The proposition submitted to the Board of Public Works by the American Seeding Company providing for the vacation of North Fourteenth street from K street to the tracks of the Pennsylvania System, in order to afford room for increasing the Hoosier plant's capacity ,if accepted and fav orably acted upon, ought to bo of great benefit to Richmond. Tho proposition, which has been presented in a straight forward fashion allowing not even the slightest suspicion of trickery or lntentionnl deceit, definitely states that If the street in question be vacated the American Seeding Company will .at once close contracts with contractors, and the new addition to the plant, barring unexpected delays, will be under roof before the end of the year. The proposed addition will cost In the neighborhood of $100,- - 000, and will afford employment for from three to four hundred more laborers. Three hundred or four hundred laborers together with their families will mean an Increase in population for Richmond of about one thousand souls, a fact which should be taken to heart by those ambitious to see our city grow In size and in the number of Inhabitants. Then .there Is another point to consider. Richmond today is essentially a manufacturing city, and its prosperity depends almost altogether on Its various factories. Thereforo it is clearly Richmond's duty to do everything in Its power to promote and encourage the expansion of any Industry located tiere. The proposed closing of Fourteenth street will occasion very llttlo damage to anyono else concerned, as It will simply divert traffic to Thirteenth street or to Fifteenth street. Furthermore the American Seeding Company has agreed to settle all damages ltsel, relieving the city from all responsibility. It is to be hoped that a proposition of such undoubted benefit to Richmond will be accepted. OVER SIXTH DISTCT. POOR SYLVESTER MEEK. Poor Sylvester Meek. The mean things that have been said about him since his election to the office of Democratic district chairman would fill a volume. And ho deserves it all. The most serious offense a man can commit under our system of government is the betrayel of a trust confided to him by his constituents. Had Sylvester Meek voted in accordance w:.h the pledges which secured him his election his party would have been In a better condition In the state than It Is today. The one vote of Sylvester Meek was vital and on his head must naturally descend the most bitter maledictions of a betrayed constituency. Rushville Star. ORATORY AND POLITICS. Francis T. Roots, of Connorsville, is In demand as a high school commencement orator. The Rev. Kuhn. of Richmond, likewise is kept busy. Commencement orations and political ambitions seem to go hand in hand. Rushville Star. THE STRAGETIC POINT. In the platform adopted by the state convention, the Republicans seized the stragetlc point in standing not only for the wise enactment of laws, but for "the fearless and honest enforcement of laws enacted". On these two propositions the Republican parjy can successfully challenge the onslaughts

INDIANA STILL

Literature, Poetry, Pork and Beans and Canned Goods Coxe From Hooslerdom in the Greatest Profusion.

The effete east, which some years ago was aroused to the realization that she was coming to Indiana for literature, poetry and pork and beans, has just been jarred again. Her statistical wonders have just discovered, that tlty tomato can has been following the westward bound star of empire. The statlsticans In the east are now discovering the fact that, unless figures He terribly the old standard states are coming to Indiana and her surrounding states for their "tinned goods" canned tomatoes, canned corn and peas and even canned milk. It has been discovered, over in the European mummy markets, that the finest Egyptian mummies of the time of the Rameses are being manufactured in Italy, but this discovery is no more startling than the one that Delaware, Maryland, New York and New England are beginning to awaken to the fact that the finest brand of "New Hampshire" maple "sirup" comes out of the Chicago hickory bark factories and that the finest "New England" "Maryland", "Delaware" and "Down East" brands of canned goods are coming out of Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. Standards are becoming the western brands and many of the Indiana cannors have stopped labeling their fine goods with the names of high standing down east. states and are beginning to build reputations on the good old styled name "Hoosier." An expert on the shifting scene has made an elaborate diagnosis of the rolling of the vegetable can from the east to the west, and attributes it to the changing of the center of population and of the money supply from the east to the west. He has, however, overlooked the fact that even the farmers "out west" have trained their palates to canned goods, though they have not been educated up to a point tf say "tinned goods." Instead of Baltimore, New York and even far-famed brown bread and beanBoston being the great distributing of Democracy. While the Democratic party has done many foolish and silly things, It cannot be bo foolish and so silly as to make the question of law enforcement an issue. Thus at a single stroke Democracy finds Itself without a state Issue. The Republican party has cleaned Its own house. The Democratic party will not dare to de- - -v ( cj o nownfr rf lxv nor Its fearless and honest enforcement. .... ... .j A. .w.-.-t.. v4-oiaio iiuii.y IS not an issue nor id David Sh3rrick nor Daniel Storms. Thus In the first round the Republicans have completely outgeneraled their opponents. Shelbtyvllle Republican. AS TO HOUSE CLEANING. Some of the Democratic papers who rally to the defense of Taggartlsm are advising Republican house cleaning before attention Is called to Democratic dirt. The Republicans are amply able to do their own house cleaning and this has been done most effectively within the past year. It Is far more important to the people to keep the Republican party clean than It is to attempt to reform the Democratic party. The cause of Democracy is hopeless, and the people may be depended upon to see that it never gets Into power. Greenfield Tribune. BOSTON. Palladium Special. Boston, May 10. Owen Druley, little son of Clarence Druley died Monday afternoon at five o'clock after a lingering illness of heart disease. The funeral was held at Concord church, Wednesday afternoon. Sympathy Is extended to the bereaved relatives and friends. Memorial Day services will be observed at Boston this year on June third. The committee in charge have been very fortunate in securing the Rev. Daniel Ryan, of southern Indiana to deliver the memorial address. Rev. Ryan was formerly of this place, and no introduction is necessary, as the mere announcement insures a large attendance. An interesting program will be prepared. A number of young people were entertained delightfully Saturday' evening at the home of Miss Gertrude Fouts, it being a surprise party in honor of her twenty-first birthday anniversary. The guests were entertained during the evening with various games and a guessing contest for which prizes were given. At a late hour elegnat refreshments were served. The company included the following guests: Misses Margaret Kitchel, Ruby Bryant. Nellie Davenport, Florence Parks, Josephine Muer, Grace Stanley. Luella Druley, Olga Mullins.

IN THE LEAD

points for our national reserve supply of food stuffs that are stowed away In cans, Indianapolis, Chicago and St Louis are becoming the great centers. The great Jobbing concerns of these cities do millions of dollars worth of business every year and some of them find that from 20 to 25 per cent of their trade Is In canned goods. The three big canned crops are tomatoes, corn and " peas. The eastern tsatlsticlans say New York, Maryland, New Jersey and Delaware, with their surrounding sister states, formerly had a corner on this Industry, but they have seen their business decrease and come to Indiana, Wisconsin. Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and other western states. The statisticians, who have it all figured out, even to the can, say that Indiana has especially come to the front In recent years. With Wisconsin, Indiana has taken a great portion of the canned pea production from Maryland and New York. These four states now supply over 30 per cent of the marketable canned peas and the two wester states are rapidly forging ahead of the two eastern ones. The total pea pack of the country at this time is about 3,500,000 cases of twenty-four cans each. The eastern statistlcans find that Indiana, Illinois and Iowa now lead the list in the production of canned corn, and that in the production of canned tomatoes Indiana, among the western, .states, has had a most notable rise, and she Is now next to Maryland. Delaware and New Jersey are losing their tomato output and our Indiana is gaining almost In proportion, although Ohio is sharing the benefit. Illlnols's prairie land has been found poor for the production of tomatoes In commercial quantities, but the cleared forest land of Indiana has proved especially fitted to their culture. Consequently tomato canning plants have grown up like mushrooms in Indiana, and there are at this time 110 of them in this state. BRICK EXPLAINS VOTE HAS BEEN MISUNDERSTOOD Indiana Congressman Believes That Money Used For Seeds Could Be Better Applied to Making Experiments in New Fruit Trees. Publishers' Press , Washington, D. C, May 10. Representative Brick, of Indiana, who voted against the free seed distribution says that his vote was misunderstood by many persons. He is not against the idea of distributing seeds to the farmers, and he has' done his share along with the other members of the House and Senate. But he thinks that the money and distribution could be made in a better and more progressive way. Mr. Brick says that the government spends for garden and flower seeds between $500,000 and $600,000 each year. This amount of money includes the purchase of seeds, pays the employes for packing them, franking them through the mails and pays for the railroad expenses in sending them out broadcast over the country. He is not in favor of sending out seeds of the common variety, but favors sending out new- and rare plants, trees and seeds that are best adapted to the soil and would add to the cultivation of crops not now commonly known and used by farmers in various parts of the United States. He believes that a part of the fund could be well used by the department in experimental purposes and then give the people something new. The old kind of seeds any one can get everywhere. He says that right now the Agricultural department Is working secretly on cultivating a new species of pear in this country, which will keep as well as apples through a season. If this be accomplished it will work wonders In the fruit business of the United States. Mr. Brick contends that the department ought to have a part of his money for just this sort of work.

HAVE FEARS OF THE SENATORS

Members of House Think Senators Are Acting in Bad Faith on Rate Bill. TOO MANY AMENDMENTS IT 18 SAID THAT THE PURPOSE OF SENATE IS TO MAKE ACTION UNCONSTITUTIONAL STATESMEN JUST LAUGH. Publishers' Prese Washington, May 10. Now that it has steam up ,the Senate is putting into the railroad rate bill provisions which the House dared not consider because of their radical character. Here is what the Senate has added to the bill to date: An anti-pass provis ion; an amendment providing that pipelines shall be common carriers and therefore amendable to the pro visions or the interstate commerce laws; a provision divorcing railroads from the business of mining and marketing coal after May 1, 1908: an amendment compelling railroads to put in switches for shippers on rea sonable terms .and a provision compelling roads to give equally good service and like accommodations to all persons paying the same comensa tion for interstate transportation. Representatives Are Suspicious. Some of the conservative members of the House are half inclined to doubt whether the Senate is acting in good faith. Thty fear Senators may be loading the Hepburn bill down with amendments for a purpose, that purpose being to make the act unconstitutional. Members of the House are already pointing out that the Senate's amend ment, declaring that pipelines are common carriers .conflicts with the amendments prohibiting common car riers from engaging in any business other than transportation. P is as serted ,for instance, that the Stand ard Oil Company, if held to be a com mon carrier, will be stopped under the second amendment from owning oil lands and engaging In the business of producing oil. Senators laughingly say that they are giving the public what it wants. Undoubtedly all the Senate amendments will be carefully scrutinized after the bill goes to con ference and again, when it comes be fore the President for his signature. THE DIFFERENCE SHOWN MUNCIE PLANT'S TROUBLES Richmond Test of Municipal Owner ship Proves Much More Satisfactory Than the Experiment at Muncie The Cause has been Pointed out. The Muncie Times of yesterday con tained the following: The Municipal electric lighting plant at Richmond, unlike the one in Muncie, furnishes light and power for commercial purposes instead of mere ly for street lighting. During the month of April the Richmond plant netted $995.14 above expenses, includ ing new equipment and maintenance beside furnishing street lighting wVch would have cost the city $1,812.50 without charge. The Muncie- plant has at times proven so expensive as to cause some of the officials to suggest the advisability of selling the plant and buying street lights from a pri vate company. No action along this line has been taken, however, although numerous suggestions have been made looking td an increase in the efficiency of the plant. The constant changes and improvements which are being made in electrical machinery soon renders a modern plant obsolete and this has been one source of the trouble in Muncie. However changes have been made by Superintendent Harry McCullough .which are expected to secure satisfactory results. New Officers Named. fPalladlum Special. Centerville, May 10.
