PRIVATE CITIZENS NO MORE, NO LESS. The Palladium's contention that It was the private citizen and not the prosecuting attorney that was being passed upon at the coming primary to decide the people's choice between JesMip. Campbell and Yencer, ha.s met with the hearty approval of many of our citizens who had not. looked at the question in that light before. As one man said about it yesterday, "if it is true that. Jessup deserves first consideration from the voters of "Wayne county because he has been a law enforcing prosecutor, why should not the other fellows be lined up on account of their nrofessional duties'; Why not hay that Campbell deserves the vote of all Christians in the. county because he is a minister, and that Yencer deserves the vote of all people who believe in good health, because he is a doctor?"' Of course, that is a little far fetched, but it only goes to show the feeling of resentment that haa been aroused by the claim that Jessup should be considered to the exclusion of all other candidates, because his defeat would mean that a law-enforcing prosecuting attorney was not desired by this county. That argument will not hold water for, as we have stated before, the question as to whether Wayne county wants a law enforcing prosecutor or not, wis settled over a year ago when Jessup was re-elected. Jessup has always been a law-enforcing prosecutor. The lawless element had found this out before the end of his first term in office. When he was renominated and re-elected, therefore, it proved that the good citizenship of Wayne county placed the seal of approval on his Intrepretatlou of the duties of prosecutor. Hut to seek to make the issue at the coming primary one in regard to the prosecutor's office is unfair to the other candidates, both of whom are also estimable men. Dr. Yencer has served our county in the state legislature, and were there any reason why he should not aspire to serve our district. In congress it would have come out long ago. Mr. Campbell has never served us politically in any way, but he is showing an aptness j for things political that would be a j credit to one much more versed in such affairs than ho is. Any one of the three j candidates, Jessup, Campbell or Yen cer, as private citizens, are entitled to the consideration of every republican voter at the coming primary. They are all clean and upright men and well qualified for the position they seek. It is, however, a question to be decided by the republicans of the county as to which one of these men they consider most acceptable to support. In this selection the Palladium, being the republican organ, has no choice. But after primary, which ever one of these men has been selected by Wayne county republicans will receive our undivided and loyal support.. Nor will we rest with working for Wayne county's candidate through the Palladium alone, but will get out and rustle just as much as the next one, to help land the nomination for our county's candidate at the district convention. DO YOUR DUTY. Every republican should show his patriotism Monday by going to the polls and voting for his choice among trm various candidates to make up the republican ticket for the coming election. It is as much a patriotic duty to vote at a primary as it is to offer one's services in time of war. In fact, it is even more so iu some respects. The selection of the ticket is a very important affair. The men who compose it should be in every respect representative men and good citizens. They should he men who can appeal to the solid republican vote; men who by their qualities can do their share toward carrying the party to victory. You, as a voter, should do your share toward seeins that none but such men obtain a place on the republican ticket. When you do this you help and strengthen the ticket that later on you must again support, against the onslaughs of the democratic candidates. Make it your duty Monday to go to the polls and vote for the various candidates for j nomination whom you believe best! suited to make up our ticket. Vote lor j the nun whom you know will lend j strength to the Ticket by their good ! citizenship qualities. Help to get other ! republican voters to go to the poll.. Do j your shave toward governing this great I country by takiag an active interest j the selection of nominees. If you; no that, none but the riht sort can : get a place on the ticket, and that makes a republican victory all the more secure and all the more desirable for clean, upright men are the kind we want in public office. But it's up to you. Mr. Voter, to help get those Mnd oa tho ticket

STORIES FROM THE NATIONAL CAPITAL From The Pafladiurm's Special Correspondent, Ralph M. Whiteside

Quite a number of house and senate members have beta busy this session with attempts to revise the federal criminal code. Incidental to this movement a great amount of buncombe has been worked off. Very nearly everything would be criminal if all the measures proposed "were adopted as laws. Most of the measures had small chance of adoption, but they gave the members an opportunity to make speeches, which, of course, were reported "back home" and looked good in the home papers. No little concern has been manifest ed over measures to shorten the law's prohibition against senators and representatives engaging in business while they have official duties to attend. Some of the members wanted the law made so strict that a man in the house or senate could not sell a piece of property which he owned before being sent to congress, Jt remained for Representative Nor-

WASHINGTON AND HER LAWMAKERS IN Interesting Incidents In the Routine of Dally Life at the

BY MRS. JOHN A. LOGAN. Washington, Feb. 9. Time is so fleeting that one is amazed that congress has been so long in session and still but little has been done that should have characterized its deliberations. Thus far almost all the legislation ' ... has been in the interest of localities. or private bills for the relief of individuals. The momentous questions upon which so much depends have not been advanced as rapidly as as they should have been, and when one considers that politics and the approaching Presidential campaign are destined to be upermost in the minds of every member of the House and Senate, one naturally wonders whether grave questions will receive or tin 1101 i attention which they demand. It is probable that the old, old method of "postponing until the next Congress" is being resorted to, as the elections which decided the fate of the f iha T7itd Stat and ! many of the members of the House and Senate, will be decided before , December next, thereby relieving the j present members of the responsibility of disposing of the vital interests involved in the question of Tariff. Cur-j rency, Interstate Commerce, Ship- j building, Merchant Marine, and many! others "that should not be very much : longer deferred. One ambitious Congressman has suggested that they begin te sessions at nine o'clock in the morning. It goes without saying that he is a new member, otherwise he would have known that from that hour in the morning until noon, Congress is busy , in the Committee rooms of botn Houses, where the greatest amount . of work is done. It is here that all i bills arc discussed and prepared for j the action of the two Houses. Cer-j tninlv nnthinsr could ever be accom-. plished without this preliminary work j

"Well, I didnt know one man has been doing all the talking since we eame,' she said. "Why," said her well-informed com- ; panion, "it sometimes requires the united efforts of three or four men in

A FEW

Why John C. King, of Centerville, Should be Nominated by the Republicans for County Recorder Next Monday.

To the Republican Voters of Wayne County : Owing to the fact that the Repub'.ienn noininaUtm election is near at ham!, 1 deemed it advisable to say a fw word? previous to that important even; to tell the voters of the county the reason why am . utitled to the oftie ;u this t!u: In th- first place I am getting along in years, pnd over sine ? Lave be n a voter 1 have been a Republican for principle sake. At the last nominating election I was a candidate for tho ofiieo of Recorder of Waj r.e County, the same office 1 am and ring to now. 1 made a hard fight for the office br. : sintered defeat. I to.jk ley defeat, philosophically, end marie up my mind then to be a candidate again, and told a good many of my friends so k- Tee time-. Having been born and raised in this county, and always a loyal Republican, and having made the race before unsuccessfully, and now being advanced in years, I leave my case to the Republican voters to decide next Monday. If I am defi.T.ted then, I will never make the race again, but will remain loyal to the party, and he Just as much interested in the welfare of Republicanism as I have been all my life. JOHN C. KING.

his, of Nebraska, to offer the clincher and end the epidemic of amendment resolutions, he offered the following:

"ah amendment to provide that if . any member of congress shall practice; j law, or own bank stock, or bo inter- j ested in any business, or lecture from J the Chautauqua or other platform for j money, or maintain any relation with J business affairs, or perform any service for which he shall receive any compensation, he shall be, upon conviction thereof, hanged by the neck until he is dead." Representative Bell, of eGorgia. who has been much interested in the cft'orls of Mr. Williams to harmonize the house, has a quaint way of sizing up the feud, which is renewed every time; the Democrats in the house have any honor to bestow. "The situation reminds me of a "ethodist minister down home." he said. "Charges had been preferred against him by one of his lloclc. After the charges had been read, the minister said: 'This man ain't mad about speaking for a bill to secure its adop- J tion." All of which goes to show that inexperience s;ometimes hits the mark. Reverting to the work in the committee rooms, the constituents of every single member of the House and Senate make innumerable demands which must be submitted to the President snmo tinm tn lnv (Iickh various inat- - ' tei 5 ijyiuiu nits cinei f.muvc. There is no other time when thoy could do this except in the morning; therefore it may well be said that the most effeective work performed by any member is done before the meeting of the two Houses at high noon. Congress must not be criticized for not giving time enough to duty, but if there must be criticism it should be for lack of decisiveness and boldness of action. It is claimed that timidity has for a long time characterized the actions of the members of the house and senate. I can remember when no sucli charge was ever made and it does seem that the legislators of other days were more outspoken in defense of their convictions of right and wrong in matters of legislation than are legislators () the PBent day It is to be hoped that the addition of the two gentlemen from Manila, Hon. Beniti Legarda and Hon. Pablo Ocambo de Leon, will be able to bring some valuable information to congress for guidance in legislation for the Philippine Islands. From sketches received of them, it would seem that they are men of ex perience and intelligence and should be able to make valuable suggestions as to what would advance tip, interests of the people of these islands. i Washington has become an expensive place to live in of late. Hotel proprietors, boarding house keepers and real estate owners want part of the increase from $5,000 to $7,500 pen year in the pay of congressmen. j "I wish I could find a reasonable; place to live in," is an expression f re-' onenflv heard nhrmt tlif Vhuisp and ! senate. It is not really the increase i i, . v. .. . . . . .. c i . 11 . : . . est and perhaps now one of the wealthiest men in the senate, said the other day that while he had a desire to spend money, he perferred to loosen e's purse strings to others than hotel t roprietors. Senator Stephenson has been stopping at one of the most expensive hostelries in the city and he is now seeking another place for himself and family. "I've got to do this if I want to have something to do with the disposing of what money I have left," he said. "Bo-

what he says he's made about; lio"s. mad about something ehe than v. hat he says lie's mad about." "

A story ia going the rounds of a pe- j culiar mix-up in senatorial names I during the tour of spellbind is on the j Roosevelt special in In North j Dakota, Senator McCumber was called upon to introduce the speakers. Ikdid not once pronounce Governor Guild's name as it should be pronounced. He called him "Gild.' "Guwild"' and various other names Governor Guild became rather warm under the collar. He did not like to speak to Senator McCumber: nor rhd he enjoy the prospect of his name being mispronounced throughout the state. One day Senator McCumber made a particularly bad break and Governor Guild returned to the car in a rage. President Roosevelt asked him what was the matter. "Oh, it's that man Senator Cucumber."' he saiii. "He ulv.ays pets my name wrong."

If I'm to do this, however, I'll have to look out. for my board bills while in Washington." Just Smiles MAN'S MODESTY. Men are more modest than women in public. A man would be much more disconcerted to find his stockings curling over his boot when he is endeavoring to be agreeable in a parlor than a woman would if some such accident befell her. What normal man would be brave enough to attend a dinner party with bare shoulders and a lownecked shirt? Boston Herald. HAIR. One of the curious things about most jeople is that they would rather have a lot of hair with which to cover uoth ing than to have something worth while with no hair to comb over it. Chicago Record-Herald. MEDICAL. "A man who isn't his own physician at 40," says Mr. Thirty, of New York, "is either a fool or a corpse." Possibly; but often the man who acts as his own doctor has a fool for a patient and furnishes an undertaker with a corpse. Washington Post. JURY QUALIFICATION. Lawyer Do you real the newspapers?

"I have the honor to report,"' said the assistant surgeon, "that the enemy is approaching." "Signal them to take an anaesthetic all around,' 'thundered the doctor, "for the operation is about to begin." Ordering the nurses to set their caps on straight, he awaited the onset. -Philadelphia Public Ledger. EDISON OFFERS ENCOURAGEMENT. Mr. Edison takes a deep interest in young men and offers them much encouragement. "Today is youth's zenith in this great, country," is the way he cheers them on. "The United States is starving for $10,000 men. Corporations are actually clamoring for then: and the younger the better. But the man today must be technically educated. Modern industrial, financial and commercial conditions are more complicated than ever before and it takes a trained mind and a level head to get, to the front. "The demand for educated nun. chaps that have brains, exceeds anything that I have ever known. They are doing the work, too; that's whymore are wanted. So now is the time for the man who is KOing to make something of himself to get. busy. If he if any good he won't be out of a job long; not much. There is entirely too much work and too few of the right kind of persons to do it. "If you don't believe it, take a pee pnito the gigantic plant of a concern like the Bethlehem Steel company. Ys sir, w eare starving for brains or $10,000 men. if that way of putting it appeals more strong ly to tee your..; Antericpt! instinct." TO THE VOTERS OF WAYNE TOWNSHIP: I wish to say to my friends that on account of sickness, I have not been able to make the canvass this week that I had hoped to do, but shall appreciate any effort made in my bei half, in my race for Assessor of ! Wayne township. it JOSIAH T. ELLIOTT.
