CANNON'S MOTOR CAR. It was a sad occasion the other day when the House of Representatives took Speaker Cannon's automobile allowance away from him. It was akin to lese-majeste. The spectacle of the friend of the plain people clad in homespun, simple in his habits, patterning in homely ways after the Great Emancipator, being forced to pay for hi3 own automobile like any other free born American is not pleasant to behold. Surely the end of the world has come when the representatives of the nation can so ruthlessly overturn the laws of the universe as to deprive Joseph Cannon, the patriarch of republican simplicity, the paladin of progress, the palladium of our liberties, of gasoline! We are reminded that in days of old when consuls held sway In the not yet, but near, imperial Rome, that lictors stood by with the rod and axe. Where were the lictors when this disgraceful act was done shame of shames? With the rod of committee appointments they should be visited. With the axe of party regularity should they be chopped off.

It is to be set down to Mr. Barnard's record that he voted to take away the Speaker's automobile.

DUST.

Attention .does not really need to upon us all. Nor does the average the germ' of the White Death. The merchant knows what dust does to dust, except how to get rid of It.

Richmond is dusty. It will be still dustier this summer. The present arrangement is to allow each man to do his own sprinkling. Like every thing else that is left to everybody to do, it waits till the spirit moves the man with the hose. The most satisfactory arrangement is one which has been found practical in American cities the contract plan of sprinkling. This is economical. This should not be confused with the contract sprinkling of the main traveled streets at present. It has been found that the contract method of sprinkling, while 'actually costing less than the individual and sporadic waste of water, is the best because it insures the watering of those places which often go a whole season without attention.

Eventually the town will probably embrace some method of sprinkling with oil-as is done with notable success in Kansas City on its macadam boulevards. In the course of the next year or so, if not sooner, it is to be hoped that our otherwise perfect streets will be relieved of the dust nuisance.

And right here it may as well be said that some of the cost for the contract sprinkling might very well be borne by part of the vehicle tax law if there is one passed. The heavy hauling and the automobiles do much of the damage. We hope sometime that the street car company be approached by the city with the proposition of watering its right of way. The constant' rush of the cars is a dust producer and there is no reason why tbe obligation of keeping the right of way in condition should not be recognized here as in other places.

being good is that it takes so much time to keep his thrills going. The first robin may thrill the heart, but it is just as well that the longsleeved union suit is less emotional. Civilization is nothing more than politeness, industry and fairness. Savages are always thieves, always loafers, and always impolite and unfair. Fits It. (Chicago Post.) "I want a title for a book of letters I am getting out," says the publisher. "It is the secret correspondence of members of various Scottish clans. I need a title that will be short, but will suggest Immediately the nature of the contents of the book." ""Easy enough,' 'answers the man who has been taken to lunch. "Call it 'Clandestine Correspondence'." THE INDIANA PRESSSTAN D-P ATI SM. Senator Beverldge stands for certain high ideals, an exchange insists, and if the people of the state know anything of his mental and moral calibre he is going to fight out his campaign along the lines he has already made himself famous for. Those republicans who support Beveridge must support his principles. It is going to be Beveridge or Taggart; there will h no other renublican candidate for the senatorial election, and Taggart is! almost as certain to be the democratic candidate. So it may be well for republicans to remember that every republican elected to the state legislature this fall who is opposed to Beveridge principles must surely lend moral if not material Influence to the Taggart candidacy. There can be no middle ground. Let republicans remember that the best kind of standpatism is loyalty to principle and not tn men. and that is the kind of standLpatism that Senator Beveridge repre sents and fights for. Hartford City Times Gazette. A WALLOPING. Secretary Ballinger may be an entirely fit man for the place he holds in the Taft cabinet. But it should be understood in the general mind that he is no friend of conservation as that great and beneficent policy was formulated and launched by President Roosevelt. It has been pretty thoroughly established by two witnesses who are In no wise partisan to the anti-Ballinger side of the present Issue that the secretary did act with dislngenuousness in presenting his matters to the president and that he is hostile to conservation as proved by his conduct in reference to it. Neither former Secretary Garfield nor Chief Engineer Davis, of the reclamation service, can be charged with enmity to Ballinger. Yet the hardest walloping he has received has been delivered through the testimony of these two witnesses. Ft. Wayne Sentinel. SURELY NOT. Doubtless Tom Taggart is ready to second the motion that the democratic state convention should name the democratic candidate for the United States senate, but possibly Mr. Taggart would prefer that the choice be kept secret.

A FARMER SUICIDED Greencastle, Ind., March 17. Lee Collins, a farmer of Monroe Township, committed suicide last night by hanging himself from a rafter in his barn. A Lafayette man with whom he had made a deal trading his farm, had just telephoned him that the deal was off. Collins called up another man with whom he was dealing, called off the trade, then went to his barn. At 11 o'clock last night, members of his family searched for him, and his 17-year-old daughter, going to the barn, was confronted by his lifeless body hanging from a rafter. No reason, save discouragement over the failure of his land deals, is assigned for the rash act. He leaves a widow and three children. TEACHERS ELECTED Cambridge City, March 17. The City School Board at its regular meeting on Tuesday evening, elected tbe following teachers for the next school year: W. J. Bowden, Alice M. Reese, Elizabeth Whelan, Annette M. Edmunds, Jennie Hussey, Catherine Kniese, Eleanor Newman, Edith M. Bowman, Ethel A. Thomas. Prof. J. T. Reese was elected supervisor of music, and Mrs. Gertrude Miller supervisor of drawing.

The first men. armed with the simplest weapons or with none at all. pursued in the chase tbe animals that served them as food and. being generally in a state of starvation, tore them to pieces with their fingers and devoured on the spot the flesh, raw and bloody. In time they domesticated animals that assisted them in hunting and invented tbe bow and spear that enabled them to kill their prey at a greater distance. The knife was invented as an instrument of attack or defense or for rough cutting and carving and, being commonly worn on the person, was found convenient in eating and became In time an accessory of the table for reasons so obvious that they require no explanation. Rheumatism A Home Care Will Be Glvea FREE Br OS Who Had It. , In the Ipring of 1S93 I was attacked by Muscular and Inflammatory Rheumatism. I suffered as only those who have It know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, and doctor after doctor, but such relief as I received vra only temporary. Finally, I found a remedy that cured me completely, and it has never returned. I have given It to a number who were terribly afflicted and even bed ridden with Rheumatism, and it effected a cure in every case.

Watch Two Republicans of the State Have Now

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, March 17. Republicans are anxiously awaiting the republican congressional conventions in the thirteenth and tenth districts both of which are to be held before the state convention convenes. The convention of the tenth district which is to be held at Lafayette probably is the most important just now. This convention will be held at Lafayette March 28 and its importance comes from the fact that It is the district of Congressman Crumpacker. The importance of the tentli district convention is that the action taken there will probably be an hides of the action which will be taken at the state convention. If it is possible to agree on resolutions amicably at the tenth district convention it probably will be possible to do the same at the state convention. There are few republicans on the inside who do not believe that there will be an amicable settlement of the resolutions question at both conventions. Expect Tariff Fight. Congressman Crumpacker represents Indiana on the congressional committee and it is the congressional committee that is now sending out literature to work up interest in the tariff question. Therefore it might be expected that a fight for the tariff question which would be made at the tenth district convention would be as strong as a fight which would be made at the state convention. Congressman Crumpacker has been agreed on for the renoniination for congress in the tenth and the tenth district convention will practically be his. It might be said that there is no scrap between Senator Beveridge and Congressman Crumpacker. When it came to making appointments in the tenth district Congressman Crumpacker and Senator Beveridge conferred with each other and when it came time to appoint a United States pension examiner a tenth district man was appointed and he was a man satisfactory to Congressman Crumpacker. This is one of the appointments Senator Beveridge might have made without consulting with anyone. Republicans, who are in touch with the situation say there will be no trouble in reaching an agreement in regard to the tariff as all republicans are agreed on the fact that the principle of protection is a good thing although there are differences of opinion as to the details of the tariff schedules which it is believed should be in effect. The word which is going the .rounds is that those republicans who favor the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill Willi not attempt to enforce their views on the state convention because the majority of the people in the state are opposed to the schedules in that bill. It is probable that the state convention will indorse the protective tariff theory but there will be no attempt whatever to indorse any particular tariff enactment. As a matter of fact it is said that this question has been pretty thoroughly thrashed out by those leaders who have favored the Payne-Aldrich bill and that they believe that an indorsement of the protective tariff theory will be about the sentiment of the delegates to the state convention. That Marshall Statement. The statement of Governor Marshall in favor of having the 6tate convention nominate tbe candidate of the party for United States senator is regarded as a challenge rather than a suggestion and it is expected that before the state convention of the democrats rolls around every democrat of prominence in the state will seek to express his views publicly in regard to the matter. Many democrats are sorry that the question has ever been raised because it accentuates the

facts that the democrats are worried about getting a sufficiently strong candidate to run against Senator Beveridge. Yet because the platform of the democrats for years has declared in favor of election of United States senators by popular votes those who are displeased because the question has come up can hardly express their views for publication. The strongest argument which is now being offered against the plan is that some of the holdover senators would never consent to be bound by a state convention and that In some counties the delegates, to the state convention have already been selected and these probably would not consent to be bound. Those who are offering this argument are prominent in the party but they are not making their names public in connection with the argument because they regard the question as a kind of boomerang which they cannot afford to "monkey with." The suggestion has been made from some sources that the state convention adopt a resolution declaring that after the coming state convention, the candidates of the party for United States senator be nominated by state conventions. This would remove the objection offered now In regard to the hold over senators. Slack is Very Cautious. Former State Senator Slack of Franklin who Is expected to be a candidate for United States senator, if the legislature is democratic and whose name went before the last legislative caucus has come out with a carefully guarded statement which may be taken either as an indorsement or an opposition to the governor's plan. Mr. Slack sayt he believes it is a subject which is worthy of serious consideration among the democrats of the state and that personally he approves it because he can see that it has more advantages than disadvantages as a preparation for the campaign. From the standpoint of principle he says, he regards the plan as being in perfect harmony with democracy. One thing he says to be considered carefully Is to what extent the selection or suggestion of a candidate might be binding. He then refers to the question of the attitude of holdover senators. He says that it ought to be well understood and satisfactory that the candidate nominated should be the United States senator in case the legislature is democratic. Senator Slack says that he does not regard the plan as a plot to elect any particular candidate to the United States senate and that the fact that some candidate may favor the plan Is no evidence to him that there is a plot on hand. In making this statement, he evidently refers to the report that it is a plan to boost John E. Lamb of Terre Haute into the senatorship. Mr. Lamb has made a hearty indorsement of the plan. Was Barely Defeated. Senator Slack points to the fact that two years ago he was before the state convention as a candidate for governor and that he was barely defeated for the nomination. Many delegates, he says who did not vote for him at that time later expressed their willingness to help him out for future political preferment. Since that time he says he worked hard and devoted much time to the candidacy of Mr. Marshall for Governor. He says that he feels that many delegates In the state convention would favor him for election to the United States senate and that therefore personally he would favor the plan suggested. But he concludes by adding that his personal feelings should not be controlling in the matter and that before it is settled all Democrats of the state should be consulted. If reports from tbe eleventh congressional district may be taken as a

criterion, great harmony will prevail among the Republicans in the coming campaign. O. A. H. Shideler of Marion brought the report to Indianapolis headquarters that it is his belief that the eleventh district convention which will be held at Marion, April 14 will end with tbe greatest good feeling and that all of the defeated can

didates and their friends will go out and give their best efforts to the cam paign. He says also in this connec- ; tion that it is his honest belief that 1 the man nominated at the Republican ; congressional convention will be the : next congressman from the eleventh district. I This statement Is regarded as very I encouraging since In the past the elevt enth district has been one of the blood iest political battle grounds in the state. It is more encouraging also from the fact that there are now eight or ten candidates for the congressional nomination in that district. In fact every county of the district except one has one or more candidates for the nomination. Republican state chairman Lee and others around Republican headquarters are greatly pleased with the interest which is being shown even this early in the coming campaign. Chairman Lee and John Hayes, secretary of the committee are kept pretty busy all the time conferring with workers from out in the state and many of these are men who have been active in Republican campaigns for many years and who have had leading parts in the Republican state organization for the last ten years. The indications now are that with a few exceptions, all of the Republicans who have been active and useful in past campaigns will be found devoting their services to the coming campaign. The calls at headquarters are not merely friendly calls. The men who come as a rule have a mission to perform for the party or some suggestion to make for the perfection of the righting organization over the state. Palmistry, in Its modern acceptation, is divided into two branches, ehlrognomy and chiromancy. Chirognomy defines the outward shape of the hand, and of its members, the thumb and finger. The name is derived from the Greek and means the laws of the hands. Chiromancy is also derived from the Greek and signifies divination by the hand that is, by the lines, mounts and other marks on the palms of the hand. TEN YEARS' TEST OF ECZEMA CURE After a ten years' test, oil of wintergreen, as compounded in D. D. D. Prescription, has so v thoroughly, so absolutely proven its merit for skin diseases, that we have arranged with the D. D. D. Laboratories of Chicago for a special offer on a 25-cent trial bottle. We ' ourselves became convinced years ago. Cure after cure and the testimony of the world's leading skin specialists showed us that the way to cure the skin is through the skin; not, however, by means of a salve which always clogs the outer skin, but with a penetrating liquid that gets to the inner skin, killing the germs while soothing the healthy tissue. The Oil of Wintergreen Compound D. D. D. Prescription, penetrates while soothing the skin; and a 23cent bottle a good sized trial bottleis now offered, besides the $1.00 bottles, in order to convince everybody. For this trial bottle ought to be enough to show the way to the cure, and at any rate the liquid the instant it is applied will take away that itch yes, just as soon as th wash is applied, the skin is soothed and refreshed.
