SUGGESTED THAT HE RUN FOR VICE PRESIDENT SO THAT THE INDIANA SITUATION MAY BE SOLVED.
A PARALLEL.
Recently a committee representing
a million farmers, as many laborers and all the important independent manufacturing interests of the nation appeared before Joseph G. Cannon,
speaker of the house, in regard to tariff revision. Cannon sent the commit
tee to Representative Tayne, chairman
of the Ways and Means committee,
which body has the first and last say
in regard to tariff revision. Mr
Payne informed ttie committee ot representative citizens of the United States that when lie wished advice he
would- apply for it. In other words
through this committee he practically insulted a large part of the people of
the United States by telling; them to mind their own business. Recently Secretary Haas of the Commercial club, invited the board of public works, supposedly consisting of representatives of the citizens of Richmond, to appear before the board of directors of the club and answer the charges preferred against the management of the municipal light plant. Instead of realizing that this offer from the Commercial club was extended simply as a courtesy, inasmuch as Mr. Witherby, the official of the Light. Heat & Tower company, who had appeared before the same body and given his reasons for stating that the citys plant was a
Washington, May 13. There has been no hitch in the program laid by the republican voters of the nation to see that William H. Taft, their choice for president, is nominated at Chicago. The. last week for the selection of del
egates opened so auspiciously for the secretary that the opposition is rapidly fading away. Already the movement
for the renomination of Hughes for governor has begun and he is eliminated from tho Presidential contest thereby. This means that the bulk, if not all, of the New York delegation will be for Taft The inability of Knox to hold the Pennsylvania delegation is but a further evidence of the vanishing strength of the allies. The leaders see the trend and appreciate the wisdom of preserving harmony in the party and of disposing of the opposition which is shown to be so futile. They all concede that the nomination of Taft. on the first ballot is assured, and they are of the opinion thai it would be much better that
he should be nominated by acclama
tion. To this end conferences have been called at both ends of tho capitol.
Among the loaders at these meetings are Senators Aldrich, Crane, Allison
and Hale, and Representatives Sher
man and Payne of New York, Tawney
of Minnesota, Jenkins of Wisconsin, Smith of Iowa, Parsons and Vreeland
of New York, Burke and Dalzell of Pennsylvania. Boutelle and Mann of Illinois, and Watson and Landis of In
diana. It will be seen that this group in
eludes the principal supporters of the
"favorite sons," to whom it is being
shown that their favorites are not in the running and that insistence upon
remaining in the race will mean mere
ly a long roll-call of the states, with a result of showing the weakness of the
allies.
It. is announced that these confer
ences have not, been without effect.
This does not mean that the supporters of Knox, Fairbanks, LaFollette, or Cannon have readily consented to the
withdrawal of their candidates, but on
being confronted by the figures there
is little ground for argument.
One of the suggestions is that Fair
banks be nominated for vice president
thus disposing at once of the Indiana situation. The failure to capture
Kentucky has been a nard blow to the Hoosier hon s. Since the final effort to drag President Roosevelt into the question has
been squelched by him, the opposition
has played the last card. The leaders feel that in a few days their efforts will have crystalized into something tangible. The first day of the concluding week for the selection of delegates, Saturday being the last day. showed that the expectation of the Taft people had not been overdrawn. Out of fourteen delegates selected in Massachusetts, Louisiana. Georgia and Michigan, fourteen are instructed for Taft, and the only contest is of the stereotyped Foraker variety in Georgia. In that section Foraker is simply contesting everything, and his efforts are not beinpc taken seriously. It is further conceded in Connecticut and that the Pacific coast will be solid for the secretary. Taft's assur
ed, vote passed the mark Monday, and each day assures heavy accessions to the ranks.

STEAMER BETWEEN DETROIT AND BUFFALO ON WHICH THE PALLADIUM PARTY WILL TRAVEL.
"Earth's grandest sight, conceived to be The emblem of God's Majesty." Among some of the attempts that have been made to describe Niagara Falls may be quoted the following: "Of all the sights on this earth of ours, which tourists travel to see, at least all of thoso which I have seen, I am inclined to give the palm to the Falls of Niagara. In the catalogue of such sights I intend to include all buildings, pictures, statues and wonders of art made by man's hands, and also all beauties of nature prepared by the Creator for the delight of all creatures. This is a long word, but as far as my taste and judgement go, it is justified. I know no other one thing so beautiful, bo glorious, so powerful. At Niagara there is the fall of water alone. But the fall is more graceful than Gioto's Tower, more noble than Apollo. The peaks of the Alps aro not so astounding in their solitude. Tho valleys of the Blue Mountains in Jamaica are less green. The finished glaze of life in Paris is less invariable; and the full tide of trade round the Bank of England is not so inexorably powerful. Anthony Trollope. The Palladium and Sun-Telegram's Niagara Falls and Canadian trip voting contest is developing into an exciting race and is attracting wide notice. Miss Ida Becson of Greensfork still maintains her lead but it is gradually being cut down by Miss Goldie Dadisman of this city. The other contestants are closely bunched and gaining votes daily. The regular ballots. will appear In each issue, entitling the lady voted for to one vote. Remember you can enter the contest any time you wish to, so "get busy and keep busy."

advantage of the same kindly offer that was later repeated to the board, Mr. Johnson, the "boss" of the board, rolitely informed Mr. Haas that if the directors of the Commercial club wished to see them in regard to the state of affairs at the municipal plant they were at liberty to do so by coming to the office of the board. In other words, just as Speaker Cannon lords it over the house of representatives, so does B. B. Johnson set himself up as czar of the board of public works. The parallel does not hold good in one instance. Cannon, as speaker, is clothed in. the robes of office as the highest officer In the house, does all his acts against the interests of the people openly. B. B.

ABOUT ADVERTISING NO. 6.
The Pass of Thermopylae
By Herbert Kaufman
Xerxes once led a million so' iers out of Persia in an effort to capture Greece, but his invasion failed utterly because a Spartan general had entrenched a hundred men in a narrow mountain pass which controlled the road into Lacedaemon. THE MAN WHO WAS FIRST ON THE GROUND HAD THE ADVANTAGE. Advertising is full of opportunities for men who are FIRST on the ground. There are hundreds of advertising passes waiting for some one to occupy them. The first man who realizes that his line will be helped by publicity has a TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY. He can gain an advantage over his competitors that they can never possess. Those who FOLLOW him must spend more money to EQUAL his returns. They must not only INVEST AS MUCH TO GET AS MUCH but they must as well spend an extra sum to COUNTERACT the influence that he has ALREADY ESTABLISHED in the community. Whatever men sell, whether it is actual merchandise or brain vibrations, can be MORE EASILY sold with the aid of advertising. Not one half of the businesses which SHOULD be exploited are appearing in the newspapers. TRADE GROWS AS REPUTATION GROWS AND ADVERTISING SPREADS REPUTATION. If you are engaged in a line which is waiting for a newspaper pioneer, realize what a wonderful chance you have of being the first of your kind to appeal directly to the public. You stand a better chance of leadership than those who have handicapped their strength by permitting you to GET ON THE GROUND before they could outstrip you. You gain a prestige that those who FOLLOW you must spend more money to COUNTERACT. If your particular business is SIMILAR to some other trade or business which has ALREADY been introduced to the reading public, it's up to you to start in RIGHT NOW and join your competitors in contesting for the attention of the community. The longer you DELAY the more you DECREASE your chances of SURVIVING. Every man who outstrips you is another OPPONENT who must be met and grappled with for THE RIGHT OF WAY. (Copyright, 190S.)

After his victory over Poms, Alexander consecrated to the sun an elephant that had fought for the Indian monarch audi gave it the name of Ajax. Then, having attached an inscription, h set it at liberty. The animal was found 350 years later, making Its age easily somewhere between three and four centuries.

Del ane's Note For News.
The announcement of the Second i Lord Lytton's appointment as viceroy of India at a time when the govern- j ment was keeping the matter a secret was one of the greatest feats of Ee- j lane. The story goes that the famous1 editor of the Times was sitting at din- j ner next to an equally famous physl- J cian, who happened to mention that Lord Lytton had consulted him that morning as to the fitness of his consti-
! tution to withstand the Indian climate.
Delr.ne wisely asked no quesions, but drew his inference from what he heard, and tbe next morning the ;
Times announced the appointment of Lord Lytton as viceroy of India. Whether true or not, the story points the moral that the doctor should take care not to let any fact, however trivial, learned from a patient who consults him escape his lips. Grand Magazine,
