While $50 per cent of the 41,256
Hoosier retail stores are still in

Commerce survey disclosed today.
The tabulation was made from
1893 data by w. H. Meserole of the
marketing research and service di-
vision of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce.
THE highly urban character of
the retail trade in Indiana is shown
by the fact that while SIS per cent
of the population is urban, "a per
cent of the stores are in urban
places and these stores account
for nearly 81 per cent of the states
retail sales" Mr.. Meserole pointed
out.
Their business averages more
than twice that of the rural COM
petitors."
Mr.. Meserle's research for 1898
disclosed that STA per cent of the
stores in Indiana accounted for 1855

sales. All of these stores had vol

LEISURELY LIFE
A leisurely life. A life IN
which slow bodies and sluggish
minds could function readily
without fear of defeat. For little
had happened, yet, to quicken
the human tempo. In 1885, 1895
even in 1905-life still moved
at much the same gait it had
followed a thousand or a million
years before.
Somewhere, in those vague
and alien districts beyond the
veiled horizon, automobiles were
beginning to toot. telephones
were shrilling. the Machine Age
was getting under way. But
these things had not yet
touched our common village
life.
No shining 16-cylinder mon
ster competed with old Dobbin
or tempted the youngsters down
back lanes. No sleek and silky
stenographer, swift and sophis-
ticated, challenged Mons slow,
hit-or-miss technique. No NOV
les to make home life tire
some, meaningless discipline.
Life still ambled along
Then, with the sudden, diSrup-
tive violence of an explosion,
all that old, slow life went up
never again to be assembled.
And today our world is filled
with pitiful people who can't
snap into the tempo of 1885.
But why-they wonder, in
pitiful bewilderment - should
that be held against them?
They are all the good things
their parents taught them to be
a scant 80 years ago. They're
industrious, reliable, honest,
careful, patient, thrifty, kind.
And utterly loyal to anyone as.

them is only by competitive ex.
animation which the candidates
of pork barrel politicians would
not as a rule be able to pass.
The short-sighted enemies of
the Foreign Service have claimed
that it represents only a
privileged class dwelling mostly
in the New England and North
Atlantic States.
AS a matter of fact only 43
per cent of the Foreign Service
is made up of representatives
of these States.
The Central, Southern and
Western States contribute 81
per cent of the appointments to
this service, although the popu-
lation center of the country
falls in Southern Indiana-eaSt
of the Mississippi River.
Chief Justice HugeS, while he
was Secretary of State, called
the Foreign Service the Great
Department of Peace" Its 6S7
officers are spread over the en-
tire world.
They are reporting constantly
upon all sorts of questions in
which the Government is in
terested. They undertake to
supply the facts in the light of
which the Government can
come to sound conclusions.
Some Of the pork hunters of
Congress say the Foreign Service
should be reduced because our
foreign trade is on the decline,
REPULSE RAIDS
In saying this these politicians
advertise to the country their
ignorance of the facts. The
facts are that in 1884 the value
OF our exports showed a 27 per
cent increase over 1888. A dol.
lor value increase of nearly
half billion dollars.
If the Senate will take the
time to look into the facts it
will not repeat the mistake
made by the House. This is
no time to turn over the For
eign Service to the raids or ex-
ploitations of pork barrel poll
ticians.
The public interest demands
the maintenance of a. Foreign
Service representative of the
whole country and administered
on the merit system.
Such system keeps open the
door to those qualified by char
acter and training to enter upon
a career of useful service to the
country even though the COM
pensatlon be small and the work
hours long.
