Will Morris's father is very sick at
his home, with a slight chance for his
recovery. All the T. P. A. bows are
hoping the venerable gentleman viii.
fully recover from his sickness.
VIII some good T. P. A. please ex-
plain the following, that Daddy" Ry-
an writes in his Terre Haute Star. 1t
| looks as if these two old war horses
were fixing up something on US:
Brother O'Brien of c, please stand
up. We desire to shake with you
! across the state"
And this too, from the Bard of Ter
re Haute:
Won't somebody please whisper to
John Weber and Cars Kaddon ct al.
up there at South Bend. that we +. P.
AS down this way want live press
chairman up there. Just a lot of you
get around some fellow and "codd!e
him into it." That's the way they got
us fellows-Young, Harrington, kied
er, Scott and the writer. Just look at
US now. The salary does it ALL Do
you desire to ride~in your own auto
mobile like Kieder? Or in your own
aeroplane. like Young? Then get on
to the job of press chairman, quick
Millionaires and ordinary travelling
men looked alike to the hustlers at
Richmond. They captured one or two
of the first kind in the chase
We can't understand why a little
mortal like we are should be handled
in this way:
Our friend Kieder seems disposed TO
represent us as autitudinous in stat
ure. majestic in mien, and awe-inspir-
ing in anger. Your Marion people
may run up against the real thing. and
then how sorry you'll be. Why
should you jump on us. anyhow, Broth
err K? Why not take one of your own
size, like Young or Harrington? When
you speak of us, just say we are young
and handsome. There we draw the
line. The altitudinousness edits the
Richmond column.
We have heard nothing from our
friend Harry Thomas, who was mar
ried last week. And he promised to
send us the last tidings. too.
J. J. Hoerner is on the still hunt for
members down in dear old Corners
Vile and he promises to come home
with pocket full of applications.
President Quigg bought tickets for
Otis Skinner and got seats for DeWolf
Hopper. Somebody "flimflammed''
our esteemed officer a little and it
looks like Hegger was the guilty party.
We had in our midst last week some
of the hardest workers to be found in
the Indiana Division of the T. P. A.
and that means the best in the nation.
These fellows are all true, loyal and
sincere T. P. AS, ever ready to do a
turn that will benefit the organization
AS to their ability to gather in new
blood and make men become members
of our organization, no one can say
anythin other than complimentary.
But when some of these boosters. who
go out over the state, at the state
organizations expense. try to gobble
up everything in sight in the hope OF
adding to their own laurels altogether.
it is then time something was being
DONE It is not our purpose to speak
disparagingly of any one working here
last week ar from it. We have only
the highest words of praise for those
valiant workers. They have given
much of their time and deserve just
credit.
But Post c does not like to have
their applications go to the credit OF
some other post and individuals out
side of our own local post when writ
ten within our city. Every applicant
written on these canvasses should be
given to the local post for credit. At
least the post should be given the op-
portunity to do with them as they see
fit. This is a matter the state board
should act on, and at once, as the same
affair may come up soon in some Other
locality. OF course, we understand
everyone of these men are after prizes
but they must not forget that the local
posts have men also that are working
for prizes and should at least be con
sidered. Think the matter over gen
tlemen.
Ed Thatcher has been running sc
much of late after office and one thing
another that he is now running after
rabbits. Ed came in yesterday with
an arm full of the cotton tails and
Uncle Billy Kramer is resting easy for
a while and can take a short respite
from the careful watching of his hen
roost.
John H. Reddington of Post B, In
dianapolis. visited the club rooms
last night.
The following is clipped from Bro
Young's column in the Evansville Jour
nal:
"The Richmond fellows are expect
ing to take a big crowd to the stat;
convention at Fort Wayne next spring
They hope to have a company OF 15t
