A TIMELY SUGGESTION. I see by the late report of the Asso- : dated Charities Board that there is a deficit in the treasury and believing i there will be a lack in very many homes the coining winter because of it. this suggestion presents itself as a partial remedy; That the city council do away with the unnecessary office of milk inspector and turn his salary of $1,000 into the treasury of the Associated Charities and cease this continuous hounding and discriminating against the dairymen in the way of license. J. G. C.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near

No More' Noisy Fourths. 1 From the Philadelphia Inquirer. From all. over the country, save in the few spots where the authorities put a ban on noise, come the same stories of death-dealing explosives, on the Fourth; 'Because of careless handling of firecrackers, toy pistols, fireworks and the like the hospitals .have been filled to overflowing, while fires have been numerous. Insurance companies and business men generally have come to the point of actually dreading the Fourth. There is just one way to 'put a stop to explosives and that la to stop them. There seems to be ample law. The use of explosives comes under police regulation ; that is to say, if the police are given orders to arrest all persons burning powder on the Fourth they would have the full support of the law in carrying those orders out. -",' It is to be hoped that next Fourth, with the experience of the last few days borne in mind, Philadelphia will set an. example ; to the rest of the country and absolutely abolish gunpowder as a method of celebrating.

Bingham as a Candidate. From the New York World. Many things may happen before the summer holidays reach an end, and . so Gen. Bingham's announcement that under certain conditions he will become a candidate for mayor is more interesting than conclusive. That the circumstances attending the dismissal from the police department were such as to suggest the possibility of his nomination is a fact widely recognized. To be elected mayor would be a great personal triumph for General Bingham. To be named only to meet defeat would be humiliating to him and discouraging to others. There will be plenty of time for those who would overthrow . the Tammany regime to consider his availability and determine upon the best policy.,. If it shall appear that some other man possesses elements of strength not to be ignored it is probable that no one will more cordially acquiesce in his leadership than Gen. Bingham.' Tammany at its worst is not to be beaten easily. -.-

"Xa But I have made several book agents pay 10 cents a glass for condensed . milk an I purty near sold one of 'em a boss." . '.,. , -' An Unsisteriy Avowal. - "Women would unquestionably exercise ,a refining influence on politics." said the suffragette. ' , .Yes, . answered. Miss Cayenne wearily; "I have no doubt that convention badges would be greatly increased ' in' decorative value and that campaign,, buttons would be vastly more numerous." '

In A nswer to Collier's "To newspapers throughout the United State, and to Individuals who happen to be in a position to test public opinion, but especially to newspapers, we address this request: Find out and state whether the sentiment of your community favors the revision of the tariff which has been made by Senator Aldrich and the thirty-eight faithful followers who give him his power, or on the other hand the revision downward which President Taft promised when he was a candidate, and which the ten i"urgent senators have tried vainly to bring about? If there were a vacancy in any high office In your state, governor or United States senator or even the presidency itself; if Senator Aldrich or any of the thirty-eight senators who follow his leadership regularly were one of the candidates, and if the opposing candidate were Cummins or Dolliver or LaFollette or any other of the ten insurgent senators, which would get the popular vote? We should like to see newspapers everywhere state the opinion of each community upon these points. And from newspapers and individuals generally, this paper would like to hear. (If there is any way of r.etting the opinion of the country on this subject before President Taft directly we should like to see that done too.)"

Mark Sullivan in Collier's Weekly has asked the above questions. In reply we say that there is absolutely no doubt that the people in this community are almost unanimously in favor of the revision downward as promised by President Taft when he was a candidate of the Republican party. They are in favor of tariff revision downward as proposed by Senator Beveridge during the late , campaign. The sentiment in the Sixth district is practically unanimous in condemning the actions of Senator Aldrich and "the thirty-eight faithful followers who give him his power." And now the senate bill has been passed In spite of the dissenting votes of "the ten insurgents.

Slogan Contest Extended

Owing to the great amount ot Interest which has been manifested in the Slogan Contest the Committee has decided to extend the time to Saturday, July 10th it 6 p. m. The Best Slogan For Richmond? That is what the Young Men's Business Club wants for advertising Richmond. The Club offers a prize of FIVE DOLLARS for the phrase or slogan selected as the most suitable for the fight for a bigger and better town. Slogans and phrases should be sent to the Slogan Contest Editor of either the Palladium or the Item. Slogans arriving before noon will be published in both papers the same day. Every one is eligible. Send in as many ideas as you have. The judges are to be announced later. What the Club wants is something new, crisp and effective. It wants something that won t wear out because it is to be used permanently in the future campaign for Richmond enterprise. Address The Slogan Contest Editor At Either The Item or The Palladium Office

After the Glorious Fourth. Omr patriotic fires we've raised

And summer grows more kind at last

There is in this state a situation which is almost in line with the hypothetical question of Mark Sullivan in Collier's. There is no vacancy 4)ut in a little less than two years Beveridge will come up for ratification, as a candidate for re-election to his seat in the senate. He stands a far better show than would the senator from Rhode Island, Mr. Aldrich, or any of the other thirty-eight. And any one of the ten insurgents who voted against the Aldrich tariff bill would have the same advantage. It is not hard to find the reason. The people of fndiana not only think that the tariff ought to be revised along the lines proposed by Taft in his speech of acceptance and on subsequent occasions, but they are fully aware of the fact that this is what they were led to believe was the stand of the Republican party. They like the stand of the insurgents because they believe these men are trustworthy in the keeping of promises. They agree with Beveridge in the opening statement in his speech in the last senate debate when he said: "A promise to the people is sacred."

When it is thought over, the action of Beveridge in this tariff matter is one which should be applauded for more reasons than the uncommon matter of honesty. The entrance of the Steel company into this state at Gary with its ever growing force means much to a man in politics. And Senator Beveridge is in politics. It might almost be said that Gary is the pivotal point or soon will be in Indiana politics. To fly in the face of the corporations and fail to do their bidding really is a thing which calls for some little courage. So it is that we assure Collier's that the people not only of this immediate vicinity but all over Indiana are pretty well satisfied with the conduct of the insurgent senators. They even go as far as to hope that President Taft will remember his utterances of the campaign. They hope that he will do what be can for tariff revision downward. They hope this. And they hope it to the extent that when the next election comes along they will bear in recollection the men who have kept their promises to the people and those who have not. That is the reason that the ten insurgents would have a good chance if they come up for any office in this part of the country.

It may be hot, but heaven be praised The danger of explosion's past.

A Severe Ordeal. "So you want a position as a ticket salesman during this busy season," said the railway man. "Yes," answered the young man. "What qualifications do you think you possess?" ' "I'm sure I could be patient, helpful and obliging.' "Young man, it's plain you have had no experience with a crowd of impatient excursionists. I'd like to give you work, but it would be a shame to spoil a good disposition."

JUST ABOUT BABIES. This writing oj how to train a baby is by a man. The presumption of It! - What does a mere man know about babies? Strange as it may appear, a man may have learned something from observation, and his point of view may bo very well worth while. Anyway. ' you will please permit a man. who has bad babies in his house to say a word to young mothers. I would' advise you to decide very early in. the baby's career who is boss yon or the baby. . Of course your baby is just the finest and sweetest baby in babydom, but all the same it doesn't know what it needs. It thinks it knows what it wants, and so, it frets and cries and kicks until something Is done. And then , .,;.,.,. " When it gets something done as its reward for making noise and demonstration it has learned that the way to get things is to make a fuss. The baby cannot bo blamed. 'It has been-educated in the art of getting things by means of howls and strivings. .-- There Is sleeping, for instance. Anybody knows that babies are born with the perverse notion that daytime is for sleep and nighttime is for keeping others from sleep. Even a man kens that babyish pro-

Its Hind Legs Are a Meat Formidable Pair of Weapons. The kangaroo seems poorly provided by nature with offensive weapons. His powers of biting are not formidable, and bis fore paws are so weak as to seem almost rudimentary members of little use. His hind legs are muscular and strong, but are apparently of use only to assist flight from his enemies. On these hind legs is found, however, a most formidable weapon in the shape of a long claw as hard as steel and sharp as a chisel as terrible to dogs as the scythe chariots of the ancients were to their enemies. When run down the kangaroo, placing a tree behind him to protect his rear, wm seize in his fore paws such indiscreet dogs as rush up to him and. holding them firmly, disembow I them with a sweep of bis alckle-llke claws. ' Even the hunters themselves ; thus caught In the vlaellke grip of an "old man" kangaroo of the larger - breeds have sometimes suffered in like manner and hare now and then taken their own turn at being hunted as the enraged animals turned upon them and attacked their horses with blind ferocity.
