More About Newspaper Honesty We are very glad that the Item has brought to public attention a particular matter of which we were about to speak in general as showing the necessity for placing the advertising business on a fair and equal basis. Our position in this matter is that advertising ought to depend upon circulation and its various qualities and not upon any other basis. Collier's Weekly has established its circulation on a basis whereby the rate is made commensurate with its circulation if it drops a refund is made on a contract in other words it is a guarantee of service rendered. If the business of advertising were placed on the equitable basis whereby at periodical times a thorough and honest investigation were made of advertising mediums there would remain no reason why all papers should not receive the same space for which was paid a standard lroiortional rate, and the whole tone of the advertising business raised from a matter involving even the present friction into a recognition of the ower and valu of the scientific use of advertising.

That this condition of obtaining advertising not on the merits of circulation, but on another basis is the policy of the Item we need submit no other evidence than that found in the Item of last evening. Instead of taking tin: business view of the advertising business in Richmond (dependent on the local tield from the very nature of the business) that anything which would hurt the Meld and its growth would hurt the medium dependent for its own prosperity on the results of its own advertising columns, we find another situation, which is that the merchant is expected to appreciate gratefully a thing which would in fact hurt Ihe Item's own business In the long run, should results from the Fair advertising bo forthcoming. Is it not the fact that the Item instead of taking this view went out to the merchants and told them that they should appreciate this by advertising because the Item was still "maturely" considering carrying the advertising from a mail order house? Is it not a fact that before the Item accepted or rejected the advertising proposition of the Fair, one of the largest of the Chicago mail order houses, the Item submitted the Fair advertising to an officer of the merchants' section of the Commercial Club and had that official call upon several of the largest advertisers in the city to a6k them what their attitude would be if the Item would accept the Fair proposition, and is it not true that when the Item learned that the local advertisers were strenuously opposed to having the Item carry the Fair advertising, the Item turned down the Fair's proposition and then, in a front page article in the Tuesday evening issue, virtuously proclaim to the local advertisers: "See, Mr. Merchant, how much we love you. We have turned down u big mall order contract because it might work an injury to you." Is it not true that the acceptance of a $300 contract from a Chicago mail order house might lose $2,000 or $3,000 local business the real reason why the Fair contract was so virtuously rejected by the Item? Is the Item's advertising solicited on the merits of circulation, or is it solicited on the grounds of "appreciation?" This is precisely the point which we have insisted all along should be eliminated from advertising in Richmond. In protesting that the remarks of last Sunday on newspaper honesty were pointless, the evidence has been printed all to read on the authority of the Item.

As for the merits of the two papers as advertising mediums that should depend on advertising rates, based on known and real circulation. We cannot believe that "The Fair" of Chicago has investigated either ours or the Item's circulation as the editor of the Item Intimates perhaps Mr. Watson sent that institution a letter also. But if the Fair knows the circulation of the Item, it is more than any merchant of Richmond knows, and they know that the Item while content to receive advertising is not willing to submit to an investigation.

Omitting then all personalities we submit that the points made in the Palladium or last Sunday not only hold good but have been proved. The meaning of honesty In advertising and newspaper circulation to the welfare of the community was at that time set forth. We propose still not to have the Issue diverted In editorial comment. The request for an Investigation should have been agreed to without a second's hesitation by the Item if it had nothing to conceal along the lines of newspaper honesty.

EIGHTY JARS OLD Is Former Postmaster General Thomas L. James.

(American News Sorvlop) New York. March 29. Gen. Thomas L. James, who was postmaster general In President Garfield's cabinet, received congratulations of a host of friends today on the occasion of his eightieth birthday anniversary. Few men In the metropolis are better known than Gen. James. As postmaster general he made an enviable record by bringing to light the "star route" frauds and effecting reforms in the postal service that saved the government millions of dollars. His later career as executive head of the Lincoln Xtt'onal bank, of which he has been president for many years, ulio has been characterized by administrative abilities of the highest order. An Obliging Model. A Wall street man was giving advice to young men. "Never undertake." he said, "to do too much. Id applying for a position It U almost better to promise too little than too much. Remember the model. "An old chap, you know, applied to a New York artist for the post of model " 'Well aaid the artist, 'what do you ait for? "Oh. anything, sir, said the model fingering bis beard nervously, 'anything you like, sir landscape if necessary.' " IN HISTORY"

ENTER PETITION FOR NEW SCHOOL

But Smyrna and Middleboro Districts May Be Merged for Purpose. To consider the petition of E. L. N'orris and twenty-four other parents whose children attend the Middleboro school about three miles north of the city, for a new school building, the Wayne township advisory board will meet in special session soon. The present building is over fifty years old, in bad state of repairs and is now considered wholly unsanitary. There are fifty-four school children living in this district. It is probable that the advisory board will not comply with the petition but will afford relief. T:ie plan which the officials regard as the best is to discontinue the Middleboro and Smyrna schools and to construct another building half way between these two. By this plan the one building could be made to serve both school districts and would result In cutting down operating expenses. They hold that no great inconvenience would be experienced by anyone if their jlan is followed out. If the advisory board either abides by the petition or determines on the plan referred to the work will be started within the next month or so, in order that school may be resumed at the regular time after the summer vacation. The Smyrna school building is in little better shape than the Middleboro building. By merging the two districts and making one building serve the purpose of two, the original outlay will not be greater than if a new building replaces the Middleboro school. In either case the original expenditure for building and equipment will be approximately $S,00Q. CLEMENCY SHOWN TO A BLIND MAN "On account of your misfortune, I shall suspend sentence," said Acting City Judge Abbott, to Orville Thompson, a blind man, arraigned for drunk, in police court today. The sentence will be suspended during Thompson's good behavior. Albert Robbins, who was arrested with Thompson, was fined ?1 and costs, and then held on an affidavit charging assault and battery on Clarence Moffett. It is alleged that the men fought over Lizzie Moon, a boarding house keeper, who keeps a place on North Thirteenth street Robbins will be tried tomorrow. Ross White was fined $1 and costs for drunk.

Doctors Advised OperationDecided to Try Great Kidney Remedy. T want to tell you in a few words what Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root did for me, believing that my testimony may do some other suffering person a great deal of good. About six years ago I was dangerously ill, consulted three doctors, all of whom said I had kidney trouble. Ono of the doctors analyzed my urine and reported that I had gravel, and further said that in order to regain my health and life, an operation would be necessary. I did not want to be operated on as I was afraid that I would not recover. Some one told me of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root and said it wa a reliable medicine for kidney trouble, so I decided to try it and went to Mr. Rose, the druggist, at 303 Central ave. Minneapolis, and bought a bottle, took it, noticed results and continued takiug it until I wa3 entirely cured. Having been free from any kidney trouble for over six years. I consider that I am absolutely cured and knowthat Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root has the credit. I never fail to tell my friends about your remedy, as I believe it is the best of its kind. Your U & " Ointment is also very good. We are never without a jar in our house. Yours very truly. MRS. MARGARET E. ANDERSON Minneapolis Minn. State of Minnesota, County of Hennepin, sp.

HE LIKEST0 FISH Instead of Work, Says Mrs. Wallace of Her Husband.

Evidently considering the divorce as formal an affair as the marriage ceremony, for he promised his wife he would pay for the decree of separation If she would secure it, Joseph E. Wallace, once a fisherman but now a drayman, will appear before the circuit court Thursday to give his testimony in the divorce case filed by Mrs. Wallace. She testified Wednesday. The Injured complainant who told the court she still spoke to her hus-j hand when she met him on the street, also declared that the present separation was the fourth since their marriage and added that she was now convinced it would be impossible for them to ever live together again happily. Their first trouble was six years ago. four years after their marriage and since then separations have been a matter of routine. Failure to provide was alleged, but testimony relative to his alleged infidelity, also crept in. No clothing nor money has been given the complainant by the defendant in the last two years, she said. They separated the last time in August, 1909. It was brought out in testimony that Wallace preferred to fish and loaf rather than work, although the good word that he was a capable workman, when he did work, was given by Mrs. Wallace. NEW POSTAL CLERK FOR LOCAL OFFICE Owing to the already excessive hours of the post office clerks and the recent instructions from the postmaster general to give compensatory time off to clerks in lieu of Sunday work. Postmaster E. M. Haas applied to the department for an extra clerk and following an investigation of the situation by a post office inspector, the request was granted. In pursuance of the usual policy of selecting the substitute, Charles C. Hyde, who has been substitute cjek since last fall, was appointed to the position by the post master. He will assume his new duties Saturday, April 1. Mr. Hyde has been a school teacher in this county for many years. His last school was at East Germantown. No substitute to fill the vacancycaused by Mr. Hyde's appointment has been selected by Postmaster Haas. ORPHANS WILL COME TO THE ENCAMPMENT Lawrence A. Handley, chairman of the executive committee having in charge the arrangements for the G. A. R. encampment, received word today that thirty boys and girls would be sent over from the Knightstown Sailors' and Soldiers' Orphans' Home to furnish a part of the program at the camp fire meeting to be held at the Coliseum on the opening night of the encampment, May 16. They will give a drill and a few song numbers. The Knightstown Home band will also be present during the encampment. In a letter to Postmaster E. M. Haas chairman of the encampment program committee. General J. Warren Keifer, of Springfield, Ohio, formerly accepts the invitation to deliver an address at the camp fire meeting. "I am quite satisfied that I will be nicely entertained," said the general in his letter, "and that I will have a very agreeable time meeting your people and the G. A. R. of Indiana. I will do what I can to make the camp fire a success." A Feather in His Cap. The origin of "a feather in his cap" Is thus explained: In Hungary in 1509 It was decreed that only he who had killed a Turk should wear a feather, and he was permitted to add a fresh feather to his cap for each Turk whom he had slain.

ET SHREOSjy REED Servant Treated Better Than Wives Author States Man Cheap Skate. Chicago, March 29. "Man is cheap skate, and woman almost a as bad." This doesn't sound much like "Lavender and Old Lace," but is was the author of that "sweet cented manuscript," Myrtle Reed McCullough, who said it in effect to the somewhat scandalized members of the Raveuswood Woman's club. The author was outlining her views on matrimony. "The wife," she said, "gets her board, her clothes and a few kind words, while her servant in the kitchen geto her board, her clothes and $7 a week. If the average husband used the same language to his servants as he does to his wife, his skull would be corrugated from collisions with a rolling pin.

'You would have great difficulty in finding a workingwomau in this great city willing to exchange her weeklypay envelope for her employer's whispered 'darling' and his beery kiss. Marriage in a good many cases is a gold brick game in which the man exchanges that intangible thing called iovo' for the wife's real service. The modem woman is suffering from atavism. Modern living conditions have brought this about. History has repeated itself and women are back in the cave dwelling place. The up-to-date flat is the troglodyte's cave, embellished with plumbing and electric lights. "Eighty-six per cent of the women are cave dwellers. They toil all day in the little caves they call home, while the man roams the highways seeking whom he may devour. 'She bedecks herself with the teeth and the hides of wild beasts, and nev er is so happy as when she is able to parade herself before the world glorified in the feathers of some poor bird slaughtered by a brute of a man. "Woman never will be able to emancipate herself until she puts all this aside. Corsets, French heels and the nursing bottles are the chains that bind her to the husband's chariot wheels. The truly great women of the world have been iconoclasts. They laughed at convention. If modern women would follow in the footsteps of the great ones of her sex. the problem of women's rights would be solved. And the race would not die out cither. Men would marry us just the same and be glad of the chance." THE GOOD PHYSICIAN'S METHOD It is a small wonder that physicians prescribe an alterative (blood purifier for so many afflictions, since the blood is so intimately related with every function of the human body. Poisoned, or impure blood, aside from such manifestations as syphilis, catarrh, inflammatory rheumatism, pimples, boils, sores, muddy complexion, etc., effects the appetitie, the digestion and the whole human organism. The most powerful and effective alterative known Is Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegeteable Compound, discovered by a famous physician of Indiana and used in his practice more than forty years ago. It has never failed to cure the most dreadful form of all poisoned blood (syphilis) and has of course readily conquered all the lesser blood diseases. ! Nothing has ever equalled it for glvlng a clear, healthy complexion. It is sold at $1 per bottle at all drug stores.

RICHMOND, INDIANA

TO BE HEW FACTORY Collar Pad Concern Will Locate Here Soon.

That the new factory of D. S. Brown of Watertown, N. Y., will soon be located in Richmond is assured by the fact that an option on the residence property desired by him, and upon which his removal to this city hinged, has been secured through the efforts of the Richmond Commercial club. Mr. Brown visited Richmond a short time ago seeking a location. He was very much impressed with the city and declared that he would move here if he could secure the Mills residence opposite Earlham college. Mr. Brown is the owner of a factory of considerable size manufacturing collar pads for horses, an invention of his own. He is expected to arrive in the city soon and commence arrangements for bringing his factory here. FIRE CHIEF ASKS ADDITIONAL MAIN City Controller E. G.

AWFUL PAINS FULLY DESCRIBED A Lady or Pizarro Tells Story of Awful Suffering That Cardid finally Relieved. Pizarro, Va. "I suffered for several years," writes Mrs. Dorma A. Smith, "with that awful backache and the bear ingdown sensations, so fully described in your book. "I tried doctors and other medicines and found little relief, until I was induced to try Wine of Cardui, when I found instant relief and today 1 can heartily recommend Cardui to all suffering women and think there is no other as good." In some instances, Cardui gives instant relief; in others, it may take a little time. But in all cases of female trouble Cardui can be depended on to be of benefit, as it is a specific remedy for women and acts in a curative way on the womanly organs. a Kcuciai iuiiiv. iui women, 10 uuiiu up your strength, improve your appetite, bring back rosy cheeks and make you look and feel .young and happy, nothing you can find will do so much for you as Cardui.
