THE BETTER WAT. ! "English Jack" is .dead. I And thereby bangs -a real romance. ' "English Jack," known as the Craw ford hermit, lived back in the woods of north, Coarway, "where he had many visitors and no confidants, and the story of his life has been revealed since his death. He was born in London, where be waa left an. orphan when a small boy. He became a street-urchin, living on the town. One day while wandering about he encountered a little maid of ' five years who had lost her father. He helped the girl to find her home, - and that day waa a red letter day for him. Mary's father, -named Simmonds, adopted Jack, and from that time he had a home. ' Stonirymds waa a .ship .master and foand a place for' Jack on board his ship. At the dose- of '.each voyage he ; made his home with Mary and her father. It was natural - that &he and Mary should grow -to love each other, and It -was agreed previous to his last voyage that the two should marry on his re turn. But, alas! ; He waa gone a little more than a year, and on his return when be went to the school where be had placed her he found that Mary had died. His heart was broken. Turning his back upon the world, he spent the remaining thirty-six years of his life in aimless, hopeless solitude. He built a shack one story and a- half, the ground floor serving as sitting room and kitchen,, from which a ladder took him up Into a bare garret, where be slept There he lived his life, lonely and desolate to the end. And the lesson of the tragedy? While there Is a touch of tenderness In the sad story, one may well deprecate such a withdrawal from the world of men. How much better to have enshrined the memory of his loved and lost and gone on working and helping and smiling to the end! There is no place in this busy world for a hermitage. The time is past when men could hope to forget a sorrow or atone a sin by living the solitary life. Atonement is by way of helpfulness. Forgetfulness of sorrow is by way f forgetfulness of self.

Wilson's Weakness.

There are several very important reasons why Woodrow Wilson should not be elected President of the United States. The all important reason, however, is the fact that Tammany and corrupt gangsters will not only continue to control the party In the event of his election, but the government as well. How Wilson is handicapped by Tammany and the interests which it represents is clearly set forth in the Washington Times: The amazing performance in hide-and-seek between Governor Wilson and the New York Democratic bosses at Syracuse, completely illustrates what is the matter with the Democratic party this year. The national candidate for President was tolled off up to the State fair, by a conspiracy, as it now appears, of the State bosses, whose purpose was to place him in an embarrassing position and extract from him either an actual indorsement of Tammany's plans, or else the appearance of fraternizing and friendliness with Murphy et al., that could later be pointed to as the proof of his tacit consent to those plans. Governor Wilson refused to let himself be used in this fashion. He sidestepped a group In which it was intended to take his photograph with Charles F. Murphy, and he left the luncheon with the State leaders, almost before it had begun, in order to avoid association with Murphy. He refused to be closeted with the machine leaders, and resented being paraded about the grounds, before the public, in Murphy's company. Finally in his speech, he talked plainly at the Tammany bosses, and told them that the Democratic party would be discredited, as the Republican party has been, if it falls under the domination of their, ideals and program. All creditable to Governor Wilson. But after all, the man is not so much greater than his party. The things which he resented are the things in which he must acquiesce if he nhall win in the Presidential race. Just exactly what the performanance at Syracuse means, ought to be considered and fully understood by every voter In the land. In it is a complete exposition of the whole national situation. Wilson cannot be elected without the support of New York. If New York goes against him, either Roosevelt will be elected or else the election will be thrown Into the House. The bosses of New York Democracy know this, and they are conspiring to force Wilson to accept their terms as the price of their support for him. Let us consider what will happen if he accepts, or if, without his acceptance, Tammany is still able to control the Empire State, while Wilson is President. First, as to Tammany's position in national affairs. Nothing more need be Bald than that Tammany was the eager, active, efficient aid or ally of Cannon and Cannonism in the fight over the House rules in the spring of 1909. Tammany is to Democracy exactly what the Cannon and Aldrich powers are to Republicanism. Murphy represents precisely the same forces of privilege and corruption that Barnes and Penrose represent. The rule of the Cannons, Aldriches, Barneses and Penroses has disrupted the Republican party. The rule of the Murphys has not yet wrecked Democracy, because the better side of Democracy has not yet become strong enough to discard them. They are still within the party lines, trying desperately to impose their terms upon its national leadership. They are willing to wreck it, later, if they cannot have their way; and they are bringing it, every day, more surely on the rocks of a November shipwreck. If Wilson makes terms with Tammany, the uprising of decent sentiment in New York seems oertain to make Oscar Straus governor and to sweep Roosevelt to a victory less than two months hence. If Wilson refuses to make the deal Tammany demands, to stand for the delivery of , the Empire State once more into the hands of the plunderers, then Tammany will go it alone, and the same result will come to pass. Suppose that Wilson should be elected President, and Tammany should remain in the position it demands. Suppose Tammany elects a New York delegation in Congress, Land-picked by Murphy; and suppose then that Wilson tries to execute any reforms in national affairs; what follows? First, we have the precedent of three years ago, when Tammany's delegation broke away from party lines and went to the rescue of the Cannon oligarchy of privilege rule in the House. It would of course do . that again, and the Democratic strength in the House would be dissipated by the defection of such a powerful sentiment of its membership. Second, there is the precedent which the history of the Wilson tariff bill, in the Senate, affords. The Wilson bill was forced through the House, if and went to the Senate, a pretty honest compliance with Democratic pledges. What happened ? Tammany was represented in the upper chamber by "Collars and Cuffs" Murphy. With him were affiliated Bryce, Gormon, and Smith of New Jersey, all privilege Senators. The four held the balance of power. They lined up with the Senators of privilege, and the Wilson bill was, with their assistance, made over into "perfidy and dishonor." That is what Tammany power always means when Tammany power holds a controlling balance in Congiess. The betrayal of the fight for rules reform, in the House three yerrs ago, and the betrayal of the Wilt son bill in the Senate under the second Cleveland Administration, precisely parallel each other. Tammany was determined that Wilson should not be nominated for President this. year, but he was nominated. Now, Tammany is determined that Wilson shall not be permitted tc carry out a progressive program if he is elected; and it may as well be set down, first as last, that such a program cannot be carried out under a Democratic Administration because of Tammany and Its allies in the representation of reactionary forces.

This Is My 62nd Birthday ROBERT BARR. Robert Barr, the author of many popular novels, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, Sept. 16, 1850. With his parents he came to Canada as a boy and was educated in the normal school at Toronto. For some years he was engaged in teaching school in Canada, In 1876 he removed to Detroit and for the next four or five years he was on the editorial staff of a newspaper in that city. He went to England in 1881 and engaged in journalism in London. Some years later, in partnership with Jerome K. Jerome, he founded the Idler Magazine. Of late years Mr. Barr has given his attention almost wholly to novel driting. Congratulations to: James J. Hill, builder and for many years president of the Great Northern railway, 74 years old today. Hamlin Garland, the noted novelist and dramatist, 52 years old today. John G. McCullough, former governor of Vermont, 77 years old today. A. Bcnar Law, the Canadian-born statesman who has risen to the leadership of the Unionist Party in Great Britain, 54 years old today. NOTICE. Mrs. Mary Fulton has left her husband and little girl without cause and I refuse to pay any of her debts. 16-3t James Fulton. Why They Go Mad. Harry Macdona once made a whimsical remark after bis return from one of his many "polar expeditions." "I didn't mind the cold so much," he said, "and the hardships were to be looked for as a part of the game. But what proved to be almost Insupportable was the constant association, day and night, with the same men. They were all good fellows, too. and 1 liked them, but 1 got to know them too well. A man is like a music box. He can only play just so many tunes, and after you have heard them all over again and again you get deadly tired of them. I think that is why so many go mad on such trips." The Word "Studio. "Studio" Is one of the many foreign words that have acclimatized themselves In the English language. It is a recent import from Italy, unknown to Johnson's dictionary and apparently not occurring before the nineteenth century, but It has supplied a want. "Study," which la the real English for "studio." suggests a room for reading and writing, and "workroom" lacks distinctiveness. The French' get along with "atelier," which literally means a place in which small planks are preparedin other words, a carpenter s workshop.

To the Palladium: In view of the publicity given the affairs of the Biblical Department of Earlham College and Professor Elbert Russell, it seems only fair that some estimate of the esteem In which this man is held by the student body should be made known. Although I am writing merely as one student, I feel that I am one of many in my admiration of Elbert Russell. 1 have never been in any of Professor Russell's classes, and consequently I j know nothing of his doctrinal teach-! ings (nor would I be capable of judg-1 ing-their conformity or nonconformity to the orthodox faith), but I have felt the influence of the man through j other students, who were taking work in the Biblical department, and on j various occasions when I have come In contact with him, and it is purely ' because of my appreciation of his ! character and ability that I voice th-j sentiment of the students in his be-! half. It would be an injustice to th ! institution with which he is connected to hear nothing from the student body at this time. Knowing Professor Russell, as we ! do, to be a good sincere man, as well i as a thoroughly capable teacher, we may justly take exception to the "probing" now being instituted. Of course, it is not Professor Russell's. character and ability that is being "probed"; that everyone knows too well to question, but it is the doctrinal teaching of the man that seems to be causing the complaint. But why should doctrinal details be dragged into account in this day and particularly in an enlightened community like this, wherein Professor Russell is leading such an exemplary life and exerting such a wide influence for good? No boy or girl can come in contact with this man without being inspired to the better things of life, and certainly our Elderly Friends need have no fear of degraded youths because of his doctrinal teaching. Some may argue that Earlham is a Friends' school and that Friends have a right to determine what points of doctrine shall be taught there and which ones shall not, but it must be remembered that the members of this community have been asked to contribute liberally of their means for the benefit of the college, and this they did probably because it kept such men as Elbert Russell in this vicinity. If such pressure should be brought to bear upon Professor Russell as to cause him to consider resignation, rather than become the hireling of doctrinal dictators, we could but admiro him the more for his courage and his sincerity of purpose. We know that he would be truly appreciated and Justly rewarded wherever he might go, but Earlham College and this com-, munity would sustain an Irreparable loss at his departure. It would mean the cutting off of all new life by the doctrinal pruning hook, the inevitable result of which is death to all growth. We sincerely hope, however, that no (such dire results may follow for Prcfesor Russell has already endured considerable embarrassment and refused iexceptio: 1 offers to remove to other (Communities because of his loyalty to Earlham, and the doctrinal criticism of a few elderly Friends is 'bv no means indicative of the esteem in which Elbert Russell is held by the students of Earlham and the residents of this community.

STATE PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM

The Prograssive party of Indiana believes that the people should rule and that their demands should be respected and complied with; that denial of just demands is a denial of free government; that the Republican and Democratic party organizations have become fossilized into rigid machines controlled by political adventurers act-1 ing for special interests and controll-1 ing all of the machinery of govern-j ment to the extent that the people no ! longer have any voice therein and j their just demands are disregarded. j To the end, therefore, that the peo- j pie may have freer and better govern-1 ment, that they may possess the power j to control party organization, that they may enforce their will through their representatives, secure justice and the enjoyment of political and industrial equality, we present the fol lowing demands to the accomplish- j ment of which we promise unflinching i aud tireless effort: 1. The initiative, whereby a cer- J tain reasonable percentage of the voters of the state may petition for the submission of a proposed law direct ly to the people for their approval or rejection. The same principle should be made applicable to smaller districts. 2. The referendum, whereby a stated percentage of the voters may secure the submission of laws passed by the law-making bodies to the whole : body of voters for acceptance or rejection. 3. The recall, applied to all elective, executive, administrative and legislative officers. 4. Direct primaries for the nomination of all elective officers and of ail officials of party organizations to be held by all parties on the same day, which day shall be a registration day, these primaries to be governed by the corrupt practices act. 5. The adoption of the proposed amendment to the federal constitution providing for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, and in the meantime the adoption of a law similar to the Oregon law, by which the legislators elected by all parties shall be bound by a direct preferential vote for senator. 6. A preferential vote for candidates for President and Vice Presi dent. 7. The adoption of a more effective and economical registration act and a corrupt practices act which shall apply to all elections and primaries, including the election of officials of par ty organizations and of delegates to all conventions. 8. Equal suffrage for women on all questions. 9. A minimum wage for women wage earners. 10. Efficient child labor laws, national and state, and the rigid enforcement thereof. 11. A decided change in 6tate education which shall prepare youth to engage in life work tlfrough trade schools and widespread industrial and agricultural education; free school books for children in common schools. 12. A public utilities commission, with power to regulate rates, service, capitalization and issuance of securities of public service corporations and to make physical valuation of the property of Buch corporations, and compel the production of books and records. 13. An act prohibiting corporations from the issuance or sale of watered stock. 14. A workman's compensation act for industrial accidents under which establishment losses shall be settled upon a scale fixed by statute, the worker to have his alternative to pursue his remedy in court. 15. Home rule for cities, with power to adopt their own charters. Until this can be accomplished by constitutional changes we favor the passage of an act granting to cities and towns the option of adopting commission government In lieu of remaining under the present cities and towns act. 16. The application of the competitive merit system to the civil service of the state and of the cities and counties thereof, and the adoption of the federal registration rules for the labor service. 17. A reform in court procedure whereby technicalities in pleadings,

in trials and on appeals shall be eliminated, so that justice shall not be delayed or denied. 18. The creation of a state conservation commission embracing the work of the state geologist, the state etomologist. the bureau of statistics and the state board of forestry. 19. The erection of a state library and archive memorial building in

Federal regulations of corporations doing an interstate business, un der the supervision of an industrial eonuSsion with power similar to those of the interstate commerce commission. 24.

As a permanent solution we agree to enact the initiative? and referendum, through which method a vote of the whole people honestly expressed, without bias or prejudice of party politics, may be had. In the meantime we favor county local option as a temporary relief. 25. We favor a tariff measured by the difference between the cost of production here and abroad. This is fair to American manufacturers; less than this is unjust to American laborers; more is unjust to American consumers. We demand the immediate creation of a genuine permanent nonpartisan tariff commission, with ample power and definite duties fixed in the law itself; meantime we demand the immediate revision of the Payne-Ald-rich tariff law along the lines of honest protection. 26. We favor the calling of a constitutional convention by the next legislature, the delegates thereto to be chosen b direct vote of the people on a non-partisan ballot.
