THE

Conservation Made Plain Even In his address on conservation, at Denver on Monday, Theodore Roosevelt was guilty of an offense which frequently arouses his more Intemperate critics. He uttered platitudes. He defined conservation In terms understandable by the most simple mind, and delivered himself of a series of commonplaces upon the theory and practice of this great national policy. He enunciated no novel doctrine and offered no new suggestions. ... . ' . Yet his straight, homely talk wa of the utmost value In emphasizing truths that are self-evident to citizens of sincerity and Intelligence, and In exposing the elaborate structure of false pretense by which the yery critics of his "platitudes- have sought to obscure the basic purposes and real effects of conservation. a For the great plea of Balllngerlam and the interests behind it Is that conservation means obstruction of progress, prevention of development, fanatical opposition to capital, the ocking up of the country's natural resources and the prohibition of their rational use. Thus Glfford PInchot and La Follette and other opponents of the guggenhelmlng of the nation's wealth are sneered at as "young Lochinvars" and their proposals denounced as "sweeping and indiscriminate meatuses;" whereas, none of them has projected any policy save that familiar one thus described by Roosevelt on Monday: Conservation does not mean non-use or non-development. It does ""not mean the tying up of the natural resources of the states. It " means the utilization of these resources, under such regulation and control as will prevent waste, extravagance and monopoly, but at the same time not merely permit but encourage such use and development as will serve the Interests of the people generally. ' That conservation means the rigid exclusion of capital from the resources now owned by the country, and the prevention of their enjoyment by the present generation, is a fiction which the beneficiaries of Ballingerism have industriously tried to promulgate. Conservation means not stagnation, but development. Its prohibitory features are directed against that kind of exploitation which not only would wrong coming generations, but would place the citizens of today still more at the mercy of aggressive monopolists. ' It proposes to fosten development, not to discourage It; but insists that tho government shall regulate the manner and extend of that development and, above all, shall not surrender absolutely and for all time the people's title In the treasures which nature has placed in their lands.

Items Gathered In From Far and Near Dishonest Food Products. From the Chicago News. Chicago's commendable desire to be recognized everywhere as the great central market of this continent does not lead It to prize the bad distinction it has won as headquarters for various articles of food condemned by law. Therefore it welcomes the activities of the federal authorities In preparing to prosecute Chicago firms caught shipping Into other states unhealthful. adulterated or mlsbranded products. Some suits recently begun against Chicago firms for violations of the na tional food and drugs act are founded upon seizures in eastern cities of nasty compounds shipped from this city. No community can afford to harbor dealers In unclean foodstuffs or in mlsbranded articles which sre intended to deceive purchasers. Honest goods assuredly sre the only kind fit to be sent from a city which aspires to lead all its competitors in the great field of . merchandising. Peace Work for WarshlpsT From the Milwaukee Journal. Several months ago Mr. Bryan of fered the suggestion that if the government Is to hire ship owners to sail ships so that It may have ships to use In event of war, it might find it more profitable to build and operate the ships Itself. The Ides Is not new. We bsve used it as an argument against a ship subsidy, though we would not seriously urge the government to embark upon the enterprise. Yet the Idea of the 1 government using Its transports and colliers In time of peace to carry merchandise is not wholly without merit. It might not be a bad Idea if the entire navy could be put to some useful service snd carry the flag and exports of coal oil and other commodities to remote places. Trust Decision Needed. From the New York Herald. It Is of the utmost Importance to the business Interests of the country that the two great cases now before the Supreme Court of the United States di

NOTES FROM THE LABOR WORLD

Telephone girls throughout the United States are to be organized by the Commercial Telegraphers' Union of America. The members of trades unions employed in the work on the Panama Canal are preparing to demand a 20 per cent increase in wages. The annual convention of the Federation of Labor of Maryland and the District of Columbia will meet for its annual session In Washington, D. C. Sept. 19th. It is generally conceded that the late King Edward was a firm believer In trade unions and had always shown himself friendly disposed toward them and their alms. Thirteen hundred engineers on the Lake Shore railroad between Chicago and Buffalo have been granted a wage increase recently, aggregating about $150,000 annually. The union machinists and shopmen employed by the Minneapolis &. St. Louis railroad have recently obtained a considerable wage increase and other concessions from the company. During the next ten months the local unions of the Bricklayers' and Masons' International Union will consider a plan for the erection of a national home for disabled members of their organization. The Farmers' Union is making considerable progress in Colorado. Its members demand the union label on many things and the St. Louis and Chicago jobbing houses have been compelled to furnish union goods to the farmers. Two largo labor bodies have recently decided to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor, the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen and the Western Federation of Miners. Of the 205 locals of the latter body, only 5 voted against affiliation. The Western Federation of Miners is preparing to secure control of the miners in the Lake Superior copper region and has raised a fund of $25,000 which Is to be employed for the purpose of a more thorough organization in that region. y The Executive Committee of the Ohio Federation of Labor, In session at Columbus, O, recently adopted resolutions calling upon the Governor to convene a special session of the legislature to enact a law permitting municipalities to own street car lines. Twenty trade disputes were reported in Canada during the month of July, one more than in the previous month snd four more than in July, 1909. About 212 firms and 10,272 employes were involved, new disputes affecting 127 firms and 7.302 employes. The Grand Trunk strike was the principal one. A campaign against the display of motion pictures of strikes and strike-breaking scenes was opened st s recent meeting of the Washington, D. CV Central Labor Union. Resolutions were adopted protesting against the exhibition of such pictures which are said to be detrimental to the Interests of the unions, '

rectly affecting the Standard Oil and American Tobacco companies should be decided at the earliest possible moment. The decision of the highest tribunal in these cases may be such as to necessitate a reorganization of the greatest trading and industrial interests in the land, or may open a way for those to conduct their affairs without dislocation. While this vital matter is an abeyance there must continue a certain feeling of uncertainty that operates as a check upon business prosperity. BIDS III FOR BONDS (Palladium Special) ' Eaton, O., Sept. 2. Bids for the purchase of two bond Issues, one in the sum of $2,500 and the other $11,918.62, will be received on Monday, October 3, by City Treasurer C. F. Ressler.

PASTOR GETS CALL (Palladium Special) Eaton, O., Sept. 2. Rev. Earle M. Ellsworth, one of the most popular and successful pastors the local M. E. church has ever had, has been unanimously called to return to this charge for another year. He is In attendance at the annual conference in Cincinnati this week. Rev. Ellsworth has signified his willingness to serve another year, and it is probable that he will be returned.

Editor Palladium:. As a frequent visitor to your city I hare alwaya enjoyed your Glen Miller park. I do not believe your own people take as much interest In it as they should. It Is a valuable asset and many cities I make would be proud of it and would protect it jealously. In this day and age when the slogan is "Special privilege to none" your city will make a big mistake by granting the right to erect a pavilion for Chautauqua purposes. It should be for all the people, of all beliefs, or no belief, and admission should never be charged for any part of it. VISITOR, CLEAN BREAD. A question has been raised about the wrapping of bakers' bread In pa per so it shall be kept clean. While this is a matter to be desired there la another practice which has more In it than the wrapper on each loaf. We endure some kinds of filth better than others. I refer to the Union Label. I am not opposing the union, but I am opposing the sticking of the label on bread. I should prefer the postage stamp. The government stamps are clean except when made dirty by purchasers. The label stamps are not clean and no special effort is made to keep them so. Besides, If I must get tuberculosis, I prefer to contract in some other way than eating some victim's spittle. I hear it replied that the stamps are put on when the bread is warm and the dampening is not required. Usually truet but often false. When stamps are too dry to stick or the bread too cold to make them adhere they are often licked to make them stick and the mucus is absorbed by the bread. The use of a label is entirely unnecessary and disgustingly nasty. Its use should be prohibited. It is replied, as if a palliation, that this Is not the only dirty practice, of bakers. Probably not, but let us not eat tuberculous food when we know It. Let us avoid chewing after bad teeth, bad breath, bacteria and tubercules. Let us not take and use the spittle of the baker second hand. PURE FOOD CRANK. TWINKLES Forbearance. The hunter spares the tiny bird, But not because his song is sweet. His real reason, we have heard, Is that it isn't fit to eat A Habit of Solicitude. "Your wife seemed very much ex cited about your airship trip." "Yes," replied the aviator. "She always worried about my health." "Was she afraid you'd get a fall?" "No. She said she waa sure I'd take my death of cold sitting up there in all those drafts." A Long Journey. "How large is the apartment house you live in?" "Well, I don't remember the exact dimensions," replied Mr. Flatson, "but It's so big that when we asked the janitor for heat on Sunday morning steam didn't get to the radiator till the next Thursday." Present and Past Among the shadows strange come Our smiles to overcast, that The one which brings a mood most glum Is thinking on our past. For"instance, if you say "I bring," You later say "I brought." But if perchance you try to sing You cannot say "I sought." No matter where a man may go. You tell us that "he went." But if the gardener should hoe You never say "he hent." . If on an airship you should fly You write us that "you flew." But if some time again you try. Don't tell us that "you trew."" And If a huntsman goes to shoot You say next day "he shot." But If a bugle he should toot. You'd never say "he tot." , And so perplexities I find Where pleasure should be found, Because my verbs I cannot mind Just as they should be mound. LIST OF TEACHERS (Palladium Special) Eaton. O..

Over 2,000 Victims This Year

(Palladium Special) New York, Sept. 2. Two thousand nine hundred and twenty-three persons were injured in ' the Fourt of July celebrations this year, of which 131 died. Sixty-seven of these deaths were due to tetanus (lockjaw) following the Injury while 64 deaths were the direct result of the Injuries. Of the latter, 19 were killed outright by fire arms, 11 by explosions of powder, bombs or torpedoes, 6 by cannon and other causes while 26 persons, mostly little girls were burned to death by fire from fireworks. These are the results shown by the report of Fourth of July injuries published for the eighth consecutive year by The Journal of the American Medical Association. They show the appalling cost of the present methods of celebrating our great national holiday. Startling as this is, it is the best record for the country since 1903, when The Journal first began to collect and publish a record of Fourth of July Injuries. In that year 4,449 persons were injured, of which 466 lost their lives, 406 dying a tetanus. The grand total for the eight years shows that, since 1903, 37,526 persons have been injured as a result of Fourth of July celebrations, of which 1,662 died, 694 as the direct result of injuries and 968 from tetanus following Injuries. One hunderd and twenty-two persons have lost their sight, 551 have lost the use of one eye, 432 have lost arms, legs and hands and 1,541 have been crippled by the loss of fingers. This is the cost in human lives and suffering 3 on The

Blank cartridges were responsible for 386 of these accidents and fire crackers for 1,050; cannon for 212, firearms for 229 and powder and fireworks for 976.

Jylanfc cartridges were responsible -this year tor eight times as many cases as all other causes put together, while the death rats from tetanus was 91 per cent, forty-three of the 191 deaths and 1,455 of the 2.923 injuries, occurred In cities of over 50,000. The decrease from 466 deaths in 1903 to 131 In 1910 Is due to more Intelligent methods of celebration, the most marked decrease taking place in states where the agitation for restrictive measures was strongest. Massachusetts had this year only oneseventh of the injuries It had last year; Missouri. New Jersey and New York reduced their Injuries to one third; Illinois and Ohio to one-half; Pennsylvania reduced its injrtes to two-thirds of last year's. Indiana. Iowa and Wisconsin show larger to Uls than last year. Pennsylvania Is in the lead with 623 injuries followed by New York with 327 and Illinois with 285. Last year the same three states had 9S6.897 and 546 injuries re spectlvely. ; For the v large . cities Pittsburg and New York City each reported 6 deaths, Chicago and Philadelphia 4 deaths. Cincinnati and Milwaukee, 3 and Wllkesbarre. Pa., 2. For the first time in four years St. Louis and Boston report . no deaths and greatly reduced casualties. Of the non-fatal ; injuries Philadelphia leads with 405, followed by New York with 179, Milwaukee with 112, Chlcago with 62, Cincinnati with 49, St. Louis and Jersey City each 44 and Boston 35. A marked Increase occurred in Milwaukee. - Jersey City,

Grand Rapids, Mich., Des Moines, la., and Waterbury, Conn. Restrictive measures were adopted by a number of cities, with marked good results. Trenton, N. J., adopted a prohibitive ordinance and ' reports no :? injuriea. Cleveland, Ohio, which adopted a prohibitory ordinance two years ago. reports only one Injury. Washington has had for two years a prohibitive ordinance and a clean record. Baltimore adopted a prohibitive ordinance and reports only six Injuries and no deaths. ; . ;.! Tbe responsibility for the great ma-' Jority of Fourth of July Injuries rests with the city governments. It is, therefore for the local authorities to decide whether acidents, agonizing deaths from lockjaw and burning to death of little children by fireworks shall continue or not Local ardlnances preventing the use of fireworks are practically Impossible of enforcement the only effective means being the prohibition of the sale of all dangerous fireworks. In a number of Cities successful efforts have been made to substitute a better method of public celebration for the use of the death dealing blank cartridge and cannon firecracker. Public celebrations, pageants,' parades, picnics and trips to the parks were some of the means employed. The result is evident in the smallest number of cases of lockjaw an deaths - from : other causes yet reported; ' fewer blinded ' eyes, maimed bodies and mutilated hands.
