TWINKLES Easily Solved. "Are you not alarmed by the destruction of trees?" asked the forestry expert. "Certainly not," answered the serene statesman. "If we find a scarcity of shade the ladies can be provided ;with still larger hats." Drawing the Line. ;Tis true that all the world's a stage; But if we wore the costumes bold' Which in playhouses are the rage A lot of people would take cold. Those Elaborate Defenses. "Would you shoot a man who assailed your veracity?" "No," answered the peaceful citizen. "I'd rather take a chance on his personal opinion than go before a jury with a story that might convince the general public that he was right." Convenience. "Dat new neighbor has his place arranged mighty cozy an convenient," said Miss Miami Brown. "Ya8'm, answered Mr. Erastus ( Pinkley. '.'Da's 'bout de mos conven- ' lentes' place I knows of. He's got de chicken coop right nex to de back fence, an" de watermelon patch nex' to de chicken coop." : ." 1 Economically Considered. "So you doubt the authenticity of these stories about seeing ghosts?" "What's the use of worrying about the matter?", rejoined the practical person. "Ghosts were never sufficiently popular to cause any danger that the demand would be in excess of the supply." Items Gathered in From Far and Near "Rear Car for Ladies." From the New York Herald. Truly this age belongs to women Listen to those loud outcries about tariff taxed hosiery that are making congress tremble! and look at the "Rear Car for Ladies" to and from New Jersey. : We opine that this iinovation, starting ' on the Hudson tunnel system and threatening to spread to the Interborough will soothe many a troubled spirit. ' Men may be glad that the question of giving up seats to the other sex does not intrude. Women will rejoice that they can discuss in their subaqueous Journey the lighter themes of life and not be obliged to listen to weighty debates on politics or "Jack" Johnson. Incidentally the male passengers will get more room by the exclusion of feminine headgear with the menacing fringe of hatpins. And to the women may come relief from those uncomfortable persons who gaxe and ogle and gaze again at every attractive face. Inasmuch as the segregation is not compulsory it may prove a success. Certainly the traveling public will watch the experiment with great interest, for - who knows where the next classification might cut? The President's Salary. From the Japan Mail. The house of representatives, according to & telegram from the Nical Nichi Shimbun's New York correspondent, has refused to indorse the senate's proposal for doubling the salary of the president. The present amount is 100.000 yen, and the senate voted to double it, but the house of representatives has decided to increase by only 50 per cent, namely, to 150,000 yen. The representatives are Quoted as saying that a salary of 150,000 should amply suffice to maintain the dignity of the presidential position. From an English point of .view the Americans cannot be accused of excessive generosity in this matter. The chief magistrate of the great republic has hitherto been receiving one-fifth of the salary paid to the Viceroy of India. . Barring Out Opium. From the Chicago Record-Herald. A law passed by congress during the winter session prohibits the importa- - tion of opium into this country except for medicinal purposes, and, the secretary of the treasury has Issued regulations n which it is declared that the .term "opium ahall cover all forms of the drug. This is convincing evidence that the United States government sees damer la tbe possible spread of

THE BEST MAN FOR THE PARTY AND THE PARTY FOR THE BEST MAN Doubtless some men may think it 6trange that a party paper should 'i take a part in the" primary. We can assure those who decry this on the ground of precedent that the thing is by no means unheard of in other parts of the country. In fact, it is the rule in all large cities load is being recognized as a salutary reform in politics everywhere. And the reason is simple and easily understood. . The candidate Is selected at the primary 1 Not afterwards. . What Is the use to wait until the primary is ove an ten raise a howl that the party did not nominate the right man? After the selection has been made what is the use of saying anything, when it is too late to change it? Before the nomination every aspirant is responsible for his own candidacy only. After the nomination the whole party is responsible for the successful candidate. The whole party must put all its fortunes in the wisdom of the party's choice at the primary. The only choice at the election is to bolt the ticket or not to bolt the ticket. Thus it is that the candidate must be a man who can get the support of enough of a percentage of the men of his party to be elected. Otherwise the party, will be hopelessly broken up into factions. There is only one way to strengthen the party, and that is to settle on a strong man who can be elected. The "independent" vote has largely been the outgrowth of the fact that the parties have not selected and nominated men who would be supported after the nomination. Is it the policy of the party to drive men out of the party and even to the support of the opposing candidate on the other ticket; or is the better plan to have a man who will not only receive the full vote of his party, but who may get some of the votes from the other side? In this particular case you may rest assured that the democrats are desirous of seeing a man nominated by the republicans whom the republicans will not support, in the hope that we will have a democratic major. The democrats will not bolt the ticket. Many republicans have already done so. This la all the more reason why the republicans should nominate a man whom they can all unite on. If then the selection of a candidate at the primary is of such vital interest to the welfare of the party, is it such a crime, is it wrong to tell th9 people good sound reasons which they may weigh and think over before casting their votes? We have not said: "You must, because we say so." We have only said: "These are the reasons which we ask you to think over." The thinking man does not object he welcomes reasons on which to think. And if he has already thought of those reasons where is our crime in giving those reasons before the primary? The primary is the place to strengthen the party. It is the party paper's duty to v.ork where, in its opinion, it will strengthen the party. In this we can only be guided by our own opinion not by that of a democratic paper or an independent paper.

It is our only wish for the republican party to nominate at the coming primary a man who can be elected. It is our only wish for the citizens of Richmond that they have a man who can and will give them the best administration possible. If these be unworthy opinions and wishes for the paper, we have yet to be convinced cf our unwisdom. At the primaries, then, we hope for the sake of the party that the republicans will offer to the voters of this community, by the expression of their wishes, a man who is untrammeled, under no obligations except to the citizens, who is capable to fill the position, who will devote his time to taking care of the city's business; a. man who will strengthen the party, who will not break it into factions, who has never repudiated his party and whom his party has never repudiated. Such a man can be elected when nominated. Such a man will strengthen the party. - That is the reason The Palladium has taken a part in this primary. We want a man whom the party won't have to repudiate. We want a man whom the party won't want to repudiate. - We want a man whom the party will cordially support.

Hence, the best man for the party its habitual use in any of its forms, and the dispatches say in particular that smoking opium will be seized and destroyed as an illegal importation. Our Home Gunners. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat The coast artillery companies at Fort Washington, Md., claim the world's record in mortar firing, having hit a target moving at the rate of five miles an hour six times in ten shots at a distance of from 4,000 to 6,000 yards and the ten shots were fired in less than six and one-half minutes. With marksmanship reduced to an exact science the leviathan battleships will have to be wary. The Ideal Republic. From the Chicago Record-Herald. The ideal republic will be achieved when everybody can govern and nobody will be governed. FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE Articles Contributed for This Column Must Not Be in Excess of 400 Words. The Identity of All Contributors Must Be Known to the Editor. Articles Will Be Printed in the Order Received. For an individual to conduct a choir for a term covering twenty-five years, means a great deal more than the mere passing of time. It means at least one night a week for rehearsal. It means a great deal of extra work for special services and occasions. It means Sabbath morning and evening every Sabbath in the year. Figure this up and think of the sacrifice that has been made by one engaged in the work. The church to which Mr. Nusbaum belongs is certainly favored, for firt of all he is naturally a musician of ability and a close student, and his splendid services in connection with the services at the Reid Memorial church Sabbath afternoons prove that he has kept abreast with the times. It is rarely we find a busy man as we know Mr. Nusbaum is, who will sacrifice himself and take the time after a busy day's work to devote to the elevation of music in the church, and best of all to do it without the slightest financial remuneration. Too often, the carelessness of the members of th congregation, and citizens generally, fail to give the encouragement which congratulations and a hearty hand shake carry to men engaged in giving time and talent so liberally for the benefit and enjoyment of their fellow men. Mr. Nusbaum has not only kept the music of his church in the front ranks with that of any other church in the city during his entire career as director, but has also found time to identify himself with almost all the important musical events in the city daring j this time. At the present time he is

also finding time to direct the Apollo Club, which is composed of sixteen men who are also about as busily en gaged as Mr. Nusbaum, and the loyalty these men have Bhown their director is also a testimonial to his fitness for the position. The services the Apollo Club has rendered on a number of city events is also a testimonial that he has lost none of his cunning as a director. Mr, Nusbaum does not pose as a pro fessional, preferring to stay in the rank and file where after all the work is done that has put Richmond on the map. musically speaking. To be sure Mr. Nusbaum is indebted to a host of young people who have supported him for no director can succeed without support of his chorus, but anyone that knows anything of chorus work, knows that it takes a master hand to hold and control a chorus. LIQUOR PEOPLE DEPENDING UPON THE VOTE TODAY (Continued From Page One.) ing to see to it that every man in the county that is able to vote shall vote before the polls close. It Is a fero cious battle. Has Many Saloons. Logansport has many saloons in fact, more than are usually found in a city of its size, and there has never been a time when a thirsty man could not get a drink there day or night. Sunday included. Logansport has had many murders traceable directly to liquor, and this is one of the reasons why the people of Ca3s county are Btirred up over the question. But there are more Toters in Logansport than there are in the entire county outside of the city, and it is conceded by everyone that the city will go wet by a large majority. The voters of Logansport outnumber those of the out-townships by 9S'. The wets Insist that this fact alone will assure them a safe majority at today's election, but the drys are claiming that the out-township will give such large dry majorities that they will overcome the wet lead in the city. Logansport is a great railroad .center and a large manufacturing city, employing many men, and it has always been counted as one of the most liberal and wide open towns in the state. It has not been so bad in the last few years as it used to be, but it is still a liberal stronghold. Politics Has Entered. Politics has entered largely into the situation in Cass county. The democratic leaders are charging that the calling of the ' election was ' a shrewd republican trick. The repub-

HARRIS!

HARRIS: Is free from all obligations save to the citizens of Richmond. Is a clean cut young business man. Has a generous fund of good, hard, common sense. HARRIS: Is in the race for mayor without any strings tied to him. He has made no promises or pledges to anyboay. He is under no obligation to any man or to any set of men. He is unrfer no obligations to any corporation. He is not the candidate of any clique class or interest. HARRIS: Is a young man of sterling qualities. He is firm, courageous and possessed of a sound discriminating judgment. He is a young man, but he is not an egotist. He does not think he knows it all. He believes in counselling and advising with all citizens who are interested in Richmond. HARRIS: Will devote all his time, his energies and his abilities to looking after the duties of his office. He will not devote his time after supper only but all his time to be ing mayor. He will not devote his time to man aging and editing a newspaper and devote what is left to the in terests of the taxpayers. He will not play mayor on the side. He will not devote what is left of his time after he has kept up a medical practice. The mayor's office in Mr. Harris' opinion is a big enough task for all the best energies of one man HARRIS: He knows that the way to keep his promises to the people is not to promise something or anything to somebody else first. He is content to do what the people think best for the city and not to boss them or to "run" the town. He is nobody's tool. He has no enemies to get even with. He is not trying to boss the politics of the community. He has no obligations to any set of men or any individuals. He is obligated only to his consci ence and to the people of Rich mond when he is elected. HARRIS: .1?' Will not have to be defeated. He has never repudiated his party. He has never been repudiated by his party. He will respect the fact that the mayor's office is the executive branoh of the city government. He will respect the fact that the council is the legislative branch. He will not attempt to tell councilmen as representatives of the people who elected them, what they must do. He will not dictate to council nor to the citizens of Richmond. He will stay on the job and not wander off to run a newspaper or to practice medicine. He can enforce the laws without fear or favor, because nobody else but the people own his time, his energies or his promises. Nobody has a string to him. licans have gone right ahead with their preparations for the election, and they have with them many democrats who thave worked to root out the saloons. These two . elections ought to just about show what may be expected in the rest of the liberal towns of the state when it comes to a show down at a local option election. If the wets carry Cass and Blackford counties then such counties as St. Joseph, Lake, Allen, Delaware, Madison and Vigo may also be counted reasonably in the wet column. But if these two counties vote themselves dry today, then the wets in these other counties may well have cause to fear the result when it comes their turn. Singing Mice of China. Chinamen are charmed by the sing ing of a peculiar breed, of mice, declar ed to be capable of producing vocal harmonies quite equal to those of tb canary.

CANDIDATES MOST

SUPPORT PARTY City Committee Will Frame a Rule Which Hits One Contestant. WILL PRACTICE ECONOMY COMMITTEEMEN DECIDE TO CUT DOWN ELECTION EXPENSES BY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF OF FICIALS. Candidates of the republican partj who will be chosen at the coming elec tion will be required to pledge their support to the nominees of the party, if one of the rules proposed by the city committee is adopted. This rule may have reflection toward at least one of the candidates, who now is running on the republican ticket, but, following1 the nomination of four years ago. re-i fused his support to the choice of the I party. ! To Reduce Expenses. The committee will endeavor to re duce expenses as much as possible, al though it is expected the actual cost of the campaign will be greater than ever before. As the result of the plan of economy, it is probable only one judge will be provided for each precinct, instead of two as heretofore. The sher iff will be permitted to act In cases of question, with the judge and inspector. With the money saved from the pay of the judges, it is proposed to provide ad ditional voting places. The intention is to have two places to vote in the seventh, fifth and fourth wards. Judgship Matter. The question of city judgeship will be permitted to go by default, so far as the committee is concerned. The matter will be left to the discretion of the city council. This will put the candidates for the office in a somewhat embarrassing position. Unless council acts before the date of the primary the candidates will be strictly on the fence. They will not want to contribute to the campaign expenses and make the race, not knowing whether the office will be continued, and unles3 they make the race at this time and have their names voted ' upon, they would have to stand the expense of a special election. The printing of the ballots will be one of the biggest items of expense as they will have to be different in each ward. The committee will meet tomorrow night to pass upon the proposed rules.

Copy.ight. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye LUTHER BURBANK. BENEFACTOREver hear of incorporating a man? That is what they have done with Lather Burba nk. the plant wizard incorporated him into the Luther Burbank Products company. They say corporations have no soul, but this corporation certainly has s soul the soul of Luther Burbauk. I Twenty-five years ago Mr. Burbana: came into public notice by his production of the potato which bears his name. In the years since he has wrought wonders in the perfection of plant life by his crossbreeding. lie has produced a plum with the taste and texture of a Bartlett pear. He has eliminated the thorn from many varieties of fruit and has produced a spineless cactus. There is scarcely a vegetable or fruit or flower ou which he has not made improvements. Of all these ' the dehorning of the cactus" is believed to be his greatest accomplishment. It is this latter feat la hybridization that has excited the interest of capi talists and led to the Incorporation of the company. They can easily see "millions In It." Already Mr. Burbank has developed several varieties of spineless cactus. some of the new varieties having the flavor of the cantaloupe and of the peach. The possibilities of this plant of the plains, now practically useless and a cumberer of the ground, are amazing. Mr. Burbank will turn the cactus into forage for cattle and will thus produce a fodder that will yield three or four times as much as the tasae grasses. That will literally make the desert blossom as the rose. No wonder moneyed men wsnt to put Mr. Burbank 00 a commercial basis. Like Edison, his mind is worth mil lions. But While the men of the markets see the potentialities of wealth in the won der working mind of Luther Bur bank the lover of bis kind sees more. lie sees in the future days myriad rooftrees where now there are none, cheaper food for the people, a world more blooming and bountiful, a race content, leisure for the higher things not the millennium, but the prepare tloo for the millennium. .All because of the gray matter in a big man's BRAIN PAN. .
