GERMANY TURNING TOWARD
PEACE?

PEACE?
Harrisburg. Pa, Star-Independent)
Friends of peace everywhere are
likely to see significance in the fact
that 'Vorwaerts," the German news
paper which was suspended by gov
eminent order by reason Of its in
sistent demands for a termination of
the war. has been permitted TO con-
tinue publication and has resumed
at once the aggressive advocacy of
peace According to a Berlin dis
patch "Vorwaerts" fatty demands
the end of the war in the following
language:
The real cause Of the high cost
of living is the long duration of the
war. Every successive week of the
war renders the economic situation
of the poorer classes more intoler-
able. The best safeguard in the flu
ture against the increase of prices
would be the speedy termination of
the war We rely on the leaders of
our party TO multiply their efforts,
and to see that everything in their
power is done to end the conflict
The great manufacturing interests,
the popular press and even the i'm
perial chancellor declare that there
is no reason for terminating the
struggle. seeing that Germany holds
Belgium. part of France and part of
Russia, and has the road TO Egypt
and India free. What does all this
i M N Huhfir0Cr tn
protect our frontier. but 10 add to
our territory. We appeal to the
party leaders to undertake an open
and frank campaign against all sorts
Of annexation plans, in order that
the constantly growing desire of the
proletariat for peace may be finally
4 satisfied. If the party enters reso-
lutely upon this road il will attach
to itself not only the great masses of
the people, but also all sections of
middle class society, who are equally
sick az war"
There is a strong suggestion in the
I facts that 'NOrwaerts' has been
permitted to resume publication and
TO continue TO advocate the peace
policy for which il had been ordered
/ 10 cease publication, that the Ger
man government may have changed
/ its policy and instead Of discourage
/ ing peace propaganda is actually
/ glad that a termination of hOstili-
/ ties is being urged. The same idea
I is suggested by the fact that other
influential German newspapers,
/ heretofore less outspoken on the
subject, are now being permitted
/ frankly to discuss peace possibilities.
/ Let us hope that this changed at
/ titude of the German press is sig
nificant of changed attitude of the
! German government which GER
| tainly. by reason OF its many vic
/ tories. is in a position to offer terms
\ OF peace 10 its foes on a basis Of
magnanimity and generosity. which
after all. is the only basis on which
/ permanent peace can be effected

A COMMON SENSE DECISION.
(Orlando, Fla, Sentinel.)

(Orlando, Fla, Sentinel.)
A Baltimore automobile owner in
vited a friend to go riding with him.
The friend accepted and they started
to the country. The owner of the
machine was evidently a speed
maniac; at least he didn't drive the
car with discretion, for he struck a
telegraph pole, and the friend was
injured. Then the friend sued the
owner of the car. and obtained judg-
ment for $1,700.
The supreme court Of the state of
Maryland has just passed upon the
case, and affirmed the judgment.
The court held that when one in
vites a friend to take a ride. the
friend has a right TO assume that
the driver will use proper precau-
ton. If he is careless, he ought not
to be allowed to plead. as this fell
low did, that the party who accepts
an invitation to take ride assumes
all Of the risk. The Maryland court
rendered a common sense decision,
and it ought to be accepted as a
leading case and govern in all other
states.

And evermOre he does his ancient,

He lets the weary passengers remain

Without a single easy chair and not

FOR THE OTHER FELLOW.
(Toledo Blade.

Former Pres't Taft has a $4,000
600 suggestion for the government.
The postmasters of first class post
offices do not work he says. their
duties being performed by deputies
and assistants. Removing the post
masters would save the four millions.
II might be asked why Mr.. Taft
did not make this saving while he
had the opportunity. The pOstmas-
tiers were just as needlessly orna-
mental in his time as in this. Their
appointment made just as much
trouble at the white house. Eff
cheney in the postal service was as
desirable and the introduction Of il
would have commanded the praise
il would get now.
Mr.. Taft would have an answer.
No man can run for the presidency
with any hope of winning unless he
plays the game Of politics. And un-
fortunately the postoftices are inn
portant bases in the game. They
serve as bait for the influential.
They help tremendously in the dis
charge of political debts.
The Taft suggestion is very good
thing TO urge on the other follow.

SOME DIVERSITY OF OCCUPATION

We take it from the Indianapolis Herald that the
Rumely corporation since ex-Sen. Stephen b.
Fleming became attached to it, has indeed become
something a diversified business From oil tractors
threshing machines. hullers. engines ETC. we have it
from the Herald that it also extensively engaged in
the manufacture of paper and beer. We quote:
"Ex-Sen. stephen B. Fleming Of Fort Wayne
and New York. in indianapolis Wednesday
and while here received a telegram from New
York informing him of his election there as a
director Of the National City bank-the Rookie
Teller bank. He is also largely interested in the
Rumey corporation. which has recently
purchased the big Rumely plant at Laporte Ind
and has many paper mills i'm this and other
states besides having recently bought outright
several breweres. The last brewery TO be pur-
chased Columbus O.. two weeks ago"
Now knew that eX-Sen Fleming was long on
breweries. and that he may interested in paper
mills but hardly thought he could in get
ting the Rumely corporation into il so quick Farm
implements machinery paper beer ought to
make splendid combination. hut we are inclined 10
imagine that perhaps Editor Ray in his exuberance
the brewery interests got to dreaming
that Fleming and Rumey were synonymous or maybe
that oil tractors and beer mugs mean somewhat the
same.
The name of the Rumey corporation is the Ad-
vance Rumey corporation and if paper mills and
breweries have really been added TO its repertoire II
has been advance indeed.

APPRECIATION OF THE
LATE DUDLEY BALDWIN

Editor Bonanza, Sir No one who
recalls the halvycon days of 1903 can
fail to remember gen,af. whole-souled
Dudley Baldwin, whose death has
just been announced. "A fellow of in
finite jest" and man who possessed
one of those God given dispositions
of pure sunshine that made his ac-
quaintanee coveted by everybody. He
became interested in the stocks OF
Tonopah in the very early days and
served up to the time of his death as
a member of the board of directors
of the Montana Tonopah Mines com
pany. He visited Tonopah the last
time in 1912. He lived in Cleveland,
Ohio, where his home from boyhood
had always been. Fortune had been
generous to him not only in the desir-
able goods of this world, but also in
the gifts of good health and appear.
ance. He was indeed a glass of fash.
ion, but the good Fellowship of his
nature and the excessive humanity of
his heart endeared him to the hum
blest miner as it did to the greatest
millianaires of the country, for he
knew both intimately.
Every party of which he was a
member regretted his departure sin
cerely for his delightful humor made
him the center of every circle, young
and old alike, and the recollections
come crowding on the writer Of the
pleasant hours spent in the company
of this most lovable of men who has
departed finally from earth, to the i'm
measurable beyond.
We hope he is happy.

parsons kitchen door and seemingly
begged for protection from the ele.
ments. He was furnished some food
and lost no time in gathering up the
crumbs that were strewn on the floor
and then hoped over to the parson
and flew to his shoulder, when the
ice was removed from his feet. The

for three years past to the decided
advantage of the company, as 1t was
under her regime that the leasing

Miss McCrate's position as secre-

mine, both under company account
and leasing regimes, with practical
direction of all the details, was some
thing unique in mining annals, parti
