It appears that there Is a strong possibility that the baseball bill Introduced by Mr. Brolley will pass by the margin of a few votes. It is to be hoped that the measure will go through and be signed by Gov. Marshall. There will no doubt be opposition by those who deal with ideals and theories instead of the real facts of humanvlife. Those who think that the ordinary man can subsist on work all the week; and no relaxation on Sunday are usually those who relax all the week and work all the Sabbath. For such people Sunday baseball has no appeal. These men do not take Into account the crowds of people on the streets on Sunday who are simply loafing around for want of something to do. There' is no place for them to go unless it is to a harmless game of baselull. It would doubtless be better if human nature were so constituted inJ this -day and generation so that the average man could sit down and enjoy reading Schopenhauer; discourses on Pragmatism and Truth by Royce, lor Varieties of Religious Experience by William James, but such moral and philosophical discussions do not seem to please. The Sunday baseball is not for the privileged few, but for the many who are without privileges. Blue laws may have been all very well several hundred years ago in colonial days, but even the most rigorous reformers of today would find it a hard matter to keep out of jail if he were suddenly transported to the realms of Massachusetts in the times of the Puritans. It is not that we are less moral. It is inconceivable that there has been no progress. It is that in this generation that we have come to see that the more comfortable and happy mankind is the better the moral status is apt to be. A great percentage of the crime and vice in this country is due to the fact that there is not enough to keep men occupied. Sunday baseball under the Brolley going provided the people want to go to church. That Sunday playing is a breach of Sunday observance is a matter of opinion only. The bill is a good one and it will bring many afternoons of pleasure to the ordinary citizens who are not overburdened with time on the week days in which to enjoy themselves. RICHMOND: A SHOW TOWN. Richmond has, had a dozen good shows following in close succession. These shows are for the most part the same as those which come to towns much larger. It is a significant fact that these shows have all been well attended, although they came in rapid succession. It is only fair to point out thatthe old cry that Richmond is a dead town and not a show town is untrue to present conditions. It undoubtedly Is true that Richmond will not support poor companies and moth eaten shows., but that is to its credit. In reality it speaks well for the town's discrimination. The moment the city of Richmond patronizes everything without regard to what it is with the appetite of an ostrich swallowing nails, pebbles and other delicacies without regard to what they are we shall not have good attractions. It is quite important that good things shall be appreciated both by attendance and applause as that bad things shall be discouraged. The publie's demand creates its own supply. There is no doubt that Richmond is a good show town when there are good attractions. FORUMOFTHEPEOPLE The election on the local option law in Wayne county Feb. 5 was a revelation and a surprise to many people. It was generally expected, even by some of the whisky advocates that the result would be in favor of the law, or the discontinuance of the saloons in the whole county. ' When the returns were given not only the people of Wayne county but of the whole - state were astounded that the "wets' had won by a majority of 750. When the vote was analized however, it showed that every township outside of Wayne township or Richmond Jiad voted "dry by a majority

of nearly 1,100. This places the re-

tponalbillty wholly upon Richmond. That the city of Richmond should cast a majority of 1.800 in favor of the saloons is the darkest page upon its entire history and should make every true patriot of his home city's best interests for honor and sobriety, hang bis bead in shame and sorrow. The election reveals a number of things never shown before. First, it places Richmond in the attitude of being opposed to the rest of the county upon one of the most vital questions that could come before it. This is sad, because it concerns every home in the land. It cannot by any possible construction be held alone by the local interests of Richmond. It necessarily involves the interests of the whole county. Second, it proves that the republican party in Wayne county can never again make any claim to being the temperance party. The shame of the election Increases when we remember how earnestly temperance men have labored to bring the question before the people in a non-partisan way and when they succeeded in doing so as in the recent election, to have it defeated by a republican city by nearly 1,800 votes, and in a county which is overwhelminly republican on all political issues. Hardly a city of equal size in the state of Indiana or elsewhere, has borne so high a reputation for fine churches, excellent schools and its business stability and honor. It has appeared to be the general belief and expectations both in and outside the county that the election would favor the discontinuance of the saloons But. alas, how surprising the mis take. The whole state where the reputa tion of Wayne county was known is dumbfounded that the wets won at all, and especially by so large a majority. They had not properly estimated the power and influence of beer and whis key in the city of Richmond. Many theories are being advanced in explanation of the cause of such a humiliating result. More than one thing may have had an influence, Possibly the immaculate character given to the local saloonkeepers by some of the newspapers and a few orominent citizens may nave bad a slight , influence. (I should hate to believe that it had such.) One could imagine from their description of them, budding wings and halos of righteousness about their heads. It has caused much sarcastic comment over the state and some one has ask ed if the saloons In Richmond opened with prayer and closed with the long meter doxology. But right thinking people who have carefully analized the vote, have little hesitation in believing that by far the strongest factor was the action and voting of the business men of Rich mond. There is no other explanation for so large a majority, If the vote was an honest one. Everyone who has a personal knowledge of the business men of Richmond must admit that a very large proportion of them are men of high character; many are members of religious denominations and not a few very active in church. Sabbath school and philanthropic work. In a strict analysis of whether the saloon was a good thing in building up the moral character and business honor and integrity of the city was concerned, they would vote by an im mense majority. No. The argument that the absence of the saloons would increase taxation is so fallacious on the face of so many proofs that it does not increase them is hardly worth repeating to any one who has studied the facts. To say that "blind tigers' would multiply and be worse than the saloons is an imputation against every court of jus tice, grand jury, officer of the law, and law abiding citizen. What then, was the chief factor? It was this, the business men of Rich mond were afraid that it would lessen their profits in trade. It became question of dollars and cents and not morals. Their pocket books were more sensitive than their consciences They made a compromise with hell and voted for the saloon. They ar rayed themselves on the side of and in favor of the brewers and distillers. The whole situation is little less than an insult to the temperance peo ple of Wayne county. It proves that the business interest of Richmond has greater fear of loosing the patronage of the "wets" than of the "drys." If this is to be a fight for dollars in Stead of morals, why not the temper ance people organize and meet it on the same grounds? "Fight fire with fire." Every township outside of Wayne voted "dry" then why not buy every thing possible in the home towns, dry goods, groceries, hardware, boots and shoes and everything that can be pur chased at home. If necessary to buy in Richmond go to those who voted for temperance, for there were a few who stood true in the fight for right eousness and good government. What a spectacle! When bankers say, "we cant afford to do without the saloons," when merchants and others, who are church members Christians (so-called) workers in Sabbath school, leaving their places of business and working for the wets on election day. Professors in college and teachers in public schools and even ministers of the gospel fin name) standing and exerting their influence on the side of the saloon. n seems naraiy possible that so many voters who personally are temperate, even teetotalers and belive that from a moral standpoint the sa loon is an accursed thing, should do such violence to their inner convictions as to make it a Question of pol icy and dollars. Like Judas, sell themselves for thirty pieces of silver or Esau for a mess of pottage. Very caustic editorials have appeared in Richmond papers against the prospective candidacy of Dr. W. w. Zimmerman for mayor, I have no personal knowledge of his previous administration, but if he gave the sa loons a "free hand' and held the "lid loosely, why not elect him for anoth er term? It would be perfectly consistent. By the recent, election the people of Richmond have declared in a very positive way that the saloon j

Is a good thing. If not a good thing why did you vote for it. Then If the

saloon is a good thing an Increased sale of whisky and beer would be a good thing. An enlarged business should increase the prosperity of every city. " If Dr. Zimmerman H not satisfac tory why wouldn't that expert politi cal "tumbler and flip-flop" Walter Ratllff.make a good mayor. In the light of the recent election he would be a very consistent official for mayor of the city. But the situation is too serious to be flippant and let us believe or hope at least that Wayne county may yet be redeemed and saved from tiae curse of Intoxicating liquors. When Daniel Webster compromised himself on the slavery question, the poet Whlttier wrote a poem entitled "Ichabod," which describes the de parted glory of the great statesman. Some of the same verses with slight changes might fitly apply to Rich mond at the present time. "So fallen! So lost! the light with drawn Which once she wore! The glory from her past has gone Forevermore. Revile her not The Tempter hath A snare for all; And pitying tears not scorn and wrath Befits her fall. "O dumb be passion's stormy rage When she who might Have lighted up and led her age Falls back in night. There pay the reverance of old days, To her dead fame; Walk backward, with averted gaze, And hide her shame." NEW GARDEN. TOBACCO SECRETS. Turkish and Viralnian Leafs Are Varieties of the Same Plant. How many people even among the most confirmed smokers know what is the difference between Turkish anJ Virginia tobaccos? The smoker, of course, can tell yon which is which at the first whiff, but if you ask him what the original distinction is between the two he will tell you that one comes from Turkey and the other from the States. He Is wrong. You could grow Turkish and Virginia tobaccos in the same field, for they are merely two different varieties of the same plant. Turkish is the leaf of Nicotians rustics, while Virginia is Nicotians augustipolia. Of course the two are often blended by tobacconists. Again, what constitutes the difference between "strong" and "mild" tobaccos? It is simple enough. The strong product Is so manufactured that it burns slowly, the result being that the contained nicotine is distilled in an unaltered state. Mild tobaccos are those which burn well, and thus their contained nicotine is consumed or decomposed, with the result that a less narcotic smoke is formed. We often hear cheap cigars spoken of as "cabbage leaves," and doubtless many people believe that these are actually adulterated with other substances than tobacco. Often in such a weed the outside wrapper is noticed to be patched with pale green, and this fact is held proof of the cabbage leaf libel. The piece of greenish leaf is real tobacco which has been plucked unripe or not properly cured. It is only to be found in thin, poor leaf. London Express. USE OF FRENCH WORDS. A Praetlce That Does Wot Help the Ena-lish Uncuagt. Why do people persist in using French words when there are good old English words to serve the purpose! It is a habit that is growing daily. For instance, at dinner people give you "menu" instead of "bill of fare," though the items are such English dishes as boiled cod, roast beef and apple tnrt. One is accommodated with a serviette instead of a napkin, an English word, but originally of French origin, as is the Scotch word napery, used for household linen. When you enter a shop you are served with corsets instead of stays, costumes by a costumiere instead of dresses by a dressmaker. "Blouses" take the place of shirts or waists, and hose are offered for stockings. The former word is, however, English. At the theater we have programmes instead of playbills and matinees in place of afternoon performances. Toques are adjusted with as much ease as hats, and we eat in a restaurant as cheerfully as in a dining room. There are, of course, untranslatable words which must be used, but our good old English language is rapidly becoming a hotchpotch of foreign words, while telegraphy is doing its best to oust all the crisp and racy Saxon speech. Whenever possible let us determine to use an English instead of a French word, both in literature and conversation. London Graphic. Teacher (studying about fowls) Mary, what is an egg?

No Advantage to Him. A man who was always more or less hard up boasted one day, with a smile, that he was to have a big raise in salary the following week. One of his friends approached him next day and asked If it was so. "Yes, it's so, bat it don't do me any good." "How's that?" inquired his friend. "Well, yon see, I talk in my sleep, and my wife has found out about it." '" The Mountain. Each builds his world forever, dark or briffht. And sits within bis separate universe.

An Impromptu Pun. An Impromptu pun afterward to become permanent in the play is attributed to Charles Mathews.

Mathews was alone on the stajre puzzling over the best way of dealing with a diScu'ty. lie decides that he ought to take an important step Immediately. His soliloquy fiuisbes by saying to himself and the audience, with a puzzled exprestion of countenance: "Yes. that's what I ouht to do, and it is what I will do. But how?"

He glittered with gold embroidery and great diamonds. But I pitied him sincerely, for he was strange to our table manners, and some of his errors were both ludicrous and painful. Toward the dinner's end a servant extended to the young man a plate of toothpicks. He waved the plate away, saying in a low and bitter voice. 'No, thank yoa.

There were some three or four lare roaches scurrying about the room, and they attracted lite attention. "I am very fond of roaches." he said. "Once In my own home I found a roach struggling in a bowl of water. I took a half walnut shell and put him in it. It made a good boat. I gave him a couple of toothpicks for oars. Next morning I saw that he bad fastened a bxlr to one of the toothpicks and had evidently been fishing. Then, overcome with exhaustion, he had fallen asleep. The sight moved me. I took him out, washed him, gave him a spoonful of boiled egg and let him go. That roach never forgot my kindness, and now my home is full of roaches." Thetr Hard Luck. Oue of Phil May's sketches portrays a thin, hangdog man in the prisoners' dock talking to a very mild and sympathetic looking Judge. Mr. May's story of the sftetcb is that the prisoner had been dragged before the Judge every few months for a number of years. "Your face is familiar here," the latter now said. "It is, your honor. wore luck," returned .he prisoner. "Are you married yet?" "ot yet, Fir." "Not yet. eh? How lore is It now that you have been enp;red?" "Sev;n years, your honor." "So !.ng as that? Why iu the world haven't you got married in all that timer "Because, your honor, the prisoner explained. "Ann nnd I hnven't mann"e3 to be both out of jail at the same time." SelF Deception.

A woman who Is fairly prominent in Philadelphia social circles is blessed if it Is a blessing with a very high and vivid color which, when she has been walking fast. looks almost as though it were artiiiclal. One day she had walked briskly down Chestnut street, and her cheeks were very red. Two workmen were painting the front of one of the stores, and as she passed one of them said loudly enough for the words to reach her ears: "Painted, be hiveur "Yes, exactly," said the lady calmly. "Painted, and by heaven." She Earned the Sixpence. A man had been In the habit of getting his tea at a certain London restaurant for many years without any cause for complaint. Lately an Irish waitress, new to the job, was employed at the place, and from lack of experience she Invariably brought the liquid refreshment with the most part of it in the saucer. This the gentleman could stand no longer. "Look here, Bridget," said he on evening, "If you bring my tea tomorrow without spilling a drop in the saucer I'll give you sixpence for yourself." "All roigbt, sorr." replied Bridget. "Ol will do that, sorr." The following evening the gentleman appeared and gave bis order as usual. Imagine bis surprise when a moment or two later the girl was observed wending ber way toward biro carrying a plate of bread In one band and a cup of tea In the other. - "And what bas become of the saucer.

Workcra and Thinkers. We are always In these days endeavoring to separate intellect and manual labor. We want one man to be always thinking and another to be always working, and we call one a gentlemsn nnd the other an operative, whereas the workman ought often to be thinking and the thinker often to be working, and both should be gentlemen In the best sense. As It Is, we make both ungentle, the one envying, the other despising bis brother, nnd the mass of society is made up of morbid thinkers and miserable workers. John Raskin. Not a Fragrant Flower.
