ACE OF TIE RACE.

Probably as accurate an estimate
Of the age OF the human race as can
be made is that of the latest work
of Prof. James Geikle of Edinburgh
university, who concludes that man
first appeared in Europe from 10000
TO 100000 years ago. The number of
years cannot be precisely stated but
the geological evidence that the pc
riOd is a vast one is impressive and
conclusive. The few thousand years
of written history are insignificant by
comparison. He says: Since pale
Olithic man left the earliest traces of
his existence, there have been sub
mergence and re-eleyation of enOr-
nous tracts of the earth's surface.
erosion of valleys and general low
ering of the surface by denudation, a
succession Of stupendous climatic rev
Olutions. and the alternate occupying
of the continents by widely contrast

each other again and again" 1t is

FOR BETTER CAR SERVICE

To the Editor of The News Times:
The board of directors of Misha-
waka's Chamber of Progress, and
many individual members have noted
with extreme interest the splendid
editorial efforts of your paper to pro-
cure for the people of South Bend inn
proved street car service. Particular
ly are we impressed with your Sug-
gestion that the Indiana legislature
just converting. can, if il Will, lend a
helping hand by lessening the Muir
dock influence in the councils of the
local company and with the public
utility commission.
At the request OF the board of di-
rectors of our organization we are
constrained To address YOU in this
letter and 10 direct If we may, your
attention To another proposed legisla-
tive matter of relief which we deem
should be granted all cities of Indi-
ana, and especially relating to the To-
cal car Ompany,-namely the taxa
tion OF street railway franchises. The
taxation law Of 1891. drawn by South
Bends eminent jurist, Timothy r.
Howard. then a member of the legis-
lature, distinctly provided that street
railway franchises should be taxed
the same as other public utility fran
chises are taxed. In the dark days of
a railway ridden assembly ten years
later. this feature of the taxation law
was amended by an innocent looking
Joker. whereby all street railway
franchises were lifted from actual
taxation. and by the latter ioker-stat-
ute was actually thimble- rugged and
juggled into the twilight zone OF
psuedo classification. where such
franchises have escaped the actual
payment OF taxes worth millions of
dollars in Indiana.

Short Talks on Advertising
BY R. S. NEWMAN.

In every path of business you will find footsteps of
those who have gone before. If you conclude to re-
trench in your advertising expenditures you will
recognize in your path the footsteps of those who
have been forgotten.
The readers of a paper Judge the relative import
ance of stores solely from the relative amount of ad
vertiSing space used.
The progressive merchant will use his last years
advertising "high water mark" as his daily average
this year. Set your advertising mark high and the
size of your store will automatically build to it. then
set your mark again.
Make your advertising bigger and stronger in bad
and rainy weather. 1t takes greater effort to get
people into your store but once they get in they visit
longer and buy more. They do real shopping instead
OF window shopping-anyhow it is a good thing TO
get them in to explore your store sort of open
house with the sales organization as the hostess.
Remember that knotty timber requires sharp
wedges and hard hitting.
The time that it requires for the advertising train
to success to arrive at its destination is determined
by the number of stops on its route. Every "nO-ad
day" delays the train twenty-fOur hours
Every store in this city was once merely plan of
which advertising was part. The bigger stores
of next year are now merely plans which bigger ad-
vertiSng" alone will convert into realities.
Economy often defeats its own ends; sometimes
economy is extraVagant; sometimes not spending is
more expensive than spending. Spending for adver-
Using is an investment In ten dollar advertisement
the last two dollars pay better than the other eight
maybe an eight dollar ad would not pay when a ten
dollar ad would Maybe that extra space is just what
the ad needs to lift it out of oblivion, to make it
prominent to make it pay. Don't buy more space
than you need but don't buy too little.

But do YOU really want to let liquor

Then ! leave the punishment en-

ROMANCE OF THE PAST.
UndianaDOIiS News. }

dDOllS news.
The Mrs. Eaton affair did not cause
a duel, but il caused a social sensation
in its day. Mrs. Eaton's maiden name
was Margaret O'Neill, and she was
the daughter of William O'Neill, who
kept an old-fa shioned tavern in
Washington. She was called Peggy.
Being pretty and lively, she was much
admired by frequenters of her faith
er's tavern, and partly through An
drew Jackson's influence, she was
married to John II. Eaton, United
States senator from Tennessee. When
Jackson was elected president he
made Eaton secretary of war, and
Peggy O'Neill thus became one of the
ladies of the cabinet. The ladies of
Washington refused TO call on her
and Jackson resented their action and
wrote letters gallantly defending Mrs.
Eaton. Prominent men and women
took sides in the controversy. Jack
sons niece, Mrs. DOnelsOn, who had
been acting mistress of the white
house, left Washington rather than
call on Mrs. Eaton. Starting as a pure
ly social controversy, it became polit-
ical, and was an influential factor in
the dissolution and reorganization of
Jackson's cabinet. Martin Van
Buren,, then secretary of state, won
Jackson's warm approval by calling
on Mrs. Eaton, and was appointed as
minister to England and later had
Jackson's backing for president. Sen
ator Eaton died in Washington in
1856. leaving the widow very rich. She
continued to live in Washington hand
somely and happily with children and
grandchildren. but in her old age she
married an Italian dancing master.
who squandered most of her fortune,
and caused her much sorrow. She
died in Washington in 1879 in her
eighty-fourth year.

THE New York modiste is said to
be able to distinguish between the
western and eastern women because
the former orders her skirts made
wide. This is a Chicago influence.
Chicago will do anything to be differ
ent from New York. and doesn't have
to exert herself at that, but we hope
the women OF South Bend will not
permit themselves to be led to ex-
tremes
CONSERVATIVE New York would
approach the expansive skirt by de-
grees. Radical Chicago would jump
into IL. We are for the sliding scale.
1t would be little short of shocking
for South Bend women to make the
transition immediate. In fact, il
would not be good form.
WE note that d. V. Whiteleather
practices law in Columbia City, Ind.
and that Dr. Whitesline operates a
blacksmith shop in Huntington. We
also used to know an editor by the
name of Whitehead. However. lest
the subject may be OF no interest to
you we drop it.

HUMOR OF THE GREAT WAR.

There is not much to relieve the
somberness and sadness of the war,
but here and there one may detect a
bit of humor in the situation. AS an
example of this, we note that Ger
many accuses the British of not TAX
ing the war seriously enough and of
treating it as a sport. And then. to
match this charge. we have the Lon
don Times replying in all seriousness
to the German criticism. To read
the Times one would conclude that
the English revel I'm the reputation,
if not in the possession. of a spirit
of frivolity 1t has been so long since
the British people have been accused
Of being merry that they are actually
delighted even when their most bit
terly hated enemy points the accusing
finger, says St. Panl Dispatch. In
stead of "damning them with faint
praise" the Germans have praised the
English with faint damns, and the
Times can hardly conceal its satisfac-
ton over it. The thing is so pleas
ing TO the British that we need not
be surprised to hear that the Asquith
government has approached the kaiser
with offers of an entente cOrdiale to
take the place of the present unsavOry
tussle between these two foes who

Gov. Ralston's message to the Iegis-
lature. if followed by that body.
promises some Of the best results Of
any assembly since the organization
OF the state IL is an expression of
sane craftsmanship. Adherence to
the party principles as set forth in its
platform is always good statesman
ship. unless it can be definitely shown
that the party was misinformed at the
time the platform was adopted. To
speak more particularly OF the gov
errors economy program, however.
we regard it as directing a middle
course, decidedly important just at
this time
How far TO recede from a policy OF
mistaken afAuence without becoming
reactionary is difficult to decide, yet
this is exactly what the present leGis-
lature must do if it is TO meet the de-
mands OF the people and still main
tain a reputation for progressivism.
How to give the people the reforms
that they need in the way of con
structive legislation, and at the same
time keep down expenses, is some
thing that the assembly must figure
out a way to do. Indiana must go
slow on the creation of new boards
and commissions at this session-slCw.
in fact, or everything that is to call
for special appropriations. The gov
ernor is right in advocating such a
course. We need the constructive
legislation but we must take care not
to provide a method OF execution that
costs more than the worth of the
thing to be accomplished.
Yet we must not be niggardly,
stingy, parsimonious with regard to
things that are needed. Our educa-
tional and penal institutions must be
properly financed, but they must be
financed without cultivating extrava-
gance. II the republican party should
by any force of devildom succeed in
realizing its dream in 1916, democracy
should want to turn the state over
TO it in better shape than it received
it in 1908. and have set a good ex-
ample. Furthermore, democracy will
have 10 make a better showing by
1916, and set a better example, than
the republicans did during the years
previous TO 1908, If somebody's dream
does not come true. This session
must get down to business, in states
manlike fashion, or the political con-
sequences are possible to prove dis
astrous. The governor, no doubt had
this in mind. in preparing his mes
sage but political consequences. or
no political consequences, it measures
up to the public demand.
And the indications about the state
house at Indianapolis are that the
governors advice will be generally
needed. 1t is difficult to say just now
TO what extent A single day of the
session is insufficient for final judg-
ment-save with the critics.-but re-
ports have it that there is a major
harmony with the governors ideas.
The thing TO do is to watch the legis-
lature. follow the proceedings. and
pass Judgment as time rolls on. II is
one OF the most important sessions in
the history of the state, much depends
upon it, and every citizen should take
the trouble to inform himself as to the
texture of its work
The governors message sounds the
keynote"
