In Order to Get Their Factory
City Must Make Addition
al Concessions.
PROPOSITION UNPOPULAR
ORIGINAL OFFER OF COMPANY
WAS MET BUT NEW CONCES-
SIoNS ASKED FOR WILL NOT
LIKELY BE GRANTED.

Remy Brothers, of Anderson, who
want to locate in this city have a re-
markable faculty of changing their
minds. The original proposition of
the company was agreed to by the
Commercial Club and the South Side
Improvement Association but no SOON
er had this been done. than the AM
derson men increased the concessions
they wanted about three fold.
In order to get the factory here, the
city will have to give 5000 in cash
two large city blocks in the Beallviewi
addition to the South side, and will
also have to subscribe to $4,000 of,
the capital stock of the company, orr
one third the actual capital Of the
company.
The original proposition met with a
good reception and was adopted at,
once. Then, the company claimed
that the site was too small and asked
to have it doubled. This was agreed
upon, practically, if the plant would
come at once. Then, the managers
stated that before the factory would
locate in Richmond, three factories
here would each have to subscribe to,
block of stock valued at So 900. This
last proposition does not look good to
Richmond and to the members of the
Commercial Club, and in all probab-
ility. the matter will be dropped and
the Remy Brothers be at liberty to 10.
cate where they please.
1t is said that the demands of the
company were far in excess of the
good that the plant will ever do Rich
mond. The business methods of the
managers are also criticised by the
Commercial Club and unless the COM
pany agrees to the first arrangement
that of receiving $4,000 in cash and a
factory site of ample size. all efforts
to secure the factory will be dropped

LOCAL LEADERS
CANNOT AGREE
Democratic Opinions on Tom
Taggart are at Great ,
Variance.
PARTY BADLY SHATTERED.
SUN TELEGRAM BADLY SETS
FOOT ON THOMAS J.
STUDY COMES TO HIS DEFENSE.

Had barrel of dynamite been set
off beneath the Democratic party in
Richmond and the Sixth district the
chaos could hardly be worse than
which already exists.
There is a striking example of the
variance of views of the leaders in
Richmond just at this time. The Sum
Telegram, the Democratic organ of
Richmond and Wayne county, pub
lished an editorial on Wednesday ev-
ening which showed it's standing on
the reorganization proposition.
The Sun-Telegram proceeded with
with great candor to declare that I'M
der the leadership of Tom Taggart
there could be no hope for success
In the Indianapolis Star of yester-
parts of the State were given.
Thomas J. Study who is the actual
leader of the Democratic forces in
Richmond and Wayne county and un-
der whose guidance all things with
a Jeffersonian tinge are done, declar-
ed the time to be most inopportune to
split the party by reorganization. Mr..
Study let it be known that he is for
Tom Taggart and Chairman O'Brien.
1t is said that the other leaders
throughout the Sixth district have ar
ranged to make strong fight to save
the politicaia scalp of Sylvester Meek,
of Connersville, the district chairman.
They will stand by him and announce
that the reorganizers will have no
say in the manner in which the Sixth
district campaign shall be carried on.

Between E, and d streets, 19 inches

The ZndeterD1in0te Sentence.

lNe L71CCeteTD1I7lUte Sentence.
SINCE Warden Wolfers biennial report appeared
in which he recommended the adoption of the indie
terminate sentence law the press of this state has al
most unanimously approved of the suggestion. The
st. Paul Pioneer Press, in a recent editorial pro-
nounced the proposed law as being sane and feas-
ible, and predicted that it would soon become
operative. AS WHOLE the papers thruout the state
thought the suggestion was good one, and think
that it should be given a fair trial. They believe
that the indeterminate sentence law would prove
very beneficial and that it would be solution ofthe
criminal problem.
The indeterminate sentence law is in operation
in several Of the states AS far as we can learn it
has proved very successful in achieving the results
aimed at. If this be true, then there is no reason
why it should not become law. Under this law the
habitual criminal would cease to become menace to
society and of great expense to the state It
also would act preventive agency against pro-
fess0nal criminals entering the state for if thew did
and convicted and sentenced to prison. their re-
cords could be investigated to ascertain their mode
OF gaining livelihood
Nowadays considerable more thought is being
bestowed upon the reformation of the prisoner, and
great deal less upon that of punishment The idea
prevalent today is to turn the prisoner out better
man-morally, physically, and mentally-and not
than when he entered prison. If the indeter-
inmate sentence law fulls these necessary obliga-
tons it ought to prove success. It has been
conclusively proven by many years of experience
that few men are reformed by subjecting them to
severe mode of punishment. On the contrary, they
are more likely to become outlaws than peaceable
citizens.
As we understand it, an indeterminate sentence
would be of vast benefit to the man who has COM
mitted his first offense His detention would, prac-
tcally, depend upon his behavior while in prison.

authors and Publishers.

SHORT time ago several writer's of short stories
proved beyond doubt that the name of an author
carried more weight in getting article accepted
than did the story itself. These men took one OF
Rudyard Kiplings well-known stories, changed the
names mentioned therein, the locality, etc., and
signed unknown to the reading world. They
then sent the story to most OF the better class pub
fishers of short Stories and each instance the
ticle was returned as being unavailable These men
now claim that this test proves conclusivey the i'm
portance of an authors above that of literary
excellence.
It is self-evident that these men are trying to
dictate to publishers to what they should print;
and, being unsuccessful in their laudable efforts,
they are attempting to make them ridiculous This
scheme has been tried often that it has ceased to
be effective. It proves nothing than that these
writer's are sore because their stuff was rejected
When an article from "Mark Twain,' William
Dean Howells F. P. Dunno, or Rudyard KipIing
appears in magazine, the name itself commands
the readers attention It is the personality of the
writer that the article to be read discussed
and then recommended to others. Publishers are
keenly aware of the value of name, and willing
to pay extravagant prices to get the thereof to
contribute to their periodicals. The same thing is
true in the business world certain brand of goods
is in demand by the public because the brand is an
established and is guarantee to the purchaser.
There is magic in a name; and it is just absurd
for writer's to protest against the discrimination
shown by publishers, as it would be for a young
DOCTOR who had just received his diploma to practice
medicine, to protest against the public for patroniz
ing experienced physician

Honesty Us. DISHONESTY
AT THE present time great deal is being said
about safeguarding bank employees from themselves.
The general opinion to be that if bank cash

any irregularities that may have come under their
observation, many defalcations might be avoided.
Some claim that this principle isagains every

the desired result.
Among thieves the informer is looked upon as a
"snitch." This principle, however does not prevail
among honest men, as the word "sntch" is not even
recorded in Websters dictionary. If cashier knew
that the president of bank robbing the insttu-

once. Otherwise he is much Of a thief as theman

would impel him to speak in the cause of justice.

Starring for Wealth.
THERE died the other day who had been
living six cents day for the past five years. The
account Of this remarkable achievement did not
ton why this practiced such rigid economy; it
did state, however, that he earning nty-fve
dollars month, and that during this time he had
saved over thousand dollars.
The man who would starve his body for thesake
of boarding wealth, is fanatic. If he had some
worthy object in view, such paying off amortgage
or in educating his children, the incident would not
be considered ridiculous. AS it is, the world will
pronounce the man fool. No doubt his mind be-
came unbalanced on money affairs, and he immedi-
ately began putting away every cent he could pos
sibly spare.
This mans experience demonstrates what man
can do in practicing economy But one, no matter
for what purpose, wants to initiate his example, 1t
is the limit Of human endurance just think of the
pleasures this man must have denied himself for the
sake of boarding this paltry cum of money! And
what benefit did he gain by it? Perhaps when he
appears before the Judge on high he will have to
answer for the crime of self-destruction.
