In this age of specialization, fads, theorists, extremists and people run slag around In circles the saving grace of common sense Is needed as never before. It Is needed especially by public men. The American people as a whole pos sess not only a large fund of common sense, but also a very bealtby sense ol humor. The public man -who gets too far to one side In tbe pursuit of the "grotesque and arabesque" Is In danger ol exciting tbe risibilities of tbe populace. There has been more tban one man In our history blown Into oblivion on a gale of laughter. The moment the antics of any cult ot school start a guffaw across the continent It Is all off with that cult or school. The only safety from this real peril It) common sense. . It Is bard to argue with a nation or a community laughing at you. We are very tolerant of fads, but when they get too far from tbe line ol common sense we laugh them off tbe stage. ' Common sense Is the essence of human wisdom and experience in all lands and ages. ' It comes from real life, frpm actaai contact with things. It fits Bill Jones down on his little farm on Possum crick, also Mr. William Plnckney Etherldge, art collector and globe trotter, of Pel bam Manor that Is, if William Plnckney has not followed some fad that led him off at a mental tangent A robust supply of common sense is the first requisite for success in any and every calling. It is the only safe guide for genius or clodhopper. It is tbe fundamental requirement, without which there is nothing the starting point for the pursuit of all special knowledge. It is as necessary as a thorough grounding of "the three RV Is necessary as a basis of higher education. It is the foundation on which special knowledge and training constitute the superstructure. Seek ye first common sense; and all Jther things shall be added unto you. Coeur De Lion Lodge meets every Tuesday. Next Tuesday Rank of Knight. Visitors -welcome. The Old Man'a Hint.

The Pythian Calendar

The Teachers arid Good Citizesnhip. The Palladium believes the school board should be commended for its decision to stand pat on its refusal to take the initial step for creating a fund to pension teachers under the provisions of the teachers' pension act, passed by the last legislature, which appears to be unconstitutional and which is certainly most unfair to the taxpayers of Richmond. The Palladium is a staunch advocate of any plan for pensioning such public servants as teachers, policemen and firemen who have become incapacitated for service through accident, disease or the infirmities of old age, but it most positively is against any pensioning plan (and it believes it is reflecting popular opinion in this opposition) which retires public servants in the prime of life at the expense of the taxpayers. The Palladium believes that'a law which would permit Superintendent T. A. Mott to retire from service with the Richmond public schools on an annual pension of $430 and permit him to draw a salary of $1,500 as superintendent of the Seymour, Indiana, schools, is absolutely unjust to the people of Richmond, but this is precisely what he would be permitted to do if a school teachers' pension fund was created in Richmond. And we find Mr. Mott advocating the creation of such a fund. An inspection of the teachers' pension law for cities vith populations varying from 20,000 to 100,000 reveals the following provisions. Read them and judge for yourself if you think they are fair to the public which must pay an additional 2y2 cents tax 'levy to carry them out, and receive no direct returns on the same : Teachers who have served between twenty and thirty years may be retired at any time within the period specified and receive a pension if the pension fund commission decides they are entitled to receive such reward. As teachers in this class cannot withdraw the money they have paid into the pension fund, as teachers who have served less than twenty years can, and as the majority of the commission are teachers, it is reasonable to presume that applicants in this class who would be refused pensions would be few and far between. Practically all teachers who would retire after service varying from twenty to thirty years would still be in the prime of life and could accept positions elsewhere without sacrificing the pension they would draw out of the school funds of Richmond. - , Teachers who have served more than thirty years can retire at any time on a pension, even though they have been convicted of a felony.

Under the pension law provided for Indianapolis, teachers in good standing can retire on a pension after forty years service, which appears to be the proper limit, for the average teacher engages in school work at the age of 20 or 21. However, an Indianapolis teacher after fifteen years of service can be retired on a pro rated pension if he or she is incapacitated for duty by accident or disease, but such teachers must keep in touch with the school board and return to duty on recovery. The Indianapolis law is as fair to the public as the law for other cities in the state is unfair.

School teachers have often been described as the highest type of public servants, a class of men and women on whom the nation depends for a high type of citizenship a class of men and women who are incorruptible and who have consecrated themselves to laboring for the public good. The Palladium asks those Richmond teachers who have been frantically urging the creation of a pension fund under the terms of an unjust law if they have stopped to realize that their actions tend to lessen the high regard their craft is held in by the general public ?

Few Boys of the Present Generation Follow Footsteps of Their Fathers

"Well, son, what are you going to be when you grow up?" Such is the question asked every boy throughout the country, a local school teacher said today. The "small boy" is asked the question so many times that he is usually prepared to answer. The answer if the "small boy" is at all fond of his father is usually to the effect that he is going to be like "daddy." "Just how many of these prophesies come true is indeed an interesting circumstance to note," he said. "Without doubt environment has something to do with the probability of the forecasts being realized. And then, too, the business that "daddy" is in has something to do with it. "Statistics show that fewer of the present generation follow in the footsteps of their elders than did the sons in the olden days. In those days "trade

learning" was the custom. The father taught the son to be a tradesman, a blacksmith, a shoeamker, or whatever his own vocation might be. It seems that with the advanced education which the youth of today is in a position to take advantage of, his glimpse of the vocations which he might follow is so much wider that he is apt to take a greater fancy to one altogether different than that which his father choses. In the older days he knew little of those other vocations. He had little choice, in fact, being "brought up" in hfs father's business. "This state of affairs applies to all trades and professions and yet the fact remains that it is most vividly illustrated in the vocation of the policeman." afternoon in display window of Light, Domestic Science Market Saturday Heat and Power Co.

I RAILROAD NOTES t

Baggagemen and commercial travelers doubtless' will read with interest dispatches from Washington announcing the decision of the interstate commerce commission on the question of baggage as applied to size. Under the ruling made public now a piece of baggage in excess of torty-five inebes In any dimensions, excepting width as applied to "cases," may be charged for at excess rates by railroads, and if it measures more than seventy-two inches the carriers may refuse to accept it at all. Widths in caBea may run to ninety inches and twelve inches in diameter. After a year's notice a railroad may refuse trunks with more than two bulging sides not opposite each other. Railroads have long been seeking a change in baggage regulations. Some of tbe wholesale houses having traveling representatives have devised trunks of various sizes and shapes until it has been almost impossible to get some of them into bggage car doors. The railroads aeked for a forty-inch regulation but foiy-flve inches was agreed upon as a compromise. GOT DRUNK ON A BEEFSTEAK And Also on Ovaretrong Toa and Evan on Cold Water, According to a house surgeon in a London hospital. It Is not necessary to take strong drink at all in order to be drunk. Cases have been known Id which patients have got drunk on a beefsteak after having been for many weeks on a very light diet. The intoxication In these cases showed itself in a slight dizziness and drowsiness und Indistinctness of speech. Similar cases have been known in which tbe only intoxicant has been strong tea. In fact, there are instances in medical books of exceptional people in whom the constant use of overstrong, overdrawn tea has brought about distinct symptoms of delirium tremens. Perhaps the most curious sort of Intoxication on record is that in which the only intoxicant is cold water dripping from a water tap into the ear. In Germany a few years ago quite a number of morbid people bad a craving f6r this curious way of Inducing ; drunkenness, but it seems to have been j sti raped out J Tbe drip of the rater is said to t cause a painful boiling sensation at : first and then to cause a pleasant drowj siness, ending in deep sleep. When I the victim is roused he is dull and stu pid in manner, like a heavy drinker This craze makes its victim a nervous wreck in a very short time. Pearson's Weekly.

After preliminary" negotiations during tbe course of the Franco-Prussian war tbe parliament of tbe north German confederation (with which Baden. Hesse-Darmstadt.

Bowels Get Weak As Age Advances

THE FIR8T NECESSITY 16 TO KEEP THE BOWELS GENTLY OPEN WITH A MILD , LAXATIVE TONIC Healthy old age is so absolutely dependent upon the condition of tbe bowels that great care should be taken to see that they act regularly. The fact is that as age advances the stomach muscles become weak and inactive and the liver does not store up the juices that are necessary to prompt digestion. Some help can be obtained by eating easily digested foods and by plenty of exercise, but this latter is irksome to most elderly people. One thing is certain, that a state of constipation should always be avoided as it is dangerous to life and health. The best plan is to take a mild laxative as often as is deemed necessary. But with equal certainty it is suggested that cathartics, purgatives, physics, salts and pills be avoided, as they do but temporary good and are so harsh as to be a shock to a delicate system. A much better plan, and one that thousands of elderly people are following, is to take a gentle laxativetonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which acts as nearly like nature as is possible. In fact, the tendency of this remedy is to strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles and so train them to act naturally again, when medicines of all kinds can usually be dispensed with. This is the opinion of many people of different ages, among them Mr. O. P. Miller, Baroda, Mich., who writes: "I am 80 years old and have been constipated for many years. Since receiving your sample bottle I have procured two 50c bottles and find
