A Woodrow Wilson Principle The Democratic party must, in the campaign of this year, lean heavily on the record of the national administration, which has been ably

and truthfully summarized in a pamphlet enti

tled "A Record of Achievement." But for that record the party would be poor, indeed. With it,

the party is rich. But there are certain parts of it that are a crushing rebuke to the Democratic party in certain states Indiana among them. For instance, we have this extract from the

President's speech of acceptance: We represent the desire to set up an unen

tangled government, a government that can not

be used for private purposes, either in the field

of business or in the field of politics ; a government that will not tolerate the use of the organization of a great party to serve the personal aims and ambitions of any individual, and that will not permit legislation to be employed to further any private interest. For two years the Democratic party in Indiana and Marion county has been "used for private purposes," and has been made "to serve the personal aims and ambitions" of individuals. It has been the tool and personal possession of bosses and machinists, and the hired servant of Crawf. Fairbanks, the Terre Haute brewer. Locally it is hardly more than a conspiracy against good government, a living protest against

the principle laid down by Woodrow Wilson, and I scrupulously observed by him.

The machine that is now running things in Indiana is utterly without sense of shame. We see it in finest flower in Terre Haute, whose mayor, Donn Roberts, is high in the councils of the gang. But Indianapolis is not far behind, and is rapidly closing the gap. We have here as mayor a man who was nominated at the rottenest primary that the town, up to that time, had known, a man who had been for years the personal representative of Uncle Crawf. The present county ticket was nominated by the same gang, at a primary that was even rottener, if that be possible, than the one that nominated Bell. And at the head of the state ticket is Homer Cook, another machinist, the man who, as speaker of the late house of representatives, signed, and certified, as passed, bills that had been indefinitely postponed. He is, as every one knows, preeminently, the Taggart candidate.

Mr. Wilson's ideal is "an unentangled govern

ment." Government in Indiana is so tangled up with business interests and personal ambitions

that it is impossible to separate them even in thought. Mr. Wilson's ideal is "a government that will not tolerate the use of the organization of a great party to serve the personal aims and ambitions of any individual, and that will not

permit legislation to be employed to further any private interests." The Democratic party in Indiana is not much

more than an annex of the Crawford Fairbanks brewery. Even now the bosses are "arranging" for the nomination of a state ticket two years hence, Taggart having decided that Billy O'Brien shall be the candidate for the governorship. The rank and file of the party have no influence whatever in the management of its affairs. Even the Governor, who was the Taggart candidate, seems to have lost interest in starting on the road to the penitentiary "the consummate scoundrel" who put through the Lake county recorder bill. Such is the organization that will appeal to Woodrow Wilson's wholly admirable record as an argument for continuing it in power ! Indianapolis News.

T. C. Hubbard, treasurer of the Riverside park concert, has a balance on band of several dollars, which is deposited in bank as a nucleus for a permanent fund for further dump campaigns. Anyone wlBhing to contribute can notify T. C. Hubbard, 117 Main street, West Richmond. Edgar Iliff has submitted the following:

"Mr. Bavls says that I am a political trap-setter. Well. I used to try to catch birds by putting salt on their tails but I gave It up. When I got older, I trapped fowls of the air and beasts of the field, such as snow-birds, red-birds, robins, rabbits, ground-hogs, musk-rats and whang-doodles. Of course, being a trapper, I am now ambitious for larger game, and it would afford me great pleasure to trap a real, live, big,' fat and juicy bull-moose. "I hope that I will get one before the species is utterly extinct. I don't want any taxidermized bull-moose. I want a live one or none. . "Mr. Bavis and Mayor Robbins should not try to trap the people by the free use of salt. They are talking about a cost of $35,000 for the dump. They began with $12,000, then had it up to $15,000, then to $20,000, then $35,000, and finally Mayor Robbins put the figure before council at $40,000. In a month the price will be a hun

dred thousand! Such is the power of

the imagination when little children get scared. "Once more. City Attorney Bond

has been sauare and honest and has

J said openly and frankly that this city

can issue bonds to purchase the dump

site without one cent's increase in the tax note. He has never retreated one inch from his first declaration to this effect. Now all this talk about an

enormous increase in the tax note to

buy a dump that not long ago could

have been bought for $6,000 is the merest subterfuge. Of course, the higher value Mr. Bavis and Mayor Robbins put upon the dump, the more

the dealers are encouraged to ask. And who can blame them? Did you ever hear of a horse-buyer boosting the price on an animal he expected to buy? "We are not asking for a park with a well-stocked zoological garden, ponds full of swans, long-legged flamingoes, fancy monkeys, anthropoid apes, lion cages, boa-constrictors and three or four elephants. The dump Is now well stocked with animals in the shape of four million rats who have amused the people all summer by running across their verandas, where the ladles could play lawn tennis with them by the free use of carpet beaters. We only ask that the city buy this dump before the administration booms the price up to the value of Lincoln park in Chicago. Just buy the land while It is cheap and sow a little grass .seed.

That's all. The rest will follow."

WEALTH OF FRANCE LENDS ADVANTAGES FOR LOjUMLICT Prof. Hugo Thieme Points to Financial Independence of French Over German Dependence. The great wealth which France has amassed in the years which Germany has spent in increasing armament and training every citizen to be a soldier will be of advantage to France if the

war between the two countries is of

long duration, is pointed out by Prof. Hugo P. Thieme of Ann Arbor, who arrived for a short visit with his

father-in-law Dr. J. M. Thurston yesterday after fifteen months in France. Prof. Thieme 6aid: "In the Bank of France alone, the resources are equal to the resources of the triple alliance, Germany, Austria and Italy. While France has been becoming immensely wealthy, the Germans have been developing their army. Germany has reached its zenith in military preparation and could develop no farther. "It tried three months ago to float

a 250,000,000 franc war loan equal to : .,00,000,000 but ranee blocked the j move. Every year that war was pre- j pared for, France has been gaining , over Germany in wealth. Germany has been steadily becoming more inde- j pendent in a military way and more j dependent financially. Forced Into War. j "Germany took advantage of interlor conditions of other countries in declaring war. In France, there was the Cailleaux murder case. In England, there was the Ulster trouble. Russia had Interior strikes to contend with. So these countries feel that they have ; been forced into war. In the atmosphere there can be felt the attitude of . defense. "The French people have met the crisis with more resignation, with even temper and fortitude and faith in ultimate success. There is no bewailing. The people are cheerful. At the same time they are never vaunting. They are not overconfident or boasting. They do not say they will win but say they will do their best to . win. "One lesson can be learned from experiences of Americans in Europe. That is that American men are not as courteous to women as they are given credit for being. While some did have trouble in France it was their own fault and due to their own foolhardiness entirely. We found unlimited ho-: tel quarters. Some of the American !

women, when they found that the hotels were short of help, volunteered to

act as their own maids in the hotels and to do service for themselves that they had generally required hotel servants to perform."

SPARTANSBURG

To the Editor of the Palladium:

In reading the Palladium the other

evening, I noticed an article saying the Commissioners of Wayne County had refused to grant the prayers of the petitioners of Wayne and Boston

Townships, calling for elections to

vote subsidies to aid in the construc

tion of an interurban line from this city to Hamilton, O. I was quite surprised at the action of the Commis

sioners as it had been my impression that they were elected to obey the

voice of the people. The Commission

ers are oath-bound to do their whole duty within the law. The law they were sworn to carry out says that if a required number of freeholders in a township petition the County Commissioners to call an election in said township for specific purpose of voting a subsidy to a proposed traction line, the commissioners have no other alternative but to obey the petitioners and call an election. Then the subject is up to the voters of the township. If a majority of the voters want a traction line, and say so by their vote, the township must pay the subsidy. If a majority is against voting a subsidy, then the reverse is the case. But the people must decide that matter for themselves. They have placed the County Commissioners In office and pay them to look after their interests.

A new traction line is one of the interests in which the people of Wayne and Boston Townships are now interested.

The Commissioners have told the freeholders in plain words they were a lot of non-entities and needed guardians. These three men, known In common parlance as Commissioners, tell the freeholders to attend to other affairs and not take so much interest In

things for the betterment of the whole community. Will, the people stand

for It? It looks to us as if the Rich

mond-Hamilton Traction Co. were men of means and backbone for they have

mandated the commissioners, and Saturday they must appear before

Judge Fox and show cause why the

prayers of the petitioners of Wayne and Boston Townships were not granted as petitioned for. Then again, how do you, dear tax payers, like the attitude of the County Attorney defending Commissioners who have violated their oath of office? Isn't It farcical to say the least. Paid Commissioners refusing to listen to the wants of freeholders, thus violating a statute regular law breakers the same as any other citizen who commits a misdemeanor and a paid attorney defending them because they have violated the law. Ye gods, whither are we drifting? All citizens who are interested in this traction line subject should at

tend the hearing at the court house, Saturday. JUSTICE.

Other Reasons Why You Should Patronize the City Light Plant What the City Light Plant Represents in Actual Cash The cost of construction and bringing the plant up to its present state of efficiency, has involved an investment of $400,000.00. Its present value, less depreciation is $3 1 8,000.00.

Out of the Total Cost there is outstanding as a debt, bonds to the amount of $1 39,000.00, of which amount there is now in the sinking fund to pay those bonds, over $30,000.00.

What This Means to You What does this mean to you? It means that the plant, while reducing the cost of electricity to you, has paid off by its own earnings nearly $300,000.00 of its total cost.

Without the City Plant this $300,000.00 would have been paid in dividends to a private corporation.

Since the City Plant has made possible cheap electric light and power, at the same time has added to the possession of the city nearly $300,000.00, is it not worthy of whole-hearted support from every loyal citizen of Richmond? Patronize
