"A great remedy possibly, the remedy for strikes and troubles between capital and-labor, is publicity. It is not a great comfort after all, that publicity is the great remedy for public wrong, .or private wrong for that matter? Why Is it? Because the majority of people .in this world, despite all ancient theological teachings, want to do what is right." This is a statement made by President Eliot of Harvard before a class In Economics. He might have and probably did go farther. Publicity is effective not only because a majority of the people care to do what is right but because those who want to do what is wrong, have a fear that what they are going to do will be found out Publicity acts both ways; it rights the wrongs of those who are innocent and turns the light on those dealings which, though outwardly fair and beautiful to behold, are filled with sinister design. Publicity is of many sorts. - "Tinctured publicity' is far more dangerous than no publicity at all. Tinctured publicity only gives one side of the case. These newspapers which make 41 i i j - i u,i i meir wnuie issues uiie mi go yuuiittti t ' ra - . - - however good their intentions, fail in the end to attain what a simpler method might gain. If the attempt is so noticeable tha t . the reader say s "Oh that is the policy" the paper has failed because the information is discounted. ' The other sort of publicity is that which merely states the fact reserving editorial comment for the natural and normal channels. An English commentator not long since pointed out that there had been a change since the day when every man in England read editorials. He said that now instead of reading editorials men read the news columns and formed their own opinions. But he also said that those papers which tinctured their news columns were losing even that grip on the public mind. He went on to say that as soon as the public realized that, the news columns of a paper had been transferred and their editorial writers turned over to the news columns in an attempt to regain their hold on the people, there would be a reaction to the editorial column as the legiti mate place for comment on : facts. And this is a growing tendency in this As a matter of fact every newspa per man knows that there is a greater danger to the public point of view, in the presentation of facts in a biased way than there ever was from any amount of editorial comment. The editorial , is discounted by being of a personal bias frankly an expression of opinion but the news story bears at least the outward form of being untrammeled by manipulation. This is also changing. If publicity is the cure for the evils which Dr. Eliot has pointed out it must be real publicity. , The day of effectiveness of tinctured news is over. , , Newspapers all over the - country of facts is gradually being overthrown. The reason is simple. Newspapers act and react on each other. The day la coming when no newspaper will dare put editorial bias into its news columns. Then and only then will publicity be the ideal 'thing which will accomplish what Dr. Eliot sees in store for It SOME PHASES OF CENTRALIZATION OF POWER. In those days when Theodore Roosevelt was making himself ' very much felt we heard much of his usurpation of power. It was pointed out as a

gassesneslty te assHstiim. 1

dangerous thing that the chief executive of the country should go counter to the. plans of the members, of congress who were affectionately, hailed as the "representatives of the people." The papers all over the country which had reason to attack the administration deplored the : strengthening of the central government deplored the attitude of the people towards Congress. Today when we are in the midst of the tariff discussion, a following of the debate and the votes on the various schedules discloses too often for satisfaction, just how much some of the members of Congress are representatives of the people it even casts shame on the two leading parties in the country, both of which declared themselves in favor of tariff revision. "." "' ' -. " . The state of Indiana has reason to be proud of Senator Beveridge to date so has the republican party in this

state. But if there were not reason to be glad that we have Taft in the pres ldential chair, would not the people be gloomy indeed? What would be the recourse to the overiding of the desires of the people? Most of us feel that Taft can do much toward giving a good tariff bill we most of us feel that he will be there when the time comes for action. When that day comes when he de mands for the people to whom he promised all the tariff revision real revision which he was able to give them will we not hear again the howl from certain sources about the "over riding of the "representatives of the people?'" We wonder which side those same papers will put Aldrich on. He cer tainly won't be on the same side of the fence as Beveridge. If Congress cannot give us real tar iff revision, there are some of us base enough to hope that Taft will at the expense of being accused of centrali zation of power. Items Gathered in From Far and Near TARIFF INSURRECTION. Prom the Galveston News. All that seems to ail the ten repub lican ' Insurgents in the senate is that ten are not enough to "leven" the lump. Prom the Birmingham Age-Herald. The notion that a new senator must remain silent has been riddled by the insurgent senators from the wild and woolly west. Prom the Providence Evening Bulle tin. " K If Senator Aldrich, carries the rest of his schedules through, at least he will know that he has been in a fight. Prom the St. Louis Times. Why is an insurgent who doesn't In surge? From the Indianapolis Star. The tariff reform going is so slip pery that every time the senate takes one step forward it slips back two. Prom the Richmond Times-Dispatch. Some of our contemporaries seem to be evincing a disposition to define a democrat as a man whom Aldrich can rely on at the pinch. From the Memphis News-Scimetar. Cummins. Dolliver. Clapp, Bristow, Crawford, Burkett. La Follette, Suther land, Borah, Johnson and Jones, all from the W. and W. West are senators who are talking the way their constit uents feel. Can the republican party affront the mand still live? PORTO RICO. From the Syracuse Post-Standard. The pace of representative govern ment has become too hot for Porto Rico. Its legislature is about to forfeit the right to raise and spend the money. Can't we hope to hear from the Anti-imperialistic League about this? From the Detroit Journal. President Taft diagnoses the malady of the Porto Ricans as over-indulgence In or inflammation of the independ ence. . - From the Indianapolis News. We don't want to appear officious, or anything like that, but our confidential advice to the Porto Ricans is that it will pay them in the long run to ba good. , ' From the Chicago News. Though Porto Rico is a ward of the United States that does not justify it in adopting ward politics. From the Buffalo Evening News. ; That patriot who is talking of bloodshed in Porto Rico if the proposed limitation of the assembly's powers is attempted should be spanked and put to bed. From the Boston Transcript. There's a difference in Porto Ricans, and of this the islanders are duly conchas. TWINKLES Nature's Economy. "Looky yere, mammy." said Pickaninny Jim, "at de knot holes in dis here piece of wood. What does you 'speck dem is fur?" "Why, honey," answered Aunt Elvira Ann, "dem's de button holes what de branches is fastened on to de trees." Superabundance. Advice Is always to be had And might be useful if you could With certainty detect the bad . - And always patronize the good. ' A Position of Advantage. "I see." said the progressive woman, "that a great many members of

our sex are practicing dentistry with

great success. "Yes," answered : Miss Cayenne, 'fiome of us would go to any pains in order to be in a position to absolutely monopolize the conversation." A Real Scare. "Being a manager," said the sagac ious observer, "you escape all the terrors of stage fright." , "Yes", answered, the theatrical pro moter, "my portion of the entertain ment is to watch the receipts ana expenditures. And I, want to tell you that box office fright is worse man stage fright." Home, Sweet Home. "Home," said the sentimentalist, "la wh.K th flMrf Ift." "Yes " answered the rich American who lives abroad, "and what renders it still dearer is the fact that it's the place where " the dividends are col lected." Inexhaustible Interest. Cheer up. O gloomy pessimist, And calm your haunting fear. Lest things to interest shall be missed From this revolving sphere. This life will never be a bore; Old topics ne'er give out. You'll find there's always somethingl more For folks to talk about. Since man's first governmental cares, When nomads settled down, He has discussed the same affairs That stir each modern town. The tax that's due, the fashion new, The weather, much in doubt; The same old themes will always do For folks to talk about. GOVERNMENT WANTS MEN. Uncle Sam Pays $800 to $1,200 Yearly for Railway Mail Clerks, Postoffice Clerks and Carriers, Stenographers and Rural Free Delivery Carriers. Thousands of good positions will be awarded by Uncle Sam this year to men and women between the ages of 17 and 48 who have ambition enough to pass the Civil Service Examination. These . examinations will be held soon and any person with common sense can readily pass provided he prepares beforehand. Those desiring to take the next examination should not delay, but should write immediately to the Government Positions Bureau. This Bureau, with its intimate and peculiar knowledge of Civil Service Examinations, will give any reader of the Palladium full information how to proceed free of charge. It gives the best of advice to all ambitious persons who wish to better their con dition. We advise you to write today to Government Positions Bureau, 43 Hamlin Bldg., Rochester, N. Y. MAILED LETTERS. Owned by the Sender Until Delivered to the " Addressee. Many persons are under the impression that a letter onco mailed is no longer the property of the sender, but belongs to the person to whom it is addressed. This is an error. Under the postal regulations of the United States and the rulings of the highest courts in the land, a .letter does not belong to the addressee until it is de livered to him. The writer has a right to reclaim and regain possession of it provided he can prove to the satisfaction of the postmaster at the office from which It was sent that be was the writer of it. Even after the letter has arrived at the office which Is Its destination and before it has been delivered to the addressee it may be recalled by the writer by telegraph through the mail lng office. The regulations of the postofflce department require, of course, that utmost care shall be taken by the postmaster st the office of mailing to ascertain that the person who desires to withdraw the letter is really the one who is entitled to do so. and the postmaster Is responsible for his error if he delivers the letter to an Impostor or to an unauthorized person. The vital principle In our political system lies at the bottom of this matter. In this country the state is the servant or agent of the citizen, not his master. It remains merely bis agent throughout the transmission of a letter. The state may prescribe regulations under which Its servants may carry a message for the citizen, but it cannot shirk its responsibility to him. Washington Star. TUNING A PIANO. A Professional's Experience With frri table Ven Bulow. "Piano tuners are for the most part graduated from piano factories," says one of them. -While the piano tuner is required to know every part in the makeup of a piano, be is not necessarily a piano repairer. Nor can the average piano maker or repairer tune a piano. There are hundreds of expert makers and repairers of pianos who wouldn't be able to tell one tune from another. "The piano tuner is born, not made. His acute sense of the vibrations of sound is given to him at his birth, and the man who hasn't got this sense cant become a piano tuner. "Quite a number of years ago, when Hans von Bulow was in America, I tuned the piano upon which he played. He wouldn't allow the instrument to be tuned in the ware room, one of his whims being that even a short removal of a piano knocks it all out of tune something in that theory at that So I tuned it upon the platform upon which he was to perform. . He stood over me all the time, letting out agonised whoops and German cuss words until I couldn't help but laugh in his face. "Finally, when I had the piano almost tuned, he gave a few more shrieks and. grabbing the wrench, began doing the job all over again. I let him go ahead, and inside of three minutes be bad the piano so hopelessly out of tune that it took me three hours to get t, into shape again. Herr von Bulow had to pay double for this little erhlhinnsi of trmper.' Caekane Sportsmmm Iterlew.. .,

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

Copy.ight, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye THE KING AMD THE NA. This is a love story in real life of a king who gave up his kingdom for the sake of a maid. To be sure, it wasn't much of a king dom, consisting mostly of phosphate rocks. But be was monarch of all be surveyed except when the phosphate trust issued an order from London. John Davis Murray is the name of the ex-king. He graduated a few years ago at Purdue university, Indiana, and went out to the Christmas islands, in the Pacific ocean, to seek bis fortune. John got to be very popular with the natives of the three tight little Islands, and they made him king. . He was a sort of George Ade-comlc-opera style of king, with a standing army about the size of a corporal's guard and a gorgeously gilded throne, and Issued decrees written on both sides of a sheet of foolscap, with an imperial seal as big as your fist All the same was king under the phosphate trust He might have married a whole harem of savage beauties and founded the dynasty of the house of Murray. ButHere is the romance on the top of romance: He turned his back on his empire, doffed his crown, went to Lon don and for love married Margaret McMicken, a sweet Irish lass. The king got acquainted with Margaret when he was loafing around Lon don town on a kingly vacation. Pretty story! Reads like some of those things you used to devour from the veracious pages of Dana and Captain Marryat or sweet Robert Louis Stevenson. You see. John Davis Murray, Hoosier, found in England a greater king than himself. Edward Hex? No. The king he came across is bigger than Edward, king of England, Ireland and Scot land, emperor of India, defender of the faith, etc. Who then? Love is the greater king! All lesser sovereigns bow to his king ly scepter, and his mild but imperious sway moves the minds and hearts of all, be they potentates or peasants. That king told King Murray he must decide between his rocks, his natives. his job as easy boss and Margaret, the one woman. And John Murray promptly abdicated. P. 8. John is worth a million or so in cold cash safe in the vaults of the Bank of England got from his phos phate royalties. ANNA MORGAN. The preachers and moralists are al ways saying to the people of our day: S "Money will not satisfy." Insist these ethical teachers: "You in your commercialism shall be like that desert traveler who, thirsting to his death, eagerly grasped a bag, which be then threw away in despair. saying, 'Oh. it's only goldr " And the moralists are not without their witnesses and converts, as note the career of Miss Anna Morgan,' youngest daughter of J. Plerpont Morgan, the rich financier. Miss Morgan is beautiful, talented, educated, rich. She has tried every phase of social pleasure, traveled wide ly, bunted, dressed, dissipated every thing that goes with great wealth. In vain. Social triumphs failed to satisfy this woman of heart and brains. What thoughts came to her! Did she, or did Helen Gould before her. think of how her great opportunity was brought about? However that may be, Helen Gould gave up society to do a woman's work in the world. She discovered within two stones' throw of her palatial home worn and weary women who stooped, thin shoul ders and wan faces, over grimy cigar benches, making cigars at unseemly hours under, insanitary surroundings and for paltry wages. In extending her Investigations Miss Morgan discovered the dock laborers at the Brooklyn navy yard, TOO of them. These men work at exhaustive labor for long hours. Their hard conditions stirred the pity of Miss Morgan- ' Now she has completed a large restaurant, where the laborers get substantial meals properly cooked, well served, at cost. Miss Morgan's theory is that "a man well fed is already a halfway moral man." She has learned to look below th rough exterior of the laborers. She talks with them, visits in their poor homes, and woe betide the boss who aTuses one of the men! This fine woman laughs at the call of society. She says she is much happier in her ministry. Like Helen Gould, she does not intend to marry, but continue in her work. , Well, does not this rather ' prove again the saying of the moralists about the supremacy of the soul over mate rial things? V n, n a mss Hepular. "How do you know your husband is not a rood poker Dlarer?" "Because. answered young Mrs. Torkins, "no good poker player could be so popular as be is with other poker players.

TORTURED WOMAN

KEEPS HER TRUST Tossing on Bed of Pain Brave Missionary Today Tells Odd Story. WAS SEIZED BY RUFFIANS MISTREAT HER IN EFFORT TO LOCATE FALLEN WOMAN SHE HAD RECLAIMED. ONE CAPTOR AIDS IN HER ESCAPE. Asbury Park, N. J.. May 19. Toss ing on a bed of pain today, bruised and seriously sick from the inhuman treatment to which she had been sub jected by three ruffians, who kidnap ped and imprisoned her in a hut on the outskirts of this city. Miss Emma Trotter, thirty five years old. a mis sionary for the Florence Crittcndc i Circle, told tho police of her frightful experience. She was lured to the shanty, plied with drugs, beaten, kicked and cuffed, yet she refused to divulge the whereabouts of a young girl she reclaimed from evil associations, and who had been a friend of the men who abused her. She eventually gained her freedom by working upon the conscience of one of her captors, while the others were stupefied with liquor, and, reminding him of his childhood days, induced him to kneel and pray with her by the memory of his mother until, tearful and penitent, be aided her to escape. Despite the indignities she suffered she did not betray the trust of her office. A FLGWcr? LEGEND. Hew the Myeeetie Came to Be Called Foraetmenot. Dr. A. F. Thomson communicated to Mills' "History of Chivalry" the following romantic account of the origin of the popular name, forgetmeoot. of the favorite little flower myosotls: "Two lovers were loitering on the margin of a lake on a fine summer's even ing when the maiden espied some of the flowers of myosotls growing on the water close to the bank of an Island at some distance from the shore. She expressed a desire to possess them, when the knight, in the true spirit of chivalry, plunged into the water and. swimming to the spot, cropped the wished for plant but bis strength was unable to fulfill the object of t bis achievement, and. feeling that he could not regain the .- shore, although very near it, he threw the flowers upon the bank. and. casting a last sffectlonste look upon his ladylove, he cried 'Forget' me not r and was buried in the waters. As the world insists upon a reason, this story is as good aa another. but the worthy knight must have been sadly out of his element not te have been able to return from a bank on which his mistress could discern so minute a blossom, unless, indeed, we suppose him to have been clad in armor, which waa a habiliment ill adapted for a lorer by land or water. Hew Dickens Learned te Write. When asked by one of those wiseacres who are convinced that in order to write good English a man must be taught to write bad Latin where his son, was educated, Mr. John Dickens replied with considerable aplomb that his son er well, his son er might be almost said, in a sense, to have edu cated himself. The street, the ware house, Mr. Creakle, an attorney's of fice, the reporters gallery and post chaise such was the education that equipped a young man of twenty-four to preside st the banquet of literature at an unprecedented age. to make the best speeches in London, to go Into the best society, to set the table in a ; roar, to lead every company In which he mixed, to travel, acquire French and , Italian with ease and write the most animated letters known to the modern world. London Times. Taking the average for the world. there is one newspaper for every 82,000 inhabitants.

Denver, Colo., Waging Fight For a Good Milk Ordinance

Denver, Col., is in the midst of a contention over a proposed new milk ordinance. One of the newspapers is leading the fight and by the generous use of cartoons and type has awakened widespread interest. The city council now is laboring with the meas ure. Tne clauses suggested by tne newspaper as the proper contents of the ordinance have been accepted. In view of the fact this city has just passed through six months of milk or dinance will be read with interest Among them are the following: It provides a licensing system which will almost compel the health The Old Time Album.
