Information For

After such arousal, it ia alleged. The Item's- eastern advertising representative charged that the Palladium had fewer subscribers than It claimed and made free distribution to pull up its circulation and that this charge was made "with the knowledge and consent of the publishers of The Item that is Mr. Foulke." Now this statement is made ABSOLX'TKLY OUT OF WHOLK CLOTH. Mr. Foulke, absent from Richmond, knew not oik; word nor syllable or the matter till he saw the charges blazoned on the Palladium's front page. He was highly incensed that any such controversy had arisen. Now Mr. Leeds knew that Mr. Foulke had no such knowledge for it was stated in the letter of March 17, published side by side with the editorial, but he prefers to take the statement of an unknown man that Ihe charge was made "with the knowledge and consent of the publishers of The lum," and then he adds gratuitiuosly and falsely out or his own device "That ia, Mr. Foulke." Item editorial, Friday. April 14, 1911. So Mr. Foulke repudiates the statement of M. C. Watson, his own representative in the eastern advertising field? Or does he repudiate the charge that he is publisher or the item, and thus st'ek to evade the moral responsibility or nuh tactics? Which? Kit her is despicable enough. To attempt to make a subordinate the scapegoat Tor the deeds of the company is typical or the methods which have prevailed for some flme at the Item oflice. Here is what M. C. Watson wrote to a prominent foreign advertising concern under date of March ?,, 1911: "You are running your advertising in Richmond, Indiana, but not in The Item. The publishers of the Item are aware of the claims made by the other paper, but they offer $300 in gold to anyone demonstrating that the Palladium has within 2,000 gross of whafthem claim." Who are the "publishers" of the Item? Who did gobble up the stock of that paper when the management was changed nearly two years ago? Do the tax assessments show any one controlling it besides Mr. Foulke? Perhaps he will come across and give us a list of (he stockholders and directors that we may know who Ihe "publishers" are, and include them in the list of those who are responsible for such tactics? Or does ho issue this denial in order to avoid payment of the $300 in event Ihe proposition made by the Item's representative is called? If he knew nothing of this and was "highly incensed' when he learned of it, whv did he not come out like a man and repudiate it in the first place, instead of giving it emphasis by asking the Palladium to sue for it? Why does he wait until ho begins to get in a corner and then act the baby by saying "I never did it!" Anyway, we now have Foulke's repudiation of the very thing upon which he lias staked his fight. Pardon us! Did we say "Foulke's" repudiation? We should say The Item's repudiation, for probably when the light gets hotter Foulke will deny he ever wrote the editorial. We may even learn in time that Foulke is myth thin air and hot. Certainly he is effervescence.

And the editorial shows peevishness over the Palladium's proposition to have a fair and thorough investigation of the circulation by a committee of local advertisers. The Palladium suggested, or nominated, three reputable advertisers and progressive business men for this committee representing three lines of retail trade. ' Here is Foulke's innuendo about them: "Your own committee, nominated by you. are to examine the books, documents, etc.. named by you within a period of time mentioned by you and the reports are to be published in the way you prescribe. The man that wants the fullest light of day that courts and juries can furnish is the one who can best be counted on to tell the truth. He does not set up committees at his own sweet will" The Palladium did not "set up" any committee. We nominated three men, of unquestioned integrity advertisers who use both papers. One of them wrote a letter to the Item within the past few days commending its business policy upon a certain matter which it published. Why does the Item say the committee was "set up," that it is "our" committee? Did we not propose if this committee was not agreeable to The Item that a committee be chosen after the fashion all committees of arbitration and reviewing are appointed? The Item's gratuitous slur at three advertisers is on a par with its repudiation of its own representative, and on a par with its emulation of Joab by circularizing the foreign advertising field with defamation of the Palladium and then (thinking it would not be found out), having set the lie a-racing, writes a smug inquiry, "Would it not be better to remain friends?"

Mr. Foulke utters a shriek about the Palladium's employing detectives to pry into other people's affairs. If the Palladium ever employed detectives they were for legitimate purposes, and they did not waste any time sleuthing Mr. Foulke. He need not flatter himself that he is that smooth. Neither did we ever employ detectives to "shadow" faithful employes of the Palladium. We have not lost all self-respect. "A representative of the Palladium boasted across the Item's own counter that they had a 'pipe-line' in our office," is another wail of Mr. Foulke's. If a representative of the Palladium made any such boast he was Ignorant. He should have said "pipe-lines" plural. And we still have them, and probably always will have them under the Item's present management. But they are not of our own laying. Neither have we availed ourselves of their information offered freely because of their opinion of the manner in which The Item ie now managed. It has been the Palladium's pleasure and honor to refuse to accept copies of all the mailing lists and other records offered it by an official of The Item Newspaper company. We are sorry The Item does not entertain the respect and loyalty of its force. But we are not to blame for that condition.

"We employed a man, as the Palladium says, to verify the claims of that paper, and his report convinced us that its additional circulation was of exactly the character afterwards testified to by Mr. Leeds himself when he said it would not pay for the white paper, the few minutes extra press run and power and the unnamed 'incidentals' " Item editorial, April 14. That Is exactly what his report showed. He was to be paid $70 for his work, but when he brought in the report that the Palladium's claims were correct, the representative of The Item who handles the detective bureau of that paper "blew up," and denounced the report as false and refused to pay the sum agreed because it did verify the Palladium's claims. Moreover, the Palladium has the statement of that very man, whom The Item hired after Investigating his reputation for truth and integrity, that he was told he would be paid the sum originally agreed upon if he would do two things First, break into the office of the Palladium and get Its circulation records; Second, follow the rural route mail carriers and take the Palladiums out of the rural route mail boxes, a violation of the federal iostuI laws. The man had more honor than the one who made the proposition thereby proving his recommendations were right and refused to commit these two offenses in order to get the money originally promised him. We presume Mr. Foulke, or whoever wrote the editorial of Friday, April 14, will be "greatly incensed" when he reads this interesting piece of information in the Palladium. I5ut if Mr. Foulke will spend a little time cleaning his own doorstep and reforming at home, he won't have so much time to devote to delivering troublelogues to the citizens of various municipalities. Moreover, he won't have to suffer the humiliation of admitting from time to time from now on. that he does not know what the "publishers" of The Item are doing, and be compelled to repudiate their actions.

We pause for reply. "Hegin nothing nf which thou Quotation in Item editorial. March

hast not well considered the end." 2S, 1911.

This child's recovery was due to the combined action of the medicinal elements of the cods' livers. aided by the blood making and strength creating properties of tonic iron, which are contained in Vinol, and the strongest evidence that Vinol will build up and strengthen delicate children, old people, and the weak, run-down and debilitated, is our willingness to return tne purcnase monev in everv case where it fails to give complete satis faction.

This piaiu tale of the generous doings of Richard Suell is an uuusual happening. Doubtless you have read something of the strange career of Colonel ifnell, the eccentric Illinois millionaire. lMek Snell was his only sou. The others had died, and his father called Dick the black sheep of the family. He thus wrote it down iu bis will by which Suell cut off his son with the proverbial shilling. Young Snel! broke his father's will and after much litigation was awarded $7o0,0 o. And thouDick absolutely refused to nccept more than $30O,OO0. The tit her $450,000 he said he wanted to divide with the widow of his brother aud her three boys, all of whom were barely provided for in the terms of the will. To the widow was left $1,(mm a year during her lifetime. That did not suit young Snell's conceptions of equity. Therefore he called his sister-in-law and her boys to the lawyer's office and with a map of Colonel Snell's farms before him indicated what real estate he wanted set over to them. The widow refused at first to share the son's patrimony. At a second meeting, however, it was finally arranged and the $4oO,000 worth of the estate was deeded. This left Dick Snell with only $.'i0,000 when he might have had $7."0,nOO. It was magnanimous. Aud it stamps Dick Snell as n high minded man wittt an unusual sense of justice. He refused to consider his action as In any way extraordinary, remarking simply when pressed for an explanation: "Why, that leaves me more than I need." Which is doubtless true, but In these money grabbing days, when the newspapers are filled with nau seous stories of sordid heirs who fight one another in court for money they do not need, the young man's action is withal heroic Black sheep? Dick Snell needs no whitewash to prove him an unusually white sheep. "LOVE'S YOUNG DREAM." Married life is a veiled secret to those who first enter into this sacred condition. Courtship is a dream of biiss. but when the realities of niarriafie come and an increasing household, is recorded by the years, economies of time, labor and money become necessary. The cheerful, smiling bride should not become a drudge and she need not. Cleaning up of laundry work, dishes, woodwork, kitchen utensils and all the other necessary forms of washing can be made easy with Hewitt's Kasy Task Soap, which costs no more than the cheap kind five cents for a liberal cake pure white.

GOOD AND EVIL. The best gifts, those that we should covet above ail others if we understood their value, are not those which may or may not chance to come to us, but those which must inevitably follow us when we are good and true, faithful and wise. The worst calamities are not those which may come upon us unawares, but those which follow from conscious wrongdoing.
