Senator Tillman's arguments delivered in the senate in reply to President Roosevelt's attack would have been more convincing if he had devoted more time to the defense of himself and not bo much to the defense of the senate and to the ahuse of the president. Tillman, not the senate, was under fire at this particular time. The senator from South Carolina could well have centered his attention upon the task of clearing up that Western land deal scandal. Instead he lost precious and useless time in declaring that Roosevelt "lives in a glass house with a glass floor" and reeling off yards more of such rubbish. The people have heard that before. This is not the first time that Mr. Tillman has used vituberation. The trick has ceased to have novelty. The last few days the people have been informed that Tillman is a grafter. What they expected Monday was an exoneration of himself. Instead he gave them mere words and , then retiring behind the barrier of his long career, declared that since he bad conducted himself honorably for sixtyone years he could not possibly go wrtng In public life now. Well, we have heard of cases which tend to disprove the senator's theory, We prefer facts about that Oregon land deal to any theory of the man accused. If the senator has the facts which will exonerate himself, he had better give' them an airing and be In haste about it. Otherwise that promised vaudeville stunt of making President Roosevelt sit up and look at himself may never come, off. Instead we may have substituted the rare spectacle of the 'Pitchfork" senator sitting up, looking at himself and not recognizing the likeness. Theodore Roosevelt is not the man to waste words. He has made mistakes but he has also risen above them. In this instance his charges seem to be borne out , by the weakness of the South Carolina man's defense. If this is true it is safe to say that the president will take full advantage of his op; ' tunity KNIGHTS WILL HM CEREMONY This Evening Centerville K. of P. Will Install Officers. Centerville.

Every Voter In Cast

Washington, Jan. 13. A curious and interesting fact is disclosed by an analysis of the returns of the recent presidential election. It is that one county of the United States Zapata county, Texas cast its vote unanimously for the electors of William H. Taft, the republican candidate. This fact was stated "recently to Franklin K. Lane, one of the interstate commerce commissioners and he investigated the matter. . In substantiation of the statement he is in receipt of a certificate of XV It. Davis, secretary of state of Texas The certificate duly signed and officialHOTCHKISS CAPTAIN Earlham Basketball Team Confers Honor on Star Forward of the Five. HE IS A GREAT PLAYER Arthur S. Hotchkiss, Earlham's star forward, was elected captain of the basket ball team yesterday afternoon. Hotchkiss is one of the oldest players on the team from the point of service and deserved the honor bestowed upon him. In fact he was the most logical candidate for the position and the captaincy was considered his long before the meeting yestrday. Last year Hotchkiss was one of the forwards who made Eaajham a factor in college basket ball of the state. He lead the forwards of the state in standing of field goals thrown, and was given a place on some of the allstar Indiana fives. Much of the success of the team depends on Hotchkiss this year. It is admitted on all sides the team has not shown the form that characterized the early form of last season's team and whatever success Earlham has will be largely due to Hotchkiss. TIME IN TURKEY. The Hours Arm Alwaya Changing and Holidays Are Numerous. In addition to laziness in Turkey there is inaccuracy. The Turkish official is naturally inaccurate, and habit and conceit make him more so. This perhaps is due to the way In which Turkey measures time. Twelve o'clock in the day corresponds with sunset that is to say, whatever hour the sun sets, it must always be 12. ' Consequently the hours change always, getting later the first half of the year and earlier in the last, which compels everybody to put his watch to daily torture. So no one in Turkey can flatter himself that he has the exact time. The most strict of Englishmen soon loses his national punctuality, so when two Turks make an appointment It is within the limit of half an hour or an hour, and even then they don't gen erally arrive till after the time agreed on, each one calculating on the utmost possible delay on the part of the other. Consequently the state employees are not bound down by very severe discipline. No one expects them to arrive at their office at any particular time, especially as the majority of them go hardly at all. As for the most industrious, they appear for two or three hours in the afternoon only, and rather late. In the morning state offices are usually closed. Besides this workdays are rather scarce for the race of officials. Friday is the Sabbath of the Mohammedans. Saturday is the day afU a feast day, and one does not do much then. Sunday the Greeks and Armenians remain, like good Christians, at home, and the Mohammedans generally imitate so good an example. Monday is again the morrow of a feast day. Wednesday there Is a meeting of the council of ministers, and few employees go then to the ministry. With religious festivals added in, it is easy to understand that out of the 365 days of the year there are not many left to consecrate to the interests of the Ottoman empire. Nicholas C. Adossides In American Magazine. THE CABIN BOY. He Has Become Practically a Thing of the Past. . An old sea captain who brought his ship into port recently after a long voyage from thfe east was talking about the changed conditions in the merchant marine since he entered It fifty years ago. "I was thinking particularly," he said, "of how the cabin boy has completely disappeared, or at least how extremely rare he is now. I went to sea when I was twelve years old and got my full share of the many duties and few pleasures that belonged to the job I took. I waited on the officers, or the passengers if we had any, helped the steward in the pantry and even had to assist "cookie" despite the chronic kicking 1 put up over that imposition. Besides all those , things, of course, the crew made me run errands for them, and everybody In general seemed to regard 'the boy as the scapegoat for anything that went wrong. All new cabin boys were unmercifully laughed at if they were either homesick or seasick, and there were various practical jokes which had to be tried on them by the seamen. 1 remember well how I was told the first day I came aboard never to throw anything to windward except hot water and ashes and how I was green enough to follow these orders Implicitly. The sight of my red and streaming eyes set the crew into roars of laughter. "Those times are gone. There's no place at sea for any one but an ablebodied man now. Even the mess boys.' so called on the liners and in the navy, are all men. The modern changes In the build of vessels have left no work fit for a boy, and I don't believe you could find one now unless on some very small craft." Philadelphia Ledger.

County Ballot for Taft

sealed shows that Taft' s electors received every vote cast in the county. No votes were recorded for the electors of any other candidate" for the presidency or vice presidency. f Curiously enough, too, this vote was not cast in asstrongly republican state or in a northern state. Zapata county contains less than 30UO Inhabitants, and it cast its 42S votes solidly for the Taft and Sherman electors. The county is down on the Mexican edge. Careful examination fails to disclose a similar case in the history of American political elections. SHOES AND STOCKINGS. A Way by Which Their Lasting Qualities May Be Increased. While your shoes are new or before the soles are much worn apply with a small brush several coats of linseed oil, letting it dry In well each time before reapplying. The oil acts much the same on the leather as it does on wood, and if the applications of oil are repeated frequently the sole may be presehved intact indefinitely. It sounds unreasonable to talk of preserving hosiery to any appreciable extent, but it may be done. The oftener hosiery is washed the longer it will last. By washing I do not necessarily" mean the ordinary laundry method, which is calculated to fade and rot the fiber. Really, to preserve hosiery it must have' personal supervision. Stockings should never be worn longer than one day. They should then be rinsed in lukewarm water with a few drops of ammonia in it, dried and worn without ironing! This repeated wetting of the fiber keeps it so firm and strong that it will not break at the points of greatest distension. This treatment applies to cotton, lisle thread and silk hosiery. If you will treat your new hose this way from the beginning, you need darn but very little. Of course In time all hosiery, however expensive or strong, will succumb to wear, but the above method of treatment will double the lasting qualities. New York World. THE LETTER THAT KILLETH. Trifling Errors That Have Had Big Results In Court. It is on record that Lord Denman established great reputation at the bar by securing an acquittal In a famous case oa the ground that a certain firm described In the indictment as "proprietors of a silk and cotton lace manufactory" should have been described as "proprietors of a silk and of a cotton lace manufactory," It having been ascertained that they made both silk and cotton lace. ' In 1827 a judge quashed an Inquisition for murder because it was referred to the jurors as "on their oaths" Instead of "on their oath." In yet another case the judge held that the omission of the word "ewe" was sufficient to Invalidate a conviction because the word "ewe as well as "sheep" was used in the statute. In 1841 Lord Cardigan was indicted for firing on Captain Tucket In a duel. He was acquitted because the captain's Christian names were wrongly entered in the Indictment. In another case about the same period a legal document was Invalidated because the letters A. D. were used instead of the words "In the year of our Lord." Westminster Review. Bats In a Bedroom. An army of bats Invaded the bedroom of a rectory in Dorsetshire, and from every part of the room they could be heard plunging against mirrors and glasses, knocking against the ceiling, while too often to be pleasant one would hit against 'the bead of the bed. The rector struck a match and lit a candle. This served to attract the creatures nearer to that particu lar part of the room in which the bed was placed. Then the reverend gentleman placed the candle near an open window, only to find that other bats began to come in, so that it was Impossible to count how many there were In the room. Another plan was tried. All the curtains were drawn aside and the -east window opened wide. The light was put out, and the visitors gradually dispersed. London UNIFORM SYSTEM ' OF BOOKKEEPING .

A bill Introduced by Senator Mc Callum is to recharter Hanover college and make it a non-sectarian and also a coeducational institution. Ever since its founding Hanover has been under the control of the Presbyterian church and according to its charter it is an institution of learning for the sons of citizens of Indiana." Young women have never been allow ec to attend the college, and it is pointed out that in many respects this has worked to the detriment of Hanover. The board of trustees believe the time has come to revise the charter and make it read "an institution of learning for the chil dren of citizens of Indiana." . . It has been found ' that the charter must be revised before the college can accept financial gifts -: from persons whl wish to assist it- - t is said the Presbyterian synod has given up control of the college in order that the charter may be revised.

extra fare every time a passenger gets on board a train wittfout ' a ticket. Senator Fleming of Fort Wayne, introduced one bill and Senator Kistler of Logansport the other. They say the railroads wish the law in order to dis courage the habit of getting on a train without a ticket, and that the rail road organizations wish it because it lessens the burden of the conductor and gives him a better opportunity to handle his train properly and to make reports in better time. Home Government Measure. The bill introduced by Senator McCullough of Anderson to change the metropolitan police law proposes to do the job by simply taking from the governor the appointive power and placing it in the hands of the mayor and common council to name the po lice commissioners of each city. This is about the only material change the bill makes in the present law. The system of handling the department will be the same. It is believed this bill will surely pass. It is proposed by the bill of Senator Stotsenburg to take South Bend and Terre Haute out of the third class of cities and place them in the second class, leaving New Albany, Muncie and Anderson in the third class, and there is no change in the law affecting cities of the first and second class. In cities of the third and fourth class the bill abolishes the office of city judge, city controller and board of public works. It contains a provision however, that any city of the third and fourth classes

The county local option law will be repealed, if at all, apparently' by a bill which Senator McCullough Is arranging to introduce in a few days. It will be practically a high license bill but will restrict the saloons to certain districts. Senator McCullough has given out an outline of what his bill will be, and this is what he says it will contain: "No saloons will be permitted except in Incorporated cities and towns, and saloons shall be confined to the business districts or the fire limits. This would in my opinion, do away with the road houses which are a menace in every community. "The number 'of saloons shall be limited to one for every l.OOO inhabitants, and when a saloon . license expires it sail not be renewed until the population basis justifies it. "A license fee of not less than $1,VH) shall be charged, and perhaps in the cities this fee might be higher. "The license should be granted by
