AS THE COURIER SEES IT,
Former Congressman Watson is not
to occupy the position of dictator to the new congressman from the Sixth,
district, Judge William O. Barnard, of
New Castle, according to one of the
near friends of both gentlemen, W. H Elliott, editor of the New Castle Corn
ier. Editor Elliott believes Watson
knows better than to meddle and Bar
nard knows enough, to recognize his
own rights.
The Courier speaks of the case as
follows:
In a paragraph under the head "Gos
sId of Politics and Politicians," in the
Indianapolis Sunday Star, there ap
peared the following: "The indications are that there will be some lively doings throughout the Sixth District
when It comes to naming postmasters.
The 'story goes that former Congressman Watson, at a recent conference
with Congressman Barnard, agreed up
on some of the men to be recommended
for county seat postmasters.
If an agreement has been reached be
tween Barnard and Watson as- to some
of the appointments, the fight is expected to have a strong bearing in the next , congressional race M the Sixth
District." The item then goes on to
enumerate possible candidates for con gross and lays stress on the probabili
ty of,a bitter struggle for the postmaa-
tership at Greenfield. , . Somebody, for ' some . purpose.
working hard at the proposition thin Mr. Watson, although no longer repro
sentihg this district in congress, yet
continues to dictate the political pat
ronaare therein, and that Mr. Barnard
meekly submits. . '
Whether the purpose is to bring Mr
Watson into contempt by chowlng him up as a meddler in -things that should
no longer concern him. or to make Mr
Barnard appear as lacking in apprecia
tion of the dignity and duties of his po
sition, is not a3 yet clearly discernible
but in either event it is unwarranted
and reprehensible.
! Mr. Watson fully understands that
he has no authority or responsibility concerning, the federal patronage of this district, and to presume that he would seek to assume' either is to accuse him of a lack of self-respect and decent regard for the dignity of the position recently vacated. On' the other hand, Mr. Barnard ha3 A clear conception of his duties and rights as a congressman, and has tae courage to perform and exercise them. Any effort to make the public believe otherwise is cowardly and despicable.

That the Associated charities has been appreciated by the poorer people
of the city, is shown in the annual reports made at the meeting yesterday afternoon at the headquarters, South
Firth street. There were 1,248 appeals for assistance during the year, but not all appeals were by different individuals, as many paid several calls

not represent that many individual
people, but the oft repeated calls by

than in previous years.
Much of this need was caused by j
the depressed condition of the busi
ness world, which deprived many men
willing to labor of the means of earning a living, many were compelled to
ask assistance who had never done so
before.
Our missionary has made 444 calls
in the homes of the unfortunate peo
ple, hearing the many sided trials ex
isting in their lives and in all cases
speaking words of advice, giving ma

plane of living and a better life in the Savior of mankind. Just here we must thank our efficient and faithful missionary who is never weary nor
discouraged, who labors on for the good of those whose lives she is so
much interested in. la Our Own Fault.

From the Harrisburg Telegraph.
Lieut. Shackleton has approached within 97 miles of the south pole.
That's doubtless near enough for all practical purposes. But these pole hunters are not practical. If they
were they'd stay at home running a
store or working for wages. Therefore, they will continue to strive for their prize until they get it, and then
long for other poles to concjuer.

"The financial condition is apparent in the treasurer's report. It will be
noticed that the balance is $32.0, bu
the bills due for the month of March
are $172.5J. Hence we are overdrawn
about $140. We must borrow thi.s
amount, and also provide for the
months yet before us. We call upon
the churches who have, as yet not re sponded to the full extent of their abil
ity, to do so without delay. This work
and responsibility belongs to all our
people, not only to a few persons. The burden is too great for a few members of the various churches to bear. This
matter should be attended to promptly
Including the amount that we must
borrow, and meet our necessary bills

churches not to delay this matter, and
there are no doubt many individuals,
who would be glad to do something.
Come to our help." Treasurer's Report.
Everyone Must Help.
While this is true, distress will only
be relieved, poverty will not be pre
vented. Until every public official, every citizen, every minister, every edu
cator awake to the conditions which
produce poverty, we shall have the
poor with us in great numbers.
May we hope for the time, when
more shall follow the example of the
ureat rmiantnroplst, who lived to
minister and not to be ministered un
to.
Attention is called to the treasurer's
annual report, following.
we are saa to state tnat tbere is a
deficit with several months of need before us. The Associated charities
are used generously by the commun
ity and should be supported as gen
erously. Do not leave the burden for
few to carry, when the need is so
great and the result so apparent.

We are catering to the trade of everyone that wears shoes. We are giving the people of Richmond and surrounding pountry, the advantage of a stock of footwear in all respects, equal to those carried by the large deal-. ers in the larger cities. We occupy and carry stock on THREE FLOORS and in order to meet the demands of our constantly increasing trade, have not only added floor space and stock, but have increased our sales force as well. Don't decide on your Spring Footwear until you have seen what we can show you, and at what a reasonable price you can buy it. We wager our reputation in the shoe business that no one in the city can show you as large and complete a stock of Footwear as we can, neither can nor do sell for less money.
