RILEY'S FIRST
HIT.
Wrote) a Poem "by Poo" and
Palmed
It on the Public.
James Whltcomb Riley begnn his ca
reer In n newspnper office In Anderson,
Ind., by writing humorous rhymes ns
"advertising locals" "doggerel" he
called them. At the same time he
wrote many rhymes with the serious
intention of having them, if possible,
recognized as pocuib. But he could not
get them published. Even composi
tions whoso worth ho had tested thoso
that "would please people when I'd
stand up and rend 'em to them" would,
bo returned promptly by every maga
zine to which hcoffered them for pub
lication. The Hoosler dialect was too
"low down" for tho average mngazlno
editor.
Finally In a freak of boyish Indigna
tion, to prove that what editors really
wanted wns not originality, but Imita
tion, ho devised the scheme of writing
a poem In Imitation of Poo and of
palming it off on tho public as a real
poem of Poo's recently discovered. Tho
scheme was very skillfully planned
and very deftly executed and success
ful beyond anything tho clever deviser
of It had ever dreamed. From one end
of tho country to the other "Leonalnle"
wns hailed as a veritable "And," n bit
of genius' most genuine ore. Riley had
his revenge. He had some trouble,
however, In proving that ho was not an
Intentional forger.
He lost his nowspaper position, but
he immediately got nn6ther and better
oue on the Indianapolis Journal. "Come
and get pay for your work," said Judge
Martludale, tho editor. Tho turn In the
tide had come.
- A BORN SOLDIER.
Major General Stuart, the Dashing
Cavalry Leader.
Mnjor General J. E. U. Stuart of the
Confederate cavalry was a soldier by
nature. Dashing nud daring, cool In
the face of danger, he waa one of the
brave and nleturesquo llgures of the
civil war. II. II. McClellan quotes In
"Life and Campaigns of Major General
Stuart" from General Fltz-IIugh Lee'H
impression of tho future cavalry lead
er while ho was still at West Point:
"I recall his distinguishing charac
teristics, which were strict attention to
military duty; erect, soldierly bearing;
Immediate and almost thankful accept
ance of a challeugo to tight from any
cadet who might feel himself in nny
way aggrieved and n clear, ringing
voice."
Stuart was a most cheerful soldier.
That "clear" voice of his was often
used In Blnging his favorite war song:
If you want to havo a good time,
Jlno tho cavalry.
Ills courageous attltudo was held
until the very eud. lie was wounded
by a pistol on tho battlefield. As he
was being carried away ho noticed tho
disorganized ranks of his retreating
men.
"Go back!" he called out. "Go back!
Do your duty as I havo dono mine!
Go back! I'd rather die thau bo whip
ped!" Thoso were his last words on the
field of battle. Later ho said, with the
same courage:
"I'm going fast now. God's will be
done."
Sheridan on being asked how wo
came to call Gibbon "luminous," an
Bwered, "I said 'vo-lumlnous.'"
Why Indiana's
Governor Hates
The Liquor
Traffic.
M8HMH8K8M,ERSON-ALIiy J have
X
Pi
liquor traffic in tho last four years, bo much of its
economic waste, bo much of its physical ruin, bo much
of its mental blight, so much of its tears and heart
ache, that I havo come to regard the business as ono
that must bo held and controlled by STRONG AND
LAWS.
cfr$83fr$
EFFECTIVE
I bear no malico toward thoso ongaged in the business, but I hato
tho traffic. I hato its every phase. I hate it for its intolerance. I
hato it for its arrogance. I hato it for its hypocrisy. I hato it for its
cant and craft and false pretenses.
I HATE IT FOR IT8 COMMERCIALISM. I HATE IT FOR ITS
GREED AND AVARICE. I HATE IT FOR ITS SORDID LOVE OF
GAIN AT ANY PRICE. I HATE IT FOR ITS DOMINATION IN POLI
TICS. I HATE IT FOR ITS CORRUPTING INFLUENCE IN CIVIC AF
FAIRS. I HATE IT FOR ITS INCESSANT EFFORT TO DEBAUCH
THE SUFFRAGE OF THE COUNTRY, FOR THE COWARDS IT MAKES
OF PUBLIC MEN.
I hato it for its utter disregard of law. I hato it for its ruthless
trampling of the solemn compacts of state constitutions.
I hato it for THE LOAD IT STRAPS TO LABOR'S BACK,
for tho palsied hands it gives to toil, for its wounds to genius, for tho
tragedies of its might havo beens. I hate it for tho human wrocks
it has caused.
I hato it for tho almshouses it peoples, for tho prisons it fills, for
tho insanity it begets, for its countless graves in potters' fields. I hato
it for tho mental ruin it imposes upon its victims, for its spiritual
blight, for its moral degradation.
I hato it for THE CRIMES IT IIAS COMMITTED. I hate
it for tho homes it has destroyed. I hate it for tho hearts it has
broken. I hato it for tho malice it has planted in tho hearts of men,
for its poison, for its bitterness, for the dead sea fruit with which it
starvea their souls.
I hato it for tho GRIEF IT CAUSES WOMANHOOD -the
scalding tears, the hopes deferred, the strangled aspirations, its burden
of want and care.
I hato it for its HEARTLESS CRUELTY to the aged, tho
infirm and tho helpless, for the shadow it throws upon tho lives of
children, for its monstrous injustice to blameless little ones.
I hato it as virtue htues vice, as truth hates error, as righteousness
hntes sin, as justice hates wrong, as liberty hates tyranny, as freedom
lmtcs oppression.
I HATE IT A8 ABRAHAM LINCOLN HATED SLAVERY. AND, A3
HE SOMETIMES SAW IN PROPHETIC VISION THE END OF SLAV
ERY AND THE COMING OF THE TIME WHEN THE SUN SHOULD
SHINE AND THE RAIN SHOULD FALL UPON NO SLAVE IN ALL
THE REPUBLIC, SO I SOMETIMES CEEM TO SEE THE END OF
THIS UNHOLY TRAFFIC. THE COMING OF THE TIME WHEN, IF
IT DOES NOT WHOLLY CEASE TO 3E, IT SHALL FIND NO SAFE
HABITATION ANYWHERE BENEATH OLD GLORY'S STAINLESS
STARS.
Does Federal Executive
Power Exceed the Czar's?
By Ex-Judse JAMES JAY
H K president of the United States, for whom I entertain
warm personal regard nncl political attachment, for in many
respects he is a good Democrat, has said that congress should
rogulato and control tho business of all corporations engaged
in interstate commerce, especially tho railroads, and should regulate
their output of securities.
Yet what man who has any respect for fundamental law believes
that thero should bo left to tho federal government A POWER
VASTER THAN" THE CZAR ENJOYS? If that were done, who
could dislodge a party in power, for how much greater than tho control
of tho postal service and the railroads is tho control of all business ?
THE PROPER POSITION FOR EVERY PATRIOT TO TAKE IS
THAT IF THESE THINGS ARE RIGHT TO BE DONE THEY ARE TO BE
DONE BY AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Without discussing tho need for regulating corporations such usur
pation of powor might well FRIGHTEN A LIBERTY LOVING
PEOPLE. And tho danger of it is that good men aro promulgating
this doctrine. An evil man would bo suspected. If wo always had a
benevolent despot it would bo all right to enact such laws. Who can
say how long representative democracy would last under such conditions.
This Is the Day of Days For
Young' Men In Public Life.
By Senator ALBERT J.
c
rIIE public mnn elected by
principles and policies of thoso who ulect him i3 dishonest,
but such a man who does not caro for tho citizens of tho party
opposing him as much as for tho citit ens of his own party is
too narrow for twentieth century American public life.
NEVER IN HISTORY WAS THERE SUCH A DAY FOR YOUNG
MEN IN PUBLIC LIFE AS THAT WHICH HAS NOW DAWNED.
AMERICAN PUBLIC LIFE IS CRYING ALOUD FOR MEN WHO ARE
HONEST, INDUSTRIOUS AND EQUIPPED.
You cannot sit in your clubs and servo tho republic. You cannot
lock yourselves in your library and solve tho nation's problems. You
cannot dally in society and perform tho country's service.
You must MINGLE WITLT ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S PLAIN"
PEOPLE, and this is not abasement, but excitation, for at the fire
sides of the millions dwell tho purity and powor of tho land, and there
also abides its hope. You must walk the common earth, whence came
Antaeus' strength, and this will not lower you, but will lift you higher
still. The LOFTIEST TDEALS spring from tho grass roots.

Swiss Naval Wars.
References to tho Swiss navy are
usually Jocular, but It Is none the less
a fact that ships of war once floated
and even fought on the waters of tho
luke of Geneva. Tho great fleet was
that of the Duke of Savoy, who at the
beginning of tho fourteenth century
maintained a number of war galleys
armed with rams and protected by
turrets and propelled by a crew of
oarsmen varying la number from for
ty to seventy-two. These vessels be
Bleged Versolx and even blockaded
Geneva. But Geneva also had a fleet
which helped In tho capture of Chllon
In 153C, and when the Bernese an
nexed the canton of Vnud they, too,
had their flotilla. Their largest vessel
was tho Great Bear, with 04 oarsmen,
8 guns nnd 150 fighting men. West
