Caly ts tea m sositlTisd fa Its nyert an the AnosUttam. MR. WATSON MISUNDERSTOOD. Mr. William Watson, the English poet, is misunderstood by a large majority of Americana. Mr. Watson is judged as a poet, as a man and as a thinker, by the thought of his poem, "The Woman With the Serpent's Tongue," which he admitted was an attack on Lady Asquith and her daughter. Miss Violet, Instead of by his other literary attainments. The embryo judgment of Americans in general of a man's literary abilities, Is kept as final, and given when the knowledge of an author's worst effort Is known. They are too apt to take up a literary work, hastily glance through it and pass judgment upon the author and condemn him for something they know nothing of. We admit that Mr. Watson's poem on Lady Asquith is a breach of propriety, but Mr. Watson as a poet must not be judged by bis work on this poem. In bis recent book, of "New Poems" he has incorporated some very beautiful poems and sonnets. The first poem in the book, "The Blacksmith," when read by the casual reader, cannot help but Impress him with the art of the English poet. ' One phrase especially may be Quoted in defense of his notorious work. How do we know but that Mr. Watson was at war with himself when he wrote "The Woman With the Serpent's Tongue?" In his poem, "The Blacksmith," he says that some things are as hard to overcome a ,- '; ; ; - v "A sin being fought with ' That is bred in the bone." Charity is one of the virtues many Americans should strive to possess and especially in reference to their con tamination of authors and literary works. : THE BRITISH ELECTIONS. One of the most pertinent results of the British elections provided the Liberal party is victorious and the indications are that it will be, is that the House of Lords will consider itself rebuked by the people and shorn of its power of rejecting the budget, when it is presented by the House of Commons. The government of Great Britain 13 peculiar to many Americans and misunderstood by a large majority. We have nothing in America that we can cdmpare with the government of John Bull. In England, when . the House of Commons passes an ordinary measure, it is presented to the House of Lords and they, as a formality, confirm the -measurs. It is then sent to the King who signs It. This method of proceedure has become a part of the constitutional law of the British Isles and for three hundred years the rights of the lower house to pass all financial measures, and readily secure the concurrence of the Lords, was not questioned. The end of this three hundred years of peace came rather unexpectedly a few months ago when the House of Lord? rejected the budget. Now, according to the English unwritten constitution, when a measure is rejected by the Lords the cabinet must resign. Parliament is dissolved and a new election is called for. This la precisely what has taken place in England during the past few months. The Liberal party has contended throughout the campaign that the budget as submitted by David Lord George was the proper financial measure for the British Isles. It was rejected by the Lords because it placed a tax on the necessities of life. The Peers said, Tax the bread, I dont eat It." while the people maintained that the luxuries of life should be taxed. This, latter provision was incorporated in the late budget and passed by the House of Commons. The Lords, after some debate,, rejected It and the matter was placed before the people. The elecUona were held Saturday and

Monday. . From the reports that have reached us it seems that the Liberal party Is the victorious one. If this is

authentic Jt means ' that - the former Cabinet with Mr. Asquith as Premier, Is vindicated and their proposition of taxing the luxuries of life sustained by the people. The next step to be taken by the government will be a new organization of the House, which is really a reorganization of the Cabinet The Lords will accept the rebuke of the election and probably never again veto a financial measure when it Is presented by the Cabinet and passed by the Commons. TROUBLE AMONG THE SPIRITS. Perhaps Halley's comet is to blame for the recent perverseness of the spirits. It is not with any desire to discredit the celestial traveler that is after an absence of many years again visiting in this nelghborbool that we call attention to recent untoward practices by the spooks. We have no quarrel with the comet and merely throw out the suggest ion that its arrival within our planet's sphere of influence may have effected the spirits in such a manner as to develop within them if it Is possible for things to be developed within spirits a disposition to become tricky and unreliable if not positively glagitious. A few months ago Mine Eusapia Pallading, the famous Italian spirit medium, a lady who had in her native land baffled scientists and counfounded skeptics, was brought to this country for the purpose of creating a furore and opening up a line of communication between the United States and the hereafter. Arrangements were made for a series of seances to which an admission fee of $r0 was to be charged, and the madame threw open the psychic throttle. After two or three demonstrations there was a sudden slump in Pallading enthusiasm. Charges of trickery were mad? by some of the professors and other experts in spookology, and at the hour of going to press Mme. Ualladino Is in evidence to about the same extent as Dr. Cook. Here in Chicago the spirits have recently been perniciously obdurate. Not long ago they were accused of having caused a man and his wife to apply to the divorce court for an adjustment of their troubles, and a little later a spook emporium on the West Side was visited by several policemen who acquired a. patrol-wagon full of spirits equipped with cheap puffs and false teeth. Now we have a dispatch from New York relating a confession of Miss Antoinette E. Gazzam, a wealthy young woman who has been sued for alienating the affections of another woman's husband. Miss Gazzam says she went to Los Angeles and there met W. E. Clark, a clairvoyant, to whom she applied for information concerning the identity of ber soul mate. "Then came soul work," says Miss Gazzam. "It was delightful at first, but soon he began to join me in the astral and to wring mental confessions from me. I suffered the tortures of hell." But eventually the lady began to reverence the clairvoyant; she thought him greater than Socrates; in fact, re garded him as an exalted being a second Messiah and finally he confided to her the awful secret that he was the soul mate for whom she was searching. "He kissed me many times," she says, "though I should have preferred Dow To Cure Your Own Kidneys A New Guaranteed Treatment, The Best That the World's Best Kidney Specialists Could Give You. Here is the best remedy for your kidneys, backache and the diseases that come from bad kidneys that the world's greatest brains can give you. Take advantage of it. Cut this out and keep it. If your kidneys are too far gone, nothing else may save you. It then rests with your Maker. Now, if you have pain in the small of the back at times or constantly, if the urine is profuse or scanty, if it is smoky or cloudy after it stands a few hours, or has a bad odor, or if you have pain in the bladder or a touch of rheumatism anywhere, the chances are almost 100 to 1 that your kidneys are clogged with body poisons of various kinds. Bladder troubles, rheumatism, Blight's disease and so on, come from bad, dying kidneys. They can't throw out the poisons. Stop everything else you may be taking for your kidneys, bladder or rheumatism. Stop! Put your whole heart and soul in the following treatment and go to bed -tonight never more doubting for a moment that you will be quickly relieved and saved.

that our relations had been more spiritual." ; We do not propose to pronounce judgment on Clairvoyant Vlark. The courts are preparing to do that; but we cannot refrain from concluding that the case of Miss Gazzam taken in connection with the others to which reference has been made would indicate to the unprejudiced bystander that the spirits have recently been getting in bad. It would be unfortunate to attach undue suspicion to the Halley comet, but if it is exerting a baleful influence on our spirits and mediums the fact ought to be brought out. Let the blame rest where it belongs, even if we must seem lacking in kindness to a stranger. Chicago Record-Herald.

7 WINKLES (By Philander Johnson) Satisfied. "You say Mrs. Giltington's ex-husband is content with the divorce?" "Yes," answered Miss Cayenne. "He says the alimony doesn't amount to nearly as much as he would have been willing to pay In order to reach the same understanding." "Friendship," said Uncle Eben, "Is what encourages you to look th'oo de right end of a telescope to see a man's good qualities an' th'oo de wrong end to see his faults." A Career. The boys once made a man of snow; He melted when a warm wave came Like many another who could show Far greater claim to earthly fame. Another Excuse. "Why do you delay meeting that fighter? You aren't afraid of him, are you?" Afraid? I should say not!" replied the pugilist. "Then what's the trouble?" "Well, to tell you the truth, I hold him in such hatred and contempt that I can't bring myself to the point of getting into the ring and shaking hands with him, even as a formality." Information. "Even if the suffragettes had their way," said the philosophic person, "your wife would come to you for information before she went to vote." "Yes," answered Mr. Meekton; "she would probably ask me if her hat was on straight." A Reminder. How was I dazzled by his art when at an earlier age . . . . From lofty heights I gazed upon this hero of the stage! How great the fascination of his eyes that seemed to glow With something more than mortal ' light when he played Romeo! He seemed the living spirit of the poetry he read. I almost worshipped every hair upon his classic head. Again I went to see him it was just the other day And suddenl observed that he is wearing a toupee! His step was just as light as in those radiant hours gone by. There was grace in every movement; there was music in his sigh. And with the passing years that riptn man's artistic sense, His tones lent to the lines he spoke new beauty more intense. But all his eloquence and skill could not efface regret For that deception which I can excuse but not forget. His locks are glossy and profuse while mine have ebbed away. It is a special privilege of art, that fine toupee. His moods are just as buoyant and light-hearted as of yore, When from the gallery I looked down on the orchestral floor. And 'neath a slenderer waistline put away the peanut sweet. And in my wild applauding crushed the shells beneath my feet. Tis vain to seek the comfort of the philosophic friend Who vows that truly youthful hearts are youthful to the end. This one reminder, email but grim, leaves nothing more to say; My favorite hero of the stage is wearing a toupee! MEETINGS ARE HELD (Palladium Special) Greensfork, Ind., Jan. 19.

A FEW COUNTIES ARE VERY LUCKY They Receive More From School Fund Than They Have Paid Into It. WAYNE NOT ON THE LIST THIS COUNTY IS ONE OF THE UNFORTUNATE ONES THAT HAVE TO HELP KEEP THE OTHERS ON THEIR FEET. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. IS. Many counties in the state, including Vanderburg, Allen, Vigo, St. Joseph and Lake, receive from the - state more school fund money than they pay Into the state treasury. This was discovered when the superintendent of pub lic Instruction made up the distribution account this week. Warrants from the office of the auditor of state have been sent to the various counties of the state aggregating $1,356,238.43, for the January apportionment Forty-one of the ninety-two counties in the state receive more than they paid in. Marion county, however, was not one of these. Marion county paid in $148,495.28, and received $98,489.44, or 66 1-3 per cent. Of the so-called "big five" counties Marion, Vigo, Van derburgh, Allen and St. Joseph Marl on is the only one which paid in more than it received. Vigo received 118 per cent of the amount paid in, or $41473.88. Vanderburgh received 128 1-3 per cent, or $40,721.38. Allen received 110.7 per cent, or $46,889.86, St. Joseph received 132.2 per cent, or $38,038.96. Lake county, which is pressing hard on the big five counties. received 116.6 per cent, or $33,696.77. Benton Holds Record. The lowest percentage of return is found in the case of Benton county, which received 44.8 of the amount paid In, or $6,360.39. Warren county came next with 50.1, or $5,153.07. Among the lesser counties which received a great deal more money than they paid in are the following: Perry, 249.9 per cent, or $10,937.83: Crawford, 207.7 per cent or $6,670.35; Brown, 173.4 per cent, or $4,959.40. . . The additional counties which re ceived more than they paid in werethe following: Adams, Clark, Clay, Dear born, Delaware, Dubois, Elkhart, Floyd. Gibson, Grant, Greene, Harri son, Howard, Jackson, Jay, Jefferson, Jennings, Laporte, Lawrence, Madison, Martin, Monroe, Orange. Owen, Pike, Pulaski, Ripley, Scott, Spencer, Sulli van, Switzerland, Warrick, and Washington. All the remainder of the counties paid in more than they re ceived. " -f , The large list of counties which re ceived more money than they paid into the fund is accounted for by state superintendent of public instruction, R. J. Aley, by two chief causes the large number of children in counties having property of low assessment value, and the sequestration of taxables connected with the tendency of county and township officials to keep the assessment valuation rate low on really valuable property. The latter cause, the state superintendent believes, to be chiefly at fault, especially in the larger counties containing cities of Immense wealth. Statement by Aley. "If taxation was equally distributed," says Aley, "so that the large property holder would be compelled to pay taxes on every dollar's worth of property he possesses, and if the taxing officials would see to it that a just and reasonable assessment valuation is placed on taxables, the semi-annual apportionment would not show this great list of cpunties receiving; more money than they pay in. It is the fault of local conditions, and how much longer the counties which are continually paying in more than they receive are going to stand for it is hard to telL The condition is very unjust, but until taxIns officials see their duty I do sot see

how It can be helped. Of course, there will always be some counties which will not pay in as much as they receive, but it seems to me entirely useless that forty-one of them should be in such a list, and among these some of the wealthiest counties in the state." J terns Gathered in From Far and Near PINCHOT. From the Indianapolis News. The sentiment of the press on the Pinchot case is: "What else could the President do? But what a pity It is to lose such a man from the public service'" From the Memphis News-Scimetar. Mr. Pinchot's ginger jar has by no! meens been exhausted. From the Chicago Tribune. Mr. Taft has done all that an earnest man can do to remove the hyphen from the PInchot-Balllnger controversy. From the New Orleans Times-Democrat As an emblem of the present administration, the ax would appear to be far more appropriate than the big stick. From the Buffalo Express. In the conservation of conversation, Pinchot was no expert. From the Houston Post Pinchot must have thought this: "He might have dissembled our love, but why didn't he pad the toe of his boot?" From the Detroit News. Mr. Taft was greatly mistaken if he thought Mr Pinchot was a man lil" Mr. Crane. From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Of course, it is just as well to re member that Gifford Pinchot enterc the forestry service at the request o' President McKinley, a fact which hi? agitated friends are quite apt to overlook.

As well ask "Are all doctors quacks? n or aArcf all lawyers shysters?" We all know there are ignorant quacks; does that prevent anyone calling in his good, old family physician m case of need and trusting him ? There are shysters, but there are also honorable lawyers to whom we confidently trust our lives and fortunes. There are fake medicines advertised ; but they are not fakes because they are advertised. A good thing is worth advertising; we all want to know about it The more a bad thing is advertised, the worse for it in the end. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is no fake; yet it is advertised; it advertises itself; and those who nave used it are its best advertisers, and that free of cost. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has proved its merit by more than thirty years general use. This simple, old-fashioned remedy, made from roots and herbs, has become the standard medicine for ailments peculiar to women, its fame is world-wide. Read this plain, honest statement of what the medicine did for one woman; her own words; if you doubt, write and ask her.

While the insurgents at Washington are proclaiming their adherence to the legislative program of President Taft, and support .for his administration, the Insurgents at Lincoln were considering a resolution arraigning and denouncing the president Either there are two kinds of insurgents or they are not keeping well In touch with one an other. From the Sioux City Tribune. The insurgents are not complaining over the political medicine adminis tered at the White House, but are con fining their criticisms to th diagnosis made by a short-sighted physician. From the Philadelphia North Ameri can. ' Vice President Sherman denounces the insurgents in -congress as men who simply want to please their con stituents.

It Is Impossible to regard even the most wonderful achievement as final. If last year marked the establishment of the flying machine as a practical invention, this year promises to carry its development beyond what at first appeared the wildest expectations. From the St Louis Globe-Democrat In spite of occasional fatal falls the aeroplane men keep busy, and it must be admitted that, on the whole, they are making good. From the Chicago News.
