COUNTY LOCAL OPTION AGAIN.

COUNTY LOYAL OpIION ANAIN.
Whatever comments are made on
the defeat by the state senate of the
county local option repeal bill-it must
be remembered that the majority of
these men are republicans. The state
republican platform of last spring was
unequivocal in its statements for the
present law. To have disregarded
that platform would not only have
been bad politics but clear admis-
sion Of the insincerity of the cam
paign pledges.
We have had 2 proof that county
local option is the will of the majority
although up to this time most of
that majority has been dry. Were
there no other reason for prolonging
the life OF the bill it would be enough
to try it out ito its ultimate end. In a
few years we shall know whether or
not dry county is really dry or
whether there are blind tigers ram
pant. This is reported and declared
to be the reason why Richmond went
wet. Why not get to the root of the
matter by finding out which is right?
To those liquor dealers all over the
state-the brewers included-it might
be mentioned that the time may not
be SO many years off when they will
be glad to embrace county local OPP
tion as an alternative to state wide
prohibition. To liquor dealers every
where in this day of agitation-it must
be borne In mind that their appeal
should not be made to the liberal ele-
ment-but to the conservative citizens
and that this appeal shall be with
manly and law abiding good citizen
ship. The course followed by the
Richmond liquor dealers is the only
one which makes for longevity of
their trade as they have themselves
testified.
The quarrel should not be with the
republican senator's for doing what
was their obvious duty.

Editor Palladium:


Dear sir-Win you print this article
in your paper and in as conspicuous a
place as YOU. did the article in your is
sue of March LIST in relation to the al
legged fight in which the Reverend Mr.
Walters had part.
We regret that there is any founda-
tion at all for the report which you
printed. The statements In the arti-
Gle are gross exaggerations Of the facts
It seems that the fact that parties are
active temperance workers and were
prominent in the recent local option
campaign. has prompted the persons
who furnished your reporters the alleg.
ed information, to greatly magnify the
affair and make mountain of mole
hill, for the purpose of discrediting
Reverend Walters by procuring the
publication of the false statements to
which he had no opportunity of reply
ing or explaining
The fact is, that the Reverend Wal
ters' purpose throughout the affair was
that OF peacemaker. He had no in
tention of engaging in a brawl. He
was attempting to protect man whom
he believed was likely to be injured
and Mr.. Feemster says that Reverend
Walters did not strike him at any
time and there was nothing in the af-
fair to the discredit of his character as
a minister.
The citizens of Cambridge City fee,
that they desire fair treatment and q
fair statement of fact at your hands.
and that they have not received it. If
the parties have broken the law in any
respect they are willing to submit to
the law. Neither of the parties have
any unkind feeling toward the other,
and we think that the feeling Is gen.
eral, that all the fair minded people
here believe that the prosecution of the
Reverend Walters would be uncalied
for and unjust.
The Reverend Walters throughou
the two years of his ministry here has
earnestly opposed violations of law.
intemperance and the traffic in iptoxi-
eating liquors. and his efforts have
been effective and have aroused the
hostility of the element which stands
for those things which he has opposed,
and we believe that is what inspired
the mis-statements that were made
concerning him.

Either Sign or Veto the
Measure.
is IT UNCONSTITUTIONAL?
CHIEF EXECUTIVE iNTIMATES
THIS TO BE THE CASE IN sPE.
GAL MESSAGE-coURT MUST
TEST THE POINT.
Palladium Bureau,


Indianapolis, March 5.
The Sunday baseball bill will be-
come a law without the signature of
Governor Marshall. and it will remain
law at least until the courts declare
it unconstitutional. Governor Mar
shall made this decision yesterday
evening and sent a message to the
house containing that information.
The governor declined to either sign
or veto the bill. He said he had al
ready vetoed one bill of the kind and
the fact that the legislature had imme-
diately passed another similar bill in
dicated to him that the legislature
would probably pass this bill over his
veto. He said he had in a previous
message explained his views on the
question OF Sunday baseball. He had
said that he was opposed to Sunday
games. but that he did not care to in
flict his personal views further on the
legislature.
Views Of Governor.
The new bill. he said. he believed to
be unconstitutional for the reason that
while baseball is amusement for the
public. there is great amount of man.
ual labor in it for the ones who fur
nish the amusement. But he said he
decided not to veto the bill the second
time for fear that the people might
say he was basing his veto on his per-
sonal views alone. He said that
while the people alternately applaud
and criticise the legislature and the
governor there is one branch of the
state government to which all citizens
bow in perfect submission. and that is
the judiciary. He said he felt that
it was the duty of the judiciary of the
state to determine once for all whether
or not Sunday baseball is constitu-
tional. and for that reason he would
allow the bill to become law without
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-03-05

his signature, in order that the mat
ter might be determined finally and
thus settle for all time to come just
what is right in the matter.
The governor said that he would de-
post the bill with the secretary of
state at the end of three days from
the time he received it.
There was a mild demonstration in
the house when the message was read.
Supporters of the bill cheered and let
out vigorous war whoops.

RoosEvELT's FIRST EDITORIAL.

If there is one thing more than an
other in which Mr.. Roosevelt has al
ways succeeded 1t is in the matter of
being what magazine editors call
timely, and what others with a lik-
ing for the full favored phrases call
being hot off the bat" His two ad-
ministrations were one long process

some of them indeed arriving a little
ahead of time for those who were en-.
gagged in the diversion of picking the
winner on the stock market
It is not surprising then that the
first editorial by Mr.. Roosevelt in the
Outlook should be timely in bearing
directly on one of the last things
which occupied his official and private
thoughts-the Press. It might almost
seem that in every sentence he had
placed before him the vision of the
World and News as horrible example
which he wished to throttle.
We have heard much in the last few
months on the liberty of the press. but
none of it has been quite OF the whole

ExPresident:
Every owner, editor or reporter of
a conscientiously and ably conducted
newspaper or periodical is an asset of
real value to the whole community. It
would be difficult to oyerestimate the
amount OF good which can be done BY
the men responsible for such publ
cation-responsible for it's editorial

Tarift-revision will doubtless be the
skorlo Of the next congress and the re-
vision OF the Sherman act will occupy
1ts attention later. In all these Mr..
Taft will participate and will mold as
tar as an executive can. But in one
thing alone mentioned in his address,
will he have solution to work out by
himself and for himself. That is the
matter Of Southern patronage. The
query raised by Mr.. Taft as to whether
It really does the negro cause any good
to put members of its race in federal
positions in the South on account of
the animosity which it stirs up is al
most the first time this question has
been considered in public by those
who have had patronage to distribute.
The nicely of judgment shown in
this opinion on the problem which has
vexed Americans from Lincoln's time
on. Is a good omen for the other ques-
lions which Mr.. Taft will have to solve
This view OF the race problem is SO
sane that 1t brings hope to the contro-
versies OF labor and capital, the Japa-
uese situation. and all the phases OF
the trusts.
It is not that the negro question
above mentioned. is the one above all
others that will engage Mr.. Taft's
time. but the attitude OF the man in
solving vexed question which makes
this treatment key to his future
work. It Is like a prelude to the dra-
ma. which is about to begin, which
prepares the spectators for what is to
follow.
In,the last campaign we heard much

fact that he has borne this in mind in

doubtless be surprised as many times
