The states are encouraging and accepting greater federal jurisdiction. Consciously or unconsciously the assertion of states' rights is growing weaker and the exercise of national control is getting stronger. This tendency Is Invetlable. It Is recognized by the best statesmen and by the Lighest courts. It is a natural accompaniment of the nationalizing of business, particularly the business of transportation. No state can be sufficient unto Itself, no matter what its resourses and developments may be; ; no matter how strong a government of Its own It may have. This merging of the states into the national character, the national purpose, and the national scheme of government has gone so far and has been so consistent, and, in the main, se essential and beneficial, that issues that once might have been developed Into troublesome problems of states' rights are now dismissed as idle quibbles. . The states are seeking and obtaining national help in many ways that once would not have been con sidered. The development of the country, and especially the reach of t interstate activities, have made the several states more dependent on federal assistance. But this change in the relation of the two governments does not restrict the scope of the state, for opportunities enlarge with the very development that requires this national cooperation. There is as fine an opportunity for state legislatures and for governors as there ever has been in the past. The Uniform. .From the New York Tribune. The proposal of Representative Hobson that a law shall be enacted forbidding under penalty any discrimination in public places against the uniforms of the military services of the United States will command much public sympathy. Such discrimination has not frequently been practiced in various places, generally under circumstances discreditable to those guilty of it causing resentment on . the part not only of the men who were thus affronted, but also of their superior officers and of most right thinking citizens. If ill results have ever come from the admission of uniform-wearing men to public places it has been the fault of others. There is nothing Intrinsically offensive in the apearance of the uniform. It does not unduly attract attention. It does not encourage its wearer to disorderly conduct,- but, rather, restrains him. Of . course an officer's uniform would be welcomed in the very places from which the uniforms of unlisted men are barred, and the enlisted men would be welcomed In civilian garb. The wearing of the uniform indicates that the man is ready to give up his life for the sake of the country; but because of that Indication of his devotion he is to be treated as an outcast. A man in civilian attire. Is often tolerated, even is he is thoroughly offensive, so long as he is not actually violent; while . the clean, sober, well behaved man in the uniform of the army or navy of the United States is rejected. Slanderous Tongues. From the Baltimore Sun. It has been well and trully said that "the pen Is mightier than the sword." and the saying applies even more forcibly to the human tongue, which was very much in evidence and had wrought a world of good and evil of blessing and cursing many cycles ere pen and ink were known. It Is the tongue of the eloquent orator and enthusiast that has, in all ages, incited men to deeds of wondrous daring and heroism; and It is the tongue, too, of fiery marplots and demagogues that has led to the most disastrous upheavals In the; world's his. tory. But we need not betake ourselves to the chronicles of old to form an idea of its power for weal or woe, or to find traces of the ruin It has caused. We have all the evidence we want at our very doors. Who among us, with even a very limited experience, can be ignorant of the havoc wrought by the vile tongue of the slanderer of the fair reputations it has blighted, the promising

THE FUTURE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. It must be apparent to the most casual observer that the Republican party has reached a crisis in Ms development. It will do no good not to face the issue. It can not be evaded. The question is: "Shall the party go forward or shall it go to pieces?" Is there room in the party for new ideas and progress, or must these find another outlet? The struggle just closed in the House of Representatives is not over. It is not a party issue, but it may disrupt the party.

We do not read history enough. A few years ago saw the Whig partyrelapse from dominance into a name. In the forties it was a great party; in the sixties it was gone. The Whig party had stopped growing; It had no room in it for new ideas. When the organization told the people that either they must leave the party or submit, the people left the organization and the party was no more.

It remains to be seen whether the Republican party has a new story to tell or whether it is wise enough and strong enough and wide enough and great enough to continue growing. There is only one way in which it can grow. It cannot grow by standing pat. It can not grow without progress. The present trouble wjth the party is because its natural growth was arrested by artificial barriers. Had the party continued along the lines of Theodore Roosevelt, developing those ideas without hindrance, this crisis would not have come. As when a great river becomes choked and stopped either by man's design or by the natural deposit of mud and trash; the river, forced onward by the fundamental laws of nature, must cut a new channel or sweep that impediment away, so are the people and the organization.

Long ago the Republican party would have gone down in overwhelming defeat if it had stopped in its broadening process. Long ago the democratic party would have been successful had it expressed the feelings of the people. Today the party lines are not sharply drawn. There are "progressive" Democrats and "old line" Democrats, even as there are "regulars" and insurgents' in the Republican party. Unless one party or the other finds room for the full expression of the progressive movement, the people will cut a new channel for themselves a new party. The crisis is come and we must face it. If the Republican party in Indiana does not face the issue fairly and squarely it must pay the penalty of its insincerety and its lack of wisdom. If the Republican party in Indiana is not strong enough, not wise enough to stop talking compromise between stand-patism and progress, no force can save it. There can be no more compromise between standpatism and progress than there can between going forward and retreating. The party cannot stand still. And what we mean is this: That Beveridge must either be fully endorsed or the Republican party will be defeated. To fully endorse the Payne tariff bill and at the same time to endorse Beveridge cannot be done. Either Beveridge was right when he voted against the bill or he was wrong. To endorse the bill is to put Beveridge in a stultifying position, and the stamp of insincerety on the party. With Beveridge untrammeled the Republican party will sweep the state and nothing can stop it.

Word your resolutions as sweetly and adroitly as you will; avoid the issue and the Republican party is no more in Indiana. It will be a name and the people will have gone elsewhere. The mind of the people, the Republicans hereabouts, is that they will stay in the party until they are forced out of it. They believe the Republican party is vigorous and sincere and that its vigor and sincerity must be expressed in the platform and that Beveridge should be unflinchingly endorsed. If men like Watson and Hemenway, fresh from their endeavors to save Cannon and the system which has choked the river of progress, shall come to Indiana and by mere manipulation of petty politics in the organization, invite Republican disaster, the Republicans who listen to them, who aid them and abet them, will see Republican defeat. f But if the state convention shall face the issue and aid the people to win such another victory in November as they have just won a victory in the House of Representatives, the Republican party in Indiana will be irresistible in its onward sweep. Nothing can stop it and the Republican party will have answered the question as to its future.

Judge H. B. Tuthill of La Porte After Appellate Court Nomination. HAS EXCELLENT RECORD (Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Ind.. March 21. H. B. Tuthill, who for fourteen years has been judge of the superior court of Laporte county, has formally announced that he will be a candidate .on the republican ticket for tjudge of the appellate court from the northern district of Indiana.

TAKE YOUR CHOICE Cut Out the Auto Trips or Run the Awful Chances of Becoming Bald.

PHYSICIAN GIVES ADVICE Boston, March 21. It is apparent from what Dr. C. J. White, dermatologist at the Massachusetts General Hospital says, that women must either cut down the number of auto trips or run the awful chances of becoming bald. Dr. White says motoring is bad for the hair. "Usually women neglect to properly cover their heads, with the result that they are compelled to take too many shampoos," Dr. White said. Washing the hair and scalp once a month is often enough for a skin which is normal. A shampoo every other day or so, or even once a week, will produce baldness, and after a person reaches twenty-five or thirty years of age, it is impossible to cure abnormal falling out of hair." If women want to go motoring they must completely cover the hair, but that keeps out the air and produces baldness. If they permit the dust to get on the scalp and then submit to the wicked shampoo they will also lose their hair. The only safe way is to reduce the number of auto trips. Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight, 1908, by Edwin A: Nye A SILLY VvOMAN. A Chicago wife is trying to get a divorce on these grounds: Her husband, she says in her complaint, "does not measure up to the standard of heroism so evident in the leading male figures of novels in size, grace or daring." Ehieu! If this woman should succeed on these allegations, where would the rest of married mankind appear? Very few, average husbands are able to measure up to the heroes in the pages of Meredith. Nicholson and McCutcheon either as to "size, grace or daring." Of course the Chicago wife has merely read herself into vapid imbecility, but she is nevertheless a pronounced type of other women who compare their everyday husbands with the armored knights who. with caparisoned horses and nodding plumes, amble through the pages of Booth Tarkington and Walter Scott. Pitiful? It is pitiful not only from the side of the honest, striving husband, but pitiful because the woman who pines for a hero in jingling harness is not able to recognize the real husband hero at her side. There is a heroism in doing one's plain duty that is worth more than a library of book gallantry. Looking for heroes? Many an undersized, rouud shouldered, hardworking husband Is living lu daily martyrdom for the sake of bis family. And tbe pathetic part of it is nobody, least of all his family, is able to see the sacrifice. And scarcely does the victim himself realize. He does not complain and would laugh at being called a hero. Heroism ? How is the rescue of a fair maiden from some high castle tower to be compared with the daily grind of a devoted man toiling like tbe slave of a galley to give bis wife position or comforts or working himself into his grave to give his children --ich an education as was denied bin 4r hen a boy? 1 ; ! Romance? It is the romance of reality! Stupid and blind, tbe woman who sighs for "grace and daring" in her husband and who cannot see in his daily self abnegation and heroic striving the beauty and the grace of true chivalry.

One of his friends, who bear pf this, so worried Mr. Salting cor; cerning the matter that at last he asl ed eight men to dine with him an to drink the wine, giving them a louf invitation. All eight accepted, but be fore the date of the feast each received a letter saying that Mr. Salting had received a very favorable offer to sell the wine, that he had accepted the bid and that the dinner, therefore, would not take place.

He Hurls Bricks at Insurgents In Wee Sma' Hours of Sunday Morning, at a Banquet, Speaker Cannon Hurls Defiance at Enemies.

Washington. March 21. While other participants in the great House battle were sweetly communing with Morpheus early Sunday morning. Speaker Cannon, virile and defiant, undertook to pay his respects to the insurgency and succeeded so well that the disturbance resulting fairly shook the recalcitrant stronghold from center to circumference. The occasion, which the speaker seized as opportune for his wholesale "hurling of bricks," was the annual dinner of the Illinois Association. Calls It the "Hybrid House." It was in the early hours of the morning when the speaker began his ; "hybrid House." With eyes glowing defiance and voice thundering at his enemies with all the day's pent up bitterness, Mr. Cannon was in fighting trim. In his opening remarks the' powershorn, but defiant speaker declared that the Republicans no longer have a majority in the House or Senate. "My God," he cried with great solemnity, "suppose this ISO pounds of common clay should drop dead tonight, what would the newspapers and magazines which make a profession of lying and slandering, do then? . My daughters, my grandchildren, my son-in-law would be sorry. But the balance of the world would not have time to be sorry. . "There never was a truer word said than 'Let the dead past bury its dead. If that were not true, then the world would be one vast house of mourning. , Sarcasm, Hot and Stinging. "I know people -who think they monopolize the wires from the earth up to the great white throne. They don't give the majority of us a chance. They have curealls, they think God and one constitute a majority, forgetting that God alone is a majority and can well do without their help. "We're thankful for Christian morality.

Cannon, Watson, Barnard, Ei A I What the District Papers Say.

Connersville News (Rep.) If there are any local dissensions in Republican ranks (we confess we know of none) over the tariff and kindred matters it would be wisdom for each sincere republican to ask himself how much be has been influenced one way or the other by what he has read in the Indianapolis papers in the way of so-called news emanating as a rule from Washington. One should seek to have his opinions grounded on truth whether that truth agreed or not with his preconceived opinions. Just now it Is the policy to attack Joe Cannon. But whatever the speaker has done or not done, there is no gain in believing known untruths uttered about him. Here is a case in point. The Indianapolis News yesterday contained the dispatch from Springfield. In., giving Speaker Cannon's letter to the editors. It was introduced in these words: "Speaker Cannon, in a letter read at a meeting of Republican editors at a meeting of Republican editors here today, renewed his attack on the "insurgents," and declared that all the pledges of the platform will be kept by the Republican party if it has the continued support of the people." The whole article fills less than a column and was doubtless widely read. The reader who thought as he read must have been surprised at the context for in it all there is not a sentence, word or syllable that even indirectly refers to the "insurgents." It is true it is a plea from tbe conservative side of the question, urging Republican papers to stand by their president and the party's policies. As an utterance from Uncle Joe it is rather remarkable , for mildness of tone. Mr. Cannon did say this: "The republican party has not discarded any of its principles nor has It sought new issues simply for the

It consisted of the Democrats and a 15 per cent 6lough from the Republican party. They destroyed the committee on rules. Then what did they do? A resolution was presented declaring the office of speaker vacant. Insurgents Lacked Courage. "Then what did these men who have been denouncing my personality, these simon pure followers of Senator La Follette. do then? Only eight of them had the courage of their convictions. The result was that while I was elected speaker by a majority of twenty-six last March, they refused to turn me out by a majority of thirtysix. "That was the way this Republican slough started out in its new alliance. And ttfe Sunday papers will be out in a few hours with stories about the end of Cannonism and czarism, and perhaps a few of them will say what I said about the House being simply a government by majority. "This combination abolished the committee on rules, which has, after all. the power simply to report to the House, although' some seem to think it Is like the biblical example of 'let there be light, and there was light. ' "You in Washington know different, but the people in the country apparently believe tbe uplift magazines and the cowardly members of congress who wrought such havoc. Will Defend All Charges. "I am thankful I belong to the party of Lincoln and Grant, and Garfield. and Roosevelt, and Taft, and whenever any charge is. made upon it. whether from pulpit or magazine or Chautauqua circuit, I will defend it I would rather keep the Republican faith and fall than to march with men who would disrupt tbe Republican party and succeed. "The country believes we have a majority of forty-four in the House, whereas we have none, nor have we majority in the senate. But this news is not given to the country by certain publicists. They suppress it and distort it. and talk only about Cannonism and tbe defeat and rebuke of the czar. "Some of us pray for tbe millenium. but I do not want it to come at any .time unless the Almighty reaches down His finger and changes the human an imal." purpose ot catching the crowd ever ready for novelties." The "insurgent" or other critic of Mr. Cannon must be indeed far gone not to see that these words exactly fit the case of Democratic leaders. Yet that is the only sentence over which a quibble as to his meaning might possibly be raised. On the same date the Richmond Item echoing the News, says, in a headline: "Speaker Cannon renews his attacks on Insurgents, saying pledges will be kept." The Item's statement below tbe heading is brief and proves the beading a sad misfit, as there is not a word there about "Insurgents." though it is true that the Speaker did say that the Republican party would keep its pledges. This is but one of many glaring instances going to show that any Republican reader of the News will be Justified in withholding judgment on any political statement from Washington to the Indianapolis papers without corroboration is forthcoming. And in many cases corroboration will be as hard to find as the legendary needle in a hay stack. New Castle Times (Dem.) Congressman Barnard in voting to

uphold Speaker Cannon tn his rulings, may have been followlg the dictates of

his conscience, bat he most, certainly was not playing good politics. The Republican party of Indiana presents an unusual condition. About fourfifths of the rank and file are insurgents, while .four-fifths of the politicians are standpatters, favorable to Cannon. Watson. Hemenway Durbin. Fairbanks and a host of others who in recent years have been the acknowledged leaders. These leaders have shown no interest in this year's campaign, other than to turn the Republican craft in Indiana over to Senator Beveridge. with instructions to sail it however and wherever he pleases. If he sinks with it there will be none but crocodile tears over the result. In view of his attitude on the part of the heavy artillery ot the party in Indiana, it seems to us that the .political play for Judge Barnard would be to join hands with the active element of the arty. Rustiville Republican, Lon Mull is so shy that he mill not announce himself as a candidate. Then if he is defeated it will be perfectly ea-sy to blame it all on the newspapers anyway. - Connersville Examiner (Dem.) The Democrats of the Sixth district have practically agreed on the nomina tion of Lon Mull, of Rush county, as their congressional candidate, and Mr. Mull will no doubt be the nominee of the Richmond convention. There can be no doubt as to Mr. Mull's popularity in his own county, and he is the sort of a fellow who will make many friends during bis canvas. He is a good, clean man. and if he goes tS congress from the Sixth district he may be relied on to look after the Interests of his constituents and will not be handicapped by such political affairs and party ..scrapes as has kept Mr. Barnard voting for Cannonism and high tariffs, etc. Early Aviation.
