Kb tared at Richmond. Indiana, portoffice k econd elaaa matt matter. (New York City) baa sad aartmai ta the etreslstlea al tale inaThaHtii Oaly taa agents of is lta mart an taa tie 1 THE CALM OF TAfTY Reports from Washington would indicate that Taft is doing nothing but playing golf so many hours a week and resting eaey on tlie laurels of being president. News stories are being sent out to. the middle west by certain correspondents with a purpose to the effect thpt Taft has bet rayed those who put him in office. It is worth while " remembering that the same persons who are now shipping out this disquieting information to tha western constituency criticising the president for not adopting the Hooseveltiao methods and being his own master- are the eame sources of accurate information which originated tha stories in the campaign last fall which were circulated in the east that Taft was dominated by the methods of Roosevelt and therefore was pot safe for the interests that he was a Moon candidate. It is not hard to Imagine the reason. There are certain' interests in this country i which are afraid of Taft for the simple reason that although he dees not employ the exact ways and means of his predeceesor he has ingrained; in him certain ways of looking at things which will be irksome ta them before long. If enough dissatisfaction can be heaped up against the president it will not be so hard for them a little later on to send out through their ready press agents stories which will be colored to prove that Taft Is-a very unsatisfactory president. , It is impossible for Taft with his temperament to do the Roosevelt program in its outward form but when the time comes for actual results' the method will not matter to the American people,' If the Interests which are now so anxious to discredit Taft would reflect they would know that the people are more interested in ac tual results than they are In spectacu lar grandstand plays. They would also know that the people are not eaaily led to believe that the man who lias accomplished wonders by his quiet management in the chaotic Phil ippines, is wasting his time in Wash ington." V " CORPORATIONS AND REAL ES TATE. The other day one of the judges of the state supreme court asked a lawyer who was arguing a case, "Do you meau to tell us that a corporation may go out. buy a hundred lots., and erect buildings on them for sale or rent?' Presumably the lawyer did not answer in the affirmative, for the law seems to be clear that a corporation can not do it., ; If the question were why corporations, which -are allowed to do pretty much everything, should not be permitted to do that, It would be hard to give a satisfactory answer. A. private individual may buy a hundred lota or a tract of land, which be subdivides into lots, and erect houses on them, of which he sells as many aa he can find purchasers for. Nobody sees anything dangerous to the community in whit he has done.' If two or more men form' a partnership to - build and sell or rent houses, nobody takes exception. But if application , were made to the secretary of state for . leave to organise a corporation to car- ' ry on that-kind of business be would have to say the law was against it. A number of men of moderate means could not be induced to form a partnership to carry out .extensive plans tor the Improvement of real estate by the erection of an office building or dwelling houses. The death of one of the mwould dissolve the partnership and the entire business would have to bo closed out. probably at a loss. , If a rati estate corporation could be organ- - tsed the same men. would be glad to subscribe for its shares. They would prefer them to those of soma mining r manufacturing company if the corporation was to do business under their owa eyea. -where they could see tha land It bought and tha houses ; it iuilL Men of limited means who have been In the habit of investing their tarluss la small real estate mortgages " oold gladly avail themselves of as ottaftU? to boy shares ., of stock

which. would be based- on improved real estate. The refusal to allow the machinery of the corporation to be used for the purpose of constructing office build lags or dwelling bouses hampers building. Because of it land which would otherwise be covered with houses remains vacant or ..antiquated and inferior blocks which ought to be torn down and better ones built are let alone Chicago Tribune.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near SENATOR DOLLIVER. From the Springfield Republican. It was the voice of Dolliver. but it was the soul of the west. From the New York World. It is to be feared that the entente cordiale between Iowa and Rhode Island in the Senate has been badly fractured by Mr. Dolliver. From the Buffalo Express. : Senator Dolliver has the satisfaction of having made a greater stir by his attack on the tariff bill than any one else who has spoken on the subject. From the Providence Journal. , ; Mr. Dolllver's interesting and forcible oratory will reconcile some of those who were disappointed when he declined to be considered in connection with the republican vice presidential nomination. From the Milwaukee Journal. Senator Dolliver does so well in the role of a genuine tariff revisionist that he ought to try to keep In practice. From the Indianapolis Star. Of course Aldrich. Is protected from the big-fisted Dolliver by his advanced years. ' From Columbus. Ohio, State Journal. K) well, defying Senator Aldrich is a harmless pastime. THE PEACE C0NGRE88. From the Chicago Tribune. ' This peace .movement, however, is not universal. We note with regret that Battling Nelson is taking no part in it. From the Springfield Union. The national peace congress in Chicago is made conspicuous by the absence of W. J. Bryan and Col. Guffey. From the Toledo Blade. Very few people, if asked to select the proper place for holding a peace conference, would think of Chicago. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. The warriors against war, in session at Chicago, will find a little child at The Hague more potent for peace than many conferences. From the Chicago Evening Post. That peace promoter who urged na tions to talk a matter over instead of writing letters about it knew his busi ness. From the Pittsburg Gazette-Times. v While the peace congress was in ses sion a man was being murdered in a Chicago restaurant for criticising the pie. t Chicago is able to attract a few respectable visitors, but it's the same old town. t ' : . From the Chicago News. Let us at least disarm the bad man who carries a bip-pocket gun. TWINKLES A Large Shady Place. They were arranging their plans for the summer: What I should like." said Gwendblin, "is a large shady place where I could stay as Ions as I w'sh, regardless of expense." "Well," responded her father, "why don't you put on your hat?" Fin Crops. "Do you raise anything worth while in your garden?" said the visitor from, the city, "I should say so," answered Mr. Crosslots; "it's the best place for fishing worms in the entire village." Further Assurance Desired. The sultan is deposed at last. . But it is not enough Will these Young Turks, when time has passed, Like him prove old and tough? The Ready Explainer. "Why," asked tho customer, suspiciously, "do you put so many little berries under the top layer of big ones?" "That," answered the affable gro cer, "is done so that we can get more of them into a box." ; A Strange Creature. The gnu always puzzles me," said the man with the magazine. "In what way?" " ; "I ; invariably have a momentary doubt as to whether it is an animal or a misprint. We often wonder bow any person can be persuaded into taking anything but Foley's Honey and Tar for coughs, colds and lung trouble. ' Do not be fooled into accepting "own make" or other substitutes.

FORMERL RICHMOND HE WAS THE FOUNDER OF THE GREAT NORDXKE-pARMON COMPANY, WHICH RttMOVEO FROM HERE TO CAPITAL CITY. Daniel W. Marmon, of Indianapolis, formerly of Richmond, who died at his home yesterday of arterio sclerosis and heart disease, was one of the best known business men in the state and had a host of friends in this city. . He had been confined for the last Beven months and his death was not unexpected. Mr. Marmon was born in Logan county. Ohio, October 10, 1S44, and in 1846 removed with his parents to Richmond. He was educated in the public schools of this city and at Earlham College, from which he was graduated in 1S65. In 1866 he bought an interest in the firm of E. 6 A. H. Nordyke, Richmond, which then became incorporated as. the Nordyke St Marmon Company. His special business then became the designing and eon struction of machinery. In August, 1870, he married! Miss Elisabeth Carpenter, who survives him. He is also survived by three children Miss Car oline, Howard C. and Walter C. Marmon. ' Moved to Indianapolis. In 1876 the Nordyke-Marmon Company removed from Richmond to West Indianapolis, when the growth of the business of manufacturing flour milling machinery was rapid. Besides his interests in this company he had a flouring mill at Noblesville and property interests in Richmond. He was a member of the Second Presbyterian church, president of the Indianapolis Light and Heat Company, a member of the Commercial Club and a charter member of the Columbia Club. Arrangements for the funeral are awaiting word front bis daughter, who for several months has been in New Mexico. How's This?

The kidnaping of Willie Whitla, the Sharon (Pa.) boy, caused a sensation nation wide. , Especially were the people and the authorities of Pennsylvania and Ohio aroused. The former state offered a reward of $15,000 for the capture of the kidnapers. It sent out troops of nounted police. Police and detective departments in many cities were active. The activity brought results. The guilty parties were caught almost as soon as they got bold of the ransom money and will perhaps go to prison tor life. When Willie Whitla was able to talk he told how the kidnapers had instructed him, should any "bad men" come to find him, to hide under the sink. Well The city of Scranton, Pa., is not far from Sharon, Pa., the home of Willie Whltla's parents, and a correspondent brings these facts to our attention: Recently the silk workers of Scranton held a meeting. Among the things recited by some of the speakers was this statement: "Whenever a factory inspector comes to our mill the foreman puts the little boys and girls In the bobbin boxes and tells them to be quiet until be goes away.w Note the parallel. The Sharon kidnapers bide their boy under a sink. The Scranton violators of the child labor law bide then boys and girls In the bobbin boxes. Sinks or bobbin boxes where Is the difference? Willie Whitla complained most of all because he could not have fresh air and sunshine and his playmates. . The boys and girls unlawfully imprisoned In the Scranton mills are denied these, and more. " They are employed . In stuffy," Insanitary rooms. And hands and feet and backs snd brains are on a constant strain to tend the bobbins. : - All contrary to law. But Pennsylvania sends out no mounted police and offers no rewards for the arrest of these law violators. - The Whitla kidnaper took only one boy; the child labor criminals take thousands of boys and girls In Sharon and elsewhere and rob them not only of air and sunshine, but of their childhood.

IUDIAUA KIIIG DEAD

Hoosier Who Ruled a Cannibal Island to Happy Hunting Grounds. HAD A REMARKABLE LIFE Carnal. I1L. May 11. News has bar received hero of tho death of Edgar Thompson, king of one of tbo Fiji Islands. King Thompson's . death . , recalls to tho older residents of this city the mysterious disappearance of Thompson twenty-five yeara ago from his home in Albion, north of here, and the later news that he was king of a tribe of cannibals. Shortly before hu death Thompson sent a sister In San-. Francisco a note, telling her of his adventures. He stated that he had married a Malay princess and that be was coronated king of a small Island. Investigation on the part of tbo United States consular service substantiated the man's assertions. Thompson, while In school at Albion, planned with five other boys to IcarJ for the Fiji islands, but tbe tragic band of fate swerved the other four from the course planned. All died before tbe appointed time except Thompson, who left wealth and social life behind. . His letter, a lengthy one. reads more like fiction than current history, and tells la detail of his arrival on the islands and his courtship and marriage to the young princess. A son, his only child will likely bo bis successor to the throne. "
