CONCERNING DOCTOR ZIMMERMAN Although Dr. Zimmerman has not formally announced hia candidacy for the republican nomination of mayor of thla city, it ie well understood around town among his frienda that "Doc" ia among the aspirants to that office. If It be true that Dr. Zimmerman has a hankering for the job it ia only kindness to tell him that he had bet ter relinquish his hopes. The repub lican party cannot afford to have him for its candidate in this city and ths people of Richmond not only cannot afford to have him for mayor but will not have him. Even if Doc got ths nomination (which is doubtful) he could never gst ths people of this city to vote for him. In saying this It is no condemnation of a man who haa never been tried. Zimmerman haa been tried and found wanting kicked out. The Doctor must have a shorter memory than the other residents of this community if he cannot remember the -happenings Vf four years ago when the republican in this vicinity repudiated him. FVr even in the memory of babes and sucklings it happened that the citizens of thia town, men, women and children united on one proposition, thst Zimmerman was an undesirable man to have in the office of mayor. The kindness of the Doctor is well known. It has become a proverb that he will dash to a case of measles with all the speed that his predilection for horse flesh, gasoline and the fast life In general will allow him. But that doss not prove that He is qualified for the office of mayor. It was found that ths trouble with Dr. Zimmerman ia not that he ia not kind and obliging hia fault has ever been that he is too obliging. He has Shown that he will do almost anything that any one wants him to, provided . No, Doc you have had your day. There Is no need to raks up certain events in ths history of ths Doctor's public and private life.' Ths tales of masked men who impose on the charity' of the Doctor; of certain scandalous proceedings in the signature of certain certificates; and of hia weakness of moral fibre and his forgetfulnsss; all that will be remembered in due aeason if But, as a friend might advise Doc, It would be better that he allow these things to be forgotten In the quiet of his domestic tranquility and not try to ' appear In ths spot light of ths political arena. In that limelight even the' most innocent of men appears with all hia weakness and Dr. Zimmerman cannot again afford to place himsir wnsrs no win ee distinctly seen. It will save him much money to stay out of ths campaign. It will save the citizens' of Richmdnd much money to kssp him out of the mayor's office. What ws nssd in this town la a mayor who haa had " experience in business past ths point of not collecting doctors' bills. . A man ia required who can be firm when "interests get together." He must be sbls to Veep his sys on the people's welfare and net on his own purse strings. He must be above suspicion of all sorts of shady dealings and doings. -This description does not fit exMayor Zimmerman. Ths tor Is said to be in favor of . a widt v;en town' perhaps his Idea of a lde open town has changed 1 since his enforced vacation from the city building. One thing la certain. .The citizens of thia town dont want It may not be amiss to say that' the saloon interests In Richmond after Jtbr victory cannot afford from two 'calnta of view to no back to the old ways which were- theirs in Doc'e time. We do not mesa) that they have any Intention to. It wsunf be the greatest fetty to think of It. , .Far the next mayor will be the polio judge and in ease the metropoli tan police taw Is repealed there wttt! fear a chance for things to happen as thsy happened some years ago. la It M that the Doctor hat hia aye, on?

The Palladium ia in favor of well regulated town headed by a live may-

or of bualneaa ability and unquestioned honor." The "Zimmerman plan" of city government has been tried here don't want to see it tried again. FORUMOFTHE PEOPLE To the Editor of the Palladium: A short story made long. Old Wayne, one of the banner coun ties of the state, on the 22nd day of August, 1908, gave the grandest Sun day school parade and rally that ever took place in the state of Indiana. On November 3, 1908, hundreds of our voters sacrificed their respect for their party, and on February 5. 1909, done better still on their downward way, sacrificed their respect for themselves, their families and their home all for their King - liquor "Forgive them Father, they know not what they do." Many were the men who faithfully promised their wives. "the queen of the home," to vote dry, but at the polls gave away to their weaker emotions and decided to stand by the saloons, give them their money and deceive their wives, rather than give her a portion of the money and help cast out the saloons. Many were the men who stood on the streets of our towns throughout election, day and cast no vote tslmply because they were getting paid to v-e-t-o instead of vo-t-e. Many were so far sighter and wise as to see oar taxes raised, prices of products lowered and the business of our cities ruined. Business had better be ruined than to pay the bill with human souls, as we are now. These mind readers are our "moder ate" drinkers, speaking of them as modest as possible. It was not the taxes or anything, but their love for the beverage easily told. They have saved us the saloons for two more years at least. Yes, the saloons. The saloon is a place where Intoxicating liquors are sold to be drank over a bar. ... "A bar to heaven, a door to hell. Who ever named it, named it well." About the bar cluster -the drinking and - drunk, like flies around a sorghum spout, a good place for cut throats and thieves. The drunkard is seen vainly searching ' his pockets for the price of another drink, the sober Is urged to drink once more. The saloon is a nice place. Yes. Nice foot railing to rest your tired feet, a bar to lean your elbow on, you lift the first glassful and in a moment look up through the bottom of the glass, that glass calls for many more, the next you realize you are going down the street locked arms with a roan with a blue suit on, the next you hear Is "$10 and costs." and of all things that rings' in your ears the longest. For thr working man, it is not so much tfc drop in wages, as the drop he takes after he gets the wages, that causes trouble. "The saloon keepers all may he very nice men. I give them my money and wake in the pen." - The saloons patrons are usually on the march to total depravity and its proprietor generally heads the pro cession. Its finished products are lunatics, paupers and criminals. Nor does it work alone, usually gambling dens exist with it. Out of both no real good has ever come. All pretend ed pleasures are baits to entrap. Only a short time ago in a city I saw a man too drunk to stand alone. leave a sa loon, took a few steps and fall, the saloon man had watched him and came to his rescue and the lsst I saw was leading him along. Would it not be a delightful business to get to lead your patients around over town. They Bay the saloon is the poor man's club. Perhaps it is. I'm sure that his wife and children think sometimes the club is at their house when the father comes home and starts a drunken brawl. Before the election each side predicted a victory. If they had let Walla To Your Meals Uke A man Eat What You Wilt and Learn to Enjoy Food and to Digest It. HERE'S THE SECRET, FREE. Make up your mind after -resdinc this that you will let the next meal hold no terrors for you. You can enjoy it. You can digest it. All that is needed is to give nature the juices she lacks, to give ths stomach a chance to remove the terrible irritating acids, alkalies and eas es which turn food and nourishment into gas and decomposition. When a system is run down and depleted it needs building up. Ashes won't rekindle a Are and wrong di gestive fluids will not take proper juices from food no matter how good we rood is. Is this common sense? Men spend years and even life experimenting on the human system, what it lacks in disease and what it needs in Defec tion. This knowledge is known to ev ery physician or should be. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are compressed natural vegetable and fruit essences which when mixed with the saliva of the mouth go into the stomach capable of digesting a full meal and thev digest it to the uttermost shred. Then such a meal does a man good and it gives to him the means to overcome stomach troubles. " Forty thousand physicians use these . tablets and charge you for writing a testimonial of their merit which they call a prescription. Any druggist . in America or Canada wilt eell you a box for 50c. Think of it. Every druggist carries them. Here's common sense again. Don't this tell you there is merit? Go to your druggist today, buy a package and walk up to your meals knowing that, they will not.. cause you., pain. Send us your name and address and we v will send you a trial package by mail free.

the women vote, they would not have needed any predictions, four thousand, nine ' hundred and ninety-nine would vote for their everlasting elimination. Some would say this is their weaker sense of judgment, but I say their superior sense of judgment, for "The band that rocks the cradle. Is the band that rules the world."

License high or laws means the perpetuation of the saloon in its most alluring form. Local option by town ships means a saloon on one side of the township line to supply the other side; by cities means saloons, where saloons can control, to curse localities where they cannot. The right of soci ety to prohibit the manufacture and sale of liquors, is often assailed as an attack on personal liberty. Thi3 is a mistake. No one claims the right to compel temperance by law. What a man msfy drink is for his conscience The question is between him and his God. But drunkenness is a different matter and affects society. Drunken ness ie a great public wrong, involv ing life, health, prosperity, peace, morals and tbe general welfare. Great personal liberty isn't it? What law gives the right to sell that which 1mbrutes man, destroys life and fills the state with insanity crime, want and taxation. This kind of liberty would put a cylinder of dynamite under the Temple of Liberty. We hear the cry that, "blind tigers" would invade our fair land if the saloons were put down. They say young men would go there who would not go to an open saloon. Twelve blind tigers would be nothing to one tiger with two good eyes. Twelve blind tigers would be nothing with a good sheriff and a law enforc ing police force. It is not the thought to secretly obtain something to drink that lures young men away so much, as the company they get in. I saw in a paper some time ago in regard to a Y. M". C. A. convention, this sen tence: "Hundreds of young men were there from different cities, as well as the awkward country boy." I would like to add. if one half of the cities lads were as pure as the awkward country lad, what a world we would have. If there is such a thing as crime the saloon is in its last decade. To permit them to exist for money is to sell the lives of men. the virtue of women, the support of little children. If there be any man so inefficient that he cannot make a living without going it partnership with the saloons, let him seek the cloisters ef the poor house and go to his grave with his soul uns'tained -with saloon pollution. If there be a city that cannot conduct its government without being sustained by revenue from a licensed saloon, let it surrender its charter with honor and not make itself a disgrace to the map of the state. A CITIZEN OF FRANKLIN TP. Editor palladium: I am glad that Richmond intends to celebrate the Lincoln Centennial in a way that will reflect credit upon our city. I wish to make a suggestion concerning the children, especially those so young as to soon forget the exercises of the day. Let each family preserve that day's copy of some newspaper taken so that in future years the children of today will have a reminder. Also buy some Lincoln post cards. A TEACHER. TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION. To the Editor of the Palladium: In the name of the cultured and refined women of this community the non-voting residents of Wayne county, allow me to call the attention of the active voters to a discussion of several points of interest involved in the election of last Friday. The editor of the Item, Richmond's Tiger of the Press, despite his clawing of his neighbors, has left unscathed that plain fact of cool reason that the complete elimination of the . saloon from any community tends to the promotion of public peace and welfare. Boll dow into a few bitter drops all the venom and .fierce invective of the past few weeks, is there aught of truth or permanence in that frothy brew? Even when considered dispassionately, aside from its moral aspect, the saloon is recognized as a menace to the good order of any city. It is upon this ground that our brothers of the south who favor tbe use of stimulants in theif own homes, have yet voted the saloon out of their borders. That youth and human weakness make mandatory in all quarters this prohibitory safeguard is likewise established in the minds of those who are struggling to elevate the standards of right living and thinking among the masses. And yet this national wave of progress that might have swept clean our beautiful city. has. instead, dashed against the effectual barricade of the interests of the saloon, and been denied entrance.' An opportunity has come and gone! The die has been cast. Tbe memory of the look of disappointment in the eyes of one woman, when the result was known, is wringing my heart still, and when I multiply this case by thousands I marvel that man, the natural protector of woman, should have dealt so cruel a blow. The chance to put a little more money into one's pocket what does that count when weighed in the balance against this menace to the peace of home? Look back across the years, you men of public affairs. Go, uncover the burled ideals ; that ' spurred ambitious youth? Did self interest then control all springs of action? : When in the early years of our history as a nation, our forefathers, resenting the injustice of taxation withotu representation, resolved to break the - yoke of foreign oppression, the hardy dames of the land were with them to a unit. The man and woman were one in purpose, one in spirit; and their cause prevailed. Now in this greater struggle for spiritual supremacy over appetite, they stand opposed disunited in sentiment: man In the saloon exultant over his victory;' woman in the' home-weeping over her defeat. The ray of hope that shone for a day has been blotted out; and tbe burden that should have

borne upon the sonlders of two. has again fallen upon her own. Voters of Wayne county, as you value your own privilege before the law. give to this question a candid answer. So long as woman shall remain powerless to express her own sentiments through the ballot, have you the right to thus ignore her convictions in the exercise of the right of franchise? Look at the signs -f the times. Which way do tl. point? Conservative Richmond hss no power to stop the resistless march of progress. , E. E. F.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.isht, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEN. If Saul of Tarsus had lived in out day hi sensational conversion on the road to Damascus would appear In black headlines. Scarcely, less striking was the con version of Pat Crowe, bandit and bad man. In a Chicago flat recently. And, like Saul, Pat Crowe baa be come an evangelist. Crowe's reclamation was one of the rewards that come to tbe patient city missionary who goes Into tbe depths for the fallen. A Mrs. Woodmansee visited Crowe's home st the psychological moment Tbe bandit was overcome with re morse over a recent drunken debauch. With all the directness of a first cen tury apostle Mrs. Woodmansee said to the man: "God needs you in bis service." The declaration was like the bolt of light that blinded Saul on tbe high way. Ilad tbe missionary said, "The devil needs you In his service," Crowe would have understood. But God's service! Following up this stroke, tbe good woman . pointed to the infant son in the lap of Crowe's wife and asked wbst about his future. Whereupon the hunted fugitive broke down in abject penitence.' His love for the babe was Crowe's tender spot. After several days Crowe's conversion followed. His transformation appeared complete. When he told bis wife of his future plans she put her bands ia his and said: "I have faith In yon. We will work together." Crowe, who is a bright man with an unusual command of language. Is lecturing on "Tbe Crime of Society In Dealing With Criminals." Now t You may be of those who resent thla lecturing of society by reformed criminals. You msy disbelieve in such conversions and predict that the mood will not last. But It may be Crowe hss a genuine message on the treatment of criminals and the spiritual miracle in Crowe's case be as genuine and lasting as that of Paul. Anyway, one thing is sure childhood is ever a potent factor in the redemption of men. No wonder tbe divine Infancy drew to Bethlehem the wise men of the east. For it la true now as of old, that "out of tbe mouths of babes and sucklings strength la ordained." It is true now as of old that In tbe best and highest things of life "a little child shall lead them." SGCCESS AND FAIuS. Both man and animal are in a ceaseless fight for successful existence. 1 ', Tbe law of tbe survival of the fittest does its work. With tooth and talon tbe animals- selfishly battle for tbe mastery.,'. - Man also fights hia fellows, not with teeth and claws, but with canning and foresight and skill. Wit takes the place of the club of the stone age. And in tbe arena of competition men face one another as bravely as did the gladiators of Rome and Corinth. But There is this difference: , Among men the fight must be fair. If in his climbing up tbe man uses foul means to pull his fellow down, be is dishonored. If be . employs deceit or force, he descends to the brute. Real success today depends en HOW a man WINS it-end USES tt. If anxious to win a man betrays trust or extorts an undue advantage or grabs more than be earns or needlessly . wounds bis' rival, that is not "the square deal." It was not always so. It is coming to be so. , And. on the other hand, the man who wins an honored place among tbe successful .of. today , must do so by helping his fellows.' There is only one way by which one can wring from tbe world of today Its admiration and Its gratitude, and that is by the way of SERVING the world. Only he who serves his generation is respected and honored by his generation. Is not that just and fine? The people want to know HOW the man comes up. If be gets up by low trickery or by a betrayal of the common Interest, he cannot win tbe recognition of the people. .But you say "Nothing succeeds like success." " Once, and not so long ago. tbe adage was a truism. Once it . wss urged: "Succeed I Succeed honestly If you can, but succeed." But. thank goodness, our Ideals nave advanced. Tbe moral awakening of our time has created higher standards by wAich to judge our men. ; Even the politicians are beginning to see. though dimly, thst in our day IGNOBLE SUCCESS IS OJSLY SUCCESSFUL FAILURE. A cup of coffee, a bit of sausage, and Mrs. Austin's buckwheat cakes is a breakfast fit for a king.
