Good Language. From the Columbus Journal. A very valuable habit tor a family to acquire is that of using pure and precise language. As a matter of art. such an acquisition is desirable. There are beauty and grace In the very form of language correctly and concisely spoken. There is a charm in the speaker who is careful, of his manner of speech. But far more important than the beauty of correct speech is the intellectual vigor which it stimulates and promotes. The use of good language encourages the habit of clear thinking. Speaking well and thinking well naturally go together. The intellectual process largely controls the manner of expression. This does not commend the use of stilted and pompous language, for that can be, and sometimes is used, to conceal the lack of thought. Our object is to discourage mussy, incoherent, scrappy and slangy speech, because it tends to ruin the mind and morals, too. People who use such language have confused ideas and lack an appreciation of what is true and beautiful. There Is nothing more serviceable in making good clean men and women out of the children, than a household habit of clear and concise expression. It promotes not only thinking, but thoughtfulness, and thoughtfulness is one of the greatest virtues of a home. But make exact and proper speech one of the institutions of, the home and it will remove from the heart many anxieties for the future of the child.

The War on Lagnappe. From the New York Sun. t News of grim, red-handed war comes to us from New Orleans, where the retail grocers, backed, we suppose, by the moral influence of the druggists, the marketmen, etc., are about to appeal to the legislature for a law prohibiting lagnappe and making its practice a misdemeanor. Lagnappe is a picturesque survival, the bestowal upon small purchasers of trivial donations, regulated by the size of the transaction, of gumdrops, candy and the like. They have tried to fight it by combination and mutual agreement but have failed. Some of them would not "tote fair." The institution is more than a hundred years old, and it dies hard, so after the modern fashion, of running to the government on every trivial provocation the grocers are about to ask the legislature to protect them against a custom of a century and a half's standing, of inconsiderable importance in itself and so easily "evened up" in practice as to make it negligible.

Waiting for Ida. From the Springfield Union. intend to reserve judgment on that Rockefeller Foundation until Ida Tarbell gets around to tell us what wickedness lies behind it.

Longevity and Health. From the Louisville Courier Journal. Dr. Parkhurst. is perfectly right in saying that no healthy man should die .at ninety. The trouble is that many of us die of ill health.

THE END OF THE RAINBOW. "Who said that 'Indiana was settled by people who started for the West and lost their nerve'?" Alfred Henry Lewis.

It is well for the author of that slanderous phrase that he is lost to fame or rather infamy. The sting in that quip is gone. In it is contained the real truth- of Indiana's greatness. Turn to your maps and you will see that those early settlers of the Golden West HAD to come across Indiana. And it is only today that it is beginning to be realized that it is to be the future glory of Indiana a greatness born of a natural resource which none can take away from us. That is geographical position. INDIANA IS GOING TO BE THE GREAT DISTRIBUTING CENTER OF THE COUNTRY. Today it occupies a pre-eminent position in that line. Consider Indianapolisthe largest inland city not on a navigable stream. There is a reason for that, and the reason is because it is a logical distributing point. And so it is that every city in the state has this same advantage and is making use of it. That is the reason that the old taunt does not sting.

THE PEOPLE WHO SETTLED IN INDIANA SAW THEIR OPPORTUNITYIT WAS AN OPPORTUNITY INCOMPARABLY GREATER IN THE LONG RUN THAN ALL THE RICHES OF THE GOLDEN WEST.

How long has it been since Gary was founded? Today, look at it. And do you think that the astute men of the United Steel Company did not know where they established the greatest steel plant in the world? They had a reason for it.

For the same reason, INDIANA IS THE REASON FOR CHICAGO.

It has not been six months since the York Manufacturing company moved from Pennsylvania to Evansvllle, so that it could be near the markets of the country and have all the advantages of the greatest distributing center in the United States Indiana! And from Tarrytown, if we mistake not, came a similar automobile company, for a similar reason, to New Castle.

Those who will read this will say. "You have mentioned four Indiana towns why don't you mention your own?" Never fear. We are coming to that. RICHMOND HAS SIX OF THE LARGEST BUSINESSES OF THEIR KIND IN THE COUNTRY. These industries are those which have been founded here BY MEN WHO SAW THEIR OPPORTUNITY AND WERE NOT AFRAID TO BACK THEIR JUDGMENT.

"Who said that Indiana was settled by people who started for the West and lost their nerve?" HAVING COME TO INDIANA THEY HAD SENSE ENOUGH TO STAY AND NERVE ENOUGH TO RESIST THE PRESS AGENT STORIES OF GLITTERING THINGS A THOUSAND MILES AWAY.

That taunt about Indiana is most popular in Iowa. Today Iowa has formed an association to KEEP MEN FROM GOING OUT OF THE STATE. TODAY THERE IS A FIGHT TO MAKE IOWANS INVEST THEIR MONEY IN IOWA BUSINESSES AND TO KEEP THEM FROM PUTTING THEIR MONEY IN WILD CAT, ENTERPRISES FARTHER WEST. Indiana has every natural resource to make it the greatest state in the whole Union. Some people are just beginning to wake up to the fact. Those are the people who lost their nerve and pass'ed by for the greener looking pastures at the end of the rainbow. They are coming back on another migration NOW. These same people who made the taunt. And now they have made the taunt into a source of pride.

RICHMOND IS ALL THAT AND MORE, TOO!

For the end of the rainbow chasing has come. And those who chased the pot of gold know now that it has always been in Indiana.

We'll sing about the purling rills That dance the meadows o'er; Of skies serene and blossoming hills, Just as in days of yore. We'll join the season's glad refrain, Until we hear, with helpless pain, "The fruit crop's gone to smash again" Just as in days of yore.

COUGHING BURST BLOOD VESSEL S?jh Danger Avoided and Cures Con&hs In 5 Honrs.

A writer for the medical press states that coughing: is responsible for the bursting: of blood vessels quite frequently. A cough or cold means inflaination (fever) and congestion, and these in turn indicate that the body is full of poisons and waste matter. Simple relief, as fouud in patent cou;rh medicines, and whiskey, often result in more harm than good; as they cause more congestion. A tonic-laxa-

tive cough syrup will work marvels and here follows a prescription which Is becoming- famous for its prompt relief and thorough cures. It rids the system of the cause, except it be consumption. Don't wait for consumption to grasp its victim, but begriu this treatment, which cures some In five hours. Mix in a bottle one-half ounce fluid wild cherry bark, one ounce compound essence cardiol and three ounces syrup white pine compound. Take twenty drops every half hour for four hours. Then one-half to one teaspoon -ful three or four times a day. Give children less according to age.

ONLY WORD, "BEER" That Was Extent of English Vocabulary of Italian Pinched Here.

INDULGES IN A BIG SOUSE

Knowing but the one word in the English language beer, Santo Feraco, who hails from sunny Italy, but who likes the American foamy water, was in a sad predicament in the city court this morning, and after the affidavit charging him with public intoxication had been read, the man's vacant stare changed to a look of intense perplexity. However. Frank Mercurio, a local Italian, came to Feraco's assistance and acted as interpreter, much to the man's relief. Feraco, with one of those hilarious "buns" on was arrested last evening at the corner of Fifth and Main street, by Patrolman Menke. He expostulated

with the officer against his apprehension, but the patrolman, who spoke only plain United States, said he thought so too, but to tell it to the mayor in the morning. When arrested Feraco had $15.02 on his person. He drew a fine of $1 and costs and about 30 minutes' useless effort was made in trying to explain to the foreigner Just what that meant. However, he understood when $4.02 was handed him along with his other effects.

Beveridge Brings Fear to the Democrats They Realize Taggart Has a Cinch on Senatorial Nomination, and That He Is JMot in the Class of the Republicans' Choice.

( Palladium Special) Indianapolis, March 11. One of the most important questions which will come up for consideration at the democratic state convention undoubtedly

will be the proposition of having the ; delegates to the convention nominate j the democratic candidate for United ; States Senator. This subject has been : discussed among democrats for some 1 time, but it has not been generally known that it will be one of the live wires of the convention. The word ot progressive and prominent demo crats is out that it will be. The subject has been revived more recently by John H. Spencer, a prominent democrat of Washington, who, wrote a letter here complaining in a way because more support was not given to the movement to have the convention nominate a candidate for United States senator. As a matter of fact, it is evident that one of the things which is now worrying a lot of the democrats is that Thomas Taggart is being boomed as the democratic candidate for United States senator and tne slogan of the Republicans is Beveridge vs. Taggart. Taggart a Dead Weight. It is not very encouraging to the democrats who are trying to make up a high class ticket this year to have Taggart as the Candidate for United States senator. Taggart has never given very many examples of high statesmanship which Beveridge represents has been well demonstrated. The only way for the democrats to pull out of the hole is to have a candidate for senator who will represent something, who will approach nearer to the standard set by Senator Beveridge. One of the best and most effective ways to do this, would be to have the state convention nominate the candidate for this place. The argument is made for this plan that it would give the people more of an opportunity through the 1,747 delegates they will send to the convention, to have something to say aout their senatorship candidate. Usually, when the nomination of a United States Senator i3 left to the legislative caucus, there are many dark and secret plottiugs and the rank and file are practically forgotten. The matter of having the convention nominate a candidate for senator will be up to the resolution committee which will meet and report on the night of April 27. Or if there is no one on the resolutions committee who will report on such a resolution it will be possible to present it on the floor of the convention and thrash the matter out. This Is Lese Majesty. The statement of R. C. Minton, attorney for the anti-saloon league, which in a guarded way, expresses dissatisfaction with the brief filed by the law firm of Hanly, Artman and McAdams, in the county option case, has attracted considerable attention. Mr. Minton says that the brief of the state was filed by the law firm of which Governor Hanly is a member before he ever had an opportunity to read it. And he says also, that he may file a supplemental brief to give his views on the case. The case is that of George McPherson of Noblesville. and is a petition for a re-hearing of the case. The decision in the original hearing was given some time ago by the supreme court and the option law was held constitutional, only Judges Jordan and Montgomery dissenting. Mr. Minton, of the anti-saloon league, takes issue with former Governor Hanly on the way in which the opinion of the dissenting judges of the supreme court has been handled. The brief spoke of the argument of the dissenting judges as being fallacious and futile. Mr. Minton says the way to win the supreme court, or any other court, is by argument, and not by criticism. E. S. Shumaker, superintendent of the anti-saloon league and former Governor Hanly have always been very close in their relations and have worked together in the fight against the saloons. There is much speculation as to just what the present attitude of Mr. Minton will lead -to. If Mr. Minton should file an additional brief some question Will arise as to just who is leading the fight for the constitutionality of the local option law. It is interesting to note that A. G. Cavins, a deputy in the attorney general's office says that he never saw the brief which has just been filed by former Governor Hanly's law firm, although

he read the brief of the state in the by the reports that Governor Harmon original case. j of Ohio, was making great headway The friends of announced candidates : with nis bxm.

for the speakership of the next house! of representatives, in case the republi

cans are in the majority, are considerably stirred up over the announcement that the republicans of Morgan county, may send E. F. Branch to the legislature as their representative in the next session. It is believed by many republicans that if Mr. Branch is sent to the legislature, he will again be a candidate for the speakership. He was speaker of the house iu the special session of and in the regular ses sion of i;'7. and was a candidate for the nomination for lieutenant governor in the last campaign. Mr. Brandt, as a candidate for the speakership, would have considerable strength on account of his wide acquaintance, lie served in the legislature for two or three terms before he was the speaker, and he has also a wide acquaintance among the national guard men of the state, as he ranks as an officer in that organization. His official rank is major. The other candidates for the speakership in case the house is republican, are Gus Grieger of Hanna and Miles J. Furnas of Winchester. Marshall on the Job. The first indication that Governor Marshall has his ear to the ground, and may be listening for presidential boomings. is the fact that he has accepted invitations to address a number of public gatherings some of which are outside the state. He has accepted the invitation to address the alumni of the University of Alabama and this is said to be the strongest democratic political organization in the state and
