ESCAPES WITH HIS LIFE.
BUT WASH TUB Is GONE

To cope with the disastrous work of
Germany's submarines, the inventive
minds of America have been laBoring
for some time to evolve beans that will
swiftly and surely answer the pur-
pose. Chief Of these minds has been
that of Thomas Edison, whose t.a.
government has requisitioned as the
most potential.
But there are others, less known,
but none the less jealous of their coun
try's needs, one of whom is Roy Pal
mer of near Poe. BY nature Of an
inventive turn Of mind. it was not
strange that he should set about to
contrive a means of safeguarding his
country from the awful havoc of the
German submarine. He did so, but
the experiment nearly cost him his
life. 1t isn't exactly nown-in fact,
it is said that he, himself, doesn't
know just how it happened. but, at
any rate. his wife's wash tub was the
ocean wherein he floated his destroyer.
Roy was about to make final test,
when there was terrific explosion.
No one was hurt. but we have it from
a reliable source that the tub is going
vet.

FILES CROSS PETITION
AND ASKS ALIMONY

And now comes Frank Hunter, who
was sued by his wife, Ida Hunsberger
Hunter, a few months ago, for divorce,
with a cross petition. In her peti-
ton, plaintiff charged defendant with
nearly every old thing, from drunken
ness both ways.
In his answer, Hunter AYERS that he
"has been a faithful and dutiful hus-
band toward plaintiff, as far as pos
sible, since marriage, but that plain
tiff, in total disregard of her marital
obligations and duties, has been guilty
of gross neglect Of duty ever since
marriage, in that she has nagged,
scolded and quarreled, compelling de-
fendant to seek an abode, that he
might have peace and quietness; that
plaintiff continually accused defendant
of entertaining other women for i'm
moral purposes and that she accused
him to his mother of being an immor-

al and lewd man; that she followed
him from place to place and bounded
him SO that he was finally forced to
seek refuge in a sanitarium at Phil
adelphia."
There are several other averments
by Hunter, but the crowning one is
this: "That the said plaintiff has con-
siderable wealth, and that this defen-
dant has no property Of any kind what
soever, and that by reason of said
conditions he asks the court to award
him alimony for his support, as his
personal earnings ar not sufficient"

Simmons and Underwood.

That was an interesting duel in the
Senate yesterday. Mr.. Simmons and
Mr.. Underwood have specialized on tax
alton, and are high in position and IN
their party's councils because of the
regulations they have established as stu
dents of economies. They are not spell
binders. Higher service is expected of,
and is performed by, them.
They were reared in the same school
Of economic thought. In the days when
the tariff was the leading issue and pro-
lection figured in the forefront, both
were on the anti protection side. Both
went into action as advocates of tariff
for revenue only.
The present issue is not the tariff. A
different kind of assessment for raising
money for the support of the govern
ment is before the Senate. very large
sum is necessary. There is no disagree
ment on that point The disagreement
arises over the distribution of the sum
among the sources of supply.
The issue finds Mr.. Simmons and
Mr.. Underwood in sharp and wide dis
agreement. The one speaks as the
chairman Of the finance committee and
in support of the committees action on
/. the House bill, and the other as mem
Der of the Senate promoted to his office
IS q recognition of and reward for his
House labors on revenue matters.
This disagreement is of moment be-
yond the present emergency measure.
We shah not return at the close of the
war to the old order as respects the
raising of revenue. That is to say, We
shall continue to raise more money from
direct taxation than we raised before
the war. The amount, of course, will
not be as large then as is now proposed
under the engencies Of war. But it will
be large, and there win be controversy
- to the details Of levy and collection.
For this reason all that is now being
aid in the Senate has great value. We
get from it opinions bearing on future
controversies as we'll as on the existing
controversy. The two parties are di-
viding. Mr.. Lodge and Mr.. Smoot are
importing Mr.. Simmons, while Mr.. I'm
derwood and Mr.. Bankhead are oppos-
ing him.

Germany and the Truth.

In one Of the paragraphs in his reply
to the Pope's peace proposal the Presi-
dent states that the purposes Of the
United States in this war are known
to the whole world. But he qualities i'm
mediately. They are not known to the
whole world. They are known to "every
people to whom the truth has been per-
mitted to come" Little time need be
spent in wondering just what he means
If the truth, the whole truth and moth
ing but the truth regarding Americas
Intervention were known to the whole
people of Germany they would be in no
mood to continue this war They have
been told that the United States is fight
ing simply because it wants more mu-
nitions profits and more trade and
wants to WELD larger power for selfish
reasons, and wants an excuse to raise
an army so that it can be prepared for
the troubles to come in the south. They
have not been told the truth, that the
United States went in because Of in
tolerable wrongs, because of the vile
crimes committed by the German gov
eminent, because Of the adherence with
which the German practices are viewed,
because Of the debasement by Germany
of the principles of humanity and of
international honor. Probably the terms
of this reply to Rome will never reach
them in full. They will be garbled and
edited and interpreted" We are con-
fronted by the spectacle of a govern
ment that does not hesitate to lie to
other governments, lying to its own peo-
pie by concealment and actual distor-
ton of facts.

Hendricks, had been . national figure
for twenty years.
In 1883, had the movement for the re-
nomination Of Mr.. Blaine succeeded,
Gen. Harrison would have been his as
sociate on the ticket. It was Mr.. Blaine's
deciination and influence that threw the
first place that year to Indiana, and it
fell to Gen. Harrison. Mr.. Blaine favor
ed the nomination.
In 1904 Mr.. Fairbanks gave strength
to the republican ticket in all the mid
die states, and carried his own state
with ease
In 1908, Mr.. Bryan, having been un-
successful with an eastern running-mate,
Mr. Sewell, and with an Illinois running
mate, Mr.. Stevenson, turned to Indiana
for luck in his third race, but again
failed Mr.. Kern could not help him
to victory on the Wabash.
The democrats were fortunate in
1912 in choosing Gov. Marshall, and last
year did the logical and intelligent
thing in choosing him again.
With Mr.. Hughes as their candidate
for first place, the republicans needed
for second place the most available man
of strength in the middle country, and
found him in Mr.. Fairbanks. Their
ticket was the best possible in the cir
cumstances. With it they carried the
states that had been considered pivotal.
and lost only because of surprises in
territory where they had considered
themselves invincible.

Beating the Submarine.

Reports to the Navy Department from
the American sea forces are encourag-
ing. 1t is evident that the methods of
patrolling the submarine infested waters
are reducing the efficiency of the Uboat,
and, although figures are not made pub
lie, it is asserted that the American fleet
has destroyed a number of German
craft Certainly the effectiveness of the
submarine is now being lessened. What
with patrols and new devices the losses
of protected ships have been cut to one
half of l per cent. This is large gain.
The submarines are, of course, taking
toll from the merchant fleet, sinking ap-
proximately score of British ships
weekly, and some of other nationalities
as we'll. But the percentage is percepti-
bly, falling from the heavy figures of
last winter when ruthless destruction
began.
1t has been demonstrated that fast
merchantmen, we'll armed, pursuing a
zigzag course in the submarine zone run
a very slight risk Of destruction. Slow
er ships conveyed by destroyers are
practically immune. The number of
merchant ships in service is increasing
in consequence Of these proofs that the
submarine is not master of the sea- The
United States is supplying constantly
growing patrol. 1t is impossible that
Germany should maintain the submarine
force at a ratio of increase as great as
that of the patrol. The German re-
sources of construction cannot be equal
to those of the United States.
1t is gratifying that the United States
should be so efficient in the sea service
in this war. Our Navy is counting heav-
| lily in the campaign. It may be con-
fidently claimed that the American naval
factor has virtually negatived the Ger
man submarine. This alone is an in
valuable contribution from the United
States to the war against Germany. But
more remains to come. The American
Army is in formation and its blows will
soon be felt by Germany, and there is
every reason to believe that they will
be powerful and effective.

Two Governors.

Gov. Burnquist of Minnesota has re-

their meeting is calculated to promote

has invited the council to hold its meet
ing in his state, and the pacifsts will
consequently assemble at Fargo Satur-
day.
These two governors present strik-
ing contrast. One of them, whether
wisely or unwisely, has refused to per-
nit meeting to be held upon the soil
of the state of which he is the executive,

Indiana and the Vice Presidency

The fact that the late Mr.. Kern was
Mr.. Bryan's yokemate in the campaign
OF 1908 recalls how often in the past half
century the two old parties have gone
to Indiana for second man in presiden-
tial campaigns.
In 1868 the republicans associated
Schuyler Coifax with Gen. Grant. and
elected their ticket. In point of ability
he was well qualified for the presidency
itself.
In 1876 Thomas A. Hendricks, very
much against his wishes, was nominated
for Vice President on the democratic
ticket with Mr.. Tilden, and the ticket
. carried Indiana on the strength Of Mr.
Hendricks name. The Hoosier leader
had aspired to first place, and was re.
luetant to fall in behind the New
Yorker.
i In 1880 the democrats again went ia
Indiana for their vice presidential can
didate, William b. English being the
man. He was wealthy, but not personal
