The raid made by the police on the restaurant owned by Charles Proffit, Saturday night, will have a beneficial effect on the community. Mr. Prof fit may be guilty, and he may be innocent, of running a blind tiger. We have nothing to say as to that. But we do say the police action shows the administration means to carry out the policy of law enforcement, outlined by Mayor Zimmerman. Prior to the nomination and election of Dr.. Zimmerman, frequent charges were made that if be was elected the city would be thrown wide open to all manner of vice, and that the laws would not be enforced. After his election he made his selections of appointive officers carefully. His selection of Aleck Gormon as chief of police, brought forth the remark from some quarters, "see, we are going to have ths same conditions as under the former Zimmerman regime," insinuating that the administration would be "rotten." The wise ones said, "I'm glad Gormon was selected, as he was one of the best police chiefs we ever had." This Proffit affair shows that the officers have their eyes open and are not going to wink at violations of the law. Whether Proffit is found innocent or guilty of a violation of the law, It matters little, the effect will be for good. It behooves all those, who have an Idea that they can break the law with impunity, to be careful. THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAICN. If the republicans do not carry the next house It will not be through lack of intelligent organization for the fray. The men selected to conduct the fight are competent and experienced, and the selection of headquarters shows the proper appraisement of the national situation. Chicago is the town. It lies near the territory where most republican disaffection exists. It Is in the mid dle states and the northwest that criticism ot the Payne law still lingers, . and warfare on "Cannonism" finds aggressive and open expression. To be sure, there are insurgents in the east several in New England. But no such uneasiness prevails as to that quarter that stirs the republican leaders as to Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas and Nebraska. It is when thase leaders cast their eyes west of the Allegheuies that they propound themselves the searching question, "What shall we do to be saved?" There is a good deal to be done. All the republican denunciation of the Payne law poured out while that measure was passing through congress is to be met. All the republican assertion that Aldrlchism and Cannonism have taken the place of republicanism, and must be eliminated if the party is to deserve indorsement this year, must be refuted. There is a large volume of this. In fact, democratic spellbinders will occupy their time largely with reading from republican deliverances about republican performances. They need not prepare any lengthy discourses of their own. Material in abundance has been prepared for them and they have only to explode republican shells in republican camps. The question is asked. Will the committee assist insurgents who stand for re-election? Is it not in the power of thoselnsurgents to determine that matter themselves? The question grows out of the suggestion made by Senator Gore that the candidacies of such men he promoted by the democrats of their districts; that if elected they will serve good democratic purposes in the next house. Mr. Gore expressed merely an opinion. He did ' not assume, had no authority, to speak - for any of the men in question. It is a plain proposition that the re-

publican committee will interest Itself only in the campaign of republican candidates. The effort will be to secure republican control of the Sixty-

second House. All candidates, therefore, who claim to be republicans, and pledge themselves to act in office with their party, will be entitled to the very fullest aid the committee can render. Who else will be entitled to the committee's aid? Should the committee waste its substance on men who, if elected, will co-operate with the democrats for the republican party's embarrassment? In other words', it will make all the difference in the world whose republican is Gored. Washington Star. Items Gathered in From Far and Near Will the Consumer Combine? From the New York Tribune. It is not necessary to guess how important will be the effect of the "meat strike," which now appears to be spreading rapidly over the country. The strikers may be in earnest, or there may be much talk, but little resolute action, as in the case of the cotton growers' combinations, which vowed to burn a certain percentage of the big crop of a few years ago, and which, if we mistake not, actually did burn one bale. But whatever the course of the "strike" may be, the movement is significant as the first considerable attempt at joint action on the part of consumers. While producers have been uniting to control or "regulate" prices we believe regu late is the less offensive wordwhlle trusts have been forming, while even farmers have been uniting into cotton, tobacco and grain growers' associations to limit the supply of produce, while laborers have been getting together to agree among themselves how much labor they would sell and how much they would demand for it, the consumer has gone on serenely indifferent to what was being done by those who supplied his wants. Now something has happened to his pocket book. Will he, too. imitate his enemy and form combinations? Civil Service Pensions. From Putnam's Magazine. The retirement or pension scheme is an Integral part of the merit system which lies at the foundation of governmental employment. Experience has proved and common sense teaches that the business of the government can be effectually conducted only by adherence to a general standard of practical efficiency for its employes. The maintenance of such a standard involves the displacement by young and active men of those who in service become disabled or superannuated. From a humane and civilized view point this can mean nothing less than adequate provision, in some form of pension, particularly to relieve the distress of the disabled or infirm, and in general to afford the enjoyment of that leisure which is the reward of faithful service. On the purely practical side such a provision is self-compensatory, so to speak, through its power to attract and retain the most desirable classes of employes. And in view of the mutuality of these interests it appears that the total cost of operating a pension or retirement scheme, which is the solution of the whole matter, may be justly shared between the government and its servants. Defense by Strategy. From the Omaha Bee. The ease with which our battleships run aground in our eastern harbors may suggest to the strategy board the advisability of letting the so-called channels remain accessible to foreign vessels in case ot war. Water Transportation on Mars. From Memphis Commercial-Appeal. If astronomical reports are true the chief industry in Mars is digging canals. TWINKLES (By Philander Johnson) The Pervasive Odor. "What is the most expensive perfume you know of?" And after a moment's thought, Mr. Chuggins replied, "Gasoline." The Inestimable Egg. "So you think that this idea of the anti-meateaters is impractical?" "Yes," answered Mr. Bliggins, "I don't see where the economy comes in when they advise eggs as a substitute." Looking Far Ahead. "Of course you will learn something about that man's financial cir cumstances before you consent to marry him?" said the solicitous friend. "Oh, yes," replied the New York woman. "I shall go further than that and ascertain just what his ideas are IntaGi.atis.1 Dr. Whitehall's Rheumatic Remedy for years the Standard Remedy for acute and chronic Rheumatism.

By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye THE FACE OF A CHILD. There is so muvh of good In the worst ot us And so much of bad in the best of us That it scarcely behooves any of us To talk about the rest of us. Whoever wrote the above lines, assuredly there is in them more of truth than of poetry. The other night a burglar, masked and armed with a revolver and a "jimmy." entered the home of Adolpb Hubert of Rogers I'ark, III. lie held up Hubert and his wife in their bed at the muzzle of bis weapon and got $5. all the money lu sight. The burglar started to back away wbeu be caught sight of little Marie Hubert, aged four years, asleep in her crib. What was it? Did be have children at home, or was it some tender resolution? Anyway, this burglar who a few moments before was a desperado went over to the crib and looked a long time down lu the face of the sweetly sleeping child. Then be went back to the bedside of Mr. and .Mrs. Hubert, handed over the $3 be bad taken, dug up a quarter besides and said: "This Is my cliauge. aud I baven't got a whole lot either. I need it. but I'm going to leave It for the little kid." His voice grew busky. "Just baud her this quarter wbeu she wakes up, will you? She's all right." Then he went away.

A story was in circulation here today that Lawson Harvey of Indianapolis would be a candidate for the nomination of appellate judge instead of for the place of supreme judge and that he would seek the place on the appellate bench now held by C. C. Hadley and for which Mr. Hadley will again be a candidate. Mr. Harvey, however, denied the rumor. He declared that he had no idea of being a candidate for the appellate bench, but that he had not made up his mind as to whether he will be a candidate for the supreme bench. If he is a candidate for the supreme bench he will seek the place ; now held by Judge John V. Hadley, who is not a candidate for re-election. Judge Frank Roby of the appellate vourt also is a candidate for this place. Judge Roby, when he was elected, lived at Auburn and Auburn is not In the district of the supreme j court for which he is now seeking elec tion. He was asked today whether he had changed his place of residence to Indianapolis, but refused to discuss the .question. At the time it was an nouncea publicly that he would be a ; candidate for the supreme court, and lit was taken that this announcement was official, it was stated that he was I sojourning in Indianapolis.

BOTH SIDES WANT All EARLY HEARING

Corporation Tax Law Case Is Now Before the U. S. Supreme Court. EXPECT RULING BY JUNE AN ISSUE OF STATES AS WELL AS PERSONAL RIGHTS IS SAID TO BE INVOLVED IN IMPORTANT CASE. Washington, Jan. 25. In event of the failure of the attempt to obtain a decision from the Supreme Court of the United States as to the constitutionality of the corporation tax provisions of the Payne tariff act before March 1, the date by which the return on the income of corporations must be filed, congress may be asked to extend the date for the law becoming operative. The suit in which the point arises, that of Stella P. Flint, as general guarlian of the property of Samuel N. Stone, Jr., a minor, against the StoneTracy company, of Windsor, Vt., was lecided in the lower Court. last Thursday. Much time probably will be required by attorneys to prepare their briefs and arguments, and if the supreme "ourt takes its usual recess of three veeks in February a decision before March is regarded as improbable. Urged Early Hearing. Colicitor-General Sewers yesterday asked the supreme court for permission for the government to submit oral ar guments and briefs in the Vermont case. At the same time Mr. Bowers asked in his brief submitted to the court that the case be advanced for an early hearing. "The deep interest of both the gov ernment and of citizens affected by the tax throughout the country in a determination of this court concerning the constitutionality of the taxing act before the close of the period for , payment of the tax, June 30, next," j said Mr. Bowers, "is apparent. The j government therefore expressed its-; entire accord with the motion which appeliant has submitted that the cause be advanced and set for hearing on a day during the present term." Mr. Bowers said in his brief that among the specific questions of highest importance which are involved in the general inquiry concerning the constitutionality of the taxing law are these: "Whether the tax is direct in the constitutional sense and is void because not apportioned among the states in proportion to their population. Issue of State Rights. "Whether the tax improperly interferes with the general taxing power of the state to create corporations. "Whether the tax Is invalid in so far as the net income of an incorporation may be attributable to state or municipal bonds held by the corporation as part of its business capital. "Whether the tax is invalid in the case of public service corporations chartered by a state. "Whether the taxing act makes an improper distinction 'jetwoea corporations on the one hand and partnerships and individuals on the othe." hand engaged in the same business. "Whether the exemptions enumerated in the statute are sustainr.Vo." In open Court Mr. Evarts assert that the case be advanced. When Mr. Bowers formally submitted his motion for the Government to be permitted to admit arguments :ml briefs and that th case be advanced. Chief Justice Fuller inquired if th j tax could not be refunded if lator it was declared invalid. The Solicitor i replied that such a course might be a great burden on the parties concerned. The Court took the matter undor advisement. Coon Meat. Coon meat looks and tastes something like guinea fowl, being dark and tough unless fixed up right. A coon is more dainty and precise than a possum about what it eats. A possum, like a bog. will eat anything, any sort of carcass. MASONIC CALENDAR. Tuesday, Jan. -Richmond Lodge No. 196 F. & A.

PAID FOR HIS LOSS Allen County Farmers Do Not Suffer at the Hands of Careless Hunters. PLAN IS BEING ADOPTED (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Jan. 25. A plan which has been put into operation in Allen county for the protection of landowners whose stock is jeopardized by hunters probably will be extended through the co-operation of the Indiana State Fish and Game commission to other parts of the state. The commission is in thorough accord with the plan and hopes to see it taken up widely. The Allen county Sportsmen's Association started the movement in that county which is essentially this: The members raised money and bought food for the quail when the ground was covered with snow. This food was distributed among the farmers to be used until the birds could get their food on their own hook. It has also been arranged so that when a farmer loses any of his stock through the carelessness of a hunter he may file his claim with the association, and if it is found to be well-based he will be reimbursed. The association also has offered a bounty on hawks, owls and other birds and animals which make prey of rabbits and quail. The state commission regards this as one of the very best movements for the development of game that has ever been started in the state. HOLDER SELLS Bi Ed Holder, the well known liveryman, has sold his livery barn on I North Seventh street to Joe Steveni sen and the latter took possession to day. Mr. Stevenson was formerly en- ' gaged in the livery business in th'.s city for a number of years. The barn ' will be placed under the management of Orlando M. Lamb, and it is probable that several improvements will be made shortly. It is understood that Mr. Holder will ! go back into the circus business.

SCHOOL QUESTION TO BE DISCUSSED Presidents of State Normal Schools Will Hold Meeting Next Month. TEACHERS VERY SCARCE IN INDIANA AND THIS MATTER WILL RECEIVE CONSIDERATION. ALSO WHETHER PRESENT LAWS FILL THE BILL. (Palladium Special) Indianapolis; Jan. 2. It is not unlikely it is said that the question of whether some of the present school laws should be repealed or amended will be taken up at the meeting of the presidents of the normal schools of Indiana which will be held at the office of state superintendent Aley Feb. 1;. It is announced by Mr. Aley that one of the questions which ' will be considered is whether the new laws have resulted in the application of a higher class of students for admission to the normal schools. However, for some years there has been a scarcity of teachers in Indiana and it is believed that the 'tie requiring both high school am' normal training for first year teachers will lead to a still great er shortage. Should Be Good Law. In fact educators for some time have been considering whether if the laws are to remain as thty are there should not be some more forcible law in re gard to the consolidation of country schools. By consolidation the number of teachers needed would be smaller. Some of the educators believe that with consolidation there would be few er teachers and teachers of a higher grade. It is probable also that the question of distribution of school funds will be considered at the meeting Feb. ! There has been much objection recent ly to the present plan of distribution because some of the wealthier coun I ties are compelled to pay the expenses of education In ths poorer counties. The distribution is made on the basi3 of enumeration and not enrollment. Some of the wealthy counties pay in large taxes, but they have a small enu meration.
