Any man that moves from one precinct to another loses his vote. Rember this. o Don't forget the Hanly meeting on f:.i- 10th. The Coliseum will be small en that occasion.

The World's Fair letters by Miss E-izabeth Homey published in the

Palladium, are very interesting. They

sir worthy of careful reading be

cause they are original.

Have vou been noticing the morn

ing Palladium? It contains a large

nmoiinf of useful information. The

advertisers aie liberal and their ads

are worth the while to read. Mer chants know a good advertising me ilium. .. o .

Where now would be our finances, , our revenues, our domestic industries

and our foreign trade if the Demo

' r.r:in.- nmtv had succeeded in 1896

or in 11)00? Where will they all be four years hence if a Democratic president and congress should be elected next November? . o . ' liural routers say it is just like living in town, only a little better, to receive a paper, printed in the morn

ing, before dinner. Quite a lot of

persons living on. rural routes get the paper before nine a. m. The other city pajiers, printed the afternoon before, filled with news, printed the day before in the Palladium, reaches them at the same time. A morning paper is a luxury. ;, o Mr. D. Lange has just published a book under the auspices of the Indiana Audubon Society entitled, "How to know One Hundred Wild Birds in Indiana." The book is gotten up in good readable shape and is neat. Persons who have had no previous knowledge of birds will soon be able to -know all about them by the perusal of this work. The book was gotten out by the Educational Publishing company, and sells for 25 cents. o . A ladv called at the Palladium yesterday and said: "I look the Palladium for a number of years until a few months ago, when I subscribed for one of the other popers in oider to get a premium. I have been sorry ever since I did it. The Palladium has been in our family for over fifty years. Please begin sending it asmm." This is only. one out of hundreds. Our circulation is good and is getting better. The Palladium will soon be where it rightfully belongs a eader in circulation. T . O "": Protection has done more for the American workingman and farmer thaji any other policy carried put by Republicans. If 'protection is robbery," as the Democartic platform asserts, the only persons ''robbed" are the manufacturers and toilers of Europe. American workingmen certainly do not suffer from protection. They are the chie'flbene&ciariesjof the greatest of ' TVepnblicari policies. Without a protective tariff wages soon drop to the 'European level,

which is .from CO to 100 per sect, be

Democracy 's effort to show that

times have not been good under Roos

evelt's administration is a ludicrous

performance. The compilation of all the strikes which have taken place in the last three years, instead of. showing lack of prosperity, indicates the country has been unusually prosperous. Strikes are a rarity in bad times. Workingmen demand higher wages only when business is good. They are astute enough to know that they stand a better chance of getting what they want when factories are flooded with orders than Avhen they are running on short time.

The international peace congress has resolved to appeal to the emperors of Russia and Japan "to put an end to the awful slaughter of their subjects," and to appeal to the signatory powers of The Hague convention, other than the two belligerents, to press upon them the importance of ending a war which afflicts humanity and hinders commerce. The members of the congress are as much in earnest as were the Quakers of .an earlier day, who, on different occasions, told monarches of the wickedness of war and urged them to sheate their swords. The Quakers were generally listened to courteously, but they accomplished nothing It is doubtful whether the members of the peace congress really believe that either of their appeals will be successful. ' Undoubtedly the real reason why Parker has resolved to keep off the stump is his discovery that his speeches would be more" apt to harm than to help him. He is even more of a failure as a talker than he is as a writer. His speech of acceptance at Esopus was vague and dull to the last degree. His style of discourse lacks the sparkle,the concentration, the life

that moves audiences. The things that he would say could be said just as effectively by the average man on the street. If he were not a candidate, no national committee would think of employing him as a spellbinder. No audience would listen to him. Probably he does not look for any such triumphs as McKinley 's home speeches Avon, for McKinley was a good talker, and he had something to say that the public wanted to hear. But McKinley would have

been elected just the same if he had

made a speechmaking tour. He stood

for a cause that appealed to a large

majority of his countrymen and for

a party which had then and has now

the confidence of the great mass of

Americans. Tn each of these vital particulars Parker's side is fatally defective in 1904, as, it was in 1900

and in 1S9G. In refusing to take the stump Parker follows the example of Olney, Carlisle, Harmon, Cleveland and all the rest of the Democratic leaders of influence.

Rlnos in the Eloauent Sentences ot

Senator Beveridge.

The Augusta (Me.) Journal draws?

a wholesome comparison between the speeches of Senator Beveridge and

Bourke Cockran, each of whom parti cipated in the Maine campaign:

How different the feelings of a man

leaving city hall last night on hearing Bourke Cockran from those he entertained after hearing the speech" of

Senator Beveridge last week. Last night the whole tendency of the

speech was to fill one with gloom and

grief; to make him ashamed of the past of his country and full of fore

boding for its future; to make him

believe that our form of government

Is a failure and all men thieves and

rascals. After hearing the speech of

Senator Beveridge a man could not help feeling proud that he was an American citizen. He came away

from the hall glorying in the past

achievements of his country, happy in its progress and its prosperity, and full of faith and confidence in its great future. It was the speech of the

robust Americanism which faces ev

ery duty without flinching and which

makes our flag something to be loved

at home and respected abroad It was

the voice of Rooseveltism which typi

fies the growth, the vigor and the promise of a great country and a

great era.

We prefer the optimism of Bever

idge to the pessimism of Cockran;

the positive principles of Republican

ism to the negative fault-finding of

Democracy; the pledge for the future as given by the record of the party in power to the faltering promises of a

party whose strongest plea for votes

is that it is recovering from insanity;

the good times of Republican rule to

the depression and panic which Mr,

Cockran frankly admits would follow

a Democratic victory.

THE DEBT-PAYING RECORD

"Fair-Minded" Candidate Krn Admits

Things That Are Not So.

In commending the keynote speech

of Candidate Kern at Anderson the

Indianapolis News says: "In his dis

cussion of state issues Mr. Kern was

entirely fair. He showed that no one party was entitled to all the credit for

the good things that have been done, which is true, and pointed out that the

present tax law, and the existing sink

ing fund for both of which the Demo

cratic party is entitled to the credit

have made it possible for the state

to largely reduce its debt. The money in the sinking fund could have been honestly used for no other purpose

than debt-paying." .

In its inferential statement that the reductions of the state debt have been made solely from the state debt sinking fund the News simply repeats, a

silly fabrication, easily controverted by reference to the official record. Of the total .reduction of the state debt since 1895 nearly two 'million1 dollars have been applied from sources other than the : state debt

sinking fund. It may be said, moreover, in this connection, that while the law has provided for the appli

cation of the revenue derived from this fund, there has been nothing in law to prevent the building up of the debt at one end while tearing it down' at the other.

While the News is apologizing for

the Democratic record in the matter of the state debt and trying to palm it off on the people as "something just as good.", it might give what no Dem

ocratic editor has yet offered an excuse for the failure to make the tax levy from 1883 to 1891 commensurate with the current expenditures. The failure to do so has cost- the state of Indiana a million and a half dollars in interest beside a practical doubling of the debt during the period mentioned, and now that the News has come forward as the champion of that! sort of financiering it ought to be able to produce a reason for its position other than the habitual desire to work both sides of the political street. It is to be hoped that in "showing" the record, it will intersperse glittering generalities with a few facts, which even "fair-minded" orators and editors ought to consider in determining whether or not one party or another, one leadership or another, has or has not made a good record In the management of state affairs. ,

m

The Savings Bank Test. In 1896, when McKinley was first elected, there were 988 savings banks; now there are 1.078, an increase of 10 per cent. In 189G the number of depositors in savings banks was 5,065,494 and the total deposits $1,907,000,000; in 1903 the number of depositors had increased to 7,305,288, and the deposits to $2,935,000,000, an increase in round numbers of $1,028,000,000. As deposits in savings banks are mainly by wage earners and persons of moderate means the great increase in the number of depositors and the aggregate deposits indicates general prosperitythe result of Republican policies and administration.

How could Parker's election help the present situation? What admitted results would follow the victory of the opposition? First, a tariff agitation which could not result in legislation, fol lh TN$lU.l,xx? tht the Republican senate would prevent any tariff revision' which an opposition house would pass, but that the opposition for four years would batter the senate's doors with tariff revision bills. What would come of that? It certain result would be uncertainty. From Senator Beveridge't keynote; patch. . !,'
