a moment OF reflection and TO lay
a tribute on the graves Of the cOun-
try's defenders. In spirit II is possible
the nation does what IT should do. but
In practice Memorial day is too much
like any other holiday.
How much this apparent indiffer-
ence may grow in the future is prob
lematical bat a strong effort should
be made 10 guard against forgetful-
ness Of the nations obligations. We
sometimes think we as a nation are
having a good deal OF trouble and that
our progress is not as rapid as it
should be, but can we imagine what
our troubles and our progress might
have been but for the sacrifices Of the
patriotic men whose last resting places
will be decorated today?

THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY.

South Bend and St. Joseph county
are TO have a place on the route map
OF the Lincoln highway, which is to
belt the continent like a ribbon of
white silk and honor the name OF the
great war president and emancipator.
With little opposition the referendum
authorizing the issue of bonds carried.
This necessary preliminary out of
the way the letting of contracts and
the issue of bonds will follow in reg
ular order. The total cost of the i'm
provement from the western limits Of
South Bend TO the eastern limits Of
Laporte county. a distance of eleven
miles, is not to exceed $4,000, in
Guiding the expenses of the election.
and to raise whatever amount the sue
cessful bid or bids call for bonds will
be issued No difficulty in disposing
OF these bonds is anticipated.
The highway between the western
limits of South Bend and the eastern
limits of Mishawaka is of course pro-
vided for as the route follows improv-
ed streets, and the strip between the
eastern limits of Mishawaka and the
western limits of Elkhart county has
been taken care Of by petition under
the state road law.
Though some apprehension was felt
the vote proved that but for misunder-
standing and misrepresentation there
would have been practically no opposi
ton. AS far as a clear understand
ing OF the proposition went the vote
was favorable and the majority of
more than two thousand gives the
great enterprise a strong sentimental
as well as financial endorsement. The
privilege OF being station on this
unexampled highway is one that is
evidently highly appreciated. 1t will
add materially TO the prestige South
Bend already enjoys and be of meal
culable benefit to the people on and
near the route.

WHAT WOULD UNCLE SAM Doq

"Of the thousands of stockholders,
it was rare that one hundred attend
ed" said Mellen of the New Ravens
annual meetings. And they seldom
said boo.
OF course there were reasons. One.
for instance that they didn't know
enough about what was doing TO say
anything worth while. Another. that
travelling and hotel bills are ex-
pensive.
Now IL they could have stepped
around the corner to a voting booth
as many Of them do once or twice a
year. they could at least have had a
little say in a public management.
Which reminds us of the claim that
public ownership is wasteful, incom-
petent. We used. by the way. to see
this claim in the Boston Herald, which
Mellen bonded and with whose editor
he used to dine.
Both Morgan and Mellen doubtless
sincerely believed ii and thought their
own management a model.
It's not an easy job to run railroad
or. for that matter. a government.
II Uncle Sam had been in Morgan
place it's not cinch that he'd have
pleased everybody or made no mis-
takes.
But it's a good bet that he couldn't
have gone as far toward recklessness,
bad service and graft as the Morgan
crowd did before getting called.
For then every mothers son of US
would have been stakeholder; and
surely among so many there would
have been some lusty kickers keen to
keep the rest informed.

AN uNMISE POLICY.

The enforcement Of the law. like
any other human action, should be
reasonable proceeding. not the toy of
fippancy nor the weapon OF malice.
1t should be applied only when cir
cumstances make it reasonably neces-
sary for the protection Of society
Like the brakes on a motor car the
purpose Of the law is 70 avert danger.
not 70 infict undeserved punishment
and hardship. There is such a thing
as overzealOusness. Allowance must
be made for human incompleteness
and human intentions if we would es-
cape a return TO the periods in the
worlds history when law was a terror
rather than a protection and comfort.
In the contemplation OF the law the
intent governs. The word intent forms
an essential part Of every indictment
or complaint. without IT no court
viii consider the charge embodied.
without establishing intent beyond the
peradventure OF a doubt no conviction
can be had
1t is inconceivable that people with
the means and leisure for automobile
touring. or those who make a business
Of driving cars. all OF whom are IA
miliar with and approve the regula-
ton OF the trafio would Intentionally
violate the laws governing the opera
ton OF automobiles. or that in any
degree they have contempt for the
dignity OF the law.
ofhar conditions aufoV,,o-
bi1ists are simply people subject to
circumstances and especially exposed
when travelling long distances The
stranger In the city is entitled to as
much II not more consideration than
the local citizen for the reason that
he is separated from his base OF OPP
erations, and yet there are daily vio-
latiOns OF the traffic ordinance and OF
other ordinances to which no attention
Is paid by the police.
Why this discrimination against the
stranger. and especially against the
stranger who under the circumstances
is doing his best 20 conform with the
law? It is the purpose Of the police
department TO crea, prejudice against
South Bend in the public mind at large
and TO have IL understood that the
slightest technically will be used to
effect their arrest and punishment? If
so The police department has a false
conception Of the purpose for which
the people Of South Bend employ it,
Public sentiment does not approve
the policy of the department as ex-
emphfied IN its 'Nwatchful waiting for
strangers. The public believes in a
square deal and il wants the stranger
encouraged to come 20 South Bend
rather than discouraged.

THE RIVER OF DOUBT.

Henry Savage Lander has at least
added to the levity of the nations
when he sought to cast aspersions on
Col. Roosevelt's alleged discovery of
a new river in South America. Any
one who throws down the gauntlet to
our versatile eX-president has, in the
vernacular Of the day, started some
thing Already the swish OF the big
stick is heard, and this time it is
music in the ears of all of US, for we
can listen in delight with no fear that
we shall suddenly have our own hats
unexpectedly knocked down over our
ears. AS Americans we can sit back
in cOntentment and watch the merry
tatto the American big stick will
beat about the head and shoulders
of the presumptuous Mr.. Lander.
AS far as can be judged from the
comment so far, nObody-including
Col. Roosevelt - seems to be taking
Mr.. Lander very seriously. To begin
with. il appears that his own alleged
explorations in South America have
been seriously questioned and that
they do not entirely jibe with those
OF the distinguished American. who
traversed a part of the same country
through which he claimed to have
passed. Then, too. Col Roosevelt is

The party was thoroughly equipped
with the latest scientific instruments,
and it took frequent observations to

bilities Of the expedition, sent with
Col. Roosevelt it's two most distin-
guished geographers, thereby giving
official authority TO the discoveries
that were made. The altered ideas
of the geography OF the Brazilian in
terion are thus TO be officially incor-
porated in the biographies of the
Brazilian government.
We hardly believe Col. Roosevelt
will slip up on a mere matter of a
river. If he says the River of Doubt
is there, we believe he has got it
carefully stuffed and slowed away
somewhere. No doubt he has got a

THE DOUBLE CROSS IN POLITICS.
Occasionally even in these days of
severely practical politics one is able
to discover a candidate for public Of
fee. presumably familiar with the po-
litical game, who is guileless enough
TO be shocked by defeat and Mortified
at the methods by which he believes
that defeat was brought about. The
most recent case in point is that OF
Frank L. Welsheimer, formerly an at
tOrney at Auburn, we'll known in Fort
Wayne and now a resident of Gary.
Mr.. Welsheimer was an aspirant for
the republican nomination for judge
of the superior court at Gary, and the
result Of the primary voting consti-
tuteS a narrowing memory to him. he
was not only beaten, but he declares
he was double crossed in the most
ruthless fashion.
Mr.. Welsheimer is out "a red-hot
statement in which he attacks the sue
cessful candidate for the jCdgeship as
we'll as the machine that put over"
the nominee for state senator. He
AYERS that during the early part of the
campaign the member of the social
ed machine" were favorable to his
nomination, and evidently was able TO
view the situation with some degree or
complacency but that when the liquor
dealers association endorsed another
aspirant the machine interest in the
Welsheimer candidacy suddenly ceas-
ed. Woes continued to accumulate in
still greater volume when the man who
finally won clinched the support by de-
claring that unless ii was delivered TO
him ne would frame defeat for the
machine candidate for senator The
fact that the machine" triumpned to
the discontinue of Mr.. Welsheimer is
merely incidental to present consider
alton of the situation. The incident
is chiefly interesting as illustrating
again the double cross in politics. The
amazing part Of IL is that anything
that happens in the variety OF politics
peculiar to Gary should occasion sur
prise.-Fort Wayne Sentinel.
