From the Newark News. The highbrows who know every curve of the microscope and can swing nineteen jointed words as easily as Ty Cobb can break a bush league pitcher's heart, tell us that only a few microbes are malicious enemies of humanity; that the vast majority are invaluable workers and willing slaves. Right for the highbrows and though science has not yet done Its full part In putting It where It belongs, let the place of honor among the good microbes go to the baseball bug. Of all the benevolent bacilli this germ does most to add to the total of human weal. There are germs that give butter its flavor; that turn skim milk into Neuf chatel. that make the biscuits rise and put froth on beer. There are microbes that convert air Into fertilizer and others that put the strangle hold on any disease germs that get too intl mately on the Inside of us. But the base ball bug does at one operation what all or any of these can only do In part It makes human kind happier Where is the emotion comparable to the delirium of satisfied ecstacy.when the home team noses out tn the fourteenth? And if there are somber days, when the umpire has stolen the game from the local men. they are needed to give true value to high lights. And the ability to feel pain is the price we nast pay for being able to feel Joy.

OUR POSITION.

Mr. Foulke pays the Palladium a high compliment when he asserts that this paper Is responsible for the activities of the Young Men's BubInesa Club and the Richmond Fall Festival A a matter of Justice to the hundreds of citlxens of Wayne county who have worked hard for the betterment of the community through these two agencies we disclaim anything more than that we have tried to do our share In the work, so that we might with, more propriety urge others to help In the regeneration of the community. For Over two years the old knocking the Indolent 4he pessimistic idea has been losing ground so fast that today Richmond and Wayne county are looking forward to the centennial year of the county of Wayne with renewed hope and enthusiasm. That this is so Is due simply to the unselfish interest of many men in all walks of life, of all ages and In all the county. With them ft has been our pleasure and honor to work for the common good no more. That today this onward movement has been attacked and will doubtless continue to be attacked by W. D. Foulke and whatever influence financial and otherwise he may or may not possess, because of our efforts to help a worthy public cause we esteem an injustice. We can stand any amount of attacks from a Jealous contemporary. They pay us a higher compliment than the motive which prompts them. We can smile and keep silent or fight our battles as we think necessary. The Palladium has been attacked for the youth of those who are in positions of trust. And though it might appear somewhat unjust to be be attacked on the only thing which is beyond our control, the humor of the situation-does not altogether escape us that we should in one breath be denominated as of no force whatsoever and in the next denounced as the veriest villains, and a menace to mankind. But that because of the petty jealousies of Mr. Foulke the welfare of the community should be jeopardized; that the men should be attacked who have labored to make the Young Men's Business Club and the Fall Festival success! ul and beneficial institutions; that in common honesty, we cannot allow to go by unprotested. We owe a dual obligation to this community by the very fact that we publish this newspaper: First to the people; second to our advertisers. Inasmuch aa we have the good will of the people we have done our duty to the advertisers. It is our belief that in supporting and working, personally and publicly, for the Fall Festival, in endeavoring to turn it into an agent of the highest public good, we have done our duty toward both the public and the advertiser. Mr. Foulke has seen fit to jittack the Y. M. B. C. and the Fall Festival. That is a matter to be decided between himself and his public as to whether he will run his paper as an engine for his personal jealousies or the benefit of the community. We purpose to -support the Fall Festival and the Y. M. B. C. as long as they tend toward the public good with all the strength that is in us. If Mr. Foulke desires to continue to attack them that is his affair, but we believe the proceeding will be understood by the community.

THE MAY MUSIC

It is all the more to Richmond's credit that t he May Festival Orchestra is a part of the town and not Imported with a blare of trumpets. Indeed one of the great things which the movement has accomplished Is in the stirring up of musical enthusiasm and the drilling of musicians right

This paper has already called attention to the work of the men in the orchestra as being such that it has attracted people of competent musical appreciation to come long distances to hear them. And what is true of the

The propsal to employ the referen dum as a solution of the present constitutional crisis is attracting more and more attention and we believe that if we can only get over the ordinary man's suspicion of a novelty we shall be able to Induce the controllers of the liberal machine in whom the real resistance lies, to allow the people the right to say whether they will or will not adopt the vast constitutional revolution that is now proposed. All we ask is that the people shall decide. In Boston t Time works wonders. Over the John-Hancock building the flag is at half mast for the death of the king of England. Explanations. It never does take a man long to explain when he is right or thinks he is right. It is when a man goes wrong that great long explanations are needed. Tobacco Ir Russia.

LETTER TO W. D. FOULKE

Hon. W. D. Foulke, Editor Item:' My dear Mr. Foulke: Just a the Executive Committee of the Fall Roosevelt here as a guest of the City the facts In the 'case: : The Committee learned that Mr. trip In the Fall through this part of

would attend the Industrial Exposition in Cincinnati and also a similar affair in St. Paul. Knowing this, the Committee took it upon Itself to

extend to him an invitation to visit anniversary of the founding of Wayne

reply came back that he could not answer until he returned home. The Committee, then thinking that the publication of the possibility of Mr. Roosevelt visiting Richmond might be interpreted as an advertising scheme, requested of all the local papers that the matter be withheld from publication until such a time as seemed expedient to the Committee. Then, as Chairman of the Committee, I asked you to co-operate with the Committee in securing his acceptance. You then replied: "I have not been consulted in the matter; why did you not ask me about it?" I then told you that, as you were not a member of the Executive Committee, I could see no reason why you 6hould have been consulted before the invitation was sent. I was very much surprised to receive the reply I did from you, as I fully expected you to say that you would co-operate with and assist our Committee. In this same conversation you told me that you did not like the way the Fall Festival Committee was formed; that the Palladium and Morning News both had a representative on the Committee and you did not; also that you did not like the way you had been treated. I then informed you that the Festival Committee had been formed without reference to representation of any newspaper, but if you thought you had not been treated fairly, I would do what I could to have the matter righted. I also told you that the Palladium member of the Committee had handed in his. resignation and that if you wished, I would ask the Committee to appoint some one from the Item in the place of the member of the Palladium staff. This request was made to the Executive Committee the same evening and a member of the Item staff was named on the Executive Committee in order that you might know the Committee was trying to do what was right. Now, Mr. Foulke, the Executive Committee is made up of sixteen or eighteen business and professional men of the highest standing, ranging in age from twenty-five to sixty-five years, all working enthusiastically

for the welfare of the community, and, night after night, denying themselves the company of their families for the sake of promoting the in

terest of the City and the surrounding country. Don't you think that, in

the face of all these facts, you are not showing the Tight spirit? Are you not interested in Richmond and the spirit of co-operation which is growing day by day? Are you not willing to get into the game and help

boost instead of standing outside

tee In charge does not consult you before it acts, or because you do not have the representation on the Committee you think you should have?

The men on the Committee have been . and, above all, because they are loyal real boosters.

The Fall Festival and the Wayne County Centennial will be held and

we will double our efforts to secure ple at that time. If you, Mr. Foulke, out of Richmond, we will then leave

the real boosters. Very respectfully, E. H. HARRIS.
