For many years some of us have
been living too high.
A man lives too high yvhen he
spends the bulk of his income on
things he doesn't need and doesn't lay
by for what he knows he's bound to
need.
.Mortgaging a home to buv an auto!
is an example.
It's tine when a fellow can have an
auto; but it's wiser to pay for the
home first.
It's also better for the automobile
business, for a sane trade is steadier.
Same way yvith amusements. We
need play and fun. But there is
plenty of good fun and play to be had
without rushing knee-deep into debt
and taking our pleasure at the expense
of the butcher and the baker.
Spending more than he earned never
yet made anybody really happy. I.east
of all Is it gocd for business. The fewer
the doubtful accounts the safer is
business.

Statesmen Real
and Near.
By Fred C. Kelly
Kep. Edward W. Townsend of New
Jerse , author of "Chimmie I'adden,"
sat listening to the debate in the sen
ate chamber the other day, and it re
minded him of the last time he went
to a hanging.
Whereupon you who read this won
der what sense there can be in a man
letting his mind jump from the sen
ate chamber to a hanging. And the
answer is that Townsend simply
couldn't help it.
Two senators were endeavoring to
talk, or rather one was talking and
the other was ir terrupting. As fast
as the ot;e who w'as talking would say
anything the other party to the
sketch would rise to ask a question in
a loud voice. This gradually irritated
the first senator until he refused to
yield any more of his time and the
man who had been interrupting was
forced back into his seat.
It was then that Townsend thought
of the hanging. He thinks of the
hanging, it seems, nearly every time
he sees a boisterous, persistent orator
forcibly compelled to stop talking.
. i
Townsend was a reporter on one of J
I the urmprs out In T-'rUnn nnrl rrvse hv

I position of execution editor. This is, )
! whenever a prominent man was to be I
hanged. Toyvnsend was sent to yvitness i planned that 200 Indianapolis people
the exer-.ires. He became so adept at make the trip. Aside from its indi
writing up hangings that to read onelvidual merit, the "$100. noo prosperity
of his accounts was almost as enjoy- i exhibition" is noteworthy in the ap
able as seeing the event itself. I peal it makes for optimism. A city
One of the hanging parties Town-
send attended was in Reno. Nov.
Among those present, by the way, Was
Franklin K. Iine. also a reporter at
that ti,m'- hl,t nmv lf,rel-v the secre-
tarv of the interior. He and Town-
soml did not meet from that day un-
til they ran across each other here in
Washington a year or so ago.
The principal of the occasion was a
man who had for years been one of
the foremost murderers in Xevada.
Four times previously he had been
sentenced to be hanged, but had al
yvays managed to escape on some
ihuke. He bad get it into hii head that
a death sentence was of little conse
quence and that he would finally die
of old age. And there yvas where he
got off yvrong in his viewpoint. It
stands to reason that a man who
keeps getting himself sentenced to he
hanged will carry his pitcher to the
w'ell too often. But this man couldn't
see it. Right up to the moment when
they pulled the drop he was certain
he yvas going to avoid his part in the
entertainment.
The hanging took place in a yard
surrounded by a high fence. Several
hundred people were gathered out
side, although the fence yvas too high
tor them to see yvhat was going on.
The prisoner, yvhen asked if he had
anything to say. had a great deal to
say. He addressed himself to the
crowd outside and cordially invited
tnem to rush against the fence, break
it ilnun nnd rescue him from nn nn.
................
.. i c.,,
it
never s'-emeq to occur to him that they
yvouldn't do it. He yvas the most
cock-sure man. Townsend says, that
he ever saw. While waiting for the
croyvd to; tear down the fence the
prisoner addressed himself to the
sheriff, called him many uncouth
names and told him what he yvas go-
ing to
do to him as scon as he es-
j taped.
! The sheriff yvas too polite to take
! mean advantage of a man about to
' die a premature death, and did not
talk back to him or even try' to stop
his speech. But yvhen the man had

sheriff saw that it would be necessary
to adopt some parliamentary proce
dure and place a time limit on his re
marks. He took out his yvatch and
said to the prisoner:
"George, you have just five min
utes more. So if there's anything
special you want to say. you'd better
crowd it into that time."
The five minutes rolled around and
the man was still talking.
;
"I'm not near through yet." he said.
and yyent right en.
Wei', the sheriff yvas good natured
and lot him have another five minutes ;
rather than spoil his closing remarks, i

Kokomo's "JlOO.ii im prosperity ex

culture and manufactures. Kokomo
has several important automobile
factories, steel plants, plate glass ts-
tablishments and numerous mills. It
has prospered within the last 20
Years oil an linUSlial degree. I IlOI'P-
lore it can well afford to have ail e-
hibition. Excursions from many
parts of the state are being run. It is

i slioyy unless it has something to ex-
i hibit. Kokomo's prosperity is indi
1 cative, we hope, of conditions else-
yvliere in tne normern pari oi no-,
state.
During state
fair week there is t
be held in this city a "made-inid In
dianapolis" exhibit. The Chamber of
Commerce expects beneficial results
from such an undertaking. The state
fair yvill bring thousands of visitors to
Indianapolis. Such fairs, in their in
dutsrial features, are by no means
confined to state activities. Hence it
sometimes happens that local busi
ness, unless energetic, loses consid
erable trade to outside firms. Mak
ing purchases may be said to depend
largely on habit." all other things
quality and price especially being
equal." It is the idea of the Chamber
of Commerce to arouse visitors to the
desirability of patronizing home in
dustry. There really ought to be such reci
procity. Looking at the subject from
a larger yieyy. a prosperity" exhi
bition in Kokomo. Fort Wayne or
Evansvllle. rightly calls attention to
the activities of those cities and at
tracts more trade. There is enough t
trade for all. Howard county peo
ple may find that they can not meet
all their needs in Kokomo. Then they
should go to other Indiana centers
yvhich in time yvill also seek Kokomo
products. Goods made in Indiana

COCHTESIES AND DECENCIES i
OF WAR.
Among the officers of the German
vessels sunk by tiie British in the en
gagement off Heligoland yvas the son
of the German naval commander in ,
chief. Admiral von Tirpltz.
A mind intent on grasping every I
ady antage yvould have left the fate ;
of the younger Yon Tirpitz in doubt. '
Resolute fighter though he may be.
Admiral von Tirpitz is human, and
unrelieved anxiety about his son
yvould tend to lessen his professional
ellieiencj..
Winston Churchill, head of the .
British admiralty, did not grasp this
small though real advantage. Instead '
he has asked that the American am
bassador at Berlin inform Admiral
von Tirptz: "Your son yvas saved
and is not yvounded."
It is to be regretted that Mr.
Churchill could not send similar in
formation to the fathers and mothers
of all the German seamen rescued by
their Brtish foes. However, he has
done something that shows a gener-
i ous miuii, not unregaruiui or me
courtesies and decencies, even in ;
time of war.
If there were more of the same;
spirit on all sides yy e should not be

BOOKER WASHINGTON'S ADVICE.
In a speech made at a gathering of
white and colored people at Tuskegee
the other day. Booker T. Washington
emphasized anew his teaching to the
member? of his race that the settle
ment of their problem depends upon
themselves.
They must solve it. he said, as the
white man did his, by acquirng edu
cation and wealth. This is so plainly
the solution of the negroes' troubles
that it should be clear to every one.
When they look around them and see
what intelligence and monejr can ac
complish they should see the answer
to their questions there.
It is perfectly true that they have
many handicaps and the way to
wealth is not as widely open to them
as to their white brethren because of
impediments that the latter have put
in the path, hut the while man has
difficulties to overcome also and
overcomes them.
Every educated, high-minded negro
in a community becomes a force not
only among his own people, but In a
general way. as a citizen. His money
accomplishes as much for him as the
white man's money achieves. There
is no color line in commerce. If a
negro has something to sell that other
people wish to buy his complexion
cuts no tigure In the matter. If he
has money to lend white men will
borrow it and pay him interest and
respect him.
Next year an exposition showing
the educational, industrial and com
mercial progress of the cohered peo
ple of the Cnitcd States in the last
half century will be held in Rich
mond. Ya. It will be a notable dis
play, for the advancement of the rare
hes been great. It is made possible
by the fact that many thousands have
acted on the principle advocated by
Booker Washington. They have gono
ahead and. done what they could, not
grumbling because ways were not
made easier for them, but overcom
ing obstacles themselves. That expo
sition should he a great object les

THE PHILIPPINES.
The minority of the house commit- i
tee on insular affairs is right in hold-'
ing that the time is not favorable
a general discussion of Philippine mr.-i
ters. There is nothing in the report
of an alarmist nature, nor is there ;
any reason for alarm. The minority .
simply suggests that in the present
complicated state of affairs it would
not be wise to raise any questions as
to the government of the islands or
as to a possible change even at a
remote date in their sovereign. It
should be noted that the republican
j minoritv of the committee does not
oppose Philippine independence it
simply argues that It should not be
considered now. "The minority,"
safcvs the report, "would be glad to
consider at any time any bill for the
! benefit of the Filipino people and to
extend to them from time to time a

The question is certainly not one f
pressing importance. It ran be dealt
with net vear metre satisfactorily
than now. The Philippines are within
the war sphere, though tl -y are in
no danger of being inwlwd. W-"
think that it is a fortunate thing for
the world that they are hel l by a
great neutral power capable of per
forming its full duty. Otherwise
they might be treated a spoil, with
the result of greatly extending C.e
zone of miltary operations.
I.ord Melbourne, nn eminent stand

ian era. used to say. when asked y
an enthusiast to take up so:.e sche?r
of reform: "('an't you let it alone?"
We do not think that the counsel im
plied in the que.-tion is universalis
applicable. Progress is usually the
result of not "lettinc thine alone."
But there Is always this alternative to
action, and it is sometimes wise to
accept it. We believe that this 1 .t
case r.-f that sort. We ran let the
, Philippines alone without injury !
them, to ourselves, or to any national
interest. There are many who wMl
think it unfortunate that there sjumiM
be any necessity of discussion even
for the purpose of proving or try
ing to the unwisdom of any action
at the present juncture. Indianapo
