THE RICHMOND PAL.LADIU3I ANJ SUN-TELEGRAM, SUNDAY, JULY 25, 1909.

Richmond: Panic Proof! "Richmond: the Panic Proof City." That really deserved the prize offered by the Youns Men's Business Club. And in saying that we do not mean that there were not other excellent slogans. There are many other sides to Richmond which were admirably expressed in the contributions made to the Slosan contest. All the departments of the city in which there ia excellence displayed had expression in the slogans. ' But after all isn't it Richmond panic proof that everyone is really proud of? Isn't it that which is responsible for most of the other good things that we are proud of? It is a well known theory (or rather a fact) that the material prosperity is that which must come before every thing else. It means our very bread and butter our bread and butter all the year round. It means good homes; good things to eat the absence of poverty; the presence of work and pay. The Full Dinner Pail is not a campaign myth in Richmond. The Panic Proof Town is one in which children have enough to eat and wear and a. chance to go to school so that they may not be burdened in Life's Handicap. All depends on that. And speaking of panics.. This town was the only one in Indiana (with one exception) in which there was no limit to the amount of checking out in the last panic of 1907. The banks paid in currency. They did not pay in clearing house certificates they did not limit the checks to twenty-five dollars or to ten. They paid in money. It was money that meant groceries It was money that meant clothes. It was money that meant heat. It was money that meant life. A panic proof town has some advantages over others. It is worth living in. The only way in which Richmond was affected by the panic was in the relation to the outside world. There was no trouble here. And by the way, the fact that Richmond kept on its feet meant a great deal to the people in the outside world that were connected with Richmond business.

Well there is no reason why the Panic Proof Town should not go forward. A Panic Proof Town is a town worth helping. It is a town to be proud of. It is a town that will take care of you. Isn't It fair then, to help take care of its future and keep its slogan up to date and truthful? Keep it a Panic Proof Town.

TWO FAMILIES Genealogies, like statistics, may be very dull reading, or they may be a source of pride, or a thing, to ponder on. Statistics are usually things that

arc useful to editorial writers. About them may be said, 'It is a serious commentary,' or 'in the last analysis,' or 'we point out that in such and such a year.' . i Now i3 our chance. Two genealogies have come up on the flotsam and jetsam of printed matter that ruches through a newspaper office. Therefore we say "it is a serious commentary" that "in the last analysis" the fact th?.t in 1703 and 1720 two men tnen were born (they subsequently married and had families). Most genealogies are only interesting to their owners. We fancy that these have some interest to others. Jonathan Edwards was born in 1703 at East. Windsor, Connecticut. Max Jukes was born in New York, state n 1730. ' , ) But It is their families that we are concerned with. The Edwards family represents the highest type in Americathe Jukes family the lowest. In one hundred and seventy-five years the histories of the two families are something very like a sermon v for Americans. , v There is one saying that the wicked shall flourish as the green - bay tree, and another that the way of the transgressor is hard. Be that as it may, of the descendants of the original Max Jukes something like 1200 of them were identified a3 having been inmates of charitable and penal institutions up to 1874. Not one of them has ever been known to have held an office of trust or to have been in the service of his country. As a matter of fact each of them cost the society of his time something like a thousand dollars that can be ao counted' for, and probably a great deal more that can not be accounted for. That mounts up to $1,230,000. Three hundred and ten were in poor houses, three hundred died in childhood, four hundred and forty were viciously diseased, fifty were prostitutes, , seven were murderers, sixty were habitual thieves, and a hundred and -thirty odd were convicted now, and then for various criminal pursuits. The rest were shiftless or worse. Such was the family of Max Jukes.' The Edwards family- was a little better off. Thirteen hundred of the descendants of Jonathan Edwards were identified in-1900. Two hundred and ninety, five of them were college graduates, thirteen were college presidents of the greatest institutions in the land, sixty-five were professors in colleges, sixty of them' were physicians, a hundred or so were clergymen, seventyfive were officers in the army and navy, sixty were prominent authois and writers, one hundred were lawyers, eighty had held public office, one was vice president, and three were United

states senators, mere were besides these several governors, members of congress, mayors, framers of state constitutions, and ambassadors to for- i elgn courts. Not one was convicted of crime. - In these cross-sections of human life the Human Comedy, that is as we , are wont to say "a serious commentary." Vet who shall know how rmic?i of heredity and how much of environment there was in all this? Does heredity make environment or environment heredity, or both? Is the way of the transgressor hard, or does he flourish, as the green bay tree? , ENCHANTED CIGARETTES . It was Balzac who invented the term of Enchanted Cigarettes for those day dreams which are never written. Every man v who fancies that he can put ink to paper has a ''story that he Is going to write sometime." And many

or rather all people build air castles.

Now and then there arises some bold soul who scoffs at the time wasted in the Gardens of Cathay and the Tower in Farthest Thule, not to mention the Chateau of Grenada and the Castles in Tyrol. For those of us who are not endowed with the happy faculty of picking up and going to the ends of the world we be fortunate at least that we can go on swift wings these summer days to the land of Prester John and back before some one has caught us "off the jobl" This matter of smoking Enchanted Cigarettes, for we are all of us above the "pipe dream," is the Fountain of Eternal Hope. How foolish were' these early Spanish conquistadores who set out in the swamps of Florida for the Elixir of Life and the Philosopher's Stone. They might have staid at home and spared themselves fever and mosquitoes, not to mention the rather uncomfortable processes of being forced to run the gauntlet They spoiled their own game by running after it. Stevenson has a hero in one of his most elusive short tales called Will o' the Mill, who had always longed for the fine splendors of the Towns in the Valley. He never went. And as the travelers came back weary and footsore and full of the distaste of life he sadly shook his head and went up to his hill top to enjoy what he had really never seen. Of 'all the flowers in this world the soonest wilted and bruised are those of the imagination. That is no doubt the reason of the unsuccets of the matchmakers and the matrimonial bureaus which would marry us off to a divine creature who corresponds to our own dream conceptions. And so it is with these Enchanted Cigarettes even including the stories we mean to write some day they are far 'sweeter while they are burning into smoke than after they become the sparkless, bitterish, charred things of our experience.

THE HAGERSTOWN FAIR j The Hagerstown fair is an Institution worth Wayne County's being proud of. All over the country you can hear of it. It is the Wayne County Fair. We are sure that we voice most of the sentiment in Richmond when we say that everyone is glad that Hagerstown has it. The fair business has never particularly paid here. Instead of lying in the manger we are glad to see a smaller town make a success out of it There is no use in trying to pretend that because a fair is not given in the county seat, that the fair is not a good institution. i There have been some mighty good shows of all sorts up at that Hagerstown fair some of the best in the country. The horses have always been a drawing card. There are races there that are really races. After all is said and done we think that the real old fashioned fair where every thing is not seen from the grand stand and where all the exhibit is spread out in good old style and where everyone drives in from the country round, is the one which most strongly appeals. It is the one that takes you back to the time when county fairs were fairs not vaudeTille, Coney Island and moving picture show effects. The city has in most instances spoiled - the county fair. That is the reason they do not pay. w The reason that the Hagerstown fair has really been a good fair and been really "open to all the world' Is the fact that its managers have been content to stick to the real county fair and let the flim-flam game go by.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near

, Never Touched Your "Uncle Joe." Houston Post. They are deposing autocrats in the East, but Uncle Joe Cannon continues to tilt his five-centers at an angle of 45 degrees in arrogant defiance of the seditious statesmen who would annihilate him.

Certainly Never Was a "Live One." Louisville Courier-Journal. Mr. Hisgen, who is said to have been a recent nominee for the presidency by the Independence party, is now quoted as declaring that the Independence party is a "dead one."

Whatever That Is. Brooklyn, Eagle. The Southern States will remain democratic, without knowing what that is, but will not become republican, because they do know what that is or was down there. sr A Splitting Noise. Boston Journal. Colonel Watterson is not the only observer who predicts thta the tariff question will yet split the republican party. The noise of the splitting may be heard even now.

What the Country Wants. New York Herald. It is all very well for members of congress to play baseball, but what the people want is to see the tariff game end with a home run. Can be Easily Learned. Baltimore Sun. Attorney-General Wickersham will be glad to teach any ignorant corporation just how to pay the new tax with neatness and dispatch.

Another Roosevelt Policy Seeing Light Boston Herald. President Taft is reported to have "taken the bit in his teeth" on the tariff matter. First showing of teeth in this administration.

A Rival for Joe Bailey, Philadelphia Ledger. James Hazen Hyde acquitted of smashing a Paris taxicab. Another vindication added to his list. ,

Making the Smile Come Off. Atlanta Constitution. It is well that we got a kodak-snap at the Taft smile, for the tariff is wearing it away.

Can Still Make a Noise Like Trouble. Chicago News. Though Mr. Taft's big stick is decorated with pink ribbons, it is ready for use.

Letters of recommendation are so easy to get that nearly every burglar captured has one on his person. "I have noticed, said a man today, speaking of a new rule, "that there is usually a way to get around it" When a man has a "good idea" he likes to tell his friends about it. And usually a "good idea" is a fool idea. No one makes such good returns on the amount invested as the girl who marries a good man who makes money. "It's a wonder," we heard a woman say today, "that women are as good as they are, when you remember that the first one was made from the rib of a man." Another Knock. (Chicago News.) Mr. Stubbs It's queer, John, that you don't hear of many women going trout fishing. Mr. Stubbs Not at all. Maria. You know in trout fishing you can't speak a word for hours at a time. HONDURAS 10 BE mebqoi WIHC Secret Agent Declares America Will Establish a Protectorate. REPORT IS FROM MEXICO

SAID THAT THE WASHINGTON GOVERNMENT WILL MAKE THE ARRANGEMENT TO PROMOTE PEACE IN CANAL ZONE.

Mexico City, July 24. That the United States contemplates the formation of a protectorate over th republic of Honduras in the near future was the statement brought to this city by a secret agent of one of the Central American republics. The agent left Panama on the steamer Newport and arrived at the port of Corintho, Nicaragua, July 2. Traveling with him as fellow-passenger was General Domingo Vasquez, a former president of Honduras, who was exiled through the efforts of President Zelaya of Nicaragua, In 1905. The Newport was met at Corintho by a United States gunboat and the officers of the warship accompanied Vasquez ashort to the offices of the commander of the port. This latter j official was informed that Vasquez had on his person documents from the i state department at Washington guaranteeing him safe conduct across Nicaraguan and Honduran territory. The papers were approved and Vasquez left for Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras. He is there now conferring with President Davila relative to the proposed protectorate. Said to Favor Proposition. Davilla is said to look with favor upon the proposition, as he fears that he will lose his seat through the treachery and the efforts of the opposition party in Honduras, which is daily growing stronger. The United States will justify the formation of the protectorate on the ground that the continual disturbances in Honduras will be for the purpose of establishing a precedent that will enable the American government to intervene in the affairs of Costa Rica. This latter step may become a necessity in the near future, as the present campaign in which Rafael Iglesias, the nominee of the Nationalists, who is opposing Ricardo Jiminez, the Liberal candidate for president, threatens to produce a revolution which mayinvolve others of the Central American republics. The United States will not tolerate disturbances in territory contiguous to the canal zone, and realizing that sooner or later a protectorate will be made necessary for strategic reasons, will take the first opportunity to settle the question. The story as related was partially corroborated) later by statements coming from a high diplomatic source. PICQUART DEPOSED AS WAR MINISTER

In America the annual vacation has become an institution. Once ugon a time, probably within the memory of the oldest inhabitant, only the moneyed and leisure classes could indulge iu such luxuries as a cessation from toil even for brief intervals. Today public and private sentiment is revolutionized. The most prosperous country in the world has learned wisdom from experience. It has found that vacations for every element of population, from the highest to the most humble, means increased efficiency, whether in sheer human happiness or in economic productiveness. The vacation habit is the outcome of the discovery- It needs no explanation and no defense. Rather the man who opposes it needs both. Employers are coming to see the material benefit of such leniency to employes. All the great corporations, wise in their day and generation, insist on annual vacation for men behind their dividends. America, the north particularly offers a bewildering choice of summer resorts where tired energies may be recruited and weary bodies given fresh impetus, for the exacting demands of the routine. The mountains beckons beckon you to come, the thunderous sea shouts a welcome from the coast resorts. A thousand little inland towns, half the country wholly charming, hold out hospitable arms to the man or woman feeling the perennial need of rest and recreation. Singularly blessed in versatility of actractions is own state of Indiana, as well as the state of Michigan which

offers refuge and pleasure to the entire gamut of tastes. If you long for gaiety that accompanies the fashionable resorts, one day's ride will see the fulfillment of your wishes. If it is the quiet country home life for which you are looking, scores of secluded hostclrles open their hospitable doors with a menu and facilities of the most Inviting description. If it is water sports such as rowing, sailing, motor boating, bathing or fishing that challenges your desires a few hour's ride to the north on the Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad will find you in the midst of these pleasures. If you must court your pence, do not let it interfere with the taking of your vacation, do not go through life in debt to yourself. Up until just a few years ago, few people knew where to turn Information where to spend their vacation was hard to find, but now that the many railroads and numerous summer resorts are giving the public full descriptions of these diverse havens for the weary pilgrim, "the seeker of rest, the chaser of pleasure, and the tired mother, the annual problem of vacation pathfinding has been greatly simplified. It is a real treat to gaze through the mass of folders and circulars that are being put out broad cast. They spread a varied and enticing panorama before the eye and mind, opening up anticipated joys and giving the nerve worn worker a foretaste of the temporary emancipation when the hours on the clock of toil strikes not in his, ear. Care and judgment have gone Into the arrangement of these

wide flung preliminary vacation hints and every reader of the Palladium should at least find something satisfying in the subject of a duty they own themselves. - A BUSINESS MAN.
