)THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE AND LAW ENFORCEMENT. LasUfall when the Issue of county Aocal option came up, the Palladium supported that measure. It was not alone thatit was the platform of the Republican party It was because we "relieved and still believe that county local option is the only sensible and ffectfve liquor legislation. Wa said that it .was only fair that this be put ln the hands of the people. We be'Jleve in the will of the majority, for tin America this is the principle of our
national existence. But once that law was secure, we were convinced that
It should be left to the people to de
elde. Apd by their decision 'we are
'willing to abide. We haye confidence
(to the ultimate wisdom of the cill 'sens of Wayne county. We took the stand during the cam
paign.of Cardinal Gibbons: "To my
mind." Tic said "the people of a coun
ftjr should liave the right and power to
'decide for themselves whether or not
taquor snail be sold within the limits
of the county."
On tills question we respect the
right of any man to have his own view
as to whether or not liquor shall be
sold.
We do not believe that all those
who favor the saloon are criminals, bar leeches and drunkards. We do
not believe that all advocates of the abolishment of the saloons are fanatics, hypocrites and secret tipplers. We believe that It is possible to vote eith
er way and sleep soundly at night
without the troubling of- conscience. This question is one of opinion only. ' We have respected the right of any
an injustice to the men whose business they have destroyed. If the temperance people do this they will have shown that they are not impractical dreamers and visionaries and (he most telling argument which has been brought against the abolishment of the saloon will be gone. It will be hard to persuade a lot of people to support them again if they do not take active steps to stamp out what they have been talking against. We believe that this is the only sane and just way of dealing with the county if the saloons are abolished. Law evasion is a much more serious danger to this republic than any other problem with which we are concerned. The Palladium stands for the will of the people and for law enforcement.

TWO PARTIES MAY AGREE Oil LIQUOR BILL W SOON General Thought That Some Measure Will Be Drafted Which Will Be Satisfactory To Every Faction.
man to vote according to the dictates , of his own conscience.
The election which is held today will represent the will of the people of this county. If it goes "wet" the Palladium believes that all recriminations and insinuations should at once be stopped. The temperance people can not better their cause by saying that the election was bought, that any
set of citizens were criminals, or that
the county is going to rack and ruin. On the other hand let the same
words apply to tne situation n tne county goes "dry." Sooner or later we shall find out exactly what we 'want in this county and then we saall nave It Which ever way the election goes the people must remember that the most Important thing is to see that the law is obeyed. This is more imjportant than. the question of selling liquor. If the county goes wet let the closing laws and the law prohibiting the sale of liquor to minors be property enforced. We urge this to the liquor element as much for their own sake as for the good of the county and its citizens. If the county goes dry let every means be taken to drive out the illicit sale of liquor. We urge this to the temperance forces as much for their cause as for the good of the county. : We stand for law enforcement.
In our opinion if the county goes wet the laws will be more rigidly enforced than they are at present. We are not so sure that law enforcement will be a simple matter if the county goes dry. We therefore suggest that the present machinery of the temperance forces go to work dispassionately, if they win, tq shut out the blind tigers. It is our opinion that with the present organization of government this is impossible.What is needed is a sura of money which will be sufficient to employ counsel to aid the prosecutor and to employ detectives to run down cases of illicit liquor selling. If this is done for the next two years done steadily and systematically there will not be any illicit selling of liquor worthy of the name. But law enforcement can be had in no other way. If the enemies of the saloon do not stop Illicit liquor selling they will put Wayne county in a worse position than it Is now, besides having done
MR. TAFT S DECISION. If it is true, as stated on good au
thority, that President Elect Taft has made a decision never to drink alco
holic liquor, be is to be warmly com mended.
Mr. Taft has the will power of a strong man, and if he has made up his
mind he will keep his pledge.
One naturally asks the reason for
such a determination.
There is perhaps small danger for such a man in the occasional use of
intoxicants. His strong personality would not permit such use to become
a vicious habit. But Mr. Taft's exalted position among men makes his personal example a matter of great Importance. And, above all The spirit of his action in this decision is the spirit of self denial for the sake of others. And that kind of spirit in a great man is more potent than a thousand thou-shalt-aot commands. The latter is the spirit of the law; the former is the helpful spirit of the gospel. One is of Sinai, the other of Calvary. When a strong man gives up what may be to him a pleasure, moved by a love of his fellow men, the world takes note of it. President Eliot of Harvard says: "I turn my back on all the past if need be. I have changed my views. I have hundreds of young men on my hands. No license for the city of Harvard which covers the beads of those students." Not for himself, but' for his stude.nts. That is the Christlike doctrine. Fred Grant, the son of the silent soldier and himself a brave man, when the cup is offered him says, "I am afraid to drink." When some one asked Grant why he
was airaia to arms ne replied, "l am afraid not for myself, but for the
young officers." That Is it.
Phillips Brooks, one of the greatest preachers of modern times, understood
the meaning of this spirit of sacrifice
for others. In the presence of young
men who looked to him for leadership he spoke the language of the little
converted Jew of the first century:
"If eating meat causeth my brother to offend I will eat no more meat while
the world stands."
It is refreshing to note the growth of this brotherhood kindness, the spirit of sacrifice on the part of the strong
for the benefit of the weak.
The law of the survival of the fittest is cruel; the law of helpfulness for the
weak is divine.

New Flesh-Colored Product That
Heals and Hides Skin Imperfections. A peculiar feature of poslam, a new-
skin discover, is that it is naturally flesh-colored and contains no grease, so that when used on the face for the complexion, or for pimples, red noses,
or any other inflammations, blemishes, or discolorations, its presence cannot be detected, it can thus be applied in the daytime, the natural color of the skin being immediately restored and the actual healing and curing process accomplished in a few days. It can be had of any pharmacist who sells pure drugs. W. H. Sudhoft make a specialty of it. Fifty

SCHEME WAS LAID TO OUTFLANK W. RATLIFF Thought of Calling Up Repeal
Bill While Local Man Was Home to Vote Kirkman Gets Tangled Up. Palladium Bureau, Indianapolis, Feb. 5. Powerful influences are at work in the effort to evolve a liquor bill for the regulation and control of the retail liquor traffic, that will meet the demands of all elements that are now fighting for and against the local option proposition. Whether or not this effort will succeed, of course, no one can tell, but the influences are at work and they are influences that usually do things. Nearly a dozen bils have been introduced in the legislature for the control of the saloon. Some of them provide one thing and some another. Some propose the control by one method and others by some other method, but all seem to have the same purpose in mind the control of the traffic in some way. Democrats Have Mission. It is noticeable that not one of these bills has been introduced by a republl-1
I can member. The republicans hold that
their party have settled the liquor!
question by the enactment of the county local option law, and that there is nothing more for them to do along this line. The democrats, however, claim to have a mission in this matter and that mission is to repeal the county option law. Thus politics has entered into the matter until it has
come to be considered a purely partisan question, with the democrats on the one side and the republicans on the other.
Conservative Spirit. But this sentiment appears rapidly
to be giving away to a more conserva
tive spirit and there are strong indications that the two sides are trying to get- together on some middle ground, each giving a little and taking a little.
borne of the bills represented only
what the brewers and the liquor people wish to see enacted. Others contain nothing but the strictest kind of temperance provisions, some so strict
in fact that they would amount almost to prohibition. Then there are some others that take a freer view of the question and seek to frame up some really good legislation on the subject. All seemed to be imbued however, with the same thought, and that is to get the liquor question out of politics. Therefore it will not be surprising, judging from what has been going on within the last few days to see a new
move soon that will be a long step Jn that direction. . Probably Get Together.
So it need not be surprising if with
in the next day or two we hear that the various fighting elements of both parties have come together on a plan
for a composite bill for the control of
the liquor traffic that will meet the demands of all hands. It will, of course, not be what one element wishes, but
it will contain a portion of each of
the various bills that have been offered. In other words, it will contain what are considered the best and most important features of all the bills. This may not work out. but the indications are that it will, and that very soon. If it does work out it is said the bill will afford common ground on which all the parties may stand. It is said that it will repeal the county option law. but that it will repeal it in such a way that the need for a county option law will be removed entirely. Just how this bit of necromancy is to be worked out is not yet known, but able hands have the matter in charge. Planned to Outwit Ratliff. The closeness of the vote on the bill to repeal county local option, if such a vote comes up in the house, has caused all eyes to focus on Representative Ratliff of Wayne county, and Ratliff has been keeping his own counsel a3 to how he will vote on the question. Last night a quiet little scheme was
talked of by which Ratliff was to be
relieved 6f the unpleasant duty of committing himself on the question of repeal. For several days he has absolutely refused to state his position. Last it was said that he would go
home to Richmond today, to vote on the county option election being held in Wayne county and that while he Is absent an effort will be made by the
temperance forces to have the report on the repeal bill brought before the house for a vote. These forces claim to know positively that the favorable
report can not be adopted without
the vote of Ratliff. and this is the reason why they propose to call it out today during his absence. And it is said that Ratliffs part in this scheme is
that he knows that if this program is
folowed and he is not forced to vote on the question he will not be discredited among his constituents, no matter which side he would vote with were he here at roll call. 1
Those who talked about the scheme
were giving Rtaliff credit with having a lot of political sense in getting awar from the firing line just at the right
time. .
Hammond Court BilL The senate would have taken some
action on the bill to give Hammond
another superior court judge, yesterday afternoon, had it not been for the illness of Senator Bowser, of Lake county, who is confined to his bed in a hospital. Bowser is the chairman of the senate committee that has this bill in charge and although It was ready to be called up for passage yesterday the senators thought it would be nothing more than fair to Bowser to hold it off until he was able to appear on tlie floor when it is considered. There seems to be little doubt that the Hammond court bill will pass the senate, but there is an ax ready for it in the house, just as there is an ax ready for other court bills. One thing is puzzling the lobbyists who are backing the various court bills, and that is the manner in w'lich these bills are being held up in the house. Some of them have been in the hands of committees for two weeks"and the backers are unable for some reason to get them reported out When they ask for a reason for this delay they are met wit'a the reply that there are other measures before the legislature that are more Important to the state at large than these court bills. It begins to look like the court lobbyists will have to let some of the more important legislation like tie uniform bookkeeping and accounting bill get
through first before they will be able
to do anything with their court bills
The Hammond court bill wa3 made a
special order of business in the senate
next Monday at 2:30 p. m., when it is
hoped that Senator Bowser will be
able to attend.
Good Friday a Holiday.
The senate yesterday afternoon
passed Senator Fleming's bill designating Good Friday as a legal holiday.
Fleming said he introduced the bill at the request of bank clerks in Fort Wayne, who explained that several
other states have laws of this kind. They Will Yield. The republican members of the sen
ate have agreed to yield to Governor
Marshall's request for an appropria
tion of $3,600 a year for a special counsel for the governor. It is understood
that If the appropriation is made, and
it has been decided to do so. Governor
Marshall will appoint to that position Burt New, of North Vernon, the democratic candidate for reporter of the
supreme court who was defeated last
fall by less than- a hundred votes. New is rated a good lawyer. Office is Useless. But the republican senators believe that the special counsel to the governor will be a useless official and that Governor Marshall will not be able to do anything worth while with such an official helper. The republicans say, therefore, that they will give him what he asks for and then they will go before the people during the next campaign and show that even with all of this help Governor Marshall did nothing that was worth while nor that justified the expense. The republican senators have also decided to put through, the democratic resolution for the appointment of a Joint committee of two members from the house and two fro mthe senate to go through the state offices and inspect them with a view to seeing how much work is done, now it is done, how much help is required to do the work and how much this help ought to be paid. The purpose of the democrats in making this investigation, they say, is to find out where expenses may be reduced. In this they will have the assistance of the republicans who say they are as much in favor of curtailing expenses as are the democrats. They propose to not stand in
the way of any such effort. The republican senate will appoint two republican members of the committee, while the house will have two democratic members. This action on the part of the republicans hast taken the democrats by surprise, for they ex-

pected all along that the republican senate would sit down on the proposition. Kirkman Gets Tangled. Senator Kirkman, of Richmond, got tangled up, yesterday, on the vote on an amendment to the tenement house bill, and by the time he was fairly straightened out he had voted as he did not want to vote. Senator Kistler offered an amendment and it was adopted. Then Senator Stotsenburg moved to reconsider the amendment and this motion was lost, thus cinching the Kistler amendment. It was a rising vote. Kirkman was expected to vote against the motion to reconsider the Kistler amendment to the bill. He did not rise from his seat. "Stand Up Sit Down." "Stand up," cried one of the senators. Kirkman stood up. "Sit down." cried another. Kirkman sat down. "Stand up," said still another and this time Kirkman stood until the vote was counted. When a motion for adjournment was about to be put Kirkman, with a
copy of the senate rules in his hand started toward the chair, saying:
"Mr. President, the motion is out of
order. We should vote on the motion of the gentleman from Floyd (Stotsen
burg' to reconsider the motion of the
gentleman from Cass to amend the
bill." Kirkman did not know until he was
told that he had already voted on the motion of the gentleman from Floyd.
