DUDELY Among the older residents of Richmond, the passing of Col. Dudley will bring back old times. The war times, the reconstruction which took th form of the genial leisure of an interregnum in the North, mixed with the kitter of active politics. Col. Dudley earned his reputation as a gallant sol dier and an efficient officer. He was a sufferer throughout his life from the wounds which he received in action. No mention of Col. Dudley is more frequent than his connection with the "blocks of five letter." The charges were never proved and there is still much doubt about it. Politics was entirely of that order in that period. And many a man of that time who knew the incidents are agreed that if the truth were known Dudley was the scape goat of those higher up. It was felt, also, that the action of General Harrison In fighting shy of him, was not creditable. For most of Col. Dudley's trouble undoubtedly came through his greatest virtue friendship. No one has ever questioned his true loyalty toward nation, friends and party. His friendship and his hospitality and courtesy were proverbial. His gallantry on the field of battle, his efficient conduct of the pension department and his ability as a lawyer are said by those who knew him, to have been dominated by loyalty. ? Such secrets as his are the ones which are never disclosed. They remain a mystery. I would seem that with his other characteristics Col. Dudley would suffer the whole penalty rather than implicate another. THE NEW ORDER Boston has just overthrown the old order of things and adopted a new charter. The new charter is In line with the principles of the Commission Form of Government, started throughout the country In the cities of average size. Boston Is the first of the larg? cities to go over to the new order. "Plan No. 2," which was opposed by the professional politicians and large interests, was adopted by the people, who revolted from their spoilers when the chance was given them. This plan provides for a centralized form of city government, ward lines are abolished, put In popular nominations. The recall is introduced. And that Is much gained. This is not commission government it may be objected. Technically speaking it may not be but it involves the whole spirit of the movement. Th-3 fundamentals are those of efficient government gained from centralized power with the safeguards in the peoples hands at will. In this Boston has set an example to the larger cities. And it has been the past experience that the large cities are the hardest to handle. This is not reform, but regeneration. Hems Gathered in From Far and Near Lurton's Appointment. From the New York World. While the question of age is entitled to due consideration, there is a wida difference between promoting a sixty-five-year-old circuit judge to the supreme court and naming a sixty-five-year old lawyer engaged in prlvat practice. Judge Lurton has been on the bench for sixteen years and he already knows his trade. He has been dealing with the same class of cases and the same constitutional questions that will come before him as an associate Justice of the Supreme Court. There is much to be said in favor of selecting supreme court Justices from the " ; judges of the Inferior federal courts, and Judge Lurton s appointment has the additional merit of har-

lag been influenced by no partisan or political considerations of any sort whatsoever.

Twenty-one Billions in Banks. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The statement that the banking resources of this country amount to more than twenty-one billions of dollars is simply amazing. They comprise onesixth of our estimated national wealth and indicate much larger liquid capital than had been supposed. Thft is the first statement ever made which covers every sort of banking institution in the country and is the result of the researches of the monetary commission. It is not quite fair to say that all of this is liquid capital, sine; necessarily large portions of the funds of the banks are invested in real estate mortgages, but even these have a realizable value which is quicker than that of real estate Itself. The Open-Window Schoolroom. From the Chicago Record-Herald. An open-window room in the Graham School has proved a success during this cold weather. The children are dressed warmly. Their lungs are full of good oxygen. Their bodily beating plants are in good order. They study better, catch cold less frequently and are generally happier than if they were in the ordinary heated rooms. Old fogies will raise their hands in horror at the thought. But anybody who has tried sleeping out of doors say in weather as that of the last few days knows that it is easy to keep warm and that the hardships are non at all, while the compensations are many. Architecture in Washington. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. When Senator Newlands gets his bill through Congress to create a bureau and council of fine arts to improve Washington architecture the body ought to meet every Monday mornin to weep over the United States Treas ury building, which occupies a hole in the ground, and adjourn to meet Fri day afternoon to a point in front of the post office building to offer pub lie prayers that nothing like it may ever occur again. The Polar Row. From the Springfield Republican. The Cook-Peary war has possibly only begun. The critical develop ment in the near future will be the de cision at Copenhagen. If that should sustain the doctor wow! 7 WINKLES (By Philander Johnson) A Time Waster. "I saw you standing under the mis tletoe with Mr. Hibrow." "Yes," answered the good-looking girl.

We know he's in a hurry; His dress is most complete, But sad disorder slowly drifts Across the picture neat. His face is growing redder; He stops to puff and sigh! It is a time of wild dismay When father ties his tie! His hair is getting rumpled. He fiercely shakes his fist; He stands upon cne foot and does A classic dancing twist. We shudder in our terror And all prepare to fly. Our home sweet home goes to the bad When father ties his tie! 10 SERVE A SUPPER (Palladium Special) Greensfork. Ind., Dec 17.

Will Render Christmas Concert Earlham Oratorio Society Tomorrow Evening Will Offer an Attraction Which Will Be a Musical Treat.

The Earlham college Oratorio society, under the direction of Professor Cleveland K. Chase and with the assistance of several soloists from the city, will give a Christmas concert in Lindley hall at the college, Saturday evening at 8:15 o'clock. The Oratorio society, which was recently organized, has a membership of one hundred students, about one-third of the student body of the college. It grew out of the Oratorio society which was organized at Earlham several years ago and promises to eclipse that in its rendition of Christmas carols and Latin. French and German oratorios. Miss Lucy Francisco at the head of the department of music at the college will be the accompanist. The society will be assisted by some of the best soloists in the city. Mr. Frank Braffett, Mrs. Krueger, Mrs. Gorman and Mrs. Longnecker being on the program. Miss Barrett, a student at Earlham. and one of the best soloists at the college, will also sing. The following program is one of tae best to be rendered in the city in re cent years: Processional: "God Itest You Merry, Gentlemen" Traditional Melody. Christmas Carol, "Stille Nacht" German Folk Song. "Sing We Noel" French Carol of the lCth Century Miss Barrett and Chorus "The Birthday of a King". .Neidlinger Mr. Frank Uraffett LOCAL OPTION IS NO LONGER HELD AS PARTY ISSOE (Continued From Page One.) sweep the state by 100,000. E. E. Neal, of Noblesville, president of the Indiana Lincoln league, and building and loan clerk, in the office of the state auditor, says, however, that the republicans would sweep the state like a prairie fire if the democrats should happen to make such a declaration. Neal is a candidate for the republican nomination for congress in the Ninth district. E. S. Shumaker, state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league, says additional liquor legislation will be asked of the next legislature, though just what kind is not yet known. But he says it is likely that an effort will be made to get a law that will prevent the shipment of liquor from wet territory m the state. Also a law that will further regulate druggists in the sale of liquors. Not Yet Settled. But whether there will be any de mand for state wide prohibition is not yet settled, and will not be until the trustees of the Anti-Saloon league meet probably next month, and outline a program. Shumaker is red hot for state wide prohibition, and says he believes it is time to bring it about by statutory enactment. He does not believe it to be the right time to ask for a constitutional amendment on the subject, however. He says he will try to make the trustees see it his way when they meet, though they may not accept his view. Shumaker's position on the question of state wide prohibition has brought about a serious difference of opinion in the ranks of the Anti-Saloon league so serious, in fact, that E. M. Barney, superintendent of the Indianapolis district, which includes all of the eastern central counties all the way to the Ohio line, is to hand in his resignation, to take effect the first of January. He announced his resignation yesterday. after the decision of the supreme court had been made. R. C. Minton, the attorney for the league, also is opposed to state wide prohibition, and it ned not surprise anyone to read of his re tirement at any time. But the trus tees of the league may decide to ask for such a law at the next session of the legislature, and if they do it will mean another bitter fight. Marshall is Anxious. The party leaders are hoping that the liquor question will be kept out of the platform, one of the most ardent of these being Governor Marshall. A. G. Cavins, assistant attorney gen eral in the office of James Bingham, has made a statement as to the effects of the local option decision. He says that the law speaks for itself and that it is so plain in its provisions that it can not well be misunderstood. In some counties where petitions for local option elections were filed with the county commissioners." he says, "the commissioners either hesi tated or refused to call an election; on :he ground that the law was unconsti tutional and that any expenditure o! money under an unconstitutional law would be illegal. From now on, how ever, there will be no further ques tion along that line. ! Must Call Election. j Whenever a proper petition is pre-j sented to the county commissioners they will be obliged to call the election, whether they ant to or not. In a good many counties where elections were held and where the county went dry by vote, some of the saloon men filed applications for new liquor li censes after the elections. Of course. these applications were not granted by the commissioners, and they were still pending when the supreme court decision was . handed down. These m?n merely were trying to save themselves and be on the safe side in case the lo cal option law was held unconstitution al. But the supreme court decision settled all of that. It killed all of these applications. "Under the law as it stands now, it is hard to tell just what the liquor dealer's rights are. The decision in the Beardsley law case makes it illegal for a brewery to sell beer to anyone except a licensed retail dealer. Of

course, the retail dealer must obey the law in his own county as well as In the dry county into which he may wish to ship his goods. Therefore, any sal of liquor which he may make must be made at his saloon in the room covered by his license, and not elsewhere. But I do not see anything that prevents a man from sending an order from dry territory to a retail dealer in wet territory and having the stuff shipped to him. This, however, is a question that has been decided both ways, and no hard and fast rule can be laid down until the supreme court decides it." The decision of the supreme court was not much of a surprise to a gooi many saloon keepers and brewers. One prominent brewer said the other day that there was not one chance in a thousand that the court would hold th? law constitutional. On the other hand the word was passed around a short time ago among saloon men who had been put out of business in dry territory that the law would be knocked out, and they were advised to held their rooms and their fixtures and be ready to resume business as soon as the decision was rendered. Many of them, it is said, paid out hundreds of dollars in rent to hold the rooms, and now they are left to hold the sack. APPOINTS DEPUTY TO QUIET DRUNKS No Longer May Invaders Cambridge City Be Rowdy on the Cars. of BOTH TOWNS HAVE A KICK NEITHER NEW CASTLE OR CAMBRIDGE CITY TO HAVE ANY MORE TROUBLE WITH THE "ROUGH NECK" CLASS. (Palladium Special) Cambridge City, Dec. 17. Every Saturday night since New Castle went "dry," the Flower City has unloaded a bunch of drunks on Cambridge City, until the latter town has become extremely tired of the fact, and a strenuous effort will now be made to put a stop to the nuisance. For the purpose of quelling the great disorder which reigns on every interurban car between New Castle and Cambridge City on Saturday nights, the sheriff of Henry county has deputized Charles Valderaner, a freight motorman on the T. H. I. & E. traction company, to preserve a more peaceful atmosphere. The matter has been the occasion of i considerable complaint for some time, not only by the residents of Cambridge City, but by the residents or New Castle as well. Cambridge City registers a kick because it gets blamed for the excessive thirst of many New Castle citizens, while New Castle, in turn is there with a complaint for the 925, 927 and 929 MAIN G

There Will Be Local Council of United Commercial Travelers. SOME OF LOCAL BACKERS HIGH STATE OFFICIAL WILL ARRIVE HERE TOMORROW AND OPEN UP HEADQUARTERS AT THE WESTCOTT HOTEL. In the near future Richmond is t,J .. a locai council or the Order -f United Commercial Travelers of America. A charter list for a lodge or council of this Order is in circulation among the commercial travelers and considerable progress has already been made. Some of those interested in the moement are IVrry Hamilton. V. F. Young. F. M. Nixon, Frank Farquhar. R, H. Reynolds, Phillip Smith. Frank B. Hudson, J. H. Clements anl II. P. Highley. Recently Mr. Charles W. Rice of New York City, the national representative of the Order, was at the Wescott hotel, conferring with some of the Richmond commercial travelers in regard to this matter. M. R. Thompson, of Alexandria, Indiana, the Grand Counselor of the. state will be here tomorrow by invitation of the lo cal men. who are pushing forward this movement. A Secret Society. Mr. Thompson will make his headquarters at the Westcott hotel. The Order of United Commercial Travelers was incorporated twenty-two years ago. It is in every sense a secret society with its obligations, grips, signs and passwords, like any other fraternity, composed only of commercial travelers and city salesmen, and it is said to b? the only secret fraternity in the world composed of one class of men. It was incorporated in the state of Ohio, and its international headquarters are in Columbus. The total membership of the order is over ii.VOo, and ther are now 4 local or subordinate councils and 23 grand or state councils. Objects of the Order. The objects of the order are, First., to unite fraternally all commercial travelers of good moral character: second, to give all moral and material aid in its power to Its members and those dependent upon them: also to assist the widows and orphans of deceased members: third, to establish an "indemnity fund" to indemnify its members for disability or death resulting from accidental means. large quantities of "laughing water" imnnrtod intn fho Vlnn'.r fM.r oH -"' Henry county, both m the dry list.

The drunks will receive attention and a complaint from the conductor to Valderaner of any disorder on the cars, will result in the arrest of the trouble brewers and ' their confinement in the lockup at! Dunreith. It is thought the presence or the deputy will have a great influence towards lessening the practice and eventually will put a stop to the matter altogether. APPOINT DR.

You will distinctly feel that your kidneys and urinary organs are bein cleaned, healed and vitalized, and all the miserable symptoms, such as backathe, headache, nervousness, rheumatism and darting pains, inflamed or swollen eyelids, irritability, sleepless ness, or suppressed, painful or frequen' urination tespecialiy at night and other distress. leaving after taking the first few doses. The moment you suspect any kidnev or urinary disorder, or rheumatism, begin taking this harmless preparation ARE GIVEN CREDIT Health Board Says the Local Dealers Observe the Pure Food Statute. SANITATION IS PERFECT No difficulty is experienced by the board of health department, it is said, in compelling the merchants of this city to obey the pure food law. Some time ago it was a common occurrence to see meat dealers offering for sale dressed rabbits which were permitted to hang in bunches on a string in front of the store. However, such a spectacle cannot be witnessed in this city at present. The rabbits are kept in closed cases, as provided by law, and the most strict sanitation ia enforced at all times. Such cannot be said of many other cities in the state where the pure food law is disregarded, despite the efforts of the board of health.
