But there are worse, gadabouts. I refer to gadabout thoughts whlcL go here and there without connection or definite purpose. What could you expect of a shit that would sail now ahead and now idewlse and now In a circle and in very direction of the compass regard less of destiny? Gadabout ships of that sort soon are drifting derelicts. Some people's thinking is of that ladefinite character. They are as changepble as the drifting vessel. As sailors say, they are forever "yawing." Their thoughts are gadabout thoughts. It is all tight to think at times along general lines for the broadening and cultural effects such thinking affords, but to get anywhere and to do anything one's thinking must be definite and purposeful. The gadabout thoughts may do for the passenger who whiles away his time on deck, but the steersman cannot Indulge them. Vacillation spells failure. Spasmodic, disconnected thinking goes gadding to nowhere. Vagrant thoughts make vagrant men. The man who haa failed has done about aa much thinking as he who succeeds, but it has been fragmentary. Impulsive, wayward. His thinking has not -bean In a straight line. Goncantrate!

Honey Back Cure for Rheumatism

No wonder Leo H. Fine Is having such a large sale on RHEUMA when It cures Rheumatism so quickly and he guarantees It It's simply wonderful how quickly it gets after any kind of Rheumatism and drives agony from the joints and muscles. A. A. Bellows, East Orwell, Ohio, writes: "I have taken three bottles of RHEUMA and. am cured of Rheuma- , . tlsm. I want two bottles for my cousin, who la very badly crippled with the disease." No remedy on earth can compare with this new discovery, RHEUMA, for it acta on blood, kidneys, liver and bowels all at once and makes you feel better in a day. A bottle of RHEUMA only costs 50 cents at Leo H. Fine's or by mail, charges prepaid, by Rheuma Co., Buffalo., N. Y. Indigestion vanishes and all stomach distress disappears. Ask Leo H.

MR. DILL'S PROPOSAL The Palladium la very glad the water works committee of the Young Men's Business Club, despite Mr. Dill's plea and the cajolery of his offer ' of lower water rates, refused to back down from its original recommendation that the water works company should produce its books before council for thorough examination. Furthermore, we feel in this the Palladium voices the sentiments of the great majority of Richmond citizens. Mr. Dill Is mistaken on two very important points. In the first place, he is wrong in his Impression that the people are willing to trade blindly their right under the law to know the investment, financial and other details of the water works company for the lower rates he offers. The citizens of Richmond have too good an Instinct for business to tackle that kind of a "boss' trade. Especially as they realize the coming investigation of the company's books will show the true investment basis on which rates, fair to the water works as well as to the people, will be founded. It might be added that rates arrived at in this manner will obviate any danger of Mr. Dill's proposed lower rates being so low as to be really unfair to the company! The second error on Mr. Dill's part is his evident hesitancy at the public examination of his company's books. His action in this regard denotes either lack of confidence In the fair judgment of the people, or a weakness in the position of the water works, due to the fact that the examination of the books may show the company has been earning exorbitant profits on its real investment, or both. Meantime, we feel sure the people will approve the action of the water works committee of the Young Men's Business Club, and will join with Its members and with the Palladium in assuring council It is on the right track in carrying on the investigation of the water works company's books. Let us have the facts of the business first and talk rates and terms afterwards.

MR. STUDY The Palladium . trusts Mr. Study's new employment as auxiliary counsel for the Richmond City Water Works company will prove very lucrative. It hopes he will have no embarrassing doubts as to the propriety of such action on the part of the former city attorney for the administration that was responsible for the famous Maury report, and under which the water works question first was raised. Moreover, lest it escape Mr. Study's agile memory, we suggest he re-read the report and hasten, before his powers of remembering are spent, to inform his new employer, as he did his former, that among other things over $100,000 worth of property, that rightfully belongs to the property owners of Richmond, is credited by it to the water works company. The Palladium feels sure the citizens of Richmond will join with it in extending congratulations to Mr. Study .over his new employment, and will gladly accept Mr. Dill's explanation that this unexpected honor was thrust upon our fellow citizen and eminent member of the Wayne county bar, because nearly all the original stockholders and directors of the company are dead and Mr. Study, who was attorney for the company in its early days, is practically the only one who knows about the original organization and plans of the company.

THE PEOPLE RULE IN CANADA (John Callan O'Laughlin in the Chicago Tribune.)

One million, two hundred and fifty thousand Canadian electors will cast their ballots on Sept. 21 for representatives in the house of commons, of

the Canadian parliament. If a major

ity of these be avowed liberals, the

governor general, acting as the agent of King George, the present premier,

to form a ministy. If the majority be conservatives, he will extend this invitation to R. L. Borden, of Halifax, the present leader of the opposition. If the majority be conservatives and

nationalism, a coalition ministry will

be formed, which Borden will be in

vited to head.

The governor general is merely the

mouthpiece for the will of the people.

The leader of the party which is vic

torious becomes the real head of the

executive of the Canadian federation, Just as President Taft is the chief executive of the American nation.

The spectacle, such as exists today In Washington and has been presented before in American history, of apresident of one party being opposed by a majority of another in control of con

gress cannot occur here. The premier must hold constantly a majority of the house of commons behind his government and the measures he pro

poses. Failure to do so requires at

once a new election and the turning of power over to the leader of the par

ty victorious at the polls. Thus, Canada has the same system that obtains in England, and it is responsible largely for the long tenure

of office which various parties have

enjoyed. For example, Sir. Wilfrid Laurier has been in control of the government since 1896 and his administration has been confirmed by three subsequent elections. Sir Wilfrid succeeded the conservatives, who held the reins of government for 18 years. Another election might have been postponed, had not the reciprocity agreement been negotiated. That agreement was presented for enactment, but, through the filibustering tactics of the conservatives, it was apparent that a vote could not be taken, and it was determined, therefore, to present the issue to the country.

This has given an opportunity, for the discussion of other issues, such as the creation of a Canadian navy, upon which the nationalists are dwelling, strongly among the French in the province of Quebec and the province of Ontario, alleged scandals in the government, etc. Naturally the opposition is seizing upon every failure of the Laurier government, every mistake it has made, to create dissatisfaction and votes against it Tte tactics observed are those the Democrats have pursued and will pursue in the next campaign with respect to the administration of President Taft Of course, the paramount question Is that of reciprocity, and its fate will be decided according to the majority of votes cast While under the British and Canadian systems, there is less incentive to Insurgency than there is in the United States, no one can follow events here without realizing that a great shifting is in progress among party followers. It is true that If a man opposes a government measure he usually finds himself in the ranks of the opposition. Henri Bourassa, of Quebec, is an exception, due to exceptional conditions. He was a liberal, but broke with his party upon the question of giving military aid to Great Britain and upon the organization of a Canadian navy. Representing a French constituency in

tha Quebec provincial " parliament, a

constituency which objects to British imperialism, he created the nationalist movement. In those ridings of districts where French sentiment is strong, the nationalists have nominated candidates quite prudently have refrained from putting candidates of their own party in the field. The latter do not want to split the vote against the liberal condidates and are urging their supporters to vote for the nationalist nominees. ' - - ' r' - Bourassa, who as first approved the reciprocity agreement and now opposes it, has thus paved the way as far as lies in his power for conservative control of the government through a coalition ministry.

The alliance of the conservatives and the nationalists, however, contains germs of weakness as well as of strength. The conservatives believe in contributing two or three dreadnoughts to the British navy. The nationalists are opposed to Canada's participation in the upbuilding of the British navy. The liberals naturally are pointing out in conservative strongholds that in order to secure nationalist support, the conservative leaders have been forced to enter into some kind of a deal with Bourassa which will nullify the conservative naval program. The senate of the Canadian parliament is not that militant body which the senate of the United States is. It cannot thwart the people's will. It cannot amend important measures or introduce into them jokers wjiich nullify their provisions. The house of commons, like the house of representatives, alone has the power to introduce money bills, bills imposing taxes or for the collection of revenues. The United States senate has the power to amend these measures, to adopt substitutes for them. Not so the Canadian senate. Once in a while to save its face, the government permits the senate to make a minor amendment to some unimportant measure. The senate also may introduce, debate and pass other measures than those expected, but the house of commons, or rather the government majority in that body, determines whether any of these shall be enacted. The senate is not an elective body like the American senate, but its members are appointed for life by the governor genera? upon the recommendation of his privy council.

BAILEY RETIRES FROMJJMELIGHT Democratic Party Has Disowned Texan Has Had Spectacular Career,

It Never Comes Again. There are gain for all our losses:. There are balms for all our pains. But when youth, the dream, departa It take something- from our hearts. And It never comes again. We are stronger and are better Under manhood's aterner reign. Etill we feel that something sweet Followed youth with flying feet And will never come again. Something beautiful is vanished, L And we sigh for it In vain. We behold it everywhere, On the earth and In the air. But it never comes again. Richard H. Stoddard.

According to Formula. ' Judge Pennypncker was once asked by his brother Harry during a session of court for the loan of $5. Harry walked to the desk and whispered the request in the judge's ear. The latter, looking down over the top of his glasses without the suggestion of a smile, said loud enough to be heard throughout the room: "Put your application in writing and present it to the court In a proper man ner." Sir. Pennypacker, thinking thJudge's insistence upon regularity tf be merely regard for the dignity of thi court, wrote out the request and hand ed it to the clerk of the court, who iu turn passed it to the bench. The judge read it quietly and seriously an) then interrupted the pending trial Ion? enough to sny: "Application for a loan of $5 made to this court Is received and refused."

What the Sandwich Was For. A stately old professor was approached by a young student one day In the western colleges. Trying bard to keep back a smile, the young man asked: "Professor, you say you are an expert at solving riddles, don't you?" "I claim that I am. my boy." "Well, then, can you tell me why a man who has seen London on a foggy day and a man who has not seen London on a foggy day are like a ham sandwich?" The professor studied for a long time, venturing several answers, which proved to be wrong. Finally, at his wits' end, he said: "I give it up." "It's easy." said the other. "Give it up." repeated the professor. "Why," was the reply, "one has seen the mist, and the other has missed the scene. Ha, ha! Catch on?" "Of course I do, you lunatic! But what has the sandwich to do with it?" After the youngster had recovered from a spell of laughter he chuckled; "Oh, that's what you bite on."

An unpopular Tax. A chimney tax was first levied In England in 1663, but it proved so obnoxlona that it was abolished in 1669.

BY JONATHAN WINFIEtD. WASHINGTON. Sept 18. Senator Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, has for the second and positively the last time, so he says, given notice of his retirement aa a Senator of the United States frort the great State of Texas. Should Bailey really mean what he said, that he will decline to run again for Senator, his declination will have considerable effect on the national Democratic campaign to be waged this fall. The cause of Bailey's desire to drop out of National politics Is not epeci fi

nally known, but many accusations :have been made against the Texan

that created tremendous opposition to him in his home State. Stories that gained widespread circulation several years ago, when he made a state-wide campaign for renomination and re-election, blackened his political record to such an extent that he hardly weathered the storm. Charges were made that he was closely identified with the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, a subsidiary concern of the Standard Oil Company, and that he was instrumental in "getting" the Standard a foothold in Texas. The fight against Bailey was taken up nationally, and the cry was raised to "throw him out" of the Democratic party. He survived the fight at that time, but the mutiny in his party organization assumed such proportions that it is an open question whether he would be able to come out successfully should be stand for re-election. Bailey created a sensation at the close of the last regular session, when it was dramatically announced by Vice-President Sherman that Bailey had handed in his resignation. The announcement was hailed with joy by the Texan's enemies, but afterwards the Senator withdrew his announcement. That was the first time. During the past extraordinary session. Bailey really resigned from the National Monetary Committee. Not many days ago the Texan again declared that he would not be a candidate for re-election to the Senate and from the facts surrounding this announcement It looks like he means it. It was generally understood among the Texans in Congress that Bailey would throw his influence in the direction of bringing about the nomination of a conservative Democrat for the Presidency, possibly Judson Harmon. With Bailey out of the running for the senate, and his influence in politics in his own state and elsewhere in the south reduced to nothing, there is no doubt that efforts to get support for progressive Democrats like Woodrow Wilson or Champ Clark, in the

South will bo greatly aided. This applies with particular force to Texas, where the Wilson forces are active and where they are certain to be strengthened by the retirement of Bailey. In the Senate Bailey was once a recognized leader, owing to this ability and his thorough knowledge of constitutional law. He was never recognized officially as the minority floor leader of the Senate, because Senator Money of Mississippi had been selected in caucus. WThen Money retired from the Senate, Senator Martin of Virginia succeeded to the leadership. This hurt Bailey's pride, as he supposed that he would succeed to the leadership of the minority of the upper branch. Secretly afterward, John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi, came to the Senate succeeding Senator Money. Mr. Williams is an able parliamentarian, a lawyer ol unquestioned ability, and a student. He crossed swords

with Bailey many times in debates, and has gradually collected around him those Senators who were formerly warm supporters of Senator Bailey. So at the close of the last regular session of Congress Bailey was left out in the cold, his party domination in the Senate at an end and with the prospect of a hard fight for re-election he made up his mind to resign. Then Senator Cummins, of Iowa, jumped into the limelight by successfully advocating a termination of the National Monetary Commission, the haven of all "lame ducks" of the Senate. Bailey, the only Democratic member of the Commission, angry at this, resigned from the commission. After Congress closed its extraordinary session the fight against Bailey for the Democratic renomination as Senator from Texas broke out anew in his home state. He clearly saw that to come back to Washington he would have even a greater Ight on his hands this fall than ever before. He determined not to go through another bitter and acrimonious campaign and hence has announced his Intention of resting. He has in an official statement given to the press declined to run again.

A little Diapepsin relieves bad Stomachs in five minutes. As there is often some one in your family who suffers an attack of Indigestion or some form of Stomach trouble, why don't you keep some Diapepsin in the house handy? This harmless blessing will digest anything you can eat without the slightest discomfort, and overcome a sour, gassy Stomach five minutes after. Tell your pharmacist to let you read the formula, plainly printed on these 50-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily see why it makes Indigestion, Sour Stomach, " Heartburn and other distress go in five minutes, and relieves at once such miseries aa Belching of Gas, Eructations of sour, undigested food. Nausea, Head

aches, Dizziness, Constipation and other Stomach disorders. Some folks have tried so long to find relief from Indigestion and Dyspepsia or an out-of-door stomach with the common, every-day cures advertised that they have about made up their minds that they have something else wrong, or believe theirs is a case of Nervousness, Gastritis, Catarrh of the Stomach or Cancer. This, no doubt is a serious mistake. Your real trouble is, what you eat does not digest; instead, it ferments and sours, turns to t acid. Gas and Stomach poison, which purify in the digestive tract and intestines, and, besides, poison the breath with naeseous odors. A hearty appetite, with thorough digestion, and without the slightest discomfort or misery of the Stomach, is waiting for you as soon as you decide to try Papa's Diapepsin.
