The Diplomatic Way

Now that Wayne County has had its 'compromlse" refused In the T. H. I & E. matter we suppose that those in the community who favored the voluntary present of $1,500 worth of grading and the abandonment of six feet of highway to the traction company will be the loudest in urging the county to force its rights" in the matter in a mandamus suit. The indignity of having a "compromise" (which gave up all the points of controversy) refused though it was offered on a silver platter Is so embarrassing that we suppose that there is going to be considerable bravery displayed. A mandamus suit will bo pushed. This no doubt will be agreeable to all concerned. The traction company wants it. The board of county commissioners wants it (all other means of settlement having been exhausted). We venture to say that the majority of the people of Wayne county want the suit pushed.

If tho county were a public service corporation do you know what would be done now? If it were a question of track laying instead of a question of tearing tip the track the corporation would have had the track laid two or three times over by now. A little bit of traction company fed on water would have had the . track down and double spiked. But the county will have to wait. Is It any wonder that the shrewd politicians of the bi-partisan machine stick their tongues in their cheeks when any one mentions everyday citizens? It is amazing what they will stand for. 1 The next thing we may expect is that while the traction dispute is being settled there will be a considerable number of the highest order of citizenship that will be assailing the board of county commissioners as responsible for the torn up condition of the road. It will be the privilege and perhaps the duty of the Palladium to assure all such persons that the commissioners "exhausted every possible effort" to secure a compromise. It is true that they left one thing undone. They have not as yet vacated the road to the T. H., I. & E. That we take it is what the traction company wants. What else or what more does any one expect them to want? They have already refused the historic "compromise." They have violated the understanding that they had with the county viewers on which the contract to Improve the road was based. In all this the board of county commissioners has been calm and maintained a state of masterful inaction. The placidity of the summer is before us the siesta invites. .Perhaps the proper thing for the county commissioners to do is to make one last and final effort to placate the benevolent McGowans. The citizens' of Brightwood, a suburb of Indianapolis, after nine years of effort to get a five block extension gave a chicken dinner to the officials of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal company. The McGowans were present. The commissioners might try that the chickens being furnished by the McGowans on their way over in their private car. The chickens to be served on the silver platter on which the late "compromise" was offered. That might bo the diplomatic w ay out.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

REST AMD RELAX. Alone! -Do you know there are a lot of people who pronounce that word with fear? To be alone, if only for a abort time, la regarded aa a bore. It not worse, lou wonder why? Because they hare never become acquainted with themselves and do not know bow to entertain themselves for a single hour. They really need to be Introduced to themselves. Solitude? There is need of it. Tbe mere friction of mingling with other persons becomes wearing, however little one may realize it. And there can be no real culture of self except there be occasional solitude. Watch the faces on tbe street. See the set expression, the lines of solicitude and weariness, the worn looks. How seldom you see a calm and happy face! I saw one placid face the other day. It was tbe face of a woman I know. And I know tbe cause of her calmness and poise. She is a woman with a good sized family and many. cares, bnt she Is careful to take a certain hour to be alone for a short time each day. when she lies down for rest and relaxation. ' Husband and children know and respect her moments of quiet withdrawaL They know she is the sweeter and better wife and mother because of that stated rest of mind and body. Another instance: A Chicago business man of very large affairs lunches alone not because be is stingy, but becanse he finds strength in a quiet moment by himself. His associates understand and do not disturb him. And another: A Des Moines lawyer in active practice at eighty yeare says tbe secret of bis vitality is in a five minutes' nap be has taken in the middle of the day for the past fifty years. Practice being alone. Under the strain and tax of household duties the delicate, nervous system of women especially becomes over wrought. Rest and relaxation come as a benediction to the tired spirit. Alone you can think your best thoughts and work out your special problems. All great men and women have cultivated solitude. .Alone they have gained victories over self and have then been able to face a frowning world with cheerful effort.

A TART REPLY IS GIVEH CAMPF1ELD

Water Works Company Answers His Explanation of His Franchise Bid.

WEW JERSEY TEA. Red Root. That Did Good Servlc In

Revolutionary Days. You housekeepers of today whose favorite brands of Orange Pekoe, English Breakfast, India and Ceylon, etc., diffuse their fragrance over your tea table would hardly suppose that tea. or, rather, a fairly good substitute for It, was once made from the leaves of one of our prettiest New Jersey wild flowers. Yet so It was In the old turbulent days of the American Revolution, when they had so much trouble over . the imported article and used various beverages as substitutes for that to which they had become accustomed. New Jersey tea, or red root, aa It Is also called. Is a low growing shrub with many branches, seldom over three feet high, and la found from Canada to Florida, growing usually in dry wooded sections. It Is very abundant In New Jersey, for which It Is named. It blooms profusely In July and Is ao showy, with Its many panIcled whit blossoms, as to be quite worth a plac In tbe ftarden as an ornamental shrub. It has a dark red root, with leaves downy beneath and very much veined, by which It Is easily distinguished from the pure tea. An Infusion of the leaves prepared In the same manner as the genuine article has somewhat the taste of ordinary grades of tha tea of tbe orient, but is not supposed to possess any of its stimulating properties.

In regard to the explanation of E. M. Campfield regarding his waterworks bid. Howard A. Dill, superin

tendent of the Richmond Waterworks company, which wants to renew its

franchise, makes reply. In sum and substance he askes Mr. Campfield not

to digress in his explanation of his bid from the meaning of the bid itself.

Mr. Dill in answer to Mr. Campfield,

says:

"To the Palladium: "In your columns of the 16th we note a claim of Mr. Campield that he was misrepresented in our statement

of the 15th regarding the annual pay

ment by the city of $31,000 under his proposition. "If the misstatement was made, we are very glad to recall same, as we have no desire to place Mr. Campfield in a false position. We quote from his proposal. 'There shall be issued upon said plant for its construction, purchase and equipment $775,000 of 5 per cent semi-annual interest coupon gold bonds $31,000 of which shall be due and payable each and every year after the date of their issue for twentyfive years at the end of each and every year from the date of issue of said bonds. $31,000 par value of said

common stock, at par shall apply in the payment of the maturing $31000 of bonds and which bonds when so taken up and cancelled shall be delivered with $31,000 par value of said common stock to said city until said common stock and bond are exhausted. After said common stock is thus exhausted, the last payment amounting to $150,000 shall entitle the city to the remaining $150,000 of preferred stock &c.' Again quoting, 'During all the time of this contract said city as the holder of said $50,000 of preferred' stock shall be entitled to one-fourth of the profits of said company. What the City Gets. "We have failed to find in Mr. Campfield's proposal any statement that will entitle the city to $6,000 of preferred stock each year. Granted that such was the intent, would the city receive any profits from the annual payment of $6,000? It is conceded that it would not on the annual payment of $25,000. If Mr. Campfield means that $6,000 of preferred stock is to be given to the city each year, his proposition does not so state, and as quoted above, it distinctly states that the city is to receive only one-fourth of the profits during the contract period, as holder of . $50,000 preferred

stock to be purchased by the city

i when such contract is entered into. He .

runner states mat ine city can purchase the $150,000 preferred stock.

How and at what price? His state

ment would imply that the question

of selling this stock was optional with

the stockholders, and if they declined

to sell at the time and the price desired by the city, the latter could not acquire the plant before the end of twenty-five years. - In your article of the 16th, Mr. Campield, if correctly quoted, says 'When the city pays for the common stock ($625,000), the preferred stock is cancelled and must be sold by the stockholders to the city at par. This is at the expiration of twenty-five years "We wish to correct a statement of Mr. Campfield, that under our proposition the city could not acquire the plant unless our stockholders were willing to sell their stock. We quote from our proposal. 'Said city shall have the right at any time to purchase the plant and system of said water works, upon giving at least six months notice in writing of its intention so to do.' Under this clause the plant can be bought at any time regardless of the wishes of the stockholders to sell and this can be done by having a valuation made of the plant, the city paying to the company the amount of said valuation, less any stock it (the city) may own, and by assuming the bonded indebtedness. Thus it will be seen that the city has the same right of purchase under our proposition as it now possesses under the existing contract. The stockholders have no voice in the matter.

Bulwer Lytton and His Chorus. The Princess von Racowltsa met Bulwer Lytton In the Riviera toward the end of the fifties. He was then, she says In her autobiography, "past bis first youth; his fame was at its zenith. Be seemed to me antediluvian, with his long dyed curls and his old fashioned dress. He dressed exactly in tbe fashion of the twenties, with long coats reaching to tbe ankles, knee breeches and long colored waistcoats. Also he appeared always with a young lady who adored him and who was followed by a manservant carrying a harp. She sat at his feet and appeared, as be did, in the costume of 1830, wltn long flowing curls, called Anglaises. He read aloud from his own works, and in especially poetic passages his 'Alice accompanied him with arpeggios on the harp.'

A Tre Climbing Dog. A government official in Bavaria connected with tbe forestry department has a wonderful dog. which Is as clever at climbing trees as a cat. If his master fastens a handkerchief up In the treetops the animal will clamber up after It In the nimblest way and never falls to bring It down. He was taught by bis mother, who was famous as a tree climber. The clever animal has won several medals by his extraordinary talent and takes partionlar delight in climbing silver birches, not the easiest tree in the world to scale, for the trunk Is particularly smooth and slippery.
