The Wayne County Centennial committee has asked William Dudley Foulke to write a pageant commemorative of the centennial celebration of Indiana's acceptance into the Union. The choice of Mr. Foulke is a happy one. He combines both historical knowledge and literary ability emi nentfy qualifying him for the task. Wayne county, rich in historical associations, prominent in the development of the state's his tory, home of some of Indiana's famous men, owes it to itself to take an active part in the state-wide celebration of the event that is plan ned. City Editors to Come. The July meeting of the Indiana City Editors' association will be held in Richmond. Hassal T. Sullivan, city editor of. The Palladium, is the man who organized the first state organization of city editors in the United States. At the Indian apolis meeting Sunday, he was elected president of the national organization perfected as an out growth of the Indiana movement. To Mr. Sul livan falls also the honor of promoting the na tional organization. It is with pardonable pride that The Palladium refers to the enterprise of Mr. Sullivan. The movement he originated is an excellent one. It deserves success and he is wor thy of the honors that have been accorded him. schoolmaster, the utility corporations can speak out of the fulness of costly schooling. Had corporations a decade or two ago appre ciated that the public is long suffering but ter rible in reprisal, they would have given fair rates and good service. Now with the public preju diced against them, they are forced to "please the public." ; '. . , City Purchasing Agent. Mayor Bell of Indianapolis, is advocating a purchasing agent for that municipality. If a man with experience broad enough to know how to buy everything from stationery to street sweep ers can be obtained, the plan ought to be suc cessful. To make the innovation a success, "poli tics" must be eliminated, and a shrewd business man vested with the important task. A mediocre man, or one appointed because of his political af filiations will defeat the whole plan. How to Spend $20. The attempt of the school authorities to dis cover the value children place on money is bring ing to light a number of interesting develop ments. Each child is asked to state how it. would spend $20 on five friends. From the replies the school authorities hope to ascertain the value children place on money. Teachers ought to be able to drive home the lessons of thrift from the answers. The replies will give them a wide field to cultivate. "The Public Be Pleased." This is the new slogan of the heads of the commercial and industrial departments of the principal natural gas companies in Ohio, Ken tucky, Pennsylvania and Indiana, who met at Muncie last week. "The Public Be Pleased." Many years passed before the public utility corporations saw the sense of that principle, and in the meantime it has cost them millions of dollars to learn its truth. If experience is expensive and a cruel Customs Revenues in 1915. The department of commerce has issued sta tistics showing duties collected on imports into the United States from 1821 to 1915. Decreased customs revenues in the fiscal year 1915 clearly reflect the influence of war, which operated to cut off imports generally and espec ially merchandise from Europe, the .leading source of dutiable goods. While customs reve nues in 1914 amounted to $283,700,000, a de crease of $28,700,000, or less than 10 per cent, when compared with 1913, in the following year under war they fell to $205,800,000, being $78, 700,000, or 2716 per cent below the total for 1914. Customs revenues in the period from 1821 to 1845 averaged, roughly speaking, about $25,000, 000 a year; from 1846 to '1855, approximately $45,000,000 a year; in the succeeding decade, $60,000,000; in the thiry years from 1866 to 1895, $180,000,000; and in the last twenty years, a little more than $257,000,000 per annum, the lowest point bing $145,000,000 in 1898, and the highest $329,500,000 in 1907. Once upon a time there was a King who had a little daughter of whom he was very, very fond, and each rear on the anniversary of her birth he gave a party and Invited al the children far and near, rich and poor, to attend. The children carried gifts to the lit tle Princess, not that she expected them to do so or wished it. but be cause .they all loved the good King, her father. The parents of the chil dren sent flowers they had raised in their gardens, or a pitche. of rich cream, or a basket of their finest ber ries, or a pair of warm woolen stock ings which were made in one of the humble homes, or something that they had raised or made, and the little Princes was as pleased with each gift and not you. Tou must have a coach and not a pair of roses, for one of your station must not go to the party on foot." The beggar 'girl did not understand, but she did not question what was done for her again, and when the fairy called her to the door and told her to step into the beautiful white and gold carriage standing there she obeyed without a word. "But her gift," said the old woman "She must have a gift for the Prin cess, good fairy." "She will be all the gift the King and the Princess will want," replied the fairy. "Tell the King to look at the mark on your left wrist," she said to the beggar girl. "That will be all the gift you need take with you." Away rolled the coach and soon the beggar girl was at the door of the King. "And who is this guest?" Inquired the King, as he and the little Princess went to meet their late guest. "I was told to show to you the mark on my left wrist," was all reply the beggar girl made. When the King saw it he clasped her in his arms and kissed her; "she is your sister, your long lost sister who was stolen before you were born." he said to the little Princess, who stood wonderlngly by. ------- "Then I have the best gift of all my birthday presents," said the little Princess; "I have always wished for a big sister, and she is just a little 1 ' -ger than I. I am the happlestPrin cess in the world." The King made the party a long one, and it lasted for three days lnj honor of the returned of his lost' daughter, and everybody enjoyed with him and the little Princess their new found happiness.

Blame for the massacre of seventeen Americans at Santa Ysapbel a week ago today was placed squarely on the heads of Carranza border officials. , In a de tailed statement to the state depart ment of the conditions under which the American party entered Mexico, Collector of Customs Cobb at El Paso finds that the American party did not start for the mines until assurances had been received from the de facto officials that a military garrison had been sent there and "everything was quiet. as though it had been of great value. The day of the big party a little beggar girl sat on a stone by the side of the road crying bitterly as the children went past her with their gifts for the little Princess. "Why do you cry, my child?" asked an old woman who chanced to be passing. "Ob, good mother," sobbed the beg gar girl, "I want to go to the Princess' party, but I have no gift to carry to her. I am so poor I can hardly get enough to eat, and see, my feet are bare and my clothes are ragged. None of the other children Is as poor as I am." "Dry your eyes, my child," said the old woman, "and come with me; you shall go to the party and a gift you shall carry, too; come." The little baggar dried her eyes and followed the old woman, who led her along a path through the woods and stopped before a funny little home. "Come in," she said, opening the door. "First we must comb your hair and make it tidy, and then we will see what can be done for your torn dress, and you must have a pair of shoes and stockings, too." The old woman went to the chimney and tapped on the bricks three times, and right down that black sooty chim ney came the daintiest little fairy you can think of dressed in a pale green gauzy dress and carrying a little gold wand. "Well, Mother Goody, what can I do for yout asked the fairy. "Not for myself do I ask a boon, my fairy," said the old woman, "but for this poor child. I ask you to help her to go to the Princess' party: she has no shoes or stockings, and her dress is in. rags and she has no gift for the little Princess." "Dry your eyes," said the fairy to the little beggar girl. "I will help you and you shall take to the Princess something that she will love better than all the other gifts." Then she touched the beggar girl with her wand and her ragged clothes fell from her and in place of them appeared a beau tiful white dress and dainty shoes and stockings. "Oh! dear fairy," said the beggar girl, "I am . far too richly dressed. They will think I am a princess, too, if I go clothed like this." "Fear not, my child," said the fairy. "You must go dressed as I think best Crackers for die kiddies Yes let them have all they want; let them go to the green (outside) double-enamel, pure white (inside) Edgemont box of muscle-building, bone-forming Edgemont Crackers whenever they wish. .
