FIRST MEETING
NEXT SEPTEMBER
Commercial Clubs to Convene
Here to Form State
Federation.
MUCH INTEREST is TAKEN.
THE MOVE HAVE RECEIVED
LETTERS ASKING ABOUT TIE
MEETING.

The first meeting of the proposed
Federation OF Commercial Clubs of
Indiana, will probably be held in this
city next SepteT. er. II is quite prob
lie that every commercial organiza-
ton in the state will be represented
at this meeting and that there will he
but little difficulty in effecting the
proposed organization. which would.
without doubt. be the most powerful
organization in the state, including, as
it would, all the prominent business
men in Indiana.
The movement to form such an or
ganizatiOn was inaugurated by Presi-
dent John F. Mccarthy and Secretary
r. NJ. Haas of the Richmond CONNER
cial Club. Monday circular letters
will be addressed to every commercial
organization in the state. These let
tiers will outline the plan proposed by
MesSrs. Mccarthy and Haas and the
various clubs will be asked to send
representatives. to a meeting to be
held in Richmond on date TO be de
cided later.
Mr.. Haas states that already he has
received several inquiries concerning
the proposed formation of a fedora
ton. The Bureau Of Forestry at
Washington, d. c.. has informed Mr.
Haas that il would like to send a for
estry expert to this meeting to lecture
on the movement to save the forests
Of America from destruction.
The Rivers and Harbors Congress
which recently met at Washington
and was attended by delegates from
every state and territory in the union
has requested that a place be reserved
on the program for a representative
from that organization. The Rivers
and Harbors Congress desires to in
terest the business acumen of this
state in the movement to improve the
waterways of this country.
In a great number of states the
commercial bodies have federated and
the work that has been accomplished
by these various declarations has been
of the greatest benefit to the business
interests of the several states.

TONlCS.
Two Edged Swords Capable of Mis-
chief as Well Benefit.

Two Edged Swords Capable of Mis-
chief Well Benefit.
There is perhaps no class of remedial
agents more abused than tonics. The
abuse consists both in the excessive
use and the misapphcation Of this class
Of agents, which within restricted
field possess an indisputable and i'm
portant therapeutic value. The misuse
Of tonics is doubtless the outgrowth
Of misconception of the real nature of
this class Of remedial agents and its
limitations. Many physicians also seem
to lose sight of the fact that tonics are,
as has been said Of drugs in general.
two edged swords which are as capable
of mischief as of benefit. Indeed, when
the true nature of tonics-as is true, in
fact, of most medicinal agents-is thor
oughly understood, it Is apparent that
even in cases in which they accomplish
the maximum of benefit there is also
a certain amount Of injury inflicted
upon the organism, so that the effect
obtained is really and simply the differ
ence between the mischief done and the
good accomplished. If the difference
is on one side, the total result is benefit;
if on the other side, the result is harm.
This principle holds good with regard
to most remedies. whether the means
employed is a drug or nonmedicinal
agent
The popular idea of tonic is well
expressed In the following definition,
which we find in the National Medical
Dictionary: An agent which augments
gradually and permanently the strength
and vital activity Of the body or its
parts A stimulant is defined by the
same authority as being IAN agent
which increases the functional activity
of any organ or series of organs" The
distinction made seems to be that a
stimulant produces temporary excite
ment, whereas a tonic produces a per-
manent increase of strength and vital
activity.-Good Health.

WHY NOT?.

The suggestion has been made that
inasmuch as the nomination of Secre-
tary Taft for president is practically
assured, it would be an excellent thing
for the republican ticket if Theodore
Roosevelt were nominated for second
place on the ticket. There is no rea-
son why this should not be done. Pres
ident Roosevelt has flat footedly re-
fused to accept another nomination
for observation-disclosures he could have
had it without the least trOuble-but
he has not refused to accept second
place on the ticket. AS the nominee
for vice president Roosevelt would add
a strength to the ticket that would
carry the republican party irresistibly
to the greatest victory it has ever won
at the polls. Roosevelt, by his I'M
swerving loyalty to the interests of
the common people has so endeared
himself to his fellow countrymen that
no matter what their political faith
may be, they are first, last and all the
time for him. There is no doubt that
Taft as the nominee of the party
would be the next president. Howev-
er. he could never command the great
following that is backing President
Roosevelt. as could Roosevelt himself
Taft, while he is known to be heart
and soul in favor of the square deal
policies of the president. can not be ex-
pected to command the same strength
as Roosevelt can as the originator of
these policies.
OF course, some might claim that it
would be too much of Il come down for
Roosevelt to accept second place on
the ticket which he has represented
for seven years as president. On
second thought, however. these people
will see that President Roosevelt
could do so without in the least losing
any dignity by the act, AS vice-pres-
ident he would be the presiding officer
of the senate-that stronghold so firm
ly held by the special interests. Roose-
welt is interested in seeing his policies
continued. AS the originator of them
he ought to feel no hesitancy in lend
ing all the strength to the ticket of his
party that he can, even though it re-
quire his running with Taft as Vice
president He should remember and
SO should the people of this country,

A NOBLE STOCK.
Pride, Dignity and Beauty of the
Modern Spaniards.

Pride, Dignity and Beauty Of the
Modern Spaniards.
You may see today in any church
portal in Spain the somber dignity of
expression immortalized in the por-
traits of Velasquez, the sinister cast of
countenance of Philip H.. the nose and
proud bearing of a Roman centurion.
In the Basque provinces the dignity
and pride of the peascntry are reflect
ed in the graceful carriage and sym
metry of movement for which the men
of that coast and the girls carrying
pitchers ON their heads are justly cele-
brated. There is no trace of awkward
ness in a Spanish peasant, on whose
features is stamped the pride of Rome,
who will talk to you with the ease and
volubility of a Spanish courtier. 1t is
a noble stock.
Though today the glory of Spain has
departed and the modern Spaniard ia
vors q western "bowler" and the wom-
en- wear Partisan hats, the national
type of Spain persists with all its dig
nifty and characteristics. Living types
Of Murillo's street urchins may be seen
in any Spanish village-a group hud-
died together in some shady retreat,
brown, chubby, curly headed, merry
little rascals, lunching off a water
melon picked up in the market, happy
as princes in their hempen rags and
with their meager morsel, or you
may see the sunny side of Spain as
Goya painted it-a dance in the open
square, a bridal feast, a bullfighters'
carousal, a brawl an elopement The
apparel is less gaudy today, but the
sun and the types and the spirit are
the same.
That brawny picador with his wide
brimmed sombrero, his swarthy coun-
tenance. aquiline nose and raven locks
looks for all the world like a Roman
gladia tor. The lad at his side, with
his finely chiseled features, might have
waited on POppaea. And that young
girl in her white lace mantilia and the
red roses in her warm black hair-such
a one @ .ya would have delighted to
portray as she stands there with her
delicate head detiantly thrown back.

FIVE YEARS IN PRISON
FOR CROOKED CASHIER

indianapolis. Ind. June 13.-On a
plea Of guilty to an Indictment charg-
ing him with embezzlement Of funds
as cashier of the First National Bank
of Dillsboro, Ind, Fred Lubbe was
sentenced to five years imprisOn-
ment at Fl. Leavenworth, Kan, by
Judge A. B. Anderson, of the Federal
court.
Lubbe, who is - and unmarried. was
indicted last November, but prior to
then fled from the state. He was ar
rested at Los Angeles. Cal. and return
ed to indianapolis a few days ago
Lubbe asserted that he had Overdrawn
his account 5000 and that he took
$1,000 with him when he left DillsbOro
but he denied that he was responsible
for a shortage of from $1,000 to STA
900.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-06-13

He declared that he never speculat-
ed. gambled or led a fast life. and that
he seldom was away from Dillsboro.
According TO his story his principal ex-
travagance was the purchase of three
horses with his own money.
His salary as cashier was 500 a
year. He explained that he knew
very little about book keeping when he
became cashier of the bank. He said
that patrons of the bank often had him
make out their deposit slips and that
frequently he neglected to give them
credit, Judge Anderson remarked
however, that Lubbe's neglect should
have resulted in a larger showing in
favor of the bank. and that it was not
necessary for him to understand
book keeping to be honest.

"GET MARRIED AND
BECOME GENIAL"

Atlantic City, n. J., June 80
Get married and become genial
and pleasant" is the advice which
was given to the International
Ticket Association which is in con-
ference here.
The bachelor ticket seller is a
failure" declared C. NJ. Kimbel,
head of the Pennsylvania ticket
system, with offices in Chicago,
and the influence of women would
soften his manners and make him
of more force in winning friends
and business than when he lived in
single desolation.
The public. although sometimes
unreasonable in it's demands. even
in the smallest detail, is entitled
to consideration, and the married
ticket agent is much more likely to
think Of his family and change his
mind about being impudent than
is the single man who has no one
dependent on him."

LINCOLN'S CARELESSNESS.
His Hat His Favorite Receptacle For
Letters and Papers.

When Lincoln was postmaster of
New Salem he used to tuck the letters
inside his hat and deliver them when
ever he happened to meet the persons
to whom they were addressed As this
is fair example of his business sys-
tenn, it may readily be imagined that
the Office of Stuart & Lincoln was not
a model establishment, where there
was place for everything and every
thing in its place. And it was not. In
deed, as a managing clerk the Junior
partner would have been a hopeless
failure. and as an attorney, in the
technical sense Of the term, he would
never have distinguished himself. He
disliked everything connected with the
drudgery Of legal routine, hated draw
ing the declarations and pleas, despis-
ed the artificialities and refnements
which were even then beginning to
creep into the pleadings and disregard
ed forms whenever it was possible to
do 50.
There was nothing mechanical, pre-
else or methodical about the man, and
in all those housewifely virtues which
characterized the careful, orderly, ex-
act solicitor he was utterly deficient.
He never knew where his papers were,
and apparently the only attempt he
ever made to better the disorder was to
write on one of his bundles of papers
which Uttered his desk, When you
can't find it anywhere else, look In
this" But that was long after the firm
of Stuart & Lincoln had dissolved, and
even then we find him explaining to a
correspondent that he had placed his
letter inside an old hat and had thus
neglected answering it, which shows he
had not wholly outgrown. the habit of
his postoffice days. Indeed, his hat con-
tinued to be his favorite receptacle for
papers as long as he lived. and he
never acquired any sense Of order

tie spotted Jungle Cat.
One of the most Interesting animals
of the raw world and yet one of which
little seems to be written. even by
sportsmen who have spent much time
in Mexico and the Central American
states, is the ocelot, the strange little
spotted cat of the dense jungles of
tropical parts OF the two Americas.
They are not nearly so heavy as the
average lynx of the eastern woods and
are infinitely lighter on their feet
They run with the greatest agility up
and down the almost perpendicular
trunks of trees and follow a crippled
bird out on limbs too slender, it would
rot, let alone the cat. Parrots are the
ocelot's principal food, and their hunt
ing Is done almost altogether by day.
