City INDIANA A FRUIT STATE C. N. Llndley, of Salem, president of the Indiana State Horticultural society, which ia now In session in this city, In bla opening address said: "It ia truly gratifying to the fruit grower to note the advanced steps being made at this day in the way of placing Indiana in the front rank as an ideal fruit state." This is not only gratifying to the fruit men of the state but to everybody else. Furthermore, it was but a simple statement of fact. Progress is being made, much progress, along the line indicated. The. time surely does not seem far distant when Indiana wil assume a place in the front rank of fruit growing states. That such should be the case there can be so doubt, for Indiana soil, particularly that of northern Indiana, is adapted to fruit growing. This is not a theory, but a proven fact. The opportunity exists and the activities of the fruit growers mean that they propose, to make the most of it. The interest being shown in the apple situation, but one of the lines of activity among Indiana fruit men, is a certain indication that Indiana will assume the rank which it deserves as an apple growing country. The truth ,! Indiana can grow apples the equal of those produced anywhere; at least in quality. The old orchards years ago were famous for the, -quality and qutntity of their product and the new orchards can and will be just as famous." AH that is necessary is continuation of the work now so well begun and so far advanced, coupled with proper exploitation. It is largely a question of awakening more interest, and that really means education. This means a duplication of what has been done in the now famous apple country of the northwest. While apple growing offers excellent Inducements and while the present prospects are such as to justify enthusiasm on the part of fruit men, the situation is practically the same with reference to other fruits, particularly small fruits. , The most encouraging sign in Indiana, however, is found in the attitude of the fruit men themselves. Not only are they keenly ; interested from a purely business standpoint as Indicated by the reports being made in the present session of the state association, backed, as' they are, by experiments, but in the fact that the fruit men are seriously Interested in effecting a" thorough campaign of edu cation. That their hope and aim is to place Indiana in the front rank, where is should be, as a fruit growing state Is patent. That they are not moved entirely by selfish motives is just as clear. Indeed, the fruit grow era of Indiana deserve not only the good will of all Hoosiers but active backing, particularly in their educa tional program (or they are concern ed In a broad project; one not to be measured by dollars and cents to the promoters. South Bend Tribune. This Is My 54th Birthday JAMES WICKERSHAM. James Wickersham, the Alaskan del egate In congress who has been est!fylng before the congressional commit tee appointed to investigate the Con troller Bay (Alaska) affair, was born In Patoka, Illinois, August 24, 1857.

The Tariff Crises

Four years ago newspaper publishers were confronted with an advance of 25 in the cost of printing paper. It was an increase of 50 cents per hundred pounds on print paper. Two years ago the house of representatives conducted an investigation. The duty was reduced from $6 to $3.75 a ton the agreement of the committee on conference. These duties were still excessive and in the favor of combinations which control the supplies of wood pulp and print paper. . " It is obvious that if the cost of print paper should be raised to a high figure that such a newspaper as The Palladium would shave to raise the price of its paper. This would be a burden directly upon the subscribers to this paper. A raise in the cost of print paper would unsettle the whole newspaper business in the United States so closely are fixed costs of newspapers related to the circulation which is the basis of all advertising. . If any reader wonders why The Palladium has gone into the affairs of newspapers and what may be called a selfish interest it is because it furnishes the logical preface to the work of the United States Senate. The House of Representatives. The President of the United States for the last month of the special session of congress called by the president to consider "reciprocity." In turn this condition is connected with the American farmer, the railroad, the monopolies -which enjoy a protective bonus from the people and the ultimate consumer. In the end we shall give some idea as to how this condition will eventually enter into national history and surely into the national election of 1912. The report of the senate committee on finance (p. 1141.) .contains the following telegram: . 4 New York, February 17. By request; private to editor: It is of vital importance to the newspapers, that their Washington correspondents be instructed to treat favorably the Canadian reciprocity agreement, because print paper and wood pulp are made free of duty by this agreement. v HERMANN RIDDER, President American Newspapers Publishers' Association. The Democratic as well as the Republican press of this country without regard to party have supported reciprocity with Canada. Here and there newspapers have frankly confessed their interest in .the matter, others have spoken vaguely about reciprocity with frequent mentions of the names of Blaine and McKlnley. And to their credit be it said there have been some newspapers that have frankly told the truth about the Canadian "reciprocity" measure. The real grievance that the newspapers had was of the same character that more than a majority of the American" people have. The Dingley , law had been enacted under McKinney. In the three years that followed 149 trusts were organized starting with a capitalization of $3,748,000,000 spreading four years afterward to $20,379,000,000 and to $31,672,000 and control of 10,220 plants in 1908. The condition of affairs was such that however advisable the Dingley tariff of 1897 the revision of the tariff was inevitable because the watered capitalization of the trusts and the prohibitive protection granted by the American nation had in effect given over to a few men the whole taxing power on the necessities of life. f Increases in the cost of living followed from at least 40 to 80 per per cent. " ' It was suddenly discovered by a whole nation that the buying power of a dollar was not so great as before. Nevertheless the simulation of selling manufactured products went on. More things became necessities. The public school system of America without which no democracy could long exist kept on "its work of making more and more men with a fuller appreciation of the comforts of life. It came to pass that a committee of men fresh from keeping the tariff at its prohibitive schedules went so far as to , denounce American industries for trying to dispose of their product. The committee held that salesmanship and its development was responsible for the high cost of living! For advertising is the cheapest Jprra of salesmanship and so it was that the circle was completed and the congressional committee dominated by Aldrich and Cannon found that the reason that the cost of living is higher today found not that the taxing power given over by the government to American industrial monopolies was at fault but. that American industries were trying to sell too much! '

What happened is a matter of history. The forces which had maintained Aldrich in the United States senate and Cannon as master of" the house were not slow to recognize that in 1908 the people would no longer stand for the answer of the AldrichCannon committees in congress. It was certain that if the Republican party did not revise the tariff downward or promise to that there might be a situation which would occasion them some embarrassment. The newspapers of the country, both Republican and Democratic were anxious for revision of the Dingley tariff. For as has been explained the newspapers were suffering from the monopolization of the print paper schedules. They occupied the position of the two branches of what is called the "consumer." They were the consumers of print paper directly from the paper manufacturers. They shared the burden of the ultimate consumer because of the curious specialization of the newspaper and magazine business by which the circulation and goodwill of the consumers are resold to the advertisers. " With the press of the country clamoring for revision of the outworn Dingley bill which had become a burden on the American people through the chance given and taken advantage of by the monoplies of the country '' With the press voicing the honest plea of the . whole nation for a real revision of the tariff With this ' plea made insistent from the fact that the cost of living " was traceable to the tariff while the tariff and its dependent monopolistic economic situation had raised the cost of living from 40 per cent to 80 per cent without increasing the ability to pay that increase from corresponding income The Republican platform of 190S therefore promised substantial revision of the old. Dingley tariff. The need was so urgent that it was not to wait it must be revised at a special session. The measure was to be the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad!

In the minds of the people the idea of protection had fallen or rather they realized, that the protective tariff did not' any longer protect them. '

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin ANye .

TO THE UNKNOWN LAND. Of recent pictures, -one of surpassing interest and which has attracted much attention is that of Blair Leighton, entitled "To the Unknown Land." The picture tells a story that, alas, is all too frequent in our common life i story in symbol of a little child's death and the grief of a mother. This Is the picture story: A small boat is leaving the shore. At the bow sits the oarsman Death. In the stern Is a resplendent white robed angel, whose great drooping wings touch the water on either side. In the arms of the angel Is the wee child, smiling up into the face of the heavenly messenger come to lake It to the Unknown Land." That is half the picture. The other half the sad phase of itis the figure of the bereft mother kneeling on the shore, alone, desolate. bowed In agony, as the child Is being borne away on the waste of waters. Her sky is dark, and the only gleam of light is the radiance that streams from the presence of the angel visitant and reflected from the face of the babe. The picture Is great because it is true. ' ' a" , It fills Tolstoy's definition of real art a message from the heart to the heart. How poignant is the suffering of a mother who, having gone down into the valley of the shadow to bold her babe In her arms, feels it wrenched from her embrace forever! Only a mother can know such suffer ing. In the first paroxysms of ber poor. broken heart no consolation can avail. The picture truly shows the mother alone. Alone she must tread the wine press of sorrow. Alone and desolate! But ' By and by she begins dearly to hold in her heart some such picture as that one of the heavenly messenger holding and guarding her child as the oarsman rows it away. . Or -::,.,' She has caught the vision of a shepherd, tender faced, who holds out his arms to say, "Suffer the little children to come unto me and forbid them not. for of such is the kingdom." "Of such" her babe Is the kingdom. And though the tears yet flow they are no longer bitter tears . of agony. Through the telescope of her tears she has looked upon a vision of ber baby in "the t'" i Land." ABlftE OF THE DORSE. Do not shout in the ear of your horse. m A scientist tells us the ear of the horse is extremely sensitive. If you yell at him you spoil the animal. Which is good sense. If you shout in a harsh, loud tone at the horse he will come to look for such an outburst from you, and he will make an extra effort of strength only wben you make an extra effort with your voice. The low tone, spoken positively but kindly, is sufficient. You may make of your horse an intelligent, faithful ally or a sullen, sensitive brute. You can make him your partner or your slave. I saw a fine thing last winter. A teamster stopped his horses for a rest at the bottom of a long hill. The load of coal was a heavy one. When he got ready to start up the hill the driver spoke in a low, encouraging tone: "Come, Billy! Now, Tom!" You should have seen those horses pull! Twice the driver stopped on the hillside, "chucking" the hind wheel of the wagon with a piece of wood. - Once he gave each animal a friendly pat, and they looked at Mm out of their kindly, gentle eyes as at a friend. That driver understood his horses and they him. He had only to suggest and they responded with every ounce of force, they could command. A Kentucky owner of a "big string" of thoroughbreds permits no unkind word to be spoken to any of them. A harsh utterance by any employee is followed by Instant discbarge. The driver who yells at bis horse as if thef latter were deaf confesses thereby Tils lack of horsemanship. The man who curses his horses is a tyrant, and the man who beats them Is a brute. !, Do you know what I sometimes wish? When I see a violent and cruel owner or driver of one of God's noblest gifts I wish the theory of transmigration of souls were true that the Inhuman driver might be changed into a horse, compelled to wear an Iron bit in bis mouth, bis delicate ears assailed by a Tile torrent of abuse, feel the strain of the load behind him, upon his back know the sting of the cruel lash. Treat your horse as you. were you a horse, would want to be treated. NOTICE. I will not pay any debts contracted by Mrs. Sarah A. Addleman, my wife. .James B. Addleman. 23-3t

The fungus that springs up in the grass after a rain is eaten. Fried sweet potato tines furnish the poor man's table. The roadside ditches are balled out for the sake of fishes no longer than one's finger. Careful observers say that four-fifths of the conversation among common Chinese relates to food.

Everything else is neuter. To call garlic If would be an insult. The garlic, be is fresh, he is fine, he is cheap, he Is dear. Funny, isn't it? New York Times. - "

He Made the Mostfof an Unpleasant : Situation. A group of men were discussing human nature and the difficulty ot looking always on the bright and glit tering side of things wben the dingy, dark brown side is uppermost and seems destined to remain uppermost. "It's a great thing to cultivate & disposition to make the most of things In this life, remarked a man who used to drive trotting horses for a living. "The most striking Illustration I ever had of that was in a big horse race at a county fair down the state about ten years ago. The man driving alongside of me let bis borse swerve on the back stretch, and my sulky was upset. That caused a general mixup, and a colored driver tight behind me got unloaded and bis sulky broken to pieces. Well, I lay there for a minute, and then, as I didn't seem to be much hurt, I started to get up. "Hey, boss, don' yo go gittinV up!" yelled the colored driver at me excitedly. . - " 'Why? I asked him, some puzzled. ' 'Cause. he answered, 'yo' all lay right wha yo Is. and In a minute they'll sen' roun hyab and ha 01 us back pas', the gran' stan' In a calhbiage.'
