Kitchener of Khartum. From the. New York World. The brief and almost surreptitious visit to New York by one of the greatcut soldiers of modern times has served by. reason of Us very contrast to leave an impression which no civic honors or public parades could have deepened. In this quiet -man in a tweed suit who would not 'even sanction a salute by a battalion of West Point cadets, the city has been privileged to see the most conspicuous example of military modesty since Grant and the fact is one on which it is agreeable to dwell. There has been no hint in anything be has said that this was the hero of Khartum; not a , word about my regiment, my plan of campaign, my policy in India; no al- ' lusion to any event in the remarkable . career of the plain soldier, whose em inent services raised him to the peerage and won for him the rank of field marshal. He has said not a word that could cause concern at any foreign office. The example of unostentation and of an incognito strictly preserved Is one useful for comparison. New York will regret the departure of its distinguished guest, but with due appreciation of the fact that it has been long enough to point a moral of mod- . est merit.

t ,The Chinese Riots. From the Philadelphia Ledger. '. The Immediate occasion of the rioting at Changsha, in the province of ' Hunan, appears to be the failure of the i rice crop. With all their centuries of agrarian experience, the Chinese have . not yet learned to distribute the sur- ' plus product of one district to relieve the distress of another. It may be that In one province the cattle are driven into the fields to feed and the crops are used as fuel, while in an adjoining province the people are starving. The market fori the rice crop is strictly a local one. While it is permissible to import grain from abroad In any quantity desired, grain of any hind may not be transported from one . district to another without the express permission of the government.

RED BLOOD, GREED AND SLOTH. ' "It Is wall If a large proportion of tha leader in any re- , public. In any democracy, are, aa a matter of course, drawn from the classes represented in this audience today; but only provided that those classes possess the gifts of sympathy with plain people and of devotion to great Ideals. You and those like you have received special advantages; you have all of you had the opportunity for mental training; many of you have had leisure; most of you have had a chance for the enjoyment of life far greater than comes to the majority of your fellows. To you and your kind much has been given and from you' much should be expected. 'It is not the critic who count; not the man who points out how the strong man sturr.bles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually In the arena, whose face Is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, If he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. "I pay all homage to intellect and to elaborate and specialized training of the intellect; and yet I know I shall have the assent of all' of you present when I add that more Important still are the common-place, every-day qualities and virtues. "Such ordinary, every-day qualities include the will and the power to work, to fight at need, and to have plenty of healthy children. There are a few people in every country so born that they can lead lives of leisure. These fill a useful function if they make it evident that leisure does not mean idleness." Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne, April 23, 1910.

SINCERITY

An unknown man, unheralded, inconspicuous, one of the legion who bear numbers instead of names in the army that pours into the factories when the sun is yet young and who emerge when that same sun is sinking in the West such a man wrote a letter to all of us the other day. The letter was concerning an editorial article which appeared in this paper a week or bo ago, and we feel we' do the man no Injustice If those parts are used which are in point on the same question in another way. . He said, this man of the workers army: "When I read "the enclosed editorial, I said, 'that man is sincere. It ia not the mere "exigency of political policy" that looks to the goal of justice; that editorial is not evidence of mental prostitution that stoops to put on a garment of virtue to fool credulity. There are thousands in the Democratic party that are sincere and thousands in the Republican party who are sincere. The writer of that editorial is sincere. He wants what I want, but there is one contention between us the means of getting it." The editorial in question concluded with these sentences: '"And now lest we all be put into a living prison, ensnared and emeshed by government unseen, but felt with bonds tighter than the shackles of the finest Bessemer come . now and as free men resolve that the vote that is cast from now on shall be for the man whom you know to be honest and to have fought your battles lest you too, be put in prison for the stealing of the. daily bread, lest there be one law for the rich and one for the poor. . ' "And if you do this your children you yourself will know the i riotous joy of the liberty which Is freer than the spring, and from out of the depths this nation will have told its story, a new one in the history of the nations." There is one thing on which we agree and is no contention between us all. That is that men must work for betterment of conditions and not . ...(.., content themselves with carping criticism. Each one of us, according to his light must determine what is right and then work for it, fight for it The man must work where .the work will do some good at the ward meetings at the elections ' If he does not, then rich or poor, the words of Theodore Roosevelt, the good fighter in the real arena, are to be applied to him: "But the average man must earn his own livelihood. He ; should be trained to do so, and he should be trained to feel that he , occupies a contemptible position if he does not do so; that he is not an object of envy if he is idle, at whichever end of the social scale he stands, but an object of contempt, an object of derision." Without this no uttered words are sincere unless they are put in actionlet the words of Roosevelt to the refined and intellectual audience at the Sorbonne sink in. If a man is sincere let him get into the fight where the fight is raging With this the worker in the shop will have no contention and by working and fighting alongside we have agreed that tha,t is "the means of getting it" which is the real sincerity.

Taggart Claims He Has a Safe Majority Says He Has 1,100 Delegates Who Can Be Depended Upon to Defeat Plan of Having the Convention Nominate the Senator.

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, April 25. Tom Taggart's followers and campaign managers declare that they have at least 1,100 delegates to the democratic state convention on whom they can depend to support Taggart and to knock the governor's plan to have the convention nominate a candidate for senator. They say they have at least a thousand in addition to what they may get In Marion county, and they are figuring that Marion county will be practically solid for Taggart and against the governor. The antl-Taggart people do not admit that this Is a correct statement of the situation, though many of them are afraid that Taggart has them heaten. -: .. .: A few days ago calculations were made here which showed that the governor'8 plan would probably be adopted by the convention by a very close vote, the majority being placed at nine out of a total of 1,747 delegates. But Bin'ce then several changes have been 'made In the, line up, and it appears now from a careful study of the

figures that Taggart will win. The

It is now charged by the anti-Taggart people that the large field of candidates is due to the activity of the Taggart people in endeavoring to break up the opposition to Taggart. They declare that the more candidates there are in the field, the better it Is for Taggart. It is pointed out that Taggart will be

This is regarded as a safer guess than the one made by the Taggart followers which places the Taggart vote at 1,100 as stated above. John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, the leading anti-Taggart candidate for United States senator, says that the Taggart figures are wrong and that Taggart is figuring on delegates in several places where he will not get

them. Lamb says he knows of

how many candidates there may be

against him. but that the opposition will be all shot to pieces and the vote scattered. No one seems to know who is to lead the fight on the floor of the convention either for or against the governor's plan. It is regarded as very Important that the leaders be men who can do things. They must be men of influence among the delegates. There ia some talk that John E. Lamb may

democrats are hoping to he chosen as members of this committee In order

The selfsame thing Is true of the state, th county and the city of Connersville. In the former and the latter, however, it has been seen what can happen when the party Is not united.

Just how many of these Lamb knows of he does not say, but it would not. take very many to overcome the present apparent slender lead which Taggart has in the figures. In any event the fight over the question of whether the convention shall select a candidate for Senator promises to be a "dinger." The closeness of the vote as shown by the advance tigures and the amount of real bitter feeling that has been generated by the injection of the question into the campaign at this time, justify the predic-

the governor's plan, but whether this

will be the arrangement is not known de initely. Lamb is a fine rough and tumble fighter and fully able to take care of himself and whatever he represents in a fight But he is the leading candidate against Taggart and some of the politicians think it would not be wise for him to take the lead in the fight because it would look entirely too personal. But if Lamb does not lead no one seems to know who will. Neither is it known who will lead the fight for the other side, but the

New Yorkers Have Civic Pride

MRS. F. W. STEPHENS.

A successful effort was made to arouse a civic pride among New Yorkers in the crowded East districts. It was, noted that even among these ignorant classes the fund of enthusiasm of the children was constantly showing itself and always with great strength and that this enthusiasm was unfailing when drawn upon for the city's interests. Organizations were formed with a stated object "to keep the streets in a clean and healthful condition." ; The members were encouraged to report on official blanks furnished them for the purpose, any work that they might have accomplished in the way at removing litter from the streets, inducing others not to throw out refuse, or noting certain blocks or houses where the people were careless in their habits or had a disregard for the sanitary laws. The movement was very popular with the children from the start. "Please may we have a club?'-' became a constant, almost daily, . demand from committees of urchins all over the city. Organizations Were formed with volunteer directors and through this effort similar work began In other cities. Emphasis is laid solely upon . the

child's individual responsibility to his own city and his own best self for the way in which he regards the streets and the example which he sets to others. The whole principle is embraced In the civic pledge which each club and department member learns and repeats.. . Civic Pledge. "We who are soon to be citizens of New York, the largest city on the American continent, desire to have her possess a name which is above all reproach. And we therefore agree to keep from littering her streets and as far as possible to prevent others from doing the same, in order that our city may be as clean as she is great and as pure as she is free." ' In following this pledge the child comes to feel that he Is rendering to the city some recognized service. Many of the reports show a, surprising amount of earnest work and are refutations of all criticisms as well as object lessons as to what can be done for children in teaching them clean habits and stirring up in them a spirit of civic pride. Specimen reports will appear In tomorrow's Issue.

able to pull through. Again, should Cannon, Payne, Dalzell and one or two other prominent congressmen conclude to follow the example of Aldrlch and retire from further service on account of their health, and for the good of the party, it would greatly strengthen Mr. Barnard's chance of election."

(New Castle Courier) The proceedings of the convention embracing both the platform and the nomination were a disagreeable surprise to opposition onlookers, who had gathered in anticipation of a row and rumpus long drawn out. It was clearly demonstrated, first, that the Republicans of the Sixth District are not rent by Irrecconcilable differences of opln-

Strange. things than common are happening each day. The old way of things political are being discarded. New methods are being adopted. . Old Ideas arc being abandoned, and new theories and policies advocated. The people are up in the air politically, so-to-speak. They are not unltel as usual.

It is a time when old Ideas and old leaders suffer, and many erroneous substitutes and designing men are brought forward, but out of It all the conservative and thoughtful cltlxens hope for the elimination of many existing evils, and the development of great general good.

Comment Of the District Papers

(Jacksonian, Rushville (Dem.) With Lon Mull as the candidate for congress on the democratic ticket in the Sixth district there will be little doubt about the result in November. We believe that the people . desire something yes, much more ,than Mr. Barnard has given them during his term in congress and in order to get it they will be glad of the opportunity to cast their votes for Mr. Mull. We all remember what Mr. Barnard has done and what he has not done, how careless or Indifferent he has been in guarding the Interests of his constituents and how he stood for Cannonism and all it means to the country in unfair legislative methods. All these things and many more might be given as & reason for not supporting Mr. Barnard. Personally he is a nice gentleman, but the things he stands for in government cannot be indorsed by any one who desires to see the rights of a suffering people restored to them through our legislative branch of government

(Shelbyville News.) "Hon. W. O. Barnard was renominated for congress in the Sixth district at Connersville on Thursday after a hard struggle. There was sufficient opposition in the district to Mr. Barnard to have defeated him could it have been crystalized and united upon

any one candidate. But it was easy to ascertain at the late republican state convention that this was going to be a hard matter to do, as almost every county had a favorite candidate and Mr. Barnard stood as their second choice. "But now it is all over. It is up to the people of the Sixth district to say whether or not they will indorse Judge Barnard's course in congress. As a campaigner he is weak. As a politician he is a flat failure. As a mixer among the people he is as cold as an iceberg. Yet with all these shortcomings, it largely depends upon whom, the democrats In this district nominate for congress at their May convention as to whether Mr. Barnard will be
