SUBSCRIPTION ONE YEAR . . $l.OO | SIX MONTHS. . . $.50 INDIANA, PA., SATURDAY, .JUI.V 17, 1915 Editorial What the leading Papers Think of Germany's Answer THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE, editorially says in part: "We have come, then, to the crisis. There is left only the possibility that what Germany has threatened she will not do. We can, and the Tribune believes we should, recall Ambassador Gerard, since further negotiations seem impossible. * * the honor of the nation is in his (Pres. Wilson's) keeping and the making of the future will be shaped by his decisions. Since Abraham Lincoln no man has borne graver re sponsibility, but this time he is sure of the support of a united country, a nation and a people. But while waiting patiently and confidently uf>on his decision, let us not blind ourselves to the issue nor shrink from the eventualities." TIIE NEW YORK WORLD says: • •We do not hold our sea rights subject to anybody's j supervison. We are not likely to surrender any of those rights to a nation that does not have a single dreadnought or cruiser on the ocean and whose boast ed sea power is now exerted only by the methods of the footpad and the blackhander." THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE declares the answer impossible of ac ceptance. It says: "And what is the answer? It A Billy Sunday Sermon ette on Motorcycles HY JESSE EDWARDS f WHEELS, Wheels, Wheels. The Old, Old World is all on Wheels. Mankind is conceived, born and brought up on wheels. He will nev er be satisfied until walking is elimi nated. From the castors of the bed, he makes one continuous procession | via. the baby buggy, perambulator, , tricycle, roller skates, bicycle, mo-1 torcycle, automobile, and even gets a rolling start when he attempts to fly to Heaven and is rolled to his final resting place on a rubber-tired coflin truck. A modern Shakespeare might say: j "All the world is one big skating rink wherein each wheel in its time plays an important part." And no wonder it is that human nature is endowed with the love of rolling on wheels for the Old Earth itself is nothing more than one big pneumatic tire on which we are roll ing through space at an inconceiv able rate of speed. The motorcycle comes in just at that time in the boy's life when lie straightens himself up. throw - back his shoulders and says: "Now I am getting to be a man— it's time to put away childish things. At a time when his conception of things is enlarging—at a time when Nature calls lain to bigger and broad er things—at a time when the great panorama of the country is inviting him out to view, study and enjoy the beauties of Nature. The motorcycle fits in between the last muscle-propelled vehicle of the youth and the four-wheeled family vehicle of the sober aud staid old man. It comes at a time when his veins are full of red blood and Nature calls for adventure and for thrills. It comes when the effervescence of youth yearns for a hobby. Every real, fully developed man must have some hobby to take up his surplus energy and maintain his perfect equilibrium. Shall we deny this *o the boy? Parents too often make the mis take of trying to tie the boy to "Ma mma's apron string."' His surplus energy must find vent somewhere. The desire for the thrills of the motorcycle comes at a time when the glare of the lights of i the pool room and the line of the ; saloon and the gambling house make | their strongest appeal to youth. Which road are we going to advise him to take? Motorcycling is a rugged but not a rough sport The athletic side of it —the out-of door side of it—the health and strength side of it—as ° well as the character building side of j it—should appeal to every one who | : has in his hands the moulding of the . manhood of a youth. The dust of the country road, the smell of gasoline and the smear of cylinder oil are the world's greatest antidotes for the "Great White Plague." 11 The motorcycle takes him away from the germ-laden atmosphere of the city into the pure ozone of the field and forest. It takes him away from the wicked influences of the degenerate and dis solute brutes of the city and intro duces him to the honest and virtuous i dumb brutes of the farm. I It takes him away from cafes, girls and tutti-fruitti parlors and gives him an appetite for solid, wholesome food and sleep. It builds up the tissues of his body broadens his mind and keeps his morals clean. A Chicago judge recently made the statement from the bench that of all the motorcycle riders ever brought into the Speeders' Court, not one had ' j ever been charged with di unkenness. I is that Germany is willing to order her submarine commanders to refrain from murder oil the high seas, conditionally. It is in effect that there will be safety J § for American lives only if we comply with rules and regulations drawn up at Berlin. For failure to com ply. death. Even these privileges are offered us a special favor to this country. It is not for the Im perial Government to 'protect' the people of the Unit ed States as a reward for obediance to orders."' And from THE NEW YORK EVENING POST we read: "One cool assumption runs through the German note. It is that Germany is in a position graciously to -permit' Americans to do certain things on the high seas and to forbid- them to do others. This is open to the sharpest challenge. Our Government stands for cer tain principles of law and national right and universal humanity, which it cannot consent to allow another Government to treat like a nose of wax." o Bryan and the American Press MR. WILLIAM "JIXG-JING" BRYAN, erstwhile Sec retary of State, and a Mr. Theodore Roosevelt, ano ther private citizen, sometime President of this Re public, seem to be running neck and neck for position in the spotlight and first page space, with the differ ence slightly in favor of the former. After Bryan's spectacular and untimely resigna tion from the Premiership, his vol loping for peace at any price, and his carrying milk and honey to the German-American vote, he no has another brainstorm and wants tell the free press how it should carry on its editorial affairs. In a speech at the Panama Fair at Frisco last week he wanted a law passed to compel editors to show their financial interest in policies tliey advocate. Fine! Most of those "interests'' are rent. t shoes for friend wife and tobacco, lunch money and car fare for the writers. It is said he actually put peace and politics aside and appeared as a journalist. Mr. Bryan further advised signed stories and editor ials in newspapers. He commended the influence of of the "one man edited weekly" as being greater than that of the corporation-owned daily newspaper, and expressed disapproval of "independent" publications. Yes, he's and editor, of the Commoner—garden var-' iety. Don't be afraid of making your boys too rough; be rather afraid of making him too soft. One rugged boy is worth a dozen soft ones. The world likes a diamond in the rough Society raves over the rugged man with a brilliant mind. Fill up the gap between the bicy cle and the automobile by buying the boy a motorcycle and he may be able to buy himself an auto later on. Otherwise you may have to buy him an invalid's chair. Nature makes no mistakes. The boy calls for just what his boy nature needs. , Deny the boy and you dwarf the man.

The first Pullman sleeping car, con structed in ISG4 in the shops of the Alton and Chicago and called the Pio neer, served as the funeral coach for President Lincoln. Its cost was $lB,- 000, which was regarded in those days as most extravagant, and as it was higher and wider than the ordinary cars and the clearances of station plat forms and bridges when it was decid ed that it should be the funeral coach of the president many changes were involved. Gangs of men were set work ing night and day to cut wider clear ances all the way from Washington (byway of New York and Albany) to Springfield, 111.—Brooklyn Eagle.
