Valparaiso lost a good citizens In the (loath of Ethelbert Zimmerman, editor an.l publisher of the "lltsscns'T." Tho newspaper fraternity also lost ono of ltd best exponents. Zimmoriiia'i, as his friends generally called him, may not have left a largo fortune. Great wealth U not accumulated In the field wherein he spent an Industrious life, but he loft what is better than riches, a good name and a lasting- influence. He was unselfish in his devotion to a higher and nobler plane of life. Ho was generally found on the side of right and justice. He used his means and time and talents that the community in whiv.li ho lived would be better, more unselfish, more prosperous. Now that he la gone his merits wil become more and more apparent. And the acknowledgement of Ins virtues often withheld will be generally accepted. He was a credit to the newspaper craft. He will be missed in even larger circles than he had reason to believe. It is at best a poor fashion that Nvithholds the acknowledgement of worth until a good life is ended, for now: "Can Honor's voice provoke the silent dust Or Flattery soothe the dull, cold ear of death?"

WITH THE EDITORS THE FAIRBANKS CAMPAIGN. The decision of the republican managers In Indiana to hold their conventions early in February ami inBtruct the delegates to thu national convention to support Vice President Fairbanks is likely to bring Mr. Fairbanks formally into the field ahead of any other candidate. Mr. Fairbanks campaign will not begin with this action, however, for it has been in prog:ess at the least from the day he took the nomination for tho office ho has. Of the plan of that campaign the public has heard little. Mr. Fairbanks does not open his heart and ml ml to all. An idea of his political methods may ho obtained from the "Llfj and Speeches of Charles Warren Fairbanks" (Indianapolis. Rm)4. by William Henry Smith, author of a "History of Indian;!." Mr. Fmlth tells of Fr. Fairbank's de. ision In !?'S to support Walter O. Ore? ham for the nomination for president acair.n Ren.hur.ia Harrison.

but never divulged his plans. He was always ready to make combinations, but would not make any to which ri bargain was attached. lie carefully avoided doing or saying anything tha"t might by any possibility be distorted into a promise to bind his chief. He had a corps of effective lieutenants and to them divulged just enough of his plans to rut them to intelligent and tamest work. He kept them busy, and when the convention opened It looked as if he would be able to nominate his candidate on ono of tho early ballots." Judge Gresham did not get the nomination, and Mr. Fairbanks at once offered his services to General Harrison. Mr. Smith Fays that 'there were those who advocated ignoring Mr. Fairbanks, but General Harrison put a q.uletu.3 on it by saying that a man who had shown the political skill and foreefulness of Mr. Fairbanks could not bo ignored with impunitv." la this campaign Mr. Fairbanks -tried so far as his voice and example could go, t lift party politics from tho low marsh of detraction and corruption to the high plane of reas n and argument."

HEW YORK PASTOR FOKPMT Demands $7,000 on Fain of Resignation if It is Not Forthcoming. AND HE GETS AWAY WITH IT jJclin D. Rockefeller listens to Ar raignment in Which Fleck is Called Stingy. New York, Iiec. 22. The Rev. Charles : i . Ako.i, pastor of the Fifth Avenue morning told his Haptist church, this congregation that unless a $7,0o0, contracted before lie pastor, was ! i. jiih'.i C ed at t of was made once he would resitu his pastorate. Then the ehnir sang. The baskets Were passed. Their contents were counted. And the J7.000 V;;s produced. dohn 1. Rockefeller, Mrs. John D. Rockefeller, John D. Rockefeller jr. and Mrs. John 1 . Rockefeller jr. were in their pews, and the end of the service was in sight when Dr. Ake 1 thanked the congregation for the consideration shown himself and his family dining his connection with the church. ' Says Citfth Ulitfct Ilf l'ut l"p. He said: -While I acknowledge your generosity, I ask you to complete It this morning by retiring me from a position I find distasteful. You know every year there has been a deficit In the current account of the church. I want $7,000 from you before you leave this church this morning. "This is an inheritance from the past. I had nothing to do with this debt. It has been the custom for the last forty years to settle the deficit of the current account at the end of each year. I don't like this system. I would not contemplate a permanent ministry in this church were the financial system now in force to be continued. Hioh I'nrlanoners n Irnv luick. "We labor under the disadvantage of our advantages. We have the advantage of having persons associated with this church who have large amounts of money, and others who say 'Go to them for money, as it is too much of an effort for us who haven't so much money. "It is not fair; it is a mean spirit. It has raised up a crowd of stingy souls who won't support the church. "it Isn't fair to me. You have no right to put a man in charge of this church when you won't support him. It isn't fair to the church. I am tired of hearing this church called Mr. Smith's, Mr. Brown's or Mr. Robinson's church. I want that $7,000 now, and the finances must be reorganized so that nothing of this kind ever can happen again." LIQUOR FIGHJ Hi ILL. Anti's Prepare to Submit License Question to Next Legislature. Springfield, 111., Dec. 23. Voters in at least eighty Illinois counties will express their sentiments on the saloon rpaestion under the provisions of the local option law at the election on April 7, UK'S. Reports received at the headquarters of the Illinois Anti-Suhion league in tills city indicate that in nearly every county in the state, except the.se which are already anti-saloon territory, a vote will be taken on the question of lid'ior. There reports show that most of the work dona thus far by representatives of the league has been confined to the country precincts and smaller villages and towns. The matter of submitting the antisaloon proposition in the larger cities has not been decided and will not be foi at least a fortnight. ; Ronmlnp cf Stute Begins. Ernest A. Serogln, superintendent of the Springfield district, attorney fur the state league, and the one to whom most credit is due for the passage of the local option bill in I'inois, will tour the state within two weeks and visit headquarters c f tho anti-saloon league in the different districts. The object tf the trip is to ascertain what work representatives of the league have accomplished and how much remains to be done before the spring election. Mr. Scrogin's "roundup" will also have an effect in determining whether "tire battle of the bottle" will be waged in the larger cities of the state. At present Gaiesburg is the largest city in Illinois that is certain to vote on the saloon e;uest!or. under the provisions of the local option law next r r i ti tr. Some work towards submitting the anti -saloon proposition has been done in Decatur, laoomington. Quincy, and Danville, but whether the matter will come to a test is as yet undecided. It la more than probable that saloons will i e made the issue in the first three cities, if present plans materialize. Leave Big Clt!e for Last. The situation in Springfield is perh.rps typical of nil the larger cities of the state in regard to anti-saloon agitrtion. As yet no effort has been made to bring the fight into the city's limits. Tn all the smaller towns in the country, and in all the country precincts, the anti-saloon proposition will be submitted at the election on April 7. FuruUbed Roozzxa for Rent on Faze 7.

HIRD TERM TALK

WILL NOT DOWN Thomas W. Lawson Visits President and has Long Conference. i GAIViPAlGN TO START TUESDAY Teddy for First Place and Johnson for Second h 'Jae Dcpe. New York, Pee. 23. When Thomas W. Lawson left the White House l tt j Tuesday morning, after a long, secret conference with President Roosevelt, j he refus.-d to discuss Ids visit. but ; promise, i -;l statement to the nubile within a few days." Thi was outlined by Mr. Lawson last night. Mr. Lawson therein announces the thai party, .lent and vi launehing of new poiiIts candidates for prosipresident will ,.. Theodore Roosevelt and Guve nor John A. Johnson of Minnesota. Today in Huston Mr. Lawson's lawyers will go to work on the plan to be followed in the legal organization of the new party. I'lan Dritignril ! I.nwvnn. On Tuesday, according to Mr. Lawson's emphatic assurances, the campaign designed to give President Roosevelt four years nure in office will begin and will continue until the close of the polls in every state on election day, li'OS. In his formal announcement Mr. Lawson avoids any direct statement that his chosen candidates President Roosevelt and Governor Johnson have acquiesced in his political program, but by suggestion it was made clear that at the White House conference on Tuesday morning the Lawson political plan was placed before the president. "It matters not a whit to me," said Mr. Lawson, "whether President Roosevelt approves of the new party or not, whether he consents to run as its presidental candidate or openly refuses to do so. "He will be our candidate just tho same, and by tho vote of the people will be compelled to complete the job he has commenced the rescue of the country from the wholesale thieves of Wall street." Tells of Organization. Mr. Lawson claims to have an organization in every state of the Union. In his formal statement, which will be otncially promulgated today, Mr. Lawson says in part: "Since the panic President Roosevelt has awakened to a realization that if he leaves his policies half way established he will, as he should, go Into history as an unworthy bungler. "With class arraigned against class, with the whole people awakened to their wrongs yet unable to right them, with the whole people realizing that they are to be swept again into the unmerciful mnw of the system, the whole people well realize that they had best been allowed to wallow- in their former degradation. "President Roosevelt now realizes that if at the coming elections the system's tools are placeel in the White House the people, when they realize it. will do something, and President Roosevelt realizes that that something will be something momentous. "I personally know tho system will bo so satisfied with the nomination made by either party that It will willingly finance either or both parties through the campaign to any extent necessary, regardless of who the candidates may be provided Theodore Roosevelt is not one ef them. "I personally know the system will furnish willingly nil money and other backing to elect W. J. Hrynn or his opponent, and the money thus willingly, eagerly, furnished will be the money of the same men who furnished $5,000,000 in 1SK6 to steal the presidency from Mr. Eryan. "In closing this appeal to all Godfearing, country-loving Americans, I would say: "It should matter nothing to the American people what attitude President Roosevelt takes toward our work. His personal likes and dislikes, wishes, or intentions should not weigh a finch's feather with us. MAY GLOSE SALOONS Chicago, Dec. 23. A new and striking angle of the Sunday closing fight came yesterday when a number of the business agents of the Associated Building Trades met and called a second inciting for the night of Jan. 31 for the purpose of insisting upon the closing of all saloons, theaters, and piae.-s of business on Sunday. The meeting Is to be held at 13) La Salle street, and the business acrents present at yesterday's meeting outlined its purpose by declaring war upon all Sunday work. The addition to the Sunday closing tight is not based upon any moral pedestal. It Is purely economic in its stand. "We stand for the eight hour day an.l the forty-eight hour week." said Th-mas Kearney, business agent of t lie plumbers union, "and why not for the closed Sunday? If the laborers of the city were permitted to rest on Sunday their worth to their employers would ( enhanced for the remainder of the week. Would Be Labor's Cain. "It is not so much a question of the saloons as it is a question of refrainI in? from work on Sunday. As long as j saloons keep open other lines of busir.ffs will operate on Sunday. Labor gains nothing by the work done, and. now tnat business in many lines Is slack, it is no more than right that Sunday should be the day upon which work should cease."

SHOPPING US CURE Jl INSANITY New Remedy For Mentally Unbalanced, Put Into Operation in St. Louis.

MAD BUSH PrJES SOOTHING Salesmen Fail to Note Difference between Lunatics and Other Christmas Purchasers. St. Louis. Mo., Dec. 23. Officials of the St. Emis insane asp,im are experimenting with a "shopping" treatment to effect the cures of women suT rintr from the milder forms ir.s mity. Sixty women patients of this type are now- making practical tests of this novel course In tho big department st .res. one party of twenty of the affected of the atlliotcd women will spend tb.e greater part of tomorrow in the big stores enjoying the outing, purchasing i em tiibrances for their friends and forgetting for the time the discipline of the- nsyhen. A like number will visit tho stores Tuesday. All who are to be permitted this recreation are x pettantThese journeys hack into the world of the department stores and the activities which all women enjoy, began last Thursday. Two attendants were in charge of thrt s! lop rs. and t in-1 r uniforms were left behind and they abandoned as far as possible ail tokens of authority, mingling in the crowds down town. In the stores the patients and attendants w.-re not distinguished from thousands of other women bent on the same mission. The patients sought the usual haunts of bargain hunters and purchased with a keen regard to appearance and value just as their normal sisters were doing all about them. Apparently the saleswomen noted nothing unusual in the demeanor of these customers. Several of the patients were impressed by the novelty e.f a moving stairway in one store. Some, timid at first, became frequent passengers and left the store grudgingly. The joke of leaving orders with the numerous Santa Clausen they encountered in their journey through the various shops gave the women pleasure. Only one of the party, a girl of 15. was orthodox on the subject of Santa's reality and benevolence. She gave the list of her hopes for Christwas with all the earnestness and faith of a child half her age. Laughing, chatting, haggling with the snleswomen. the women spent their time and money all too soon. They were loth to return when darkness came. TO SPLITJHE FLEET Report Current That Number of Battleships Will Stay in Pacific. Washington, D. C, Dec. 22. Several of the battleships of Admiral Evans' fleet are to remain in Pacific waters to strengthen the squadron in the western ocean, it is said in naval circles. "The program for tho return of th battleship fleet is a matter that has been discussed among the officials of the navy department, but as yet no decision has bpon reached, and will not be for some time to come," paid Secretary of the Navy Metealf today. The secretary's remark was called out by a wireless message from the flagship Connecticut that Admiral Evans had authorized the press to say it is his personal belief that the navy department's present intention is to have the battleship tleet return by way of the Suez canal next summer or fall. As the president, through Secretary Loob, previously had spoken to the same effect, it seems clear that Admiral Evans' statement was not suggested by any definite move so far determined upon by those in supreme authority. In naval circles the opinion prevails that at most only a squadron composed of such vessels as the voyage to the Pacific shall have demonstrated to be "the pick of the fle-et" will be sent home through the Suez canal, while others that are to come home will take the shorter route around Cue horn. Hrazll IMntm Itoy iil YV rlcomc. Rio de Jan rio, Dec. 22. Th" American battleship tleet will be welcomed as though tho visit were expressly made to Brazil.

It was denied by Secretary Taft that Vorys would be supplanted as his political manager, and lie said he is satisfied with the work of his manager.
