THE LEADER.

Senator Beverldge is the logical leader of the Indiana republicans and

few deny it. Beyerldge is sUU a vaunt- man. It Is natural that like

all other men he has made mistakes

of. judgment and has suffered the con-

sequence. But the fact still remains

that of all the office holders and pub

lic servants he looms up with more

character and with higher Ideals than

most men engaged In politics In the

state.'

It Is true that the Beverldge of toflay Is not the same Beverldge of ten years ago, or yesterday. He has changed for the better. No man has ever brought a charge of real weight Dt graft or corruption against him

Bo usual thing in a political life. These) things his maturity and his honesty, make him indeed - a good leader. At last Beverldge has come out in the open where he Is not hampered with the deeds of other men. He is one of the three men from the republican party in congress he is untrammeled. For this reason his keynote speech at the Editorial association at Indianapolis last week is particularly, interesting. . Here is what we must expect the battles of the republican party to be fought out on. Every word that Beverldge said the other night can be indorsed by any honest re-, publican. The very insistence on the fact that the party must exist for the people and the organization for vthe party that every man' must have his show; that the party must-be progressive in all things these are the only plans: the only foundations on which to build for the success of the party and the good of the people showed that there Is hope for a new era In Indiana. It is no shame to any man to follow a leader with these sentiments If his works do not give the lie to his words. The speech of Beverldge was excellent in every particular because It had the ear marks of honesty. -. ' While the standard of the republi

can party is blazoned with the words

Truth, Honesty, Fairplay and Pro-

gresslveness. and the acts of those who are the party's representatives bear out the motto, the party has

nothing to fear.

Senator Beverldge has used much of late the phrase "The old order changeth giving place to that which

Is new." If he give us the deed as

welUae the word, it will place him

evenhlgher in the estimation of the

Kpeople- oflndiana than he is now.

Mr. Timothy Nicholson, when he said

shortly before the campaign of ; the

recent election closed, thai the saloonlsts of this city were and are law

abiding. That this is the case many people have doubted all over the state,

wbere saloon conditions are abominable and the word of a saloon keeper is of the same status as that of a per

jurer.

It these resolutions of the saloon

keepers are enforced they can rest assured that their efforts not only

have not been in vain but that they have been appreciated.

There is one thing which we hope the men engaged in( the movement will not overlook. The public unfor

tunately does not discriminate ordinarily between the law abidlns man

and the wide open one, when the lat

ter variety disobeys the law. To make

this as effective as possible every saloon keeper in the country should be forced into - the association and made to obey the law or forced out of business. Otherwise the good citizens among the liquor dealers will

bear the onus of the one or two black

sheep.

in each Instance. I can't see where :

we have any kick coming. ;Tba law was passed to give the people of each county an opportunity to say wet or

dry." No one was forcibly kept away from the polls and the majority of the voters in the county said "wet" And the majority must rule. Are we

who voted for Watson going: to boycott our democratic friends because

we got defeated. Small talk, this boycotting business. When a question is settled at the polls, where each and every voter has a chance to vote as he so desires and where the majority Is such, that there can be no ques

tion of who wins, then the vanquish

ed should "take their medicine like

little men." Has not the business

men in Richmond the same right to

vote as he pleases as the business

men in Fountain City or in Economy?

We think so. Unless the law is re

pealed we can get another vote on

this Question in two years.' It will

not take long for this to roll around

And in the meantime, would it not be much better for us drys to go to our wet brother, greet him with a hearty shake of the hand and try to show our erring brother where he is wrong? Our Savior once said "Let he that is without sin cast the first

stone." , Yours. : ' FOUNTAIN CITY.

THE LATEST BATTLE OF FIGHT

. INQ BOB. V

"Fighting Bob" Evans has not fought his last fight. He Is engaged In an active scrap just at present with the ' lecture bureau on the ' one hand,

and the Navy League on the other.

The Navy League follows him all around the country with two men and a mass of printed literature and

gives a handout of literary ' sand

wiches before the piece de resistance

which Bob has to offer.

This happens with slight variations

after Bob's show is over and Bob does

not worry about it at all. but continues to draw his pay envelope containing $600 without any more agita

tion than he displayed during the

civil war when he drew a gun on the surgeon who tried to cut his leg off in the hospital. But behold the sensitive nerves of the lecture bureau got trampled on when it discovered that it was paying the admiral for doing what he dearly loved tou tease the League. Then it bucked. So fighting has begun again on the high sea of publicity. The dignity of the navy has not

profited by the episode though, perhaps the bank account of Bob Evans has which no man should begrudge a half pay officer. The modesty of Admiral Sperry and the splendid per

formances ' of the navy both under him and Evans are all. that keeps the Charge of bureaucratic from occupying serious consideration.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near

It is a significant fact that the

names Of Joslah Flynt and Frances E. Willard should he on the lips of men today. The one was a thorough hobo

and a" habitual whisky drinker as his recently published autobiography

shows the other whose birthday Is

celebrated today was the world's foremost temperance reformer the lead

er for many years of the W. C. T. U.

to warrant the assertion that this Is the first example In the state and nation of euch action, but it is almost

remarxanie enough to risk such a

statement.' -..!: This Is directly In line with an edl

try. Not only the closing laws and

those which apply to the sale of liquor

to minors but the rigid enforcement of the laws against selling liquor with

out a license, especially in dry terri

tory, should be a field In which the

saloon men can do great good.

It Is the one hope of the saloon keep-

when .all the eyes In the state are

centered on the city of Richmond and

propriate that the liquor dealers should have shown their willingness

of tie eminent temperance worker,

Yellow Literature.

From the Boston Globe Yellow

journalism is now a thins of the past or has faded to a mild ecru shade be

side the saffron hue of many books

and magazines. The jaundiced maga-

zinist spatters his color with a reckless abandon. You can almost feel

the chrome tints spatter on your face

as you scan his quarantine effusion

You cannot get by him. Epithet,

metaphor and analogy are mixed into one chromatic mass on his palette and then slammed against his canvas with the splurge of a barker at a circus sideshow. To say he indulges in exaggeration is to speak tamely. He piles Pelions of .hyperbole on Ossas

of turgescence. If his colors do not scream loud enough to arrest your attention he bludgeons you with his figurative mahlstick Into noticing their prismatic effects. ,

over him. He hastily searched for his

watch and found it twenty minutes after two.

Imagine how you would feel if you

really cared about taking a young lady

to the theater. That's the way the young man felt.

The next day the phone was put in

to commission.

'If I told you that there was a sud

den and important business engagement which called me out of town you wouldn't believe me. would you?"

No."

'If I told you that my grandmother

died last night and I couldn't possibly

take you to the show I suppose you

wouldn't believe that either would

you :

"If I told you that I was taken sud

denly and violently ill with ptomaine poisoning, scarlet fever and smallpox

you wouldn't forgive me, would

you?" ."No."

"But suppose I told you that I went to sleep and didn't wake up would

you believe me and forgive me then."

"Well, I'll think It over. You aw ful creature. I hate you." "Goodbye." 1 "Good bye." fwr;i:

The Spectator was walking the other afternoon with a young business man who has a great deal of business

with the rural districts.

"Did you ever think," asked the

Spectator, "of the different entrances

to the city?" "No," said the Other, "There cant be more than three or four." "That Is because you haven't thought about it," said the Spectator. "Oh," said the Other, "there must be twenty." "Not at all," said the Spectator, "You will find that there are from ten to a dozen according as you consider them real entrances or not." The other wondered and then fell to counting on his fingers.

The 'Spectator being an impractical

person, meanwhile bubbled on. He compared the roads to the old-Roman roads and jumped from city gates of mediaeval towns to the Parisian fortifications which have been turned into boulevards. The Other paid no attention he was still counting on his fingers.

Arkansas. From the Boston Herald Why should congress be memorialized to fix the pronunciation of Arkansas?

Wouldn't a special message from the white house fix it?

Washington Birthday. From the Pittsburg Gazette The fact that there was nobody around

to relate personal reminiscences of G. W. added to the pleasure of the occa

sion. , Not Tod' Much. From the Toledo Blade Mr. Taft Is going to fltart right. His inaugural address will contain only 5,000 words.

Editor Palladium:)

There has been so - much said in The Forum" about the "wet" and

the "dry" that it seems as thouah

there was but little left unsaid. But

through it all, I have not yet seen anything that just seemed to say "Them's my sentiments." But perhaps I am like the juryman that said "The jury contains eleven of the contrarlest men

he over seen."

Now, I voted dry, and will only be

too glad to . have another chance to vote the same way .again. But what

is the use of whining about it. This talk of boycotting; r Richmond is all

Shirt Talks-No. 3

To the CM Bayers cf Ccsfca rJrde Stirts For years you have purchased your shirts out of town or perhaps thru some local man who represents an out of town factory good enough, the last is better than the first, but wait, here is the latest or best way. Buy at home, and keep your money in Richmond. To be sure it you buy thru a local man you keep a part of the money here, but the largest part goes to the factory or manufacturers. For instance you buy of the Phoenix Shirt Co. and you are not only keeping your money at home, but you help give employment to people of Richmond. We are now employing 8 people and shall, with your help. Increase the number. You may szy. you know you can be lit by the party who has supplied ' your wants in this line. That does not weigh much with us for we guarantee a fit, also satisfaction. Not only that, we can convince, you that we gite you a better grade material for the money Why? Just because we do not have the great amount of expense attached to the manufacturing, such as. light, rent, etc. Again you may say the workmanship Is not as good. Again we challenge you. We have in our employ a man who comes highly recommended by Chicago and Indianapolis shirt factories. But he has only recommendations; the only positive way we can convince you that we are turning out the goods is for you to give us a trial. Say, you have your measure taken and select a $1.50 shirt for triaL If It comes to you and is not what you ordered or does not lit, you can not have it. because we begin our dealings with a guarantee and stand by it. Once we get your measure, we keep It and if at any time you want another shirt, simply pick out the pattern and well deliver the shirt. We invite inspection of our factory and are glad to have you call at any time. Awaiting your pleasure, we are Respectfully,

Not long ago a young fellow had an engagement with a young lady to go to the theater. As the young fellow had been working . hard that day he thought he would take a little beauty nap before dressing. Which he did. He awoke out of a quiet snooze with a rested feeling and pursued his personal beautification. While he was shaving a dreadful consciousness stole
