P. ftemree chairman of the executive com. coming from the 'western part of tbe county was received at this office yesterday. It Is as follows: devolutions passed "by tbe County Local Option Organization of Dublin, Ind.: : r , : l Whereas, ThO business men -and newspapers of Hichmond, Ind., were so negetic in persuading the voters of the city of Richmond In the late campaign to vote wet for the selfish purpose ,re believe of bettering the flngmcial condition of the city at the cost Mid expense to a great extent, to the (glance of the county and without regard to the moral ' Issue involved In the campaign. . And whereas The outside townships cut over 1 JOO majority dry votes and by so doing mt the issue 'fair and qusre upon its merits and without thought of collusion of any kind for elf gain. Nov therefore be it resolved, That we the dry voters and all others who desire to-be fair and meet this greatest Of all evils squarely upon Its merits, and who will not be a party to or in r any way aid and abet tbe city of Richmond in her greed, do hereby declare that we will withhold our patronage - ixom(uie Nuooa aua i sympianizers trade with busines firms in our county or elsewhere, who are opposed to this - great evil. . D. P. DEMREE7, Chairman Executive Com. The Paladium Is in doubt whether to take this seriously or as a striving ; after notoriety by a few men. v The policy of this paper is against free ad vertising even when it makes the advertiser out as a smaller man than he would like to bo thought. The reader will noticethat the document is signed by only one name. Query? Does this mean that the Dublin citizens are ashamed to put their names to such a paper? It is to be hoped. If this thing is to be taken seriously there Is only one way to take it. That Is, these citizens of Dublin have been wilfully mislead. These misguided individuals have been led to believe that county local option is a thing which is aoooptlon. They have been led to befleye that ocunty. local option is prohi bition. They) are believers of the ' !ordsf the brewers in' the Jast cam paign when they said that "County fiftcat Option Means Prohibition." It C5ea not nor never did. ; a, v Osthe other band if the persons be tted, ibis boycott did not this they are Oattng na exhibit of themselves. fhetreommlttee waa a part of tbe or- ; CaflCAtloa which shouted "Shall the jpebpletrule, through the medium of pHlt fac type in the recent election nd are unwilling to abide by the will Cf the-majority. In all other things in t$btlfe there Is only one way to chargfctssjso such, conduct. The man who does pot know how to lose gracefully U th man -who has not good fighting . tfoo4t In Irsr this man does not face tbJs esjpmy and fight over again; in a baseball game he protests that the atStr'sne are ringers;' in a fight be r throws stones and calls names. It Is a yellow streak. . We. do not mean to say that the citi- ; sens or Dublin are this sort. But if Ksr " f ehwftf svn - bVawmm.' mmK j v ... waayr swuvmvh , wj OU9, UlAvlJIHUl there are not many gentle and endeartog words which fit them. We can only say to the citizens who appear to oe misguiaea that they come under the same category as their colahorer E. R. Thompson, to whom we said In a recent Issue: "' . "County local option means the plac ing la the hands of the people of any selves whether or not they wish the - Kale of llqnor in their county through ue mwaiiuu nionn i it means' nothing else. We are not discussing whether or not this is right Or wrong, - ' we are dtecusslrf coU facts, ' There Is not tr f -jiet os to 'look tXthe statute We had a demonstration of the : law net so long since." - The Dublin men who are behind this boycott can not' see that the people of Richmond may have bad any other motive , then rational enrichment.

win. They will not abide by the de

cision of the people. Because the majority disagreed with them the majority is crooked! Evil to him who evil thinks. We hope indeed that these men are simply after notoriety even though we have gratified their petty desires. The thing - which : they - have attempted is not from honorable motives. It makes great difference what tbe character and reputation of a town is. Whether that town will retain its hon orable and Intelligent name, or wheth er it go on record as having sponsored a yellow boycott is a matter for the Dublin citizens and not the town of Richmond to worry about. The harm is theirs, not Richmond's. CONGRATULATIONS. It was an inspiration to the young er .generation of this town last night to look upon the face of the only surviving Lincoln elector of Indianathe .worthy patriarch, Isaac Jenkinson. They envy him . the record of his life and the participation in great events. They were in the presence of a' man who had helped to make history. That is indeed a splendid record. We have only a few among us of the gentlemen of the old school, but their very paucity of numbers drives home the lesson that It Is coming our turn to face the problems which may in their ""way sometime be as Important as those which have gone into .history. It is only by following the ex ample of those, who like Mr. Jenkinson, have done their duty when the crisis came that we can hope for bet ter things in the future. On this notable day the Palladium offers its congratulations to the onetime editor, of this paper, the Honorable Isaac Jenklnspn. It cannot wish him success that is already his It wishes him many more years of health and prosperity. "AMERICA." ,It is not worthy of the town of Ricb mond that the singing of the national hymn "America" should be a signal for a hasty exit. This would not be tolerated in -very many places. It is unpatriotic in the extreme. Yet there were some . in the audi ence at the -coliseum last -night who even on the centennial anniversary of Lincoln's birth could not forget themselves to stand still on their feet for three minutes. , There should be a deeper reverence ior toe singing or America, it is a thing which the strongest and the bravest are proud to do the soldiers and sailors of this country. The majority of the audience at the coliseum responded to the singing of the nauuuai trainem mey neea no commenaauon. i ne minority has no valid excuse for its action. FORUMOFTHE PEOPLE To the Palladium: 1 In looking through tbe columns of one of our local papers a few evenings ago I came upon an article with the following headlines; "Remonstrance in Cambridge; Drys Encouraged by Fact That Jackson Was Not Wet," etc! After reading a few paragraphs of the article I eame to the following. "The saloons of Cambridge' City have been put Into bad repute recently by the fact that New Castle went dry. The suit case brigades from the county seat of Henry county have descended on Cambridge City and have made life miserable for the liquor interests and the town in general. The New Castle aggregation has no respect for law or order and disgraced the town with its rowdy tactics. The one man police force of Cambridge City is not able to enforce the law and an effort will be made to employ additional officers to curb the sporting proajivities of the New Castle -visitors." When I finished reading the above quoted paragraph I confess I was greatly puzzled for during our recent option campaign we were informed through newspaper editorials and otherwise that Henry county was about the wettest place on the map; that they had a blind tiger in every fence corner and a regular river of booze running down every street in New Cas tie. Now I may exaggerate a little, but really not a great deal. What puz zled me was this. If the conditions prevailed in Henry county that we were asked to believe during the cam paign, why was it neeesary for such a stampede of the thirsty Henry county ites to go to Cambridge City for their booze? It seems to me that if they were at all patriotic they would have stayed a home and patronized home industries, especially when these industries were soflourisbing. - Now another thing that puzzles me is this. - We were told in this campaign that it would be a grand thing from a business point of view to retain our saloons so we would attract the patronage of the thirsty ones, who would otherwise go to other burgs with their patronage. And now in less than a week after election we find the citizens of Cambridge making a heroic effort to drive away, this very patronage. Now the question naturally arises. Are the people- of Cambridge foolish In trying to get rid of it, or were we RichmondItes buncoed when we tried to get it? In this same paragraph from which I quoted we were told that "the one man police fores of Cambridge City is . not W ' to enforce the law, but that additional officers ill have to be employed to curb the New Castle sports." . rw. vrs war tl bba nsW

would require an additional 'police force to enforce the laws in Richmond. Now, how does this old thing work anyhow? Increased police - force in Cambridge because she stayed wet In creased police force in Richmond if she votes dry. New Castle swimming in whisky because she did go dry. yet her thirsty citizens chasing to Cambridge after booze, because Cambridge stays wet As the small boy would say, "I'm all bailed up," ana win nave to let the wise ones answer. Now one thins more and I'll close. Whv is it that the counties that have driven practically all the saloons from their borders by the Moore remon strance law and therefore have had ex perience as dry territory for some time were the ones to roll up such tremen dous majorities in the option elections. Take Randolph county for instance. Randolph has been dryfor over two years excepting a spot in Union City, and Randolph rolled op a majority of nearlv 2.50O for the drys. We were told that Winchester was something fierce, that drunkenness was a com mon thing and that whisky bottles lav like dead soldiers In the alleys of i city. If the conditions there were so deplorable is it reasonable that the citizens would have -voted so overwhelmingly to continue these conditions when they could so easily have ushered in such a "Heavenly era1" as we are experiencing in Wayne county bv simDly voting . wet? If the condi tions there are really so bad as repre sented I can account for their rouy only in one way, and that Is that none of their citizens have ever been In Richmond and observed the angelic conditions here with our 51 law-abiding, well regulated saloons. CITIZEN. Scotland long ago lost Its forests. In the time of James the VI it was lamented that the country was almost naked and 'mony ylers ago spoiled of all the timmer within the same." Within the last hundred years, however, great tracts, notably In Perthshire and Forfarshire that once were bare, have been reclothed with "timmer." Congress has lost its last member that wore boots. He was Representa tive Charles N. Brumm. of Pennsylvania. He resigned his seat on January, 1909. oecause he had been elected judge of the -Schuylkill County Court in Pennsylvania. - " Drinking Hen Not Reliable - Employers Want 8ober Men.

LIUI DAY AT HIS EIHTHPL'CE HLORIOUS ONE (Continued ..From Page One.)

President Roosevelt spoke as follows: We have met here to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the birth of one of the two greatest Americans; of one of tbe two or three greatest men of the nineteenth century; of one of the greatest men in the world's history. This rail splitter,, this boy who passed bis ungainly youth in the dire poverty of the poorest of the frontier folk, whose rise was by weary and painful labor, lived to head his people through the burning flames of a straggle from which the nation emerged, purified as by fire, born anew to a loftier life. After long years of Iron effort and of failure that eame more often than victory, he at last rose to the leadership of the irepublic at toe moment bra that leadership bad become the stupendous world task .of the time. He grew to know greatness, but never ease. Success came to him, but never bappiness, save that which springs from doing well painful and a vital task. Power was bis, bat not pleasure. The furrows deepened on bis brow, but bis eyes were undimmed by either hate or fear. His jraunt shoulders were bowed, but hi steel thews never faltered as he bore for a burden the destinies of bis people. His great and tender .heart shrank from giving pain, and tbe task allotted him was to pour out tike wa- ' ter the lif blood of tbe young men, and to eel in bis every fiber the sor-j row of the women. Disaster saddened ! but never dismayed him. Xriumph was his at tbe last, and barely bad be tasted it before murder found him, and the the kindly, patient, fearless eyes were closed forever. . - Lincoln and Washington. As a people we sre Indeed beyond measure fortunate In the characters of the two greatest of our public men, Washington and Lincoln. They were alike in essentials they were alike in the great qualities which rendered each able to render service to his nation and to all mankind such -as no other man of his generation could or did render. There have been other men as great and other men as good,, but in all tbe history of mankind there are no other two great men as good as these, no other two- good men as great Widely though the problems of today differ from the problems set for solution to Washington when he founded this nation, to Lincoln when he saved' I it and freed the slave, yet the qualities ; ; they showed in meeting these prcbI lems are exactly the same as those we ; should show in doing our work today. . Lincoln saw Into tbe future with the prophetic imagination usually vouch- ' safed only to the poet and the seer. He -bad la fcim all the lift toward greatness of tbe visionary,' without any of tbe visionary's fanaticism or egotism, without taxy of the Slsion-! arys narrow jealousy of tbe practical ; man and Inability to strive in prac tical fashion for tbe realization of aa ideaL No more practical man ever lived than this homely backwoods Idealist, but he bad nothing in common with those practical men whose consciences are warped until they , fa9 to distinguish between good and evil, fall to understand that strength, ability. la tbe world of cT, f ..gCTfrsy only gsrre to

We of this day must try to solve many social and industrial problems requiring to an especial degree the, combination of indomitable resolution with cool beaded sanity. We can profit by the -way in which Lincoln used both these traits -as he strove for reform. We can learn much of value from the very attacks which following that course brought upon his head, attacks alike by the extremists of revolution and by the extremists of reaction. He never wavered In devotion to bis principles. In his love for the Union and In bis abhorrence of slavery. Timid and lukewarm people were always denouncing him because he was too extreme; but, as a matter of fact, he never went to extremes. Yet perhaps the most wonderful thing of all and, from the standpoint of tbe America of today and of tbe future, 'the most vitally important was the extraordinary way in which Lincoln could fight valiantly against

what he deemed wrong and yet pre- -serve undiminished his love and re-If

spect for the brother from whom be atffered. In the hoar of a triumph that would have turned any weaker man's bead, in the heat of a struggle which spurred rmanya good man to dreadful vindictiveness, he said trutbfoJly tliat lon be had been in .els office be bad never .willingly .plant ed a thorn In any man's bosom and besought his supporters to study the incidents .of jthe trial through which they were passing as philosophy from which to learn wisdom and not as wrongs to be avenged, ending with the solemn exhortation that, as the strife .Ttas over.- all .should reunite in a common effort to save their common country. "Mightiest .of .Americans' . He lived in days that were great aud terrible. ' when brother fought against brother ior what each sincerely -deemed to be the right, in a contest so rim the strong men who alone can carry it through are rarely &ble to do justice to the deep convictions of .those with whom they grapple in mortal strife. At sneu times inen Isee through a glass darkly. To only the rarest and loftiest spirits is vouchsafed that dear vision which gradually comes to all. even to the lesser, as the strussle fade Into distance and wounds are forgotten and peace creeps back to the hearts that were bnrt. But -to Lincoln was given this supreme vision. He did not hate tbe man from whom he differed. : Weakness was es foreign as wickedness to bis strong, gentle nature. But bis courajre was of i s quality so bisb that it needed no ' bolster-teg of dark yesaion. He saw , clearly that the am fc-k:h mallties, : tbe same ecurspe and'twilllness for self sacrifice and d erotic n to the riht ' as it was given tbeta to see the right. ; belonged both to the men of the north ; and to the men of the' south. As tbe -years roll by and as all of us. wher- " ever we dwell, grow to feel an equal ; pride In the. valor and self devotion. alike of tbe men who wore the blue , and the. men who wore the gray, so this whole station wCl grow to feel a '; peculiar senn of pride in the mightiest ; of the -mighty men who mastered the mighty days, Tbe forer of bis country and of an mankind, the man whose blood was shed for the union of his people aad for taw frets' sen of a Abraham Lincoia A sign hung in a conspicuous place fa a store la Tjawreaee: - "Maa is made of dust.

The Love in Lincoln's Nature By President-Elect Taft in Cosmopolitan Magazine

It seems to me as I study the life of Lincoln, that in his development and the position to which he attained there is more inspiration for heroism and ' uTTulness to the country than in the life of any man in history. He had his weaknesses, like others. His education was fault. But by a cer tain sort of intellectual discipline, by self education, he clarified his methods of 'thought and expression so tLat he was able to meet every problem presented by a sohition as simple as It was elective. The responsibility which he had to assume when he came to the presidency was awful to contemplate. and the proverbial sadness of his fea tures it is easy to understand. The criticism and abuse to which he was subjected in the crises of the civil war one is ashamed to review as a matter of history. And yet it Is cf the utmost value in the encouragement of others that they may not be borne down by. the weight of hostile and persistent criticism. Mr. Lincoln's biographer and partner. Judge Herndon. raises a , question as to whether love made up a part of Lincoln's nature. He suggests that bis consideration and charity resulted rather from his sense of justice. I don't know that such discussion Is profitable. Certain it is that we never had in public life a man whose sense, of duty was stronger, whose bearing toward those with whom he came in contact avhether his friends or political I opponents, was characterized by a . greater ense of fairness. And we have never had in public life a man who took upon himself uncomplainingly the woes of the nation and suffered in his soul from the weight -of them as v.
