The Palladium heartily agrees with the Item that a newspaper fight is not of vital Interest to the multitude. No fight is of material consequence to any ono but the combatants. War is deplorable in any event. But fights are necessary (sometimes and this appears to be one of the times. The Palladium avoided entrance into the quarrel until it resolved Itself into a question or our business integrity and the man who will not fight to preserve his honor is not worthy of the name. We regret the tight was forced upon us, not only once, but twice and yet again. Forbearance ceased to be a virtue. Our reluctance to get Into the fray was advertised as evidence of our Inability to aght and cited as proof of the charges placed against .us. It was not the Palladium that sent out letters denouncing the Item as a disreputable business concern. It was the Item that pursued the tactics of the bushwhacker. Copperheads, they were called fifty years ago. We presume our peace-loving competitor thought wo would stand for that sort of thing indefinitely. And we presume that he thought it was a shrewd move upon his part, after he had done this, to send us a peace offering, and ask "Would It not bo better to remain friends?" It would be better for us to remain friends. Brother Foulke, but it is not better or safe for the Palladium to be the friend while the Item is the traitor. Such a union is abhorrent.

After the Palladium published the simple facts of the Item's guerrilla warfare and asked the Item to consent to an investigation of its circulation, in conjunction with us, we were disused to let the matter drop. But the "publishers" of the Item fulminated day after day. sawed the air and exhausted the dictionary at the expense of the Palladium. Not content with the discussion of circulation, the Item attempted another game that of discrediting the Palladium's work in every department. Being perfection itself, the Item was able quite naturally to pick flaws in the editorial and local columns of the Palladium. The super-man in his omniscience dissected the poor mortals. Policies of the Palladium quite apart from the circulation department were held up to ridicule. Enterprises quite apart from tho newspaper business, in which the owner of the Palladium has been or is now interested, were made the subject of whatever wit and satire the cosmopolitan editorial staff of the Item possesses. The productions of our local and editorial forces were reproduced in their weaknesses (for the Palladium Is not perfect) magniled in order that the Palladium might be laughed out of court. 1 All to what purpose? Foulke says: "Would it not be better to remain friends?" We presume that is his method of showing friendship. Judging from a number of facts in our possession we admit that in this method of showing friendship he is a past master, and we would in nowise attempt to compete with him.
EASTER DANCE OF CLUB BIG SUCCESS
Yet the Palladium behaved itself fairly well under the provocation. Waiting until Mr. Foulke had calmed down and had time for sober second thought the Palladium sent him a letter, not for publication, nor containing an intimation of publicity, suggesting that the two papers have a committee of local advertisers investigate the circulation of both papers and outlining what we thought would be a fair manner of investigation. Wo asked for a reply within a reasonable date. We did not demand the details be exactly as we had outlined. Mr. Foulke's reply could have suggested changes and they would have been given consideration, as fair and business-like consideration as we knew. After mailing the letter the Palladium learned Mr. Foulke was out of the city, and we immediately sent tho following letter to the gentleman who represents Mr. Foulke in Foulke's absence from the city: "Dear Sir: On April Tth we mailed a communication to Mr. Foulke. president of the Item Newspaper Company, requesting an answer on or before April 11th. Since mailing the letter we have learned that Mr. Foulke is out of the city and will not return until after the date named. In order that Mr. Foulke may act In the matter we will waive an immediate reply and request that the letter be called to his attention and a reply made as soon as possible after his arrival in the city. Respectfully, The reply we received from Mr. Foulke was delivered to the Palladium by messenger one afternoon, and within two hours the Item was on the street with our letter to Mr. Foulke and Mr. Foulke's reply occupying two columns on the editorial page.
To what purpose was this done? For the purpose of avoiding a newspaper war? For the purpose of sparing the public? For the purpose that the papers might remain friends? Did this show any overwhelming desire upon tho part of Foulke to keep the peace? And did the letter with its eneer and evasions, give evidence of fair play? It was tho third challenge of the Item to the Palladium for us to enter Into a quarrel or be branded as a paper with neither honor nor courage. And so we accepted the challenge. How goes the fight since we have used a little grape and canister and driven the "publishers" of the Item out from the bushes into the open? First: The Item has had to back up on its $500 offer. Repudiates the foreign representative who made it, and admits that it was made without Foulke's knowledge and that he was "highly incensed" when he heard of It. But It took some grape-shot to force them into this admission. It was not made because of a contrite heart. Second: The Item has beeu forced to admit that it employed a man to verify the Palladium's circulation, and that he found the Palladium had what it claimed. Third: It has maintained a discreet silence about its "dummy" mailing lists and starting its press counters at 1,000. Fourth: When directly charged with having tried to get a man to break into the Palladium office and take our circulation books and also to follow the rural route carriers and take the Palladiums from the boxes of our subscribers, it enters the defense that the charge is "a wicked diatribe" whatever that is. However, the Palladium has the sworn statement of the man made In the presence of witnesses substantiating its charges. And the man's veracity is proved by the fact he was trustworthy enough for the Item to employ.

Pretty good scrap up to date. we. say. From the groggy defense put up by the Item last night we would say that Mr. Foulke is not as hungry for a fight as he once was. We notice more of a disposition to hang on to the ropes and play for the sympathy of the audience. Also mumbles under his breath about "an unworthy quarrel" and in his somewhat dazed condition asks what it is all about? It should be all about circulation, brother, if you want to keep to the text. We again offer you the proposition to have a committee of advertisers to investigate the circulation of the two papers along the suggestions we made. Do you want to accept it? Are you really tired of the fight? We know you talk boldly about "an abundant supply of cartridges in our belt" but we also know that you have discovered they are center-fire w hile you are using an old-fashioned rim-fire pistol w ith a broken hammer and a rusty barrel. And besides, a lot of your powder is wet. That talk sounds Just like the mental mcanderings of the "white man's hope" who insisted that he could "come back" after the crowd saw he was all in and were getting ready to catch the train. Have you had enough? Do you want to tell the truth about your circulation and have an investigation. If so, "say when." If not, freely apply the vinegar bottle, sponges and towels and get ready for the next round. Let's talk about circulation, if possible. But if you want to drop that and talk about a lot of other things of a more personal character "You may fire, when ready, Dudley!"

amount of money ever placed in a collection plate in a Brooklyn church
was that received in St. Paul s Protestant Episcopal church when a certified check for $1(mi,(hi0 was contributed. The t-heek was given along with a large quantity of silver, gold and greenbacks to the aggregate of $100,
Announcement of the gift of the $10t',("t)0 certified check was made by
Ilev. Andrew Wilson. He said the check was an endowment and for the present, at least the doner asked that his name be withheld. Hr. Wilson's announcement of the gift was followed by applause by the congregation, which contains some of the wealthiest residents in Brooklyn. Recently Father Walter Frere, the .superior of the Community of Resurrectionists in England, has been holding a mission at the church. He came
from England for that purpose at the request of Dr. Wilson. Many in the audience believed that the $100,000 check probably was due to the eloquence of Father Frere, who has talked to the men of the congregation for the past several weeks.

Jaiesville Com Planters 1
Machines That Come Nighty Near Thinking
1
Mr. Farmer: If you never saw a Janesville No 5 Corn Planter in action, you've to witness one of the most wonderful tools that human ingenuity ever devised to help the farmer secure better results. , It does what no other planter today can do drops 2, or 4 kernels to the hill, just aa the Boil appears to call for it. Think what this one exclusive Janesville feature means in the way of a more even growth aud bettor crops. . And this quick change from 2 io 3 or 4 kernels is made simply by touching a small hand lever without stopping the machine, without leaving your seat or changing the plate. And besides this, it will do all that any other planter will do. It will hill or drill. It is furnished with convert able drop, (edge or flat). Three plates for checking and 18 variations providing for every possible condition of seed and soil. And there are other features in the Janesville choice of shoe, stub, or disk runners on the same machine; automatic distribution of the wire on reel whil winding up; fertilizer attachment, etc. Isn't this the corn planter you've been looking for. You can't afford not to Investigate this machine. THE VARIABLE DROP DEVICE This quick change of the number of kernels to the hill 2. 3, or 4 is eftected very simply by operating a small hand lever within easy reach, the operator Bets the clutch so as to turn the seed shaft one-sixth, one-fourth or one-third of a revolution, giving 2, '!, or 4 kernels to the hill. This last great improvement in Janesville Corn Flanters ensures greater' uniformity of crops, besides economy in seeds, because it provides absolute control of distribution according to the character of the soil. Of course, greater uniformity means a larger yield per acre. Unlike most of the machines that are now being offered to the trade, flic Variable Drop device on the Janesville Corn Planters is not an experiment. We are among the very first to develop anything of this kind and our device has been thoroughly tested and found practicable for two reasons. QUICK CHANGE FROM HILLING TO DRILLING Through our improved construction it ia possible for the operator to change from a hill to a drill drop without leaving his seat or even without stopping the team. We place a combined foot drop and drill drop attachment to the rocker shaft which enables the operator, by simply pressing this lever by the center, to lock the valves in the planter open and throw the clutch into gear so it will run continuously and, of course, drill. NO MIXING THE HILLS The valves on the Janesville Planter are so placed that there is no possibility of mixing the hiUs. The upper valve is located so close to the seed plate that it cannot get out of time, and the lower valve is so constructed that it can free itself readily from dirt or trash that may get into it. The valve movement ensures your being always in check whether you drive fast or slow, and the rows will be straight. The force feed takes care of the increased momentum in fast driving. THE JANESVILLE EDGE DROP PLATE Is so perfect in Construction as to permit of the planting of round kernels and to prevent their accumulating in the bottom of the seed can. In all other styles of edge drop planters these round kernels accumulate and interfere with the accuracy of the drop. In the Janesville by enlarging the opening where t.ie seed Is discharged from the plate, we enable the round kernels to lodge in the cells and when they come around to the opening, to drop through. In other edge drops they prevent the cells filling but cannot themselves pass through. FROM EDGE TO FLAT DROP Shelled corn bought for seed is usually high priced and the waste of even a kernel is naturally avoided. The sorting of it is a very difficult and tedious operation and the farmer frequently does not care to spend time on it. To meet these and other conditions, the Janesville Corn Planter may be used with a flat drop plate for unsolected seed. The kernels of corn are placed flatways in readiness to pass through the seed celks, and, as the plates are thin, usually one kernel is held at a time in a cell, and for unsorted or mixed corn a high degree of accuracy is obtained. Thus by a mere change of plates the Janesville Corn Planter is converted from an edge drop to a flat drop machine. You have in one machine two devices to meet varying conditions. The Janesville is virtuaKy two machines. ACCURATE CHECKING The bill drop is executed with the highest degree of accuracy. Uneven travel of the team has no effect in producing imperfect checking. Go slow, go fast it makes no difference, as it is an absolute impossibility, with our sliding plunger valves, to mix the hills or dribble the corn between them. REMOVE PLATES AT BOTTOM The seed cans are removable and the plates are put on or taken off at the bottom of them. This simple method of exchanging the plates does away with the necessity of emptying the seed cans. The cans also cannot be put on the machine out of time. This is a patented feature of our own. WIDTH ADJUSTABLE The regular planter is adjustable in width and will plant the rows from 3 feet 4 inches. 3 feet 6 inches to 3 feet S inches. However, on special orders we can make the planter any width between 3 feet and 4 feet. Every Planter Fully Guaranteed to Do Just What We Claim and to Give Satisfaction Jones Hardware C.
