President' Roosevelt's business like method of. dealing with tbfe criminal trusts must eUclt admiration even from his enemies. Last week he sent a message accompanied by a report of Commissioners Garfield, dealing with the operations of the Standard OH trust and the Sugar trust, and which it is- stated will have a great effect in pushing through the rate bill. Today the president will send another of Commissioner Garfield's reports to our legislators containing further Information, which if acted upon may have serious consequences to the officers of the Standard Oil trust. In the first report this trust was convicted of demanding and receiving rebates, which is punishable by a fine under the Elklns act The second will charge that the Standard Oil comDanv has been euilty of conspiracy in restraint of trade and commerce, an offense which carries the penalty of dissolution and fine and Imprisonment In other words John D. Rockefeller who Is president of the trust, and his associates in office, Henry Rogers and William Rockefeller, may yet feel the weight of tho law of this land, which they have defied and damned for so long a time. For years when the people have protested against the Impositions heaped upon them by this monstrous trust, these officers have thrust their hands in their pockets and said, " What are you going to do about It"? And they could afford to take such a stand as they practically owned the legislative - branch of the government, and over awed the executive. But those days have changed. The man who la now president is a true and faithful representative of the people who elected him, and his utmost endeavors are expended in forcing the corrupt corporations, who so long have been the real rulers ot this country, to obey the laws which have been formulated for fhem as wll as the common people.' If Mr. Rockefeller and his associates are made to suffer the penalty for the wrongs, they have committed," they "'will receive scant sympathy from the people they have trampled so heartlessly under foot. THE0. THOMAS ORCHESTRA Greatest of All Musical Libraries in . the World Is Owned by Organization. The Theodore Thomas orchestra ha the greatest library of music of any orchestra in the world and con sequently a larger repretolre. There Is absolutely-nothing of note that thin orchestra has not played and roatiy compositions has been given its' premiere In Chicago. Last summer Mr. Stock, the present director, and Mr. Wessels, the manager, spent months in Europe and nothing that was worthy of being brought to American ears was left behind when they returned. An Incident that 6hows the alert and progressive spirit of the organisation was told recently. A noted German musician sent manuscript; parts or an unpublished composition to the orchestra, saying that it would be a pleasure to him to have the work played In this country. After examining it the word was sent back that the composition would be given again but that the orchestra had already played it two years before from manuscript pack secured In Europe at that time. The Theodore Thomas orchestra is to be the great central feature of the Richmond May Festival, May 28 and 29. . .

JUDGE STUBBS

Palladium Special. Indianapolis, May 7. Judge Stubbs, of the Indianapolis Juvenile court, made an address last night on "The Clgarette."ln part he said: "The cigarette is by far the most potent of causes that have brought about such a great increase in the number of offenses against' the law by boys within the last few years. "I have had before me more than six hundred boys who are users of cigarettes, most of whom have become cigarette fiends. I have found, also, that in nearly every case where the offense was of a grevious. criminal nature the defendant was a user of cigarettes. I have taken the opinion of physicians and have examined into the subject myself until I have become convinced that the Insidious poison of the cigarette is at the bottom of much of the trouble. "Did any of you ever an habitual drunkard at a time when he was Just just getting over a drunken debauch and when he had been deprived of liquor for twenty-four hours? If so you have witnessed the limbs shaking as with palsy and his frenzied appetite driving him to the verge of delirium. I have seen boys under 16 years of age in nearly as bad condition when deprived of cigarettes for a day and night. Is it any wonder that the boy with all his horrible craving for cigarettes, commits theft in order to supply himself with that which will quiet his nerves and soothe him for the time being? "In the Juvenile Court I have found that manliness and good conduct can be aroused and stimlated In boys, no THE CITY IN BRIEF Oliver Nixon, of Spieeland, Henry county, died suddenly yesterday morning.

ON CIGARETTES

matter what the offense of which they have been found guilty, if only they are not cigarette fiends. When a boy becomes addicted to the use of cigarettes the disease is in his blood and brain; his moral fiber is gone; he becomes apathetic, listless and Indifferent: his vitality has been sapped away and all the vigor that should characterize the normal boy Is gone. We have found that we have but small chance to reform and help the cigarette fiend unless the habit can be broken. Is Not a Pessimist. "I am not a pesslmfist. I do not believe that this country is becoming degenerate nor that it is dropping to a fatal decay. Ratherer I see it as a strong man rousing himself after sleep. Let this horrible vice'te throttled be fore it gets beyond the Nation's control; this deadly cigarette habit which is such recent growth and which is spreading over the country like an epidemic let it be wiped out and all will be well. I am glad to say that the effect of the passage of the Indiana anti-cigarette law has been to lessen greatly the number of cases of delinquency to be attributed to the cigarette habit "The parents of the boys all over this country should be aroused. Such a powerful and united effort should be made that the General Assembly in every state In the Union will be compelled to enact laws abolishing the cigarette and making it an oflense punishable -by imprisonment in the state prison for any person to sell a cigarette to a minor." TO TAKE POLL OF THE PARTY The Republican Precinct Committeemen Will Soon Get Very Busy. DEMOCRATS NOT ACTIVE. YESTERDAY WAS THE LAST DAY OF GRACE FOR NEW COMERS INTO INDIANA. The work of taking the six months poll is to begin shortly by the Republican precinct committeemen in Wayne county as well as in every other county of .Indiana. As usual the Democrats will not make a complete poll, depending on luck to carry them through. Conditions in the' Sixth district are said to be excellent frm a Republican standpoint, there being no factional fight that can be deemed serious. On the other hand the factional dsturbance In the Democratic ranks appears to be no nearer healed today than it was six months ago, in fact the warfare between the Taggartltes and the opposition to the leader Is becoming more and more bitter. Yesterday was, the last day of grace for voters who move into Indiana. The six months prior to election are now on and a qualified voter at next November's election must be a resident at least that length of time. A man moving from Ohio to Richmond today cannot vote, legally vat least, next November. " LAID EGG ON LADY'S HAT. A Joyful Bird took Kindly to Head Gear of a Milton Woman. f Palladium Special. Milton, Ind., May 7. A peculiar experience was that of Mrs. Curtis Little, of Milton. She had been out on the street and upon -her return was much surprised to find a bird egg rolling around on the man of the hour is ing about on the top of her hat The egg had been prevented from falling off by the hat brim. LOW PRICED AUTO HERE WILL STAND THE RACKET. John Clawson, Greensfork Dealer on the Right Track for the Farmer and Business man who Needs Machinery not Costing a Fortune. The value of the automobile as a business convenience in the city is not to be overestimated, but it also Is of as much value in the county for the busy farmer. John Clawson, of Greensfork, was in Richmond yesterday and he has the distinction of be ing perhaps the first man to establish an automobile emporium in Wayne county outside of - Richmond. Mr. Clawson has taken a step In advance of most auto dealers in that he has looked for a machine of low price that will stand the hardest kind of use and which can be used by the business man of the city and small towns or by the farmer. A runabout, -vita grsollne as the motive power, costing but 1400, and covered by the same guaran tee that high priced machines ae sold under, is the find of Mr. Clawson. The new auto runabout is "The Jewell" manufactured at Massillon. O and it promises to work an innovation In the business. The Greensfork Auto Agency has the rights for Wayne county and in addition to numerous machines sold In the countrr Mr Clawson has negotiations on "for the sale of several to Richmond business

DEMOCRATS ARE GREAT JOKERS

C. B. Landis Says that India- ' na will go Republican by 40,000 to 50,000. PARTY IS IN GOOD SHAPE. INDIANA CONGRESSMAN DE CLARES THAT SHERRICK'S PRISON SENTENCE WILL NOT AFFECT THE SITUATION. Palladium Special. Indianapolis, May 7. Representative Chales B. Landis thinks that the Democrats who are making claims to a Democratic victory in Indiana this year are great jokers. "Why',' said he, "the Republicans will carry Indiana however from 40,000 to 50,000. Do you suppose that the people of Indiana are going to vote for soup houses just because Governor Hanly sent Dave Sherrick to the penitentiary? The Democrats are talking about dissensions among Republicans. Our little family troubles are not a marker to the dissensions among the Democrats. It is a fine spectacle of harmony that the Democrats of Indiana are now presenting to the country. With one faction of the party with its hands on Tom Taggart's throat and with Democrats all over the state panting for each other's life blood they can well afford to talk about harmony!"
