THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL.

The fact that the Catholic church has more COM
muncants than all the other churches and sects
combined rghfully entities it to the designation as
the church universal. Not only in numbers, but
in the geographical breadth of the church, does it
merit such designation. And if this were not true,
the history of the church from the earliest days to
the present time serves to impress upon the mind
its universally. These things alone are sufficient
to show the main contention of the Catholic church
that it is the church universal and hence must be
the same church as thta founded by our Lord
When Christ selected his twelve apostles he
commanded them to teach others and to observe all
things that he had told them. In the words of our
Savior is sufficient evidence of the primacy of his
teachers and of the power conferred upon his church
and teachers Matthew records our Lord as saving
Matt xxxviii., 49,: "All power is given to me in
heaven and in earth" That this power was con.
ferred upon his teachers is plainly stated in John
Xxx, 81: Gas my Father hath sent me, I also send
you" Further, when our Lord spoke to Peter, say
ing that upon him he founded his church, and com
mandng him to feed His sheep, and to feed His
lambs, the meaning is evident that our Lord con-
ferred the same powers which he had received from
His Father in heaven upon His divinely appointed
teachers to teach and instruct the people of the
world the apostles, bishops, priests and laymen
And from the foundation of the church. the his
tory of the organization is one unbroken fulflment
of the promises of our Lord For 1900 years hen
teachings have remained unchanged, and in all thr
time facing all the dissensions of the world she
has spread out and encompassed every nation, and

MAKING MEN.

America is great country of natural resources.
We have rich agricultural lands, wonderful mines
and great variety of manufacturing industries.
And we have expended great effort in bringing these
things up other present state Of development. In
deed, the entire thought of seems to have been
in the direction of development of the natural re-
sources of the country-to produce wealth In all
the struggle we have not only made great strides
in scientific and physical matters, but we have out
stripped all the older nations and stand in a class
by ourselves among the nations of the world. This
is very gratifying to our pational vanity, but we
forget that there is probably no other country on
the globe that has the natural resources with which
America was endowed, and that when these
sources are exhausted there is other country to
which we can turn for something new.
There is one resource, however, that remains
always We always have men with us to be devel-
oped and trained While we are looking out for the
physical prizes in the way of great crops and pro-
ductive Mines the greatest prize of all should not be
overlooked. The human being should receive some
of the consideration of the great progressive Amer
lean people, for in the development of the human
being, bringing him up to a high state of perfec-
ton lies great portion of the foundation of ma
tional prosperity and greatness. In this CONNER
cia age the most inspiring thought which has been
expressed lately is that it is the that counts.
Whereas we have fought for supremacy in other
matters. we have not given the greatest asset of
any nation the thought and consideration which it
deserves We must make men, And the way to
make men, the way to teach men to live among
their fellows is to teach them to live as our Savior
taught. And the best way to teach others to live is
to follow the precepts of Lord and teach others
by our own example.

UPTON SlNCLAIR'S LATEST NOVEL.

There is almost effect of disappointment in
Upton Sinclairs latest novel, "The Moneychangers."
One takes up the book with the impression that the
promise of "The Jungle" will be fulfilled with a
story of startling incidents. And the narrative.
starting with that preconception, seems common
place.
Yet the effect of the reading does not at once
leave 1t is more impressive than the reader
was conscious of. Afr a day or two the unusual
effect is recognized proof that the story is strong
immensely strong. The incidents recited are per
fectly appalling. And it is certain that there Is
ground for believing some of them-perhaps most
of them-are true.
There may be exaggerations The things NAV
not be entirely typical the author would have
us believe But that they do reflect condition can
hardly be denied
That being true, one may follow the example of
Mr. Sin clair, and seek for a way of remedying am
evil His method Of curing the defects lie describes
may moi be the method of others PerhaIs if ole
question could uncover the root Of The whole evil
then the remedy would be easy of application.
And there IS one question which we believe does
uncover the master of all the wrong described
in "The Moneychangers." 1t IS this: els there de-
vout member of the church in the entire story? And
little reflection will impress the reader with the
truth that nothing is farther from their lives than
that holy relation In every way every one of them
is removed from it. We do not believe the church
is mentioned by any accident from the first to the
last of the book.
Is not this suggestive2 And would not condi
ton of loyalty to the church be an improvement?
Can the reader believe would so madly struggle
for money if they had any portion of their thought
on holier things? Would women so utterly DESTROY
themseves-their health their honor and their lives
if they could feel their faith grounded in the
blessed consultations of religion? Is there not q
solution of the Upton Sinclair problem by the simple
and sensible devotion of the human soul to the serv
ice of God?
There is better way to correct the horrors of
"The Moneychangers" And it lasts eternaIly

HANDSPRING.

The presidential campaign, like most OF those
that have gone before is essentially Misunderstanding
campaipn. We read in the dispatches that the
hands of the candidates after day OF the strehu
ous shaking of the hands of their friends and al
mrers show the efets in swelling, and at times the
candidates are compelled to vince under the hearty
shake Of some bip-fsted constituent whose adnlra
ton cannot be better expressed than by giving the
candidate good, healthy squeeze. Candidates be-
fore this campaign have been through the mill; 1t
is part of the campaign, and the great American
people cannot get along without it. In no other
way can the constituents be satisfied For the man
who neglects to shake the hand of the presidential
candidates will never be able to tell his children and
his children's children about the time ne snooN
hands with the president if it happens that his
candidate is elected
The discomforts attending the shaking OF the
hands of the hundreds who press forward at every
station where the candidates speak has led to the
innovation of shaking hands in punches. The
friends and fellow citizens lind up, each tax
ing the hand of his neighbor, and then the END man
touches the palm of the candidate, and the whole
bunch veil it'll Joy at the electrical shock pro-
duced
This certainly is great stuff; it should have been
thought of years ago. for it would have saved much
valuable time to the busy candidates, and the peo-
pie would have felt just great pleasure. We anx-
iously await the announcement of grand hand
shaking meet in all cities of the land when the CIT
liens of the nation will be arranged in groups each
hanging onto the hand of his neighbor, and have
the presiding officer touch the wire to the other end
of which the presidential candidates are holding.
That certainly would beat the present scheme as
much as the present scheme beats the individual
grasp.

Anything that is worth while is worth working
for. And anything that comes to man without
effort on his part is not worth the possession. We
don't believe men and women work for the love of
work. They usually see success, comfort or the
adulation of the masses, as reward, and they work
with such definite thing in view. Work is the
foundation of everything that has been wrought by
men. Without it, man could never have developed
out of savagery, and would today be living in
such state as none now can imagine. Necessity
has made many work and the rest of humanity has
worked to accomplish what has been good for the
race.

1t requires fine judicial mind to determine just
what punishment is commensurate to the crime for
which it is handed out. But that the punishment
is a deterrent one will doubt. For there are
many who might be led to break the law if they
thought there was an even chance to "get away
with it."

WELL RECOMMENDED - WILL
HAVE ENTIRE CONTROL.

Miss Mary B. Sellers was selected
superintendent of the Reid Memorial
hospital, at a meeting of the board of
control last evening. Miss Sellers
succeeds Miss Alice Ashby, resigned.
Miss Sellers has been connected with
the hospital at Lafayette as superin-
tendent for a number of years. Under
her capable management the institu-
ton has acquired the reputation of
being one Of the best conducted in the
state. She was recommended highly
by physicians and others of Lafayette.
who are acquainted with her success.
The entire direction of the institu-
ton will be assumed by the new super
intendent. Her ten years experience
at Lafayette has fitted her for the du-
ties Of a hospital of the size and scope
Of that of this city and a continuance
of her success is anticipated. The
Reid Memorial hospital has been some
what disorganized in minor ways since
the resignation of the former superin-
tendent, but an advantageous change
is expected in the immediate future.
Miss Kemper will continue as assist
ant superintendent.

To improve the road bed and the

AWAITING OUTCOME
OF INVESTIGATION
Local Insurance Agents Ex-
poet Change as Result
Of Improvements.
RISK is DECREASED NOW.
MANY CHANGES EXPECTED TO
RESULT FROM IMPROVED CON-
STRUcTION AND LOWER RATES
ARE BEING ANTICIPATED.

Local insurance agents are anxiously
awaiting the outcome of the investiga-
ton made by the representative of the
Chicago board of control here last
week in regard to the advance in the
rates of the fire insurance in Rich
mond. 1t has been learned that many
improvements have been made lessen
ing the danger of loss from conflagra-
ton.
The cause of the recent investigation
by the representative Of the Chicago
board, is attributed to reports which
were held to be unsatisfactory. 1t is
the business Of this board to settle all
disputes in the relation to the abnor-
NAL advance in rates and other ques-
lions that are Of mutual interest to all
the companies. Various representa-
tives of Richmond agencies notified
their companies of the local conditions
and it is through the companies that
the investigation was made. 1t re-
mains with the inspector as to whether
the old rates will remain in force or
whether there will be an advance in
rates.
During the past several months there
have been a large number of improve
ments made by property owners, so
that the risks have been bettered by
lessening chances for conflagration,
and betterment of protection These
important changes for the better have
been recognized by the Indiana Inspec-
ton bureau, and credit for the same
has been given the insured.

IS NOT SEEKING
POSITION AGAIN
James Shaw, Manager of the
Chautauqua, Says He Is
Well Satisfied.
DIFFICULTY WAS SETTLED.
DISAGREEMENT WITH CHAIRMAN
OF PROGRAM COMMITTEE WAS
ONLY oNE-oBJEcTED TO PAY
ING GOV. FOLK $500.

James H. Shaw, manager of the local
chautauqua, says he does not wish to
be misrepresented in regard to his re-
lations with the board offs chautauqua
directors. He says he believes the
article in this paper of yesterday was
rejecting the sentiment of but one or
two members and not the entire board.
AS an explanation of the matter he has
prepared the following for publication:
Editor Palladium:
l desire to give my point of view
with regard to the article on myself
and the chautauqua in yesterdays Pal
ladium.
l am not seeking to continue as su-
perintendent Of the Richmond chau-
tauQua, because feel I have been we'll
treated and nothing more is due me.
If l were needed that would be anoth-
er consideration, but if I am not, GER
tainly / would not desire to force my
self on the chautauqua. There is
sometimes a feeling that if a non-res-
ident comes to town and gets money
from the community, no matter what
his service, it is not the thing l have
known even Evangelists to arouse this
feeling, and l might, however suggest
that it is not safe to count on the
chautauqua always being a profitable
institution. Two or three heavy
rains on the largely attended days
this year would have made it a losing
enterprise and some people have de-
ficit to pay. Then, too, there Is
something in experienced management.
1 conducted one chautauqua for three
years and it was successful financial
ly. The next year they ran it without
me and lost little, the next year they
lost 500 and the next year they said
to me, you will manage it or it won't
run. That year it cleared over $1,000.
have for several years had more
chautauquas than 1 can attend and this
year had to send an assistant to two.
therefore, am not financially in need
of this one. | was not aware that the
board of directors and myself had a
disagreement. The chairman of the
program committee and myself did not
Strengthened out. I want to say
did not object to any high priced tai
ent because it was high priced. l may
have at some time desired some one
else. l know from experience that
the high priced men usually pay the
best. I did think that $500 was a
high price for Gov. Folk. No other
speaker in the country is paid that
much at chautauquas. Most of the
big guns cost 5000. Caleb Powers
who drew so we'll, cost only 1925 and
l secured him.
am sorry a public attack has been
made on me and there is some appear
ance of being kicked out. for I desire
to have it clearly understood I am not
seeking a reelection and therefore
this could not occur. have enjoyed
very much my five years work here
and have greatly appreciated the cor
dial good will often expressed, and
naturally dislike to be attacked in an
unfriendly spirit at the close. I'M
derstand the reflections cast by the
director did not govern the sentiment
of the Palladium, which / have found
always very friendly to me.

CHANGE OF VENUE
Beach Hargis Will Not Be
Tried for Patricide in
Home County.
ODD CONDITION EXISTS.

Jackson, KY, Sept. IA change of
venue was granted the commonwealth
in the Beach Hargis case by Judge Ad-
ans yesterday. The Court delivered
a carefully prepared opinion amid
breathless silence.
THE evidence in this CASE said
Judge Adams, presents the most I'M
usual state of affairs l have ever
known to exist. The commonwealth
has proved that an overwhelming SEN
timent exists in the county against the
defendant, while the defendant intro
duced a number of witnesses to prove
the same fact. In the face of these
conditions the commonwealth insists
on a change of venue.
THE defendant, on the other hand,
is demanding a trial among the people
whom the proof shows are clamoring
for his conviction.
"It is proved by one witness at least
that efforts have been made to influ-
ence men to qualify as jurors and hang
the jury. No evidence is offered by
defendant to deny this. While there
are many just as good men in this
county as can be found anywhere, the
evidence shows that most, if not prac-
tically all of them, have expressed an
opinion, and hence would not be COM
petent jurors. Uuder these conditions
I do not believe the case ought to be
tried in this county, and therefore the
change of venue will be granted"
