Editor of Palladium: Referring to the article published in the city evening papers Jan. 2, 1912, it beoorae my duty in defense of myself and family to make this reply. The adequacy of the articles in both papers I fall to comprehend and 1 cannot believe that the Board of Directors of the Young Men's Christian Association of Richmond authorised such publicity. I am inclined to believe that my opponents who have brought about this unfortuniate controversy are doing it for selfish reasons. I do not here wish to make any personal attack upon anyone, however, if the cap fits put It on. The charge made in the article of Tuesday night's Palladium, namely, that the merchants, of thlB city have made complaints against me and as a result the Board was obliged to take action, is of such serious nature that it involves the character of not only myself, but that of my wife as well. If we have offended any merchants or anyone else It surely Is unbeknown to us and bills we are not in the habit of contracting. I wish to see the man who can squarely come to me with bills contracted by myself or my wife and then assert that we are trying to beat them. This charge is surely a grave one, and , I think there Is enough virtue and true blue in the veins of the Christian people of Richmond, Ind., to condemn mistreatment of this kind. It la true that we have our failings and make gross mistakes each day of our lives; but who does not? Yes, my whole life has been a fight for existence), n sad Jumble of errors and misfortunes have belonged to It, but 1 jtry to live right before Ood and walk squarely among men. Brothers and friends, if I am worthy, now I need you and a friend in need Is the friend indeed. Very respectfully, A. R. T. Wlnjum.

Fearless Truth! "I want you men who are opposed to me and to the progressives, to listen to what I have to say. I am not only confident of my ability to convince you, but I will say this, "If I make a misstatement. I will acknowledge myself the demagog and montcbank and reckless radical which you people have charged me with being. Senator Robert M. La Follette.

Last Monday Robert Marion La Follette was at Bay City, Michigan. Angus MeSween, the Washington t orrespondent of the Philadelphia North American, says of his tour through Michigan: "Realizing that he was In a standpat section of the coi ntry. Senator La Follette addressed all bis speeches to the standpat lntelle t At Bay city he virtually issued a challenge to the standpatters." On Saturday, January 6 (the Pennsylvania Railroad permitting Robert La Follette will speak in Richnond. Richmond Is a progressive community but that does not mean that men in Richmond take mere assertion for fact, nor partial fact for the whole truth. In Richmond Senator La Follette will be the guest of the Hoosier State Progressive League, an organization of men that represents hundreds of everyday citizens. The peoj le of Richmond are thinkers. They are slow to conviction but they never move backward once they are convinced in other words they are real pr gressives.

The challenge to the standpatt. rs of Bay City, Michigan, is not needed in Richmond to put men on their mettle in order to subject a speech or an action to critical analysis. Mn judge things on their merits from long and sad 'experience with Buch statesmen as Jim Watson and Fairbanks, Ilemcnway and the like. But the meeting which will sr' et La Follette will be ready to accept his challenge from another reason.

For years the people of KW hm nd have known La Follette simply by what they have read in newspapers. Some have read the Cincinnati Enquirer with Its curious distorted hadlines and its wealth of detail. They have read It in the days when there was no good word said of La Follette and when he was accounted a "firebrand." Today they read it when he is getting a square deal with accuiate reports of his speeches. They read it today when the headlines have tbvs same curious McClean twist with reference to Ohio politics. Some have read the Indianapolis News with its twist by which the News seems always progressive yet, at the crucial moment, gives way Just as It had led its readers to believe that the man they had grown to know was right. They do not know the relation of Bobs Keating its agent and tool to the street railway and other public utilities, nor the relation of the owner Delavan Smith to the same influence; nor the tight grasp which the News has ever tried to maintain on state politics fcr itself and for Ex-vlce president Fairbanks; nor the relation of the News to the administration by which editorial policy has been bartered for control of the federal machine in Indiana. Some read the Star and know the wavering course which led the Star to switch from its avowed progressiveness to a standpat paper within the last few months. Some read the Richmond Item when Bennett Gordon blazed the way for all straightforward progressivness in the Sixth District. They read It now when it is conducted by William Dudley Foulke as an independent paper. Some have read the Palladium and seen its growth in progressiveness as event after event has proved the need for a new way of looking at things. They have read the Indianapolis Sun in its first and second year as a militant insurgent paper. These are the main sources of information in Richmond, Indiana. The Saturday Evening Post has a circulation here, which has given its readers three truthful articles about La Follette and his principles. It has carried the excellent estimates of Sam Blythe on national politics. Collier's and the American Magazine have buyers and readers. Collier's has given impartial information about La Follette in its editorials and in Mark Sullivan's Comment on Congress. The American Magazine has given its readers four installments of La Follette's own story.

It is apparent that every man must have a different viewpoint of La Follette. The tincturing of news asainst La Follette by the great bulk of American news services has given many sincere men the idea that he stands for things which are harmful, wild, visionary, untruthful, and insincere. Therefore in comparison with these things the other side the true story of La Follette has appeared in a strange light. Many progressives for there are many in Richmond and in the country 'round doubtless will look forward to La Follette being an idol like Roosevelt. It is a hard test for any man it has been hard on Roosevelt. We believe that La Follette can stand the acid test of enthusiasm as well as he has fought through malice and ignorance and lies. He does not rely on oratory he relies on facts. And yet La Follette has made men in congress bow to him in debate and persuaded them to come over to his side through sheer force of those facts in their presentation? Though never having had a square deal and never having had a hearing he has developed a faculty of making people listen and of convincing them. For he could never have come through his twenty years' fight without It greater, stronger, and unconquerable. In this light we hope that all men of any party standpatters and progressives will go to hear La Follette that they may make their own estimate of the most talked of and unforgetable personality in American politics today.

Richmond people play fair. They do not condemn a man without a hearing nor do they take up with a man without a hearing.

All Have Troubles. "Everybody worries about money." "Oh. I don't know. Some men are so rich--That's Just It Poor men worry bees use they can't get money, and the rich man worries for fear that it will get away from him." Philadelphia Ledger. Various Ships. Ostend Pa, what kind of ships are courtships? Pa Soft ships, my son. Ostend And what kind of ships sail the sea of matrimony? Fa tfardfchlpa, my son. London Tit-Bits.

We shall be interested in the outcome of the La Follette meeting. The Richmond Palladium and The Indianapolis Sun are conducted on the principle that the truth is the only editorial policy needed. It means something to us therefore to estimate for our own selves the effect of a speech on the people of Richmond in which there is sheer reliance on militant fearless truth.

Had Had No "Help." "Aunt Hattie," as everybody called her, was the oldest person In a southern city. She was generally thought to be at least ninety years old, but despite her advanced age she was still vigorous and in the enjoyment of perfect health. One day, moved by that feeling of cariosity that some people have about anything that is abnormal or unusual, several friends of Aunt Hattie's mistress called upon the old lady In ber kitchen. "What is the secret of your great age and your wonderful vitality, Aunt Hattie?" asked one of them. "Honey." said the old woman, with Just the slightest twinkle in her eye. I thinks it's because I ain't never had no trouble with hired girls!" New Xork Press,

PERFUMED FRUIT. Five Fingered Oranges Small Sweet, but Are Net Good to Eat. A most weird looking fruit is the five fingered orange. It grows In exactly the shape of a naif open hand. Even the nails are Identical, bard pointed aud claw-like, tipping the orange flowers with a length equal, in some cases, to three inches. It is no freak, but a proper kind of orange, belonging to a special variety. The tree Itself is a rugged little shrub that does not average more than five or six feet in height in its native home. Japan. It does not grow straight, as

the ordinary orange tree should, but is ,

curved in all directions. Even the branches grow In spiral or twisted forms, so that the width of the tree is often greater than the height. The fruit itself Is of a pale yellow color, of a pure lemon hue. growing greenish toward the stem. The size is immense, considering the small Dess of the tree, the largest ones measuring when mature fully ten inches from the wrist to the point of the middle finger, including the nail. But the fruit is not good to eat, though what it lacks in flavor it more than makes good in perfume. Perhaps the strangest thing about this perfume Is that it is the fruit and not the flower that ia odorous. Pearson's Weekly.

THE SHORTEST SPEECH. It Was Delivered by Caesar and Con stated ef a 8inale Weed. Julias Caesar holds the record for brevity of convincing speech. The story Is told that while Caesar was in the midst of his struggle for the mastery of the Roman empire the soldiers of his favorite Tenth legion mutinied. He appeared before tbem, and. uttering the one word "Julrites," paused. That word means, of course, citizens." but to the veterans to whom it was addressed it meant a great deal more. It was the special term used in addressing Roman voters assembled in a purely civic capacity, not as soldiers, but as civilians. To the mutinous soldiers it meant that the great commander, whom they bad followed for ten long years from the Alps to the Thames and from the Rhine to the Pyrenees and across the Rubicon, disowned tbem as soldiers and dismissed tbem from bis victorious service. Jteallzing ita meaning, the story goes, the mutineers were appalled. Battle scarred veterans burst Into tears, implored their leader to pardon them and inflicted summary punishment upon the Inciters of the mutiny as a proof of their repentance.

The Term Philosopher. lne word "philosopher" is said to have originated with the celebrated Pythagoras, who was born about 570 B. C The word means a lover of wisdom. Pythagoras must have been a very remarkable man, for it Is certain

that be made a profound and lasting impression upon his time. He was the originator of the idea that nature is a harmony and that Its varied phenomena are all brought about by unerring and universal laws and are an expression of nothing less than the universe itself. True to the name be gave himself, Pythagoras is said to hav devoted his whole life to the acquisition of knowledge to the end that be might impart it to others without money and without price. He was one of the noble influences of antiquity, and the effects of his unselfish labors are still visible among men. Exchange. A Quaint Introduction. Clarence King, the ethnologist, once wrote from San Francisco to John Hay the following letter of introduction: "My Dear John My friend. Horace F. Cutter, in the next geological period will go east. It would be a catastrophe if be did not know you. You will 'swarm in,' as the Germans say. when you meet Lest I should not be there to expose Mr. Cutter's alias I take this opportunity to divulge to you that the police are divided In opinion as to whether he is Socrates or Don Quixote. I know better; be la both."
