PRINTING TRADES UNION COUNCIL MUNCIE. IN The peroration of President Wit. son's inaugural address is not only oratory, but poetry. It might be turned into blank verse, more melodipus than Whitman's, and quite as pregnant with meaning: "This is not a day of triumph. It is a day of dedication.

Here muster, not the forces of party, But the forces of humanity. Men's hearts wait upon us; Men's lives hang in the balance. Men's hopes call upon us To say what we will do. Who shall live up to the great trust? Who dares fail to try? I summon all honest men, All patriotic, all forward-looking men To my side. God I will not fail them, will helping, But counsel and sustain me." THE BURDEN BEARERS.

WILSON IS A POET. There is a lesson worth noting in the case of the minister's wife who ran away from home and became the paramour of a criminal, and who, aftor a three months' absence from home Is begging for the forgiveness of her husband in Chicago. Her story is not an excuse for her conduct, but it is an explanation. For years the woman had been engaged in the rearing of a family and the care of a husband who was busy with public activities. For years the wife had been in the treadmill of daily routine.

It was one baby after another, one day of life wearing, nerve wracking toil after another no change in the dead monotony of existence, until finally the moral machinery of the woman gave way, like Lowell's "wonderful one horse shay," and the unsatisfied craving for change found expression in a criminal adventure. Not many women give expression in this way to Nature's protest against ceaseless running in a mental and physical rut. The insane asylums of Indiana are, however, full of women whose pathetic condition represents the same protest. And there is unhappiness in thousands of homes, and more activity in the divorce courts than there otherwise would be, because men and women with the responsibilities of home making upon them, fail to realize the necessity varying the wife's monotonous roundof toil by an occasional breaking up of the usual current of existence. There is physical and mental renewal in change.

Nature wars against monotony. The scientific agriculturalists long ago taught us the necessity of crop rotation to the fertility of the fields. We need to apply this same lesson to the case of the woman who is chained to household duties, year in and year out. If the husband who wonders at the fretfulness of a nervous wife would try his hand at her lob for a few days, he would realize the necessity of giving her an occasional look outside the walls of a home that to many a mother becomes a prison. If a mental upset does not result, there is at least likely to follow a degree of abormality which the head of the house is inclined to consider bad temper.

A husband owes something more to wife than physical maintenance, and if he fails to realize this and to act upon the realization, the penalty is likely to be paid in the wife's broken health and a chronically irritable state of mind. Sometimes the result is akin to that which is referred to in the first paragraph of this editorial. A witness before the white slave investigating committee in Illinois declared that many girls went wrong from the sheer longing for human companionship. Some wives are isolated as fully by those who have sworn to love and cherish them as if they were on an uninhabited oasis in a desert. And usually this isolation results simply from the thoughtlessness of the husband, rather than from intention.

Women who follow one ceaseless round of household duties should be forced into occasional departures from this channel-if the use of force in such a project is necessary. Children should be brought to a realization of the necessity of letting mother have a little of the excitement and recreation, rather than that she should sacrifice it all for their supposed welfare. This treatment of the household's burden bearer will rob the insane hospitals and the graveyards of many victims, but it will make many a home a place of real contentment, and the tears that fall on the grave of the mother will not be bitter with the recollection of her hard, self-sacrificing, eventless life. A Minnesota woman has offered $25 reward for the return of her husband. she expects a woman to turn him in, she should have made it $24.98.

If Freedom shrieked when Kosciusko fell, what do you suppose she did when Woscyznski defeated Modrzejewski for mayor of West Hammond last week? The Indiana male sugar crop is said to be a failure. In the good old days before we had a law requiring an affidavit with every can of syrup, there was no such word as failure in the bright lexicon of tree molasses. President Wilson says that we have a tariff which "cuts us off from our proper part in the commerce of the world." Our foreign commerce has quadrupled in the last few years, and the beauty of it is, that it has been showing a big balance in our favor. Speaker Champ Clark, it is announced, will appoint his own son, recently come of age, as parliamentarian of the house of representatives at $4,000 a year. Champ is determined that he shall never be accused on scriptural grounds of being worse than an infidel.

Congressman Finley Gray blames the failure of the last legislature to pass a universal primary law on Joe Kealing. They are 80 used to blaming everything on Joe Kealing in the Sixth district, that he has to be the goat for a legislature that was 95 per cent democratic. Donn Roberts, of Terre Haute, whose reputation as a politician is an affront to the olfactories, has become an insurgent on the ground that the regular democratic machine procured his defeat for the mayoralty nomination by fraud. Donn is one of those reformers who realize how infamous the steam roller is as soon as they begin to ride under it instead of on top of it. ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC VICTORY.

(Chicago Inter Ocean.) It has been annound by Dr. Simon Flexner, director of the Rockefeller Institute for Scientifie Research, that the organism which causes infantile paralysis has been found and cultivated. This means, of course, that it will probably not be long before a means gof destroying this organism will be found, and thus another dangerous disease must yield to scientific research and laoratory investigation. No for the treatment of infantile paralysis is now known to the medical profession, with the result that many cases of the disease have had a fatal termination. The disease has been peculiarly dangerous to young children, hence its name, although there also have been a number of cases where it has attacked adults.

Dr. Flexner says that the organism which he has discovered is one of the smallest which has ever been identified, and this is probably the reason why it was not found earlier. This is another to the list of benefits to humanity which from the founding of the Rockefeller Institute. SHAKEUP AT ANDERSON Anderson, March or. der of the police board, effective Sun.

Captain Williamson was assigned to night desk work. Detective Allison was again placed on patrol duty and Superintendent Pritchard will assist the night men. The force recently had eightee nmen.

The police board also issued an order that all immoral resorts be closed and that all unlawful sale of liquor be stopped. It was denied that the order of the board was due to a union revival of several churches now in progress. U. S.

DELAYIN TH GAME: SATTE DECISION OF COURT MEANS MORE TROUBLE Washington, March 18. -The decision of the supreme court of the United States in declaring constitutional the principal of guarantee of bank deposits means real trouble for the democratic majority in congress in the view of politicians here today.

Already members from the western states are discussing the advisability of incorporating in any currency legislation to be passed a plan guaranteeing deposits in all national Such action has been bitterly fought by the great eastern banking systems. It was from them that the cash came to finance the losing fight against the Kansas law. And there would be every likelihood of a division in the cabinet. Four years ago at the personal demand of Candidate Bryan, secretary of state, the democratic convention at Denver endorsed the guarantee of bank deposits. This section was bittery opposed by eastern delegates who characterized the plan as socialistic.

And in the ensuing campaign it was one of the real issues and was defended at length by Bryan. Now the western congressmen who have been exercised over currency reform because they believed the "money trust" would try to slip joker into any measure that hight be conisdered, openly assert that the platform, of four years ago will be kept when currency reform is assured. They believe the guaranty law to be an excellent one. But they also expect that there will be bitter opposition to its enactment. Bryan will be looked for to advocate it.

The opposition will be expected to come from Secretary of Treasury McAdoo and his first assistant, John Skelton Williams, of Virginia. The latter has been classed as a "gold democrat" and, as a banker in Virginia, has already gone on record as opposed to the principle of guaranteeing bank deposits.

For Removal of Riverside School to Site Immediately North of Present One A second petition for the removal of the Riverside school to a site immediately north was filed with Township Trustee C. E.

Pittenger late Monday afternoon. The petition asks that the site be made on the Lewis tract at the corner of Riverside and Missouri avenues. It was circulated by the committee appointed at a town meeting held in Riverside a few weeks ago, The workers claim that they have enough names to constitute a majority of school patrons and that the site will be changed. It is expected that Trustee will sign the petition, as he is in favor of changing the site. The matter will then go to County Superintendent Black for solution, and he will order site changed if the petition bears the names of a majority of the school patrons.

Those opposed to the change are circulating withdrawal cards and say will defeat the petition. A similar petition was filed with the county superintendent some time ago but was found not to contain the names of a majority of the patrons. WOMEN WIN VICTORY. Lafayette, March a fight extending over a period of a quarter of a century it has been finally decided that the peanut and sandwich wagons must leave the court house square. The venders who have for years been holding forth nightly on the square have received notice from the sheriff that they must move at once.

The county commisisoners issued the order Saturday and it was served by the sheriff. The fight against the peanut and sandwich venders has been waged by many different organizations for the last fifteen years. Finally the woman's council took it up and it was this organization which finally won. ONCE DECATUR EDITOR.

JOB HUNTERS ARE BOTHERING THE CABINET Great Problem Is How to Get Rid of Horde of Patronage Seekers (By United Press.) Washington, March to get relief from the hordes of patronage hunters was one of the greatest problems which occupied the attention of the cabinet today.

With Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo frankly admitting that up to the present all of his time had been occupied in listening to the importunities of the men--and in many instances the women--who "would save the nation," it was certain that some method would have to be devised to separate the sheep from the goats. And today's session was more or less an experience meeting along that line. While the office seekers are bewailing the cruelty of the administra. tion on the various street corners and alongside of the mahogany bars of the city, President Wilson and his aides are 'sitting tight. Only such jobs as must filled are being dis posed of.

The result will de that when congress assembles in the special session next month the administration be prepared for "either a fight or a frolic." Should the leaders want to oppose the executive demands for legislation that will redeem the party p'ledges, President Wilson can do much with the individual members. Because some of the job hunters believe that this plan is to be followed, they are starting back home to return when congress is in session. But they are comparatively few. The remainder intend to stick and make personal demands, and It to devise some plan of heading them off that the cabinet members are worrying. How to do it without hurting the feelings of sonte of the influential politicians is a problem, MRS.
