A Lesson From Terre Haute

{ A SITUATION of enormous Importance to
f1'the Republic has developed at Terre
Haute. Indiana. There have been numerous
occasions in America when communities have
: risen in revolt and swept into the gutter
political associations which preyed on the
public Never before, however, has the
might and power of the Federal Government
been invoked to rescue a municipality from
the slough of corruption. TIE Terre Haute
case. therefore, presents method Of
attack which ruay be utilized by any munich
pality in the nation, in circumstances where
the local judiciary and authorities, by one
means or another, have become subservient
to political interests and can no longer be
relied on to execute Justice.
The Federal Government contends that in
any election where Congressman are candi-
dates the honesty of said election Is a matter
of interest to the United States, and that
jurisdiction properly lies In the United States
courts to prosecute those guilty of fraud or
OF conspiracy to defraud Judge Anderson
has upheld the indictments of a Federal
Grand Jury. Unless he is overruled by higher
authority. hereafter 1t will be possible for
municipalities and States to take into United
States courts charges of irregularities at
elections in which Congressman are chosen.
The Terre Haute case is of particular i'm
portance to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania
For this reason the EVENING LEDGER assigned
a member of its staff to visit Terre Haute
and conduct an exhaustive investigation into
the methods and means used by good citizens
to put an end to the electi' debaucheries of
which they were the victims The result of
this investigation is series of articles, the
first of which appears in this issue of the
EVENING LEDGER.
OF the ia persons indicted In Indiana, 81
have pleaded guilty. The intricacies of the
Democratic Organization, which has been
trapped there, and the remarkable part
played by the women in bringing about the
indictments. form a chapter in American
politics that reads like fiction, but is stranger
than fiction because 1t is true.

The University enjoys an international
fame and it attracts a larger proportion OF

are IN danger OF forgetting how big It is and
how 1t attracts young men from all parts of

product Of the spirit OF the city founded by
Penn and made distinguished by Franklin

The Hague. MAY 25-From infor-
nation reaching The Hague, it is un-
derstood that the Germans and Aus
trians have concentrated approx.
mately 6S0.000 men on the Italian
frontier. They have occupied strate-
gic positions in order to meet an at

heavy blow in an endeavor to dis
hearten the new combatants at the
beginning of the campaign
The Germans constitute the larger
part of this force, which is made up
of thirty-four divisions of approx
mately 10000 men each. Only ten
of these divisions are Austrians.
German and Austrian diplomats
here apparently are not perturbed by
the entry into the war of a new an

quarters, however, that Italy's de

Caledonian railway at Carlisle All
except six of the killed were soldiers

previous disaster of the kind. The

Added to the horror of the three

which made the rescue of those held
in the tangled mass impossible Tons
of water were poured on the wreck,
but many of the injured were burned

SHOW WORLD
PATH TO PEACE
President Wilson Says 1t Is
Americas Mission.
FOR FEDERAL SHIP LINE

Executive Discusses Lack of Physi-

publics and Says Government Must
Step in If Private Capital Does Not
Washington, May 24.-President
Wilson, speaking at the opening Of
the Pan-American financial confer
ence here, expressed the hope that
the Americans might show the world
the path to peace. The president was
loudly appIauded by the delegates as
he entered the hall of the Americas
in the Pan-American Union building,
where the meetings are being held.
On the platform were members of
the cabinet, while the audience in
Icluded many high government Off
pals in addition to the representa-
ives of South and Central American
Countries. The president spoke OF
THE handsome rivalry" which, he
said, was good for nations
The lack OF the physical means Of
communication between the Ameri-
cas-, he said, stood somewhat i'm the
way OF the development of commerce
and friendship. In advocating more
ships in Pan-American trade and
the opening of new routes the presi-
dent said that If private capital can.
not soon establish such means of
communication, the government must
undertake to do so.
