Our Sympathies

Ask any man In this city where his sympathies are in the war between Italy and Turkey, and he will laughingly reply he wouldn't care much if "both countries got licked." The war means nothing to him its too far away. Probably he does not know what the cause of trouble is. However, the average American probably favors Italy, principally because Italy is a Christian nation. But does Italy deserve the sympathy of Americans? Read what the Chicago Evening Post says: What do we all think of the war? The man on the street doesn't know much about it. Italy and Turkey are too far outside the Loop. But what sympathy he has rather swings toward Italy. Not thaflt's positive at all. Or warm-hearted. Far from it. Cynically, he'll say that Italy might as well grab when the rest of them are grabbing. That's as far as he'll go. Negatively, however, he has a phrase as his clincher. And everyone knows how conclusive a catchword is, in all American arguments. "It's against the terrible Turk, anyway," he says, "so what's the difference?" Often he'll add: "I wish they both could be licked." It is characteristic that he calls him "the terrible" instead of the unspeakable." The wrestling rather than the Gladstonian adjective reveals the local viewpoint. For the decision thus rapped out is most grievously local. It takes no account at all of the splendid "young Turk" movement which amazed the world in 1908. A swift, sweeping and pacific revolution drove from the throne the despot who typified the old "unspeakableism." It put into power a new generation resolved to make Turkey a mentionable subject in decent society. The man on the street, here, admired that revolution. He laughed in bis comportable, superior way, of course, at the idea of any Turk trying to "put over" a really fair and democratic government like his own. But he was willing enough to have them try it. Then he forgot all about it. But in the meantime those "Young Turks" have been working hard at the job they marked out for themselves. They have made, as their informal critic over here might say, "an awful hash of it" in some ways. They have disgraced themselves by the murderous sacking of Albania. And they have not got rid of laziness, incompetence and graft in the Turkish government. But neither have we, in our own government. And if the new Turkey is to be condemned, utterly and forever, for the Albanian outrages, why not condemn England, utterly and forever, for forcing the opium curse onto the countless millions of China? No, judgments of nations cannot be formed on a single national act, however important. The Turkish people deserve from the street judge a better deal. For they have started out to put the "square deal" into their own religious, social, business and governmental affairs. They may not get it there for the next thousand years. They may never get it. But while they're after it, they ought not to be run out of the court of public opinion without being given half a chance. The man on the street can remember, too, that it is the very fact that the Turk is engaged in this laborious house-cleaning at home that gives the little knot of Italian militarists courage to grab some of his land overseas. In a truly civilized Europe, Italy would now be helping Turkey along her hard road, instead of hitting her under the ear with a sand bag. We shall watch the American effects of this war with unusual interest. If the Turks give Italy more than she bargains for, if their splendid soldiers make up for their ineffective sailors and land one good telling blow upon their aggressors, the man on the street may switch his sympathies. If he does, we shall not be at all displeased. For all that civilization can hope to gain from this conflict will be a heightened disgust for the instigator of war.

REAL ESTATE SHOW IS ON IN GOTHAM (National News Association) NEW YORK, Oct. 7. Including as it does the varied list of exhibits which made up the two previous shows of the kind given here, together with a new section devoted to apartment houses and building materials, the third Real Estate and Ideal Homes show, which opened in Madison Square Garden this afternoon, is the largest and most comprehensive ex position of its kind ever held in Ameri ca. The display emDraces every type of building from the bungalow to the skyscraping apartment house, illustrated in models, photographs and drawings, as well as samples of every building material which enters into their construction. Equipment, decorations and furnishings are shown also. Evening Schools. Evening schools owe their existence to the Rer. Thomas Charles, who about 1811 set up one at Bala. Wales, which proved to be quite successful. In 1S39 or 3840 the English Bishop Hinds strongly recommended such schools for poor adults, wbo, on account of enforced labor, bad no chance to secure an education. The idea was taken In hand by the British privy council in 1861. and from that date evening schools began to be considered seriously. At the present time they are numerous throughout Great Britain. America and many other leading nations. New York American. Koap tha Fire Burning.

Burns of Superior, and Rev. J. S. Reeve of Appleton. A TRUE STORY. It Was Vouched For by the Gentleman Who Related It. Some years ago in a certain town in the north a gentleman possessed of more money than education was asked to address the scholars attending one of the local schools some Sunday afternoon. "Well, childwen," said he, "I's not used to public speyking, but I remember when I was a lad 1 was very fond of hearing a story. Shall I tell ye a story? "Ouce upon a time many years ago there was a lad, a very gocd lad, wbo went regularly to Sunday school and nivver missed. But one Sunday afternoon as he was gawiu' to school two bad boys met him and tersuaded bim to gau bird nesting wiv 'em. So they went alang by the riverside, and by and by they came to a tree, and in the tree on a branch which overhung the watter was a nest. The two bad lads sent the good lad to climb the tree and fetch the eggs. Up he went and got on the branch, farther and farther, and just as he was reaching out his hand to tak' the nest the branch brok. and he fell into the river and was drooned." After waiting a few moments' to allow his hearers to thoroughly grasp the full extent of the catastrophe be resumed with: "Children, the story Is true, for the lad that was drooned was me."

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright, 1908, by Edwin ANye. STILV.'ELL'S DREAM. There is a man in Kansas City whose name is Stilwell. He dreamed a dream. His dream was an air line of steel from the gra infields of the middle west direct to the gulf. People smiled. The moneycrats of Wall street laughed. But When American financiers turned their backs on Stilwell's vision of shin ing rails from Kansas City to the sea the dreamer Went to Holland and told his dream to the Dutch capitalists. They furnished the money, and the Kansas City and Southern railroad was built. Stilwell's dream came true. To be sure, the author and builder of the road in the outcome was cheated out of his hard earned share, but the road is there doing business as the direct realization of Stilwell's dream. Stilwell dreamed another dream. And again the financiers pronounced his dream a baseless fabric, impractical and absurd. They would not put a dollar in the enterprise. But Stilwell went about to make hi other dream come true. This was the dream: He would build a railroad from Kansas City through Mexico to the gulf. It was the old dream from a new viewpoint Stilwell's vision was again the benign one of connecting the great granaries of the west with tidewater, thereby saving the farmers the long haul transportation. He dared to cut the parallels of latitude. He was like that czar of Russia who laid down his ruler between two great cities and, despite the remonstrances of engineers, said, "Build it on that line." Somehow Stilwell is getting the money, and the Kansas City and Orient railroad is largely built. Oftentimes your dreamer Is the utilitarian. His vision makes things come to pass. There must first be the dream. Columbus dreamed of the other side of the world and found it Napoleon dreamed of an empire and won it. With their natural eyes men see only little things: they dream of big things. It is the dreamer who hangs the impossible bridge over the spanless chasm, lays a path for thought on ocean's bottom, discovers the new land, sends the message through the viewless air. "Where there is no vision the people perish." Therefore the seer. LECTURESJH BIBLE Prof. Russell Opens the Bible Class Work. Almost a hundred people made the trip through the rain and wind last night to the Y. M. C. A. to attend the opening meeting of the new Bible study class, conducted by Prof. Elbert Russell of Earlham College. Although the professor had to "talk against the elements" durin? most of the evening, he gave an extremely instructive lecture, and all were very enthusiastic over the outlook for the coming twenty-Jive weeks of study. Every denomination in the city was represented last night. The topic for consideration was the book of Ezekiel. Prof. Russell opened his talk by giving an historical statement concerning the book, and telling the setting of the action. He also spoke of the purpose for writing the book, and of Ezekiel's mission in the world. In conclusion, the professor applied the situation to the present time. Some interesting discussions were heard before the adjournment. Miss Anna Willis Williams, the original "Miss Liberty," whose profile adorns the silver dollar, has been for the past twelve years at the head of the kindergarten system of Philadelphia, her native city.

Richmond, Ind., Oct 5, 1911. Editor Palladium:

Some time ago the Palladium tookidled. Both these are monopolies or up the question of the high cost of j very nearly so and yet nobody com-

So as these are managed might class which suffers most from the! the other Industries and mihlie utiH.

high cost of living. To a student of economics and sociology the reason for the high cost of living is obvious. Of course not all well posted persons will admit the cause, much less advocate the "cause" as the cure which I have in mind might possibly rob them of a soft snap. Also many would make an effort to alleviate these evils if they knew how. Many also would advocate radical changes in our economic system but they fear they would be called cranks or socialists or some other "horrible" name. Last but not fewest in number are the demagogues and quacks who are eternally springing up with fake "cures" and coming out with schemes that are too ridiculous to have the consideration of a really sane-winded public. Anyone who will stop to consider will see that it is not the fault of any one individual or of any one class that the cost of living is so high. It is the fault of the economic system under which we live. I refer to the competitive system. At one time competition was considered the "life of trade." It is certain now that it is the "mother of monopoly." Competition and privately owned monopolies are therefore the primary cause of the high cost of living. (I refer not only to food-stuffs but everything essential to man's needs.) Competition by the wasteful methods necessarily employed and the monopolies by their exorbitant profits, on watered stocks, etc., and the low wages paid which decreases the buying capacity of the workingman. We cannot remedy these conditions locally as the consumer is often many miles from the producer. We can only remedy them by an entire change in the entire economic system, nation wide or better still world wide. Human nature is naturally progressive and therefore we should not and absolutely cannot look into the past for a cure to present oonditions however much some may pine for "The good old days." Never in the history of the world were men so well versed in economics and business methods in general as today and every one knows that all indications point toward centralization and co-operation, rather than competitive methods. However, this centralization and cooperation does not benefit those who need it most but at that it shows itself to be an economical success. Applied to business and manufacturing, cooperation and centralization are at this time indespensible for who would return to the old fashioned country store or to the old fashioned methods of say making plows or wagons, one or two men making an entire plow or wagon. Why not then cooperate in the manufacture, distribution and exchange of all articles of food, clothing, etc. We see that in any one of these the rich middlemen cooperate with each other and with the large manufactories and large retailers to flimflam the consumer and the actual producer. Why cannot the producer be the consumer or if he produces more of one commodity than he can consume exchange with his neighbor who produces something else and this exchange without profit to any third party. Some will say they produce nothing. If they do not they should receive nothing, unless they perform part of the duties of distribution or exchange. But such is not the case for as everyone will admit, those who prdouce everything have scarcely anything, while those who produce nothing have everything heart could wish. There ar too many useless middle-men's mouths to feed and backs to clothe between the producer of any commodity and the consumer. The farmer gets a low price for his produce, the city consumer pays a high price for the same commodities. Between the two in the middlemen lies the high cost of living. What the city man produces in shops, for which he gets small wages, the farmer who buys pays a high price, the middlemen again. Perhaps the farmer gets a seemingly high price for say his hogs. Is not the price of pork chops correspondingly high whenever he goes to buy? Of course. He cannot much more than buy back one half of a hog in pork for what he got for the hog on foot whether the price be high or low. It is certain this difference between the price of hog and pork is not all paid to the men who kill and dress the meat. Therefore I say eliminate the middle-man, cut out competition, co-operate, the producer with the HAY FEVER A 10c bottle of Brazilian Balm has been known to cure Hay Fever, but to be sure and thorough, you better get the 50c or $1 bottle.

RICHEY. TRUEBLOOD SPOKE ABOUT POET RILEY The students of the high school yesterday afternoon paid tribute to James W. Riley, the Hoosier poet, when they assembled in the school chapel for an hour, and listened to a special program that had been prepared for the occasion. Prof. E. P. Trueblood, of Earlham College, was the principal speaker of the afternoon, and gave an interesting talk on the life and works of the poet. Prof. Trueblood opened his address with a sketch of Riley's life. He stated that one of the poet's great weaknesses is his aversion to appearing in public. Prof. Trueblood incidentally asked the students how many of them had seen the author, and was surprised to see only one hand raised in response. He then gave several selections from Riley's works, showing all the different moods of the poet Mrs. Isaac Xeff sang, "There, Little Girl, Don't Cry," a song for which Riley wrote the lyrics. The high school orchestra rendered two numbers, and was well applauded for its work. BRIGHTEN THE BATHROOM.
