The production which South Bend
saw last evening was an entertain

very large chorus, very much un-

instances 10 keep up the interest.
Their success, however. was in in

carded. An audience which could
not by any means be regarded as
squeamish on the question of stage
attire. was not percepubly enthused
over the display.
Among the principals of whom
William Norris was the chief, there
were several who won merited APP

tical The business and banking disrust of the admi nstration and it's Federal Reserve Board has been based upon the fear of political influence.
 There had been hopes that Mr. Wilson, reelected, would be constructive president and feel no longer the necessity for appointments and policies with view party politics personal But MT Wilson has great bee buZzing in his bonnet that is bigger than the Presidential Bee" His ambition is to crown his life with successful movement for world peace. To that end the Federal Reserve Board must be- come political board internationally.
 Those who have undercurrents of Washington n- formation know full well that the recent action of the Federal Reserve Board not action to protect American banking reserves and that it a ment allied with the German peace propaganda in this country.
 The Ford peace movement brought only ridcue. second peace movement allied with Washington npped in the bud by strong protests from Great Britain.

 Gallant little Japan steps forward with the wealth it has made from war supplies and offers the allies S5O.000,0O0.

 But what is democracy at home or abroad com pared with personal ambition to make world peace in grandeur surpassing all previous records from Washington?
 The suspicion of the Journal seems to be far fetched and that would be entertained except by strong sympathizer with the allies or vitally interested in trade in supplies. To bring end to such is wagng would be ambition which would fire any man, but 1t is hard how the position of the president a peace maker would be improved by having in cured the dspeasure of the allies who have twice rejected. the last time actually snubbins him his tender of this countrys good offices

The Contest

The inspection of all the uaI'o.s in the state in the gubernatoria contest will begin this morning. Though the friends of Governor Hunt have charged the inspectors of Mir. Campbell with employing dila- tory tactics the have insisted only upon their legal rights and that the should be conducted with decency and order It is suspected that these charges have been made to divert attention from conduct the part of the friends of the contestant who have the appearance of having been founderng in the dark though that appearance may only mask object up their sleeves"
 Why simultaneous contests instituted by them in the counties of Navajo and Mohave. which they have now been forced to abandon has not been explained It was at first claimed that one of these contests had relation the in this county though it is admitted that there were conferences between the attorneys the contestant in the various and that the grounds of these contests substantially the same
 Though the margin by which MT. Campbell has been declared elected is narrow one the chances are that it will not be overcome Such corrections of the official count be made, if any made will be as likely to be in favor of party the other. No specific grounds been stated for be- lieving that changes will and we do not be- leve that the friends the governor are aware of any good reason why there should be any changes The governor have luck than the fisher man He has everything to gain and nothing to lose in the recount. Lightning is likely to strike at given spot but it may do so.
 We are assuming here that the governors friends are sincere, that they do want to overturn the will of the people, that they only want to be sure that the popular will has been correctly recorded If that assumption is not if the friends the governor have some purpose to him in regard less of the vote, think they will ultimately fail and that to succeed would be the worst thing that could happen to the governor politically
 some of his friends supporting the contest purely on partisan grounds, but they cannot make a lrtsan matter of this If they should defeat the will the people they would, the time defeat the wln of some l2OOO Democrats who voted for Mir campbell These Democrats for voting for him would not be removed, by any proceeding resulting in defeat of their purpose. but their reasons would be extended voting against those responsible 4Or the proceedings.

All persons figuring on dispatching pack ages to distant points are urged 10 mail their parcels at the earliest possible date to insure their delivery on or be- fore Christmas

 Arrangements have ben made for securing from Florida fishermen supply Of very large shark skins; and further specimens are expected from other sources, especially from number of light ships off the south Atlantic and Gulf coasts The Bureau of Lighthouses is cooperating in this matter and will authorize the southern lightships to catch sharks and their skins The Bureau of Fish cries is supplying fishing tackle The skins will be seht 10 tanners Tor treatment Tn various and 1t is hoped that such material will prove so useful that fishermen on all parts of may hereafter find market for the skins of all kinds of sharks now incidentally caught in line and net fishing
