The Richmond Palladium

AND SUN-TELEGRAM.

Published Every Evening Except Sunday, by Palladium Printing Co. Masonic Building. Ninth and North A Streets. R. G. Leeds, Editor. E. H. Harris, Mgr.

In Richmond, 10 cents a week. By Mail, in advance

one year, 95.00; six months, $2.60; one month, 45 cents. Rural Routes, in advance one year, $2.00; six months, $1.25; one month 25 cents.

Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second Class Mall Matter.

Apropos Natural Gas Proposition The Union Natural Gas company of Pittsburgh, is willing to supply consumers of Richmond with natural gas at the following figures : 40 cents a thousand for the first 5,000 cubic feet. 35 cents a thousand for all over 5,000 and up to and including 95,000 cubic feet. SO cents a thousand for all over 95,000 cubic feet. In other words, domestic consumers will pay 40 cents a thousand cubic feet for gas so that ordinary businesses and small manufacturers may receive a rate of 35 cents a thousand cubic feet, as well as contribute to the. large businesses and manufacturers who can use in excess of 95,000 cubic feet. In addition ordinary businesses and small manufacturers, for the privilege of shifting a portion of their legitimate expense illegitimately on the domestic consumers, must contribute some the other way so that the large businesses and manufacturers can obtain the 30 cent rate. Who was it said: "For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance : but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath."? Richmond wants 40 cent gas. Domestic consumers here have eyes keen enough to appreciate the difference between $1.10 and 40 cents.

How long will it be, though, until those eyes can see there is no difference between railroad rebates, which have been abolished by law, and all commodity rebates or discounts? How long will it be before the universal brain behind those eyes realizes that rebating in any form is the very root of all inequality of opportunity, the essence of industrial and economic injustice?

$5 Gold Pieces for a Nickle Human nature rejects five-dollar gold pieces offered for sale at a nickle. At least that was the experience of the man who, on a bet, offered them for sale on a prominent thoroughfare for a whole day without securing one purchaser. ' The same principle actuates the farmer who is skeptical of following the advice of the agricultural expert, the business man and manufacturer who have nothing to learn from the efficiency engineer, or the laborer who fixes his mind immovably on the idea that the co-operative commonwealth will usher in Utopian existence: j The reason the man kept-his supply of gold pieces intact and avoided bankruptcy was that none of his passersby had gumption enough to

take ten cents worth of time plus a trickle's worth of acid and test the gold pieces. The Progressive party, the party of evolution, offers this country more practical solutions of harassing economic and political problems than ell other parties combined. It is new in organization yet old in ideals, for its principles have come down through the centuries since man in the mass and in the individual first yearned for universal justice and equality of opportunity, and began the tedious study of the whys and wherefores of the god of things that are, and ways and means of accomplishing his dethronement. The Progressive principles should draw more and more people to the party at each election. Such is human nature, however, that the strength of this drawing power depends greatly on the actions of the members of the party at their primaries. If General Apathy and Mistress Timidity are giving a garden party on primary day and the party members stray there instead of going to the polls and doing their duty by helping select the party's nominees, they must not be surprised if their party's election day growth is slow. They set a bad example and no party can be better than its rank and file. Therefore Progressives, true ones from the heart out, will bear in mind their duty next Monday and express their wishes at the polls for the men who will compose their party's ticket in the coming municipal campaign. Turn out and help your organization prepare the five-dollar gold pieces, politically speaking, for next fall's election and by the example of the interest you display primary day, help attract more buyers of the party's wares election day. Elementally Speaking Thomas A. Edison, the world's greatest living inventor, once delved into the hereafter and

returned to report there wasn't any such place. According to Edison the individual's consciousness is but the sum of the consciousness of all the cells of the body. When the cells cease to live on the death of the body, or may be it should be vice versa, the consciousness dies and we pass into oblivion. And yet The cells, after all, are divisible into their con

stituent elements carbon, hydrogen.

calcium, etc And the elements, as we are taught in chemistry, are absolutely indestructible. Using Edison's logic, therefore, only carrying it one step farther baek, we arrive at this conclusion, namely, if the consciousness of the individual is the sum of all the bodily cells' consciousness, then the consciousness of each individual cell is the sum of its elements consciousness, and inasmuch as an element is' indestructible, so likewise is its consciousness. In other words, we may live everlastingly through the elements of which our bodies are composed. Despite the fact that this elaboration and transposition of the Edison theory may lead some to accept the Hindu doctrine of the transmigration of souls, since the elements have a well known rule of entering into an infinity of new combinations, most of us should gather so much comfort from this scientific elucidation of this end that is a beginning, and to attain which we spend our whole lives in eating and drinking and being clothed and sheltered as well as working, that we will be able to continue that well known argument about how many angels can stand on the point of a needle. "We should worry" and dwell on the complexities of our elementalities !

YESTERDAY IN THE j SENATE AND HOUSE!

Jack Johnson, Traitor Jack Johnson, found guilty and sentenced to a year's imprisonment on a white slavery charge, is a traitor to his race. His victory over the big, but passe Jim Jeffries at Reno two years ago made him a prominent figure among the millions of his colored brethren. Instead of using the power of his position to further by example the moral and intelligent growth of his race, Johnson chose to insult not only the self respecting members of his race, but all the races of the human family by a career of unexcelled depravity and moral degeneracy. He stultified his manhood in degrading sensuality and vicious immorality. Unlike Booker T. Washington, whose prominence has come as the result of a life devoted to uplifting the plane of morality and intelligence of his race, Johnson has gained a final prominence as a moral leper, as one to be shunned by all the races and to be put behind the bars as an example and to rid society of his unwholesome presence and his aptitude for wrong doing.

AWAKENING

Thou earnest to me -with the sunshine of morn Aglow in thy face, Thou worest the radiant saffron of dawn With adorable grace. And I stepped into life, shook the sleep from my eyes, Beheld thou wert there; Yea, I who had scoffed, stood athrob with surprise, And knew thou wert fair. , And then without words, every dream of my Heart Tumbled into a vow; And lo, as thy lips trembled sweetly apart, My own touched thy brow. But now thou art gone, like a rainbow of mist, Like a rose-blush of bloom;

And with spirit refined at the shrine of our tryst, I am left in the gloom. Frank Prentice Rand.

The Effects of Opiates. THAT INFANTS are peculiarly susceptible to opium and its various preparations, all of which are narcotic, is well known. Eti in the smallest doses, if continued, these opiates cause changes in the functions and growth of the cells which are likely to become permanent, caumkg irubeciiity, mental perversion, a craving for alcohol or narcotics in later life. Nervous diseases, euch as intractable nervous dyspepsia and lack of staying powers are a result of dosing with opiates or narcotics to keep children quiet in their infancy. The rule among physicians is that children should nvr receive opiates in the smallest doses for more than a day at a time, and only then if unavoidable. The administration of Anodynes, Drops. Cordials, Soothing Syrups and other narcotics to children by any but a physician cannot be too strongly decried, and the druggist should not be party to it. Children who are ill need the attention of a physician, and it is nothing leas than a crime to dose them willfully with narcotics.
