THE VISITORS FROM NIPPON

The Japanese mission which is visiting Indianapolis today is worthy of more . attention than is being paid it. We hope that their entertainment will

be more cordial and show a greater realization of Its importance than the

administration was disposed to give it

, In Washington. There, unfortunately, not a single responsible head of a department was there to give them attention. Not even Secretary Knox, of the state department, was present to receive the distinguished visitors. On the authority of the New York Evening Post, he was absent to attend "Knox's wife's aunt's funeral." If J. P. Morgan, General Leonard Wood, Dr. Elliott, McAdoo, the engineer, John Wanamaker, Col. Theodore Roosevelt and others of like prominence were to visit Japan and have the treatment which our representatives accorded them in, Washington, there would be something said in American papers. Indianapolis seems to be doing its duty and that will save Indiana from reproach.

The Big Four Railroad has announced that the loss from the defalcation of C. L. Warriner, reaches $4.0QA. The remarkable thing about this from a business point of view, is the length of time, twelve years, that he stole the money. The railroad companies are supposed to have the most perfect auditing system in the world. But from a human point of view, the system of double blackmail to which he was subjected, and the remark that he "was glad he was found out," gives much for the moralists to ponder on. The whole thing from the man's point of view was another case of "hell on earth." There are few things more tragic than the sight of "Bankers Row" in the penitentiary. Here are men above the average gone bad. It ought to help now and then to keep other men straight to reflect on the case of Warriner.

COMMISSION GOVERNMENT -in.BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF DES MOINES PLAN AIMS OF COMMISSION PLAN The underlying principles in the Des Moines Plan are two-fold. First: To make the city government efficient by clearing out red tape. Second: to make the city officials responsible to the men who elected them and to no one else, and that responsibility having been fixed to get rid of the man who does not obey the wishes of the people. Now, how is this done? EFFICIENCY To make the government efficient, all the power of running the city Is placed in the bands of five men, who are elected from the city at large at a non-partisan election and a non partisan primary. By placing in five men. all the power both to make the ordinances and to enforce them; and furthermore to carry on the actual business of the city, those five men do all the work of the city which was done formerly by councilmen, mayor, board of public works and police commissioners, etc. That saves expense. That makes them efficient. RESPONSIBILITY But it does a much more beneficial thing than that it makes five men responsible so that they cannot shirk their work and can be removed if necessary. By electing the council at large the whole city, and not merely ona part of It, is considered. This also saves trading of interests and the expenditure of money for things which are not absolutely necessary for the city. By electing the men at a non-partisan election, it is the men and not the party who are responsible to the people. By a non-partisan primary a man is nominated by a majority of all the people and not by a majority of a minority of the citizens. This makes him responsible to the people and not to a political boss or to the spoils system. PROTECTION OF PEOPLE Here is the protection of the people. The reason for fixing the responsibility now becomes clear. If any councilman (who is responsible for the official acts of the council and for the city affairs in his department) violates his pledge to the people, he may be removed. This removal does not depend on any law suit nor on any impeachment proceedings. It is very simple. Twenty-five per cent of the number of voters at a previous election may remove him by signing a petition for his recall. (This will be referred to in the future as The Recall.) And from the moment that that petition is filed, he is out of office. If twenty-five per cent of the number of voters will not sign a petition for a man's removal, the chances are that nothing is very much the matter. , Moreover, every franchise which is granted to a public service corporation must be voted on by the people. Hence both the commission and the public service corporation are careful to respect the rights and wishes of the people. And any other official act of the Council may be voted on in the same manner if the people so desire it. Also if council does not pass a

measure which the people want they can be forced to do it or put it torsi

a vote. This is the reason that the Des Moines Plan is a restoration of the rights of the people and also the reason that the Des Moines plan accomplishes things and makes, not for "reform government,' nor "good government," but for efficient government

Hems Gathered in ' From Far and Near

The Kansas City Journal suggests that Dr. Cook should not Imperil his life without having "a committee of high brow scientists and a notary public along." But the use of affidavits has been so frequent In American campaigns that It really wouldn't make much difference.

And so Mary Garden is criticized for protesting against $1,100 duty on her new Paris costumes. New York is hard to satisfy. All last year she was condemned for lack of the same.

After a four years closed season, the number of applicants for appointments under the new administration seems to have had its effect. But remember the quail and the lame ducks.

Why condemn the 3,000 college students at Champaign, Illinois, who smashed things after the Indiana victory? It Is to be hoped It will not happen often.

Wall Street may want a chance to put Col. Roosevelt in the Ananias club, but they will believe his statement that he has not been killed by a lion.

Now that the quail season is open, Roosevelt is safer in Africa than in Wayne county.

The Dakotas will be feeling jealous of Tom Taggart's emporium at French Lick.

Candler and the Hookworm Gift.

From the Columbia (S. C.) State.

We do not believe that the south is

going to make a fool of itself in regard to this matter. The intelligent,

sober men of the south have long ago become wearied and disgusted with this sectional chip that some of our spokesmen insist upon carrying on their shoulders. They are tired of this business of being put in the attitude

of constantly being on the qui vive for an "insult." They are sick of this exploitation of the "sensitiveness" of a "proud" people. They have ceased to desire if they ever did being made the laughing-stock of soberthinking men. If the hookworm had been prevalent in New England, doubtless Mr. Rockefeller would have given this same million for the campaign against the plague; if it had been in tho west, then the gift would have been made in the same way. And in either instance it would have been mentioned as a matter of course that the gift was made for a fight against the disease in New England or in the west, as the case might be. That is all there is to It. The south will not only make itself laughable, but will show itself ungrateful if it fails to accept the Rockefeller gift In the admirable spirit In which it was offered. We do not believe that Bishop Candler expresses anybody's but his own opinion.

name in a way which left no course open to the session other than an investigation of the charges she had made. Man and Girl Summoned. Gillespie and the minister's daughter were summoned and the man Is said to have confessed that the charges were true. Later the statement that two members had confessed and asked for-

by the defaulter and his signature was attested by a Notary Public. Warriner was unable to tell in his confession how much of his shortage went in bad stock speculations and how much went in blackmail. " He remembered, though, within $10,000 of its amount, in spite of the fact that he had kept no record of his thefts.

Speech. From the Minneapolis Journal. President Taft last winter voiced the theory that language should be exact, precise, expressing what was meant to be conveyed, and unincumbered with figures of speech. That theory had previously been elaborated by Herbert Spencer, the philosopher, much more cogently. The theory is fallacious, because language consists of symbols and never can be a perfectly transparent medium. Moreover, language, unless it appeals to the imagination of men, as well as to their reason, fails of full conviction. There is rhetoric that is bombast and oratory that is fustian, and we have had so much of it on the stump and in the courts and legislative halls that a truth-loving intellect such as Taft's can be forgiven if in reaction against pure emotionalism it fain would confine speech to pure ratiocination.

And doesn't lay them to a trust.

Delegated Responsibilities. "What proofs have you explorers that you discovered the pole?" "Why should we bother about proofs?" asked the explorer. "Let the eminent scientific bodies that have rushed in to take sides get together and fight it out."

Inconsiderate. "What makes you say your husband has no consideration for your wishes?" said the emotional actress. ''He utterly lost his temper," replied the opera singer, "when I told him I thought It would be nice to have a divorce."

In the Interest of Humanity. "You think the time when people are allowed to hunt should be short

ened ?"

"Yes," answered Mr. Growcher. "I don't care particularly about the

game, but it would mean that much

less opportunity for hunters to acci

dentally shoot one another."

Where Farming Pays. From the Wall Street Journal. We have become so accustomed to associating agricultural prosperity with other sections of the country that it is something of a surprise to learn that in the past year the twelve southern states produced over $1,429,000,000 worth of agricultural products aa against $705,000,000 In 1899, an increase of more than 100 per cent while the average increase of the other sections was a little less than 65 per

cent. " : ; . ...

He had a good share of his neighbors' respect; For leading a life that was mild and correct. The veriest gossips found naught to suspect, Till he ran for an office. But they said he was given to all kinds of strife; A traitor to friends and a brute toward his wife; They even alleged that he ate with his knife. When he ran for an office. Oh, the pictures they drew and the songs that were sung! On, the stories repeated by old and -: by young! By that soft buzzing bee he was ruthlessly stung. When he ran for an office.

the session. One of the features of the hearing, it is said, was the appearance of a jeweler in Pittsburg, who was asked to identify certain articles of jewelry worn bv Miss Oiler as pieces that had been purchased at his store by Gillespie. The jeweler is said to have identified the pieces. Gillespie, who is a man of large affairs, is about 50 years old and has gray hair. He is a distinguished looking man. Miss Oiler is little more than 20 years of age and is beautiful and vivacious to a degree that long has made her one of the belles of the younger set. Mrs. Gillespie is related to the Mellons, Pittsburg's largest bankers, one of whom recently was Involved in a divorce suit with his English wife over her unwillingness o live in America.

In your issue of October 31st, we have some good suggestions with regard to the entertainment of the federation of clubs in this city. Let us make another suggestion. As all honor is due to Miss Charlotte Mendum, the originator and founder of our Art association. This meeting will be a fitting occasion to do honor to her memory. A recent letter from her mother, Mrs. Mary Mendum, giving incidents of her early life, recalls the untiring zeal she displayed in her efforts to establish our art association and put it on a permanent footing. In the September number, 1?04 of "School Arts Book," we have the history of the founding of our Art association, by Miss Mendum herself. She gives Professor Mott great praise for his assistance in her behalf. She was a graduate of the Boston School of Arts and received the highest honors for her talent and devotion to art. Richmond has nothing for which she can take greater pride than our art association. It has given our people the greatest pleasure and not only our citizens, but the thousands of people who visit the exhibit yearly from all parts of the surrounding country. And our teachers are especially grateful to her for the inheritance of the love of art which she bequeathed to them and which they have -so faithfully handed down to their pupils year after year.

WVve worked weary over hot suds, but wo can't get the grease and bloodstains off." Anty Drudge "Sh! my brave laddies! I'll tell the Captain about Fels-Naptha soap; how it takes out grease,, blood, or any other kind of stains in cool or lukewarm water. Then there'll be no more hot suds, nor hardrubbing, nor growling." Black grease spots on a white mohair coat. Discouraging, wasn't it? The young woman who owned the coat sent it to a professional cleaner. He wouldn't touch it. "No use,' he said. Then the young woman bought a cake of Fels-Naptha and tackled the spots herself. The Fels-Naptha took them out, entirely. She is wearing the coat. This actual occurrence illustrates that Fels-Naptha will clean anything that is cleansable. It will take out grease spots from wraps, men's clothes, cloth dresses, rugs, curtains, draperies, without injuring the fabric in the slightest. It does this by loosening the dirt and dissolving it into tiny particles that can be wiped away with a wet cloth or sponge. Little rubbing is necessary. In all kinds of cleaning, Fels-Naptha is as superior as it is in washing clothes. Use only cool or lukewarm water," never hot. Follow directions printed on the red and green wrapper. Nothing" else acts on dirt in the way Fels-Naptha does.
