The old litigant used to ask "am I right or wrong"? The new litigant asks "how can I win? How can I do it and keep out of the penitentiary"? The man in the directors' room who carelessly, thoughtlessly consents to a course of conduct for his subordinates which may result in the murder of a citizen would not shoot a man upon the highway. I believe more in morality and religion than in the Legislature of the state of Indiana. I draw the line on the scientific discovery that profanity Is good for the throat. Why not marry the old maid and her money and leave her in the regular way instead of watering the stock? . Until the new science of eugenics from which a perfect race is to be made shall Inject culture, breeding and morality, we will have the same child In the future as in the past, and the same need of Christ. I am not sure that the man who walks with his head among the tars does not walk better than the man who picks his way carefully with his eyes on the ground. Gov. Marshall. The day has come in America when we are beginning to realize just what is coming to pass. Governor Marshall's speech, from which the above quotations are taken, is not more than a reflection of a great American tendency. Starting with Theodore Roosevelt, there has come an awakening of tho people; a quickening of the national conscience. Thirty years ago athletics in America was unknown, the example of a few wealthy young men in college who led healthy lives Instead of squandering their money and their vital force in dissipation, turned a whole generation and their successors into a regenerate new channel seeking after strength of body and vigorous health. Roosevelt, in the same way, has turned the attention of the present generation and its successors (it is to be honed) Into the new trend of the national awakening to right and wrong.. What Governor Marshall means by the "New Puritan." is just this new force which has been engendered isx the rising generation. According to Marshall, the New Puritan is a Puritan with a smiling face a constructive optimistnot a destructive pessimist, or a man indifferent and callous to what is going on in the world, "It may be said of the Puritan, that In an age rotten to the core, he used his intellect to determine what wa. right and what was wrong. He was a man who had a conscience and the will to obey it.' Whether It Is the insurgent idea, fighting against the control of the congress by vast Interests, whether It is the fight against corporate aggrandizement In cities, whether it is the fight against land grabbing in the west, the fight against tuberculosis opposed by the owners of tenements .that makes little difference. It Is the rising generation fighting along the new lines which is really the New Puritan." THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT "Whan a deairable course of action was proposed to the Roosevelt administration the proposal was met with the question, 'la there any law against Itr. 'Not Then go ahead and do it.' If It is proposed to the Taft administration, the proposal Is met by the Question, 'la there any law for Itr

ONLY A GENTIAN It was only a gentian fringed and blue, standing all alone at dusk In the marsh ground. Stately and tall it was, vibrant in the soft wind as it swayed with quiet dignity on its frail and airy stem. There was neither joy nor sadness in the gentian. Deep waa its blue The Flower of Heaven, "and colored with the heaven's own blue." Long ago, the mystic wise men of an elder age 'sought the Blue Flower. They sought it in the strange and foreign places the unattainable. And yet they did not find it and yet they had it but did not recognize it. They disdained the flower In the slough.

Today in America in the midst of graft and corruption; in that curious half light, shadowy right and wrong; in the dusk of dissatisfaction at the end of a tired day there now and then stands out the unattainable. Have you never seen the Blue Flower? Standing alone in the midst of Despair? The gentian has a message to those who fight with awful odds. To the man who has seen his children die from infected milk. To the man who has seen the shop close its doors on the threshold of winter. To the citizens of a town who have seen a few men steal their rights and rule with the dishonest tyranny of interests greedy for gain. To the people watching the enemies of the Republic controlling their congress. To all those who are oppressed and who are heavy laden.

It was only a gentian fringed and blue standing all alone at dusk in the marsh ground. And the mystic wise men who sought the unattainable disdained the Gentian and its message. They did not recognize It for it grew In the Slough of Despond. The Gentian is the Flower of Hope. "He shall see the travail of his soul and be satisfied."

The Gentian or the Golden Calf 'No! 'Then we must ask Congress for a law.' "The Outlook. For many years Americans have repeated the phrase, "I would rather be right than be president." When will they awaken to the fact that a president may be technically right and be very unsatisfactory? It is our opinion based from a careful study of the temper of the people in this part of the country that the people are beginning to despair of help of the administration. They feel that the administration is hiding behind technicalities which are too fine and nice in their hairsplitting. It begins to be a case of allowing wrongs to be committed by default. Whether one considers the case of R. Schilles Ballinger and Mr. Pinchot; the abortive pother about kicking out Mr. Cannon or at least attempting to do so; or whether the final aid and comfort of the Aldrich-Cannon legislative trust it all amounts to the same thing. The people will not deny that the administration has kept its skirts clean but they will deny that the administration had done precious little else. The people have for seven years past looked upon the Presidency as a co-equal part of the scheme of government which voiced their feelings and fought their battles. It is hard to give up the feeling. A Lesson In Morals. Mother Now. Willie, you told me a falsehood. Do you know what happens to little boys who tell falsehoods? Willie (sheepishly)-No. Mother-Why, a big black man. with' only one eye In the center of his forehead, catches him and flies with him up to the moon and makes him pick up sticks for the rest of his life. Now. you will never tell a falsehood again, will you? It is dreadfully wicked. Always use Walter's Buckwheat. Its genuine flavor gives it a world wide reputation. Ask your grocer.

of Mammon?

Hems Gathered in From Far and Near The Maryland Verdict. From the Philadelphia Press. One of the most gratifying of the results of last Tuesday's election is the defeat in Maryland of the constitutional amendment intended to disfranchise colored voters. It is the second time that Maryland has refused to do this unrighteous act, which some of its politicians have been sent on securing. It was defeated at an election which showed a democratic majority for the state ticket, so it must have been beaten by democratic votes. The white voters, who outnumber the colored voters four to one, could not be convinced that it was right and decent in them to disfranchise the latter, and they refused to adopt the amendments with an emphasis which ought to put that conspiracy to rest forever. The state of Maryland, by the last census, had a population of 1,188,044 of which 235,064, or about one-fifth, were colored. There is no evidence that this proportion of white to colored has been disturbed. The fear of colored domination, which is pleaded in defense of such disfranchisement farther south, would not serve in Maryland. There was no such danger there. The only objection to the colored voter in Maryland is that he is apt to vote the republican ticket. Boss Business Played Out. From .the New York WTorld. The boss business is played out in this town, whether the bosses are graduates of Yale, like Parsons and ; Woodruff, or whether they are grad1 uates of a 2d avenue horse car, like Murphy. The people are sick of havi ing boss nominations jammed down their throats. They may elect one boss-nominated candidate in preference to another boss-nominated candidate as a choice of evils, but the regular thick-and-thin machine vote is growing beautifully less. New York City is ready for direct nominations. It is ready to fall in line behind Gov. Hughes on this issue. If Murphy and Parsons and Woodruff still have doubts, they are respectfully invited to study the election reforms. They are welcome to whatever consideration they can get out of the figures. Less Insolent Tones Wanted. From the Brockton (Mass.) Times. Tho innocent pedestrian sometimes feels that it is bad enough to be honked at while making his leap for life and dash for the curb without having the note of insolence added to the horrifying sounds emitted by some of the auto horns. It's like rubbing it in with insult added to injury. Strange that sheer commercialism, if not complaisance, does not give manufacturers a hunch. Many a man had as lief be hit in the plexus as to have his tympana smitten by raucous noises associable only with infernal origin. The Noise of the City. From the Boston Transcript. The movement for the prevention of unnecessary noises in cities has apparently gained such force as no longer to be liable to the impeachment of being the fad of particular individuals. It is now discussed in newspapers and magazines with reference to the noises that must be and the noises that may be, how the former may be minimized and the latter may be abolished. Discrimination is taking the place of hysterical attempts to bring about an absolutely noiseless city, which were temperamental reactions against that cacophany which public apathy and the public delusion that violence and energy are the same had combined. Breaking Things. A certain well known member of congress has a bouse down in Washington. One of the fixtures of the place is an old negro servant named Sally Ann. lu the congressman's presence one Sunday morning she broke a big cut glass dish at the sideboard. "What have you broken now, you black mushfinger?" yelled the member, who possesses a very expressive vocabulary. Sally Ana was quite unnerved, bat he replied very humbly: "Tain't de fo'th commandment, bress de LawdT Philadelphia Ledger.

THOMAS TAGGART TO BE ATTACKED BY HIS ENEMIES

His Trimming in Last Election Makes Them Bold and They Are Planning to Completely Finish Him Now. CLUBS BEING FORMED TO ACCOMPLISH THIS An Anti-Taggart Organization Is Now in the Field in the Strongest Taggart Ward in Indianapolis. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. S. Since Tom Taggart got a good hard licking at the city election in Indianapolis, last week, there is an evident desire on the part of many democrats in this city to put him down and out for good. This feeling has found expression in several little meetings which have been held in the Eleventh ward in this city during the last few days for the purpose of organizing an anti-Taggart club amon? democrats. The club has not yet been organized, but the promoters of it arw pushing the plan and declare that witbin the next few days they will have things in shape to complete the organization. This is especially significant from the fact that the Eleventh ward is one of the heavy democratic wards of the city, and one in which Taggart has always held sway. It is pointed out that if tho Anti-Taggart sentiment is so strong that a club can be organized there, a similar club can be organized anywhere else. Talked Over Quietly. The meeting at which the plan was talked over, was held quietly and only the invited few were present. Some of them were held at the homes of some of the promoters. The fact that they were held became known only through the fact that through an error, one or two Taggart followers wer? invited. The antis did not intend to invite any of them, but they made a mistake in one or two cases and asked the two Taggart men to attend. Harry Bassett, a member of the legislature from Marlon county was one of the Taggart men who was invited, but he did not attend. He told afterward about it, and In this way the secret got out. Bassett was elected to the legislature last year along with a delegation of other Taggart men, and is known as a Taggart follower. The fact that the anti-Taggart movement has been started in this way has caused a revival of the story that, there is a strong element of the democratic party that is In favor of the elimination of Taggart from control of the party. This, of course, connects the names of Governor Marshall. John W. Kern, John E. Lamb and others with the plan, just as it did before Taggart and Marshall had their recent talk after which the statement was made that Marshall would not make a fight on Taggart. The City Is Divided. One of the things that has caused the Eleventh ward democrats to start on the trail of Taggart is the poor showing 'which the Taggart wards made at the city election. In this city it is a case of the north side against the south side, with the exception of one ward, the Fifteenth, which is a democratic ward and which is located north of Washington street. All of the other wards north of Washington street went republican. The south side wards went Democratic. The south side wards are the ones that have always been supposed to be controlled by Taggart, and in these wards it is a fact that Taggart's sway has been supreme. But this year they did not show up as well as had been expected, and many democrats blame Taggart for the slump. They say if the Taggart wards had done as well this time as they usually do. the democrats would have elected their candidate for mayor. The republican candidate for mayor was elected by only l,G3t plurality. The democratic pluralities in the Taggart wards fell off more than that amount, and this is what has stirred up the democrats to action against Taggart. It has been openly charged during the last four years that at the former city election Taggart double crossed Holtzman. the democratic candidate for mayor, in the Taggart wards, and that this double cross resulted in the defeat of Holtzman and the election of Mayor Bookwalter. Taggart. of course has always denied this. Tt? fact is that he went into those wards at that time and ostensibly worked for Holtzman, but the Holtzman followers have always believed that he did not tear his clothes in Holtzman's behalf. Left a Bad Taste. This has left a bad taste In the mouths of many, democrats during th"3 last four years. When, during the last city campaign, Taggart remained out of the fight for weeks, and then came up from French Lick and got busy for Gauss, the Democratic candidate, there were some democrats who feared that the same thing would happen again this time. And now thev are pointing to the results in the Taggart wards to prove that Taggart's work this year was not effective for Gauss any more than It was effective for Holtzman four years ago. Just who Is behind the Eleventh ward movement for the formation of the anti-Taggart club Is not yet known definitely, but they are a- lot of expert politicians in that ward, and if they

Henri Farman

get on their ear right, it is pointed out. they will be able to make progress with the scheme. It is believed that this movement will have a wide effect throughout the state, because there has been a widespread opinion that Taggart ought to be eliminated from the control of the party organization in the state. Although Governor Marshall and Taggart apparently made up their differences during the talk they had at the Denison hotel a few weeks ago, the fact remains that Kern and Lamb are still sore over the way they were treated last winter in the race for United States senator, when Taggart's Influence was used for the election of Senator Shlvely. For a long .time there was a suspicion that Taggart himself would be a candidate for senator, and Kern tried for weeks to find out whether he really would be a candidate or not. Taggart would not tell him. Kern Is Still Sore. It is the belief of the Kern followers that during all of that time Taggart kept his own intentions under his hat merely in order to more completely effect the Shively organization and bring about his election. Kern, soon after the election of Shively, gave out a statement in which he charged that he had been double crossed by Taggart and his crowd, and ever since he has had it in for Taggart politically. Kern and Marshall have been the best of friends ever since then, and It Is said they consult each other frequently now on political matters. Each believes that Taggart and the interests which he represents should be .knocked out and the democratic organization taken away from them, but waether they have anything to do with the propose! organization of an anti-Taggart club in the Eleventh ward is not known. Unquestionably there is a strong anti-Taggart sentiment among democrats out in the state. For months work has been going on in the direction of bringing about a reorganization of the state committee along lines that would be acceptable to Marshall, Kern and the element that follows them. It is known that men have been considered in the various districts for district i chairman and that in most of the dis tricts selections have been made of men whom the anti-Taggart people will support, but just how extensive this support will be, cannot now be foretold. If Taggart had been able l carry Indianapolis at the city election j there is no doubt but that he would have been the biggest democrat in the state. A MERGER WAS MAOE City Band and Non-Union Band Unite at Meeting Yesterday. ERNEST RENK DIRECTOR Efforts to accomplish a merger between the Richmond City band and the Union band were successful yesterday. All of the members of the former organization joined the union, Ernest Renk being chosen director; Charles Weisbrod, treasurer, and Frank Hartzler, manager. As a result of the merger. Richmond now has one of the finest bands in this section of thi country. It is comDOsed of about 40: pieces and probably will hold weekly rehearsals. Elmer Hawkins and Paul Wilson were taken into the union yesterday. The following musicians were initiated: Clarionets, Carl. Weisbrod, Raymond Steinkamp, Fred Crowe, Roy Parks. Charles Weisbrod; ; cornets, Robert Wilson. Clyde RenkJ Edward Shariff, William Barth, ' old Myers; altos. Charles Turner. H. ' Orr. George Renk; trombones, J. r Dickinson, Frank Baer, B. Eagles, Jesse Barnes: baritone, Albert Foster; tubas, Rudolph Weisbrod. Charles Wilson: drums William Wilson, Edward Geam. The Mole. The most courageous of an living things Is, by common consent of naturalists, the mole. Seemingly without any sense of fear whatever, tbe mole will fight anything that crosses its path. It never raises the white flag. Neither giving nor asking quarter, it tears away at its adversary until It kills it or is itself killed. Tbe mole's appetite is in keeping with its courage, and it thinks nothing of eating Its own weight. In appetite tbe spider is a close second to tbe mole, bat when It comes to fighting tbe mole carries the palm.
