—“THIS IS THE YEAR"—
HOW MANY AMERICANS are willing to believe as Senator Lodge
declares that “Wilson is un-American?”
THE NEWS used an eight column line to say that Hays swung a
gavel. What would it have done had he dropped it?
PRESIDENT WILSON tells some plain truths about congress and the
republicans immediately revive their slanders about his health.
PERHAPS they counted the votes that elected Watson chairman of
the resolution committee by a different method than was used in Indiana
in 1916.
JOHN HENRY ZUVER of South Bend says he is hurrying to the
Chicago convention because he understands “Wood is leading by a plu
rality of about $600,000!”
GEN WOOD left Chicago to return to his soldiers at Ft Sheridan, but
the army of staff correspondents hunting for Wapd sentiment stayed on
to report to Washington street
TWENTY PHOTOGRAPHERS gathered to get a picture of Gov. Good
rich—possibly to illustrate the garbage plant and convict mine stories that
. will accompany him on any other little excursions he may undertake in
* politics.
THE EVANSVILLE COURIER says the gods have been kind to Mr.
McAdoo insomuch tbat of all the prospective democratic candidates he
has been the subject of the least attack. Perhaps his record and refusal
to participate in the primary debauch had as much to do with it as the
Hods. > _ /
THE MUNCIE PRESS complains in one column because therte are re
* publicans who want to repudiate the leadership of the senate and in an
other column because the democrats refuse to repudiate the leadership
of President Wilson. If we must have repudiation why not repudiate Jim
Goodrich and all be happy?
Honors for Jim Watson
The victory of Senator Watson over his opponents for the chairmanship
of the resolutions committee of the national republican conventon can hard
; ly be attributed to the personality of the Indiana senator or to the strength
* of his personal following.
Watson won because the “elder statesmen” of W ashington realized that
in the resolutions committee reposed their only hope of framing a national
platform that would not indicate Johnson as the nominee for president.
* These “elderly statesmen,” intent wholly on selecting a candidate in
Iwhom they could place their confidence, were considerably annoyed yes
terday when Senator Lodge got more applause in the convention for refer
ences to the assassination of the Versailles treaty than references to the
“ntter destruction” of the president.
* They realized, then, if not before, that they were treading on exceed
' ingly dangerous grounds when they continued their effort to turn the hatred
‘of Wilson possessed by the radicals to their own election purposes and at
'the same time prevent the radicalism from controlling their party.
J The result of this realization was a concerted effort to place Jim Wat
'sod, eminently safe and tried, in the position where he could do the most
itoward making the platform conform to their ideas of what a platform
.should be—that is a platform on which anyone of their number might run
for the presidency.
It is, to many, gratifying to have the Indiana senator selected for such
*an important role in the republican convention affairs, especially since it
;is so well-known that there was considerable opposition to him among his
neighbors.
And in this connection it is more than interesting to consider just
Jwhat the two leading republican newspapers of this state are likely to find
,to their satisfaction in the history- of this campaign’s preliminaries.
I The News, it must not be forgotten, demanded that the party send an
iinstructed Wood delegation to Chicago.
* The Star, It Is less generally known, insisted that Albert J. Beveridge
should be the permanent chairman of the convention.
Neither wished Senator Watson to preside over the resolutions commit
-tee, nor was Gov. Goodrich exactly crazy about it.
But Watson prevailed, ju3t as the News failed to deliver the state to
Wood. ,
So far the News has accomplished nothing in this campaign except to
demonstrate its weakness, in the republican primaries, make an uncom
promising enemy of Joseph -B. Healing and deceive a lot of republicans as to
the strength of Gen. Wood in the national convention.
In the Garden of Hate
Whatever may be the outcome of the republican convention there can
be no doubt of the despicable nature of the strategy of the party bosses
that has brought about the peculiar situation now existing at Chicago.
Republican managers, with Will H. Hays at their head, planned long
ago to conduct a preliminary campaign of hate and create, without reason
or justification, an intense personal feeling against the president of the
United States.
They believed that if they could succeed in making President Wilson
personally unpopular they might, ifi the intense partisanship of a campaign,
fan that unpopularity into a sort of Intense resentment against anything
democratic and thereby create a situation where they could nominate
whom they pleased wiftT reasonable assurance of success at the polls.
With an immense.- amount of money at his disposal, with unlimited
avenues of publicity and a natural ability for anything dark and devious,
Chairman Hays accomplished the first part of his program to the satis
faction of the “elderly statesmen” who employed him for that purpose.
He deceived a great many people as to the character of President
Wilson.
He created a great deal of discontent and unpopularity for the presi
dent, who sought peace throughout the world.
But he failed to reckon with the radicalism and the hate he was
creating, and he made no plans to curb its manifestations in the con
vention.
The result is Johnson, shrewd and enterprising.
He has capitalized the sentiment Hays has created and centered It
about himself In a manner that makes him the most fornfidable of all the
candidates at Chicago.
Senator Lodge, with the official sanction of Chairman Hays, tells the
convention that President Wilson Is “un-American.”
The Johnson delegates cheer him to the echo, for they realize that
Johnson is the opposite of Wilson in all things and, in their passion, they
think Lodge is paying a compliment to their Idol.
As we have said before, the republican party today is reaping the
crop It planted in the garden of hate, in the first relaxation of a war-tried
pation.
It can not preach against President Wilson without pointing unerringly
to Johnson as the president’s consistent opposite.
Yet the republican party does not want Johnson.
It is willing “utterly to destroy” the president, provided, of course,
it suffers no penalty for the destruction.
A Republican Blunder
It is gradually dawning on the managers of the national republican
party that In their haste to adjourn the congress they have made a
tactical mistake that will be felt before she election.
The republican senate offered the party innumerable advantages ill
the way of wide dessemlnation of its propaganda.
From the floor of the senate party orators could spout privileged
speeches, spectacular and sure of attention.
With the adjournment of congress the Washington fountain head of
publicity is closed.
Washington date lines will, for the rest of this campaign, carry under
them the messages that the democratic administration Wishes to reach the
voters be- no orators at hand to start a bar^^

Not Well Paid
LONDON. June 9—Mis* Kate Terry,
sister of Ellen Terry, and the first of th*
famous theatrical family to appear on
the stage, makes much of a comparison
between salaries paid to "stars" in h
early days and the present figure.
“I appeared In Manchester about fifty
years ago. In my company were Charles
Wyndham and Nelllo Farren. They cer
tatnly did not receive more than $.15 pe*
week each, and I remember Use famous
comedienne, Mrs. Keelcy, telling me that
at the height of her career she never
got more than EV) a week.
Mls Terry's daughter. Miss Mabel Ter
ry Lewis. Is playing at the Ambassadors
theater and her niece. Miss Phyllis Netl
son-Terry, is also carrying on the family
traditions in stagecraft.
“I gave up acting to be married abont
fifty years ago,” continued the old lady.
"It seemed best at that time that I
should give up the stipe, bnt many a
time since that day 1 La wished that'
it might be possible for ms to know ones

VIENNA’S RELIEF
MISSION HELPS
THOUSANDS LIVE
Society of Friends Governed
by Economic Conditions in
Austro-Hungary.
VIENNA, June 9.—From a recent re
port it appears tbat no less than 106.090
liters of fresh milk, 10,828 eases of con
densed milk, 435,000 kilograms of flour,
fat, sugar, rice, cocoa aud other food
stuffs and 43,400 kilograms of soap were
distributed amongst tbe Viennese in the
first winter months between November
and March by ihe emergency and war vic
tims Felief committee.
The Friends' Relief mission has
throughout its work been anxious to
in mind the economic conditions of the
country, with a view to the future, and
also the reaction on the character of the
inhabitants, by the giving of relief in
large quantities.
Five years experience In the devastated
areas of France has led the society to
believe that It Is better for the self-re
spect of large masses of the population
to allow them to pay such prices as they
can afford for the articles of which they 1
stand in need, faking care that real cases
of destitution receive the gifts free.
Though the sums paid for food and
clothing bear an infinitesimal relation to
the cost of the goods, the method has met
with universal approval from the Aus
trians themselves.
The mission has endeavored Jo Increase
the milk supply available for young chil
dren by assisting the city council to buy
cows and fodder, also by subsidizing the
cost of the milk, which Is distributed to
the infant welfare centers for the use
of children.
This milk supply is entirely over and
above that which would be available but
for tbo efforts of the mission.
HOW TO AFD STUDENTS
18 A GREAT PROBLEM.
The communal farms have now 290 cows
which the mission has aided In procuring.
There are twenty-eight more to come.
Forty-olght of these cows have Just
been bought in Switzerland and will re
main mission property.
It may well ha wondered that In the
prevailing conditions any largo number
of students should bo found willing to
devote themselles to study, but the Aus
trians care for intellectual life so much,
that many thousands attend the univer
sity still, and of these a large proportion
are obliged to exist on an income far
below the necessary minimum.
The mission found such evidences of
distress that It sent out a worker to or
ganize the relief for students, aud special
funds are being raised.
Offices hMve been given for this purpose
in the university and furniture to the
amount of £2b has been procured for a
students’ hotel.
riothlng sale* are also arranged for the
poorest of the students, at which th>v
are allowed to buy the most necessary
garments at the very lowest prices.
Warm breakfasts are given, starting
with 500 students and Increasing shortly
to Ui oo.
The supplies for this are obtained from
f 1.000 granted by the Friends' committee.
£2OOO from the American Students Chris
tian union, £2O from the British Students
Christian union, also a grant of ton*
of sugar, cereal* and cocoa from Holland
Strident* Christian union and a half ton
from tho American Y. M. C. A.
"BETTER OFF" CLASSES
ANOTHER DIFFICT LTV.
Great misery exists amongst tho once
“better off" classes.
Tho total number of families helped np
to the present 1* 464.
The problem pf dealing with urgent
cases is extraordinarily difficult.
Th* society has been obliged to modify
its hopes with regard to the number of
children to be supplied, as th* Vienna
emergency relief fund acting with the
British "Hilfswerk fur Wiener Kinder"
can only promise supplies for 20,000 chil
dren up to July 31.
If the American Red Cross continues ita
present policy of supplying free rations,
the mission can hope for an additional
5.000.
The Society of Friends does not confine
its work to Vienna, but extends its
operations particularly over what remains
of the old Austria-Hungary.
Members of the mission have visited
Bregenz, Budapest, Tata-Banva, Graz,
Linz, Salzburg, Welner-Neustadt, Erzge
birge and Hainburg and arranged to send
food or clothing generally to the various
Institutions in the places.
A branch has been established at Gratz,
the capital of Styrla, with three workers.
A grant of 500 cases of condensed >tnilk
and 10,000 kilos of oatmeal -from the
American Red Cross is to be distributed.

Professor Finds Lazy Land in
South Pacific.
NEW YOKK, Jane 9.—There is no
high cost of living or other problems on
Easter island, the easternmost of the in
habited Polyensian group, according to
Prof. Alanson Bryan, zoologist and ge
ologist of 4 Honolulu, who arrived from
Valparaiso by the Grace liner Sants
Teresa, after a stay in this isolated re
pository of mystery in the South sea,
belonging to Chile, and 2,000 miles off
her eotet.
Prof. Bryan has been a year in the
South Pacific Islands making an effort
to determine tbe origin of their inhab
itants human, faunal and floral.
Ho said he believed he had discovered
evidence indicating that the island of
Juan Fernandez, the mythical abode of
Robinson Crusoe, about 400 miles off
Wash, and Alabama Sts., Just East of Courthouse.
LOOKS LIKE JIGGS HIT THE MARK.
Chtl, had been connected in a remote I
period with Hawaii.
Easter Island Is distinguished for Its
monolithic heads, sculptoreJ rocks and
Btone houses and the indolence of its
residents. Prof. Bryan said.
Some of the 555 heads, formed of vol
canic rocks, are more than sixty feet tall,
and many are adorned with hats.
The hearts are as solid as those of the
modern descendants of the natives, who
seem to be indifferent to everything
cept siestas.
Wfc.*a Prof. Bryan's boat drew along
side tfco Island pier one of the 250 in
babltautt was sitting on a box looking
Into space in a direction from the boat.
Although there had not been a vessel
at the island in eighteen months, th*
blase native did not even turn his head
to look at the newcomers.
The island is the queen of the doiee far
nlente group, and if there are folk lazier
than its \people Prof. Bryan has yet to
see them.
Sheep raising is the principal industry
and the sheep are the only workers, the
herders merely looking on and sleeping.
