This Is My 67th Birthday

JAMES TANNER. James Tanner, familiarly known us "Corporal" Tanner, who for years has been a conspicuous leader in Grand Army tlr le, was born in Richmond. N. V., April 4. 1844. In the civil war ho erved as private and corioral of the S7lh New York volunteers. At the second battle of Hull Run he lott both lojss. At the close of the war he became a clerk in the war department itnd thtn went to Albany to serve as clerk in the New York legislature, whero he continued several years, "hlle there be studied law and was admitted to the bar iu 1869. After practicing law several years be reentered political life and held successively tho offices of clerk in the United Stilts cusiom house, deputy collector of customs and collector of tho city of Itrooklyn. lie took a prominent Iurt in the Harrison campaign in 1SSS and was appointed by President Harrison to the office of United State commissioner of pensions. Af

ter his retirement from office be be

came a p?nslou attorney in Washington. Corjioral Tanner has served as d pertinent commander of the G. A. It. of New York and aa comma nder-in-chief, of the national organization.

President Diaz's Message. The message of President Diaz will seem to the average American a somewhat gingerly and spiritless utterance not calculated to quench the flames of armed rebellion. But Mexlcain official phraseology is nor. like ours, and it may be possible for the Mexicans to read into it more of reliable assurance than we can. The polite euphemisms which in the past have thrown the pleasant guise of republican government over the stern autocracy of the Porfirian regime may contain more of truth and less of political etiquette than ever before. And it Is possible to make out in it something in the nature of definite promises to concede certain specific demands. "The change of ministry just effected," says the message, "aims, for example, at satisfying in practice one general aspiration, which is that the political personnel be renovated from time to time." A "firm purpose to give heed to reasonable complaints against some of the authorities" is announced. The fact that such an assurance is needed throws a bright light on conditions. Just why "reasonable complaints" not only against "some authorities" but against any authority have not been heard hitherto would seem to be ajoser for the apologists of Porfirian rule. What this comes to. in fact, is that the petty tyranny and graft of Jefes KIitico and other locul officials is to be checked In some manner. As a glimpse at the demand for local self government, one of the most reasonable of the revolutionary demands, this may serve. "Tho principle of no reelection for executive functionaires, elected by by popular suffrage," seems a graceful way of referring to the iron dominance of Diaz's will over the selection of governors and his insistence upon their acceptance by the states during his good pleasure. Reforms in the election laws are declared to be intimately bound up with this reform, which, it is to be hoped, may be taken as assent to an actual working of the electoral system rather than u mere change of laws which mean nothing unless they may be put into practice. The cutting up or the great estates is promised, though the method of procedure is not yet. settled. These are the chief points of the message. Whether it will be accepted by Mexican liberal opinion probably depends upon the ability of the new cabinet to impress the nation with its authority and its will to begin something in the nature of a genuine republican form of government. Chicago Tribune.

Let's Co-operate!

"A quarrel over si mere matter of a newspaper's own subscription lists is utterly unworthy and should only be undertaken in self-defense." The Item, seeking In its usual weak style to evade the consequences of the proposition advanced by Foreign Representative Watson, as coming from its publishers, in the above words clearly justifies the Palladium in its stand in regard to this circulation question. When Mr. Watson, in his letter to a foreign advertiser, said "the publishers of the Item offer "$."i00 in gold to anyone demonstrating that the Palladium has within 2im gross of what they claim," he certainly attacked the Palladium's circulation and the integrity of its manager who swears to the truthfulness of all its circulation statements. The measures of self-defense adopted by the Palladium were to invite the management of the Item to make an investigation of this paper's circulation, promising to furnish all records and afford every opportunity to aid in the work, and to challenge that paper to a joint circulation investigation with an offer of $."00 to charity if the Palladium, as the result of this investigation, did not have 2000 more net paid circulation than the Item.

To the present moment the Item, which seems to have developed a well defined yellow streak In the past year or two, has not seen fit to accept either proposition. On the contrary it has side-stepped these propositions in a cowardly, though ludicrous, manner and has sagely wrangled about the universe from n year-and-a-half old Palladium Water Work editorial down to tlie question of co-operating for the benefit and advancement of Richmond. The Palladium has always shown the spirit of co-operation in fuitherance of Richmond's cause and always will. It was for Richmond when tho editor of the Item thought It insulting to invite Theodore Roosevelt to attend last fall's Centennial celebration! Right now, even though that paper l.as degenerated into a traducer of another paper's circulation the Palladium is willing to co-operated with the Item in a joint circulation investigation, so that the advertisers of this city who pay for circulation may know if there are any circulation liars in the Richmond newspaper field.

If the Item hesitates much longer in doing its share in furthering a joint circulation Investigation for the benefit of our advertisers, it will become increasingly apparent that fear of an unworthy result is occasioning its timidity.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

JAPAN AND AMERICA. From the Chicago News. Mr. Taft put the lid on the Japanese war scare, but the morbid will continue to try to peep under. From the Sprinheld Republican. The Japanese war scare in connection with the Texas maneuver has been pursued to its lair. From the Mexican Herald. The Japanese are trying to increase their trade, and to make some money, and are not thinking day and night of war. From the New York Herald. The flimsy rumors of, Japanese warlike plottings and sehemings are of the stuff that yellow press dreams are made of. From the. Albuquerque Journal. Japan has abundant warning from our experience not to attempt any maneuvers ot this time. From the Scranton Tribune. It will be mighty mean of Japan if she neglects to declare war against the United States until the opening of the baseball season. From the Anaconda Standard. Mr. Hobson is exercising more self restraint than usual this spring, though he's still jingoing some. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. President Taft and the mikado say there is no danger of war between their two countries, and they ought to know what they are talking about.

RUSSIA AND CHINA. From the Detroit News. Well, if Russia goes to war with China there will be plenty of room to fight it out in, and plenty of targets as long as the powder hangs out. From the Baltimore American. In no other respect has China been so diligently getting into occidental traiuing as in the matter of military organization. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. So long as Russia confines itself to diplomacy the heathen China can continue, with a smile that is childlike and bland, to meet bluff with procrastination. From the Pittsburg Gazette. "Wars and rumors of wars" Is the way the prophecy reads, and we are certainly getting our fill of the rumors. From Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. Stricken with plague, famine "and other ills, China's concession of the Russian demand is not surprising. From the Atlanta Constitution. Russia should feel ashamed to advance upon starving China. From the New York Tribune. The reported yielding of China to the demands of Russia probably removes the not very serious menace of war which has existed in Mongolia and Manchuria. From New Orleans Times-Democrat. In addition to the plague' and the famine, China seems to be suffering also from Russian ultimatimltis.

i-t.-li-pj Ccth. "I haven't seen your cashier for several days past." "No; he's gone out of town." "Ah! Gone for a rest, eh?" "We haven't found out yet whether he's gone for a rest or to escape It." Exchange.

TAKE A REST. If women would take a few minutes' rest every once in a while during the day they could get lots more work done. It's the constant strain that makes a woman tired before the day is over. Maybe you think you can't take time to rest if you will use Hewitt's Easy Task soap in the kitchen and laundry you'll have plenty of time. It does half the work itself and doesn't eat into the clothes like many common soaps do. Just say Easy Task to your grocer he'll know.

RIVERS OF ALASKA.

Tb Wstarway Wonders of This lm mensa Territory. Were the rivers not navigable there would be little done in the interior of Alaska today. First used by the prospector in his poling boat and the trader with his little steamer, they have become the means of opening up every caiup that has been struck in the interior of Alaska. Tho Yukon is very shallow at Its mouth, which is about seventy miles In width across its delta. There are places 400 miles from the mouth of the river where the biggest Atlantic liners could navigate with ease, for there are soundings which show a ninety foot channel in a mile wide river. The Yukon is navigable for 2.100 miles. The Kuskoquira, a sister stream, has been navigated only ou the lower reaches, but with its navigable branches Is believed to have 1,000 miles of navigable water. The Tanana has

been ascended for 500 miles and the i

Koyukuk in excess of that figure. Sc ores of other streams can be used by small steamers for from twenty-five to 200 miles. Altogether it is safe to say there are 5.000 miles of navigable streams in Alaska. The Yukon opens for navigation the latter part of May and closes the latter part of October. But with all its wealth of gold, its unheard call to toilers of the soil, its mountains studded witb gems of riches the lodes of veins of copper and other materials this empire starves for the one thing that would make it thrive. Collier's.

The Name Noah. Not many persons are sufficiently acquainted with the Bible to know that Noah was the name of a woman as well as of the patriarch. At an inquest in England a female witness gave her Christian name as "Noah." The coroner remarked that be bad never before known a woman to bear the name, whereupon the witness, who was well posted in the origin of her singular prenomen, said: MIt is a Bible name, sir; you'll find It In the last chapter of the book of Numbers." Reference was duly made, and in the eleventh verse of the thirty-sixth chapter the coroner found mention made of "Mahlah. Tirzab and Hoglah and Milcab and Noah, the daughters of Zelophehad."

ORATIDH OH PEACE Delivered at Earlham by Hugh Jenkins Today.

This morning in the college chapel the Earlham student body listened to the oration of its representative in the state Peace Contest. Every year the Inter-collegiate Peace association of the state of Indiana holds an oratorical contest to determine the state representative to the inter-state contest. His year's tate oratorical contest wiH be held next Friday night. April Tth, at Notre Dame university, South Bend. Hugh Jenkins, the Earlham orator, was roundly applauded by his fellow students this morning, for what they believe to be one of the best peace orations that was ever delivered before the student body of the college. Mr. Jenkins has chosen for his subject "Peace Hy Law" and his clear thinking and forceful argument, combined with a great degree of oratorical power puts his ideas in the minds ot" his audience in a remarkable manner. 1-ist year there were nine Indiana colleges represented in the contest, and Prof. K. P. Trueblood reports that the full quota will be represented this year by callable men. This means that for Earlham to repeat her many vic

tories In this contest this year, she must meet and defeat strong repre

sentatives from Purdue, De Pauw, Wabash, Notre Dame, Hanover, Franklin, Goshen and others. A new syetem is to be used tbis year, whereby the thought and composition of the oration will be judged at the time of delivery, and manuscripts are not required to be handed in previous to the event. Earlham students arc confident that Mr. Jenkins will be successful in carrying off the honors of the annual event, and that Earlham will have the privilege of representing the state of Indiana in competition with her sister states in the Inter-state Peace Contest to be held later in the spring.
