WILSON ID INSIST ON
 RIGHTS OF AMERICANS
Believed President WIFI Rush
 Reply to Germany.

President Wilson will not back down from the position he took when he sent his note to Germany. While there K no official authority for the statement. it is known that the president will not be swerved from his course by the temporizing sought in the German re- ply. He will wait for the American people to speak after they have read the German answer and let his course be guided by their stand.
 As on the days before he sent his note to the kaiser demanding an explana- ton of the sinking of the Lusitania. with its attendant loss of more than 100 American lives. and the attacks OH the FUlaba and the American steam CTS Gulhight and Cushing. the presl- dent has gone into seclusion. No mem- her of the cabinet will see him until this afternoon. when, if is expected. he will lay before it the course he in- tends to pursue. Whatever it is, it will not be one of tempoizing or de- lay. The president has made clear that the rights md lives of American citizens are not subject to debate.
 A prompt answer will be sent to Der lin, it Is generally predicted, perhaps shortly after the cabinet meeting. This is expected to give the American gov ernment's understanding Of the facts that the Lusitania was not armed and carried no concealed guns, and that un- der all rules of international law and humanity the vessel should have been visited and searched and her passpn- gers transferred 10 place of safety. whether she carried ammunition or not American law does not prohiblt the carrying of ammunition on passen- ger ships. it will be asserted. but only self exploding material.
 Germany's failure even to discuss the request that guarantees be given that American vessels and lives be not en- dangered in the future is the main point to which the United States govern ment, it was generally believed, would advert in the second note.
 One thing is established on author lty: The country will not be thrown into war precipitately. The administra- tion thoroughly considered the possi- bility Of war before 1t sent the Lusi- tania note and decided to meet the is- sue, but the president will consider war only if it is forced upon this coun- try by Germany.

Chinece EiliaI PietY.

The following Chinese story illus trates the national regard for filiai piety. A man and his wife maltreated the husbands mother. As punish ment the scene of the act was openly cursed. the active agents were put to death. and the mother of the wife was bambooed. branded and exiled for her daughters crime. The house in which the offenders lived was dug up from the foundations. Moreover, the schol- ars of the district were precluded from attending public examinations, and even the magistrates were deprived of their offices. These drastic measures were designed to render the empire filial.

Look Ahead!

There are some persons who ride all through the journey of life witt their backs to the horses head. They are always looking into the past. They are forever talking about the good old times and how different things were when they were young. There is no romance in the world now, and no heroism. The very winters and sum- mers are nothing to what they used to be. In fact. life is altogether on a small. commonplace scale. Now, that is a miserable sort of thing. It brings a kind of paralyzing chill over life and petrifies the natural spring of joy that should be forever leaping up to meet the fresh new mercies that the day keeps bringing.-Eychange

It is the boast of the French Foreign legion that it can provide men from its own ranks to meet any contingen' cy.

 AS for Penrod himself, the walls reeled with the shock. He sat with his mouth open, mere lump of stupe- faction. For the appalling words that he had hurled at the teacher were as ,inexplicable to him as to any other who heard them.
 Nothing is more treacherous than the human mind; nothing else so loves to play the Iscariot. Even when patient ly bullied into a semblance of order and training it may prove but base and shifty servant. And Penrod's mind was not his servant. It was a master, with the April winds whims, and it had just played him a diabolical trick. The very jolt with which he came back to the schoolroom in the midst of his fancied flight jared his day dream utterly out of him and he sat open mOuthed in horror at what he had said.
 The unanimous gasp of awe was pro tracted. Miss Spence, however, final ly recovered her breath, and, returning deliberately to the platform, faced the school.

GERMANY AGAIN WARNS
 THE AMERICAN SHIPS.

The following urgent warning was sent by the German government to American shipping:
 "The American ambassador at Berlin was been informed by the German foreign office that in view of the fact that during the past few weeks it has repeatedly oc- cured that neutral ships have been sunk in the water designated ns an area of maritime war by the Ger man admiralty on Feb. 1. 1915, and especially in one case where lt was established that the sinking was trnceable to an attack by a German submarine, which took the neutral ship for an English vessel in the darkness on account Of inadeuuate illumination of its neutral distinc- tive markings. it recommended that American shipping circles again be warned against traversing the area of maritime war Intentionally, and also te urged to make the neutral markings as plain as possible, and especially to have them illuminated promptly and sufficiently at night"

The Pre,idents Parti,anship.

The dominant note OF the comment on the
presidents Jackson day speech is its show Of
intense psrtsanship, and its promise OF a dis
tinctly partisan administration during the re-
mainder of his term in the White House. Hith-
erto the president had been having the benefit
Of popular notion that party letters were rest
ing lightly upon him; that he was more free
and Independent Of partisan considerations than
any preceding president: that, in a word, he was
broader and better than his party.
His own declarations now disclose him to
be Enthusiastically typical OF the democratic
party--perhaps the higher minded part Of It. but
nonetheless bounded in his vision by the DEM
ocratic horizon. He referred to the republican
party as not having had a new idea in thirty
years, when nearly every law the democrats
have put on the statute books with his help with
the notable exception of the Underwood tariff,
has merely completed plans set in motion by the
republicans. Almost at the very moment the
president was making his address at Indianap-
oils, his secretary Of war was submitting to the
Philippine committee a brief made up chiefly of
extracts, reports and statements by Presidents
Mckinley, Roosevelt and Taft TO prove that the
administrations proposed Philippine bill con-
forms strictly to the policy laid down by the
republicans
In another place, the president gave hint
as to his idea of party obligations within the
party when he threw bouquet at the demo-
cratic senators from Indiana as two he docs not
have to lie awake at nights thinking about"
presumably because their subservient partisan
ship distinguishes them from the few demo-
cratic recalcitrants who have been making him
more or less trouble. This was probably in
tended notice to those who have already got
ten off the reservation, we'll as to those who
may possibly be tempted to stray
Taken altogether the presidents declaration
Of his partisanship must be viewed as a reflex OF
his state Of mind" that he believes, as would
go without saying, that the democratic party is
far superior OF any and all other political par
ties; that anyone who realizes this and pro-
fesses to be democrat is preferable 20 a repub-
lcan or progressive, or member OF any other
party. and that among those who profess TO be
democrats only those who do not make him 'lie
awake at nights" are the real thing. and all the
others are spurious.

Cleaning Up Politics.


The federal raid the Terre Haute election
manipulators, the most extensive Of its kind,
ought to have an invigoratlng effect, not alone
on Indiana politics, but wherever machine"
control is still potent to direct the current of
political life. Practical" politics has been given
jolt that ought to serve notice to everybody
that the day Of the election corruptionist is rap
idly passing.
Organization is vitality essential 70 political
success; without 1t little can be accomplished.
Political parties are formed along certain funda-
mental lines and with certain definite policies
for government, and their operations can only
be orderly followed through effective business
management But this does not mean gang or
machine" organization. The overthrow of
bosses" and gangs" is not hard to accomplish
when once the people are awakened to a realiza-
ton Of their own responsibility for conditions.
II political corruption ever thrives It is because
OF the apathy OF the voters themselves.
And no agency has been of greater help and
usefulness In the achievement OF the change
that has come about In the last two years than
the newspapers of the country Publicity for po-
lltical actions Is the safeguard for security and
honesty OF elections.

Moral Obligation.

this utterance is refreshing.
The moral obligation contained In a con-
tract is its most vital element: without It, the
contract is worth but little. for when the moral
obligation is ignored the only question left TO be
determined is. on which side does the greater
profit lie2 II Il viii pay better to observe the
contract, then IL will be fulfilled II is the moral
and not the legal obligation that makes a con-
tract Of any kind valid and binding.
Men who have done the worlds work-per-

men who we're more noted for breaking than
keeping their pledges-the moral obligation has

Twill pass an hour or so.
And you'll find Il entertaining
And instructive, don't you know.
Don't let your angry passions rise
II there should be no heat
And you feel the icy breezes
Blowing strong about your feet,
But fight a royal battle. keep
Your temper and your seat.
And IL during all the journey
You are hanging to a strap,
And lust because you're on his feet
A man should want TO scrap,
Gently explain he should be thankful
You're not on his lap.
II you're cold and tired and hungry,
Do not swear and make a row!
Have patience! Ills q virtue
That sets well upon your brow,
And II really will not matter
A hundred years from now.
Zen though you stand the whole way
home,
Although you've paid your fare.
And they wont refund your nickel,
Be wise and don't you carel
Rejoice you've made some railroad man
A bloated millionaire.
