TWO CENTS AT ALL PLACES OF 8ALE. MONDAY, rAPRIL 16, 1906. There are few people in this city who realize the significance of the meetings that were held at Earlham College Friday and Saturday of last week. A few cranks talking about Idealistic peace and arbitration, has been the comment heard in several quarters. But those who voiced such sentiments knew not of what they spoke. Last week witnessed the permanent organization at Earlham College of nn association of colleges in this State and Ohio, which has for its purpose the creation of a spirit of pence In college men who will later in life help to frame the policies of this nation. It is not the purpose of the new association to teach the principle of cowardice. The timely comparison mado by Prof. Russet in his address Saturday, Illustrates what the new organization hopes to do. He showed the difference between the mule and the high bred horse. The mule when struck by the whip moves not because it has no spirit,' while the spirited animal, although feeling the cutting blow of its master,' is easily restrained because it has been disciplined. The horse, like man, as the peace advocates would have him, stands not because he has not the spirit to move, .but rather because he has been trainthat It Is best for him not to move. An Investigation shows, that It was the small policy holders who suffered the most from the excitement and agitation regarding the big life injsurance companies. In the Equitable company alone nearly thirty thousand 'persons holding policies for $1,000 ,and less allowed their policies to j lapse, thinking that it would be usejless for them to keep paying money jinto a company, which had been conducted on the most unbusiness like lines. The stories of how many laboring men, who had been laying aside a small amount each year to protect their families in case of their death, ceased their payments and thus lost .all they had Invested, is pathetic to the extreme. As In all great panics of Buch kind, it Is the small investor that suffers the most. With limited business knowledge and -unchecked fear, developed from a misunderstanding of the true condition of affairs, the small "fry" loses "his all." An appeal has been sent out from New York City for help for the sufferers about Mount Vesuvius. No doubt many Richmond people will contribute to the fund .now being raised in this country. The conditions about Mt. Vesuvius have not been over painted by the newspapers. They are now as bad, if not worse. than history shows thom to have been on reveral occasions before. In this country where there are few disturbances of such kind, one can hardly realize the. consequences of 8'ich an eruption. All that one can do Is to take the newspaper correrortdents' word for the terrible conditions about Naples and with the spirit that has always characterized American on such occasions contribute liberally to those who are suffering. Happy Is the man that does not have to move. The village belle shown not yester day.

' Once more baseball Is here. In every city and hamlet in the land eager "fans" can hardjy wait for the results of the day's games. On every vacant lot in the United States future baseball stars are quarreling over the weighty decisions of a young umpire. With increasing popularity the National game begins another season and. there is every reason to believe that this year will eclipse all others.

Palladium Special. Greenfield, Ind., April 15. This city has the distinction of having 'the only postmaster in the Sixth district to refuse a second terra. Newton R. Spencer, whose term will expire in June, has notified Congressman Watson that he will not ask for a second term notwithstanding the fact that he would have had no opposition. Mr. Spencer bases his action on the theory that the office is a political job, given to him in recognition of party cervices. He believes that in a Democratic stronghold like Hancock county, where Republicans are compelled to work harder than their fellows in adjoining Republican counties, and where Rej-ablicans have not elected a county officer, except once in nearly half a century, the only office they do have should be passed around. The Greenfield postofflce pays $2,800 a year. Walter G. Bridges, the present deputy and chairman of the Republican county committee, will be recommended without opposition to succeed Mr. Spencer.

j People of Note UCII Importance Is attached to the announcement of the Right Hon. Richard Burton Haldone, war secretary, in introducing the army estimates in the British house of commons, that the military expenses of the empire are to be cut down. The esti RICHARD B. HALDA?! I. mates amount to nearly $150,000,000, and the war secretary stated that the government now accepts what be denominated "the bine water principle" namely, that the navy at its present strength Is capable of defending England from Invasion. In accordance with this principle many fortifications along the English coast will be abandoned and some of the colonial garrisons will be reduced. Secretary Haldane expressed the hope that other nations of Europe would fake steps to reduce the armaments, which constitute such a heavy burden upon the people. The British war secretary under the new Liberal government was born In 1856 and educated at Edinburgh academy and Edinburgh and Gottlnsen universities. He has represented Haddingtonshire In parliament since 1S85, has been a university lecturer and is the author of works on educational, philosophical and economic subjects. Judge Stewart of Oklahoma, who will probably be one of the senators from the new state, came from Texas originally and was a law partner of Senator Bailey. "We hear a lot of advice to young men nowadays," said the Judge, "but I think that the best precepts for any young man were those of a father in my part of the country who told his son that the three things he needed to observe to get along in this world were embraced in these words of advice: 'Ride bard, shoot straight and tell the truth.' " Brander Matthews since he has become prominent as a spelling reformer has discovered that he has many followers among the students of Columbia university, where he is professor of dramatic literature. Professor Matthews recently explained to one of his classes the plans of the simplified spelling board, of which he Is a member, and told how Andrew Carnegie had made provision for the expense of the work the board proposes to carry on. It was BRANDER MATTHEWS. not long after this that the students formed a spelling reform association and elected 'Trofesor Brander Mathuz" president. .

It was the Truesdale committee which instituted the house cleaning that was undertaken in the Mutual Life in consequence of the revelations of the Armstrong committee. This led to the retirement of the McCurdys. Some WILLIAM H. TRUESDALE. have claimed, however, that the house cleaning done by the committee wai not thorough enough. President Truesdale was born in Tounsstown, O.. In 1851 and has worked his way up In the world. He began hi railroad career In an auditor's offloe in Indiana on a salary of $5 a week.
