FORUM OF THE PEOPLE OPEN TO ALL. TENDENCY IS DANGEROUS. Editor Palladium: Certain automobllists seem to be troubled -with a tendency, rather dangerous these warm days, to heated criticisms of alleged cruel treatment at the hands of the authorities in Cambridge City. A statement of another side of the case may not be amiss. We of Cambridge City are not of the number Of those who would deny our roads to any vehicle that ta run with regard to the Tights of others, but regarding the matter from the standpoint of a woman who finds It necessary to drive a horse on these roads, some points Eeem to have been overlooked. Our fathers before U3 paid heavy taxes to make and maintain these roads, and we of the present day who live In the community, pay even heavier taxes for the purpose of keeping them In order. That we have the first right to use them cannot be disputed. Again, we are peculiarly situated as to roads In western Wayne county. East of Cambridge there Is no road that par allels the National road either to the north or south at a convenient dis tance. If It had been absolutely nec essary for any one to drive from Penn vllle to Cambridge City on July 17 with a horse whose capacity for autos was less than 13 per hour, he would have had to go as far south as Milton or as far north as Jacksonburg, in the first case doubling the distance, in the second trebling it. It might be well for a committee of the Richmond Auto club to make that tour, in Imagination at least, on a hot day in a buggy with a horse equally capable of only a mod erate rate of speed and all sorts of gymnastics upon meeting an auto ram pant. After such healthful and enlightening exercise let the committee fairly Judge as to whom apologies are due. In the main, autoists are more con Biderate, except at night, than former ly. About two years ago it was nec essary for my sister and myself to be driving into town rrom the east at noon on a hot, dusty day. On the narrojv road west of the bridge be tween here and Germantown, we saw coming down the hill at a high rate of speed, in a great cloud of dust what proved to be an interuroan car and an automobile racing. e were compelled to drive between them, and ow ing entirely to the advanced age and feebleness of our horse came through without accident. And this is not an Isolated incident, as another member of our family had just such an experi ence at almost the same place less than a year before. In neither case were we driving for pleasure. Such pieces : of recklessness, even if they do not cost lives, may entirely ruin valuable horses for driving. Such things are not so common now. The mania is milder and the numbers correspond lngly larger. Rut twice during tho last week, after It was too dark too see numbers, our carriage was compelled to turn entirely off the road by automobiles, in one catte where the post of a rural mail box might have caused trouble. The lights of the auto In both cases must have shown the car riage plainly. If the horse had not evidently been rendered almost uncon scious by the odor of the machine, no telling what might have happened. To such incidents that seem to show either a dense ignorance of the proper uses of roads, or entire disregard for the rights of others, and the laws of the country on the part of these reclt less drivers of autos, is due entirely, the feeling against said autos and their seemingly temporarily insane drivers. It is necessary for such per sons to be taught the right of the mat ter In some way and the strong arm of the law seems so far to be the most potent agency. HANNAH B. OVERBECK. ONLY DID HIS DUTY. Editor Palladium and Sun-Tele-jrram I saw In your Issue of July 21, nn article headed "Condemn Action of Prischell in Stopping a Car," and wish to say that it misrepresents the marshal very much when it says that all ho is after is the few dollars that an arrest brings him. I have heard him spoken of In and about Cambridge City, hundreds of times and I never heard him spoken of as a man who wanted anything but to enforce the laws and that Is what every officer should do and what he Is sworn to do, and the driver of an auto should be compelled to obey the laws as well as those that cannot afford a machine of that kind. As to the merits of this particular case I do not known, but I have seen the autos go through that city at a speed that was dangerous to others that were on the streets and if we are to be In danger of loosing our lives or have an autolst arrested once In a while for violating the law we had better have the arrest made Dan Drischel is not a relative nor an Intimate friend of mine but. I know him to be an officer who wants the laws enforced and one who ha3 the courage to try to enforce them, although the offender. Is a person that

THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN KILLED; SENTTO MORGUE Father and Son Have Thrilling Time at Elwood. ELECTRIC BOLT THE CAUSE Elwood, Ind., July 27. During a severe storm Wesley Cole and son started homeward in a single buggy. A blinding flash of lightning, accompanied by a vivid peal of thunder, frightened the horse, which ran away with such speed that the buggy top and seat were torn off, and both father and son were hurled backward to the ground and were rendered unconscious by the fall. Tersons witnessing the accident supposed both had been killed by el ectricity, and the limp bodies were re moved to the city morgue. The boy was the first to recover his senses and he was almost frightened out of his wits to find himself lying on a marble slab with fifteen or more curiously-Inclined people gazing at wjiat they supposed was his dead body. Then it developed that neither fath er nor son had been struck by an electric bolt. The father also recovered consciousness and except a few bruises he was uninjured. The man and boy drove home in their battered rig, which a farmer headed off in the roadway and returned to the city. The Xoonday Of JAfe.

News of the T. P. A. Secretary Hasty reports new members every few days. Although the weather is hot the T. P. A.'s still grow. We are pleased to receive the application of our genial friend Lou IIiff. The boys are all glad to see Lou become a member of Post C. John Hegger has returned from Spiceland after a stay of two weeks and a half. He looks the picture of good health on his return, but he does a wonderful job of limping around from "biles." He most always seems to be worse off when he comes home from a vacation than when he started. To hear him tell it you would imagine it was the hardest job a man ever had in the wide wide world to take a little vacation. John says they are a good "bunch" over at Spiceland but it is understood that the citizens of that place and sanitarium are breathing easier since he left. We regret to learn of the illness of Fred Brown of the Richmond Candy company and hope that he will be his usual self soon. We are glad to see William Moore up at the rooms again and note his improved appearance. We hope he is on the high road to recovery and will soon be as well as ever. Elmer Lebo and family have been sojourning in Preble county for a week. Remember that if you have not paid your T. P. A. dues you have only a few more days to do it in. Pleavi do not neglect this matter for the T. P. A. is too good a thing to give up. We noticed our old friend Frank Trick of Logansport on the street a few days ago. He looks happy and reports everything prosperous. Lon Harlan, an old time traveling man, who has paced up and down the roads of this section of the country for time immemorable, and perhaps has sold more "reesons," prunes and roasted coffee than any other two men who ever packed a sample case, was in town last week telling everybody that he could see or hear about, that Climax coffee is just the thing. J. P. Evans has been taking Ol. Starr's trip on the road while he is laid up from his recent serious Injury. We are pleased to learn that Oliver is recovering rapidly. Our Secretary, Marcus Hasty, is putting on the blackboard in the secretaries room an itemized report each month of the financial condition of the Post. This is an excellent thing to do, as it acQuaints each member with just how the Posts affairs are being conducted. Every member should appreciate Mr. Hasty's efforts. John S. Griffin of Spiceland, president of the Richmond Baking company was in town this week. It seems to be the general belief that a large man is not dressed up unless he has egg on his shirt. Geo. Dilks weighs about 2T5 pounds, and is as handsome as a picture at that. It is Istated that he--was standing

1Z on the street a few days ago, when a traveling man whom George used to know, approached him, taking him In from head to foot, and seemed to be in doubt. He reached out his hand with the remark "Is this Geo. Dilks?" "Yes sir, replied George" "George Dilks from Richmond, Indiana?" "Yes sir," replied George, "you seem to be in doubt. What's the trouble? That's my name." "I know George' replied the traveling man, everything about you looked natural and good to me, and I was almost positive it was you, but I did not recognize you at first from the fact that you did not have any egg on your shirt front." We are pleased to enroll George Kemper, treasurer of the Richmond t urniture company as one of Post C.'s members. We hope to see him visit the rooms quite often. Good, whole souled, long legged Frank Palmer, of Warsaw was in our midst Sunday. Frank is certainly a good natured soul and the boys are all glad to see him come to town. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd of Cape Town, South Africa are visiting Mrs. Boyd's brother, Elmer Lebo. Mr. Boyd represents Park Davis & Co., of Detroit in South Africa. W. H. Q. OFFICIAL VISIT HAS SIGNIFICANT PURPOSE United States Fish Commissioner in New England. Washington, July 27 United States Fish Commissioner Bowers is making an official visit to Maine and Massachusetts with a special view to taking such action as will promote the continuance and increase of the lobster species in those waters. The danger of the lobster becoming extinct is so great that the fisheries bureau is taking steps to replenish the supply. As part of this plan, the bureau proposes to establish pounds in Massachusetts and Maine, in which 3oung lobsters can be raised. POLES LATEST WEAPON They Are Being Used in Warfare Against Consumption. New York, July 27 Telephone poles are the latest weapons with which the warfare against consumption is being waged. In Yonkers every pole now bears a little tin sign reading: "Consumption is caused by the poison present in the consumptives' spit. This poisonous spit dries and goes as dust into other people's lungs. Don't give disease to others by careless spitting. Don't let others give it to you by careless spitting.

ROCK-CRUSHING PUNT LARGESTJVER BUILT It Is Now Under Construction At Jersey City. OPENING FOUR TRACK CUT. Jersey City, July 27 What is said to be the largest rock-crushing plant ever constructed for the preparation of ballast is being erected in connection with the opening four-track cut through Bergen Hill in Jersey City for the Erie Railway Co. This cut is for freight and passenger traffic, but the old tunnel is not to be disturbed, and will be used for freight traffic.
