How the Wind Blew. Senator La Follette, discussing certain tariff changes at a dinner in Washington, said: "One knows what will happen, even if one is not told outright. A word here and a word there show how the Wind blows. Thus Harvey Lanigan never said he disliked his mother-in-law, but "Harvey Lanigan's mother-in-law was taken sick at bis house one night and helped herself to a large dose of rat poison, thinking it was painkiller. "They had a frightful time with the old lady. She had consumed sufficient poison, the doctor said, to kill a dozen persons. Hut she pulled through. " 'It was a clos. shave siid the doctor the next morning. 'She took e-' -fh to kill the whole family, but the stuff, fortunately, must hav been in stock for some time, and nearly all Its strength was gone." "A month later k friend asked Harrey Lanigan to recommend a reliable druggist to him. " 'Squills is a rood man, I understand said the friend 'Know anything about him?' "'Well,' said Harvey Lanigan, slowly, 'I couldn't conscientiously recommend Senilis & Co. to you, old man. They swindled me on some rat poison once "Louisville Times.

Remarkable Faith. William H. Frazier, head of the Seamen's union, talked in his Boston office, apropos of Labor day, of the sailor's life. "Our union has made the sailor's life easier," said Mr. Frazier, "but there is still much to be done. The sailor's life is still very hard, and it can't be viewed with optimism." Mr. Frazier smiled grimly. "When people talk to you," he said, "about the philanthropy of skippers and the luxury sailors wallow in, don't have the perfect faith of the ministerial candidate. "He. you know, on being asked by his examining bishop to write out the Nlcene creed, wrote with a faith entirely too vast: "'I believe in all things, visible and Invisible "New York Sun.

King's Umbrella Causes Showers. The King of the Belgians once left his umbrella in a hansom when driving in Brussels. This was returned to his majesty a few hours afterward by the proud cabby, who was offered

for his honesty by King Leopold the

sum of 100 franca. The astute jehu, however, begged a great favor of the King. Could he have the umbrella instead of the money? The favor was granted, and before many days had passed the cabman had put up the umbrella for sale and it was knocked down to some royal enthusiast for .1,100 francs. When King Leopold herad of this he exclaimed: "Well, I've heard of an

umbrella being put up to keep off

showers of rain, but this seems to have been put up to bring down showers of gold." London Globe.

The county judge of Cook county,

Illinois, nas recommended tne appointment of a woman as inspector of all institutions to which delinquent and deficient children are committed.

He suggests a salary of $1,800 a year,

was necessary the money came out of

the club funds.

Richmond's Welcome Today half a hundred editors from the country round, the Governor of Indiana, the Representative of this congressional district, and thousands of others, are here as guests of Richmond. It scarcely need be said that Richmond welcomes her guests. It is a welcome which is extended to all her visitors collectively, because it is a welcome to each individual from the transient stranger within her gates to the Governor of this commonwealth of Indiana.

The Fall Festival tells its own story. A story of new life and enthusiasm. It could not exist save for the hearty co-operation of many men with many Interests merged for tne time being into this event But this Fall Festival is more than decorations and music even exhibits. The concourse of happy and prosperous people is a more inspiring sight than the physical preparations for their entertainment. Back of it all lies the consciousness of the mutual interest of one in the other which is the foundation of all successful society. Boosters there are, in legion here in this section of this state an-1 across the border In Ohio but it is not the narrow boosting for a particular interest it is the overflow of the Home of Plenty and Energy. And withal, our boosting if you will call it such, is the recognition of the fundamentals on which the "Panic Proof Cfty" is based cooperation in the vacant place of the devil take the hind most.

Thus it is that we have invited you here as our guests to see the real Richmond for we Richmond people do not believe (as some towns do) that the towns stop with the city limits. Richmond, more than most Indiana towns, has preeerved an autonomy of interests. That this independence of larger towns and other sections of the country is increasing, is indicated by the Fall Festival itself. Richmond welcomes her visitors during the Festival. The only fav or she asks, is one which she hopes is not a hard one, that is to know her the Real Richmond. In bald and inadequate phrases these are the facts. Richmond is the county seat of Wayne County. It is the largest city in eastern Indiana and in the Sixth Congressional District, nine counties in all. It is located 68 miles east of Indianapolis, 75 north of Cincinnati, 40 miles west of Dayton, Ohio, and 3 miles from the Ohio state line. It Is the center of the wealthiest community in the Middle West. The wealth in Wayne County is about $900 per capita. Richmond is known as a City of Homes. The number of people owning their own homes is far above the averaoe. Population over 23,000. Area, 2,640. acres. FINANCIAL GROWTH IN TEN YEARS 205 PERCENT. One of the best evidences of Richmond's growth and prosperity during the last ten years is found in the marvelous progress our financial institutions have made in that time. The combined resources of our national banks ten years ago were $1,977,844; now they are $4,432,732, an increase of 124 percent This statement is the more striking when we take into consideration the fact that within that time the two local trust companies have been formed with resources of $1,575,245, and six banks in the smaller towns around Richmond, with resources of $650,000, all of which business formerly came to Richmond. If these are added to the resources of the three national banks we find an increase in resources of banking institutions alone of 2C5 percent, or in figures as follows: Ten years ago, $2,077,844; now, $6,357,977. The Building and Loan Associations have also made a very healthy growth. Richmond has a Piano Factory producing a complete high grade piano every fifteen minutes. Richmond has the largest and best equipped retail Hardware Store in the United States. Richmond manufactures more Threshing Machines than any other city in the world. Richmond manufactures more Tratcion Engines than any other city In the world. Richmond manufactures more Lawn Mowers than any other city in the world. Richmond manufactures more Roller Skates than any other city in the world. Richmond manufactures more Grain Drills than any otheV city in the world. Richmond manufactures more Burial Caskets than any other city in the world. Richmond manufactures more Ventilating apparatus for greenhouses and buildings than any other city in the world. Annual post office receipts, $65,000. Three National Banks, two Trust Companies, three Building Associations with combined resources of $7,250,000. Number of factories, 125; capital invested, $7,000,000, with an annual output of $27,000000, and a pay-roll of $3,700,000. The total pay-roll of the city for .all purposes is $6,300,000. Total assessed valuation of the city, $17,500,000. Wealthiest per capita in the state. Three Railroad Companies radiating in eight different directions from the city, and forty passenger trains arriving and departing daily. Two Express Companies, two Telegraph Companies, two Telephone Companies. Two Interurban Railways, and several others projected. Greatest Hardware jobbing center in the state, and only second in general jobbing interests.

But that is not all. You can see it all around you. The fine farms. The thoroughbred stock. The prosperity manifested on every slds. And the greatest thing is the Spirit of Neighborliness. That is the spirit in Richmond which prompts your hearty welcome.

To The Editors

moat Invariably the name Palladium on a newspaper, when found today, stands for a long career dating from the early part of the century. (The Richmond Palladium itself was established In 1SSI.) Those pioneer newspaper men who began in the towns which were springing upon the then frontier, had a real reason for choosing the name Palladium. It has a historic background of its own. Back in the days of old Troy, when the Greeks were besieging the city (considerably before the time of Homer, who told the historic tale.) the people looked to the statue of Pallas Athene in the temple for protection. Not only was she the goddess of wisdom, but it was said that so long as the Palladium (hr image remained in the city the town was safe. Subsequently the tale tells, that Ulysses the Crafty, managed to steal the Palladium away and the Greeks captured the town. It is a pretty fancy but like all fancies, has a remarkable amount of truth in it. A town without a newspaper is in a helpless condition. A town with a dishonest newspaper whose ideals are stolen or bought by some modern Ulysses is in as bad a way as the town of Troy. We are fond of that old name The Palladium the American heritage is pleasing but particularly does the present management of the paper feel it owes to the citizens the guardianship of the trust which devolves on every newspaper. We appreciate the faith of the people in the Palladium, which adds force to what would otherwise be but a name of bygone newspaper days or a betrayal of trust to the citizens of Richmond.

The merging of two 6uch bodies could occur only by the abolition of one or the other. That is the flat alternative. There is no other way. What the President really noted and commended wr.s the growing sririt of co-operation among religious belies against the common foes of all. As the President said: "I think we have reached the time when the churches are growing together, when there is less bitterness of denominational dispute; and that, no matter what creed we may follow, the churches are beginning to realize that they must stand shoulder to shoulder in the contest for righteousness."

Hems Gathered in From Far and Near

The Palladium greets the editors who are the guests of Richmond today. We are proud of our Richmond, the country around it and the showing at the Fall Festival. It should not be necessary to say more than that the Fall Festival speaks for itself. You. as newspaper men, can do much for the community in which you live by helping along the town. You are constantly doing it. We. as you. have found that at the end of the Day's Work we feel bettereat better and sleep better if we have done our part in helping the community. We are proud of the fact that we have been with this Fall Festival movement since the beginning. It is a youthful, vigorous, sturdy growth it will not pass away. It is doing wonders for this community and the plan will do the same thing for yours. We have found out that Co-operation and Optimism are the things which Richmond needs. Co-operation and Optimism are the basis of the success of the Fall Festival. And the Fall Festival is only a sign of the success of Richmond. If you have discovered an effective plan from your own experience, for helping a community, the Palladium will be greatly Interested in it If we can give you information from Richmond's successes, for use in your own place we are always glad to tell about it. We are particularly glad that you have come to see Richmond. We are proud of it and justly which adds all the more to the heartiness of this expression of welcome. Do not feel that Richmond is only at home on these occasions there is sincerity In the Fall Festival advertisement which says: "THE LATCH STRING IS OUT IN THE PANIC PROOF CITY."

THE ROW ON CORAL STRANDS.

(Chicago Record-Herald.) It was "The Saturday Review"

which remarked cleverly apropos of the Cook-Peary controversy that

Americans were the only people who could discover the north pole, and also the only people who could make It ri

diculous when they had found it. It

might have added, too that they were the only people who could laugh heartily at so good a Joke on themselves. But now the spot-light is shifting from Greenland's icy mountains to India's coral strands. The Cook-Peary controversy is giving way to a Kitch

en er-Curzon controversy, and it remains to be seen who will do the most grinning in the end. When Lord Curzon left his post as viceroy of India four years ago he wrote a most elaborate farewell address, full of poetry, pathos and paternal love and longing. When Lord Kitchener gave up his place as commander general of the army in India this year he also delivered a farewell

L address. Then all was silence until 1 . . in

some one using tne name nemor and suspected to be Lord Curzon himself wrote to the London Times pointing out that some of the finest of the fine writing in the Curzon speech had been lifted bodily for use in the Kitchener speech. Now the battle of the heroes is under way at high pressure. "Observer" suggests that Kitchener borrowed the Ourzon passages out of a fine spirit of irony. But this has led Lord Curzon to argue in person that the relations between him and Kitchener are not of such a nature as to make possible an ironic treatment of himself by Kitchener. Another contributor suggests that, since Lord Kitchener never writes a sentence if he can help it, it must have been his secretary who wrcte his speech and stole the Curzonic language. All England is beginning to split into factions cn this question, with budgets. Irish land bills an! ever suffragettes reduced to side issues. The moral of this seems to be that if Americans are the only people who can make the pole ridiculous they arc

at least deficient in the British capacity for making themselves ridiculous.

The Jewish women In Russia have presented their first petition to the douma. In this petition they beg that legislation be enacted to prevent htabands from sending their wives a bill of divorce by messenger. As things are now, a Hebrew husband can divorce his wife, with the consent of tbe rabbi, by giving her a bill of divorcement If the wife does not wish to be divorced, she can refuse to take the paper, and it does not become valid without her acceptance. When the

bill is sent by a messenger, tbe wife, not knowing what the paper la, has no means of protecting herself.
