County local option has assumed even greater proportions In Richmond and Wayne county since the late election than before that unhappy, as far as republicans are concerned event. This is due to the efforts of a local committee that is circulating a petition, having for its object the calling cf a special election in this county to decide whether or not we will remain "wet," or become "dry." As. to the merits of either contention that Wayne county retain or eliminate the saloon, the Palladium does not feel it to be within its scope to comment one way or the other editorially, but simply to give the news of both Bides of this question as it arises from day to day. Primarily, the question of whether one's vote is to go for a "dry" county or a "wet" county, should be settled as each individual voter's Intelligence dictates. la considering the county local option law, however, and especially as It Is at present administered, we believe It could be amended In such a manner as to work to better advantage and in a fairer spirit. Not that the Palladium for one minute backs down on the proposition that the county Is the proper unit, or that it considers the democratic proposition of the ward and township unit as anything but a step backward, as far as just and wise ternperance legislation is concerned. The Palladium does believe, however, that the present county local option law has at least one serious drawback and that It should be removed by an amendment. ' Instead of the present form of the law with the county as the sole unit, It would be much wiser and fairer If a dual form of county local option were provided. . Fairer in this re spect, that In counties such as Wayne with a city the size of Rlchmod, it would work to better advantage if, ua der the law, the city were allowed to rote separately from the rest of the county regarding the settlement of this question within its limits. To our minds it would be wise if the next general assembly would amend. the present county local option law in this wise; In all counties in which there is no city of 5,000 population or over as shown by the nearest census, let the present law apply; in all counties in which is located one, or more than one, city of 5,000 population or more, as shown by the nearest census, let the dual form apply and let any such city, or, if there is more than one, let all the cities in the county of the prescribed population, vote on the question separately from the rest of he county; and, finally, retain the Moore Remonstrance law in order that the majority of people living in any word or township in a "wet" county, may state whether or not saloons shall locate there. Iln every way the above proposed plan would be fair under conditions as they txist today. Just as the democratic plan of ward and township local option was a ste pof twenty-five years backwards, so was the republican plan of county local option as enacted into law by the general assembly in special session assembled last September, a step too far In advance along temperance lines, to do the most good under existing conditions regarding the majority of citizens understanding of such matters. Dual local option in a county end the retention of the present Moore Remonstrance law will work to far better advantage and will be the wisest and safest, besides being the fairest, compromise along temperance legislative lines, that the next general assembly could devise. SHOPPING. EARLY. All over the country the movement has been started for doing Christmas shopping early. This is indicative of the realization not only of consideration for other people, but of (it may be cynical to say) consideration for self. Many a man and woman has put off that luxury of the Christmas season buying gifts until the last minute on the night before Christmas and then wondered why it is that the gifts

which they had selected were all gone. They have wondered why they woke up on the next morning with a vexed and cross disposition; .why they had little pleasure out of the day; why it was that the things which they shipped by express were never delivered until weeks afterward and why (much more Important lntheir eyes) the box from home didn't get to their house at the time appointed. Now although people have known this for years, they have only commenced to think about putting their resolutions into practice. ' And as they are thinking the matter over the entirely selfish and material side of it begins to merge into memories of tired and hollow eyed clerks, of boys and girls who run the errands of the large stores out in all sorts of inclement weather and at all manner of late hours. They remember the hacking cough of a man who was on a delivery wagon in a cold and drizzling rain and the puff and heave of the sides of the tired horse dripping and lathering at the curb. They remember the sigh of the fagged express man and the clerks in stamp windows after the long day's work. And so it is that at this time of year when by right the whole world should relax a little from its selfishness and take heed of the affairs of other men that people have lost a little of the selfish worldilness of Cain. The time of the Christmas holidays is the time of all others when the reply of the simple Nazarene to the cross questionings of the man of affairs should come home to a world full of business. "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self." On this hang all the laws and the prophets.

What boots it to send gifts supposedly tokens of love and affection if those very packages are stained with the blood of child labor and the tears of worn and haggard women? Is that the way to celebrate the festival of the birth of the child whose mission on earth was to teach men the lesson of human charity? If that immortal novelist to whom we owe at Christmas time a debt of more than national gratitude, Charles Dickens, were alive his pen would have impaled the late shopper along with the Scrooges. With the gaiety, and jollity of the happiest season in the year, when we unbend a little, it is well to remem ber that the pleasure and duty of the season is not contained in the buying of gifts for a price; but that the elu sive essence of the thing is lost if every thing has not been done in the spirit of human fellowship. That means early Christmas shop ping and if the simple fomula of con sideratlon for others is followed out there will be more zest to being alive on Xmas day with the warming con sciousness in your heart that Christ mas is not altogether a matter of money. Buy your gifts early. For as some one has happily said: After all, the Christmas Creed is a reasonable one and keeps close to ev eryday facts. It is not the assertion that there Is no evil; but it is the as seruon that we may overcome evil with good. Good-will is not a bit of weak sentlmentalism; it is the force actively engaged in righting the wrongs it sees." THE EMMANUEL MOVEMENT. Almost everyone has heard of the Emmanuel Movement. Few have any definite conception of what it is nor what it accomplishes. The Emman uel Movement was instituted by the Reverend Elwood Worcester of Em manuel church, Boston, for the pur pose of alleviating pain and the treat ment of disease by what is the under lying force of all that is successful in Christian Science and other forms of 'mental healing.' This force treatment Is by no means new and has been known to physicians of all ages as psycho-therapy. Associated with Worcester is a man who has a thorough knowledge modern medical methods a practic ing physician. In this way much of the harm that has been associated with other mental healing movements have been avoided. The Civil war left us with a heritage of physical weakness all over the country. It is the result of the loss so many of our sturdiest youths in the war. It is a parallel in a less degre to the physical deterioration of France after the ravages made by the armies levied by the first Napoleon. In the United States this heritage has not only led to physical weakening of the average man, but it is a direct cause of the craze for insidious patent med icines, drug and drink habits, and various nervous disabilities. Coming on top of all this, modern business with its hurry, hustle and worry has magnified these evils not only business methods themselves but the centralization of vast bodies by by of men in cities and factories and offi ces. There are other causes of course. But the condition is so prevalent that we do not realize its full horror of nervous strain. Men give out before their time. Thousands are troubled with nervous prostration. It is to

these people that the Emmanuel Move

ment brings words of cheer and touch es what neither knife nor medicine can hope to touch, namely: mind and soul. It is in reality a message of hope. You, like many others will probab ly ask "What has a minister or a clergyman to do with treatment by suggestion?" It is only when we re flect on the teachings of Christ-that we see that they are all suggestions too. For In any relation with human beings it is suggestion which is most powerful. The fact is, that suggestion is too powerful a thing to be played with. Aid hence it is that it would better be left in the hands of trustworthy and capable persons such as physicians who know what they are doing when they use it' But no one can successfully contravert the great work of the Emmanuel movement and it is fitting indeed that the work of Dr. Worcester should be used in conjunction with medical practice. Any thing which discourages intem perance, which cures drug and patent medicine habits and which gives rest and peace of mind to men whose nerves are all a jangle is more than proper in enlarging the sphere of the usefulness 'of the church. THE GIFT TOWN. Just a few months ago Richmond held her Fall Opening and invited all her friends to come and see the things she had to show. The people who had never been here before, and indeed many who had lived here all their lives, were surprised at the tremendous stock of everything attractive contained within the four walls of Richmond merchants. What would those people say now that the holiday goods are laid in? There are or rather have been many people who have gone out of town to look for Christmas presents most of them have now concluded that there is no need for such a proceedure. For not only are the lines of local merchants far more complete, but the prices are quite as reasonable to say nothing of the added expense and trouble of traveling to other places. If any of our elcome visitors will come and look through the attractive stores where once the Fall Festival held forth, they too, will call Richmond the Gift Town. You will gain by buying your Christ mas presents in Richmond! A 70,000 ton oil tank belonging to the Standard Oil company and located at Bayonne, New Jersey, was totally destroyed in an explosion yesterday morning. News Item. Did John D. do it in order to prove that the oil business really was hazardous, as he recently testified? Council says the west side shall have no hose house this year. It might have added also that in view of this decision many sections of the west side will be unable, for lack of proper protection against fire, to obtain insurance to protect their homes. FORMER RESIDENT DIES ON ISLE Of PINES Dr. James M. Harris Has Relatives Here. Local relatives have received news of the death of Dr. James M. Harris, a former resident of this city. At the time of his death Dr. Harris was residing on the Isle of Pines. Death occurred November 19. The deceased was seventy-two years old. He was a son of the late Benjamin Harris, who resided in Fairview. Dr. Harris was the uncle of Attorney Benj. Harris, Mrs. M. F. Johnston and Dr. C. S. Bond, of this city. He studied medicine in this city under the late Dr. Kersey. He practiced medicine at Yellow Springs, Ohio. He was a veteran of the civil war and served in the same regiment as Joseph Betzold, former sergeant of the police force: Dr. Harris's wife died about one year ago. He has four Bons residing In the United States. This Is Worth Reading. Leo. F. i Zelinski, of 68 Gibson St., Buffalo, N. Y., says: ,"I cured the most annoying cold sore I ever had. with Bucklen's Arnica Salve. I applied this salve once a day for two days, when every trace of the sore was gone." Heals all sores.

Exceptions have been taken to the removal of the iron gratings over the gutters at the cross walks on a number of West Richmond streets. President Staubaugh of the board of public works has said the gratings were removed because they impeded the progress of the water in the gutters. The objections are made, because now it will be necessary to jump or splash through the water in the gutters following heavy rainfalls. On Kinsey street tie curbings are so high, that since the removal of the gratings, the step is so high that it is an inconrenlenoe, especially to womes.

To Discuss Natural Resources

Great Conservation Congress Tuesday and Will Serve Washington, D. C.. Conservation week will Dec. 5. j

be inaugur-ioa

ated with the meeting at the Belasco theater the afternoon of December 8. President Roosevelt, Judge Taft and scores of other strong men interested in the natural resouces of the United States will get together as the big end of the flying wedge that the president will launch at congress soon after It assembles. Information as to the natural resources of the country has been accumulated with a view to preparedness for the great meeting in the Belasco. Hundreds of Epeclal investigators in the several branches of the government service have been gathering data for months. Inventory of Resources. It is really an inventory of the natural resources of the nation., It is the first time that such an inventory has ever been made In this country. The meat of the whole investigation w?U be embodied in the report to the president. He in turn will tell congress what ought to be done about it. What congress will do, if anything, is a question of tho future. But the commission and its allies have put in a lot of hard work collecting facts. Consceneus of opinion, however, Is that something will have to be done to stop the waste of natural wealth. Governors of more than half the states of the union have appointed special commissions on the subject. Through these the country as a whole is pretty thoroughly keyed up m for action. The opening of the campaign will be in the Belasco theater. Mr. Taft will preside and introduce the president, who will speak. Conferences of tho governors of the states will follow and there will be also the meeting of twen ty-five or thirty chairmen of state con servtalon commissions and others who have been working in the conserva tlon field. The chairmen of the state commis sions will make their reports. These, together with the detailed reports of the f' rnments specialists, will be cond into the final report of tho chairman of the conservation commis sion to President Roosevelt. It will be on this report that the president will base his message to con. gress. Prominent Men Invited. This meeting will be a notable af fair. Not only will all the governors be present, but there will be guests of national prominence. James J. Hill, Andrew Carnegie and John Mitchell have already signified their intention of attending. W. J, Bryan has been invited, but has not yet said whether he could attend; chances are ho will not. The report of the conservation com mission . has been an immense work. Few reports of such magnitude has the government ever undertaken. It has been divided into heads, each un-i dcr an expert, and all the machinery of government has been turned on to sweep together data Some idea of Its scope can be given by its chief divisions. These are waters, lands, forests and minerals. Each section has been intrusted to a committee of twelve, all exports in the field to which they were assigned, itcea bmoot, w. J. McGee, Ovcrtoa Price, Knute Nelson and J. A. Holmes are some of the chairmen and secre taries of the section. They have had at their disposal all the machinery of the government, tho reclamation service, tho forest service, the land office, the geological survey, the department of egriculture and kindred bureaus and departments which could cither furnish facts already collected or had men to throw into tne neid and dig up the new tacts and figures. Other Meetings to Follow.

extent tney might. Waterways have been almost totally neglected. Instead of being developed as they might well be to the great arvantage of the section. That there is still a trace of the sectional prejudice between the South and tho North, though this is fast dying out, is believed, and it is hoped tha the present meeting of Southern and Northern business men will do much to efface this line of demarkatlon. Conservation week is looked forward to by its promoters as one of the most important epochs that the country has seen. ' It remains only for congress to takeaction on the mass of Important Information about the nation's resources that will be presented to it. Notable Men Interested.

I HAVE CURED WHERE OTHERS FAILED

My Experience in the Treatment of Chronic Diseases Has Been Extensive

and Varied. I Have Been in General Practice Since 1880, a U. S. Pension Examiner for a Number of Years, Health Officer and Member of Municipal Board of Health and President of County Medical Society.

I WILL GIVE YOU A COURSE OF TREATMENT

Without One Cent of Pay. All It Costs

Dropped In the Mail Box Brings You This Wonderful Free Course of Treatment Tomorrow. It is Truly Astonishing How Quickly and Surely This Remarkable Treatment Will Overcome Deep-Seated Kidney, Liver and Lung Trouble, and Other Dangerous Diseases Let Me Give You the .Proof Free.

My treatment is not a patent medi cine, or a cure-all. but It is a treatment that will be prescribed especially for your particular case after a careful diagnosis of your condition. True. It will contain oxygen to kill deadly germs that infest, your blood and tissues. Oxygen is the life of your blood. It gives vitality to the red blood corpuseles, and fills you with vim and vigor, but It is death to bacteria and disease germs. My treatment will contain artificial neVve force, which is the nearest approach to natural Jiving nerve force that ever has been discovered. It is truly marvelous how this artificial nerve force takes the place of the natural nerve force, and gives you won derful strength and power. My treat ment will also contain special remedies carefully prescribed to suit your particular condition. I also use marvelous Psy-Psy Force which I believe is the most wonderful healing power known to man. This mighty, unseen force of sucli tremen dous potency is a Divine gift within the reach of all, and In years past people who accidentally stumbled on it and employed it were regarded as privileged by the Creator, and their power was considered supernatural. because it could not be explained, and yet this power, mighty as it is, is ab solutely Harmless, incapable or pro ducing injury; a sleeping giant that requires but little effort to make it your slave. The fabled Genii of Alad din s wonderful lamp possessed a power which I believe was scarcely greater than that which 1 can reveal to you. Doctors in great universities of France and Germany have taken up the study of this mysterious force. Philosophers and metaphysicians have been compelled to 'admit that they cannot fathom its secrets. You may attribute it to rehabiliation of nerve force, re-establishment of vital magnetic energy, physic poweror what you will the fact remains that patients' in utter despair have claimed that they have been restored to health by this wonderful treatment when all other things failed. Mrs. N. W. Bowden, of New Bern, N. C, says: "One year ago I was in j i nit rl a . 1 J a dying condition. Three doctors had given me up. to die. I tried Force of Life, and today I am a well woman. I thank God for the day that treatment was sent to me." Here is also a letter from Mrs. Hannah Peters, of Harrisburg, Penn. You may read it for yourself Mrs. Peters Says: "I thank our Heavenly Father for guiding me to you, and for the good health you have restored to me. I would have been In my grave had it not been for you. Your treatment has certainly cured me completely." Then take the case of Mr. Hyatt. Here was a man who had gone from doctor to doctor; finally he decided to try Force of Life. 609 MAIN STREET ED. A.

A Letter United States Commissioner Ridgeway, who spent over three months in vestigating Force of Life treatment, says in regard to Mr. Hyatt that his case showed an instance of remarkable recovery "Raised, as it were, from the grave." In my varied experience in treat ing chronic cases I have had every opportunity to study various methods and kinds of treatment, and I can honestly and conscientiously tell you that I have never seen many treat ments which I believe compares with the treatment which I am in position to offer you. I know this is a strong statement, but I do not feel that It Is one word stronger than the absolute truth.

I do not ask you to send me, one cent of money; merely wrlto me, giving your name and address, and stating the leading symptoms of your trouble, and your case will be diagnosed and I will prescribe for you a special course of treatment.

This offer is good only to the first 1,000 persons who write me.

No matter what your disease; no matter what treatment you have tried. I want you to write to me. If I think that I cannot cure you, I will frankly tell you so, but do not hesitate berun so voiir r&HA has iwn nrnnounced incurable. I hold in my hand a bundle of letters from people who say they, have been restored to health by my treatment after doctors had given them up to die. If you wish to try" my free course of treatment I advise you to sit down and write me today. If you don't wish 4t. ar 4tAettnnnr tmt a m A A n to try my treatment, write me anyway and I will send you a thorough diagnosis of your case and explain to you in detail just what I think this treatment should do for you. I will also give you full information In regard to marvelous Psy-Psy Force, or if you wish I will send you a course of treatment absolutely free, and let you take it under the direction of your own family physician, so that there may be absolutely no doubt as to the exact cause of the astonishing results which I feel positive It will produce.
