Several merchants have criticized us for takIn5 the ttand wo do in regard to free fares for out of town customers within a red Iv i of forty miles statlng that they do not believe sjoh ;a method to be a legitimate business proposition, and even going so far as to say they do not believe there would bo any money in It. Tho merchants of Indianapolis have been giving free fares for about three years now, and as they are not running charity institutions, it is safe to say they are making money by tho proposition. And for further proof of the uss fullness of tho system ono has only to take the Muncle merchants who have adopted the idea in the last two years, and are using it again this year. It isn't necessary for all tha merchants in Richmond to be Interested in the scheme to mako it successful. All that is needed is a representative number of firms doing a mercantile business, such as one or two dry goods stores, a drug store, hardware store, shoe store, stationary store .furniture store, etc. With a good "clearing house" system for handling the free fares, there is no reason why a com bination of such firms should not go ahead and get a great deal of the trade which is now being attracted to Indianapolis and Muncle. This certatnly opens a very practical M ay in which to make business more brisk during tho so-called "dun" months. In fact if the scheme were carried out by the Richmond merchants "we feel sure they will find out eventually that the "dull" months of which they have complained in the past, have been duo to their failing to provide attractive enough inducements to get the out of town people to come to Richmond. NEW POSTMASTER. As stated in tho Palladium yesterday, J. A. Spekenhler has been recommended by Representative Watson for postmaster on the retirement of tho present incumbent, Daniel Surface. Congressman Watson's choice is a happy one, as Mr. Spekenhier is one of tho most popular and able young men in Richmond, and well qualified to fill the position of postmaster. He has earned much merited praise for the ability he has shown in unravllng the tangled state of affairs of the defunct Commercial Bank at Hagerstown, resulting from the peculations of the bank's ex-cashier, John Bowman. Mr. Spekenhier has always been a hard worker for the Republican party in Richmond and Wayne county, and his recommendation for offlco does not come as a surprise to his many friends, who have fe't that his faithful efforts in behalf of his party demanded some recognition. Mr. Surface, the present postmaster uion his retirement will leave a splen- ' did record. During his administration tho postofllce receipts have increased steadily, the last fiscal year showing the largest ameav.t of business ever dono by the pofctotiice in Richmond. Tho officials of the C. C. & L. should meet the citizens of Webster half way in their endeavors to arrange for a station at that place. Just because Webster did not at first realize the benefits it would derive from a railroad, is no reason it should be denied now if an agreement satisfactory to both the parties concerned can be effected.

THE HERITAGE OF THE GREEKS, The American team has been declared victor in the Olympian games which has Just been held at Athens, Greece. Out of twenty-nine events the Americans carried off twelve firsts, six seconds, and five thirds. England was second and Greece and Sweden were tied for third place. This victory places the athletes of the United States ahead of those from any other country on the globe, and comes all the more appropriately for having been won in Greece, the land in which athletics were first brought to a high state of perfection. The athletic heritage of the Greeks now rests in this country, and like the American cup, bo often and bo hotly contested for in the international yacht races will probably remain here indefinitely.

The ease with which the American team won the international contests at the Olympian games, illustrates with what rapid strides this country is pushing ahead of all foreign countries, whether in industries -and trade or In athletics. ,S ' Mayor Sehmitz's telegram of grateful appreciation to Mayor Zimmeman, should elicit a great many more contributions for the suffering victims of San Francisco. The Palladium will willing act as the medium for forwarding all new contributions. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE To the Editor of the Palladium: Some of the ministers have interested themselves unnecessarily in the welfare of us workingmen, as to how we should spend our Sundays. Would it not. be well for the clergy to remember that courtesy is a go6d thing and that we do not care how they spend their Sundays. Why should they bother about us? I presume that the ministers of Richmond get from ten to thirty dollars a Sunday for preaching and if we mechanics and dav la borers could get as much we would not want to go fishing and picnicing, but when we work six days hard, we feel the need of recreation on Sunday. If some preacher will come and take my place in the shop six days I will go to church twice on Sunday and not charge anything for it. A WORKINGMAN. DAY FOR PUZZLERS MANY FAIL ON THE RHYME Palladium's . Jumbled Line contest Still Attracting Much Attention a Some of Yesterday's Answers are Amusing, Some Few Were Correct in Every Detail. The puzzlers who are daily trying to solve the answer to the Palladium jumbled lino contest had a difficult time yesterday trying to arrange the rhyme correctly. Somo of the answers were amusing, the manner of arranging the lines being original if nothing more. Some jjot a fine start and waded through the rh.vme until near the close 'and then "fell down" and failed to get the balance of the lines correctly. Today's contest is still different. Qan you arrange, the lines so that placed one after the' other they will readintelllgently? Yesterday's lines correctly arranged are as follows:" YOU HAVE 'iTRIED IT IN PROSE, NOW . DON'T YOU SUPPOSE VOU-JMIGHT RAKE UP THE LINES IF THEY RHYME? FOR SUCCESS IS IN SIGHT, NO MATTER THE PLIGHT, IF ONE IS BUT GIVEN THE TIME. SO HERE MIXED ABOUT FOR THE READER TO ROUT, ARE THE LINES TO CORRECTLY ARRANGE; AND SHOULD FAILURE PURSUE BECAUSE OF YOUR VIEW, DON'T IMAGINE THE RESULT TO BE STRANGE. FOR SUCCESS AT THE BEST IS GAUGED BY THE ZEST THE COMPETITOR PUTS IN THE GAME, AND TO LOSE OR TO WIN BRINGS OUT YOUR BEST VIM AND THE RESULT ON YOUR MIND IS THE SAME. SO DON'T AT FRST GLANCE GO DOWK IN A TRANCE BECAUSE THESE LINES DON'T FIT TOGETHER; BUT RATHER GO SLOW AND IN THE END YOU' SHALL KNOW THERE'S NO VICTORY BENEATH THE "WHITE FEATHER." THE LINES ARE ALL HERE AND THE RHYME IS QUITE CLEAR WHEN ONCE YOU CAN LOCATE THE CUE, SO STRIVE WHILE YOU CAN, BE YOU WOMAN OR MAN FOR REMEMBER THERE'S A DOLLAR FOR YOU. Fund Turned Over.

LOS ANGELES UNSCATHED CHARLEY GATES' LETTER SAYS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA METROPOLIS IS IN THE BEST OF CONDITION CITY FILLED WITH REFUGEES. In a letter that Harry Gates has just received from his brother Charley Gates, of Los Angeles, considerable light is thrown on the situation as it now exists in the soMthern California metropolis. Mr. Gates was formerly a well known Richmond newspaper man and is now connected with the Los Angeles Herald. His letter in part says: "The old town of Los Angeles has not gone up or down from the earthquake shocks but is simply digging away to do its part in relieving the distress at 'Frisco. Los Angeles is taking care of all the refugees who come and I can assure you that it requires lots of money and provisions to accomplish the task. Jim Jefferies, the champion pugilist, and others of the fraternity were out yesterday selling oranges for the benefit of the j fruit brought as high as $20 each. The Southern' Pacific has been bringing refugees intp Los Angeles by the trainload, carrying everybody without cost. Los Angeles will profit to a considerable extent for thousands of these refugees, vrtll remain here, and a majority of them are good citizens. Los Angeles has no fear from earthquake disturbances. - The city is built on different ground than that upon which San Francisco was built. Many people suppose that Los Angeles in times gone by has suffered from earthquakes, but this idea is wholly erroneous. SlighL trembles have been felt but absolutely no damage done." MR.

Brosseau, for thirty-five years custodiaa and a trusted employe of the concern, was arrested this afternoon and held in $3,000 bail, for examination on Friday. For three hours this afternoon Brosseau was closeted with Inspector McLaughlin, head of the deteceive bureau, and Superintendant Ralph M. Hyde, of the firm, and closely questioned. During the session, he admitted, it is alleged, that he had inflated the pay roll under pressure of heavy family expenses. lie lived extravagantly, he said, and had not the salary necessary to maintain his family. His salary was about $3,500 a year. Was Dischzrged Recently. Brosseau is 59 years old and his arrest came as the result of suspicions aroused some months ago. Ten days ago he was discharged and detectives set to watch him. fMeanwhile experts were put on his books and they found instances where employes were credited with salaries on the pay roll, of which they received but half. Brosseau drew the pay roll from the company and paid the salaries of all the employes. Started as a Boy.
