Lying Down

Some recent criticism of the Board of County Commissioners are pretty disgusting. Every reader of the Palladium knows that the Board of County Commissioners tried to compromise with the T. H., I. & E. Traction company. What was there that the county could offer that it did not offer? There seems no better illustration of the means that the traction people, particularly the T. H, I. & E. have always aken to whip the people Into line than the present course of procedure. The traction company, like every other public service corporation knows that it can always find willing agents to present themselves in the cause of dissatisfaction. People do not like to have roads torn up. They do not like cessation of service. At the present time, what chance have the people? And why is it that they have no chance. It is simply because the people are instable they are forgetful they do not keep their eyes on Vie ball. And hence it comes that when the very hour arrives when the victory la over the hill they are In full retreat. As an illustration of this thing it was right here In Richmond with this same company that the same tactics were employed by the traction company and the traction company won. Whatever anyone's opinion may be about Thtnas J. Study we have yet to hear anyone say that he did not have the traction company where he wanted it. And It was because he was not backed up that Richmond did not win the whole of the fight. Again the present tracks In the Glen are due to the fact that this same fpirlt arose this time among powerful and Influential citizens and It must be said in all fairness that the traction company would never have gone through the Glen had not the city laid down. It may be interesting to see what this company has done elsewhere. The pyramidlcal processes of capitalization make the T. H., I. & E. and the Indianapolis Terminal and Traction company practically synonymous. For nine years the main body of the citizens of Indianapolis have been clamoring for a cross town line. The cross town line is promised in the very franchise itself. The moment the Board of Works of Indianapolia gives an order for a cross town line the Indianapolis Terminal and Traction company Is in danger of losing its franchise. But nine weary years have dragged away since the franchise was granted and still there Is no cross town line. For at every turn the traction company has been able to find ready protests from the people who lived on the route which furnished a sufficient excuse for every administration not to order it. And so Indianapolis has no cross town line.

We have the fullest sympathy with the people who have to use the National road during the settlement of this question. It is very hard to be put to the task of being the victim of a public service corporation's broken faith. But if this community ever expects to get decent treatment from the traction interests of this state how does It expect to do it? By lying down?

We criticized the Board of. County Commissioners for trying to compromise by giving away all the points of controversy. We made fun of the County Commissioners when that compromise was refused so that the real Intent of the traction Interests became plain they do not want anything approaching or ' approximating a compromise they want the whole thing undisputed. . But the last thing in the world that the County Commissioners can be accused of is of not trying every means at their command in compromising for a speedy settlement of the question. We should think that a situation like this would be a pretty good test as to whether the citizens of this community are going to show their mettle or not. ; Here Is a case which concerns not only Wayne township, but Wayne county here la a case which concerns not only Wayne county but every one of the ninety-two counties in the state. It Is a clear cut question of which is more powerful the people of Indiana or the traction interests. There Is no question in the minds of any who have watched the progress of the traction interests in this state that they are the most powerful special interest In the state. They take direct part in politics and any one who reads the traction sections of the Indiana law and compares it with even the legislation on steam railroads knows the rest of the story. Now comes a clean cut case. It Is a test case to determine the issue e of traction domination in the state of Indiana. What is this county to do? Even if the thing is to be compromised, is it better policy not to fight and mildly accept everything that the traction interests will grant? ' We expect to hear more of this talk in favor of the traction company. What are the real motives that actuate it?

PHYSICLANS HOLD CONVENTION TODAY

Narragansett Pier, R. I., June 26. Hundreds of prominent physicians from all parts of the United States and Canada were on hand today at the opening of the sixty-seventh an nual meeting of the American Institute of Homeopathy. The gathering is being held at the Mathewson Hotel and will continue through the entire week. The chief features of the opening session were an address of welcome by Governor Pothier and the address of the president. Dr. Gaius J. Jones, of Cleveland. Jacob's Ladder. Among long staircases the world over none. It la safe to say. is so long or difficult of ascent as "Jacob's ladder." This remarkable flight contains more than 700 steps, all rising with the same lift In the same direction. The steps rise st an angle of exactly forty-five degrees. "Jacob's ladder" ascends a particularly steep hill at St Helena. The steps are naturally the most direct route to the summit of the bill and despite their great length are traversed dally by hundreds of wayfarers. There are said to be many persons who from long practice are able to ascend the steep stairway at a rapid pace without once stopping for breath. IN HISTORY"

It certainly does the work. Ezo Chemical Co., Rochester, N. Y.. Makers. TWINKLES RUNNING DOWN RUMORS. "Do you think women would improve politics?" "Well," replied Mr. Growcher, "after listening to the conversation on the front porch, I'll say this for them: If they ever start an investigation they'll fiad out something." HOW IT WAS DONE. "And you made a small fortune out of poultry?" "I did." "Where do you keep your chickens?" "I haven't any. I publish books on how to rais 'em." SAFE AND SANE. July the Fourth again draws near With promise oratorical. The only fireworks we need fear are largely metaphorical. ANALOGY. "If nature had intended man to fly," said the positive person, "she would have given him wings." "I suppose, then," replied the aviator, "that if man were intended to travel by water he would be web-foot ed." THE READY EXPLAINER. "What do you think of my graduation essay?" inquired the young woman. "It was a profoundly thoughtful address," replied Senator Sorghum. "But I saw you yawn." "A tribute to its quality. It was so profoundly thoughtful I imagined for a moment that I wa3 in the halls of legislation." A FAN'S PROTEST. Monopoly's a fearful thing.

WHA T OTHERS SAY

THE TITLEITIS INVESTIGATION From the Baltimore Sun. Representative Sabath's resolution to investigate the reason why some American peeresses were invited to take part in the coronation ceremonies while others were left out. along with the general reason for international marriages, will not get much sympathy from the general public. Mast of the American heiresses who have bought titled husbands with their trust-made dollars were of the age when they married and had the right to exercise their choice. Those who 1 were infants had the consent of their parents, who had the right to choose as they saw fit. These people had the right also to choose the manner in which they would spend their money. That is a right that tht is still held sacred in this country, though it has been found necessary to curtail the rights of certain people and combina tions in the matter of making money. If rich people can have more fun for their money by spending it on foreign titles, good and bad, borne by men good or bad, why, let them have it. RACE TRACK GAMBLING. From the Binghampton Republican. The race track gamblers and touts are very active at Albany. They have no difficulty in securing the advancement toward final passage of a bill designed to open up the way for the return of all the evils against which such a determined fight was made. Only one or "two states in the Union now harbor the race track gamblers. From those states they are able to send betting odds, and in this way the poolrooms all over the country are supplied with Information that enables them to fleece the unwary. Is New York to be made one of the inglorious minority of states that allow this process of debauchery to continue? There was no pledge in the last Democratic platform in favpr of the restoration of race track gambling. If there had been Dix would not have received 100,000 votes in the entire state. MAKING SMALL PARKS USEFUL. From the Philadelphia Press. The London local authorities have adopted the new plan of permitting family picnic parties consisting ex clusively of women and little children in the small parks of the city. Permits are issued for this purpose and numbers of family parties who could never afford a trip to the suburbs with all of their children, or to the larger parks of the city, have in this way a little taste of green grass and tree shadows. The beginnings of this are in progress in this city, under the liberal management of Mr. A. E. Elsenhower. The grass In the small squares in the city's center has already been made free to children at play, and mothers, with their babes, sitting on the grass BAGS, SUIT CASES and TRUNKS To be used on your vacation.

. OUR SHIPS AT KIEL. From the New York Times. American warships and their officers and men have been cordially received at Kiel. There is no mistaking the sincerity of the greeting of Germany. Admiral Badger and his fleet bear with them in German waters the good will of the United States to the great empire. The Stars and Stripes flying from the miazenmast of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern means more than a formal compliment, it is agreeable to us to learn that our battleships made a good impression. We know they are good boats, of course, but it is not the less encouraging to have our German friends recognize the merits of their design and equipment. MOST DANGEROUS PASTIME. From the Montreal Gazette. Flying is proving itself to be the most dangerous pastime or sport of the day and is seemingly making people callous. Even on this continent, where life is so cheaply held, a contestant in which 6 per cent of the contestants were killed at the start would shock public opinion. A Warm Aa. It must have been a corking hot day that prompted the following ad., which appeared In the New York Tribune on Aug. 7. 1801: "Uot. Hotter. Uottest. The dog star rages. The sun pours a flood of burning rays. Music pours ita melting strains, and the people, sweating at every pore, are pouring Into Noa, 4 and 6 Burling slip to purchase Ice pitchers of Lucius Hart."
