STRENUOUS EFFORT TO GET ROOSEVELT FOR MORE SPEECHES Republicans Will Try to Have the Ex-President Make More Than One Address in Indiana. RICHMOND INCLUDED' . IN PROPOSED LIST State Chairman Lee Will Visit Oyster Bay Soon Manu

facturers' Opposition to Beveridge Is Dwindling. (Palladium Special) . Indianapolis, July 13. A strenuous effort will be made to get Theodore Roosevelt to make more than one apeecb In Indiana, though it Is doubtful if he cane induced to do bo. because of the great demand for hi3 service in various parts of the country. Republican State Chairman Lee is going to Oyster Bay within the next few days to have a talk, with Roosevelt during which he will lay before the former president the situation in thli tate, and show him how great results could be obtained if he would only snake several speeches in Indiana instead of one. Some time ago Roosevelt Invited Lee to visit him at Oyster Bay. He also Invited Senator Beveridge, as he wished to talk over Indiana politics with both of these men, whom he thought could give him the true report on the state of affairs. Beveridge has been there and had his talk, and he came away with Roosevelt's promise that he would make a speech for him In Indiana during the campaign. The reason why Chairman Lee has sot been to Oyster Bay long before urn haa com to Urht In the stateVt t.i l.j u t we Visit out to bo mad tome time alter he arrived, home from Africa, He said that there would bo such a rash of politicians at Oyster Bay andyrp many people would want to talk with him Immediately on hie return that It would be much better for the Indiana men to wait until after the rush was over, ao they could then sit down together and take plenty of time to talk thing all over. It will be remembered that State Chairman Lee did not go to New York when Roosevelt landed, although It was announced before hand , that he would go. as stated above. It was not the proper time for him to go to aee Roosevelt, and he remained at home while New . York gave Roosevelt his big home-coming reception. The fact (Continued on Page Three.)

THE REASON

William Allen White has a national reputation. He and his Emporia Gazette are known throughout the land as fearleas. , William Allen White la the Real Thing. Because of his fearless policy, advertising - is worth morth in his paper. Some people say that because a paper has more advertising '.than another that the pacer is controlled by the Interests. Well it usually works the other way around. Good advertising space is so valuable that men cannot afford NOT TO USE IT. A newspaper that benefits the whole community is the best advertising medium: vLook at a paper's policy.

CONTROLLED NEWSPAPERS. The Atchison Globe says that no advertiser has ever tried to' control Its editorial policy, the remark being occasioned by the charge often made nowadays, that the big advertisers direct the editorial policy of newspapers. The experience of the Globe Is the experience of most newspapers. The merchant who does a great deal a advertising Is more Interested In . the circulation department of a newspaper than in the editorial depart ment. It a dally paper goes to the homes of the people and is read by them, he Is satisfied, and It may chase after any theory or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles of his own. and he isn't trying to shoulder those of the editorial brethren. There are newspapers controlled by people outside of the editorial rooms, and a rood many of them, more's the pity; but the people exercising that control are not the business men who pay their money for ad- . vertlslng space. The newspapers which are established for political purposes aro often controlled by chronls offlceseekers, whose first concern Is their own interests. There are newspapers controlled by great corpor-" atlons, and the voice of auch newspapers Is always raised In protest against any genuine reform. , The averago western newspaper usually is controlled by Its owner, and he Is supposed to be In duty bound to make all sorts of sacrifices at alt sorts of times: there are people who consider It his duty to Insult his advertisers, Just to show that he Is free and Independent If he shows a decent respect for his patrons, who pay him their money, and make It possible for him to carry on the business, he is "subsidized" or "controlled." The newspaper owner Is a business man. like the dry goods man or the grocer. The merchants are expected to have consideration for their customers, and they are not supposed to be subsidized by the man who spends five dollars with them, but the publisher is expected to demonstrate his courage by showing that he is ungrateful for the patronage of his friends. It it a tunny combination, when you think it over. Emporia Gazette. ; The Palladium Is Interested In Its subscribers and its advertisers In all the people In Wayne County. The Palladium's advertlalng apace is being proved every day THE M08T EFFECTIVE IN THIS TRADE CENTER.

(American Xew Service Warwick, R. I., uly 13. The strike of laborers on the country estate of Senator Aldrich, where a great stone residence is being erected,' is on. The strikers demand $1.75 a day, an increase of 15 cents. A notice conspicuously posted about the site of the house states that 16 cents an hour will be paid for ten hours a day. The strikers forwarded an appeal to Senator Aldrich for $1.75 a day, declaring that the high cost of living made it impossible for them to get along on less wages. To this petition someone added: . "Owing to increase in the price of commodities under the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill."

ADVENTURES BY SEA German Steamer Attika Destroyed by Volcanic Eruption in Mid-ocean. FRENCH SHIP SAVES CREW London, July 13. A volcanic eruption in midocean totally destroyed the German steamer Attika on July 0, according to dispatches received by Lloyd's today. The steamer's crew was saved by the French steamer Radiolene. ' . The Attika was bound from Novorosslsk for Algiers when on July A, she -was suddenly heaved high on the crest of a gigantic wave. She buck led and her hatches broke open. So quickly did she fill that the crew barely escaped in the boats, and they had a hard fight to keep the small craft afloat In the terrific wash of the sea.

PLAN STRING OF LIGHTS FROM MAIN TO NORTH E Decorating Committee Intends to Connect Two Business Districts With Blaze of Electricity.

Active prepai ations for the Fall Fes tival will b3 started on Friday when meetings of the amlisenient. privilege and decoration committees will be held. Promoters of the festival say that from present prospects the 1910 event will be larger than ever before. The decorating committee is planning more extensive work than last year and the amusement committee expects to secure better attractions. An advertising campaign will be commenced in a few weeks, when the poster, designed by Charles Clawson, will be ready for the public. The feature of the decorating as planned will be a chain of electric lights, connecting the business district of North E street with that of Main street This chain will be on either Ninth or Tenth street and strung at the height of the regular arc lights. Tenth street is favored because it is wider, although Niath street is more centrally located, touching as it does, the middle of both the north end and the Main street business sections. The committee expects to use the usual arc light decoration on M?.in street, but more extensively than before. The meeting of the decoration committee will take place at the Leeds room on . Plan for Amusements. 1 Charles M. Marsh, representing the Theatrical Exchange of . Chicago. : will meet with the . privilege . and amusement committees on Friday. F. L. Torrence and Fred Lahrman are the chairmen of these committees. : The Theatrical Exchange is one of the biggest booking firms in the country for platform and small shows. In a letter to Secretary W. W. Reller, of the Young Men's Business club. Marsh states that he haa an excellent line of shows this year. This concern has booked shows for the Indiana state fair at Indianapolis for several years, and is thoroughly reliable. Many new advertising schemes will be employed by the advertising committee. It has been suggested that a number of large muslin signs advertising the festival be printed and displayed at county fairs and - racing meets within a radius of 150 miles of Richmond. A large delegation of Fall Festival boosters will go to the racing meet at Hamilton, O., during the last week in July.. Other big fairs to be visited are the Preble county fair at Eaton, O., and the Fayette county fair at Connersville. Posters May be Free. , A great many posters are left over from last year and because of this it has been suggested that only a nominal sum be charged for the posters this year, instead of twenty-five cents, as was charged last fall. Some members of the executive committee favor puttibg out the posters to the public free. Last year merchants were furnished posters free provided they would exhibit them. A suggestion was made that the placards be sent free to out of town people in case their names and postage o cover the cost of sending them are sent to the : executive committee. The premium list went to the printer yesterday. Eight thousand copies will be printed and sent to all farmers In this section of the county. MARRIED JO YEARS Mrs. James W. Wilson, Wife of Real Estate Dealer, Now Asks for a Divorce. DEMANDS $7,500 ALIMONY James W.

ELIMINATE TRESTLES

One of First Steps of C. & 0. ' Will Be to Make the C, C. & L. More Safe. NO CHANGE IN RICHMOND Trestle work on the C. & O. of Indiana, formerly the C, C. & L. will be eliminated wherever possible by the new owners and it is thought that much of the line in Wayne township will be altered for this reason. - The former owners had a great deal of trouble . with the trestle work and I wrecks were of frequent occurrance. . south, or the city the trestles will be done away, .with entirely, a new right of way being selected instead. However in Richmond ' the company has. a franchise to operate only over that portion of the city , in which Its tracks are now located and , it is improbable that another franchise will be sought.
