It is asserted that the attempted
destruction of the gas plant in Indianapolis is an outgrowth of the employment of non-union labor. This we are loath to believe. For the most
part union labor is too careful of its
good nstme nowadays to do any thing of that sort. And if it be the case
that it was done by union men the mistake must not be made of assuming that all union men are of that
character. This however is the thing
that union men must guard against. We hope that they will set to work to vindicate their good name and in case
union men are found guilty to take a hand in the conviction of the guilty
ones.

DR. TEST'S BOOKS.
In the librarian's report for the Morrisson-Reeves Library there is mention of some of the collection of
Dr. Zaccheus Test. Most of
Times have changed perhaps or
maybe Bill Bryan would get another spasm over the imperialistic question as to whether the constitution follows
the flag to the North Pole. Perhaps
he will put in a plank in the next democratic platform for the free and unlimited coinage of gum drops in the arctic regions. No arctic explorer can
then violate the pure food laws with
out being tied up on the charge of counterfeiting.
(By Philander Johnson) Inner Consciousness. "Our friend Solomon Wheeze insists that he has a wonderful sense of humor." , "Yes," answered Miss Cayenne, "he is what I should call a subjective humorist. He thinks he is funny regardless of what the Impressions of others may be."
Measurement. "Why do you Insist on regarding yourself as only half educated?" "Because," answered the modest man, "I have read only two-and-a-half feet of my five-foot bookshelf."
A Strange Possibility. With machines to save talking And working and walking, We'll find that this planet so small Is run by the lever, And human endeavor Will not be considered at all.

life much greater than was ever appreciated in Richmond.
Dr. Test was of, the type of man of
whom there are many in Germany.
His mind was a perfect Instrument for the accumulation of facts and what is more rare of insight into their deeper meaning. The ribband to pin on his coat" did not appeal! to him. True scholarship and the new
testament phrase of "the truth will
make you free" were his characteris
tics.
Every community in the Middle
West has had its solitary dreamers
and philosophers, but it is doubtful if
any town has had a man who so nearly had the almost rosicrusian wisdom
of this man who in another environ
ment would have had a marked influ
ence. As it is, it reminds one of a
burled everburning lamp mentioned in
the Spectator with Addisonian clever
ness of invention. We are glad that
some evidtence will remain for other
generations to remark on the erudition of a former citizen of Richmond.
This the Test collection will assuredly
do besides giving ample material for
research in many fields.

MASONIC CALENDAR.
THE CITY COURT.
Yesterday, two well known attor
neys were engaged in a case of some
little Interest in the police court. The
case was one which involved the ques
tion as to the power of the police court in imposing fines. The attorney
for the state argued that the court had the same jurisdiction as the justice of
the peace. The opposing council cit
ed authorities to prove that the ex
tent was greater. The immediate
point or difference in the case was whether the court could fine in ex
cess of $25, which is the amount of
the justice courts.
The city Judge remarked that the question had never come up and that he knew of no precedent or previous
decision which decided the fining pow
er of the city court. It seems plausl
hie to believe that the city police court is designed for the relief of the county circuit court arid is therefore
higher than the justice court. That
it has this implied power seems confusing in the fact of a provision apparently denying it. It would point
to the Idea that the justice courts are
not supposed to be ofy sufficient men
The National Guard.
From the Boston Herald.
The military spirit of the people is
not entirely a fiction. It exists, but it
is latent, dormant until it is aroused
by some incident to act in defense of rights or honor. The national guard
of Massachusetts is a credit to the
state. Comparatively few of the
people of the commonwealth realize it.
Probably the majority of men, if they think of the matter at all, regard the national guard as a necessary burdci, for the maintenance of which the taxpayer is forced to contribute and ser
vice in which is a matter of personal choice and pleasure for the enlisted
men and officers. Among a minorit.--there is absolute opposition to the mil
itary service. Martial music inspires.
the passing of troops on the street at
tracts crowds the majority of whom are so consumed with curiosity that
the national colors may pass them without evoking a sign of recognition
but of genuine intelligent interest in
the national guard, its purposes and its accomplishments there is little. We believe there should be more. Sj
long as a National guard is considered to be an essential to national welfaie
and safety, service in it should rank as high as service for the government
in civil departments, should receive at
tention and arouse interest accorded
other public service.
Friday, Sept. 10 King Solomon's Chapter No. 4, R. A. M. Stated meeting.
Indianapolis, Sept. 9. While James E. Watson was in the city a day or two ago he talked with a number of his friends at the Claypool hotel, and the subject of politics was one that came up during the course of his talks. He was not arguing with anyone, but when a bunch of political workers get together there is sure to be something said along political lines. Naturally, in this instance the subject of who would be in the race for the republican nomination for governor came up. Somebody remarked
that the fact that Watson had been
invited to deliver the Labor day
speech at Terre Haute indicated that
organized labor in Indiana was not
as strongly opposed to Watson now
as it was last year when he was a candidate for governor. Some one remarked that probably organized labor
still remembered that It was double crossed last winter by the democratic legislature, although the labor vote
had enabled the democrats to win at the election and carry the state.
"I guess that's right," said Watson.
"They will not soon forget that."
"Jim, they seem to have a different
opinion of you now than what they had last year," suggested one of the men present.
"It looks that way," Watson answered. "But then. I was not defeated so badly, considering all of the things that I had asainst me." "Not so badly that it need to scare you out of running for governor again." Don't Want to Beat Party.
"Well, as to that I hardly know what to say," said Watson. "I am very conscientious about the republican party. I don't want the party to be defeated again, and I would not for one moment think of going on the ticket if it would harm the chances of the party at the election. If the boys believe that I would be a detriment to the ticket I would not accept another nomination. It is entirely too early to give much thought to that matter. This is regarded as the most signifl-

cant statement made by Watson since the election last fall, and it is believed that it indicates that Watson is seriously considering the idea of again being a candidate for the nomination for governor. He has not made any definite statement on the subject, unless the one which he made in a speech at Indiana university a few days after the election can be taken as a positive declaration. At that time Watson was reported as saying that he would again be a candidate for the nomination for governor in 1912.
A Child f!an Cook Uinner
Bullfights, Etc.
From the Tacoma Ledger.
It has been our habit these many
years to deplore the brutality of the ' bullfight and to look down upon the ! Epanish races because they encourage !
such sport. We have had superior ; airs in discussing the tastes of the ; Spanish and Spanish-Americans, but !
it is about time we were taking an in
ventory of our own tastes. As on-j
woman of Spanish descent living in this country, put it, it is time for
Americans who have been talking loudly against the Spanish national sport to put their mufflers on and keep them
on. The occasion for tnese reflections
was the recent automobile races la

"no," and was so followed by Brown and Burdsa.ll. Deuker arose and made a long speech before voting "no." The impossibility of passing the ordinance was then obvious, as
there were only eight councilmen present. Instead, the matter was more
carefully investigated and the council found that it could pass the ordinance at next meeting and it will still be effective. The nays then consented to withdraw their votes and allow the proposition to rest for two more weeks, during which time they will test the sentiment of the public. This did not settle the matter between the attorneys, however. Mr. Study said that he knew the company did not want the ordinance passed.
He also expressed himself as being unfamiliar with any facts as to whether the representatives of the company had talked with the councilmen. Mr. Shiveley said that the company wanted the matter settled without any
politics. He felt that it could be amicably settled. "Poohooes" Politics Idea. Mr. Study jumped to his feet immediately and "poohooed" the idea of politics entering into the question. He said that the company was sensitive about the proposition and was turning the argument to different channels. "The question Is." said Mr. Study,
"whether the company will get its profit from meter rents or whether the consumer will save It."
Mr. Parry, city controller, said that
the company would not sell meters to the consumer on request. This statement was injected to show that the company wanted the meter rent more than it does the proceeds from the out
right sale of meters.
Before finally leaving the question, Mr. Bartel moved that Fire Chief Miller investigate the fire cisterns and report to the council their condition. He believes that the chief's report will assist council in understanding the situ
ation completely.

The question still remains is the police court higher than the justice of

BIG MEALS.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson has come
forward In defense of big meals. Now
all is complete. Everyone has suf
ficient backing for anything that he may want to do. Doubtless in the
cannibal isles a medicine man has
arisen and proclaimed that human
flesh Is a brain food and that mission
ary soup is adapted ', to the climate
in the Society Islands. In the mean
time with Mr. Taft, Mr. Rockefeller
and others on the diet your ordinary
man wonders If the advice to eat
heartily comes with good grace from Dr. Hutchinson when every thing is
rising In prlce. . Still he says: .
"Of the forty-two principal causes of
leh in the United States census of
and then a bullfighter than to kill several human beings in an automobile
race? Of course, there is a distinc
tion in that drivers of ' automobiles enter the races knowing the risks while bulls are forced into the contests,
but there is not a great deal of differ
ence from the standpoint of brutality.
Washington Inventor.
From the St. Joseph Gazette.
A Washington man has invented a
muzzle for the roosters, to keep them from crowing before he gets ready to wake up in the morning. Now, if he
will invent some process by which the
babies can be prevented from crying
during the night he will have conferred
a lasting blessing on the race.
Not Finished.
From the Dayton Herald.
"Americans are 'so unfinished' has
been the complaint of Europeans. We
are and glad of it Yankees are startling the world with their achievements and will, we believe, stick to the habit.
