Because case is disposed of by
agreement of parties without trial
does not release a man from his OBJ
legation to pay his attorney, accord
ing to a decision rendered by the
appellate court The decision was
given in the case of John M. Bailey
against Herman Cordes for the sum
of 5000 claimed to be due Bailey for
acting as attorney for Cordes in a
divorce suit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cordes became rec
onciied and the divorce suit was dis
missed, whereupon Cordes, believing
that Bailey had not earned the entire
amount agreed upon, refused to pay
it. The case was carried into the
Marion superior court, where judg-
ment was rendered for Bailey.
Cordes then APPEALED to the appellate
court, where the judgment of the
lower court was affirmed on the
ground that Bailey rendered the
services as he was called upon to do,
and the fact that he did not go into
court, that the case was disposed OF
between the parties without trial,
was presumptively to Cordes' advan-
tage."

Secretary Taft returns from Cuba
deserving of the thanks of all his
country for his good work. Garry
ing out President Roosevelt's policy
with tact and firmness, he has saved
Cuba from itself. and he has saved
from Cuba. He has made it pos
sible for Cuba to make another try
under good auspices and with added
experience for sane self-government
He has made it possible for us to do
Cuba the greatest service without
taking unnecessary burdens upon our
own backs.
With Governor Magoon in Havana
and with Secretary Taft continuing
to give oversight from Washington
there is no reason why the jealousies
and ambitions of the Cuban parties
should not subside sufficiently within
a few months to make possible fair
elections. The Cubans know, at any
rate, that without fair elections they
will not gain back their government
and they know that Secretary Taft
cannot be cajoled or deceived.
Besides his executive work Secre-
tary Taft has done his best to slim
ulate the substantial classes in Cuba
which have always heretofore es-
chewed politics to change their atti-
tude and take hand in the opera
ton of the government. These
classes have felt heretofore that it
was to their interest to stand from
under and let the factional disputes
take their course, hoping in that way
to suffer the least injury from them
1t will mean much for tn. future Of
Cuba il the secretary's advice is ac-
cepted and the government passes
from the hands of the forces of dis
order to the hands of the forces OF
order

Markets and Speculation.

The wheat market is feeling the
effects of a dull and circumscribed
speculation and is ruling heavy and
weak, this something of an argument
why speculation should be fostered
rather than discried for upon the f.
nancial success of producers general
ly largely hinges the success of the
country. 1t is true speculation pos
sesses the elements of a gamble on
futurity, but what is there in this life
that is not a speculation on the fut-
ure? Life itself certainly is, else why
should we care for futurity in com
mercial sense? Yet. we all endeavor
to lay up something for that "rainy
day" that is in the future possible il
not wholly probable. Criticise and
deride speculation as much as we
may, we must acknowledge it is "a
concomitant of the world-of the
world worldly. Therefore, those who
look upon speculation as gambling
pure and simple must be credited
with narrowness rather than broad
ness in conception OF the real
meaning of the word There is no
question whatever but if the specula.
ton in all the pits on change was

prices and we should all be the better
off, for even rabid speculation rare
ly carries values exorbitantly high
the old law of supply and demand as
a value arbiter invariably steps in
and asserts its supremacy-we have
evidence of this in the whitened
bones scattered along the speculative
shore of those who have in the past
attempted to override the natural
law of supply and demand in the reg
ulation of values. So there eyer ex-
lists menace to the man or men who
through speculative manipulation en-
deavor to create either low or nigh
values as measured by supplies and
demands, this the safeguard Of the
average speculator. Then why should
spectators, Of which the world has
many, be so conservative about spec
ulating, more especially as it is true
current prices can not be termed un-
reasonably high or low-if anything
rather fair ones in all the pits? Chi

Trade Pastors "sight Unseen.

A prominent Methodist church of
ST. Louis, and High-Street Methodist
church, of Muncie, have exchanged
pastors, sight unseen" In two weeks
the Rev.. Marion Crawford, of St.
Louis, comes to Muncie to take
charge OF the High-street congrega-
ton, and the Rev. Dr. E. B. Randle
goes to ST. Louis to assume the pas
torate made vacant by Mr.. Crawford
Neither the St. Louis nor the Muncie
congregation has seen the man who
is to preach to it, both having accept
ed the recommendations that the
ministers have been able to present.
Dr. Randle, has been pastor of the
Muncie church for nearly FIVE years.
The arrangement between him and
Mr. Crawford was a personal affair,
in which the congregations merely
acquiesced. This condition is said to
be unique in the history of Methodist
churches, which usually are particu-
lar about first hearing a candidate for
a pastorate before accepting him, un-
less the choice is made by the con-
ference, when the congregation must
accept any preacher who is sent.
DIR. Randle's going is entirely of
his own volition. His congregation,
which is the second largest in the
United States, was anxious to keep
him, but DIR. Randle said: Il have
been here long enough The church
will profit, and 60 may |, by change
of pastors"

Sam Jones.

Sam Jones was one of the unique
characters of America. Probably no
man of his day affected so many of
his fellow men in their habits of life
as he, and no one can question that
the results were widely beneficial. In
deed, there are not many Americans
of any time who made such impress.
though some, like John B. Cough,
Peter Cartwright and others, may
fairly be compared to him in the eff
fects of their oratory.
One may not think of Sam Jones
as an orator, but he was one. And he
was one in the truest sense of ora
tory, for his words and acts were all
chosen with reference to the effect
he desired to produce. Oratory that
is not effective in producing the con-
viction desired by the speaker is not
oratory at all.-Indianapolis Star.

Admiral Evans on Heroes.

Admiral Robley D. Evans was
graduated from the United States
Naval Academy in 1863. He served
IN the civil war and in the war with
Spain, and has been attached to the
navy more than forty years. When
man has had such an experience
his reflections on "Heroism in the
Navy will naturally arouse much
curiosity What it will be inquired.
were the acts that APPEALED to him
as being heroic? and it is signifi-
cant fact that most of those which
ne chronicled in the Sunday Maya
zine of The Record Herald were
acts that have brought small reward
either IN money or glory. The con-
duct that made the deepest impress
SION on his mind was that of DIR.
Longstreet at the assault of Fort
Fisher, and he tells his story as fol-
lows:
AS far as the eye could reach the
dead and wounded lay upon the sand
and those who had lost much blood
cried out for water. DR.. Longstreet
was trying to relieve this thirst by
taking the canteens from the dead
and passing them around among the
brave lads; but the bullets were sing
ing around his head, and | begged
him to lie down. He kept on at his
work, and had just said, 1--WE will
have you all off the beach tonight"
when bullet struck him in the head
killing him instantly.
The admiraps comment is that
when he thinks of Longstreet's con-
stitutional bravery, his sense of duty
and manly courage in trying to jolly
along his comrades who were half
dead from their wounds, he feels
that no Drawer man ever lived. 1.-THE
help" he says, which in a crisis
like this was the first to come, the
simple, kindly, quiet devotion to
duty looking back at it now, has i'm
pressed me as the one thing of more
value in the lesson of heroism than
all the rest"
1t was undoubtedly an unconscious
heroism that Longstreet showed, and
it was of kind fortunately, that is
not peculiar TO armies or navies,
but that is frequently noticed in CIV
il life. The heroes may not be threat
ened with the bullets of an enemy
as the doctor was, but, like him, they
Jolly others along, are actuated by
simple. kindly, quiet devotion tc
duty and are ready 10 sacrifice
themselves as a matter of course.
They find many chances aud take
them, and die heroes as truly as
though they had volunteered for
some conspicuous service on the
field of battle.-Record Herald.

In digging the Panama canal the
Government has decided to do as
great private enterprises do when
they have work of this kind. namely
to intrust it to competent contract
or. Bids will be advertised for and
nobody barred. Any one in the world
with capital of 100000 that can
put up forfeit of $500. 600 and file
bond for 100000 who will un-
dertake the work as whole, can bid
and the best bid will get the con-
tract. This is the business like way
of doing. Mr.. Shonts sets out at
some length reasons why the con-
tract system is better han an under
taking by the government in the un-
precedented industrial activity which
makes competition so strong that
the Government would be years in
getting proper men, and so forth
and so on. All of which is not so
much to the point In no case can
the government-the State-do work
as well as it can hire it done. With
us at least politics has so enervated
public methods where it has not cor
rupted them that private enterprise
can do the same work in far less
time and at far less cost. 1t is a
hard saying, but it is undeniably
true anG the reflection incidentally
affords one of the most powerful ar
guments against government owner

noted consequently that the deter

tract is blow at the socialistic

Hearst In Indiana.

Louis Ludlow says William r
Hearst will soon open political head
quarters in Indianapolis and the
fight to wrest Indiana from the con
troll of the bosses and to capture il
for Hearst will then begin in earnest
Richard Nj. sherwood of Delphi
will move down to indianapolis. take
charge of headquarters and direct
the battle that is to be waged in the
Hoosier state in behalf of Hearst
and reform. The headquarters will
be maintained in the name of the
independence League. Mr.. Isher-
wood. has been employed to repre-
sent the Hearst interests generally in
Indiana and he will be very active
man from now on. He is in constant
touch with Hearst and the latter's
managers and. judging from the ex-
tensive preparations that are on foot
Tom Taggart and his followers will
have to watch out or the Hears.
goblin vii be sure to get them.
Once before William R. Hearst
had political headquarters in Indian
apolis. That was during the spring
and the early summer of 1904, when
he was trying to secure delegation
from Indiana to the Democratic ma
tional convention. His headquarters
that year was in a palatial suite OF
rooms in the Claypool Hotel. He
spared no money or any other means
to secure success and there was con
stantly about the headquarters ret
inue of hangers-on who bad read
about the Hearst barrel and were
anxious to tap it.
The Hearst campaign that year
was conducted on scale of magn;f
cence. Ex-auditor of State ]. o
Henderson, one of the best known
and most highly esteemed Demo
cratic politicians in Indiana, was
then the general manager of the
Hearst interests in this State and
Mr.. sherwood was his first lieuten-
ant. Mr. Henderson is no longer an
active Hearst man, and Mr.. Isher-
wood, who enjoys the personal &C
quaintance and confidence of Mr..
Hearst, has taken Henderson's place
at the helm. He has not decided in
what Indianapolis hotel or building
he will open headquarters. but it is
safe to say that he will not be ham
pered by any lack of funds. either in
the selection of the apartments or
the employment of assistants to
help to advance the Hearst propa-
ganda Two years ago Hearst had
the old-line Democratic politicians
in Indiana by the ears and he prob
ably will give them something to
think about when he gets his new
