Editor of the Palladium:
! wish to make few remarks
through your paper in regard to Mr.
Herman Fredenberg, who was charg-
ed by Mrs. Beetle for the defrauding
Of board bill.
have known Mr.. Fredenberg for
some time past, and in my estimation
he is gentleman in every respect.
There was a mistake in regard to the
payment Of the account, as he had not
the slightest intentions OF defrauding.
1t was also stated that he was the
young man who was involved in trou-
BILE by the proprietor Of the Jungle. a
concern which was in business here
about a year ago. If the party who
knows the circumstances would tell
what they know in regard to this
matter it would fully exonerate Mr..
Fredenberg from any crime whatever.
A FRIEND.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. q,


indianapolis, Jan. q.
Every day you hear something new
about the prospect for the repeal OF
the county local option law, until you
can scarcely make up your mind
whether it will be repealed or not.
Yesterday Senator Orndorf, of Hunt
ington, Whitley and Kosciusko coun-
ties, was nearly swamped with letters
from ministers of Huntington county
urging him to oppose the repeal of the
law. It seemed that nearly all Of
Huntington county was on his trail.
Orndorf Is Opposed.
Orndort is opposed to the county
local option hill and will vote for its
repeal. He sad SO yesterday. But
he believes it shotfd be replaced by a
law similar to the Pennsylvania law,
under which there is high license and
all licenses are issued by the judge
of the circuit court. The Judge has
power to revoke the license for any
cause that appears to him o justify
revocation. .s ...
Senator Will r. Wood, of Lafayette,
and Senator Edgar Durre, OF Fans
vile, are outspoken in favor Of the
repeal of the county local option law
Wood, however, wishes it replaced
with a high license law. He is not TO.
the straight-out repeal without condi
ton. but would not accept the demo
cratic declaration in favor Of ward
and township local option.
Says County Wants II.
Durre says he is for unconditiona.
repeal because his county wants it
He says he wishes to represent hii
| people.
I, Senator Gonnerman, Of Mt Vernon
is said to be in favor of the repeal
also, but he is not making any state
ment in regard to it.
| On the other hand it is said tina
there are three democrats in the sen
ate who will oppose the repeal of thu
county option law even as against TIKI
democratic bill for township and ware
option. This makes it extremely
doubtful If the repeal bill can be pass
ed in the senate.

ART lMPoRTArioNs.

The United States Of America is
the only country in the world which
has q prohibitive tariff on works Of
art. For many years 1t was asserted
that the tariff was put on these
things under the protective tariff to
promote the welfare OF American art
lists. The fact Is however. that the
artists Of America are the ones who
are strongest IN their protest that the
tariff schedules either be removed or
much decreased. An illustration of
this IL the attitude Of James Mcneil
Whistler. who remained an exile all
his life in Europe.
He was once asked when he was
coming back to America. and his re-
ply was. when the duty on art is re-
moved"
A few years ago when his paintings
and etchings were being collected by
the Copley society for an exhibition.
he was appealed to for assistance. but
refused. saying: God bless me! why
should you hold an exhibition OF pic
lures In America? The people do not
care for art"
How do you know? Why. haven't
you law to keep out pictures a-r.7
statuesf Is it not In black and white
that the works Of the great masters
must not enter America, that they are
not wanted? A people that toleratea

REAL RECLAMATION.

At q church dinner given In the
last week there were many speakers
on matters religious and humanitar-
ian. One speech stood out from the
rest--not in the matter Of oratory nor
IN intellectual grasp,-but In the real
truth Of glaring need.
This speech was made by Mr.. Wig
more OF this city who has for many
years been actively engaged in prison
work. The argument Of Mr.. Wig
more concerned the habitual drunk
ards who are given "a dollar and
costs" to work off in the county Jail.
He saidb
I'm my opinion it is a crime against
the cause of humanity and Christian
ity that habitual drunkards should be
placed. with criminals Of all sorts In
the county Jail. The drunkard should
be treated as a man suffering from q
perilous disease. It is far more I'M
portant to found homes where men OF
this. sort may be made into good cit-
zens than homes for epileptics."
Not only is Mr.. Wigmore right IN
his contention (for it is fact undis-
puted among the authorities) but al
most any man who has any cogniz-
ance OF the making Of hoboes and
other parasites of the human race
will support him in the assertion
that the average drunk is in his first
stages not criminal. 1t is very often
the case that young men especially
who are guilty OF habitual intoxicadon
do become enemies Of society. But
the cause IL not SO much the society
on the outside as the society on the
inside Of the jail.
Moreover the mere fact Of sending
a man to jail is serious thing to the
man who has q shred Of self respect
land most inebriates have In their
sober moments the same feelings a.
the rest OF mankind.) II these per
sons could be Gas they should bel
treated for the disease from which
they suffer we would have a decrease
in both drunks and crime.
The voting OF the town dry will
have some effect for the better in Ger
tain quarters. 1t will not affect those
who are suffering from alcoholism. Al
the morphine eater and the coke fient
get their dope in the most closet,
guarded sanitariums so the sufferer
from alcoholism will get his hquo1
even with the town dry. Drug habits
can, be. II taken in time. cured and 81
can inebriates. What Is meant will
be seen more clearly II the whisk!
habit Is placed on the same plan'
with other drug habits. The sufferer
should be treated as patients not a
criminals. There is no surer way o
making man q criminal than b,
treating him as one and giving him |
kick downward.

To the Editor:
There are many lines Of argument
that may be presented upon the is
sues involved in the crusade against

suit Of the local option election call.
but no argument that have heard

sation between two young men. It
seemed to me as page from the book
Of life and I feel ought to be made pub
lie.
The young men were warm In their
discussion Of the merits and dement's
Of the saloon business. Said one: Il
signed the petition. Why not? They
came on Sunday and the folks were all
at home. II 1 had refused to sign, it
would have shown to my folks that l
feel friendly to the saloons. Now my
mother is dead set against the sa-
looms. She had a brother who went
| wrong and she has told me lots of
times she would rather bury me than
know took drink. She says she
would rather see me in my grave than
in saloon. Now she is what you
might call radical on the proposition

The stitch is taken so that the side

embroidery without the b%uttonholed
effect on edge Of design. and gives a

Priest Refuses to be Moved

St. Louis, Mo-, May 1.-The Rev. John A. Tracy, pastor of the Catholic Church of Our Lady of Good Counsel, who has been transferred by Arch bishop Glennon to Evansville, Jeffer- son County, Mo, a hamlet of 150 souls, twelve miles from a railroad. said to-day that ho would not accept the assignment.
 "I'll never go there; that's out of the question: he said. q cannot take it because I ann not able. I can't say what I'll do just yet Between my doc tor and baseball, however, I expect to stay here and get well.''
 Father Tracy's statement is thor oughly characteristic of the man. He is known as most enthusiastic base ball 'fan," and hardly a game is play ed in St. Louis when the venerable churchman is not in a grand stand seat near the third-base line.
 Father Tracy is best known to St. Louisans, perhaps by acts of heroism in which he participated. Five years ago in Philadelphia he distinguished himself signally in handling the maim- ed when a baseball pavilion collapsed killing F and injuring more than 300 others.
 On another occasion Father Tracy interrupted two highwaymen robbing a man and put the desperadoes to flight. In front of the Southern Hotel several years ago Father Tracy saved a Mex ican named Tamayo from the wheels of a car.

Germany is concededly the most ad- vanced of all nations in air navigation Not only is the government experi- menting extensively with airships for use in war, but the people are also or ganizing clubs and societies, offering prizes, etc. Companies have even been organized to construct airships for the market. It has been found pos sible to limit weight to S.S pounds for each horse power. On the other hand, the German gun manufacturers are making guns for use against airships. One gun throws a two-inch projectile 10000 feet in the air. but there is diff culty in obtaining the exact range. The airshipS are likely to be principally used for reconnaissance purposes, but may be fitted for the dropping of bombs, though there would be great difficulty in hitting the target, espec- ially if the airship should be 10000 or more feet in the air-that is, out of gun range. But whatever advantage is to be gained in war from aerial navi- gation, Germany evidently intends to reap it.

7 Senator Aldrich. chairman of the Senate Finance Committee which has reported the tariff revision bill now un- der consideration, says he has not read the reports of the hearings given by the Ways and Means Committee of the House. It is quite evident from his ,oill that he did not, although consider
 ation of the evidence taken by the House committee would seem to have been one of his more urgent duties. If, as reported, the more important sched- ules of the Senate bill were to be really constructed by the interested interests, Senator -Aldrich probably saw no ne cessity for reading the voluminous records |of the House hearings.
