MOVES is GRATIFIED
BY GREGORY's OPINION

~
Frank b. Noyes. president OF the AS
ISOLATED Press, referring TO the attor-
lney-generars letter, said:
The clean bill OF health given the
Associated Press by the Attorney Cen
eral after his study OF the complaint Of
the New York Sun. is, of course, highly
gratifying Ia the membership of the or
gRnization.
1T is the more gratifying because IF
was the result of long. careful and
searching scrutiny by the Department
OF Justice OF the object and form Of tho
organization. Its scope and its methods.
ut Is convincing proof of the utter
lack OF foundation of such attacks ms
that OF the Sun that SUCH an investira
ton found nothing in the methods and
practices of the organization properlv
subject to tho attacks made by the sun
and nothing In its bylaws ut all OBJ
Jectfonable save one section "a pro-
vision similar to which had been up-
held many years ago by the highest
court of New York; that has been n
dead letter and never operative in any
sense since Its adoption at the time that
the present organization was formed
in 1900
ITO those of us who have had tho re-
sponsibility OF the conduct Of the Asso-
ciated Press this opinion OF Attorney
General Gregory Is the more pleasing
because he has accepted the Suns con-
tention though with some doubt that
a full responsibility attached TO tho or
ganization under the antitrust laws and
has therefore based his scrutiny and
his exoneration upon the Suns own con-
tention.
Those charged with the management
of the Ass ociated Press have endeavored
to govern Its conduct with a full appre-
citation Of the undoubted fact that it's
course should he. not only legally but
ethically. controlled by tho highest
standards, and in this we have felt that
we were succeeding-so far as ii Is
humanity possible to succeed.
ut Is not tho custom OF the Associat-
ed Press to either shrek for or shrink
from Investigations Of any OF its activi-
ties--if fair We are content"

Indiana's Centennial.
Indianapolis News.)

The centennial commission has probably acted wisely in deciding to concentrate its attention on two prin- cipal celebrations. These, according to present understandings, will be in Indianapolis and Corydon. As the capital and largest city. Indianapolis has first claim to the most elaborate ceremony. On account of it's historic associations. Corydon should have II large share in the celebration. Ac- cording to reports of the commission's s recent conference, the centennial ob- servances will begin at Corydon May IS, 1916, and will conclude Decem- Der II. May 13 will be the centennial of the constitutional election, and December II that of admission day
 In September or October the general official demonstration and pageant
 will take place in Indianapolis. In

Evidences of 'Kultur."
(Rridgeport Standard.)

We inferentially complimented that portion of the officers of the lnterned German cruisers at Norfolk, Va, who had not broken their parole, but had shown respect for the oath which Is usually supposed to pledge the honor of the man who takes it. We would have been pleased to have gone on re- garding these officers as gentlemen had not the recent conduct of certain of them at Norfolk thrown suspicion 1pon the character of the lot. It seems that the people who constitute the society part of the population at Norfolk and vicinity have been exert ing themselves to mitigate by social amenities the tedium of the enforced confinement of the Germans. They have been invited to clubs, parties and social functions of various kinds and a real effort made to make their lives somewhat pleasanter.
 This effort does not appear to have called out any signs of appreciation on the part of the German officers, but their manners have been boorish and offensive and their ''sneering com ments on America, it's pusillanimity and imbecility' have showed small consideration for the feelings of those whose guests they were. On one occa- s1on a German officer present with a company of American ladies and gen. tIemen denounced the Americans as towards, and challenged any one pres ent to dispute him." We are sorry to

Unchanged.
(New Haven Register.)

There is a storm of newspaper ar ticles, editorials, communica tions' poems, over the shooting of Miss Cavell. The weekly and the monthly magazines will keep up the rain of them. It is the expression of human chivalry, set in tribute to one woman who gave her life for what she be- lieved to be her duty-and to the sav- ing of others.
 If man had done just what Miss Cavell did, and suffered the same death, would his fate have aroused the same expression? Many men have done as much as she did; they have been praised for it, if the world knew Of it. But the world has not known of 1t as in the case of this woman. And the world has not known of it because they were men. There was not the thrill in their action, not the sensa- tion in it. Praise they have, but the blood of the nations does not stir for them as 1t does for this one woman.
 There is no denying it. This differ ence is because she is woman. It is more notable. more thrilling, more pity inspiring, for a woman to give up her life for a cause than it is for q man to do the same. She gave up oCSNseo>Ni"A not, however, that she had the oh hoice of ways. And the nations pro- test because the German authorities did not grant her some immunity, some mitigation for the reason that she was a woman. They treated her precisely as they would have treated man. To man in her position inn mediate death would have been in- evitable Most persons who know the facts, would have expected noth- ing else.
 Perhaps it is too much to expect those who are working and shouting and marching to bring about political equality between the sexes to notice these things But others, with the will and opportunity to think, must see them. There once was mock suf- frage toast: ITO woman; once our superior, now our equal" Is if pos- sible to make it come literally true. If it is, long may God spare us the day of universal suffrage.

say that there was no male American present who could give him the return for his insolence that he deserved and it remained for a young woman to properly characterize him and shut him up. It is not often that the people of Virginia are wanting in such mat ters and it is by no means characteris tic of them as class. We are pleased to know that they have withdrawn as a general thing from social intercourse with these men and have called in the cards extended to them by the social clubs of the neighborhood.

connection with the Corydon arrange ments other southern Indiana cities are expected to cooperate. Corydsv is one of the most interesting spots in the state, and it should be possible to attract a large number of people to the old capital. a
 George Ade suggests that the state commission present a historical mo- tion picture reproducing chief points in the states history from the earliest times on down to the present da<nu This. appears to be practicable alN though it would, of course, cost q great deal of money. It would have to be we'll staged. Indianas history is rich in picturesque and stirring events. It had it's pioneer life, rough as any. It's political campaigns, its part in the civil war, its transition from wilderness to territory, terri tory to sparsely settled state, and its growth to be one of the most inN portant of the commonwealth ought to supply any scenario writer or pro- ducer with sufficient material.
 People throughout Indiana will be pleased to learn that the centennial commission is making progress. There Is need for quick work. Only a few months remain for preparation. If an elaborate pageant is planned for Indianapolis no time should be logK in procuring a competent director. Sk. too, with the film suggestion. If this is actually indorsed it should be taken up vigorously and made a work of historical record and educational value.

1.-THE MUSIC OF THE LAMPS. :"

When Eos, rosy fingered morn, gently lifted the veil of night and kissed sleep from earth she first di- rected her golden glances to a monu- ment at Thebes, in Egypt. erected to the memory of her son Mamnon who died at the hands of Achilles And when the first rays of the morning sun,-Helios the lover who always fol- lowed Eos,-touched this wonderful! memento of Memnon it gave forth sound like the snapping of 8 harp string. And all this which happened many thousand years ago. in the time when no man knows, is the first in stance we have of the transmission of
 Just to prove that the gods of old do not compare with mere men of today, a New York scientist has solved the riddle of Memnon. He has brought tradition up to date. He has succeeded in making electric light bulbs give forth even more beautiful sounds than those emitted from the
 
 giant statue on the plains of Egypt when the morning sun kissed the darkness of night adieu. Even the greatest symphony orchestras must take to the background when this New Yorker turns on the lights and lets the music play. The music of the lemps'' he calls 1t, a music of light rays. It requires the effort of no great musician to play the most soulful melodies on the lamps. All that is necessary, we are told, is the trans mission of electric current to the cleo tric lamps which give out the music. How very simple. Anyone with the price to pay an electric light bill can ei joy this wonderful experience, 'the music of the lamps" For as this scientist himself says,-his name is Deforest,-'we have achieved at last the transmission of light rays directly into sound rays That which hither- to has been only for the pleasure of the eye can now be a pleasure also to the ear.'
 We owe a debt of gratitude to this man Deforest. It was while experi- rlenting with a wireless telephone de- tector he discovered that when the circuits were connected in a certain manner a clear musical sound was produced. After further experiments, it Is affirmed, he changed the tone into 8 variety of sounds, initiating with

intimated af possibility of the govern
 ment taking over the concernsin the
 event 1t proved a losing proposition.
 If the ship purchase bill should be
 passed at the next session of Congress,
 there could then be no doubt which
 ways the wind blows.
 r Even the staunchest enemies of the
 La Toilette bill would not be averse
 to seeing the Pacific and Eastern
 Steamship company prove successful.
 But" they argue, it cannot be
 done; at least, not under present con-
 ditions." There will have to be a
 radical change in the national policy
 if the growth of American shipping
 in the foreign trade is to ever mani
 fest itself, say these folk. And, as
 yet. no one has proved them wrong.
 They have figures to show that when
 it comes to ocean transportation we
 are even behind the poorest nations
 in the world; that American ships
 registered for foreign trade on June
 30, of this year, numbered but 2,768
 of 1,s1s,776 gross tons whereas the
 United States in 1863 had 2,O26,114
 gross tons in the foreign trade.
 Those figures show our Civil War
 days to be far advanced over present day conditions in our shipping in the foreign trade. And yet, there Is only one country which has a greater total merchant tonnage than the United States and that is Great Brit ain. We had, on June 30, last. 26.- o7 vessels in our merchant marine. according to official figures from the Department of Commerce, and these vessels represented tonnage of s,319,4s6 gross. Yet, for the most part, as can be seen by the small tonnage in the foreign trade, these ships are engaged in coastwise lake. and river trade and are therefore not subject to the same conditions im- posed by foreign competition. There can be no doubt that the La Toilette act is driving our ships from he foreign trade routes. The one that seventy-five per cent.
