THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM

Entered at Richmond Postoffle as Second Class Matter

FRIDAY MORNING, RICHMOND, IND.

DlscHargc of Ncro Troops.

In gome quarters criticism has arisen over the action of President Roosevelt in dishonorably discharging the negro troops at Fort Reno. In

view of the facts of the case this criticism Is unjustified and without

doubt Is spread about by those Interests always seeking some pretext to

discredit Mr. Roosevelt in the eyes

Several months ago some soldiers from the 23th infantry regiment.

colored, "shot up" the town of JBrownsville, Texas, and in the disturbance a citizen of the town was killed. The soldiers responsible for the trouble

came from three companies of the

their comrades, who refused to divulge the names of the guilty ones.

Inasmuch as the rest of the men in officers bring the culprits to justice

dent, In ordering their dismissal without honor, acted for the best Interests of the army and of the entire country. Every fair minded citizen will agree that it would never do to permit men in the army, no matter hiark or white, to shield one another from the

consequences when they break the get the idea that it is responsible

being well disciplined it would degenerate into a rabble of ruffians, robbers and murderers. And such actions as those indulged In by the col

ored troopers in Texas are but forerunners of such a condition. The country must rule the army and to do so, stern measures must be taken to

keep it well in hand. People must was directed against a set of unruly groes, but because they refused to the members of their companions

bad ended In murder. The question of color does not enter into consideration at all. Had the soldiers' been white instead of black, they would have been discharged without honor just the same. The real question is one of deed and not of color. . FICTION IN AMERICAN HISTORY;

RECORDS PARTICULARLY IN ERROR

Mir n rOr inbldllti: IIICIC mic nv lULluii rn.uu:c Ui icaiia, oiiu iuni-amo to Washington The fact that a large proportion of all the history of all the world is false Is perhaps known to few people. That American history particularly abounds In errors, blunders and stereotyped falsities is known to even a smaller number. Walpole, wishing to amuse his father after an unusually wearisome day, proposed reading to him from a book of history. "Anything but history," said the old man, "for history must be false." When it Is considered that historians in every period of the world have been narrowed and biased by personal opinion and surrounding circumstances the wisdom of this remark Is perceived. The worst part of It all Is that when once a mistake has been made it has rarely been rectified, each succeeding historian being content to accept as facts the work of those who went before him. The ultimate result of this was that the mistakes were believed by those who read them, and events in history that never happened or were false were accepted by the world and ever after known as the markers of important epochs. For Instance, the battle of Lexington, which occurred April 19, 1775, Is known as' the first battle between the colonists and the British. But this was not so, for the records of Orange county. N. C, show that on the road from Hillsboro to Salisbury on May 36, 1771. au engagement between a squad of British troops and a body of colonists took place, in which thirtypix men were killed and several wounded. The trouble was caused by the resentment of the colonists over the ille gal taxes imposed by the British clerk of the countv conrt. Historians persist in saying and peo ple persist In, believing that the breast works thrown up by General Jackson at New Orleans were made of cotton bales covered with earth. As a matter of fact, there was not a pound of cot ton on the ground, and this fact has been verified by Major Chotard, Gener al Jackson's assistant adjutant gener al, who was himself a participant in the battle. A well known engraving that nearly always appears in modern school histories is that of General Cornwallis hand ing his sword to General Washington at the surrender of Yorktown, and this In spite of the fact that, to spare Cornwallis the humiliation. General O'Hara gave his sword to General Lincoln in token of surrender. Fossibly In the course of time the battle of Bunker Hill will be rightly called the battle of Breed's Hill, and, to return to ancient history, the marvelous chronicles of Herodotus will be discredited. It is told in history that Hannibal cut his way across the Alps with iron, fire and vinegar, but the question still remains as to how he applied the vinegar. The conflicting accounts of the life of Napoleon go to illustrate the discrepancies of many historical writers. All have beard the words, "All Is lost but honor," attributed to King Francis I. In a lettrr to a woman, yet when this letter wrs referred to for the phrase it was not to U found there. And, agnin. when Louis XVI. laid his bead lHn irh t!) C-iiltlof !c mnfac. WANT A

If you want a turkey for your Thanksgiving dinner be sure and try sour luck in the Palladium Contest next Sunday. The different advertisements which appear in the Sunday Issue will contain the name "turkey" ry numerous places and not necessarily in the same face type. Count the number of times tho word "turkey" appears altogether in all advertisement? and hand the number you get in to the Palladium office Monday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock. All numbers will be deposited in a box and beginning at 10 o'clock the first number taken from the box that is correct, gets the turkey.

Cicero alludes to it as an "old proverb." It would take volumes to contain all the blunders, small, large and indifferent, that historians have made, and the lamentable part of it is that the old blunders are constantly being made over again, so that, with the errors that are bound to occur in the history of the present and the mis takes that our forefathers made and which we are still making, history In time will become little more than a long though extremely interesting work of fiction.

STARTED A STIR BY HIS DEMANDS

Call for the Resignation of Judson Clements in Com mercial Congress. DISCRIMINATION ALLEGED ' A DELEGATE WANTS CLEMENTS TO RETIRE FROM THE COM MERCE COMMISSION OR HAVE THE PRESIDENT REMOVE HIM. IPablishers PressJ Kansas City, Nov. 22. At .ne com mercial congress George J. Kindel of Denver, who replied Tuesday in a heated manner to E. H. Harriman's statements to the congress regarding railroad matters, again took occasion to deny Harriman's claim "that all freight rates go down rather than up, and to criticise caustically his statement that the government should give the railroads more power. Then Kindel created a stir by intro ducing a resolution demanding that, because of a certain ruling which Kin del declared to be discriminative. Judson C. Clements of the Interstate commerce commission be requested to resign from the commission on ac count of Incompetency and, in the event of his refusal, that the presi dent of the United States order an in vestigation and on satisfactory proofs of his charges, he demand Judson's resignation." The resolution was referred to com mittee without debate. Paul Thieman, editorial writer of the Denver Post, one of the Colorado delegates, made a rather sensational speech on "Excessive Political Imag ination." He said in part: "What is the matter with Colorado? Nothing DUl imagination, ine worm nas neara much of the terrible troubles of Colorado. These terrible troubles have resulted from excessive political im agination. For years we have been in one continual campaign. In no other place on earth is there such complete and unrestrained license of free speech and free press as In Colorado, and this condition has turned loose political Imagination to such an ex tent that finally Colorado has become a hypochondriac state, causing itself to cure imaginary evils and groaning over ills produced by excessive polit ical imagination. Finally, Colorado has realized this truth and is well again. It never was sick. It suffered from excessive imagination. Denver and Colorado are booming now. They might have boomed long ago except for imagined evils. We of Colorado know the mischief imagination does. We are now fully convinced that it is our duty to warn the nation at large against the folly we experienced.' When William J. Bryan entered the hall he was applauded. He will speak Friday. Secretary of Treasury Shaw spoke on "American Finance" at the session Thursday afternoon. IS GIVEN SWIFT JUSTICE MURDERER IS HANGED Crime Was Committed on November 17 and the Execution Took Place Just Five Days from That Time Others May Be Arrested. trubllshers' Pressl center, Tex., Nov. 22. Dick Gar rett, the negro who killed Dr. M. M. Paul Nov. 17, was legally hanged here, After the grand Jury returned an in dictment Wednesday, the scaffold was constructed on the public square, the trial was held, lasting from 9 to 11 o'clock and the execution took place at noon. The troops stationed at the jan to prevent threatened mob vio lence have departed and all excite ment is over. Dr. Paul was killed by Garrett, whom he was endeavoring to arrest for displaying a weapon on the streets. The negro sought refuge at the home of H. B. Short and killed Dr. Paul when he entered. It was charged at the time that Short and his broth offered protection to Garrett and instructed him to resist arrest. Short who is in a state of nervous prostra tion, made & statement denying that he instructed the negro to kill any one who attempted his capture. His condition is critical.

Humor aCd Philosophy Mr UMCAlf M. SMITH

PERT PARAGRAPHS Being a gossip is having a lot of toned company. Having an opinion of your own is ah excellent thing when it doesn't cause you to lose money. No man likes toee his wife work for anybody but himself. The average woman knows as much about politics as the ' average man knows of domestic economy. All lies are detestable unless they bear the mark of our own branding iron. The reason that most men are not jealous of their wives is because they haven't a chance to be. When you can no longer argue, quote poetry. It makes us feel bad when we find that our wrights are all wrongs. r Nobody but a fool ever tries to show a man that he isn't as clever as he thinks he Is. By some people it is considered quite honorable to tell a lie by keeping your, mouth shut. Mighty Poor Smoking It is claimed that the tobacco trust has been buying up legislatures In the east and elsewhere. This is mighty Interesting, especially to smokers who would like to know what the tobacco trust might want with a bunch of green statesmen. If they propose to grind them up and put them on the market mixed with a choice brand of cut plug to add flavor. the discriminating legislator wants to know It. He may approve of roasting the legislature, but he will be hornswaggled and a few things like that if he wants to smoke them. Of course the naughty trnst may want them for an entirely different purpose. It may have some choice flfty cent cigars that need testing and also some special brands of legislation mat it wouia use to nave passed in response to what seems to be a great publlc sentiment, about a trust. You never can tell That Kind of a Visit. Before the stately president The red men slowly filed. None was annoyed, For all enjoyed The call of the wild.
