MAN GET TARDY JUSTICE.

Prospects are said to be bright for
the passage, during the approach
ing session of congress, of the ON
nibus claims bill carrying large
amounts for the payment OF war
claims in every state in the south.
The justice of these claims is not
denied. Many of them have been
passed upon by the court OF claims,
and the amount due from the United
States adjudicated by that tribunal
The failure to pass the bill at the
last session of congress was due to
the efforts of the republican lead
ers TO keep down the total of appro-
priations as much as possible for
effect in the congressional campaign.
They piled up extravagant appropria-
lions for other objects, but refused
to authorize the payment of the just
debts of the government. The south
ern men in congress will also make
a determined effort to secure the
passage of the bill providing for the
refunding of the millions of dollars
illegally collected in the southern
states during the war through the
cotton tax. This money is in the
treasury, but it cannot be restored
to those from whom it was wrong
fully collected, or their heirs, with
out special authority from congress.
The passage of this bill will be an
act of tardy Justice to the south.

CITY AND RURAL PAPERS.

When you see anything agricul-
tural in the city daily you can US
ually make up your mind that it
Isn't so. A year or so ago the city
papers transformed the harmless
cabbage hair-worm into a poisonous
cabbage snake" which had danger
ously poisoned whole families.
Recently a Los Angeles, Cal, daily
printed story that the melons
grown in the melon district of that
state had been rendered dangerous
as food on account of the vines be-
ing infested by aphis. The Califor-
MIA Fruit Grower, commenting on
this report, says 1.-The apology for
a newspaper man who wrote that
story ought to be shut up in barrel
where he could do no harm and be
fed through the bung-hole until he
attains years of discretion"
The plain facts in the case are
that the average reporter of city
daily knows no more about agricul-
tural subjects than we know about
agricultural conditions on the planet
Saturn, or than the American abo-
rhymes knew about the principles of
christianity before Columbus started
out on his journey westward to dis
cover the way to the East Indies.

cur at the First Methodist church

SOME GOOD ADVICE.

Editor Ramsey of the Louisville
(GaD Post prints a timely and sen
sible editorial on the subject o
good times" We have hearC
much lately right here in Daw
son of hard times, and for the bene
fit and encouragement of local pessi
mists we print below Editor Ram
sey's sound advice:
There are some who are let
ting the short crop get too much
on their nerves. OF course 1T
would have been better II we
could have made a big crop;
better for the farmers, who are
the backbone of our industrial
system: better for all of us.
But don't let's get down in
the mouth about it. 1t means
little harder work, a little
faster pace. Perhaps we'll
make another bumper crop next
year. We can't hope to do 1t
every year.
Hard times or good times is
q question: udSCd pclA Wy VA SOAN
facts, but also based partly on
temperament We will not have
hard times if we just will not
have hard times.
Editor Glessner Of the Griffin
News takes up the subject, and as
an apostle of sunshine reads the
knockers a lesson. He says:
The trouble with too many is
their disposition to grumble and
complain and knock, even when
there are bumper crops and high
prices. There is always some
thing in morals, in politics and
in business that some OF the
chronic knockers of the commu-
nifty find fault with. But, as
Editor Ramsey truly says, the
times are all right. A little sun
shine and energy and hard work
on the part of our own people
can make them even better.
Let's make up our minds not to
have any more hard times in
the south, and as soon as this
is done by all our people we
have already half won the bat
tie.
With corn in the crib, plenty of
hay in the barn, lots of meat in the
potatoes in the bank
and a good price for cotton the
farmers and the rest of us, as
our contemporary points out, will
be able to do pretty well. And
certainly there is work in plenty at
good wages for every man who wants
to work. 1t would sound rather like
good times than hard times in any
other section of the country.

Richmond daily palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1905-1906, 1906-01-20

Illinois SportSmen are rueful over the
fine hunting territory i'll central Illinois
as a result of the decision to drain a
vast tract in TazewelI county adjoin-
ing Spring lake.
This district long has been noted as
one of the finest hunting resorts in the
west. In the Tazewell county court
recently a petition of the commission
ers in the Spring lake drainage and
levee Improvement district for modifi-
cation of the plans was approved and
permission granted to commence work
next spring The big undertaking will
cost approximately 100000, and the
territory consists of 1900 acres. This
vast tract has been under water most
of the time, due to it's location between
Spring lake and the Illinois river.
The land to be drained has been
worthless except for hunting, but will
soon become valuable for farm pur
poses and will add heavily to the land
ed wealth Of TaZewell county. The
drainage scheme also may affect
Spring lake. The channel of the lake
will be deepened and kept open for
navigation during the boating season.
At the recent meeting Of the Indiana
Intercollegiate Athletic association,
which includes the larger institutions
of the state, ruling was passed which

FIELDER.

of Indiana; financial committee, A. ?.
Jamison of Purdue and G. Nj. True
blood of Rose Polytechnic.
An important step taken at the meet
ing was the appointment of an arbitra-
tor to settle all disputes as to the eligi-
bility of the players. Professor Waldo,
who is arbitrator of the big nine,' will
act in this capacity.
There is one man in this country who
is not tickled to death at the trade
made between the Chicago and Brook
lyn clubs Of the National league, where
by Brooklyn surrendered the famous
Sheckard for four Chicago players.
This man is James Sheckard himself.
He does not feel fattered over the fact
that he is considered worth four able
bodied men in the National league and
is much wrought up over the fact that
the deal was made without the formal
ity of consulting his wishes in the mat
ter.
In short he considers that Mr.. Eb-
| bets, one of the owners of the Brook
! lyn club. gave him a raw deal when he
went ahead and made the trade with
out even sending a hint to Mr.. Sheck-
ard, the person most concerned.
| But that deal is dead one," re-
marked the great fielder, for l will not
play with the Chicago team under any
circumstances. My main reason is that
I do not care for the west and never
could do myself justice in a western
city, where the fans have peculiar ways
/ of showing their feelings during con-
tests.
UNLESS change is made in that deal
whereby | shall play with an eastern
organization l will surely be found
with the independent league next sea-
