Broadway sit up and like his play.
Broadway the hardened-the bloated
on George NJ Cohan voracious for the
"Zippy Show" of George AIDE, has
been taken by storm.
We of Indiana ought really to be a
little puffed up, especially as some of
it is written about us-fwhy praise the
artist when he had the good stuff be-
fore his noseD The play seems to
point a healthy moral-the battle
against snobbery by a gentleman from
Indiana. The play indicates that In
diana is no longer provincial, which
must be encouraging to all of us who
can spare enough time to quit trying
to make money and accumulate Gull
ture.
At any rate if there is anything in
advertising Indiana has a great debt
to pay to Mr. Harrington who GER
tainly "patronizes home industries"
Indiana will be as pleased to know
that when placed on exhibition on
Broadway she takes the first place
just as pleased as when out pet calf
Indianians are getting used to it.

only with the republican platform. but
with Mr.. Taft.
The speech may not be as emotion
al as Mr.. Bryan's 1--WE hope mott nor
as profoundly judicial as Mr. Taft's.
but it has the merit of letting the
country see that Sherman is a really
progressive republican, who is in
thorough accord apparently with the
platform and that he is a thinking
man of much native shrewdness. His
remarks on the repugnance of the
stirring up of class lines for political
uses and stigmatizing Bryan's efforts
in that direction should be read by
every citizen. They are the strong
est in the speech.
Il emphasize as my party's creed
and my faith, that in legislation and
administration, favor should be ex-
tended to no class, no sect, no race,
no section as opposed to another. To
foster class hatred. to foster discon-
tent is un-republican and un-Ameri-
can"

POLITICS AND RELIGION.

The much mooted question as to
how much religion should enter into
politics will go on unchanged, wheth.
er, like it or not as one may. In a
country which was peopled from the
first by men and women who fed from
religious persecution in Europe to
gain liberty to believe what they chose
on religious matters, religious tolera-
ton should be and is the dominant
note
And yet on two accounts a man
who is the candidate for president of
the United States is being criticised
and assailed on religious matters. The
first matter is that he is a Unitarian.
Most people in these regions are not
much troubled by that, but down in
Kentucky a certain denomination has
attacked him bitterly in its church pa.
per which is reaping a. fortune in
printing extra copies The truth is
simply that William Howard Taft goes
regularly to church and is censured
for it,
The second count is that William
II. Taft gave certain denomination
square deal once in the Philippine
Islands. Naturally they are not fight,
ing him. And the other denominations
would fight Taft for carrying out his
principle of Justice for all without
prejudice and without fear or favor"
When the people of these United
States reach the point where they con-
denim man for having one creed rath-
er than another and for fearlessly de-
tending the faith of his fathers: when
they can condemn a man for attend
ing the church of his faith on the
Sabbath SO that he may worship his
Creator in the way that he deems
right; when the people of this coun-
try can condemn a man for giving a
square deal to any religious organiza-
ton without prejudice-they are do
ing violence to the finest thing in
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. federation. Many
of the ancestors of the founders of
this republic were prosecuted and tor
tured for liberation and they be-
queathed it to their heritors and en-
bodied in the Constitution of the
land as the greatest blessing of their
bestowal. Are we going back three
hundred years?

WARSH|P WAS NOT
ALLOWED TO LAND
Dutch Cruiser Steamed to
Caracas With Decks in
Fighting Trim.
FAILED TO GIVE SALUTE.
DISCLOSE MISSION coNsULs
FUME AT PRESENT STATE OF
AFFAIRS.

Caracas, Aug. 19.-When the Dutch
cruiser Geiderland, after taking away
Minister De Reus, came back to La
Guaira without saluting and with
decks in fighting trim, the greatest ex.
element reigned here in Caracas, as it
was known that Castro's new
French coast defense guns mounted
on the mountainside above La Guaira
and on the beach had been made ready
to meet any emergency.
Speculation was rife as to whether
the warship would bring an apology
for the De Reus letter and the ston-
ing of Consul Lopez in Curacao, de-
mand for the immediate release of
Carlos Gentil, a Dutch merchant OF
La Guaira recently imprisoned on a
contraband charge, or an ultimatum of
some kind.
The curious were doomed to disap,
pointment, however, as the unexpected
happened, as it usually does here.
The cruiser was not allowed to com
municate with the shore or deliver
any of the documents which it
brought, presumably because its fail
ure to salute on this and a recent oc-
casion has been considered an offense
by President Castro. So the Gelder-
land had to return to Curacao with it's
mission unfultilled.
Meanwhile the German minister
Baron Won Seckendorff, was Tuning in
Caracas because he could not obtain
permission from the Government for
the German consul to go alongside of
the cruiser to see if there were not
some expected dispatches for him.
Minister De Reus had left him in
charge of the Dutch interests, and he
was at his wits end to know what to
do because of the absolute impossible
ty of communicating with his Govern
ment The baron is almost the only
diplomat in Caracas.
A sensation has been caused in dip.
lomatic circles by the refusal of Pres
ident Castro to permit the Brazilian
minister to take charge of French in
terests in Venezuela, although DR.. Jose
Paul, the Venezuelan minister of for
eign affairs, originally agreed to this
arrangement.

THE FALL FESTIVAL,

The Young Mems Business Club is
living up to its reputation for action
and the city is assured from its sue
cess in the Good Roads Congress that
the proposed Fall Festival will be a
go.
Too much enthusiasm on the part of
all the citizens can not be displayed
even though the summer languor of
August be a seemingly paramount is
sue. Richmond must wake I'D if it is
to hold its place in the trade of east
ern Indiana and western Ohio. The
city has good things-it needs adver-
Using and a reputation for push and
go.
Yet at the same time it can not be
a complete success on a purely COM
mercial basis. The Fall Festival can
be as large as Richmond cares to make
it. If this year the lack of time and
facilities make some things impossi.
ble-let them go. But the town has
a fine individuality which can be add
ed to and impressed on the whole pro-
ject. 1t is an Elusive thing, but it
will pay. That it will pay to catch
this thing is seen constantly, in the
advertisements all over the world
Some catch it-others which cost Just
as much or more fail utterly from the
mere commonplaceness of the idea.
The Young Mems Business club should
aim at the expression of the whole
town in their project for in no other
way will they interest all the town
and country.
1t is to be hoped that this Fall Fes-
tival will not merely be a feature of
one year and then dropped. 1t should
be a permanent institution for the
awakening Of town and country and
for the binding together of the agri-
cultural and business interests.
That the men in charge will catch
this note and make it unique and
original thing there is already enough
evidence. Richmond Is waking up
or rather it has walked up. The Fall
Festival will be a success.

A REAL REPUBLICAN,.

The speech of James Schoolcraft
Sherman should be satisfactory not
only to the republican party, but to
the people of the country In its brief
length he emphasized the two main
points of the present campaign: that
the real issue is whether or not Theo
dore Roosevelt's policies are to be
carried out by the man he selected or
whether the country is to be left to
the mercy of demagogue.
Mr.. Bryan keeps shouting "Shall
the people rule when as Sherman
rightly answers: ut is no issue. Sure.
ly the people shall rule, surely the
people have ruled, surely the people
do rule. No party rules. The party
commissioned by the people, is simp.
~ the instrument to execute the
peoples will and from that party
which does not obey their expressed
viii, or which lacks the wisdom to
lead successfully, the people will with
draw their commission.
For half a century, with but two
exceptions the people have commits
stoned the republican party to admin,
lister the national government: com
missioned it because its declared prin
ciples appealed to their best judg
ment; commissioned it, because the
common sense of the American peo
pie scented danger in democratic pol
icies."
The people of the country also re
ceive insurance from Mr.. Sherman
that in event of his taking the presi

case in American history that they

policies of Theodore Roosevelt.

cation to labor and capital and black
and white. Mr. Sherman has showr
himself to be thoroughly in accord moi

Two Points OF View,

word to the school that, owing to an
attack of illness, she would be com
PEELED to dismiss the classes for the

Treat Your FIannels Right.

If your woolens and flannels mat
down after washing, it's because you
are using the wrong kind of soap. You
can expect nothing else if you use the
common yellow sort, which is mostly
rosin and offal fats. For perfect clean
illness and to keep woolens soft and
fluffy, always use Easy Task soap. It's
white and pure and will keep wooden
fabrics like new.
