Watson P. O'Neal for Council Saturday night the city councilmen at a special session will elect a successor to the late Harry Kauffman, representative from the sixth ward. Some man from that ward will be selected for the office and the Palladium believes the councilmen would make no mistake if Watson P. O'Neal was chosen, although other good citizens have been mentioned for the position. The Palladium bases its advocacy of the election of Mr. O'Neal on his experience as a city official and the excellent record he made several years ago, both as a member of council and as a member of the board of public works. Mr. O'Neal has a keen insight into city affairs, takes an interest in this kind of work and would give his constituents intelligent, practical and willing service. The Public Library Practical publicity in this age of publicity is as necessary to the public library as to any other institution which seeks to accomplish the best results and to make itself a community influence. This fact was aptly set forth yesterday by Carl Bernhardt in an address delivered before the librarians summer school at Earlham college. The Morrisson-Reeves librarian, Mrs. A. L. Bernhardt, thoroughly understands the importance of the library's co-operation with the press to the end that the library's public will understand and interest itself in the work that the institution is engaged in and is planning for. For some time the Palladium has published every

local library. This library column is prepared by Mrs. Bernhardt and it has proved very beneficial to the institution and useful to the public. Mrs. Bernhardt has also been doing excellent work by her co-operation with those engaged in public works. If County Agriculture Agent Cobb launches a campaign for the improvement of the county's corn crop, Mrs. Bernhardt takes occasion to inform the public of the best books obtainable at the library on scientific corn growing; if the pi;b!ie is interested in the subject of a franchise

He is an insult to every working man Changing a public library from a drear, j and working woman. He is labor's enemy. He is a demaaustere institution conducted for the benefit of isogne in the cap of bells of the fool. He is the most a select few to an enterprising, progressive insti-' atroclous self-seeker in the world.

tual shams do not know that the highest culture springs from that divine kinship to the heart of humanity such as was felt by Shakespeare, Dickens, Thackeray, Harriet lieecher Stowe and Robert Burns. They prate of Ibsen and Omar Khayyam and adore the priest of pessimism, Schopenhauer. They are steeped in fads and all of their talk is conceived in faddism and born in silliness. Of all the shams the intellectual sham is the most hopeless. When the Greeks said that the gods could prevail against every power on earth except human stupidity they meant these intellectual fools of life. You feel like flying away and sitting with the man who lives in the hollow tree and hear something real. The man who sits all day mending the highways knows some real things and it is a pleasure to hear him talk even if it is only about weather signs. Never turn your guns upon the unlettered. They are honest and do the best they can. Sometimes they are wiser than the children of light, like dear old "Peggothy" in "David Copperfield." Everyday, common sagacity, mother wit and horse sense beat "culture" like the tortoise did the hare. Load your guns with scrap-iron, spikes, dead cats and rotten eggs for the shams who talk in the superlative about things they know nothing of, who despise the common herd, and who look wise as if they really believe the mantles of the sages of old have fallen upon their shoulders. They have no halos around their heads and carry no diplomas from the Seven Wise Men. They are shams. Once a learned professor, who could not talk in private without seeming to be addressing a Sunday school convention, was called upon to give his opinion on a committee report. He said: "I am unalterably persuaded that this documentary report is full, voluminous, exhaustive, copious, and adequate. It is, in a word to speak more consisely, relevantly ample, abundant, plentiful; and to speak more fully, it is plenteous, rich and overflowing and exuberantly indubitable. Perhaps Mr. Perkins who is with us this evening has something to say upon the document submitted to us," and he smiled the smile of the whole curriculum upon poor Perkins. "It's all damn rot," growled Perkins, and the meeting heaved a sigh of relief, rejected the report, and canonized Perkins on the spot by electing him president. This professor of the unknowable was fully qualified to preside over an If Club, for he was always straddling ifs and whys and balancing his great brain like Blondin oh the tight rope over Niagara. He was at home on such statements as Alcott's "The actuality is the thingness of the here." He could debate fluently such questions as, "Why is existence?" He was "deep versed in books but shallow in himself." From such shams robust natures flee as from the day of wrath to come and rugged profanity loses all its terrors. Let us swear. And then we have the eternal pious sham who measures all other men by a two-foot rule but carries a heart of duplicity under a cloak of moral rectitude. Was there ever such a sham as the man who pretends that the

schemes? He goes about representing a stock company in which he and God are the only share-holders, he of course holding the common voting stock. When he prays he schemes and asks God to guide and direct him but takes good care to pull the wires himself. When you hear such humbugs exhort you want to go out and do something real wicked for a change. An old Norse chief said to the missionaries who tried to pump him full of ghost stories: "I believe in neither gods or spirits but in my good right arm." That was real. No sham. And the labor'sham, too he who poses as the apostle of labor, the working man's friend. He shrieks in his

FLOOD TEMPERANCE LITERATURE FOUND Placed in Rural Route Boxes And Is Now At Local Post Office

Officers at the postofflce have on hand a pile of temperance magazines and literature that they do not know what to do with. The other day some one scattering the literature went down the Arba pike, putting a mazazine in each rural mail box. This is against the rural route regulations, and the carriers were instructed to gather up all such matter r'aced in the boxes and bring it to the postoffice. Postage is them collected on it. But in this case the person who placed the literature in tne boxes is not known. Lawrence Handley, who is making an inspection of the rural routes, says the roads are in bad condition, not having been repaired since the floods. Bridges are out on all the roads. In many places, Mr. Handley states that hunters have been shooting holes in the letter boxes. This offense is punishable by fine.

CORN

IS PLENTIFUL

But Tomatoes At Local Market Are Scarce.

The local fruit and vegetable market is very satisfactory in some respects, while in others it is not so good. Green corn is plentiful and of good quality and ordinary price, while tomatoes, although good in quality, are as yet scarce and high in price. Watermelons are good sized and of excellent quality, but it is almost impossible to secure good nutmeg melons. Apples are plentiful and shipped peaches are unusually good. Lemons and oranges are scarce and of a very inferior quality.

THIS WORLD OF SHAMS

"ALL SORTS" By Edgar 1 1 iff APLliP behind the throne might show us with what little wisdom this world is governed and how much the glory and glitter of life are only tinsel and spangles. The most exalted king on earth is only human and is never a hero to his valet. Sham and snobbery veneer life from the kitchen to the throne. They touch every station from poor to rich. They infest the house of feasting and the house of mourning and follow us from the cradle to the grave. Once a poor London woman had a son who lay sick unto death. The charity doctor continually gave her money to buy nourishing wine for the boy, believing It would save him. But the woman, under the terrific pressure of a conventional world, hid the money in a cracked teapot on the mantel, and when he died she paid for extra plumes on his hearse that she might show her tenement house neighbors her eminent respectability and dream of how they envied her. Thus shams are cruel. Thackeray, the master satirist of our shams and follies, has turned the searchlight on us all in his "Vanity Fair." He shows us the infinite cruelties of social shams in the career of "Becky Sharp" and the contemptibly mean "Crawley" family. Poor old "Major Dobbin" is the only real thing in the book and his sterling character has won the love of the novel-reading world. But hundreds of such satires can not sound the depths or encompas the width of our social, political and religious shams. Max Nordau wrote a startling and terrific book called "Conventional Lies of Modern Civilization," but it does not exhaust the subject by any means. Now there is the man who discourses tearfully upon the evils of drink but screws his courage up to the sticking place by secret visits to the corner cupboard, and who tarries long at the demi john when it is full. He can speak in long meter and loud pedal voice, and soar to the skies in his oratory, upon the down-trodden people, but neglects to pay his washwoman and squeezes the life out of those he hires. He can tell you of needed reforms for social uplift, but he shares notes, trades upon men's distress, is pitiless to the unfortunate, evicts the poor without mercy, and turns every crank and cog and wheel for his own gain. This is the sham typified in the well known characters of Moliere's "Tartuffe" and Dickens' "Uriah Heep" and "Pecksniff." And there is your literary sham the literati, the pretenders of culture. They journey through this vale of snobbery upon their affected "culture." They feel bored in the company of "common" people. They assume that the "ignorant classes" tire them with their bad grammar. They whine about the penalty they pay for being "Intellectual." It separates them and sets them apart and they are as lonesome as Prometheus on the barren rock. They claim that brain-power exalts them so that life ceases to be interesting. Well, isn't it awful to have a brain and not know how to mingle it with the heart? Mother Nature gave us brains but put no stamp or guarantee upon a single one of them. These" in tellec-

fawns on the unwashed, the Idle, the shiftless, the "Rough Riderhoods" of life. He hates a clean shirt, a good coat, a full dinner pail, for prosperity ruins his occupation. The real working people of this world know him and his shadow is growing less every day. All shams are cowards. All true culture is as sound as the American dollar and has a ring of courage. You can test a man's courage by setting a dog on him, starting a woman after him, or electing him to office. If he is a sham he will show it. Politicians for revenue only finally show the white feather. They study political meteorology. They go with the weather vane. They have faith in neither themselves nor the great heart of humanity. Some day there is a rift in the cloud, and the sun shines through, and the politician for hire is exposed in all of his mean shams. Then he appears, the meanest, most craven, most craving, most cowardly of the world's shams. There is a longing in every honest heart for something real and genuine a real friend, a real love, and real hero or heroine, a real for sure faith in something some heart of oak you can tie to and bet your last dollar on. Finding so little of the real in life, learning from experience that life is largely a mirage, a continuous performance of dissolving views, the heart turns to fiction where we in a sense realize our loftiest ideals. We walk with the good and true and faithful. Strange to say, that which we have always called fiction and imaginary satisfies the longing heart where facts fail. This is why all normal persons resort to romance and poetry and the world's great novels, and it is Just the reason that "John Halifax, Gentleman," "Jane Eyre," "David Copperfield," "The Three Musketeers" and "The Virginian," appeal so strongly to every class of readers. There is a secret something in the soul of man which responds quickly to the trumpet call of real heroism, as if within the dark chambers of memory there yet linger images of the days of old when knights were bold and women good and true. Since the first glad morn when men knew each other as friend or foe there has been need for real courage. Every day on the platform, in pulpit, in field, forest, factory or fireside, in the street, shop or office, in private life or public, there is a call for quiet heroism, and the men and women who can show it, and use it in sweetness and light, with firmness and gentleness, anj tempered with that largeness of mind and soul which nature gives to her darlings in all the walks of life from Poverty Lane to Fifth Avenue these men and women can draw to themselves the love, the suffrage, the homage, the undying memory of all who know them. But dearer to such men and women than the acclamations of the multitudes is their own sense of reality, their own consciousness of having lived their life for itself and not for a spectacle. They have welcomed life, they have no fear of living, and dread not the shadowy wings of death.
