Why Not in Indiana? The Indianapolis News wants "a second and real Investigation into the Loiimer election." "The real question Is," continues the News, "not whether corrupt methods were used to elect Lorimer, but who used them and In whose behalf." The senate, saya the News owes it to itself to "get at the real truth of the Lorimer business." The senate "can not permit the interests to invade the states for the purpose of controlling the election of members of its body." The News seems to be powerfully concerned about the corrupt practices of the "interests" in the state of Illinois. But to the news the corrupt practices of tho interests in its own state of Indiana are a matter of no importance, especially when the News is playing the game of those interests against the welfare of the people of this state. It was Senator John W. Kern who deliberately uttered the tharge.and gavfe it out for publication sixteen months ago, that a corrupt special interest which he specifically named, viz., the brewery combine, bought eight votes of members of the Indiana legislature and thereby procured the election of Senator Shively, who still holds his 6eat unchallenged by his colleagues and uncriticlzed by the Indianapolis. News. It is as if Senator Cullora had published to the world on his own account the charges against Lorimer and alleged that to his own knowledge votes or members of the Illinois legislature had been bought. Why is the News silent in the face of this situation? Evidently, in view of its attitude on the Lorimer case, because it fears the result of such an Inquiry and because it is specially interested in the special interest Senator Kern says bought the votes that elected Shively. Every one in Indiana knows that the sudden and complete surrender of the News to that same interest about that same time resulted In tho brewery combine being able not only to purchase a seat in the United States senate, but to procure the reieal of a law that restricted the activities of the liquor trust in Indiana. Illinois may hure been disgraced, but at least her great newspapers are crying out against the infamy. Indiana has even more evidently been disgraced but the same influences that bought the scat for Senator Shively have been able to arrange silence in respect to the crime by a newspaper which actually has the gall to call on congress to get at "the real truth of the Lorimer business," because the senate can not permit tho interests to buy seats in the senate anywhere except directly under the nose of the Indianapolis News.

Milton, Ind.. April S.

Editor Richmond Palladium:

I want to call your attention to an

article in the Saturday evening issue

of your paper relative to the census enumeration in the town of Milton.

The article states that the enumer

ation figures show only 601 for the

population of Milton corporation, and

further states that the people are disappointed with the results of the enu

meration and cannot account for the loss of SI in the last ten years in any

other way than that enumeration was

taken in a haphazard way.

A I was enumerator for this enum

eration district and the town of Milton included. I wish to make the statement that the work was done thoroughly and in compliance with the

laws governing the same, and every

citizen w ho had a legal right to be en

umerated by me has his name on the

census report. While I realize it to

be a haphazard statement, I wish it to be corrected. Yours very truly,'

K. W. Doty.

RATS GIVEN BLAME

FOR A SMALL FIRE

(Palladium Special) Centervllle. Ind.. April 11. The

property on West Main street, belonging to Elmer McConaba of Richmond, was discovered on fire about 5 o'clock Monday morning. Much emote, but

little blaze did a small amount of damage. The volunteer fire depart

ment noon extinguished the fire,

which broke out between the walls

near the chimney and it is thought

that rats either carried matches to

the place and the heat Ignited them.

or that they were set off by the rats gnawing them.

THE NEED OF A WHIPPING POST.

At last e have learned what this

town needs. It is a whipping post.

The honor of the discovery belongs to

the mayor of the city. Many citizens have plodded along supposing that we

need some other things, and hoped that an awakened sense of human feeling would bring them, but they were mistaken in their ignorance. It

mayor to put his finger upon the real

need of the community.

When the mayor has gone to the

legislature and procured a law establishing the public whipping iost then

we should have an exhibition of its workings and its humanizing and cur

ative influence.

The first patient will be the "habitual drunkard." Happily we have over a hundred well known "booze fighters" to choose from. The harvest is ready for the whipping post. The "boozefighters" will no doubt crowd around eager to be cured of drunkenness by the lash. They will come as suffering patients to be healed of their hellish pains and gnawing vitals. The back must be laid bare and the whiskeysoaked flesh exposed to the knout's blows. "But who will be the brute to do the flogging? Will the mayor do that? Will any policeman? Will the

sheriff? After the brute-flogger has been chosen then in the eyes of witnesses he will cut and score like a flanked steak the flesh of the drunkard. The blood will flow, the victim will moan in pain, he will faint, and all is over. The majesty of the law has been vindicated and the city puri led. Drunkenness haa been stamped out forever! Of course no country now uses the whipping post but Russia, but we had better be thoroughly Russianized than to suffer these "booze fighters" to go

on as they do. Whiy, it is a scandal to see these shivering whiskey-thirsty wretches standing around with wild eyes, wondering where they can get a dime to satisfy their awful craving. Of course they ought to be whipped,

the common scarecrows, the penniless ragged dogs! What business has a man to live after he becomes so weak that 'he can no" longer resist an appetite for booze? Of course history shows that all diseases and degeneracy can be cured by severe punishments. They used to cut off the drunkard's ears, slit his nose and brand a bottle on his forehead. Of course this cured drunkenness, absolutely wiped it out. The real truth is that it made more and brutalized the community. Mayor Zimmerman advocates the lash and Russian knout for habitual drunkards. Au habitual drunkard is one who is in the last stages of alcoholic saturation, a drowning man with no straw in sight to grasp. Why not pull a drowning man from the water and whip him to death? Why not take tho habitual invalids and chronic diseased and whip them? The state has no more right to commit brutal assault

and battery on a drunkard than a doc

tor has ujon a patient. That eminent criminologist, Lombroso, said, "habitual drunkards can

only be fairly dealth with when they

are recognized as diseased persons.

The Bitters is a boon to those in convalescence when a tonic and strength maker is needed. Try it and see. A word to the wise is sufficient.

The call for scientific and rational treatment- of alcoholic victims is the cry of the age. Whoever advocates the flogging of these diseased creatures is inspired with a relic of savagery." Of course these are the words of only a man who has a world wide reputation as a student of criminals and jails Lombroso of Italy, the greatest authority on criminology in the world. Not for one minute would we think of putting him up against the opinion of the Mayor of Richmond whose decrees are final.
