A Big Thing

The ministerial association of Richmond recently addressed a communication to the Governor of this state praying for bis help in securing proper marriage regulations based on the common knowledge the bitter common knowledge of mankind. That Governor Marshall refused to have anything to do with the proposition simply throws it back on tale idea of a non-combatant governor." Governor Marshall haa taken the atand that he la not only no more than a private citizen, but that he is even less than a public-spirited private citizen. Of course he may be right. It saves in the first place a lot of trouble In dividing the meritorious propositions from tbe worthless or negligible. It saves s lot of things which enter into the political game and as far ss the thing which men call their personal integrity la concerned is no reflection against him.

We believe we do the governor of Indiana no Injustice when we say that he will not sign a veto or take any part in remedial legislation except through various political actions which mark his operations. Notably there stands out the last flght of his own party when he made Kern the candidate for senator. At present be la engaged in the business of making his presence felt in a flght to keep the speakership from falling Into the bands of Taggart. In all these things and the many which we cannot here well record decent partisanshipGovernor Marshall has done well. Probably Governor Marshall will never realize it The tissue of bis mind has been set from bis environment snd on s certain imperfect and entirely too Impractical idea of "constitutionality" and Jeffersonlan doctrine adhered, to literally.

But in the hope that tbe minds of our readers should not be set in the Idea that the governorship is a mere empty office we call the attention of the readers of the Palladium to the really vital proposition that the governor bas raised in comparison with the thing he has opposed.

When tbe Madison Insane hospital waa opened we treated it as a mere necessity. It Is not. We believe this matter shouuld be treated straight from the shoulder. The hospital erected by the people of Indiana was s monument to syphlllls directly snd Indirectly. . It has not been more than three or four months since Collier's paid a tribute to the marriage laws of Indiana criminality and the like. Why not go on? Thlt Is snother phase of the same question. There Is no use In being prudish about thla matter it Is only a matter involving murder, degeneracy and the like. If you are going to stop it it must be fought not ignored. The point is that the governor, like many another man, does not see that the time haa come in this day of development and responsibility wben be must recognise that be as an appointed (and for that matter elected) official of society must take a band else he shares the responsibility of all society's evils with tbe every day man. Dfd Ehrlich, the discoverer of 606 the possible salvation of millions, ask himself. "Am I my brother's keeper" "I am merely the governor of Indiana?" Suppose, with false modesty, Ehrlich had hid hla light under a buahel "I am merely the governor the constitution does not compel me to do. this." Yes, but what of the babiea that are born sightless? What of the mothers thst die in childbirth? Whst Is the Insane in the hospitals? What of the crimes? What of the degradation, sin snd unhappiness lives wrecked? If the bublest citizen withholds his band is he guilty of murder? We are beginning to realize it. And the governor of Indiana at leaat a citizen.

We are all of us weary to desth of those who furnish excuses, er s man who will come out In tbe open snd light. Doctors bsve nothing to do wltb the office of matrimony? How come our children Into the world? Is the spirit separated from the body? Why la a man hung for murder? Ia It to punish bis body? If so let us resort to torture.'

Rath-

Read now what William Lee Howard, an suthorlty, writing in Pearson's Msgszlne, says: "There Is something wrong smong the ethical and educated medical men when they allow auch atatementa aa are daily published in flare beadlines, to pass as truths. It these atatementa are all wrong, if the advertisements of the quacka are Ilea and injurious to the public welfare why are the honest doctors silent?

"This Is the question that tbe public want answered.

"Let me state a few of the conditions which bsve prevented the physicians from enlightening the public. These conditions show that the dally papers, which pride' tbemaelves upon allowing nothing of evil import, of sexual suggestions, to be printed in their columns, are in reality the greatest foe we have against right living, morality and aex hygiene. For it la the want of this latter knowledge that Is the cause of much immorality and disease. "When the public fully realizes the extent snd many diseases due to venereal Infection, then any figures given as to the prevalence of syphlllls and gonorrhea will be seen to be underestimated rather than exaggerated.

"For example, one out of every three cases of apoplexy Is due to syphillls of the arteries of the brain. Sudden death from heart disease Is frequently only gonorrheal Infection of the lining of the heart, or syphilitic affection of the valves. Fatal rheumatism In children is often only venereal Infection Innocently acquired or Inherited. These sad cases occur In about ten out of every hundred supposed true rheumatism. Rheumatism in the young man and the middle-aged is very frequently nothing but venereal infection, poisons circulating in and around the Joints of the victims. This may end In totally crippling the victim. "It baa been estimated and thia estimate standa true for all the land that there are in New York City over 800,000 persons affected with venereal diseases. These are either suffering from the acute stages or the effects of the diseases. And the acute stage, remember, is a moat contagious one. 600,000 of these individuals are gonorrheal victims. Ten per cent, of these will have rheumatism In some form. 0,000 people, mostly the young, crippled temporarily or permonently! Think of ftl Many of these who apparently recover from the acute stage will have the poisons going to the linings of the heart to remain for some time; then when sn extra strain on the heart is brought to bear the victim drops dead. "Heart disease" reada the death certificate. An autopsy will show gonorrhea.

"Seventy-five out of every hundred women who are operated upon for pelvic diseases have been Infected by the germs of gonorrhea. The great majority of these have been pure, innocent wives. Their ignorant husbands bave infected them. The injurious silence of the press and a false public prudery have prevented these husbands when youths from having tbe matter plainly explained to them. "Divorce increasing? Of course; cannot you all aee why? Divorce increases in direct ratio to the Increase of venereal diseases. We cannot atop the effect until we stop the cause." William Lee Howard in Pearson's Magazine.

It Is the common fashion to sneer at the ministry. It is sometimes popular. For our part let us dispense with the little snd go on with the big. It is only the little ideas of Christianity, dogma, creed, and the rule of thumb, the "unco guld." the man who casts the stone the holier than thou that any of us resent. It is a big minded move the ministers of this town bave started a-rolllng They will win this time. Tbe powers that be. are. we fear from what we know of politics and partisanship, against them but we are all with them on the citizenship side the human side. Every man and woman who haa reached anything like the age of maturity will wish them God speed.

And if Governor Marshall is so intent on bis Jeffersonlan democracy let him remember, first that It was none other than Thomas Jefferson who said "The child Is the chief ssset of the state." It will do. secondly, for him to consider that Jefferson was a real phil-, osophleal anarchist one of the first under the name, who said thewonly way to achieve ultimate perfection waa to arrive at the ultimate perfection of man. That can't be done, yon know. Governor Marshall, without taking s hand in things to make them better. We are not so many ministers, brewery agents, lawyers, doctors snd mechanics millionaires and paupers Juat people all of us.

Each man can exercise bis citizenship In the real meaning even If he isn't governor. ""' -

Art of Window Dressing Is Expensive to Merchants

Philadelphia, Dec. 3. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in merchandise will be displayed In Philadelphia, shop windows at Christmas time, and the bare coat of trimming these windows which means tbe expense of tbe mechanical end of It, win run well up into tbe hundred thousands. This la inclusive of other lines than dry goods, but in the department atorea alone, patronized more exclusively by women, the expense of window decoration will be enormous. In the big dry goods establishments of tbe country the post of window decorator is a most important one, and men who hold auch Jobs get salaries that range anywhere from 85,000 to 815.006. "There ia no standard for brains," waa the way one window decorator expressed it In speaking of the salaries paid these men, "for the man is to be Judged by bis value to the house. As with painters, the amount a canvas brings depends to a great degree on the personal estimate the purchaser puts upon it." And to American women, according to thia specialist, is given the credit of bringing about the evolution in shop windows from the time when a collection of household Junk was shown behind a small paned sash simply to let the public know what sort of goods the merchant had to the finest production of the window dresser's art displayed amid settings costing a fortune in themselves. A Costly Setting. One American tnerchant recently displayed what is .undoubtedly the best bit in window dressing in this country, the mechanical setting for which alone coat him f 10,000. To account for the sum expended there was a stunning background of rare woods, a triumph of the cabinet-maker's art, with hand carving in renaissance style all of which was designed as a setting for a collection of handsome imported gowns selected to harmonize with tbe background. One window dresser in a big establishment who has a score of windows to be responsible for says that the value of merchandise to be used in these windows at tbe holiday season will at the very lowest estimate mount up to 850,000, and In all probability, if expensive fura are included, will be

three times that amount. I

From 8400 to 8500 a window will be expended for the necessary carpentry,

draperies and other accessories, though in special cases this amount

will be increased to 82.000. Naturally, special occasions like Thanksgiving,

Christmas and the horse show offer

wider opportunities for the window decorators, aa well as open up a larger channel for the expenditure of money. Few persons have any idea of how far in advance of the season the window decorator bas to work. For ex

ample, large branches of holly with

many bright red berries seen hanging

conspicuously on the wall of the window dresser's workshop led to the inquiry as to Its utility in the Indian summer weather prevailing at that time. "Ob, that was left over from Christmas," was the casual remark.

followed by the explanation that the Christmas display was completed weeks ago. In fact, thia proved to be the case in all the big stores; the designs had been made, mechanical accessories built and decorations applied way back in October, everything being In readiness for the final installation at tbe proper moment. Today the decorator is working on designs for Lincoln's and Washington's birthday settings. Attractive to Women. "American women, except those who travel abroad, little realize," said the window dresser, "what advantage they have over their foreign sisters in respect to extensive window displays in shop windows. So accustomed are they to' look for and expect It that nothing surprises them, not even when a new record has been made. But let them visit the shops across the water, and not to be Impressed by the comparison in favor of their own country would be impossible. "To be sure, conditions are changing on the other aide all the time, and particularly is thia the case in London, where the introduction of dry goods stores run on the American plan has been very popular. Still, the English merchant is very conservative snd it is very conservative and it is difficult for him to eradicate the habit of years. "Germany's shops are gradually becoming Americanized. . and while in France there is no comparison to the sort of display American merchanta make in the extent and cost of their settings, nevertheless the French shop windows are extravagant in a small way and exceedingly attractive. As a rule the shops are small, and doubtless all the stock will be placed in the window, but the taste with which It Is arranged is indisputable. One gets many bints and suggestions which are adaptable to our work here. "Show windows are looked upon as one of the beat mediums of advertis

ing, and a woman customer is half

won If she Is arrested by tbe attractions of your display. Newspapers announce to the public what the store is selling, show windows display it. The success of a show window is measured by the crowd which It attracts. If no interest la manifested then there is something altogether wrong, and it is our duty to set shout discovering what that may be. Changes Frequent, To attract customers, window displays must not only be frequently changed every three days at least but only the most up-to-date stuff must be shown. This Is sa important feature. As fast ss new goods come la they are advertise- and then displayed. Thia keeps np a continual interest among women, tor even though they dont ssesa to boy at once, many make a business of visiting shop windows to see what is being worn, go that

wben they are ready to buy they will know precisely what to get and whore to get it. "Once it waa said that color was the important thing to attract a woman's attention to a show window, but that day has gone by. Now It is harmony of color. The readiness with which color could be cheapened decided conservative women against it. In the matter of velvets, of course, the quality gives a character that a cheaper fabric would not possess. But generally speaking it ia harmony of color, the blending of rare and unusual shades that is demanded today, and this has introduced a decidedly new note in window display. It gives more scope for the artistic sense, though a window dresser must not allow alls picture sense to run away with the practical side of the subject. "As to what sort of goods attract a woman most, probably the new materials and trimmings first, but once the season is fully opened, then the ready-to-wear goods come next in point of Interest. Millinery is always popular, and art needle-work always pleases tbe women who do hand work."

GOLD NUGGETS FOUND IN KENTUCKY

Glasgow, Ky Dee. S. A report from Henderson vtlle, in Metcalfe county, says that while digging post holes on his farm James V. Love dug up what he believed to be gold. Three aaples were sent to assay era In different parte of the United States. The result of each test was precisely the same, being found to contain 81-80 to the ton. Each of them advised Mr. Love to not undertake to mine the ore unless it was found to contain aa much as 88 per ton. He continued his search and this week discovered In a different section on his farm a much richer ore. In thia ore the gold does not follow in the seams of the rock, but is found in small nuggets, from the size of a pinhead to that of a grain of wheat. Samplea of his last discovery has been forwarded for tests.
