TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. James S. Sherman, Chairman. T O. JU.v snr.-, Nc-,y York.

FOR PEACE LOVERS. If the United States cannot go nhoad with tho building of Its "biggest" battleship until it can assortain the size of the monster Italy is planning, the situation Is not only amusIng to tho cynical, but it is full of suggestion to the advocates of peace ns well as to the nations that are feeling the burden of their naval armaments more thru wo do, says the New York Times. Our purpose was to surpass the Jhitish Dreadnought, not because It was ISritish, but simply that we might have the largest war vessel atloat, which was tax pec ted to have by exceeding the Dreadnought's dimensions. Hut nov Italy has set us a harder tisU, at least on paper, and we must wait awhile, lest we have to bull? still another "biggest" battleship. Obviously, by a little judicious revelation of secret information the delay thus caused can be continued indefinitely, and It will only bo necessary for vach of the maritime countries to sjy that the next ship they build will to larger than tho largest ship any other country is planning to escape the building of any ships at all! The inexpensive honor of making these revelations could bo passed in turn from ono country to another, and it would be hard, at least for a believer in universal pence- and no propaiation for war, to see why everybody wouldn't be just as safe as If iuldKionj to the Hifferent navies were going on in the old way. Wo know, or at any rate we feel, that there Is somotinng wrong about this reasoning, and that tho scheme will not work, whether it would or not; but it does look pretty well on tho surface, and we think that it deserves serious consideration from the assorted idealists who hone and therefore assert that the human race has already reached the point where It can get along without any more wars. The chances the desperately numerous chances are that no such progress has yet been made. Even civil wars are still possible, as it too well demonstrated in Russia, whose poor little Czar had something or other to do with the establishment of The Hague Tribunal and thereby secured a large amount of rather gauzy fame as a promoter of peace. That fame is now deeply reddened with blood, and ho isn't submitting his controversies with his own people to any outside arbitrament, but is fighting them out in the old, old way that we have all come to hold equally unreasonable and wicked. -

THE CRUSADER WILL COME HERE

Miss Lucy Page Gaston to Visit Richmond Before Summer JEnds.

IS FIGHTING CIGARETTES

WILL TOUR THE ENTIRE STATE IN AN EFFORT TO POINT OUT THE EVILS OF CIGARETTES.

EVERYBODY

Miss Lucy Page Gaston .national superintendent of the Anti-Cigarette League; It. A. Ogg, of Kokomo, president (jf tho league in Indiana, and Senator Parks, of Plymouth, father of the Indiana anti-cigarette law,, have held a conference at Winona, when

they planned further work toward suppressing the cigarette in this state. Senator Parks is going to revise the law and offer it to the next session of the Indiana legislature. He will strengthen it in the weak clause which the Supreme court pointed out, when it found that the law did not prevent the smoking of the 'coffin nails." Miss Gaston is traveling over Indiana in the effort, to arouse the mothers and fathers against, the habit, anil

she will spend considerably time at Winona Lake this summer talking with Sunday school and church workers on how to conduct campaigns against the cigarette in local communities. Miss Gaston says that what is needed to make the present Indiana law effective is a law from Congress which would forbid the shipping of cigarettes from one state into another whore there is a legal act against them. She has organized a committee of 100 adults in Logansport to conduct a local campaign against the cigarette evil. She has organized a similar coy-mit-

tee at Fort Wayne and says she has Invitations from many (joints in Indiana which she hopes to accept. These committees may work under existing anti-cigaretto organizations, or may conduct their own campaigns. Miss Gaston will come to Richmond later on to organize' a committee. She is trying to interest women's clubs .churches, schools and other organizations and array them in active effort, against, the cigarette. She already has the support of the W. C. T. U. in every community where it is represented. Miss Gaston says the people of Indiana have not heard the last of the effort to drive the cigarette out of the state by any means that they are only beginning to hear of it.

MENACE TO HEALTH

Steamer From the Tropics Infested With Isthmian Fever. New Orleans, Aug. 4. The steamer Whitehall from Colon was declared menace to the health of all ports and orders were given by the state board of health to hold her indefinitely at the Mississippi river quarantine sta tion. The Whitehall has one of th worst fever epidemics on board in the records of tropical shipping, having arrived here with an outbreak of chagres fever. With the death of the steamer's second officer, three of her complement of 21 men have died and 16 others are in the hospital. Quarantine officials say that when the Whitehall entered the Mississippi river with scarcely enough well men to run her, so great was the amount of dirt and swarms of flies on her decks that the nerves of experienced physicians were shaken as they boarded her. The steamer will not be permitted to come to Xew Orleans under orders, even after the fever is cured. Kaiser on the "Red" Peril. Paris, Aug. 4. The Matin publishes the report of an interview which its correspondent had at Berlin with Emperor William. The kaiser ex pressed the opinion that the "yellow peril" was not a greater menace than the "red danger." "The heads of states," he added, "whether of absolute or constitutional monarchies or republics, hourly risk their lives. President Fallleres runs the same risks as the czar, and President Roosevelt the same risks as King Al fonso. Those aiming at the abolition of authority and order by governments are thoroughly agreed, while those charged with the duty of making order respected are unfortunately disagreed."

Licenses Were Not Needed

The statement in yesterday's issue that two picture canvassers were arrested for not taking out a license to sell their goods was in error, the canvassers in question being simply sent for to explain the methods of their business. This they did to the satisfaction of City Attorney Gardner who held that for this special lhe of work no licenses were required. The canvassers went to police headquarters and explained their business of their own volition after being requested to do so and were not placed under arrest as stated.

COMMENT ON STATE LIFE

Rough Notes Says the Insurance Company's Mutual Character Should not be Forgotten A Competent Board of Directors is Suggested.

Indianapolis, Aug., 4, (Spl.) Rough Xotos, the local insurance publication, devotes considerable space this week to the State Life Insurance Company and the State Agency Company. The report of E. E. Rittenhotise, deputy superintendent of insurance in Colorado, is used in full, and editorial comments are made. The editorial says, in part: "It would appear that, what the State Life needs most is a competent board of directors of representative policy holders in order that too much responsibility and power might not be vested in the single heads of departments. It is admitted that the agency scheme did not have the unanimous approval of the present board of directors, which is composed of five officers. The board should bo larger and have a proper representation for the policy holders. A close corporation is not consistent in the mutual life insurance company. A movement of such vital importance as was the stock agency scheme should not be altogether in the hands of officers of the company, carrying with it the disposition of a perpetual renewal contract, for all of which officials of the State Life are entirely responsible."

Greatest Courts Papc

c

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM IS ESSENTIALLY the greatest county paper published in Richmond. Going to press at three forty-five every morning the PALLADIUM is issued in time to make every rural route reached by morning mail inlhe county. Double Other Papers' Rural Route Circulation. INTELLEUENT RURAL ROUTE PATRONS have been quick to realize the advantages of receiving a local paper the same day it is published, and have subscribed to the PALLADIUM pushing its rural route list up by leaps and bounds, unW now the PALLADIUM has more rural route readers than the other two local papers combined. Reaches Routers Day of Publication. THE BIGGEST ARGUMENT IN GETTING rural route subscribers has been the fact that ths PALLADIUM is the only Richmond paper reaching them the same day of publication- Neither of the evening papers of Saturday reach tne rural-routers until the following Monday. Saturday's PALLADIUM reaches the rural router on Saturday, and Monday's PALLADIUM reaches him on Monday, the sameTda that the Saturday issue of the evening papers arrives.

LARGEST COVNTY CIRCULATION

A LITTLE GRAFT FOR CONDUCTOR

Indiana Shippers Eyes Opened by the Revelations Made to Railroad Commission.

SENSATIONAL EVIDENCE

CASE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO BOTH THE SHIPPERS AND THE RAILROAD COMPANIES OF THE STATE.

fPublishers Fressj Indianapolis ,Ind., Aug., -1. During the hearing of the petition of a number of shippers for a modification of the rules of the Indiana Car Service Association and for the establishment of reciprocal demurrage charges a stir was created by II. L. Uuuck, a hay and grain dealer at Prebel, Ind., who testified that he was unable to get care without paying the railroad con ductor $1 each for them. Buuck said he made repeated requests on the station agent, at Preble for cars, and was unable to get them, although he saw empty cars going through Preble on nearly every freight train. Finally he met the conductor of one of the freights and complained to him, after wiieh he made arrangements to pay him $1 for each car. While this arrangement continued he got all the cars he wanted, but none were set off for him after he stopped paying the conductor. He refused to give the hitter's name. He gave expert testimony regarding the workings of the car service, and expressed the opinion that the- planr. were fair to both the railroads and the, shippers, and presented the only way by which .all shippers could receive impartial treatment. This case is one of the most important the Railroad Commission has had to consider. Practically all the railroad companies in the state belong

to the Car Service Association. Thz

shippers have been complaining for a long time of the demurrage charges and are now trying to establish a reciprocal demurrage system. The question has been raised by the defendant whether or not the commission is authorized to establish reciprocal demurrage. The railroad attorneys insist that it is not; that its duties are limited to the readjustment of

freigh rates.

The commission will consider the

feature of the case after it hears all the testimony. It is probable, however, that it will decide that it has the authority to establish reciprocal demurrage charges in order that the

railroads may appeal to the higher Courts for a construction of the law on the question.
