that south these are the main subJects; .: V , f TarlfC-revIslon will doubtless be the ferorto of the next congress and the revision of the Sherman act will occupy Its attention later. " In all these Mr. Taft will participate and will mold as far as an executive can. But in one thing alone mentioned in his address, will he have a solution to work out by himself and for himself. That is the matter of Southern patronage. The query raised by. Mr. JTaft as to whether It really does the negro cause any good to put members' of its race in federal positions in the South on account of the animosity which it stirs up is almost the first time this question has been considered in . public by those who have had patronage to distribute. The nicety of judgment shown in this opinion on the problem which ha3 vexed Americans from Lincoln's time on, is a good omen for the other questions which Mr. Taft will have to solve. This view of the race problem is so ( sane that it brings hope to the controversies of labor and capital, the Japanese situation, and all. the phases of the trusts. It is not that the negro question above mentioned, is the one above all

ethers that will engage Mr. Taft' a

- time, but the attitude of the man in , solving a vexed question which makes this treatment a key 1 to his future work. ! It Is like a prelude to the drama, which is about to begin, which prepares the spectators for what is to follow. ' 'K - Inthe last campaign we heard much f the "clinching" of the Roosvelt policies, which Mr. Taft is expected to perform. No one can read his message without being impressed with the fact" that he has borne this in mind in preparing his inaugural. It Is this which we are to be prepared for, but the American public will doubtless be surprised as many times under Taft's regime as it was under bis predecessor's.

THE BUNCOMBE CLUB. The Washington Star predicts that the dissolution -of the Ananias club will result in the organization of the Buncombe Club. It says: The Ananias club, it appears, is to be dissolved. Its life will terminate with the administration under which It was created. Shall it have a successorthat is, an organization fixing attention by reason of the talents and achievements of its members in a particular line? There Is a suggestion to this effect, though far from a happy one. Certainly ! the Buncombe Club would not ippropriately follow the Ananias club. They do not spell the same thing. The Ananias club, though with, a distinguished membership, has been a small arganizatlon. Men have not presented themselves early to avoid a rush. But a Buncombe Club?;' It-would ex ceed in numbers all other clubs, social, political Or 'religious. . V Men would crowd its portals, and shortly the distinguished; politician would be one .who lid not, instead of one who did, belong ott. ' . Politicians have always been overibused. Even in Englislv-epeaklng countries, where fair play and conservfeata. characterize the game politics Is oftea. held up as a pitfall. , Temptaioas. It 1 asserted, present themselves ml atery taaac and to overreach, to

plggle, to shuffle and to trick the other

fellow if necessary, need give no player pause. In the loose talk of curbstone circles, to "lie like a politician"' Jong has figured on even terms with to swear, like a sailor, to roar like a lion, to sing like a bird a thing done natually and to the queen's taste. ' But the great majority of politicians are not justly described in the phrase. They are pretty fair, men, take them as a rule, and work for good things by decent methods. Some lie, of course, and do it well, but are net proud of it, and prefer not to have it mentioned when theif gif Us are catalogued for a curious public. Buncombe is something else altogether. It Is not new, and not disreputable. We know it better today under the name of jolly. The orator addressing the crowd, the visitor to the high official seeking office, the diplomat resenting- his credentials, all indulge in buncombe. In its best estate it is a species of politeness. Any experienced person Is able easily to trim down such an address and get at the real size of the question. It is to be doubted if we could do public business today In an entirely satisfactory man ner without the use of buncombe. Judge Taft is just assuming functions which will develop buncombe to the full in .all who approach him. And more than that. He may have, in pure self defense, to use a little of the article .'himself. Like begets like. Pleasant communications affect good manners. The man who sees everybody trying to be agreeable to him such a man particularly as Judge Taft Is moved by the same spirit toward them. Before he knows it, he himself is a master of buncombe, and showing the way to others. A Buncombe Club, therefore, would be unwleldly as to size, and Judge Taft should not think of creating such an organisation unless he is willing to accept the presidency of it, and add it to the presidency of the United States. COUNTY LOCAL OPTION AGAIN. Whatever comments are made on the defeat by the state senate of the county local option repeal bill it must be remembered that the majority of these men are republicans. The state republican platform of last spring was unequivocal in its statements for the present law. To have disregarded that platform would not only have been bad politics but a clear admission of the insincerity -of the campaign pledges.' We have had a proof that county local option is the will of the majority although up to this time most of that majority, has been dry. Were there no other reason for prolonging the life of the bin it would be enough to try it out .to its ultimate end. In a few years we shall know whether or not a dry county is really dry or whether there are blind tigers ram pant. X This is reported and declared to be the reason why Richmond went wet. Why not get to the root of the matter by finding out which is right? To those liquor dealers all over the state the brewers included it might be mentioned that the time may not be so many years off when they will be glad to embrace county local option as an alternative to state wide prohibition. To liquor dealers everywhere in this day of agitation it must be borne In mind that their appeal should not be made to the liberal element -but to the conservative citizens and that this appeal shall be with manly and law abiding good citizenship. The course followed by the Richmond liquor dealers is the only one which makes for longevity of their trade as they have themselves testified. The cuarrel should not be with the republican senators for doing what was their obvious duty. ROOSEVELT'S FIRST EDITORIAL. If there is one thing more than another in which Mr. Roosevelt has always succeeded it is In the matter of being what magazine editors call "timely," and .what others with a liking for the full flavored phrases call "being hot off the bat." His two ad ministrations were one long proces sion of timely speeches and articles, some of them indeed arriving a little ahead of time for those who were en gaged in the diversion of picking the winner on the stock market. It is ; not surprising ; then that ' the first editorial by Mr. Roosevelt in tin Outlook should be timely in bearing directly on one of the last things which occupied his official and private thoughts the Press. It 'might almost seem that in every sentence he had placed before him the vision of the World and News as a horrible example which he wished td throttle. We have heard much in the last few months on the liberty of the press, but none of it has been quite of the wholesome character as the words of the Ex-President: "Every owner, editor or reporter of a conscientiously and ably conducted newspaper or periodical is an asset of real value to the whole community. It would be difficult to overestimate the amount of good which can be done by the men responsible for such a publi cation responsible for its editorial columns, responsible for its news columns, responsible for its general policy. We have many ' newspapers and periodicals, big and little, of this kind. But we also have many that are emphatically not of this kind." - MASONIC CALENDAR. .

Editor Palladium: Dear Sir Will you print this article in your paper and In as conspicuous a place, as you-did the article in your issue of March 1st in relation to the alleged fight In which the Reverend Mr. Walters bad a part? We regret that there is any foundation at all for the report which you printed. The statements In the article are gross exaggerations of the facts. It seems that the fact that parties are active temperance workers and were prominent in th recent local option campaign, has prompted the persons who furnished your reporters the alleged information, to greatly magnify the affair, and make a mountain of a mole hill, for the purpose of discrediting Reverend Walters by procuring the publication of the false statements to which he had no opportunity of reply ing or explaining. The fact is, that the Reverend Wal ters purpose throughout the affair was that of a peacemaker. He had no intention of engaging in a brawl. He was attempting to protect a man whoir he believed was likely to be injured, and Mr. Feemster says that Reverend Walters did not strike him at any time and there was nothing in the affair to the discredit of his character as a minister. The citizens of Cambridge City feel that they desire fair treatment and a fair statement of fact at your hands. and that th'ey have not received it. If the parties have broken the law in any respect they are willing to submit to the law. Neither of the parties have any unkind feeling toward the other, and we think that the feeling is general, that all the fair minded people here believe that the prosecution of the Reverend Walters would be uncalled for and unjust. The Reverend Walters throughout the two years of his ministry here has earnestly opposed violations of law. intemperance and the traffic in intoxicating liquors, and his efforts have been effective and have" aroused the hostility of the element which stands for those things, which he has opposed, and we believe that is what inspired the mis-statements that were made concerning him.

SUNDAY BASEBALL BILL T0BE A LAW Governor Marshall Refuses to Either Signer Veto the Measure. IS IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL? CHIEF EXECUTIVE INTIMATES THIS TO BE THE CASE IN SPE- ' CIAL MESSAGE COURTS MUST TEST THE POINT. Palladium Bureau, ' Indianapolis, March 5. The Sunday baseball bill will become a law without the signature ef Governor Marshall, and if will remain a law at least until the courts declare It unconstitutional. Governor Marshall made this decision yesterday evening and sent a message to the house containing that information. The governor declined to 'either sign or veto the bill. He said he had already vetoed one bill of the kind and the fact that the legislature had immediately passed another similar bill indicated to him that the legislature would probably pass this bill over bis veto. He said he had in a previous message explained his views on the question of Sunday baseball. He had said that he was opposed to Sunday games, but that he did not care to inflict his personal views further on the legislature. Views of Governor. The new bill, he said, he believed to be unconstitutional for the reason that while baseball is amusement for the public, there is a great amount of manual labor In it for the ones who furnish the amusement. But he said be decided not to veto the bill the second time for fear that the people might say he was basing his veto on his personal views alone. He said that while the people alternately applaud and criticise the legislature and the governor there is one branch of the state government to .which all citizens bow in perfect submission, and that is the judiciary. He said he felt that it was the duty of the judiciary of the state to determine once for all whether or not Sunday baseball is constitutional, and for that reason he would allow the bill to become a law without Cl'RU KKKKCTKD r MO.MSY HEFUXDRD.
