ENNiS SPARED TRIP Friends Pay Fine to Keep Him from Workhouse.

(Palladium Special.) PIQUA, Ohio, Oct. 28. Friends came to the rescue of Tom Ennis at the eleventh hour Friday afternoon.

and saved him from a trip to the !

Xenia workhouse. They put up the money to pay his $50 fine and the costs after his removal to the workhouse had been ordered and preparations were being made for the trip. Ennis had been convicted before Mayor Kiser on an assault and battery charge, his victim being George O'Connell, of Chicago. The assault was made last Sunday night while both men were drunk . O'Connell suffered two fractured ribs and numerous bad cuts and gashes. lie is improving rapidly at the Memorial hospital.

' Oddities of Translation. When the Bible was translated lnt Japanese an equivalent to the word "baptize could not be found, and the word "soak" had to be used Instead, so that Japanese Biblical students are acquainted with a person named "John the Soaker" and with a doctrine of "soaking for remission of sins." In that case the mistranslation Is due to inadequacy of language. It is oftener due to Ignorance. A schoolboy once rendered "Miserere, Domine! Into "Oh. heartbroken schoolmaster! And another recovered from German the text "The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." in the form "The

For Ray Kay.

Evidently Mr. Ray K. Shiveley's brain has evolved a new Idea. He has decided that the pen is mightier than the club. Or rather that verbal clubs are more appropriate to twentieth century civilization than tne real article. To use the latter might lay one liable to the charge of atavism, of reverting back in an instant to the starting point of humanity's weary but Inspiring centuries climb to a higher and better plane of existence and civilization. If the method used in forming the Progressive party really is bosslsm then I am the worst boss in that party. I am very glad to plead guilty to the charge of having written the paragraph in our chairman's call providing for organizing in that manner. Mr. Ray K. Shiveley's explanation of that method is substantially correct. It did provide that the district chairmen of the Progressive party could appoint the county chairmen and that these county chairmen could appoint the precinct committeemen. The district chairmen had already been appointed by the state chairman under the instructions of the Progressive mass meeting held in Indianapolis on July 3, for the purpose of forming the new party. This procedure was adopted because the Progressives are not so softheaded as to believe that the Republican party "no longer tolerates bosses." You can not verbally club away the existence of Kealing, Watson and Fairbanks, bosses of the Republican party in the state of Indiana. Nor did we forget the existence of Taggart, boss of the Democratic party in the state of Indiana, Mr. Marshall's guardian angel. Therefore, in view of the fact that the Progressives had no poll books showing the true Progressives in each voting precinct of Indiana, a form of organization was adopted that would and did prevent the bosses of the two old line parties controlling th,e Progressive organization. This they could have done easily had our party organized along the usual lines. Your bosses would have packed the Progressive precinct meetings in their rotten borough strongholds Buch as Indianapolis, Terre Haute or Evansville, and would have been in a position from the start to handicap and enfeeble the Progressive movement in this state. Call it bosslsm if you like. When you 'do, however, it looks like soreheadism on your part because your bosses and those of the Democrat party, those star actors in the great bi-partisan tragedy, were checkmated. It would have been bosslsm of the rankest kind if after we had organized along these lines we had adopted the platform of boss-sustaining provisions that your boss-controlled state convention recently adopted. We, however, proved the sincerity of our intentions by just four provisions in our Progressive state platform. Three of these are the initiative, referendum and recall. The fourth provides that all party organizations shall be made by the voters at a primary to be held for all parties on the same day. This will not only assure Progressives against bosses controlling their party organization but it will also give Republicans and Democrats an equal chance to purge their party organizations of the bosses that have fattened there so many years.

The recollection of the Connersville congressional convention of 1910 does not fail me. Accompanied by the men you mention, who were Ed Harris and Carl Bernhardt as well as Charles Morgan, I did go to that convention. And while there I did do my utmost to obtain Resolutions setting forth the true feelings of the Republicans of Wayne county. I failed, chiefly because Mr. James E. Watson had each member of the resolutions committee, save Mr. Morgan of Wayne, come to his room In the MacFarlane Hotel and told them they would have to support the resolutions he had drawn up. Needless to say his resolutions strongly indorsed President Taft and praised highly the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill. The latter was not surprising considering that Mr. Watson had just returned from Washington where he was credited with having cleaned up $85,000 lobbying for high tariff schedules for the big interests, to the exclusion of any feeling of responsibility for the interests of the poor consumers of the district he so nobly misrepresented in congress in former years. If you will remember Mr. Barnard was the successful candidate before that convention for renomination as the Republican candidate for congress. Mr. Barnard, who had obeyed the whip of James E. Watson during the tariff session and voted for many of the obnoxious sections of the Payne-Aldrich bill and, finally, for the bill itself, was defeated. Who then had the best Interests of the Republican party at heart, James E. Watson or myself?

You are mistaken when you say "the only basis for your contention that your party was not fairly treated by the Board of Commissioners is that you are about to be defrauded by the Republicans ." In the first place our forefathers, whose actions as establishing precedents you so greatly admire, laid down the fundamental rule that they would not stand for taxation without representation. They fought seven years to establish that principle and finally succeeded at Yorktown. In this kindlier age when ballots and not bullets sometimes count, we Pregressives say we want representation when our ballots are cast. Under the present state law, which your Republican bosses as well as the Democrat bosses passed for their self protection, we are denied the representation that is our inherent right as citizens of this republic. Therefore when we asked the county commissioners to allow the election inspectors to be Progressives, knowing that the two sets of clerks and judges would be respectively Republican and Democrat, we felt we were asking no more than was our right. Evidently the commissioners felt so too, for they promised to appoint Progressive inspectors. Naturally we feared the worst when these commissioners, regarding lightly their promises, Anally refused to appoint the Progressives, and especially so when we learned that they had been solicited to do this by you local Republican bosslets under Instructions from the real bosses at Indianapolis. You ask me if I think it imminent or probable that the Progressives will suffer a criminal loss of votes through the voting booths being absolutely in the control of Republican inspectors and Republican and Democrat judges and clerks. I will reply in typical Yankee fashion by repeating the question asked by my esteemed contemporary, "Why did you deny the Progressives their only chance of representation if no wrong was intended?" Furthermore the dilemma that exists is not of the Progressives' making They know that your Republican bosses at the Republican national convention perpetrated the rankest kind of fraud and theft. They know that already 4,000 cases of illegal registration have come to light in Terre Haute, the home of Crawford Fairbanks, the Democrat brewer-boss, and that some 500 men are already under indictment there for their share in this crime. Is it any wonder that we Progressives, enlightened as to the true rottenness of existing economic and political conditions, knowing that our fight if successful this year means the utter elimination of the whole boss system in Indiana, the dragging away of wealth engorged human hogs from the feed trough they have monopolized so many years that they have come to regard themselves as possessing a vested property right to it is it any wonder that we are suspicious of the bi-partlzan gang that, masking Itself under two separate party names, will nevertheless control the election machinery of this state when their rule or ruin policy is finally challenged and the ruin about to be brought home on their heads? The dilemma exists for the Progressives and the bi-partizan bosses alike. If your bosses have suddenl y been made over into honorable and fairminded men then we have nothing to fear. Such men would never order the men under them to win at any cost even that of becoming a criminal. If they are still the men who stole and pilfered at Chicago and instigated the registration frauds at Terre Haute then God alone knows what will happen in the election booths their men will be in control of on election day though the Progres sives, not being a race of easily blarneyed sap-heads, have an inkling. A nd the existence of this dilemma shows we are right in our contention that we should be represented by those whose interests would be our interests when the votes are cast. The Progressives know that this situation means they will have to look to their ballots very carefully. They know that the ballot marked for a straight party vote stands less chance of being thrown out than one that is so scratched as to give the Progressive party the big end and the bi-partlzan bosses the little end. This much you have done for us. In conclusion let me urge you to continue flying valiantly to the defense of the boss-controlled party of which you are a member. I so like the opportunity you thus give me to explain the cause I love and believe in, the Progressive, that you need never postscript another of your articles with "you have leave to print this if you so desire. If you do not, I shall print it elsewhere." That is so typical of Shiveleyism, of bluff and bluster, that, were I you, I d take the tip for the sake of the judgment the people of this good community pass upon all of us and leave It off. JR. G. LEEDS.

Two Years Ago Indiana Republicans in 1910, led by Albert J. Beverldge, refused to indorse the Taft administration because the Taft administration had refused to carry out Republican pledges made in good faith In 1908. If Republicans of Indiana had indorsed Taft in 1910, Albert J. Beveridge would have refused to run for re-election to the United States. This has been proved conclusively. The voters of many states made

plain in 1910 what they thought of the j

lart administration and what they : thought of Taffs repudiation of the I 1908 platform. It was that year which ; saw the big Democratic landslide

which threw the House Democratic where it had been overwhelmingly Republican before. Indiana escaped the Democratic

landslide because of the fact that she '

refused to accept repudiation of pledges as the true test of Republicanism. Indiana Republicans went through the campaign of 1910 in good shape because they were progressive

and were progressively led by Beveridge, and because they did not indorse the Taft repudiation cf party pledges. In district after district where Taft followers ran for congress they were overwhelmed by the rebuke of the people at the polls. Beveridge, the Progressive, who made the fight for honest revision of the tariff in accord with the Republican platform, was given a large vote, and was only beaten by the treachery of the old guard which now rallies under the Taft repudiation and fraud flag.

"I nearly fell dead," said George W. Perkins, "when I got the money back from Senator Beveridge . It was the first time I ever knew of any public man, running for office or otherwise, returning a dollar that he got his hands on." This act has put Senator Beveridge in a class by himself. He 1b classed as "one man in a million."

Assas&inB may come and assassins may go, but Roosevelt and Beveridge go on forever gaining popular favor. With Roosevelt it was a case of attempted assassination of body. . Here in Indiana with Beveridge, it is a case of plain attempt at assassination of character. All of the would-be assassins are not yet behind the bars.

Dr. Wilson has been asked some embarrassing questions on the matter of the subjugation or destruction of law-breaking trusts. He comes from New Jersey, mother of trusts. For two years he has been governor in that state. His state constitution gives him power to go after trusts. He has done nothing. He cannot excuse himself by saying that the New Jersey legislature was divided. Sincerity of course would have proceeded to seek remedy for trust evils, and courage would have put the question before that divided legislature, giving the legislature responsibility for failure to act. Wilson has failed to meet the trust problem in its home. What would he do as president?

Perhaps James A. Hemenway will rise and tell who raised the money that was used in making him a United States Senator. Or, if Mr. Hemenway forgets, perhaps Captain Harry S. New, who also sought the senatorBhlp at the same time, might be able to throw some light on the Hemenway fund. The story was that New, as national committeman, and acting-national chirman, wishing Indiana to make a good showing, raised $75,000 and turned it in to the state committee. It is related that $35,000 of this sum so turned -in by New, was used in electing legislators pledged in advance to vote against New and for Hemenway for United States Senator.
