State Commission Chooses
1867 Acre Tract in Put
nam County With Expendi-
ture of $4,000.
IDEA DEVELOPS HERE
Purchase Follows Fight of
the Richmond Commercial
Club to Secure Legislature
to Pass Measure.

The movement launched by the
Richmond Commercial club several
years ago. and which later resulted in
statewide demand for a penal farm,
where certain classes of Jail prison
ers could be sent, eliminated yester-
day In the purchase of a site for the
farm, in Washington township. Put
nam county, consisting of 1867 acres.
The members of the commission
appointed by Governor Ralston by an
act of the Legislature, who selected the
site are DR.. S. E. Smith, Richmond,
superintendent of the Eastern Insane
Hospital; G. A. H. Shideler, Marion;
W. H. Hart, Indianapolis, and Willis
Hickam, Spencer.
The fact that site for penal farm
has at last been selected, and that it
is such desirable one, was hailed
with Joy by the members of the local
Commercial club who devoted so much
time and effort in putting a bill
through the last legislature providing
for such an establishment. 1t is re-
called that on the last day of the leg
islative session the bill had not passed
the senate, and how at the eleventh
hour Governor Ralston, acting on the

Announcement of the purchase was

governor last evening.
The governor went to the Claypool
hotel, where the commission had been
in session for several hours, to re-
ceive the report. He expressed his
thanks to the commission members

in locating the site for the institution.

SKIN ERUPTIONS
Evidence of Impure Blood and Ru
nN,nn rondi%ion

Evidence of Impure Blood and a Run
Down Condition.
When the blood becomes thin, poor
devitalized nature cries out through
such external evidence for help, and
the safest, surest and most helpful
remedy we know is Vinol.
This is because it is a combination
of the two most world famed tonics--
the medicinal curative elements of
cod liver oil without the oiD and
tonic iron for the blood. Vinol strength
ems the digestive organs, creates a
hearty appetite, purifies and enrichcs
the blood, creates strength.
Mrs. Helen Wingate, St. Louis,
Mo-. says: 81 was in very poor health,
nervous and rundown, and nothing
in the way Of medicine did me any
good until my druggist recommended
Vinol. 1t built up my health, restored
strength and 1 feel that l owe my life
to Vinol. I cannot praise it too high
ly."
We say positively there is nothing
like Vinol to purify and enrich the
blood and build up weak, rundown
people. II it should fail in your case
we will return your money. Leo H.

ideals into practics. The idealist inspires the
people to demand = thing: the pFacticalist en-
ables them TO secure that thing.
Both these classes are necessary. We cannot
do without the idealist because whore the vision
is lost, the people perish. We cannot do without
the practicalist. If visions cannot be realized,
they are verse than worthless.
As long as the ideaaist is content to inspire US
with visions of better things and doesn't attempt
the work of the practicalist, all is we'll. But
trouble ensues when he tries to do the other
mans work for which he is untitled. In putting
ideals into practice, the imagination and the elo-
quence of the idealist become a source of weak
ness and the man is sure to be discredited.
w. J. Bryan IN just now in that situation. As
the eloquent and persuasive idealist, able to
arouse the public to new visions of better coun-
try he was the peerless leader. AS man in
public office, undertaking the opposite task of
making those visions work, Mr.. Bryan is fail
ure. His stock has gone down q hundred per
cent.
His ideal of peace was fine. His methods for
realizing that ideal are bad. His vision of popu-
lar government was stimulating to all; his means
to attain popular government failure.
Humorists have poked deal of fun at Mr..
Bryan for going back to the Chautauqua plat
form. There is nothing funny about that. Mr..
Bryan as a Chautauqua orator is national
force. The only time Mr.. Bryan is material for
the humorists is when he is sitting in the office
Of the secretary of state.

The Charities Committee Report

The general provisions embodied in the report
made by the charities committee give every
promise of solving charity problem. One of
its best features is that it guarantees business
like system without disturbing any existing Or
ganization interfering with helpful work by
altruistic individuals. This will be arrived at
through the employment of trained worker to
serve as general superintendent of all relief
work in the city.
Some may object to the system recommend
ed by the committee on the ground that it is
"Organized charity scrimped and iced
In the name of cautious, statistical"
kind of brotherliness, reducing what should be
warm-hearted generosity to cold and calculating
mechanism. Just the opposite is true. Brother
hood demands that the needy be helped in a way
that will really help them and that ALL the
needy be helped. In other way can this be
realized than through system and expert knowl-
edge.
The securing Of Russell Sage specialist to
map out system adequate to our needs appeals
to us as one of the strongest features of the re-
port. That means the placing Of the organiza-
ton of this important work in the hands of those
especially fitted for it and the consequent avoid
ance of such blunders as are sure to be made by
green hands.
To those who object to having an outsider
come in to do this work for on the ground that
we know our own business, it may be said that
this is just what those who know their own bust
ness are doing. Efficient charity organization is
not something that can be left to the tender mer-
cies of the unskilled. The Russell Sage Founda-
ton has twenty million dollars behind it and en-
ploys the best talent in the country. Making use
OF the services of such organization is not
something of which we need be ashamed It is
something of which may be proud In max
ing this a fundamental provision for our charity
reorganization work, Mr.. White and his commit
tee deserve the gratitude of the whole commu-
nifty

Our Own Civil War

To those who huri verbal vitriol at the Me'u-
cans for being bandits, Indians, anarcnls1s ano
id greasers" and what-not, and VINO lnt hsaioe
of holy horror against the dreadful conda1lons
in the land of the poems, we suggest turning u
the eye toward Colorado In that state ABOVE
which the Stars and Stripes are floating, they
will discover condition every whit as disgrace
full as that obtaining in Huerta's land
In northern Colorado, $500 miners have been
on a chronic strike for three years. In southern
Colorado $4,000 have been out since last Septem-
ber They have made, of course, the usual de-
mands for shorter hours and more pay, but the
real crux of the trouble was a rebellion against
the use of exactly the same methods OF industrial
tyranny that have created Villa and his brigands
who are conducting still bloodier strike south
of the border.
Just as the landlords of Mexico called out the
Federal army to protect their plantations, the
mine lords of Colorado have demanded of the
President the use of the standing army, have IN
sisted that the Governor demolish the union with
the state militia, and have even called in 600
gunner, whom they have armed with machine
guns and instructed to shoot to kill in every dis
turbance These imported toughs have killed
more American citizens than have the Mexican
bandits and they have not hesitated to charge
on horseback through crowds of women and
children.
This dreadful situation, which seems daily to
get further from control by the authorities, is
one more bloody demonstration of the absolute
futty of our present methods of dealing with
labor troubles Even if the men are driven back
to work or Mr.. Rockefeller and his fellow mine
owners are forced to YIELD the suspension of hos
tilities will leave the root of the trouble un-
touched.
So also does this civil war reveal the serious
ness of our immigration problem. Of the almost
10000 strikers in the state, seventy per cent are
unnaturalized aliens with little or no conception
of the duties rights Of American citizenship.
Manifestly it is impossible to deal with them as
with those having the American point of view
To cope with these conditions, we need an in
dustrial craftsmanship, a thing rare as
it is valuable. We need men who can realize that
these various sporadic disturbances are merely
symptoms of fundamental injustices which lie
at the roots of our whole industrial SYSTEM

HORSES
IN LONDON SHOW
Animals Imported From Rus
STA for Exhibition Purpos-
es to Perform Here.

Perfection in the education Of
horses is something that always ex-
cites admiration. Every one loves a
horse, and every one loves to see their
intelligence developed. The Howe
reat London show, which is to be here
Thursday, May 7, has with it the most
proficient array of educated horses
ever shown in this country. While
one class of them are of foreign birth,
many of the eQuines whose intelli-
gence has been developed are Ameri-
can products.
In the class of educated horses are
twelve stations direct from the royal
stables of Russia. They were bred
and educated for the entertainment
of royalty, and it was only through
the intercession of the American min
lister that permission was obtained for
their performance here. They are con-
sidered by good judges of horses to
be the finest stations ever seen in this
country, and so evenly matched that
it is almost impossible to distinguish
one from the other. Their drills,
marches, dances, change of pace and
maneuvers are the embodiment of
grace and precision.
The class of high school menage
horses are all American stock, and
received their education from an Am
erican horseman. They are admitted
to be the most beautifully educated
horses to cakewalking, Waiting, fancy
stepping and trick performances tour
ing the world.
While this trained horse exhibition
is one of the features of the perform
ance, it is but one of many. The wise
ones will not forget the date of the
coming of the Howe Great London
show, as they will not lose this OPP
portunity to see the best.

MRs. BUDEL|ER'S
WORK DISCUSSED

Editor Sentinel:
We have been interested in notic-
ing the attempt made TO throw doubt
and dlstrust ON the need of this coun-
~ having a probation officer.
We are reminded that as far as the
needs are shown person has but to
follow the doings, footsteps and
court proceedings day by day to real
ize the enormous work done by this
office.
There is no county official ac-
quainted with the work. will say it
is needless office. We believe as
a taxpayer that II this county must
retrench it should not begin on the
office that protects its boys and girls.
There are other offices that could be
spared much better. Some complaint
We hear that the office is not al
ways successful in its efforts, Meth
er are the others. 1t was no fault of
the probation office that the father
i'm an adjoining town was let go free
after proof was brought by the Of
flee of his crime.
Some say the office is not covering
the county. We went to Headquarters
today and have learned that not a
call from any part of the county has
ever been neglected. This objection
can be better answered by helping
the present office in appointing dep
uties ia all outlying towns.
Perhaps little history of this Of
flee in the county may be OF interest

investigating its needs.
For years Mrs. Budelier as the

night whenever the need was shown
without pay and often at great ex-
pense TO her when need was evident
The work was more than one could
dc and attend TO home duties also, so
the local w. c. T. u. appointed an
assistant for the work. This was the
beginning of much needed work
that the city could not afford TO let

city at this time realizing the need
OF the work and its magnitude took
up the question of paying such an
officer In the city so that her whole
time could be devoted to it,
Then ii was that local people found
that the state had made ample pro-
vision for just such needs. There
fore by petition Judge Sullivan was
asked to create such an office, as it
came within his power TO do SO. Ma
