What Do You Think of This? , In yesterday's Palladium appeared a quotation from a recent speech. Was it by Theodore Roosevelt whose New Nationalism made all the conservative timidity explode at the match touched to it by the Roosevelt hating special greed of a few? We did not at that time give the name of the man who made the speech. Here is some more of it. Monopoly, complete and unrestrained, under private ownership or management, would alike be Intolerable under present conditions of life. Some other method must be found, and it would seem to lie through the medium of co-operation, with federal supervision. By cooperation I mean a system of doing business by which all parties Interested will enjoy the benelts of the business. The mlllenium has not yet arrived, but no thoughtful man will deny that there has been a great awakening of the business conscience in recent years. The old motto, "Honesty is the best policy," in place of being more or less a beautiful sentiment, is coming to be more of a practical reality. The day has come when to be honest means not technically, legally honest, but broadly, humanely honest honest in thought, in purpose, in act.
No it was not by Gilford Pinchot who made the stealing of Alaska through the Cunningham claims an impossibility for the Morgan Interests. It was not even James R. Garfield or far seeing Robert La. Follette. It was George Perkins, formerly of Morgan and Company. He made the speech on March 8 at Atlanta, Georgia. It is radical yes. That is what we called attention to at the time the Irst quotation was made.
There are several things that might be said about it beside that. One is that efficiency and action and foresight are of their very nature things that are not conservative they must be radical in that they anticipate a change. Think, when you read this of the business of which you know best and see what a similarity or difference there is between what you know is a coming fact whether you like it or not and tho words of George Perkins.
We hold no brief for the man from whom we quote. It is simply an example of what one very intelligent American citizen believes. It was simply the intention to show what radicalisms there are which are conservatively received. We seo no public denunciations of the man such as Theodore Roosevelt received for his Osawatomie speech, and yet there is the same provocation. Radicalism is often confounded with progressive action-and we have already paid our respects to foresight and efficiency.
CROW SHOWS TRIBE CORN PULLING ART Wlnsted, Conn., March 11. A Northvtlle woman who was driving to Milford says she saw a flock of crows formed In a circle about twenty-five feet in diameter, all facing the center, where one crow stood alone. This crow would bend over and touch his bill to the ground, and those in the circle would imitate him. Then he flapped his wings and cawed, and his audience gravely did the same. Once he nearly stood on his bill, and all the crows in the circle promptly tried to stand on theirs. For twenty minutes the ceremony continued, every movement of the leader being repeated by the other crows. Farmers think the Instructor came to Northvllle to give local crows lessons in how to bet the newly sown corn out of the ground before planting time arrives. Accordingly the farmers are arranging to place scarecrows equipped with electric bells about their fields after planting is over this spring. "THIS DATE

SMUGGLER'S CONFESSION IS READ
New York, March 11. The alleged confession of William Rind, first officer of the American steamer St. Paul, who Is accused of having smuggled diamonds into America, is offered in evidence at the opening of his trial in the United States circuit court. George J. Smyth, deputy surveyor of customs, testified that Rind had confessed that his smuggling operations had extended over a period of eight months, and that in addition to the jewels Rind also brought 213 twoounce obttles of cocaine into the country without paying duty. Rind said he lost $1,143 on two rings he gave to a man to sell, as the agent never ac counted for them. A clew to further smuggling operations was revealed when Smyth said that Rind told him opium was being smuggled past the customs officials by the officer of another steamship. When pressed for further details, Rind is said to have answered: "I am a ruined man; my job is gone; what is the use of my getting others into trouble.".IN HISTORY" LABOR WORLD union waitresses to work for a Japanese. The third union coal mine to be operated by the farmers union in Southern Colorado, has been opened near Erie, Colo. It is run on a cooperative plan, union men are employed, many of the miners being personally interested as stockholders. The analytical government report shows that the average southern cotton mill family has 6.6 members, with 3.S of them working in the mill. The 3.8 members earn each year an average of $S22 or an average yearly wage for each of $216.31, or $4.16 a week. Answering a call for assistance from the exponents of the women's eight-hour law, the San Francisco Church Federation has issued a letter to its members asking that something be said in the churches in support of the bill to protect women in the industrial field. Bills have been introduced into the legislatures of Oregon and Washington which provide that all goods manufactured by convicts in state prisons shall be so labeLed in order that people may distinguish between goods produced by free union labor from those which are the outfut of prison labor.

FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE
Articles Contributed for This Column Must Sot Be in Excess of 400 Words. The Identity of All Contributors Must lie Known to the Editor. Articles Will Be Printed in the Order Received. Editor of Palladium: The mayor la right. The council should by unanimous vole increase the city saloon licensa to the limit, $500. Why? FlrBt. Under tho present "Regulation Liquor Law" there can be no increase of saloons In Richmond, and all those now holding license can, so long as they do not violate the law, renew them indefinitely, sell them to other parties, and at their death they will become a valuable Inancial asset. Hence they have a complete monopoly of the business. Second, In a number of ot her places the saloon license fee is $1,000, and in some as high as $1,500, and yet the supply of saloons is always equal to the demand. Probably in no other business Is the profit so large in pro portion to the small capital invested. A man recently purchased a saloon in this city, and he claims to have paid twice as much for the "good will" as he paid for the fixtures and stocks on hand. Whoever heard of such a trans action in the purchase of any other business? Third, Eminent judges in this country and in England have asserted that from 75 to 90 per cent of all crimes arise from the use of intoxicating liquors. Charity organizations report that more than 50 per cent of poverty and pauperism are due to the same cause, and we know many cases of insanity result from intemperance. Many thousands of dollars are annually paid in this country for the conviction of criminals and their board in jail other thousands for the poor in our township, and it is right that the saloons, the chief cause of this outlay, should bear at least a part of this expense. Many other reasons can be given, but the above ought to be sufficient to justify the council in passing an ordinance making' the city license $500. Respectfully. Justice.

EXONERATES BOSS Two of Investigating Committee Whitewash Him.
Cincinnati, March 11. George B. Cox, indicted Republican leader of this city, was held not to be in contempt of court by two members of the committee of three attorneys' appointed by Judge Gorman, of the common pleas court, to investigate a statement purporting to have been made by him in a morning newspaper reflecting on the grand jury which indicted him. The other member of the committee filed a minority report in which it was held that Cox was in contempt. One of the sentences in the majority report finding no contempt reads: "Punishment for contempt of court on account of libel or criticism of a judge has become obsolete." The majority report was signed by Edward Barton, general counsel for the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern railroad, and Clyde Johnson. Aaron A. Ferris reported that there was contempt. The three attorneys were named by Judge Gorman to investigate possible contempt of court in a published interview credited to George B. Cox after his indictment on charges of perjury. Chairman Ferris recited the result of the work so far done by the investigating attorneys. He declared that they had gone into the circumstances of the publication of Mr. Cox's statement in a Cincinnati morning newspaper at length, and in this work had examined both attorneys for the newspaper and ' attorney Thomas Darby representing Mr. Cox. Mr. Cox wrote a personal letter to the committee, in which he said that he had been informed that the grand jury had been irregularly drawn, and that that was all he intended to say in the published interviow. "I disclaim any intention or desire on my part to," he wrote, "to speak disrespectfully of either the grand jury or of its members or of the judge who impaneled it. Chairs In the Dark Age.

The Saxon kings of England are represented as seated on thrones in the form of a box, the ends slightly raised, the bottom advanced te form a sort of footstool.
