Wfr 7 elcome, G. A. R,
This week Indianapolis extends its arms, figuratively speaking, to the
Members of the Grand Army of the Republic who meet in reunion years,
Hlmost generations, after the War of the Rebellion. Civil War was so
Hta&ic, its sacrifices so great, that it is almost unbelievable two subsequent
ars in which the United States was active have intervened.
To, the younger generation the causes of that war and the 'conditions
:ading to them are now unthinkable.
Hatred on each side, a long series of political agitations, jingoism in
te South and unrelenting protest against slavery in the North created
onditions which war only cured.
It was a time, too, with all due respect to the younger generations, in
rhich losses were more severe, suffering more acute and suspense more
rying than our nation haa ever witnessed.
Back of all was the old question of slavery of the negro. This then
lomentous question was settled in characteristic American fashion. His
ory records that when all negotiations and offered compromises failed, we
umed our citizens into soldiers, disciplined ourselves to endure with
hem anything that might occur and made a conclusion by force of arms.
Sow could it be other than thus when one side of the controversy got be
yond reason and good sense? Right eventually asserts itself, although we
nay not see the way or reckon the time. Some of those young men who
vent forth in theii* humble way, who obeyed the call of the nation, are as
lembled with us. We recall stories of those terrible years. We now bless
those great hearts for the work they did, for the foundation of human lib
erty o well laid. Greetings to those who assisted in any manner in this
ask. The reward is double; unending gratitude of a living nation, inelud
ng now those who were enemies, and the eternal satisfaction of having
>erformed a trying duty in a desperate time. The South no longer wants
tecession, while slavery is a thing forever passed. The nation has, since
that war—and made possible by it —extended its ideals of liberty all over
the world.
The sacrifices as these men fought have kindled within the survivors
a fire of jealous regard for the rights of humanity, never to be extin
guished.
Forever, we are a nation not half slave and half free. Our gratitude to
those who assisted in this emancipation should be unbounded.
We bid welcome to those who joined with the great martyred Lincoln,
in the vision, then so distant, of the eternal truth of equality of rights. We
honor those who, as he took up the burdens of the nation, seeking a united
people under one Sag, supported him while he uttered the words in his plea
for union: .
y “The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and
patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land,
will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched, as surely they
will be, by the angels of our better nature."
Taggart's Tour
The proposed touring of ninety-two counties of Indiana by Thomas
Taggart, democratic nominee for senator, in the last days of this cam
paign is as dangerous as it is unnecessary.
It is dangerous for the reason that it would compel Mr. Taggart to
risk a physical breakdown at a time in his life when the people of Indiana
need him in the utmost vigor.
It is unnecessary because Mr. Taggart will carry to them no greater
message than he has already given in the announcement of his candidacy
against Senator Watson.
The people of Indiana wish Mr. Taggart to go to Washington to
represent them in afTairs of state. They want him there because they
have unlimited faith in his ability and willingness to speak for them on
matters that affect them through national government. They know that
in the brief period he served in the senate he was far more interested
in doing the “things that count” than in lining up an organization for the
purpose of retaining his seat.
The people of Indiana know Mr. Taggart as a business man who has
no personal motive in seeking a senatorial seat. They know that he will
be free to consider each subject that comes before him in his official
capacity in its relation to the people of Indiana and of the nation and
they know that none of his actions will be hampered by feag of the effect
that might he produced on the political organization to which his opponent
looks for the future.
Knowing *these things and having absolute confidence in his integrity,
the citizens of Indiana are not demanding any personal pledges from
Mr. Taggart as to his conduct in the senate.
He is the one man in Indiana whom the voters are willing to entrust
with a power of attorney to represent them in accordance with the dic
tates of his conscience and without any specific contract.
N While there are thousands of persons in Indiana who would travel
a long way and overcome many obstacles to greet Mr. Taggart, it is
umecessary for him to stump this state in order to obtain their support.
Nothing could be more foolish than to compel him, through high regard
for him and his ability, to waste his strength and perhaps his health in
an unseemly scramble personally to pledge to the people of Indiana what
every one knows he will give them as their senator.
Let Jim Watson heat the bushes for the stray voter who needs to be
convinced of sincerity. Mr. Taggart is known to be sincere.
And it will profit the people of'lndiana very little if Mr. Taggart is
compelled to expend the energy that he will need ,at Washington in a
gruelling campaign tour that, at best, can only strengthen the regard that
now exists for him.
Explained
The transportation department of the South Bend Chamber of Com*
' nserce is credited with the report that it hag saved local/ firms $600,000
during the last year by tracing lost shipments. This is remarkable if true.
The average layman cannot appreciate any such losses nor how they could
nccur, therefore the remarkable part of the report.
In the first place, if the Chamber of Commerce recovered half a million,
how much must the transportation line have found and indeed, how much
was lost? Surely the transportation line did as well as the Chamber of
Commerce, so the loss must have been enormous.
Recently there was a train of cars stolen out of Chicago, but it was
found by the police. At least, it would not have required the services of the
Chamber of Commerce, but as this occurred In Chicago and not in South
Bend, we are safe in assuming the recovery did not Include any train of
ears. _ N
The city of South Bend is usually associated in the mind by the ad
vertisements we see in the magazines—automobiles, plows and watches.
An analysis of the situation, by elimination, leaves us equally in the dark.
Os course, the watches are shipped by express and would not be lost. The
plows are too big to get away and the automobiles would not be returned
if lost, strayed or stolen.
There seems only one way wq oan make the figures balance. Some
wicked corporation tried to steal a car or two of coal, under the legal term
diversion, from a poor public utility, and along came the Chamber of Com
merce and made them give it back. v x

HOROSCOPE
“The stars incline, but do not compel."
TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 21.
This should be a fairly fortunate day,
according to astrology. Saturn is iu
benefit - aspect while Uranus changes
from friendly to sinister sway.
There is a better promise for mines
and mining under this direction of the
stars. Larger output seems to be indi
cated.
The sudden dictation of a man who
represents a great organization or even
a foreign country seems to be forecast.
Positive opinions will distinguish one
public man in contrast to another at this
time and on their differences bungs a
decision ot supreme moment, the seers
declare.
During this planetary government
older men and women should greatly
benefit, since the self-confidence of the
young is diminished, their egotism be
ing reduced to a minimum. Schools and
colleges will gain greatly from this
rule.
As the autumn advances there will be
increase in crime, it is foretold, and the
public mind will be aroused to the need
of scientific treatment for criminals.
Children again come much under the
influence of rinister stars and they
should be especially safeguarded. More
than two years ago Increase of kid
naping was foretold and now the stars
give warning of ill-treatment and even
murder.
The prevalence of crimes against the
young is held by occultists to precede
u general awakening o the value of chil
dren to a nation and a nation's respon
sibility to children.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the forecast of quiet and successful year
in which they should be especially care
ful about papers anti writings.
Children born on this day may be ex
ceedingly quick and persevering, but
they may have too much imagination
and should 'be trained to exactness in
thought and word. —Copyright, 1920.
with him. riease, Virginia—please. It
means so much to him—and he's only a
boy hurried into beiug a man. Will you
trust Phoeba to me?'’
There was a minute's pause. Then
Virginia's voice came back to me with a
queer little husky note in it.
“After all, Anne, young love—and
faith—comes only once. I'm going to
Betty—and I'll send Phoebe to you.’ \
Her kindness startled For a min
ute 1 glimpsed something behind the
curtain of her own life. I couldn't have
anything but tha truth between ua at
that moment.
“Thank you, Virginia. I thought all
of us would get out of the way a little
while—even I, though that hurts roe. Ho
I asked Betty to phono you—will you
forgive ms for scheming?"
I heard Jim ejaculate:
"Well, of all tha tactless things'.“
Then a strange sound came over the
wire, Virginias laughter—clear and sil
very—full of honest amusement.
“Ho, Betty’s conspiring against tba
'cruel stepmother’ also—how delicious!
PI pay that scamp for her scheming and
conniving. Tall the boy I wish him luck,
Anne—and if he's feeling kindly toward
me, I’ll geo him when he comes back"—
before he goes overseas. Goodby, you
amusing person!”
Smiling with delight I left the phone.
Virginia and I had shared a laugh. She
had patronizlugly Sailed me an “amus
ing person,' while she had cosily and
chumniily exclaimed that Betty was a
"scamp." But not even those contrast
ing atitudex bothered ulg then.-Copy

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Q. How did Chambers of Commerce
originate and what is thsir purpose?
W. H. C.
A. The Chamber of Commerce, as an
organization, originated on the European
continent, when the old guild system was
gradually done away .with. The princi
pal object of having a Chamber of Com
merce was to have a body of business
men who had the power to act In their
community in passing upon municipal
and administrative measures in the in
terest of that community. These wefe
functions formerly exercised by the craft
guilds. In America and England, the
Chamber of Commerce is a voluntary or
ganization which has no recognized offi
cial functions i but is a body of merchants
and traders associated for the purpose of
promoting their own Interests and those
of their community. The first Chamber
of Commerce recorded was that organized'
in Marseilles, France, which grew out of
a commission of merchants, It was es
tablished in 1599 and enlarged in 1650.
The next Chamber of Commerce was or
ganized in Dunkirk, Scotland, in 1700.
The first organization in America was
that of New York City, organized in 1768.

McCulloch, at Sullivan, Prom
ises Attention to Labor.
SULLIVAN, Ind., Sept 20.—1n an ad
dress made here, Dr. Carleton B. Mo
Cullooh, Democratic nominee for Gev
ernor, declared that if all labor dis
putes, where approached la a fair-minded
manner, grounds for agreement can al
ways be found.
"The natural desire and aspirations
of labor are bettor working conditions,
opportunity for rest and recreation,
better hours and something more than
a ‘living’ wage,” the speaker said. ‘‘lf
these things'had been granted at once
Instead of grudging, after expensive
and their long train of disas
trous conseqpences everybody would
have been better off.
"Adequate consideration for the in- 1
Jured, provisions for the safety and wel
fare of workers and the establishment
of happiness and contentment will have
my earnest consideration If I am elected
Governor.’
The speaker discussed State Issues
and paid particular attention to the
Goodrich tax law and the gross ex
travagance of the State Highway Com
rqlssion. _ '
Dr. MuCulloch said the Republican
leaders approached the making of the
•present tax law with the wrong motive.
Instead of having the rectification of
the old law In mind, the leaders thought
more of perpetuating a centralized or
ganization for political purpose*.'
He said the so-called home rule bill
which the special session of the legisla
ture enacted “was a fraud upon the
face of It.” '
It postpones nntll next year Its oper
ation, whereas it was regarded as emer
gency legislation and one of the rea
sons for callings special session of the
legislature.”
Dr. McCulloch pledged the Democratic
party to a repeal of the tax law and
the return of home rule to all coon -
inuintles, so that they can spend theit
own money for their own improvements.

farmers heard the speech.
