The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-09-27

Ring politics has for it's backbone the
brewery control which with its myriad
tentacles reaches out through the sa-
looms. New York, Chicago, Boston,
st. Louis, San Francisco, all woke up
to the fact that politics in their re-
spective towns were in the hands of
peasant saloon keepers owned or ow-
ing allegiance to the brewery combine.
The fight then began and has contin-
ued That the fight is general only
means that the conditions are general.
So we in Indiana have taken part
in this fight against brewery DONNA
ton.
The passage of county local option
means that but the first victory has
been gained the skirmish started.
The fight to be successful must not be
fanatical. The future welfare of the
state-good government and the fight
against lawlessness mean that re-
publican governor and republican
legislature must be elected in Novem-
Der to keep the bill from being re-
pealed. Indiana must be freed from
brewery domination and kept so.

The clothes and boots were made up

Philip sprang into bus for the Bank.
At the Royal Exchange he would catch
a green bus for the Mile End road.
1t was almost dark when he reached
the Bank Thus far the omnibuses go
ing east were not crowded. Now the
situation had changed.
The human eddy In that throbbing
center of life was sending OF its swirls
to all points Of the compass. and the
eastbound vehicles were boarded by
an eager crowd almost before the pas
sengers arriving at the terminus could
descend.
A poor woman greatly hampered by
a baby was struggling with others to
obtain seat in the Mile End road bus.
Philip, coming late on the scene, saw
her swept ruthlessly aside by a mum.

only confirms the belief that he still
has some understanding with the cor
porate interests which are intent on
law breaking.
II is worthy of notice that as yet
there has been no denial or repudia-
ton Of the letters which Hearst has
read, by the Standard Oil company.
The inability OF Foraker to satisfactor-
lily explain why he returned money
to the company. the weakness of his
memory in regard to the $4,000 deal,
the fact that letters which we're sent
to him by the Standard are not on
his record, so does not make out good
case for him. Checks are not so plen-
tiful for $4,000 to be forgotten. Let
tiers on file or not on file in Foraker's
possession do not prove anything. An
discriminating letter is easily forgot
ten and easily destroyed. 1t may yet
be that Foraker will prove himself

aker's demeanor of attacking others
instead of clearing himself will not do
him good-it does a service to the peo-
pie by showing the enmity between
Taft and himself.
Such charges as Foraker brings
riding In a private car with trust
magnate does not show anything.
Taft paid his fare. The charge that
Taft recommended a man who had
been a corporation lawyer, does not
prove anything. Although the man
was never appointed, it is worthy Of
note that the very men who have been
the most successful prosecutors Of the
trusts are men who were previously
corporation lawyers
II Foraker had aided instead Of at
tackled the legislation urged by Roose-
welt against the trusts, today Foraker
would not have been discredited. For
aker's desertion of the Standard as an
enemy Of the republic and his service
in fighting it, would have made his
name honored instead of the yellow
and smirched one which he now bears,
still uncleared.

UNcLEARED.

Those who thought that Foraker
would really clear himself have been
disappointed. Foraker has not dis
PEELED the charges against him so fab.
All that he has done is to show his un-
mitigated hatred OF Taft and Roose-
welt. Not only does he show his ha-
tired, but tries to do as much damage
as he can to Taft and Roosevelt. In
amount Of damage he has failed signal
", in yellowness he has succeeded be-
yond the point which Haskell attained
by calling Roosevelt a damned ras-
cal Foraker and Haskell both ap-
pear to follow the device known in log
ic as ''adhominem." which translated
into plain American is, when you
haven't case. abuse the opposing
counsel"
It is matter of common knowledge
that Foraker was well disposed toward
the Standard and to all appearances is
still so. He was one of the senators
who fought the administration at ev-
cry turn and the fact that he voted for
such measures as passed was not due
to his interest in them but because of
Roosevelt's efforts. Not only that,
but Foraker later came out into open
conflict with the administration which
was so earnestly fighting abuses For
aker did not vote for the rate bill-be-
cause he wanted to fight and discredit
Roosevelt. The rate bill is one of the
monuments of Roosevelts administra-
ton.
What is the conclusion? The con-
clusion is that Notwithstanding For.
aker's announcements that he was un-
der no obligation to the Interests
be was none the less the foe of the ad
ministration that fought them. There

A NEW ERA.

mond and Wayne county to a period
when they must take an invoice and
make plans for the future.
None Of us can remember when
Wayne included the State of Michigan
and Richmond was invisible to the
eye. Our eyes are blinded to mater
ial progress. 1t is psychological fact
that one can not perceive the move
ment of the minute hand of a watch.
1t is equally true that the jewellers Of
a community can not see the imme-
diateimprovement. That is the reason
for those men who say: Richmond is
dead; we shall never make any more
progress" The pessimists, however,
must have their eyes opened. History
repeats itself.
Fifty years ago the proprietors of
the Richmond Palladium got out di-
rectory of the young town. This direc-
tory contains history of Richmond
up to that time.
The compiler remarks:
eve have already said that in the
year 1924, Richmond contained 453
Inhabitants. The writer remembers
that at that time there were croakers
among u.s. (as they were called and
the language of these was, Richmond
has reached its zenith-there is moth
ing to keep 1t up-now you'll begin to
see it decline But" says the con-
mentor, now a new era was about to
dawn on Richmond"
The Fall Festival marks the begin
ming of another new era. 1t means
business regeneration. 1t means a larg-
er, better, buster, Richmond. It is
an answer to those who are "eroakers
among u.s.
Observers Of civic life have come to
but one conclusion in regard to such
affairs as the Fall Festival. They are
the only means by which a city may
help itself. The reason is plain. If
the system Of modern advertising has
any lesson to cities it is that they
must show themselves wide awake
and enterprising. Advertise.
A city can not be transported from
place to place-people must be brought
to see it.
We have beautiful city, good
streets, beautiful parks and healthy
surroundings.
Our schools, our churches, our nun.
icipal institutions, the library, Earl.
ham college-everythin ranks above
the other towns of our class.
What Richmond must demonstrate
and is demonstrating is that her fac
tories. her stores and the farms of the
county are superior to all others.
Richmond can do it and that is
what the Fall Festival means.
This awakening of Richmond is the
beginning of new era. This mus
be recognized by all of us and it will
be noted by the future historian O.
Richmond.

TROUBLE GATHERS
IN PORT[R'S PATH
Lincoln= n=Roosevelt League Is
Preparing to Shelve the
Banker Boss

There are days of political sorrow
ahead for Lieutenant Governors Warren
r. Porter down Watsonville way, where
the banker boss has ruled so long
with iron hand for .'the old man." as
he affectionately speaks of William f.
Herrin. Without trumpet blasts but
with a steadfast determination, an un-
dermining of the power of Porter has
been going on, and now when the Lin
coin Roosevelt republican league Is
about to move against him there comes
the positive assurance that the lieuten-
ant governor will not even be permitted
the empty honor of going to the ma
tional convention as the delegate from
that district.
Some weeks ago he communicated an
offer of a compromise to Chester H.
Rowen of Fresno. Rowell would be
permitted to have the delegateship
from over his way was the word the
lieutenant governor sent, If the Lin
Roosevelt league would not op-
pose Porter at the Watsonville end.
The leagues state organizer wouldn't
fall for it," was the report that Porter
made.
Reports from Santa Cruz and Wat
sonville are to the effect that the Por-
ter forces will be completely routed at
the primaries on May s. 1t is stated
that the people who have been pro-
testing against his delivery of delega-
tions to the Herrin machine have now
joined in a powerful movement that
seems likely to drive him off the map.
Porter has been one of the bulwarks
of the Organization" for many years
because of the grip he has held on
Santa Cruz county and his exertions In
surrounding counties. He has always
been faithful, always taking the or
ders of "old man Herrin> It Is the
philosophy of the lieutenant governor
that all human activity goes by pro-
gram and in politics his ears are al
ways pricked up for the whistle.
: If the Lincoln Roosevelt league is IN
strumental in depriving the banker
boss" of Watsonville of his JOY of de
livering" delegations to Herrin, then
will there be the grief of shattered
pride. At the league headquarters it is
given out as a certainty that Porter
will be beaten and that reliable infor-
nation has been received that he will
be silenced politically in the campaigns
of the wear.

RALLY AT SACRAMENTO

The Lincoln Roosevelt league will
have a big rally at Sacramento tomor-

type of politics has already been given
good test in the capital city and has
given cause for high appreciation by
the people. Mayor Clinton White, who
was elected on the league ticket, has
given an administrator that has re-
fiected very creditably on the reform
