"Get together!" is the slogan now. Cooperate! The Fall Festival Is the product of cooperation. We have had merchants' associations and what not, and while their purpose was good and the re sults were commendable. It Is only to bo candid to say that tLte affairs were In one line, or for the advancement of a single Interest And the re sults were not great It remained until the present time for all the people of Richmond to see that they could do nothing Individually. They saw that they must cooper ate. And so. it is, every one has but one idea and that Is to advertise the town.' By uniting In pushing Richmond forward by mutual association the en tire community is benefited. By bringing people here to see what a beautiful town Richmond is; to see what great Industries we have here; to see what mercantile enterprises we have; the business men of the town are not the only beneficiaries. , If the farmer comes to a realization of the fact that he can more profitably trade here than elsewhere the gain is cot alone that of the merchant It is to the interest of the farmer. " And the town grows. If more industries are started by the realization that Richmond Is a good place for factories (as our prosperous manufactories bear witness), the gain Is not alone that ' of the narticnlar Individ. ttals. It also means that more monev will be earned and more' money will jbe spent In this community. It means

that the price of real estate will be

stimulated, it means the erection of more houses and factories which will furnish work for our carpenters and like laborers. The general prosperity of our wage workers will In turn enable them to patronize our merchants and the merchants will in turn be ena bled to carry larger stocks of goods and to sell at a lower rate of profit which benefits not only the citizens of Richmond but the farmers ' In the country around. And there you are! No one can afford to be self centered any longer. The common good Is the common gain. The old policy of every one for himself and devil take the hind most, is mistaken logic and business suicide. The theory of association is a recognized force in political economy, call it cooperation or "get together" or what you will it works. The Indian legend of the bundle of twigs any one of which, individually was breakable, but unbreakable when joined together, is as true today as It ever was. Cooperate. The spirit of cooperation is what the Fall Festival will arouse. All 'Should cooperate In making Richmond bigger and better than ever. That is the idea of the Fall Festival in Richmond on Oct 6, 7, 8. "I DON'T CARE. St Louis, Mo., Oct 2 Instead ot marrying the woman he loves, William Clubb, formerly of Howard county. In diana, now of Festus, Mo., must re turn to the Reformatory at Jefferson ville, Ind., to serve an Indeterminate term ranging from two to fourteen years, because he violated his parole in two minor details. His omissions were reported to the state authorities by an unsuccessful rival. Clubb pass ed through St Louis today en route to Jeffersonville in the custody of Pa role Ofilcer'Roy Campbell. "Every thing is lost," Clubb said in deep dejection. "The girl I love Is torn from me. When I get out again I don't care what becomes of me." What is the purpose of , the parole system now in force in this state? Is it not to help the man who has once broken the law and been a model pris oner to regain his position in the world and become a good citizen? Is that it? If it is not the parole sys tem Is a menace to society. If It is, the technical operation of the parole system defeats Its own object Look at this case In the news dis patch. '. As far as one can judge at this dis tance, this man Clubb had done his time In a satisfactory manner. He reformed and led a model life after he got out He wanted to settle down and be decent he wanted to escape from the stigma which attaches Itself to the lock-step and prison pallor. And he was about to get married and be gin again. A jealous rival denounces him and back he goes, torn from his sweet heart Gone are all ideas of reforma tion gone all respect for the Justice of law gone all hope. "When I get out again, I don't care what becomes of me" Is that the end which our reform atory measures accomplish? Here Is a story lost in the col umns of a newspaper a story as romantic as that which Victor Hugo treated of in his "Jean Valjean," or Dumas in his "Count of Monte Christo. It is too significant to pass over. It is to be hoped that public senti ment will be brought to bear to straighten the matter out It Is a fit case for the clemency of the state, If Indiana wants to make criminals she only needs to have a few men come out from our reformatories saying to themselves: "Justice is not justice. The world is against me the world owes me nothing and I don't owe it anything either. I am out I don't care what becomes of me." CONGRATULATIONS. The Palladium congratulates the Fall Festival Association and all who have expended their time, money and thought on the affair. The Fall Festival is not over you say? No. But the splendid efforts of the public spirited men of Rich mond is going to make It a success. which nothing short of a volcanic eruption or an earthquake can pre vent This is due to the foresight and the well laid plans of those interested; plans laid on the sure foundation of cooperation for the public good, which Is in the end the surest personal prof it The Palladium especially calls attention to the way men, both of diverse and competitive Interests, have laid aside all thought of "what will I get out of it?" and have "gotten together." It Is the only way to get the results which everybody hopes from this enterprise. Modern business Is often accused of being without regard for the proved that the men of Richmond realize that the more business there is in the town, the better for producer, proprietor and consumer. This is the secret of the Fall Festival

success, and the Palladium believes it should be fostered and comended.

To the casual observer, the decora tions on Main street are the only tangible signs of the Fall Festival The public may rest assured that all the plans of the Fall Festival are well matured and flourishing. The decora ting committee has done well the rest will come up to this high standard. But as we said before, the most en couraging thing is the way every one is working in unison for Richmond, with a single purpose. That is the secret of lis success and therefore "Congratulations." TAFT AND LABOR. Taft has had some things to say on the labor question which should be read and carefully considered by every friend of labor, organized and unorganized. "The labor men o?sht to look at the record and see which party has done things In their behalf. If legislative records be examined, not a line in the Federal statute books will be found that was put there by the Democratic party. Not a line was put there by Mr. Bryan, when he was twice a member of Congress In Grover Cleveland's administration nor did. he attempt to have any passed!" It is the old story of promise and talk! But Taft has a better record. He was a judge on the bench, and his record was one of extreme fearlessness and fairness. He is still fair and still fearless. This is what he says: "I decided the cases that came before me as the law and evidence required, and I am not making apology for a single decision. In them I laid down the principles defining the rights of labor. I said that they had a right, to organize; that they had a right to elect officers;' that they had a right to accumulate funds by which they might strike; that no injunction could issue to prevent their striking, but that they might not injure the property of their employer and that they might not institute a secondary boycott." These very decisions are now relied on by organized labor to maintain their rights In court. NEW BLOOD. This movement for the Fall Festival and Greater Richmond has brought the young men of the town Into the ore. New blood, new Ideas, and a new Interest. In other days the young man entered a business and was galvanized. Galvanized by the traditions of tha firm; galvanized by conservatism, and sometimes galvanized by pessimism. His individuality was galvanized. The day of galvanization has passed here. The young men have caught the spirit of progress. It is infectious the town has caught the germ in turn. Individuality is needed stimulation is necessary and the function of the young man in business is to supply just these two attributes. Any employer who falls to recognize the value of these two things is not getting his money's worth. The young ideas may not always be practical, but neither are the old ones. Ideas fresh ones, are worth money. The Fall Festival movement has proved that the young man is a force to be reckoned with. It has given stimulation, individuality and new blood to the town. And to the young business man it has given enthusiasm and a common interest. The young lawyer, the young clerk, the young man In any business pursuit, all have a common bond the Richmond Fall Festival. TAFT AND LABOR. Here we have fact and not fancy. Here we have something actually ac complished instead of promises. Which do you take the most Btock in, a man who does things or a man who promises? Bryan had no though of labor before he became a candidate did he in Con gress? Taft when he had no though of can didacy for the presidency, was laying the foundation for the establishment and preservation of the rights of the American workman. Look at the records.' The workingman has enough in telligence to distinguish between talk and deeds.THE WHITE PLAGUE. The Tuberculosis Congress in Wash ington will have attained a sufficient end if it brings to the notice of the citizens of the United States two facts that tuberculosis kills more people than any other one disease and that tuberculosis (as a lung disease) is curable if taken at once. It Is not our purpose to act as a physician, but it Is well to bring to the notice of the public the fact that such simple treatment as outdoor living, proper food and modern medical treatment will, the disease Is fought from the start save a life. It is equally necessary to point out that cleanliness, anti-spitting lagiala-

tion, Improved housing and nourlshmen will check the disease. ' The white plague carries off our friends, our neighbors and our family and yet we take no notice. It kills more people than all the dreaded plagues. What if smallpox, or cholera, or yellow fever did it? Would we not wake up! And yet the treatment of tuberculosis is within the reach of all. What are you going to do.

E LOOKS VERY PERT Never Has She Been Dressed Up as at the Present Time. DECORATIONS BEAUTIFUL. SHOP WINDOWS ARE A DREAM OF BEAUTY, MERCHANTS RESPONDING TO THE FALL FESTIVAL SPIRIT. Never has old Dame Richmond, who is one of the grand old ladles of the state, looked so pert and dressed up as she now does. Glad rags become her now as they did when she was young and giddy if it can be said f-at a Quaker lady is ever giddy. ' Gee, whiz, just look at the old town," was the admiring exclamation of a farmer as he entered the city yesterday with his garden truck. He referred to the beautiful scene Main street presents. From Third street to Twelfth on Main, an arc light surmounts each trolley pole. On the wires supporting the trolley wires yellow and white pennants and American flags toss to and fro, while at each street corner strings of incandescent lights, two hundred lights to a string, criss-cross. Triangular signs are attached to each trolley pole and these are drapped with yellow and white bunting. The incandescent light strings on each street corner are donated by the Richmond Light, Heat and Power Company. This concern put them up and also furnishes the current. The arc lights on the tops of the trolley poles were placed there by the city, and the current for them is supplied by the municipal plant The show windows on Main street will be dreams of beauty. Prizes have been offered for the most unique window display. These windows will be judged Tuesday morning. Nearly all the merchants will delay making their decorations until Monday for fear that some more zealous may appropriate some good Idea or color scheme. However, some of the merchants have already made their window decorations, and they are all of unusual attractiveness. The Allen Furniture Co., has a doll display that has attracted great attention. Merchants will also compete for the prizes offered for the best decorated interior and the best exterior decorations for buildings. Firemen at the city building have decorated the big stone structure in a most beautiful manner. Several of the stores will build archways over the sidewalk. In In rear of the Feltman shoe store is a beautiful sample of the decorator's art, entitled "The Death of Cock Robbin."
