IS AN IMPORTANT FIGURE.
CONCERNING GENTLEMEN.
Th TlAVArend Elbert Russell Of
Earlham college Is quoted as saying before the students of that Institution that
"No man who Is a gentleman will smoke In the presence of others," and
that "no woman of ordinary self reaped will welcome the company of those who use tobacco," What a depreciation In gentility and lX-respect In our community! Mr. Russell might have confined himself to saying that tobacco smoke Is obnoxious to some people and that he la one of them. He anight have added that good manners and good breeding do display themselves in the use of tobacco. It has long been recognized that gentlemen do not smoke In the presence of those who object to it If anyone doubts it he has only to read the signs hung in many waiting rooms at railway stations. "Men are requested not to smoke; gentlemen will not!" Why this talk of gentility of smokers and "ordinary self respect" of women who allow smoking in their TicinageJ It strikes the ordinary person as being a trifle cheap. As to the use of tobacco, that frayed and ragged subject has been torn to pieces only to be dug up again when there is nothing else to talk about. The question of gentility Is not dependent upon it As well drag In the tea and coffee users. It is true that
gentlemen are not in the habit of throwing the dregs of their cups into
the faces of the other diners. But
what has that to do with coffee?
Those of the description known as
'unco guid" often overdo themselves In their abuse of their fellows.
Mr. Russell acted within his province in giving the youths under his vicarage lessons in common every day
manners,, but he rather exceeded him
self In calling into question the gentility of those who smoke and the or
dlnary decency of women who do not
mind smoke.
In looking over Herndon's "Life of
Lincoln" the other day, the writer
came across one of the favorite stories
of Lincoln. A Kentucky Colonel of
the gentlest and bluest blood had sue
cessiveiy onerea a young man in a
stage coach a chew of tobacco, a good Havana, and a little French brandy
to while away the long, cold and. fa
tiguing journey. The young man refused all. At the conclusion of the trip the colonel alighted and said, "Young man, I am charmed to have met you; I may never meet you again.
I hope I will not offend you In any
way, for I intend hoi criticism, suh,
But in my long and varied experience I must confess that the men I have
known with no vices had few virtues,
suh." .. ' :' " ' " '
That is an exaggeration, however,
but so are Mr. Russell's assertions.
Washington, Xov. 12. Former Lieutenant Governor Timothy L. Woodruff of New York, saw the President Wednesday. Later in the afternoon be was closeted with James S. Sherman, vice president-elect, and William L. Ward, National Committeeman from New York. Mr. Woodruff is the one factor in New York Republican politics who must be reckoned with in order to clarify the senatorial situation and make sure the election of Secretary Root as the successor of Thomas Collier Piatt.
Mr. Woodruff returned to New York
in anything but good humor and leaving an unsatisfactory impression behind him. Some of the people who
talked with him said he was sore and
could not conceal that fact. There is no doubt that it lies with
in the power of Mr. Woodruff to create a very embarrassing situation if he chooses to do so. He alone can make
it possible to elect a Senator without a conflict that may be more or less
protracted. If he withdraws, others who have a like ambition, it is said,
may easily be induced to do the same, If Woodruff remains "huffy" and in
sists upon fighting for the place which
he has had his eyes set lor many years, there probably will be a general
scramble for the office. But no such
contingency is anticipated by the wise
ones.
ASKED FOR
AERIAL
Part of Estimate of War De
partment Expenses.
Washington, Nov. 12. Secretary
Wright has forwarded to the secre
tary of the treasury the detailed estimates for the war department for the
next fiscal year.
The total amount was withheld, but
it is known to be slightly smaller than
the estimates for tha present year,
though considerably in excess of the
appropriation for this year.
For the purchase of aerial machines either dirigible balloons or aeroplanes 300,000 is asked. This appropriation.
If made, it Is expected, will prove a
strong incentive to inventors.

THIS YEAR'S DROUGHT
NEVER EQUALED
Dry Period of 1908 of Unus
ual Length.
Indianapolis, Ind.; Nov. 12. With.
out a parallel in the history of the Weather Bureau is the recent drought in Indiana, according to the report for the month of October just Issued by
W. T. Blythe, section director. "There
probably was never another drought period," states the report, "of equal length, intesity and extent experienc
ed in tnis state; certainty none our
ing the period covered by the records
of the Weather Bureau, which extend
back to 1871. The nearest approach'
es to it were in 1893, 1897 and 1901
Period of the Drought.
The period of the drought this year
was from Aug, 14 to Sept. 27. inclu
sive, a, period of forty-five days. June was deficient in precipitation.
Through July the precipitation was
about normal; also the first part of
August. "From Sept. 28, on which
date," says the report, "the long sum'
mer drought was relieved by general
rains, up to and including Oct. 31
there were only two stations in the state at which precipitation in excess
of one inch occurred. One of these
stations was Anderson, with a total
rainfall of 1.09 Inches and the other Hammond, with a total of 1.46 inches
during the thirty-four days. Up to this
date, Nov. 9, the drought continues.
Although the month was intensely
dry, October, 1908, as a whole was pleasant, with nearly the normal mean temperature,' about the average wind
movement and a moderate excess of
sunshine. The average rainfall, .34
inch, wa3 the least since and including
1887. Other dry months were October
1892, with an average of .87 inch
1895, with an average of .73 inch, and 1897, with an average of .9 inch. As
a rule tne . general precipitation lor
October exceeds two inches and dur
ing the past twenty-one years it has
exceeded three inches six times and
has been greater than four inches
twice, in 1898 and 1905."
