PRAISE WAS GIVEII

TO "JIM WAT i Chicago Papers Say H? Shared the Honors With Speaker Cannon at Banquet. INTERVIEW GIVEN OUT the sixth district cngress;man talks interestingly on th general condition of the present campaign. All of the Chicago newspapers pay tribute to Congressman Watson as fwell as Speaker Cannon in the published accounts of the Marquette club banquet held at the Auditorium hotel on Tuesday night. Congressman "Watson was at his best and the Chicago Tribune says that he shared the Hionors of the evening with the distinguished speaker, , his address being one of the bright spots of the evening. The Tribune adds that Cannon was honored "for what he is," and 'Watson "for what he says." Watson on the Issues. In an interview given out Tuesday relative to the political situation in general, Congressman Watson talked interestingly of the chief issues In the. present campaign. "I think," said he, "that the tariff is not a real issue in this campaign and that no amount of tariff agitation by the Democrats will make it an issue. Probably it approaches the dignity of an issue more nearly in Iowa than in any other state where. we have spoken. There is considerable sentiment for tariff revision in Iowa, but even there the people are not willing that the tariff shall be revised by the Democrats. "I find that everywhere tariff revisionists are awakening to the fact that the greatest hope for iariff revision is in the election of a Republican house of representatives. The are beginning to realize that if the Democrats were to carry the house this year there would be no chance whatever for a revision of the tariff by the Sixtieth congress because a Republican senate would never concur in what a Democratic house would do. "I find," continued Mr. Watson., "that tha expression of the Indiana Republican platform on the tariff is being adopted by Republican leaders all over the country, and it has really become a national slogan. That the tariff will be revised by the Republican party whenever revision will do more good than harm, as announced In the Indiana platform, 'is now the attitude of the party nationally." "Are you a stand-patter?" the "whip" was asked. "I really don't tknow," he replied. "If you mean to ask me whether I am a stand-patter In the sense that the Dlngley schedules should never be changed, I will say unhesitatingly 'that I am not. If you mean to inquire whether I think the tariff should be revised at the next session of congress I will reply with equal promptness that I am a stand-patter in that sense. Attitude on RevTsion. "The Republican party can not name an exact date when it will be in favor of revising the tariff. To say that we shall be ready to begin the work of revision on February 22, 1909, at i p. m., would be preposterous. Business conditions throughout the country will furnish the index that will guide the Republican party and there will be no revision until it is apparent that it will do more good than harm to the country. There is no such thing as a? perfect tariff bill. The one now on the statute books has inequalities and the next one will have also. All legislation is compromise and every bill is a patchwork. This is particularly true of a tariff bill, because it touches every township and community in the United States." Mr. Watson says that the Democratic situation in Missouri, where he and Mr. Cannon spent considerable time .is very much like the Republican situation in Iowa. Folk," said he, "has divided the Democratic party in Missouri and Cummins has divided the Republican party in Iowa, so that the outlook, as far as congressmen is concerned, is doubtful in many districts in each state. We now have ten Republican congressmen in Missouri out of six teen, and I am inclined to beve that we shall elect ten again this' year. Folk wants to be elected senator to succeed "Gum-Shoe Rill' Stone. This year Stime permitted Folk to'capture th organization, so that the whole burden of conducting the campaign is on Folk. It the Democrats lose the election Folk will be lost in the shuffle and will not embarrass Stone when he seeks re-election two years hence. The f is a general impression in Missouri that 'Gum-shoe Bill' will not shed any tears if Folk's organization should happen to get a black eye.In fact, it is thought that 'Gum-shoe Bill will help, in his quiet but effective way, to blacken the orbs of his Democratic rival. The Republicans in Missouri are up and fighting. We had large meetings in the west and the enthusiasm was great" Named as Delegates. Mrs. E. M.

OHIO Fair and somewhat warmer Thursday and Friday; diminishing , north winds t i.; 5 , i.f-'f USUAL ORDER REVERSED SNOW BEFORE A FROST 'Oldest Inhabitant" Remarks at the Queer Antics of the October Weather Temperature Took a Decided Slump Yesterday. The snow fall yesterday, while light was remarkable in two ways. First it came a trifle earlier than general, for the first half of October rarely witnesses any of the "beautiful" in this latitude. The most extraordinary thing, however, is that snow this year preceded frost. Despite the falling temperature during the past few days there was no frost In this locality and the snow storm beat "old Jack" in this year's race. The "oldest inhabitant" professes surprise at the antics of this October weather but the prediction is freely made that before October is ended there will be a period of warm weather, characteristic of Indian summer. LITTLE GAS LAST NIGHT Many Persons Sat in Darkness While Those Who Depended on It for Heati Shivered, The natural gas supply was lower last night, than at any time this year, and those persons depending on it for light and heat were both cold and almost in darkness.- Pres. Hibberd of the Natril V?s Company, stated last night that the company could not fill the demand, which was too great for the present supply. In the courseof three or four weeks the new pipe line will be completed and the company will have access to-the new fields, and. hopes then to have a supply that will fill the demands. MAY SETTLE THE MIX-UP THE C, C. & L.'S FUTURE Effort Being Made to Get the Road Out of the Courts The Bonds Issued and Guaranteed by the Pere Marquette. " Publishers' Pressl Cincinnati, O., Oct. 10. It is possible that within the next ten days a compromise will be made in the litigation between the C, C. & L. and the Pere Marquette over the bonds which the latter road had guaranteed for the purchase of the former. According to the plans under way to end this suit, which might be In the United States court for years, the C, H. & D. is to be credited with the improvements made on the C, C. & L. and the difference remaining is to be paid to the C, C. & L. The bonds issued and guaranteed by the Pere Marquette are to be canceled and destroyed, and W. A. Bradford, president of the C, C. and L. is to be given back his stock in the property. The settlement of this suit will end one of the worst tanglements that took place in the formation of the short-lived Great Central route. Had Narrow Escape. Cambridge City, Oct. id, (Spl.) Geo. E. Schafer, Jr., met with a very serious accident this movninig while driving a span of mules to a heavy gravel wagon from his home south of Germanton, into town. As he was crossing the tracks near the Germantown depot, the rear end of his wagon was struck by the 5:25 mail train from the east.

HEW CARS MAY

START III MOKTH Limited Interurban Trains Be tween Indianapolis and Dayton to Be Models. FREIGHT TRAFFIC GROWS LOCAL TRACTION LINES CANNOT HANDLE ALL SHIPMENTS ON THEIR LINES THE BAGGAGE PROBLEM. Much local interest is being mani fested in the meeting of the American Interurban Railway Association which convenes in Columbus, O., next week. The question as to when the new through interurban cars will be started between Indianapolis and Day ton will be decided. It was stated at the interurban station yesterday that the new cars were about ready to be turned out from the factory, and when completed would be the best equipped of any running today in the United States. It is thought that the cars will be started in the course of the next month. Another feature that will attract lo cal Interest is the question as to whether the traction lines will make a determined effort to capture freight business or devote their exclusive at tention to the passenger business. It is said that several of the most im portant traction officials of Indiana and Ohio, are in favor of devoting the exclusive attention of the various roads to passenger business and make their service much better than that on the railroads. They say that since many of the railroads are contemplat ing reducing their fare, the traction lines will either have to reduce theirs or put on as good passenger service as the railroads are giving to their pa trons. The freight business out of, and through Richmond on the various in terurban lines, has grown to such proportions that it is almost impossible to handle it. The Dayton and West ern line added two new freight cars to their service some time ago, but these do not begin to take care of the business. The Indianapolis and Eastern runs two freight cars each way from Richmond, and these cannot handle the rapidly growing traffic. Since the Dayton and Western and the Indianapolis and Eastern have consolidated into the Indianapolis, Co lumbus and Eastern, traffic arrange ments are such that freight can be handled between Dayton and. Indianap olis, and many of the wholesalers and merchants are taking advantage of this feature. Every day much freight passes through Richmond from these two points. It is probable that on the interur ban cars built in the future more al lowance will be made for baggage room, for since the interurbans have agreed to carry one hundred and fifty pounds of baggage free, this feature has grown a third greater than it was ever before. " ' , HANLY TD BREAK GROUND NEWV INSANE HOSPITAL Dr. S. E. Smith and E. M. Campfield, the Latter the Contractor, will Be Among the Persons Present at Ceremonies. Dr. S. E. Smith, medical superintendent of Easthaven, who has been acting in the capacity of expert advisor to the state commission which located and will build the new hospital for the insane at Madison, will go to that city next Monday to attend the ceremonies incident to breaking ground for the new institution. Governor Hanly will lift the first shovelful of dirt from the excavation. The governor will shed his coat, roll up his sleeves and manipulate the spade at U o'clock in the afternoon. Governor Hanly will start the excavation at the request of the contractor, E. M. Campfield, formerly of Richmond, who is to erect the newmillion dollar institution. It is not the intention of the commission to ar range any other ceremonies. Con tractor Campfield decided that the governor might prove a mascot and bring good luck to him in the con struction of the great building. It is expected that a large crowd of Jefferson county people will be present when the excavations are begun. Funeral of John Craig. Cambridge City, . Oct. 10, (Spl.) The funeral of Jno.

MORE PETTY THIEVING RUNGE'S STORE ENTERED Youngsters, Who it is Thought Com- - mitted Theft, Left Melon Rinds and Cigar Stubs in Alley Behind the Store. The feed store of, J. Runge & Co. 16 South 7th street was entered last Sunday afternoon and eleven cents, three cigars and three muskmelons were stolen. The police were notified. Sometime Sunday afternoon one or more persons forced . their way through the large double doors at the rear of the feed store, and thence into the enclosed office. Craftiness was shown by the thieves in that they did not force the money drawer but took the one-a its side out and then they reached the pennies in the till. The cigars were taken from the desk and the melons from " a basket near by. Later the melons were found in the alley beside the doors with a cigar stub in each one of them. Suspicion directs to a gang of young boys who are ranging "that neighborhood as Joseph Brumley, who has a fish market at 1 South 6th street saw a number of youngsters playing in the alley a short time befor the theft is supposed to have occurred. Brumley states that several times he has missed articles from his place, and once some money. TAPPED THE TILL FOR $11 Thief Enters Harmier's Grocery by Picking Lock on Front DoorTook Only Money.

Spuds Show Their Right to be Called Hard Hitters, by Knocking "Doc" White from Box in Three Innings. FANS BRAVE THE WEATHER TO SEE GREAT CONTEST. Every One of the National's Tallies Was Helped by a ' Misplay of the Sox Too Cold for BasebalL Publishers' Pressl . Chicago, Oct. 10. Chicago baseball cranks shivered through another afternoon of wintry blasts this afternoon to see the Cubs even up matters with the White Sox in their struggle to decide which team shall bear the In-. scription, "World's Champions." Tho Cubs had it all their own-way. They trounced Coniiskey's team and got! plenty of revenge for the beating of the day before. Chance and his men. showed their class at the bat and pounded the Sox pitchers hard and often and won the day by a score of 7 to 1. "Doc" White took a chance with his most excellent hot weather arm, but it soon stiffened in the breeze of today. He lasted for three innings and then Frank Owen, who has excel-i' lent fielding habits, relieved the dentist twirler. " In the meantime tho Cubs had bunted and hammered in three .tallies and while Frank was in they added four more to make themselves strong again with the West Side fans. Reulbach Was a Bit Wild.' On the other hand the Sox had a terribly time to secure two safe swats and their one lonely tally. Rig Ed Reulbach hurlel the ball about the knees, head and neck and they couldn't land in safe ground. Had Ed not been a bit wild he would have shut out the foe for they could do little with the curves. The weather was awful. In spite of this fact there lacked but 98 heads of being as many at the game as yesterday. - These nintfty-eight are supposed to be In bed with' pneumonia for their seats were paid for, but unoccupied. This puts , the teams back on even terms again In the race for honor and the struggle will be resumed tomorrow afternoon at the West Side park. Too Cold for Good Play. Before the game it 'seemed that it would be impossible to play. During the game there were several messes made by the men which can be laid to numb fingers. Every one of tho Cubs' tallies was helped some by misplays on the part of the Sox. They began in the second inning when tho (Continued on Page Two.) CASE IS COMPROMISED WM.

Last spring the Palladium gave out thousands of rose plants of many varieties and most of the patrons of the paper who were so fortunate as to receive these plants succeeded well with their culture during the summer. Inquiries have been constant during the past few days as to how the plants should be protected from te winter weather. Most of the rose plants in the Palladium's list are exceptionally hardy, one or two varieties are capable of standing the winter without protection, but the safe rule would be to cover them all with a thin layer of leaves or green boughs, which will afford the desired protection and should render them immune to. any serious injury.
