should now resign and let some man who can command respect take his place provided Botss Starr will permit it. Item. v During the campaign the Item waged against Mr. Kirkman it declared in substance that drinking was the least of his sins, and stated that the worst had not been told. We have learned what these insinuations are and we, think that if the Item pretends to be sincere in any respect it should publish what it knows. We are sure that if it can prove Its insinuations it is but justice to the voters of this community that they be produced. The Item need not be afraid of libel, as proof of the charges it claims to be able to produce would free Jt of any penalty. We wait with interest the reply of the Item which always claims to be so solicitous for right to prevail and if as its duty plainly indicates it dares make public its charges with proof attached, the Palladium will only too gladly join it In any measures it takes to rid the Republican Party of Mr. Kirkman. If on the contrary the Item refuses to make public its charges, its action in so doing will lay it open to the contempt of the outraged confidence of the voters of Richmond and Wayne county. ,,

The editorial reprinted above was taken from the Palladium of November 10. UpJ:o the present time the Item has made no answer. We have delayed pressing the matter until this time as we wished to be absolutely fair to the Item and give it plenty of time in which to prepare any answer it could make. We have understood that the editor of the Item has declared that he will make no answer as he will not make a "sewer" of his paper. It seems to us that It does not matter what effect publication of the Item's charges will have upon that paper so much, as to show whether or not It has been fair to Mr. Kirkman; whether it has assailed his character with falsehoods or whether its charges are true. The Palladium does not want to pass judgement on the Item without the latter paper has a chance to reply in some way at least. So we repeat our offer made in the above editorial and if the Item will furnish its charges against Mr. Kirkman with proof attached, the Palladium will join with it in taking necessary measures. Now if is distinctly up to the Item to prove that it waged its last political campaign on honest grounds or else sought to gain its point by publishing false insinuations

Twins in Corruption There are two cities in this country that very greatly need revolutionary reform namely, Pittsburg and San Francisco. In our opinion the need of Pittsburg Is the greater. Here is an old city in which there has been no disturbances of the ordinary processes of the law, and no break in its life. It is rich and powerful. Many, if not most of its citizens, are honest and law-abiding men. And yet in Pittsburg at' the present time, life and property seem to be as unsafe as in the rudest and most lawless frontier community. People are assaulted and murdered in their own homes. They are "held up" in the streets. The lawless and criminal classes do not seem to be in the slightest terror of the law or its officers. The truth, of course, is that in Pittsburg there has been a certain form of lawlessness for many years. Her rich men have been a law unto themselves. They have traded in public office and public franchises, have sought and gained favors to which they were not entitled, have affronted moral sense of the community by their private lives and their disregard of the moral law, and have shown an utter contempt for their social obligations. Of course this is not true of all of them. And yet it seems fair to say that wealth, as wealth, has in Pittsburg done much to bring about the present disgraceful situation. Evil living, contempt! of public opinion, shameful marriages, vulgar and wicked display all these have bred a temper which, was sure to break out in all forms of violence. Pittsburg has simply come into her own. She has reaped the crop which she has for years been sowing with a lavish hand. More policemen may help, but they will not cure the evil. A moral revolution must -be some way be effected. Turning to San Francisco we find similar condition. It now seems that the very hour of her distress thousands of dollars contributed by a generous people to relieve that distress were stolen. There is the same lawlessness as we see in Pittsburg. The citizen is apparently less safe than he was in the old pioneer days. The rebuilding of thecity is being seriously retarded by the greed of material men and laborers. San Francisco has for many years been governed by trades unions, and they have imposed restrictions which no other city in the land would submit to against which the workingman of other cities would themselves be the first to rebel. Nothing like the trades union disposition in San Francisco was ever before known in this country. The leaders hold themselves above the law. In the end the very men who are clutching the city by the throat will be the worst sufferers. For if they do not permit work to be done on resonable terms, no work will be done. San Francisco, too, has been cursed by unscrupulous wealth. Corporation politics has thrived in that city. Suddenly acquired fortunes have had their invariable effect And now in the very crisis of her history San Francisco's moral foundations which are the only ones on which she can permanently rebuild are crumbling under, her.

New System Enables Operators to

Mercy of Contract MinersLaborers Big Earnings.

New York, Nov. 17. The following statement is authorized on behalf of the anthracite coal operators: Mine laborers are benefiting largely from the rule of the Anthracite Strike Commission, requiring that the operators make direct payments to contract miners' helpers. Formerly the miner w as supposed to pay his own laborers, who load -the coal cut or blaster by him. Under that system the operators had no way of knowing the wages earned by miners laborers, and were therefore unable to refute the cry of '"starvation wages." Now they find that the laborer frequently receives for his work, which requires no skill, from $2.50 to $2.73 a tlay. The contract miners laborers often fared badly under the old system. The miner frequently failed to pay him at all, and as ha had no right to look to the company for redress, he was helpless. When he was paid the saloon was generally selected as the pay place, in order that the saloonkeeper might assist In making change: and it frequently happened that both the miner and the laborer spent much of their earnings over the bar before they left the saloon. These evils have been done away with as a result of the direct-payment award, which is now fully in force. All contract miners are required to furnish, prior to each pay day, a statement of the amount due from them io their laborers. The coal company;

Protect Helpers formerly at must deduct that sum from the amount due the contract miner, and pay it directly to the laborer. By this method the laborer is sure of his money, and the necessity of going to the saloon is removed. If on pay day the laborer claims that the miner has understated the amount due him, the company holds back thejay of both until the discrepancy is adjusted. The company keeps an ac count of the time that the laborer works and is accordingly able to assist in settling such a dispute. MILTON, Milton, Nov., 17, (SpT.) Tier.

INVOLVES GREAT EXPENSE

Inaianapons, Nov. 17. It Is the duty of electric ro.ds in Indiana to keep stock off their tracks. The Supreme court has so held in the case of Wilber Campbell vs. the Indianapolis & Northwestern Traction company, in which the court says: "(1) Under Section 1, acts 1903, page 428 (Section 5479d, Burns Supp., 1905.) an electric interurban railroad is under substantially the same obligation to fence its tracks against domestic animals as a steam railroad. (2) -Where a horse went upon a railroad track without its owner's fault through insufficient fence and escaped injury by trains and cars, the railroad company still owed the duty to avoid such negligent operation of ! its cars as would drive the horse into an open bridge or otherwise cause it to be injured. Such company is liable for negligent injuries to animals so upon its track, although not within the statutory penalty. (3) In an action under the statute I for injury to domestic animals on an unfenced railroad track proof that an engine or car struck the injured ani I mals is essential." QUIT ARMY After Being Guaranteed Big Salary By Mayor Weaver. Philadelphia, Nov. 17. The condi tions under which Major Cassiu3 Gil lette resigned his commission in the United States army and came to this city to accept the position of chief of filtration bureau caused widespread comment when made public. The agreement sets forth that as the mayor was anxious" to have Major Gillette become chief of the bureau of filtration, and "in view of the refusal of congress to adopt a resolution giving the major leave of absence and authority to accept the position, the major agrees to resign from the army and take the city office, provided he is guaranteed $55,000 for five years." It further sets forth that "Thomas B. Wanamaker, in the public interest, agrees to deposit securities in the sum of $55,000 with an investment company, to be held in trust as a guarantee for Major Gillette's salary." Major Gillette's salary as chief of the filtration bureau Is $17,000. The mayor's term of office expires in April and as a new mayor might desire to appoint some one In the major's place the $55,000 stands as a guarantee fer the balance of the major's salary.

ASPHALT CO. ANSWERS IN BARBER LIBEL SUIT

Charges Hade Against Trust Evidence of Conspiracy in New York, Nov. 17. Disclosures which will "clear up many obscure aspects of the Venezuela asphalt controversy are promised at the approaching trial of Amzi L. Barber's suit for liable against the General Asphalt Co.. Evidence already taken before a referee 'shows that Barber began to offer Bermudez asphalt for sale as soon as President Castro placed a receiver ia-control of the property. Barber Is suing in the New York Supreme Court for $100,006 damages, claiming that he has been injured to that extent by charges made in the last Annual Report of the Company. The Company's answer just filed Is a 25,000-word history of the asphalt industry, going back to the grant of Bermudez Lake by President Crespo in 1883, and jsetting forth in detail the alleged conspiracy by which it claims to have been defrauded of its property by Barber acting in conjunction with President Castro and A. H. Carner. In addition to this, the President of the Company stated in b?s report that Barber ha-1 failed to account for over half a million dollars involved in the organization of the new Trinidad Lake Asphalt Co. All these charges are AB1NGT0N. Abington, Ind., Nov. 17.. (Spl.)

A liver cup was given for a new seedling rose, color of American Beauty, now under label as "Seedling A. No. 1." Promoter Backed Up By Which Castro Had Part. now backed up by voluminous documentary evidence. 4 As to the charge that Barber engineered the deal by which Bermudez Lake was thrown into the hands of a "receiver" by Castro, as the result of a deal under which the President, the "receiver" and Barber were to share the profits of the, sale of asphalt from the Venezuelan lake, Mr. Barber is now confronted by the evidence just given before a referee in New York by William Young Klnleyslde, one of his business associates. Kinleyside states that he was invited to go into the deal as the selling agent for Bermudez asphalt in England. He quotes Barber as saying that "most of the judges who have been unfavorable (to the sequestration of the asphalt lake) have been removed." One of Barber's letters was produced by Kinleyside in which the writer said that there was "nothing to do but wait patiently for the mills of the courts to grind out the grist which we are all anxious to get." Another letter introduced states that "until Mr. Carner has obtained his permanent foothold, we are only acting tentatively."
