Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A.. NYB.

LET US BE HOKE ST. To tell the truth," said my friend, I greatly prefer a book by H. G. "vTelki or Harold Bell Wright to Sha-ke--apeare." "Good!" said I. My friend is a collage graduate, a professional man and a student And, above all else, he is gives to frankness. We agreed, he and I, that In or opinion a lot of Shakespeare's stuff was bombastic, some of It silly, and that while many of bis utteFaaees were sublime and he was a matchless user of words, some of his plays were padded, and he wrote much vapid trash. Why be hypocritical? Why put Shakespeare's poorest on a plane with the highest In literature and make believe that it Is best? Myself, I am a great admirer of Hugo and Tolstoy, but I admitted to my friend that Hugo often nodded and Tolstoy wandered. The truth is Because certain authors have been put up as exemplars In writing many persons who cannot bring themselves to an appreciation of these authors are much given to lying about their preferences. And there's music. There are those who will attend the recital of a severely classical program and without understanding the music will feign the utmost admiration and personally compliment the artists. Or art. You have seen some who will go Into ecstasies of encomium over a picture or a statue, concerning which they have little real appreciation, merely because somebody has pronounced the work to be a masterpiece. Or oratory. It is easy to get the applause of the multitude for some sapient sponter of platitudes who somehow has gained the hallmark of popular favor. Let us be honest. Do not misunderstand me. There must be standards, and we should always strive for the best but Why should one simnlate an enthusiasm he does not feel? Are not honesty and sincerity of more worth than a sham reputation for excellence in matters of taste? Let us tell the truth.

Deprive Prosecutors of Fees. The Palladium is informed that before long a bill will be introduced in the legislature placing prosecuting attorneys on a straight salary basis and diverting the fees which they have been receiving into the state treasury. The idea is a good one and if the bill is satisfactory it should be passed in the interest of good government. The principal objection against a system which pays state's attorneys small salaries and permits them to receive a percentage of all fines paid in is that it encourages these officials to neglect the important cases, which, as a rule, come before the circuit courts, and devote most of their attention to the petty police cases, from which a larger harvest of fees from fines may be reaped. Practically all the criminal cases conducted in the circuit courts, if convictions are obtained, mean jail or penitentiary sentences. " Fines, if any are assessed, are rarely paid. Also the prosecution of such criminal cases as tried in the higher courts requires more time and energy on the prosecutor's part, and frequently he must employ an assistant. In the prosecution of petty cases in the police and justice's courts there are numerous instances when reprimands to the offenders are more effective than fines or jail sentences, but so long as the prosecutors are permitted to collect fees on fines there will always be the temptation for the prosecutor to seek to have the accused fined. Another fault to be found with the fee system is the not infrequent practice of attorneys, representing defendants accused of offenses which merit jail sentences, approaching state's attorneys with offers to enter pleas of guilty for their clients, providing the prosecutor will advise the court to only impose a fine. This bait to the cupidity of the prosecutor, who must live off his fees, for his salary is about on a par with the income of a street laborer, in too many instances brings the result intended by the man who offered it. Bluntly speaking such a transaction is a specie of legal graft. The office of prosecuting attorney is the most important of all county offices and should be filled by the best legal talent obtainable, but this has not been accomplished, aa a general rule, under the present fee system. Wayne county has had a number of excellent men to fill the office of state's attorney, and has now, but this county has been more fortunate than a majority of her neighbors in this respect. If the prosecuting attorneys are deprived of all fees and are given salaries which will adequately compensate them for the onerous duties they are called upon to perform it will call into the state's service better qualified men and will be, consequently, a most desirable public benefit.

QUIT CALOMEL! Thousands Are Turning from This Dangerous Drug.

A Safe Vegetable Substitute Is Olive Tablets for the Liver.

Dr. F. M. Edwards, a prominent physician of Ohio, has discovered a new laxative and liver toner in a combination of vegetable materials, mixed with olive oil, which is in effect almost exactly like the old and untrustworthy calomel, except that there are none of the' bad after effects of calomel. Dr. Edwards has long been a foe of calomel, though he recognized its value along with its dangers. His distrust of the uncertain drug eventually started him years ago towards experiments with the view of discovering a substitute, and he is today in possession of the long-sought-for combination, which is in the shape of a little sugar-coated, olive-oil colored tablet. The results of 17 years' experience and practice are embodied in these marvelous little tablets. They are called Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets. They oil the bowels, and their effect on the liver has been the means of relief to many of Dr. Edwards regular patients as well as to thousands of others who have suffered and were afraid of calomel. They are gentle in their action, yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by toning up the liver and clearing the system of harmful impurities. 10c and 25c per box.

BISHOP STUNTZ Dr. Henry C. Stuntz, who was elected a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal church at the general conference in Minneapolis last summer, was born in Erie County, Pa., January 29, 1868. He was educated at Northwestern university and at Garrett Biblical Institute and was ordained in 1SS4, when

he was sixteen years old. He went to j

India for missionary service, but his health failed and the work nearly cost him his life. He returned to America and was engaged for several years in pastorate work. He was superintendent of the Methodist mission in the Philippine Islands from 1901 to 1907. was field secretary of the board of foreign missions in 1907-8, and was assistant correspondent of the board from 1908 until his election to the bishopric. Bishop Stuntz is the author of several books, the best known of which is "The Philippines and the Far East."

A Black Eye For U. S. t ports. The greatest all-round athlete of all times, James Thorpe, an Indian student at the Carlisle school, has been declared a professional and the announcement has been made that he was not eligible to compete with the American team at the recent Olympic games in Stockholm, Sweden, where he won the title of the world's premier athlete. Thorpe has brought discredit to the entire nation by his failure to declare his ineligibility for the Olympic games and amateur sports in America have received another blackeye, for rival nations interested in athletics, especially England, have contended for years that the star American athletes are all professionals. These assertions have been vigorously denied by all sporting authorities in the United States, so the confirmation of the report that Thorpe played professional baseball in a small North Carolina league m 1S09 and 1910 casts a reflection not only on that remarkable Indian youth but all the American people, forEurope can now wink significantly and gleefully remark, "I told you bo." It is to be hoped that the Thorpe episode will result in American amateur athletic, organizations and educational institutions placing a stricter ban on professionalism. The line between sport for pleasure and sport for pay must be sharply drawn, for the prestige Thorpe has lost for this country must be won back at any cost.

If your Back Aches and Your Kidneys are Weak, Get the kidney Remedy That Has Been Proved GOOD Again and Again right here in Richmond. Richmond People Tell M:

Arc YOUR K Qiy , vvea&? HOW TO TELL First read the testimony and learn what Doan's Kidney Pills have done for others. Then if your back aches, if sharp pains strike you when stooping or lifting; if you are lame in the morning, tire too easily; if you have dizzy spells and are nervous, despondent and inclined to worry over trifles; if the kidney secretions are highly colored and full of sediment, if passages are too frequent, scanty, painful or scalding, it is likely that yoar kidneys need quick attention. Take a sample of the urine and let it stand for 24 hoars. If a sandy, brick-la6t like sediment settles to the bottom of the receptacle, there is evidence enough to suspect the kidneys.

South Fifth Street F. P. Brooks, 215 South Fifth street, Richmond, Ind, says: "We think highly of Doan's Kidney Pills and are glad to confirm our former public endorsement of them. I had pains through my back and sides and my kidneys were disordered. Seeing Doan's Kidney Pills advertised, I began using them and they made me well. Anothermember of the family who had weak kidneys and also suffered from backache used Doan's Kidney Pills and received complete relief-

North Eighth Street Mrs. Sarah Hamilton. 226 North Eighth St., Richmond, Ind.. says: "I think there is nothing equal to Doan's Kidney Pills for kidney complaint. For several years I was subject to rheumatic pains in my back and shoulders. I also had headaches and nothing helped me until I took Doan's Kidney Pills. They made me feel like a different person. I am just as willing to endorse this remedy now as I was some years ago when I first used ft."

Twentieth Street Benjamin Lunsford, Twentieth and South B streets, Richmond, Ind.. says: "The public statement I gave some years ago recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, was correct in every particular. I was annoyed by attacks of kidney complaint for fifteen years. Whenever I caught cold my back ached. Sometimes the kidney secretions were profuse. Doan's Kidney Pills checked this annoyance completely. Once or twice since then when I have taken this remedy It has done good work."

North Thirteenth Street Mrs. Ella Mlkesell. 712 N. Thirteenth street, Richmond, Ind., says: "From my own experience with Doan's Kidney Pills, I am glad to recommend them as a good kidney remedy. I had dizzy and nervous spells and my back pained me. Whenever I lifted I had sharp twinges in my loins. Finally I used Doan's Kidney Pills and they made me feel better in eterv war."

South Ninth Street C. M. Wilson, blacksmith, 220 South Ninth St.. Richmond. Ind., says: "For years I have known of Doan's Kidney Pills and it is a pleasure to let others know about them. My kidneys were irregular in action and the kidney secretions contained sediment. I had pains through the small of my back and it was hard for me to straighten after stooping. Doan's Kidney Pills made my kidneys strong and after that the pains disappeared."

' Main Street Mrs. John Morris. 43C4 Main St.. Richmond. Ind.. says: "We hav used Doan's Kidney Pills in our famijy with success and it is just as much a pleas nre to recommend them now as it was some years ago. I suffered from kidney trouble and my back ached. I was restless and moraines flt vry tired and nervous. I got my supply of Dean's Kidney Pills from A. O. Luken 4- Cos Drug Store and thy mad me well. Another member of my family was completely relieved by this preparation."
