Articles Will Be Printed in the Order Received. Editor Palladium: Your answer to "D. It. M." as to the meaning of "Going Concern" value, yhlle true in the abstract, hardly covers the point in question. As I see it, the $110,000.00 is supposed to represent the revenue that was lost to the company during the three years of the plant's construction, and the losses of revenue thus suffered was estimated on the earnings of the plant In 1909. In other words, It represents what we are to pay them for water we did not get, and water they did not supply during the time they were building the plant; It Is further supposed to represent the amount of advantages the city would have in taking over a "ready to wear" plant, Instead of building a new one providing the city bought. Since, as "D. R. M." says, the city don't want to buy, and " the water company don't want to sell, then the question arises, what right bras this 1110,000.00 figuring in the deal anyway? Basing the earnings of that $110,000.00' at 8 per cent, It means the consumers of water pay to the water com pany $220,000.00 during the twenty-five years of the franchise. You can see why the water' company wants it in, as It means a cool quarter of a million dollars to them. Yours truly A. BAVIS. 7 his J s My 37th Birthday BURTON LEE FRENCH. Burton Lee French, who represents the S.tate of Idaho in the national house of representatives, was born in Delphi, Indiana, August 1, 1875. At the age cf five he removed with his parents to Nebraska and two years later the family found a new home in Idaho. The future congressman received his education at the University of Idaho, graduating in 1901. The next two years he spent in the study of law in Chicago and in 1903 he was admitted. to the. bar. He began the practice of his profession in Moscow, Idsho which city has since been his home. In 1898, shortly after he reached his majority, Mr. French began his political career as a member of the Idaho house of representatives. He continued a member of the legislature four yars, during which time he completed his legal studies. In 1903 he was elected to congress on the Republican ticket and has been three times re-elected. - Congratulations to: Robert T. Lincoln, son of President Abraham Lincoln. 69 years old today.

"It takes stout people to break all rules regulating the number of buttons on a coat or waistcoat," said the tailor. "They can't follow the fashion; their size won't let them. 'Three buttons on a coat this year,' tailors' conventions may decree, or two or four or five, qc whatever number they think proper, but the man with a figure that is constantly trying to escape its environment does not care about conventions,. What he wants is ouuons enougu w wi u shape. ' " ' 'Put 'em closer together, he says, so the strain won't all come pa tvp or three buttons.' "So we put them closer together, and the result is that stout people frequently have twice as many buttons on their clothes as fashion calls for."

A Deep Significance.

There Is a deep significance In the resignation of Republican precinct committeemen over the state, and In the enlistment of these former old, organization men with the Progressive party. The meaning of these defections does not lie altogether in the progressivism of the Individual politician in the precinct. Back of the Individual and his personal action is the living, aggressive and plain speaking sentiment of the voters in his home precinct. The precinct committeeman is actuated not alone by his own preferences but by the expressed desires and demands of his fellow workers and by the rank and file In his political bailiwick. The sooner the old guard realizes this truth the sooner will the old guard Bee at Its worst the colossal asininity of the Republican party bosses in state and nation. The national committee and the Indiana state committee, by their own deliberate mismanagement of Republican party affairs, made it impossible for aggressives and hopeful party workers sincerely to get in line for Taft and the old organization. By thwarting the will of the rank and file the bosses aroused resentment among the voters. Thus was it made Impossible for the Republican precinct worker to line up his fellows. The men who had been flouted and proscribed by the bosses simply refused and now refuse to fall in and do the bidding of the bosses. Organizing for Taft and the bosses in. the average Indiana precinct is not only hopeless it is a sorry Joke. In precinct after precinct there is nothing left to organize. The perfidy and trickery of Republican party machine men in state and nation have served to decimate the ranks. Cajolery fails. Threats avail nothing. Persuasion has no force. Regularity has become irregular under the crooked manipulations of Kealing and his kind. There is nothing the precinct committeeman can do to fill the party ranks. Is it any wonder, under the circumstances, if the Republican party precinct worker Joins his neighbors in the precinct and quits the Republican bosses who have deliberately wrecked the party he loved and supported? The precinct worker who has at heart the real welfare of his country; the precinct worker who believes in honest prosperity as a larger force for social betterment and higher civilization; the precinct worker who believes in fair policies looking to progress and growth can not join the Democratic party and subscribe to Democratic party platforms either in Indiana or in the nation. That is why the precinct workers, joining the march of their sturdy comrades in the precincts, are moving over into the armed and exultant, stirring camp of the militant Progressive party.

SEARCHLIGHT RAYS. The Effect When the Beams Penetrate a Foggy Atmosphere. Niarly everybody is familiar with the beam of a searchlight and knows why the beam is visible, while light itself cannot be seen unless it strikes the eye. Its visibility being due to particles in the air which really do reflect the light to the eye. On a foggy night, if one will notice, the beam seems to come abruptly to an end if the light is pointed upward. It does this instead of gradually fading away into nothing, as it does pointed horizontally on a uniformly foggy night. The thing is rather puzzling to one first seeing it. but the reason is not far to seek. Where the end of the beam seems to be there is the place the fog ends, for the beam cannot be visible to us unless there are small particles in its path. This is of great help to sailors In judging of the state of the weather, for they can tell exactly how thick the frog is, or, rather, how deep it Is. They can also tell by throwing the light horizontally whether the fog is universal or occurring only in patches, for if extending to a great distance the beam gradually gets dimmer and dimmer, but if in patches the beam is lighter lny patches, and if it goes through a place with no fog at all that part of the beam is black or Invisible. New York Tribune. COFFEE AND TEA. The Bean Improves With Age, While the Leaf Deteriorates. Coffee beans Improve with age. Five year old coffee is better than the new crop and fetches a higher price in tte market, in two years coffee will lose 10 per cent in weight, but it will increase more than 10 per cent in price. Coffee should be used quickly after roasting. If the brown beans appear oily the oil should be dried off in a quick, hot oven; otherwise it will undergo a chemical change which will affect the flavor. While coffee beans dry with age. j teas absorb moisture even when in I zinc lined chests. Tea likewise dej teriorates with age. It doesn't lose strength so much as it does its drawing quality, which is another name for flavor or bouquet. So careful are the tea packers to insure an entire absence of moisture from the tea when being placed in the zinc or lead lined chests that they have the tea leaves 6un dried and then heated before packing The tea goes into the chests too hot to handle with bare hands and Is sealed up in air tight packages before it has time to cool and before the slightest suggestion of moisture reaches lt-New York World.

UNIVERSITY OF FRANCE.

Essentially the Same Today as When Established by Napoleon. In the United States There are many universities which are free from 6tate control, but in France there is only one university, and it is an absolute instrument of the state. It is true that there are schools of higher learning, which were founded in 1870 as universities, but five years afterward the title was withdrawn, and they are now called "lnstltuts." They are five iu number and are located in Paris, Lille, Lyons, Toulouse and Angers. But the University of France Is an entirely different organization. It is the official school. It is centralized in Paris and has under it a vast multitude of establishments, faculties, college and primary schools, distributed over the whole surface of the country. Directly or indirectly they all depend on the government. The university was established by Napoleon, and in spite of certain modifications which it has undergone during years it is the same today in its essential elements as the day he founded it. Just as he established the entire civil administration, with its prefects, subprefects. judges, ministers of finance, so he created in 1806 this vast educational organization, with its countless professors, who control the entire intellectual training of France. America. RAILWAYS AND DOGS. Alike In One Respect In Sardinia, That Both Are Perils. Sardinia is an island of many perils. One of them, we gather from the experience of Mr. Crawford Flitch, the author of "Mediterranean Moods," is the railways. "The engine." he says, "is continually making frantic dashes for the scenery. On the line to Tortoli I made four Journeys and had three accidents. On one occasion, after a car had been wrecked, the various employees gathered round the wreckage and spent the remainder of a sultry afternoon in bitterly disputing the proper apportionment of blame for the accident. As it was impossible to proceed that evening I spent the night at the railway station and enjoyed a comfort that 1 found nowhere else in the Island." Another peril is the dogs, who do not hesitate to attack a stranger, even when he is walking peaceably upon the highroad. "The breed is particularly ferocious, and It is said that the peasants have a way of vtimulatins: their ferocity by tying a blf.dder filled with blood to the neck of a dummy man and encouraging the nnimal to spring at the neck and tear open this bladder." A Famous Paris Sign. Faris is a city of curious signboards, one of the most remarkable ones representing a tobacconist's sign at 55 Rue du Chateau-d'Eau, which has been here ever since 1870. It is riddled with holes made by the bullets of the Prussians, and the occupant of the shop states that so far as he Is aware it is the only public relic of the Franco-Prussian war in evidence In the streets of Paris today. "My sign," he added, "brings me plenty of customers. You have no idea, monsieur, of the number of English and American tourists who pass this way and drop Into my place for a cigar or a box of matches merely in order to have a word with me about my bullet riddled enselgne. I wouldn't part with it for anything." Wide World Magazine. JN HISTORY"

ROOSEVELT TONIGHT In the Fireworks Display at "Last Days of Pompeii" "This is Marshall here. Over there is Roosevelt in Africa. That is a rose." . With a wave of the hand J. Cuncliffe Indicated a lot of lattice work piled up In an angle of the baseball park, where the Last Days of Pompeii will be given this evening. The lattice work was "Marshall" and "Roosevelt in Africa," and an "American Beauty Rose" but only after the lattice work has been rigged out with a lot of pasteboard rubes Hlled with various kinds of powder, percussion caps, dynamite and fuses. And then only when after the fuses are lighted. For the lattice work Is the back ground of fire pictures of Roosevelt at home and abroad and the roses that are to be seen In connection with Pain battle in the clouds each evening of August 1, 2 and 3. J. Cuncliffe is Mr. Pain's fireworks man. He handles gunpowder and dynamite with the apparent carelessness of a child with a stick of candy in its mouth. "See. here Is a stock of dynamite," he said handling a piece of substance that looked like a yellow tallow candle and about as long as an ordinary commercial candle. Mr. Cunliffe had fifty sticks of dynamite attached to wires and strung at a distance of ten feet from one another from tripods back of the Imitation city of canvas that is every night destroyed as a result of an attack on the town by airships of fire and fireworks. The dynamite Is set off with percussion caps to make reports like

cannons. Buy Dynamite Here. "We buy all our dynamite in the city here," said Mr. Cuncliffe. "We never carry any with us because It is too dangerous. We also buy the powder in the cities we visit because it is just as easy to do that as to ship it and carry it along. We use hundreds of pounds of powder every night In this show. It Is the ordinary gun powder. I have been with Mr. Pain for thirty-two years now. I was in Columbus some fifteen or twenty years ago when we produced the show of the Fall of Pompeii. I have never yet suffered an accident in this business. I have a force of fifty men with me and it takes us all lay long to get the show in readiness. There is lots of work to be done in connection with a show of this kind." NOTICE REPUBLICANS!

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY Is Being Held in Tennessee Today.

(National News Association) NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 1. The campaign for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination closed last night in a whirlwind finish, and today the primary is being held throughout the 6tate. Five Democrats aspire to head the party ticket this year ia opposition to the re-election of Governor Ben W. Hooper, the first Republican governor Tennessee has had in thirty years. The Democratic candidates for the nomination for governor are former Governor Benton McMIllin of Nashville, W. R. Crabtree of Chattanooga, Attorney General W. S. Faulkner of Lebanon, T. R. Preston of Chattanooga, and Thomas J. Tyne, one of the leading young members of the Nashville bar. The Democratic candidate who is successful in today's primary is expected to have a great advantage over conditions two years ago, when the late Robert L. Taylor went down to defeat before the alliance of independent Democrats and Republicans, with Hooper as the standard bearer. At that time the election machinery of the state was in the hands of the enemy of the regular, organized Democracy. In ninety of the counties of the state, the Democratic nominee, Senator Taylor, did not receive a single election officer. This year there la one regular Democrat on the State Election Board and a second, an independent, whp favors harmonizing the factions of the dominant party, so that the single Republican left cannot do for Governor Hooper what was done for him two years ago, when the tide was against Democracy. The fly in the Democratic ointment is to be found in the senatorial candidacy of former Governor Malcolm R. Patterson, "the stormy petrel of Dem ocratic politics." On account of the prominence that Governor Patterson had in connection with the CarmackCooper case and the defeat of local option so strongly urged by him, there were many Democrats who did not think it in the best interests of party harmony for him to get Into politics 6o early again. But as the senatorial i

primary is to be a separate affair, to be held at the time of the regular election in November, the hope is expressed by leading Democrats that the contests for governor and senator may be kept separate. Governor Hooper still has his favorite prohibition plank with which to go before the divided Democrats. His party played this feature strong in the state convention that renominated Governor Hooper last spring. As Tennessee is said to be naturally a prohibition state, the followers of Hooper are hopeful that their favorite will win again no matter who is selected today as the Democratic standard bearer.
