When Convenient
Senators Root sod Heyburn bare now taken it into tbelr beads to do another "reading out of the party" stunt. Last Thursday the Tory Republican element of the senate tried to put one over by caucusing. Some . of the Insurgents went some did not. La Follette, Clapp, Bristow. Gronna and Poindexter remained away from the caucus and refused to vote for GalUnger voting for Clapp. It was not long ago that insurgent senators asked that they be represented on the committees in proportion to their strength. They were lg- . nored on the ground that they were simply members of the Republican party. However, when these men refused to vote for Gallinger and voted ' for Clapp one of their number up jumped Root and Heyburn to read them out of the party. All of which goes to prove that "the dear party" like the "dear people" mean something to the standpatters only when convenient ' '
Progressive Citizenship
The Reverend Mr. Lightbourne is on the right track if his remarks before the students of Earlham last week have been correctly reported. The astonishing theory was developed that it is time for the young men and women to get into the game to be not "good citzens," but "efficient" citizens. There Is a considerable difference between the man who merely draws up resolutions and the man who really does something. Mr. Lightbourne developed an Idea that we have heard before namely that it was time that the American people concern themselves with the sortof men that they elect to office. It is by no means with the Idea of taking Issue with the sentiments of Mr. Li ight bourne that we suggest there is a more fundamental thing than the election of officials and that a constant Interest in what they do.

This town Is probably better administered than most towns in the country. The men who are elected to office here are the sort of men the people want. Of this we may be sure. There is absolutely no reason why (even with the disadvantage of a somewhat complicated form of government) if the citizens of this community want certain men elected to office that they cannot have thent. Ward meetings and party caucuses are not so occult in their workings that they cannot be made to work. If everyday men only knew or cared how things go and how they may be changed they would be considerably changed. The only thing we can assume is that they are perfectly satisfied.
TIMBER JO TOMB China Orders Big Trees From Oregon Man.
(Palladium Special) Portland, Ore., May 13. Probably as unique an order for giant timbers since great eedars were cut in Lebanon for Solomon's Temple has just been filled by W. V. Payne, a Portland man. who is stationed in Manila as manager of a lumber company there. His firm was asked to supply 52 great hardwood logs, measuring 4S feet in length and having a top measurement of 40 inches in diameter. A large number of other sticks of unusual sizes were required. The timbers are for the great tomb to be erected by the Manchu dynasty of China for the late emperor, Kwang Hsu, and the Empress Dowager. The Chinese builders declare this will by a remarkable edifice that will hold its
place among the rare old piles that
adorn China.
Mr. Payne, who is visiting hjs home
in Portland, said the matter of fill
ing the order was a serious problem,
for hardwood of the dimensions want
ed was not easily found, even in Philippine forests. But he went with his cruisers into the interior and succeed
ed in finding the number of hardwood giants required, getting all of one species and as symmetrical as though they had been grown to order. Oregon fir has been used extensively In China to build temples erected to the various gods of the country, a shipment last year ofemammoth logs going to rebuild one of the most famous shrines in all China. Hardwood trees of greater size, however, grow in the tropics than here, where the forests are made up for the most part of giant conifers.
1NCUBA TOR MOTHERS THOUGHTS FROM "CHANTECLER"
" Yet Richmond and Wayne county are the center of progressive ideas and progressive men more so than any other part of the state. The election last fall proved that men knew their own minds and . knew how to express themselves. . The next thing we shall see la men taking interest in the material that they have to work with. In getting into the primaries and seeing that there is at least one well qualiled and efficient man for very place on the ticket.
" It is a long way until the next legislature perhaps, but there is going to be a fight which will be tenser than any yet. The last legislature proved that there is a bi-partisan machine in this state Inimical to the people's interest which needs to be stamped out. Before Indiana can take rank as a progressive state, or in other words before the laws of this state can be changed Into laws for the people and not for small numbers of greedy men the people will not only have ,to send honest men to the legislature but efficient men.
i : , . The machinery of the law and the machinery of the governing power of the state and cities is not framed at the present time for the people. . ' ' ; . Oregon has the process of self-government or government by the people the power of the people to vote on the laws that they are to abide 6y to remove such men as refuse to do their bidding,

' And until the people of Indiana have those powers the atate will not be run in their interest.. . - . ' How can this be done? By beginning to work now. By. taking an interest in the question of franchises; by getting busy when such a situa-, tlon as the present interurban question arises. By working with the officials that we have now. By learning what the most efficient ways of doing things are from street paving to government by commission and then going to it.

VICTORY JOR POKER Won by a Decision of a Texan Jurist.
San Antonio, Tex., May 13. -Texas
has a number of laws relative to card playing that have attracted wide at
tention. One of these makes it an of
fense to play cards on a train. The state also has some stringent laws against gambling. Joe Purvis, from Tarrant county, thought that the law
prohibited one from playing cards in one's own home and, for the amusement of it, betting on a game. This
case was carried into the courts and thence to the court of criminal ap
peals. Here Presiding Judge Davidson established some new criminal law by holding that the mere fact that
cards were played in the residence for
money does not constitute a violation,
The sanctity of the home must first
be destroyed and such a place become a resort constantly for gaming before
such a violation exists. So ' under
Judge Davidson's ruling "penny ante'
and a "ten cent limit" in private
homes are no longer offenses.-
Chantecler: "Let them come under my wing; their mother was an Incubator." From Rostand's Famous Play. How many children are there in New York today whose mothers were incubators? We meet them every day, both the chickens and the incubators. Take your position with me near any public school. You can easily differentiate between the brooder chicks ' and those sheltered In a good, old-fashioned nest. Notice this bevy of girls from twelve to fifteen years of age; observe the complacent women-of-the-world air with which they pass a crowd of boys. These girls are absolutely self-confident; their hair is dressed in the latest fashion, their boots have French heels, their hats are so large you wonder how they can stagger along under them.' They preen and ogle and strut and you cannot help seeing that they are physically overdeveloped for their age. Unrestricted reading of all sorts of literature, attendance at cheap theaters and contact with the abnormal life in a large city have prematurely developed the sacred strength of womanhood into a wild, devil-may-care desire for masculine praise and company. Who does not know the sickening fate of many of these young girls? They have never known the gentle, firm restraint of a real mother love; they have at this early age become seekers of excitement; they dream of joy rides, elopements, footlights, beautiful clinging gowns and gems that sparkle and gleam on bare shoulders. What do these little maidens know of self-control; of that great blessing called "work;" of sacrifice, of responsibility or of the sacredness of life? , Nothing. "Their mother was an incubator." Mother was half the age of father. She married him just to have her chick dreams of social position, wealth and the relief from struggle for existence. These have gradually deteriorated to flirtations, joy rides, whisky and cigarettes. There was no time to devote to baby, and she was left to the yare of hired servants or to grow up as best she might. The tiny bud of human life expanded in ait unnatural atmosphere. The little clinging tendrils of its sensibilities reached out and fastened themselves tightly to the false Ideas of life and the laws of nature were formed, and the imitative tendency of the child soon taught the young mind the fascination of excitement, of vanity and passion. And thus Chantecler, the great spirit of progress, protector of humanity, must take them under his wing when the shadow of the "Great Hawk" passes; and we hear the excuse ringing from the golden throat: "Their mother was an incubator." By Ada M. Passover.
