Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A.NYE.

A BOTTLE EQUATION. Here is an equation from a bottle: John O. Schroeder of St Paul was arrested in Chicago for passing a worthless thirty dollar check on a saloon keeper. According to Schroeder, the last eight years of his life may be put into the following equation. Ho lost in the eight years: Half a million dollars in cash. His position In a big business. His reputation. His friends. His health. On the other side of this equation he got during the eight years: Ten drinks of whisky a day.

What is the answer? Ten drinks of whisky per day cost. say. $365 a year; in eight years, $2,920. Or suppose the drinks cost as much as 15 cents. That

would aggregate $4,3S0.

Now, it is easily seen that the terms

of the equation are startlingly un

equal.: How could Schroeder lose a half million dollars, his business, his

reputation and friends and health on an expenditure of only $4,3S0? He tells how.

He says. "You can't whip whisky

and carry It around Inside of you." In other words, if you would cor

rectly figure the problem you should

not estimate the money that was paid out, but the whisky that was paid In. For eight years Schroeder put an - enemy in his mouth that was stealing his brains, and with the stolen brains went money, business, friends, health and reputation. "Eight years ago I was in charge of a milling business that did a million a year. I lost control of myself and of the business. I did not gamble nor joy ride with girls. I just drank whisky." Unshaven,, disheveled, with sad face and forlornly repentant voice, he uttered these words in the cell where he terminated his journey on the Great White Way. . It did not pay. Of course not. But, like many another traveler to the bar of Judgment. Schroeder must needs take the entire trip to find out The figures are plain. Ten drinks of whisky a day or less will cause a man Anally to lose everything he holds dear, except the whisky. To try to whip whisky by drinking it is like trying to whip the devil by serving as his agent.

The County Ticket-Some Figures (Continued from Page One.)

iican ticket Not to do so would be an admission that the Progressives were the controlling factor in Wayne county and that, as far as Wayne county was concerned, the Republican party had gone out of business. Such an admission will not be forthcoming before election. There will be a complete Republican county ticket even if the present nominees do resign to run on the-Progressive ticket.

On election day, the Palladium, firm in its belief that 75 per cent of what was the Republican party now constitutes the Progressive party in Wayne county, contends that the following at least will result: Progressive county ticket, 5,048 75 per cent. Democrat county ticket, 4,503. Republican county ticket, 1,693 25 per cent. Notice, we say, "at least," and with good reason. In explanation, remember that Colonel Roosevelt is at the head of the Progressive national ticket. In 1904 the same gentleman was at the head of the Republican national ticket. That year the Republican party polled 7,390 votes in Wayne county, or 659 votes more than it received in 1908. The Democrat party that same year polled only 3,116 votes in this county. Colonel Roosevelt's majority in Wayne county over the Democrats was 4,274 votes. A part of that enormous majority was composed of votes cast by Democrats. Is there any valid reason to suppose, this year of all years, for he is running on the platform of a party that is Progressive in a sense that no other party can claim to even approach, that Colonel Roosevelt's majority in Wayne county will not contain the votes of many "former" Democrats? "Former" Democrats, because you will find a very fair per cent of the members of the new party were of that faith, in lieu of nothing better until the Progressive party was organized out of the people's necessity. If the Progressive Republican nominees for county office become the straightout Progressive candidates then every Progressive voter can vote a straight ticket, from Theodore Roosevelt for president on the national ticket, Albert Beveridge for governor on the state ticket, down to Howard Horton for surveyor on the county ticket. This means there will be practically no scratch tickets and the county candidates will poll practically the some vote in Wayne county that Theodore RooseveK will receive. And Theodore Roosevelt is going to carry Wayne county by a large majority.

The Democrats have decided to nominate a complete county ticket. This means that every nominee on the Republican ticket for the first time in years will have opposition. There are hundreds of independent voters in Wayne county, men who own to belonging to no party. Should these independent voters decide to cast their votes in a stinging rebuke to the now thoroughly discredited Republican machine, they may vote for Wilson or Roosevelt on the national tickets and for the Democrat nominees for county office. If this should happen, there is a chance that the Democrat ticket may be successful. If the present Progressive Republican candidates become the Progressive candidates, the chances are they will receive all the independent votes cast for the head of the Progressive ticket, as well as the full strength of the Progressive voters. The reactionary Republican voters will naturally be against them, though they might as well ask the reactionary Republicans to support them on the Progressive county ticket as to ask the Progressives to support them on the reactionary Republican ticket, but the reactionaries will not count. They will have to place a new ticket in the field or acknowledge the Republican party to be non-existent in Wayne county. And that they will not do in the face of such claims as county chairman Comstock has been making, that Wayne and Jefferson townships are the only ones in the county that have any Progressive sentiment. Claims like that would not go down if another Republican county ticket were not put in the field in case the present Progressive Republican nominees became stranght-out Progressives. The Palladium repeats, the right way out of any problem is the easiest way out. The Progressives Bhould nominate the present Progressive Republican candidates on the Progressive county ticket, in fulfilment of the obligation engendered by participation in last spring's primary, and give them not to exceed a week in which to accept or decline the Progressive nomination. If the Palladium is not greatly mistaken these men are Progressives at heart and they will accept the Progressive nomination. Then the Progressives are before the people as a full fledged party and not as a "half-breed" party, as the New Castle Times designated them several days ago.

The Profit Sharing Plan as Solved By Boston. The section in the proposed water works contract whereby the city will share equally with the company in the net earnings after the fixed charges, operating expenses and six per cent on the valuation of the stock, are paid, seems to be only a partial solution of the problemThere is no question but there must be some sort of a, plan arranged so that the city can either share in the profits of the company or a means established of adjusting the rates from time to time as the earnings of the company Increase in greater proportion than the operating expenses and the fixed charges increase. - It is an impossibility to fix at this time equitable rates on the consumption of water that will continue to be fair to consumers and at the same time allow the company to pay only a fair return on its inventment The attorneys for the city, when the proposed contract was drafted.

evidently Included this section for the purpose of equalizing rates after a period of five years, when they thought the rates would be obsolete. In the proposed profit sharing section the company would be prevented from earning more than six per cent on its investment but the profit would not be distributed to the clas6 of citizens that it rightfully belongs to. Under this section the consumer of water will be compelled to continue to pay the same rates while the city and taxpayers only will profit by the adjusting of the profits. The burden of the unjust rates will be In the wrong place. If the company in five years from now can furnish water cheaper than it can today then the consumers of water should have the benefit and not the tax-payers. This same question has puzzled every city which has had to deal with public service corporations. In 1905 the city of Boston, Mass., tried an experiment with a gas franchise which is an entirely automatic franchise so far as equitable adjustment of the prolts of the company is concerned. So far the experiment has worked out to the satisfaction of all concerned. The price of gas has been reduced at least 20 per cent and the market price of the securities has gradually increased. The Boston system creates substantially a partnership between the public and the stockholders of the company. "A partnership in which the public will secure an ever-increasing share of the profits of the business." Let us quote the Review of Reviews: "The Boston Sliding-Scale act, which embodies with some modifications the main provisions of the system widely used in England, provides as follows: "First: Ninety cents per 1,000 feet of gas (i. e. the maximum price then actually charged by the Boston company) is made the standard price of gas. "Second: Seven per cent (i. e. one per cent less than the dividend which was then being paid by the Boston company) is made the standard dividend. "Third: The company is prohibited from paying more than 1 per cent dividend unless and until one year after it shall have reduced the price of gas below 90 cents, and then may increase its dividend at the rate of 1 per cent for every 5 cents reduction ir. price of gas. "Fourth: New stock can be issued only with the consent of the gas and electric light commissioners and must be sold at auction at such minimum price and under such other conditions as the commissioners may prescribe. "Fifth: Provision is made for determining annually and publishing in detail in the newspapers, the cost of manufacturing and distributing gas. "Sixth: After the expiration of 10 years the gas and electric light commissioners may upon petition "lower or raise the standard price per 1000 feet to such extent as may be justly required by reason of greater or less burden which may be imposed upon the company by reason of improved methods In the art of manufacture, or by reason of changes in price of materials and labor, or by reason of changes in other economical conditions." If this plan has proved satisfactory in the city of Boston there is no reason why some modification of the plan could not be substituted for the profit sharing clause now in the proposed Richmond water works contract. We believe that the Boston plan is as near an equitable solution of the problem of the division of profits as is possible to obtain under our present system of city government.

BETWEEN TWO FIRES. Curious Hare Hunt That Occurred at the Battle ef Wagram. At a certain stage of the battle of Wagram. which took place in 1S0O. the proceedings developed into a great hare hunt There were 400.000 bunt-' era. half French and half Austrian. The plain was. It is related, covered with hares, which the long advance of the two armies had driven into a narrow space. Frightened by tha guns of the French, they ran for their lives and continued to run until they reached the Austrian lines. There they were none the less terrified and came rushing back upon the French. The soldiers were greatly Interested by the frantic movements of the hares and could hardly be restrained from making after them. There occurred a charge by the Austrian cavalry, which, of course. tok no account of the hares. The horse plunged In amoug them, and they rushed In dismay among the ranks of

, the French soldiers, who. confused by

so strange an attack, began bayoneting the hares. Other soldiers not Immediately pressed by the onset of the enemy caught up the trembling animals In their hands. There was that day a great slaughter of men and hares, and many a shot destined for the enemy struck one of these poor animals, who doubtless believed that the great armies had come there expressly to hunt them Instead of to hunt each other.

How to Bake Cabbage. Cut up and boil quantity of cabbage desired In salted water. When cooked till soft though not boiled quite enough to eat, drain off water. Butter a baking dish, cut up cabbage quite fine, turn into dish, add salt and pepper to taste and small bits of butter. Pour over sweet milk till nearly covered. Bake In moderate oven about threequarters of an hour. A good way to . use up boiled cabbage is to try out four or five slices of fat bacon. Remove bacon and put cabbage into pan and brown, draining off some of the fat if too greasy. Serve on a platter garnished with the bacon. This la called dressed cabbage.

Progressive Precinct Meetings. There is a report going the rounds that at the Progressive precinct meetings, at which delegates will be elected to the county convention that will nominate a Progressive candidate for state representative, attempts will be made to instruct the county delegates for various candidates. The Palladium believes this will be a very poor policy. This newspaper does not believe in conventions for the selection of party candidates. It believes in primaries. It realizes, however, that necessity is forcing the Progressives to make use of the time worn convention system in making up the list of candidates of their party, in that there is no time for a primary. Furthermore, it knows that if there were ime for a primary, it would probably be of doubtful effect this time, in view 1 of the fact that there are no existing poll books of Progressive voters, a serious defect when It comes to having an honest primary. Inasmuch, therefore, as the Progressives must fall back on the convention system, not because it is right, but because it is the only means left to form quickly the fighting line of the party because an emergency exists they should see to it that this system is used in the fairest way possible. And It will not be fair to instruct delegates to the county convention for this or that candidate. The delegates should be left free to nominate the man they believe best fitted for the place from the Progressive standpoint. Every Progressive voter realizes there is no time for the various Progressive candidates for this nomination to make a county-wide canvass. Therefore the Progressive voters have no fair chance to meet with and judge the qualifications of the men who are competing for their favor. In such a contingency the voters who attend the various precinct meetings should concentrate their attention on the delegates who are to represent them in the county convention. They should select men who are capable of voting for the man who will best represent Progressive ideals in the next legislature. They should not tie the hands of such men by instructing them to vote for any one man; especially when, as is likely to be the case, only a minority of, the Progressive voters in a precinct will be present at the meeting, one of the great faults of the delegate system and one that leads easily to boss control. Since the Progressives must make use of the delegate convention system in order to nominate a man who will be expected to do his best In the next legislature to uproot the whole evil system that has been the outgrowth of delegated government, let them use it for the last time in such a way that no reproach will attach to them. Let there be no boss tactics in the organization of the Progressive party.

DORSEY W. SHACKLE FORD. Dorsey W. Shackleford, one of the oldest of the Democratic members of the national house of representatives in point of Eervice, was born in Saline County, Mo., August 27, 1853.
