"We Suffer From the Bad Citizenship of Good Men" Josiah Strong

A Universal Ferment. It has become commonplace to speak of the ferment in all lines of thought and every department of action, but it remained for Sir Oliver Lodge in a recent address to reveal the full extent of the upsets in old ideas. Very characteristically Sir Oliver himself offered one or two jolts to his scientific colleagues of the "orthodox" type but eased up the process by first reminding them that the whole world of thought is strangely moved by revolution and change. There is the conflict in physiology between those who look upon the individual as a machine and those who think of him as a "vital" being manifested through a body. Chemists are struggling with the atomic theory, some believing that atoms remain the unshakable foundations of matter while others go in for the theory that matter is merely a form of electric energy. Biologists enjoy a battle royal over the problems of heredity, while Lamarckians, Darwinians and Weissmanists are making fur fly. The educational world is a kind of intangible Mexico with every section in revolt against Aristotle and all the dear old authorities. And medicine ! Did not Norman Barnesby write a stinging book a little while ago called "Medical Chaos and Crime !" And as for politics and economics, when has the world seen the 'dismal sciences' so rent and torn with schisms and feuds? Everything in the universe from creation morn to judgment day has been placed under the microscope of modern curiosity or tossed into the seething pot of argument ! Truly we live in exciting times. Revolutions sre pulled off before breakfast and dynasties go down at dusk. Maps have become fluid and nobody under heaven can tell what the end will be. We will not even be surprised if Richmond gets a new mayor.

Muscle Vs. Physique. Those familiar with the old ideas of physical culture know the aspiration of the gymnastic youth was to develop big biceps and make his muscles stand out in ridges. Sandow and the Terrible Turk were the models which inspired the effort to lay on as large a layer of beef on the bones as possible. Heavy apparatus was used and it was supposed every conscientious gymnast would gladly work at weights and pulleys and other ponderous machines until overcome with weakness or fatigue. That ideal is passing. It was discovered that one may become wonderfully muscle bound and yet be a weakling. A startlingly large number of the foremost "strong men" passed away with tuberculosis while countless other athletes were snapped up by heart trouble or typhoid. Even now we read that Ralph Rose, the world's champion shotputter, lies in his San Francisco home at the point of death from typhoid. This big giant hasn't revealed the vitality found in many slender school girls. The new ideal is to develop not muscles but vitality, not biceps but physical efficiency. When a man had to catch and slay his dinner with his own hands to be endowed with Sandow's muscular apparatus was very desirable but in our complex modern times such a physical outfit will not meet the changed conditions. A wiry, quick, and not too ponderous physique is far more necessary than eighteen inch biceps or a fifty inch chest.

Autumnal Life. That poet who greeted autumn with the line, "The melancholy days have come, the saddest of the year," trusted a temporary mood too much and observation too little. More to our taste are the words of that militant, high soul, Richard Watson Giider. sings. "For autumn days To me not melancholy are, but full Of joy and hope, mysterious and high ; And with strange promise rife." This is more just. To a healthy spirit autumn is anything but melancholy and has a beauty and a glow as vivid and rich as the spring itself. Flower lovers have goldenrod, gentians, Joe Pye weed, evening primrose, the purple burning iron weed, dozens of varieties of aster, and a score or more of fall blossoms to revel in, while the artist soul enjoy the very feast of all the seasons. Sunsets are splendid, landscapes are softened and subdued, skies are tender, and farms and farm buildings more picturesque than at any other time. Beyond this, nature's life reaches its grand climax when grasses and plants grow sere and

brown. As every naturalist knows each plant's entire life plan is to reproduce itself. To store its strange vital essences in a thousand tiny Beed packages seems to engross the vegetable soul from April until fall. To this end moths and bees are sedulously courted, blossoms are built on strange patterns, perfumes are manufactured, nectar is distilled and the entire anatomy of the plant designed and executed. It develops unique and unheard of schemes for worsting insect foes, crushing hoofs, and hungry mouths that it may some day throw its store of seeds into the air or on the ground. Therefore nature is never more alive than when, after petals have faded and leaves fallen, she hangs from bare branches her myraid3 of seeds and spores. That is her success, her aspiration and her one desire. It is in autumn that she rises to the very culmination of her existence and exhibits the success of the months' travail. Never is she more alive than now nor more worthy of human comradeship.

AN AUTUMNAL REVERIE

Washington Times. People who have traveled abroad and then returned to this country have seldom failed to note that the methods of our customs administration seem peculiarly adapted to make every traveler hate the tariff law. An application of American methods at every international boundary in Europe would drive away travelers and their money. The customs inspectors at a European post conduct their inquiry on the assumption that travelers are gentlemen and ladies; the presumtion of our laws seems to be that every traveler is a probable smuggler, who must prove his innocence. The effect of such a system is first to arouse antagonism, a perfectly human desire to "beat the game." A shipload of Americans on the return voyage from Europe will te pretty certain to find a leading conversational topic in the boorishness of the American customs. A particularly pat example was afforded in the very first hours of the new Underwood law's enforement. The law contains a flat prohibition against bringing in plumage of wild fowls. It became law at 9:10 Friday evening. Bright and early Saturday morning the customs inspectors on the New York piers were receiving incoming travelers and enforcing this anti-plumage provision right up to the handle. True, it was not law when these travelers left home, or when they sailed from the other side. No difference; the woman with an aigrette must have it snipped off at the pier by an inspector, who didn't enjoy the duty any more than she did his performance of it. The law was the law. We venture with confidence that there is not another customs system in the world that would do such a thing. Just such boorish and offensive inflictions have done more to injure the tariff system, becloud its excellences, create blind prejudice against it, than anything else. Hundreds of thousands of travelers pass our customs every year, and a great proportion of them escape from the experience with a prejudice that libraries of political economy could not eradicate. The woman whose aigrette is confiscated will feel that she has been punished for smuggling. Sho knows she has done nothing wrong; and from that day she will be indisposed to see any moral wrong in smuggling. The whole business is demoralizing.

A RECEIPT FOR SALAD

To make this condiment your poet begs The pounded yellow of two hard-boiled eggs; Two boiled potatoes, passed throught kitchen sieve, Smoothness and softness to the salad give; Let onion atoms lurk within the bowl, And, half suspected, animate the whole; Of mordent mustard add a single spoon, Distrust the condiment that bites so soon; But deem it not, thou man of herbs, a fault. To add a double quantity of salt; Four times the spoon with oil from Lucca crown, And twice with vinegar, procured from town; And lastly, o'er the flavored compound toss A magic soupcon of anchovy sauce. O green and glorious! O herbaceous treat! 'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat; Back to the world he'd turn his fleeting soul, And plunge his fingers in the salad-bowl; Serenely full, the epicure would say, "Fate cannot harm me I have dined to day." Sydney Smith.

17,000 Hoosiers to Pay an Income Tax

The day of the Income tax is at hand. Seventeen thousand Hoosiers must toe the mark by June 30, of next

year with all the way from J10 to 1

$2,000 as a tribute on their incomes. On incomes between $3,000 and $20,000, unmarried persons must pay one per cent; between $20,000 and $50,000, two per cent; between $50,000 and $75,000, three pere cent, and so on up to seven per cent on sums over $500,000. Marired persons are entitled to an exemption of $4,000 instead of $3,000. He may also deduct from his income in calculating taxable amount all expenses of conducting husiness:

interest paid on indebtedness; taxes j .-. : .1 . i VN

iaiu vwiiuu 3 tar; losses noi covered by Insurance; worthless debts charged off during year; dividends from companies already taxed, and interest on municipal, state, or government bonds. Representative Hull, of Tennessee, father of the law, estimates a revenue of one hundred million annually from the tax. When it is recalled that tariff revenues have never exceeded 330 million, the magnitude and impor

tance of the income tax will be appreciated. It is estimated 1.500 extra officials will be required to collect the taxes at an annual cost to the federal" government of one and a quarter million. Income banks will be distributed through post-offices and other federal agencies. These will contain all necessary information but any person not receiving one will not be exempt from payment. The law requires that all concerns having employes eligible to taxation shall deduct the amount from pay envelopes and make affadavit to the federal revenue collector of the amount. This applies where one comes under the $20.0i0 limit covered by one per cent; the "sur tax" as the amount over one percent is called, must be paid direct by the individual. The first assessment will be made by March 1, of l'.14. covering the period between March 1, 1913 and December 31. of same year. Taxes must be paid before June 30. 1914. A fraudulent return or attempt to evade the tax make sthe guilty party liable to a fine of $2,0frt, or a year in the penitentiary, or both.

Colored People Get Share, Says J. A. Reed

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

GREAT EXPECTATIONS. Indianapolis News. The new tariff, it is said, is expected to compel improvement in efficiency of management in some of the manufacturing industries which is another thing that has been urgently needed for a long time.

John A. Reed, in a communication to The Palladium, takes exception to tne statement of Mr. Richardson, a colored attorney, that members of his race are not given a fair representation on the city pay roll, and that the election of the Republican candidate means more colored persons drawing city salaries. Mr. Reeid's observations follow: "I see in an interview in your paper some time ago from a Mr. Richardson, a colored gentleman and an attorney-at-law. Now, it has been my privilege to know Mr. Richardson quite well, and I know him to be one of the most estimable colored men of our city, and also very highly educated, but for all that he is very far from being in the right on our city government. His idea of how to benefit the colored people of Richmond are very, very far from being correct. "Now, Mr. Richardson, if you would only see the conditions in the right light and get away from that idea of Zimmerman being the only man for the colored people, you would do your race of people far more good. "Take, for instance, the very home ii- which you now dwell, and by voting for the Progressive party you will bring about cheaper light, and cheaper fuel and cheaper water, and a reduction in taxes, and consequently cheaper rent. Have you not then benefitted the colored population of the city as a whole, far more, than a score of city jobs for colored men. Proportion Large. "Then again, there are now as many or more names of colored men upon the city pay roll, than those of white men, in proportion to the number of voters of each race. "Mr. Richardson, get away from the Republican party of today, for it is but the wagging tail of the 'Grand Old Party' that died from the corruption within itself. Expecting any such thing as a reduction in taxes under

a Zimmerman administration is hoping against fate, for we have tried it for twenty years and the load grows heavier. "I have no authority to speak for Mr. Robbins, but I am certain that the colored people of the city will get as much, if not more, recognition from him than from Zimmerman, and if the only hope of the colored man is in the election of Dr. Zimmerman, then of all men, they are the most miserable, for just as sure as the twilight shades gather on the coming November 4, and the rich shade of the sunset's golden rays mingle with the western creeping evening gray, and aB sure as the sun sinks that day beneath the western hills to again give birth to another new day, just that sure is Dr. Zimmerman going down in political defeat, to come back again no more forever. Bells are Tolling. "Even now. I hear the muffled vibration of his -political tolling bells; even now I hear the soft winds chanting the last sad requiem of his last fond hopes of re-election. And now. as we lay the dear doctor away in his political grave, shrouded in naught but memories of the past, we will drop the clods of his bad management, (some of which will be shown you in the columns of this paper later on) upon the bosom of his memory as softly as we know how, and as he then, with Gormon, Genn and others, mingle only in the memories of the past, then shall his rest be calm, complete and sweet, and when the books are open we earnestly hope and pray that there will be nothing therein that will bar him from the light of, day. and on Jan. 1, 1!H4, we will erect a life-size statue in the vacancy made for him by the voters of the people of the city, in the person of William J. Robbins. who will give us a good and an efficient administration in our city affairs. JOHN A. REED."

FUTURE GENERATION TO RECEIVE BENEFITS Agent Cobb Says Lectures Given Now Will Assist Children.

That the coming generation will receive the benefits of the corn lectures now being given, is an opinion of County Agent Cobb, who says school children are showing much interest in corn and agricultural lectures of all kinds. During his visits to the country schools, he has been asked questions regarding the best agricultural schools in the state, the methods and cost of attending, which, he believes, will mean a heavy increase In the number attending schools for Instruction as to fnrming methods. Many of the school children bring their fathers to attend the lectures which Mr. Cobb gives to the schools. He says Fountain City boys 6eem to be the most interested and are better posted than many others. They not only ask questions regarding the subject under discussion, but desire knowledge on every other phase of farmins known of in this country.

The growth of the Friends Mission School at Matchuala, Mexico, was outlined by Miss Sarah Lindley at on open meeting of the Friends Foreign Missionary society, 'with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Marvel Miss Lindley was assisted with the program by two Mexican girl graduates of the school, who have entered ttw freshman class of Earlham college this fall. It was announced that the- board of trustees had voted to confer an honorary scholarship each year upon a graduate of the school. For eighteen years Miss Lindley has been an instructor In the Mexican school. She outlined the rapid growth during that time, and commented on the changed attitude f the Mexicans toward the school. During the early life of the school the Mexicans were openly hostile to It. Recently they are looking more favorably on the Institutions and ita instructors. The young women who have entered Earlham this fall were graduated from the Mexican school two year ago. and since that time hare been teaching. The standard of work done is unusually high, the young women entering Earlham with regular freshman standing.

ENDORSED AT HOME

Such Proof at This Should Convince Any Richmond Citizen. The public endorsement of a local citizen is the best proof that can be produced. None better, none stronger can be had. When a man comes forward and testifies to his fellow-cltl-zens. addresses his friends and neighbors, you may be sure he Is thoroughly convinced or he would not do so. Telling one's experience when It Is for the public good is an act of kindness that should be appreciated. The following statement given by a resident of Richmond adds one more to the many cases of Home Endorsement which are being published about Doan's Kidney Pills. Read It. Mrs. John Conolly, 512 N. Sixteenth St., Richmond. Ind.. says: "While I have never had occasion to take a kidney medicine myself. I know what Doan's Kidney Pills will do. Thev were used for backache and weak kidneys and they brought relief." The above statement must carry conviction to the mind of every reader. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy ask distinctly for Doan's Kidney Pills, the same that Mrs. Conolly had the remedy backed by home testimony. 50c all stores. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Props.. Buffalo.
