A Blow at Liberty

. The free press of America is in danger. It is in danger from two sources which by a coincidence appear to be working harmoniously or ia it a coincidence? This is the attack on the magazines by a confiscatory tax of 400 per cent made through the postoffice committee in the senate at the direction of President Taft. The other is the buying up of some of the most fearless magazines in America by the Morgan interests. It is a long, long story. It could not be told in one, nor two, nor three issues of the Palladium and it will only slowly unfold. To the people of this congressional district: Watch La Kollette, Beveridge, and the rest of the insurgents in the senate! Watch Murdock, Bristow and the progressives of both parties in the bouse. We know they will not stand for this.

This is the light of the every day citizen for the truth. It shall be as completely furnished to you as possible. Every man in congress is being watched. Whether he returns to private life again after trying to inflict a blow on the free press of America or whether he is just beginning his career he should be prepared to take the consequences of any act hostile to the freedom of the press of this country. It means the freedom of this country.

.4 Progressive Constitution The newly proposed changes for the constitution of Indiana which were brought out in the majority caucus of Monday night are progressive. They are: 1. A dual legislature. 2. Registration of voters. 3. Elimination or salary grabbing. 4. Recognition of the initiative, referendum and the ice.;. 5. A blow at feeding at the public trough. 6. Real constitutional amendments by the people. 7. Compulsory workmen's compensation. These are not all of them. But they show which way the wind is blowing. Party is not counting for as much as it did in the days which have gone by. The party and the men in it are entirely two different . things. A man does not now '"belong" to his party the party belongs to him or he will have none of it. Of the progressiveness of this measure there is no doubt. It is a big stride but it does not belong to the Democratic party alone it belongs to the progressives of both parties in Indiana the ' people. Theirs was the demand and the demand had to be filled.

BEG FOR SLICES OF TARDYPENSION South Bend, Ind., Feb. 15. Because congress is about to reward him with a $1,200 pension after ten years delay, John R. Kissinger, who made a hero of himself and became an invalid by submitting to yellow fever experiments during the Spanish-American war, Is besieged with appeals for aid from all parts of the country. Kissinger dreads the publicity the case has brought him. and Is greatly annoyed by the letters. He says he will have little money after the pension has been granted, let alone any to give away. Mr. Kissinger's mail In the last few days has contained a large number of appeals for aid. A Virginia woman wrote and asked for the loan of $750 to pay off a mortgage, whilo a resident of Nutwood, this county, who said her husband had eloped with a negress. Inquired in a letter if Mr. Kissinger would be willing to buy a piano for the oldest of her nine childrcm and h violin for another. "I wouhl never have bothered you," the woman wrote, "but my children take to music just "like a duck to water and I am too poor to buy them a planer." We furnish Special.

WORD "LIAR" CAUSES SCENE IN OKLAHOMA

Oklahoma City, Okla., Feb. 15. There was a scene in the dining room of a leading hotel when Dr. Alexander Potter, a New York City water works expert gave the lie direct to Miss Kate Bernard, state commissioner of charities and corrections, and was almost mobbed by surrounding men. Miss Barnard's earnest work has made her universally popular in the state. The New Yorker Is preparing a set of plans for a new water works system for this city, and has lately been engaged In the general row over that project. He said to Miss Barnard: "Miss Barnard, yon are no lady; you are hiding behind your petticoats to fight me." Tho famous little woman pqlitician replied that she was merely trying to "defend her poor people from liquid sewage." Dr. Potter countered by challenging her authority. Miss Barnard named the state commissioner of health. "That is a lie," Dr. Potter replied. A doctor grabbed the New Yorker by the collar and hurled him against a pillar. A dozeno thers gathered, trypillar. A dozen others gathered, tryBernard and a hotel clerk interposed. Some one set up the shout, "Kill him,,' but the crowd was forced back. That it is never too late to .work has been proved by' Louis Carpenter, age 107 years, who has applied to the Saskatoon land office for a homestead. Mr. Carpenter is strong, vigorous and active and Is anxious to procure a pre-emption in addition. IN HISTORY" the Best Light at Any Price

When you pay more than the Rayo price for a lamp, you are paying for extra decorations that cannot add to the quality of the light. You can't pay for a better light, because there is none. An oil light has the least effect on the human eye, and the Rayo Lamp is the best oil lamp made, though low in price. You can pay $5, $10, or $20 for some other lamo. and although

you get a more costly lamp, you can't get a better light than the white, mellow, diffused, unflickering light of the lowpriced Kayo. Has a strong, durable shade-holder. This seaeon's burner adds to the strength and appearance. Made of solid brass, nickeled, and easily polished. Once a Rayo User, Always Ona

DOWNWARD COURSE

Fast Being Realized by Richmond People. A little backache at first. Daily increasing till the back is lame and weak. Urinary disorders quickly follow; Diabetes and finally Bright's disease. This is the downward course of kidney Ills. Don't take this course. Richmond residents should profit by the follow ing experience. i Mrs. John Sioniker, E. Church St., Cambridge City, Ind., says: "I willingly confirm all I said regarding Doan's Kidney Pills, when I publicly endorsed them in June, 1907. This remedy was of greater benefit to me than any other I ever took for disordered kidneys. I was afflicted with kidney and bladder trouble and was caused much annoyance by too frequent passages of the kidney secretions. Backache kept me in misery and there were acute pains across my loins. I slept poorly, was tired and languid and had but little strength. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, I got a supply at Carpenter's Drug Store and it did not take them long to drive away my trouble." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

13 III COTTON BELT

Texas Could Produce 30,000,000 Bales, Figures Show. San Antonio. Tex., Feb. 15. The. production, by Texas of almost 3,000,000 bales of cotton in 1910 gives some notion of what this state might do were all the arable land under cultivation, in round numbers there are 34,000,000 acres of tilable land in the state. Of this sum 3, 797,965 acres or about eleven per cent, is" cultivated. In addition to the cotton grown the corn crop of 1910 was a close second A . , , . , , n the matter of wealth to the farmer. If instead of 3,000,000 acres in round numbers 30,000,000 of the entire arable area of the state was under cultivation, and the same percentage devoted to cotton the output of this staple alone from Texas would approximate 30,000,000 bales or more than three times the entire product of the cotton belt of the country in 1910. From these figures two interesting calculations can be made as follows: first, the vast population the state will maintain, and secondly, the enormous value which may be taken from the soil in the form of one staple alone. In addition to cotton the vegetable production of the state is rapidly becoming a great factor in tho wealth produced and to this may be added the fruit production. Few people have any conception of the size of this state. It is almost 1000 miles from Orange, near the eastern line to El Paso on the western extremity, and more than 600 miles from Denison to Brownsville. In extent the state is larger than the German empire. And when is is recalled that Germany con tain forty seven cities of rriore than 100,000 population, seven of these ' having more than 500,000 population, , some notion of the possibilities of Texas both as an agricultural area j and population center can be gatahered. It is estimated that this state can support a population of 20,000,000 people and not be as thickly settled as some of the eastern states and many of the European countries. It can truthfully be said that Texas has the size and the soil. For Sprains "I fell and sprained my arm and was in terrible pain.

TO RELIEVE BURDEN Proposed to Appoint Commissioners to Assist the Judges. Attorneys practicing at the Wayne county bar are inclined to look with favor upon the proposed bill in the legislature, which will create two probate commissioners, whose duties it shall be to assist the judge of the circuit court in the handling of court

affairs. The purpose is to relievo the congestion of the civil, probate and criminal dockets. If the bill is passed, Wayne county utlUMUUICUlJ n III UVT Vi LIT. ill I Lit? I1ISI IV ; ttla'' . ; 7 , ' ed. The different divisions of the Wayne court, presided over by Judge H. C. Fox, are always in a state of congestion, due entirely to the fact that there is more work than Judge Fox is able to handle and in fact more than any other individual would be able to dispose of. Each year there are approximately three hundred cuses disposed of in the civil division, while there ure probably several times this number of probate cases considered. Judge Fox often has stated that the only way in which the court could keep up with his docket was to have an assistant to handle the probate matter. Hot Water Plants.
