fort these are all that is left of what was once a straggle for the state of Indiana. A little later on came the settlers, fur traders, adventurers, then the fanners and "there were Indians

in - those days even on our sluggish Whitewater. Then the building of the

National Road and the canvas cover

The early Quakers, the first settlers

of this locality, though their minds

would have turned from anything eo

worldly as a pageant would neverthe

less lend themselves readily in their

picturesque costumes to a pageant of the present day.

And this county need never be

ashamed of the part it played in the

days of the beginning of the War of the Rebellion. Born of the scenes which we have just mentioned came forth Oliver P. Morton. All of this is the heritage of Wayne county. One of the best ways of impressing not only the citizens of other

parts of the country but even ourselves with the place which we occupy

in the scheme of things is in the pag eant Which might be done sometime.

SENATOR BEVERIDGE THE MAN

FROM HOME

The question most pertinent to the people of. Indiana is brought before

them by the return of Albert J. Bever idge to this state.

; They ehould be glad that his letters

are forwarded here instead of to 26

' - r Broadway. Which is merely o say that we be

lieve the people recognize the fact that Beveridge has represented them, instead of the corporate Interests in the ' matter of the schedules in the

Aldrich tariff bill.

In his speech at Indianapolis the other night, Beveridge brought1 home the

idea that after all is said and done the tariff bill as passed by the senate was

a bi-partisan measure. That is, that

the southern democrats had as much

to do with it as Aldrich.

We are more apt to think of it in a slightly different light. The senate; without regard to party was divided Into those who were for the interests of the people and . those who were against them. In this the members of "both parties did one thing or the otherthey voted for the people or against them. It was bi-partisan to the " extent that the democrats voted quite, as strongly for the" extortionate tariff as did. Aldrich and his followers on the other side of the house. In this view, without regard to party, the people pt Indiana, who are all , of them Senator Beveridge's constituents have the assurance that he did everything he could for them. This is more than being a good party man in the ordinary sense of , the word, because it is being the best sort of party man, in the true meaning which the word should have. By that, is meant the making of the party the expression of the interests of the people. Whether Beveridge is right or

wrong and most people in Indiana

think he is right he at least has the great merit of representing the wishes

of his constituents and the keeping of

bis word.

That Is worth much in a senator or

any other representative of the people, It Is the fearlessness of Senator Bev

eridge in doing, not only what he had promised but in doing what he had promised because it is right that

should endear him to the people of

: Indiana.';. :

Aa we remarked in the beginning.

the address of Indiana's senior sena

tor is not at 36 Broadway.

PAGEANTS AND WAYNE COUNTY

Every thing, seems to be running to

the spectacular in this day and gen

eratlon. In France. Germany, England and more lately- in the United States ' and Canada great historic pageants have taken place. It has only been

in the last few weeks that Maude Ad

ams gave the splendid Joan of Arc

pageant in the Harvard Stadium, the

week following the Champlain celebra

tion was presented. The landing of

Hendrick Hudson and other notable rents will also be represented in

spectacles.

Practically every well ' known historic town in England has had pageants setting forth the glories of the

past. Even the story of the English Church has been acted J , . ? ' The effect has been that the people have .become Interested in the. past The. realism of the action, the setting and the costumes have made them well worth seeing and the commemoration of scenes of the past makes for a higher patriotism . and citizenship. ; A hundred years ago and less the county of Wayne was still virgin. The little army of St. Clair, followed by that of Mad Anthony Wayne were still fresh in the memory.. Today a certain road on the other side of Eaton called the "Old Trace.? which was

MR. DRAPER'S CITIZENSHIP ,

William L. Baker, a school supply

agent, has written to Supt. Jordan of

this county. It may be remembered by the general public that Mr. Baker is

one of those agents who admitted that he was in a "combination to frame up

the bids on school supplies at a cer

tain fixed figure, thus destroying the effectiveness of sealed bids on school

supplies.

Therefore Mr. Baker writes In defense of his plan. It is noticeable that even in his defense he does not deny

that a combination for the fixture of prices exist. He says in his letter: "The facts are that we had a meeting here and read the riot act to some parties who make trustees look ridicu

lous by having so many prices."

It may be pointed out that there is a decided difference between the unl

it form prices of one firm and the uni

form prices of a number of firms in the same business. That latter savors a little too much of a conspiracy In re

straint of trade.

Therefore we see no reason if there

were not a combination, why Mr. Baker

should wax sore and wroth on the proposition of Mr.. Draper to sell at what

ever price he pleases.

The remarks about Draper are of the

delicious strains of. an. - Aeolian wind

harp blown by warm breezes.

"Mr. Draper has too short a time to

understand "the new movement for bet

ter citizenship, but he will understand it and be in sympathy with it as soon

as he digests it."

Mr. Baker's idea of good citizenship

seems to be to hold up the citizens of the counties in which he is selling goods to the point that he so desires.

Mr. Draper's ideas as we understand

them are to allow open competition and to secure the contracts by the

most reasonable bids. Mr. Baker means to educate the pub

lic and the county authorities to his

uniform prices. Also he apparently means to educate Mr. Draper to "good citizenship" by making it hard for him to sell goods, and to get goods to sell. The education of Mr. Draper does seem to have been neglected in, the matter of combinations but we must say that from all appearances his citizenship is of the unspoiled variety. . As to the Bakeresque phrase "Our business has been a battle of wits long enough, but it will cease to the advantage of all" that needs no comment. Where does Wayne county come in? In the meantime we do not object to the apparent signs of good citizenship of Mr. Draper, nor to his ideas on open competition in the letting of contracts for school supplies.

inquirendo issued? Would any one In his rlaht mind propose such a-thing?

Why is it not possible to make the

back yards in town more attractive

by hedges, such as add to the beauty

of Roland Park and other suburoan

places?

Family Physician by Contract.

From the Newark Star.

A subject brought up at the annual

meeting of the American Academy

of Medicine afr Atlantic City was- that of the adoption of the contract physi

cian plan, by which families with small incomes can have the services of a regular physician for periods of a year by the payment of an annual fae for medical attention. The plan is in vogue in European countries, and in

many special cases in this country. In very many cases a family will not for economical reasons call in a phy

sician in the early stages of sickness,

and does so only. when the Illness

takes a serious turn. If the contract existed the physician would be called at once and might be enabled to arrest a disease by prompt attention, where otherwise death would resul.t

Kickers.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.

It is the same persons who were

com nlal nina most about the heat a

few days ago who have been doing the

shivering for an evening or two.

Such a Cheap Drink! From the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Since the price of tea is not going

to be raised by taxation a lot of peo

nle will not care so much about

drinking it.

TWINKLES

BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. A Pessimistic Opinion. "Father," said little Rollo, "what is an optimist?" "According to my observation, son, an optimist is a man who finds his own affairs prosperous and tries to persuade other people not to make a kick and disturb conditions."

A Cold Reality. Since they make artificial ice, - Why can they not devise a way To make an unsubstantial price Which harmlessly will fade away?

The Hater of Quietude. ' "That man says he will create some real excitement if he gets into congress." :

"Yes," answered Senator Sorghum, "he is one of those peculiar patriots

who want to climb on board the ship

of state simply for the pleasure of

rocking the boat."

Luck at Last. "I'se done had de proof dat dar's luck in a rabbit's foot," said Erastus Pinkly. - ' "What were de proof?"

"I done sold de one I's been carryin' eo long to a superstitious white lady

fob fo bits."

Hems Gathered in From Far and Near

Fireproof House Needed. From the Birmingham Ledger.

The annual loss by fire in America is so large that it is high time to begin

the reforms necessary to check the en

Ormous loss of money. American houses are better fitted for losses by

fire than for any other' purpose, except shelter. It is high time fireproof houses that won't burn were being

erected in our country. The Backyard Fence. From the Baltimore Sun. A number of public spirited ladies and gentlemen of Baltimore have entered upon a righteous warfare against the back yard fence.. They point, out the fact that, according to their estimates something like $2,500,000 is Invested In- these hideous affairs, and it possibly requires an annual outlay of $100,000 to keep them in repair. Let us suppose that $100,000 should be spent each year in beautifying the city instead of making It ugly, would not that be a good reform. Let us suppose that citizens of Roland Park should organize for the purpose of cutting down the hedges which adorn that beautiful suburb and separate the back yards . and replacing them with the kind of fences with which the

Interviewing the Professor.

, "So you don't think Mars would re

ply, even if we did send signals."

"I am almost convinced that there

would be no response," answered

Prof. Thinktum, adjusting his glasses.

"Then you don't believe that Mars

is inhabited?"

On the contrary, I consider it ex

tremely probable that life similar to

our own exists on the sister planet."

"But you don't give those people

credit for intelligence equal to ours?"

"Yes. I am inclined to credit them

with even greater intelligence than we

display. There are many indications that they have a civilization older than ours; in which caso they should

nave too mucn sense to root away

their time on any such impractical

proposition.

OFFICERS INSPECT

Special Train on the C, C. &

L. Passed Through City Yesterday.

SIGNIFICANCE IS UNKNOWN

A party of officials made an inspec

tion of the C. C. & L. railroad line

yesterday. The train passed through this city in the afternoon. Oa it were

Vice-President Starr, Receiver Good

rich, Supt. Dalton. Trainma&ter Allen and others. What significance these

frequent inspection trips over the road

may have Is not being divulged by

company officials.

Neither is the future of the road

known. The C. C. & L. is one of the

biggest puzzles now on the railroad horizon. It is reported sold, traded or

involved in some kind of transaction

about every week. The latest affair was the petition cf the Old Colony Trust company asking for co-receiver.
