EDGERTON ECHOES OP CHRISTMAS. Christmas la over, but the Cbristmas pplrit Is not. Tbat never dies. It goes with ns through all the year. I have run on to three stories of last Christmas that seem so good they are frrortb repeating, even at this late day. ' The first concerns a guard in the New York subway about the last place one would look for the Christmas spirit. j The other guards were tired and nappish. The people were tired and jostled and crowded each other almost spitefully. I This guard had a smile and "Merry Christmas" for everybody. He called out cheerily: "Give your fellow men a chance. Just a little peace and good will now. Remember it's merry Christmas." The crowds responded instantly. The jostling stopped. People stood aside respectfully and courteously to let others pass. They went aboard in an orderly manner. Yet by their very orderliness they were enabled to make greater haste, and this guard's plat form was cleared before the others. Not only so, but all those concerned had a little better Christmas because of the incident Another story relates to a little girl strapped to a Bedford frame in a Brooklyn hospital. There she has been for three years, suffering from curva ture of the spine. She wrote a pathetic letter to Santa Claus, appealing not only for herself, but for the other tots about her simi larly afflicted. The letter got into one of the New I York papers. From all over the land came the re sponse. Dolls and toys arrived by the score. A San Francisco lady sent a diamond ring. Another mailed a check for $300. . With her treasures about her the crippled child cried: "No one can ever have a happier Christmas than I am having right now. I am so happy I can't keep from crying," and she burst into tears. Then she gave all but a few of her precious dollies and toys to the other little cripples and sent the $300 to an old ladies' home. The third story is of a six-year-old boy in the children's home at Cincin nati. He Is placed there because his mother is employed In an office. On Tnanksptiving nay ne was given a large, luscious orange. It was reported that he had sold it and when asked the reason he said he had put the money in the bank to buy his mamma a Christmas present. "Mus be sumpin nice," he prattled. "I haven't got nobody but jus' my mamma, so it mus' be sumpin very nice." Do not these stories reflect the spirit of him who gave his name to Christmas, who taught good will and who loved little children? YESTERDAY IN THE ASSEMBLY SENATE. Shlvely-Spencer public service commission bill passed. Bill passed putting bureau of legislative information on permanent basis. Clarke bill, governing Juvenile Court of Indianapolis and increasing salary of judge passed. House bill providing for charter commission to rule on all applications for establishment of new banks kilted. Steamship ticket bill made special order for February 28. HOUSE.

WARNING TO

BY B. R. 1NMAN. INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 26. In several cities in Indiana activity is already developing in connection with the approaching municipal elections. In some of these cities the old-time bipartisan combinations are quietly planning to get in their work. Fusion is being proposed as a means, presumably to bring about better conditions. In a certain prominent city near the western side of the State subtle forces have been quietly at work for several weeks which have as the object of their efforts the nomination of a fusion ticket to be composed of Progressives, Republicans and Democrats. It is time for a note of warning to be sounded. The Progressive party must make no mistake on this question. Let it be understood once and for all that the Progressive party is op posed to fusion. It will go before the people in these municipal campaigns with full tickets composed of the best men that can be secured. It will invite the co-operation of all persons who ap preciate law and order, and who have the welfare of the community at heart. The Progressive party does not need to go outside of its own ranks to find candidates who will truly represent the people and will conduct the city administrations in a manner that will be a credit to the cities which they serve and reflect honor on the official and the party with which he is affiliated. It is not difficult to understand how It is that the Republicans and Democrats are advocating fusion in certain Indiana cities. The former organization is so completely shot to pieces that it does not have a ghost of a chance of electing its candidates. The Democratic party in some of these localities has become so completely entangled in the meshes of the brewery interests and other enemies to good government, that they fear the results of going before the people on the records that confront them. The Progressive party stands alone in its capacity to give the citizens of Indiana a clean, safe and economic adThe Theaters Gennett. . "The Sweetest Girl in Paris" is not a high-brow entertainment. Nor one designed for the amusement of a Sunday school convention. Also old things are sometimes better than new. Taking tnese as postulates the presentation of this popular musical comedy last evening at the Gennett was as successful as anything of its class here this season. Judging from its reception by the audience. The truth is this is a "girl" show. And the days of the girl show are numbered at least outside provincial Broadway. Where, according to the experts, they are largely sustained by the "rubes" from the contiguous territory. Maybe this last is true. Maybe it isn't. Maybe the girl sbow is supported by the permanent population of the metropolis, whose taste in theatrics it reflects. However this may be, its existence is menaced unless it sees the handwriting on the wall and evolves into something nearer akin to dramatic or musical conerence. "The Sweetest Girl" is typical of its class. It is frankly what it is. And therefore is to be commended for its theatric honesty. And judged from that standpoint. The writer never happens to have seen previous productions here or otherwhere and last night's performance is her only criterion. The audience seemed to enjoy it. And that is the main thing. The scenic effects, however, were good, the chorus sufficiently pulchritudlnous, the

ministration. The Progressive party was founded as a protest against the very forces that underlie every suggestion to fusion which emanates from the bosses of the two old parties. The Progressive party will continue to stand firm as a coherent force in the defense of these principles of reform which enter into the very foundation of the party's platform. In its laudable efforts to give the people the kind of municipal government that will best conduce to their happiness and prosperity, it invites the earnest cooperation of honest and patriotic men of all parties. It is unreasonable and absurd, however, to ask the party which has instituted these reforms, to repudiate its position on these great questions and join with the forces that have been a menace to the highest type of municipal government during recent years. In many instances the efforts to se cure fusion is the cunning work of crafty politicians who realize the importance of driving the Progressives from the moorings, and thereby check the uprising of popular sentiment in their favor. If the Progressive party is right in its advocacy of more righteous and economic municipal, state and national government, why should the voters of that party be expected to join with either of the old parties simply to crystalize the selfish ambitions of certain men whose only hope of being elected to public office lies in their being able to enlist the support of Progressive voters? Every city, in Indiana should nominate a Progressive ticket. The ticket so nominated should contain the names of men of integrity and whose ability to render the highest type of public service is unquestioned. With such a ticket in the field the Progressives of Indiana may depend on it that there will be no backward step in the matter of needed reforms. Let the slogan be "no fusion, no compromise and no backward step. The Progressive party is right: It must stay clear of all entangling alliances. Principle must be paramount to expediency. costumes handsome and the music lilting. The plot is less threadbare than that the ordinary musical comedy, the story being a good one, with a certain "Cobosso," an impecunious Italian tenor, as a leading principal. Mr. William Edmonds, who took this role, showed himself possessed of histronic talents, his impersonation being excellent theatrically and indicative of an appreciation of dramatic subtleties. His characterization was, in fact intensely diverting, his depiction of the selfish interest and the shrewd practicality of the Latin -which underlies his seeming but mere seeming romanticism, being well done. The genuine humour of the plot is furnished by this character. And therin lies what theatric excellence it possesses. Since its humour is a result of the action and is not extraneous thereto. Miss Florence Gear, as the aunt of "The Sweetest Girl in Paris" is a comedy actress of parts, a sort of composite photograph of Lillian Russell's : material charms and May Irwin's la conic manner. That Miss Gear has undeniable gifts as a comedian was shown in her clever burlesques of well known stage people Chauncey Olcott, Mary Garden, Anna Held, Eva Tanguay and one or two others, this part of her performance eliciting a number of recalls. The other principals were well taken including Mr. Richard Bartlett as I James Armstrong and who has a good singing voice, and Miss Eleanora Sutter as "Mary Blake," the girl in the case. E. G. W.

A WARNING TO MANY

Some Interesting Facts Regarding Health Statistics Few people realize to what extent their health depends upon the condi tion of the kidneys. The physician in nearly all cases of serious illness, makes a chemical analysis of the patient's urine. He knows that unless the kidneys are doing their work properly, the other organs cannot be brought back to health and strength. When the kidneys are neglected or abused in any way, serious results are sure to follow. According to health statistics, Bright's disease which is really an advanced form of kidney trouble, caused nearly ten thousand deaths in 1910, in the state of New York alone. Therefore, it behooves us to pay more attention to the health of these most important organs. An ideal herbal compound that has had remarkable success as a kidney remedy is Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder Remedy. The mild and healing influence of this preparation is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of cures. If you feel that your kidneys require attention, and wish a sample bottle, write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingbamton, X. Y. Mention this paper and they will gladly forward it to you absolutely free, by mail. Swamp-Root is sold by every druggist in bottles of two sizes 50c. and $1.00.

PORK BARREL. AGAIN. (Connersville News.) The Examiner says the News attacks Finly Gray for voting and working for a government building at Shelbyville while Watson was praised for voting and working for a similar building for Connersville. The Examiner misrepresents the News in this. It specifically stated that Mr. Gray was not blamable for working and voting for his own district though but a few months ago he expressed conscientious scruples against so-called "pork barrel" legislation. But Mr. Gray is not only congressman from the Sixth district but a sworn officer of the whole government. And what has he and many other northern Democratic con - gressmen done? In order to get a few thousand votes for their own respectlve districts they have voted to as I good as throw away millions of the peoples' and the nation's money to put public buildings in dozens of southern villages. The southern votes were necessary to push a pork barrel bill I through and they demanded their price, and got it. The northern members helped pay that price by voting it out of the pockets of all the people. I If Mr. Gray had not so plainly expressed himself against pork barrel legislation the sudden change in his attitude would not have appeared so striking. But he talked economy and has participated in what Washington officials openly declare was one of the worst bills ever passed. When Mr. Watson voted for a building for Connersville only towns whose revenues justified it i were given public buildings. Will the ' Examiner contend that this is true of the twenty-six million pull on the treasury in which Mr. Gray participated? j FAILURE IN SUCCESS. ! (Fort Wayne, Ind., News.) Orville Harrold, the grand opera singer, rose suddenly from the obscurity of an Indiana town to an international fame, and his achievement has been hailed as a success. And in one sense it has been a success, signal and glorious. Yet in another way it has been a failure. This feature of his achievement was made manifest to us the other day when his wife appeared as a plaintiff in a divorce case, asking separation and maintenance. She still loved her husband, she declared, but Bhe ; realized that the new life into which ' his developed talent had transferred him had weaned away his love from her forever and forever. Nothing in ; common now remained between them

and that affection that blossomed at their mating time and held them near and dear in the days of happy poverty was left to her as an apple of Sodom, dissolving into the smoke of estrangement and the ashea of anguish. An still she loved him as of old and if she knew the words of that old poem she might echo in her heart its words of pathos and of woe:

You walk the sunny side of fate; The wise world smiles and calls you j great ; The goldt-n fruitage of success Drops at your feet in plenteousness; And you have blessings manifold Renown and power and friends and gold They build a wall between us twain. Which may not be thrown down again, Alas! for I, the long years through. Have loved you better than you knew. 1 ; Your life's proud aim. your arts' high truth. Have kt pt the promise of your youth; And, while you won the crown, which now Breaks into bloom upon your brow, My soul called strongly out to you Across the ocean's burning blue, While unremembered and afar I watched you as I would a star, Through darkness struggling into view. And loved you better than you knew. THE PRAYER CENSOR. (Logansport, Ind., Reporter.) The upectacular inteiruption of a prayer by Mr. O'Neill in the opening of the senate session indicates that the presiding officer lacks the sense of absurdity which we sometimes loosely call the sense of humor. It indicates something else, and something more greviously defective in the makeup of Mr. O'Neill, and that is a sound sense of propriety. It was rather a far-fetched idea that the minister was "insulting" the senate. lie was doing nothing of the kind. Mr. O'Neill, as a matter of fact, was entirely out of order to interrupt the prayer; he had neither a legal nor a constittuional right to do so. The officiating chaplain is not under the control of the speaker of the house, more than to be designated the acting minister. It may be that the preacher went farther than Mr. O'Neill in his sensitive condition felt that he should do. but the drastic and indecorous conduct of the speaker was a greater insult to the senate than the act he censured. It was more than that; it was an insult to the state of Indiana, and brought a good deal of discredit upon the Hoosier state. The act has been carried far and wide over the nation Ik Do not allow him to persuade it, write us direct.

and the almost universal comment la derogatory to the dignity of the senate and the state. We miss our guess if Mr. O'Neill does not rue the day that he lost his decorum and his temper and violated the proprieties of ao fixed an institution as the right of prayer by the chaplain of the senate. We do not know what the religious proclivities of Mr. O'Neill are. but for his sake and the sake of the senate of Indiana we earnestly hope that no more subtle motive will be found inspiring this extraordinary act. The state, as a public, has already repudiated the conduct of the speaker of the senate, and it has done well to

do so. They will seme day Interrupt the political prayer of this religious censor. OUR TRIALS.
