The National Flag This is flag day. It will be observed by many people by the displaying of the national colors. Otherwise no special significance is attached to the birthday of Old Glory. However, more importance should be attached to this day for the purpose of inspiring a deeper reverence for the national emblem. This could be accomplished by the holding of public meetings in every community with programs appropriate to the occasion. It is not to be inferred that the American people are lacking in patriotism, for they are jealously loyal to the republic, but foreigners have frequently commented on the lack of respect shown by Americans to their flag, and the peculiar indifference displayed when the national airs are played. This criticism does not apply so much now to the people living in the eastern states, but Americans in the middle west and far west are deserving of it. Last Memorial Day hundreds of people witnessed the parade of the Grand Army veterans, in Richmond, but it is safe to say that not ten men in the crowd doffed their hats when the colors went by. It is a common sight in New York city to witness a theater audience arise en masse when the orchestra renders "The Star Spangled Banner," but if any person in a public gathering in Richmond, for instance, should pay such tribute to the national song the comment would be made generally that he was "trying to show off." There is nothing shameful or brazen in such little displays of patriotism, however, and surely the banner of red, white and blue with its cluster of stars, for which so many Americans have sacrificed their lives, deserves what courtesies it lies in our power to tender it. This in America In Mexico in time of insurrection, the military authorities suspend the much abused constitution of the alleged republic and punish offenders by inflicting the death penalty, either by arranging the condemned neatly in front of a convenient wall, facing a firing squad, or they invoke the so-called "fugitive" law, which permits their unhappy victims to make a dash for "freedom," only to be shot in the back. Military rule in the coal fields of West Virginia, where an actual state of revolution has existed for the past two years, has not been featured by summary executions, but it has been marked by such brutality and wanton injustice that the American people must shamefully confess that their "holier than thou" attitude toward their neighbors across the Rio Grande has been an unwarranted pose. At the senatorial investigating committee's hearings at Charleston, the former prosecuting attorney of Kanawa county, now a congressman, testified that the civil courts were not closed during the period of labor disturbances, but were inoperative owing to the fact that it was impossible to have impartial trials by jury. However, he had no explanation to offer why rebellious miners, most of whom are native born Americans, were not tried in the civil courts outside the trouble zone instead of before drum head court martials. The senate investigating committee also has in its possession testimony showing the utter disregard of the military authorities to the constitutional rights of the offending citizens. It was ascertained that there was no appeal to a verdict of the military commission, if approved by the governor, except to the supreme court of the United States; that men were sent to the penitentiary for long terms on conviction of offenses which would be regarded as misdemeanors by civil courts ; that after the commission had heard testimony in a case it went into secret session, executed a sealed finding after the nature of a verdict, and forwarded it to the governor, and the unfortunate wretch was kept in ignorance of his fate until he was hauled away to the state prison. It was also interesting information to all American citizens who boast of their rights and privileges under the constitution of the United States, that those West Virginia miners in their light to free themselves of the yoke of the big business interests which had enslaved them, were denied the right of new trial. Also that they had no opportunity to secure bail, and that there was

no possibility for them to obtain stays of exe

cution.

Sensational as has been the testimony in the

hearings conducted in Charleston the past week

it will be nothing in comparison with the infor

mation obtained when the causes of the coal

field disturbances are probed into and placed un der the light of publicity.

A Big Week for Suffragettes

Yesterday was a big day in the Illinois legislature. In the afternoon the members' of the low

er house were treated to a fisticuff exhibition

which resulted in a clean knockout, and in the evening they joined with triumphant femininity at a banquet in celebration of the passage of the

equal suffrage bill. Incidentally this has been a red letter week for the woman's suffrage cause in the United States. Yesterday a committee report was presented to the United States senate indorsing the proposed amendment to the constitution providing equal suffrage. The previous day the first state east of the Mississippi river, Illinois, went on record in favor of votes for women. The attention of Mrs. Pankhurst and her amazons is called to the fact that the remarkable progress of the suffrage cause in the United States has been accomplished without recourse to militant tactics.

H. L. Haywood to Write Series on This Subject For Palladium Readers First Article Will Appear Monday.

THE DELIGHTS OF A BOY ON THE FARM

From the Farm Journal. What man brought up on the farm does not remember with keen pleasure the patter of the rain upon the shingles music that has inspired the poets to sweetest song! In every old farmhouse there was a big garret, the storehouse for ancient and outworn things like spinning wheels and reels, hackles that were used for cleaning flax, the old hair trunk in which was a Continental uniform and a variety of odds and ends. In the middle of the spacious room were usually one or two beds, where the boys slept in the summer, with only the shingle roof between them and the sky. What music resounded from those shingles when the early summer showers pattered upon them! In the good old times the third story was the garret, a plain, homely name, and one that appeals much more strongly to a man with pleasant memories of the farm than attic, or third story; and while the big room might have been a little spooky at night when the breezes that blew through the gable windows rustled and swayed grandma's ancient wedding dress or grandfather's small clothes that hung from the rafters,

one had a sense of freedom and security that was not felt

in the smaller rooms below. And what a perfect place to play and romp and rum

mage on a rainy day when it was unfit for the small boy to be out! What stores of walnuts and shellbarks we stored on the floor in the late autumn, and how often the flying

or red squirrels found it out and got in by hook or crook to deplete our stores! A small squirrel makes a tremendous

noise scampering over a garret floor in the middle of the night, and the head of the small boy promptly disappears under the covers. Or what joy to lie in the clean straw of

the mow and hear the rain drumming on the roof, and the

rattle of the halter chains below in the stalls as the restless horses exhibited their impatience of restraint when

the June pastures were enticing.

What fun there was in going home from school on warm.

rainy afternoons. All the children going down the road

would be packed in some great-hearted farmer's dearborn. !

The patter of the rain on the dearborn top and the squash, squash of the horse's hoofs in the soft soil were pleasant sounds; but what bliss to take off shoes and stockings and to walk barefoot in the road and to feel the soft mud ooze up between one's toes!

Socialism, heatedly and loyally upheld by some, scorned and denounced by others, will be the topic of a series of articles by H. L. Haywood, which will appear in the Palladium beginning with Monday's issue. While not a Socialist, personally, nevertheless, the editor heartily believes it will be good policy to publish such a series explanatory of socialism. If socialism is a menace, as some claim, the only manner in which that can be intelligently determined is through knowledge of socialist principles and ideals. If it is not a menage and contains many elements of good, the only way these may be recognized is through a thorough discussion of socialism. In securing Mr. Haywood, who is not related to the notorious I. W. W. leader, to explain socialism from the standpoint of a socialist to the readers of the Palladium, the editor feels he has been extremely fortunate. After a close acquaintanceship extending over a year's time, it is not beyond the mark to say that Mr. Haywood is one of the best students of evolution, political as well as in its various other phases, it has ever been the good fortune of the editor to know. And socialism is distinctly evolutionary in spite of its revolutionary tendencies. Socialism's Phenomenal Growth. Socialism has won its right to recognition as a great force in our republic, as well as throughout the civilized world, by a phenomenal political career of achievement. In Europe, to mention one instance, the German socialist party at the last election in that empire received 4,000,000 votes. In the United States, to give another exam-

pie, in 1892 the socialists cast 20.000 votes in the general election. Last fall their candidate for president received nearly 1.000.000 votes. In Wayne county, where heretofore they never mustered over 300 votes, the socialists last November showed up almost 1,000 strong. At that time nearly 700 men of Richmond voted the socialist ticket. Recently the local socialists nominated a municipal ticket, marking their first entry into local city politics. With one man out of each eleven men in Wayne county giving his support to the socialist party, and in view of the remarkable growth of socialist principles the world over, the editor of the Palladium feels the time has arrived for the subscribers of this paper to have presented for their consideration by an exponent of socialism an explanation or interpretation of this growing force. Mr. Haywood's first article, "The Socialism of Karl Marx," will appear in the Palladium on Monday.

Talks on the Public Library

However valuable the book may be

to those who are Interested In meterology It has a sUU further attraction to

his friends in Richmond. His gentle voice may almost be heard in the fol- i lowing "Elian" passage: "The passage from Winter Into ! Summer is a much more halting and , disturbed passage than that from j Summer into Winter. The first of the j Spring months. March, hardly ever

comes around that we don't deride and objurgate it for having got itself called a Spring month. And April, as offering what we are willing to accept as Spring, has with us scarcely better standing than March. We often mock also at what seems to be the unfounded pretensions of the first of the Autumn months, September. But September is passive; its offenses nothing but a refusal to change. It stays as hot and humid as August. In March change, and harh change, is the almost daily order. Bodies of very cold air from the north and bodies of warm air from the south are in a constant battle. Now for a few days the other, according to the usual fortunes of

war. Another Richmond Author. Francis A. MacNutt has recently

published a translation of "De Arbe Novo," by Peter Martyr, of Onghera. Judging from the reviews and the standing given by the critics, this book is perhaps the best that Mr. Mac- . Nutt has written. j "Peter Martyr was one of the most notable of the many Italians who took up their residence in Spain in the six

teenth century. He played a very important part at the courts of Ferdinand and Charles V. He was a priest, finally an abbot, a courtier, a diplomatist anl ambassador, a soldier, a man of letters, and a scholar." (Nation) "His book is a complete omnium gatherum, sea pie, olla podrida. salmagundi, or hotch-potch of facts, of legends, of lore about the Indians, observations on the climate, plants, soil, rivers, lakes, mountains, men, and manners of each new province as it was discovered, conquered, and accounts of it came to his ken."

THE DEPARTED FRIEND

T -

Though he that ever kind and true Kept stoutly step by .step with you. Your whole, long, gusty lifetime through, Be gone a while before Be now a moment gone before, Yet doubt not; anon the season's shall restore Your friend to you. He has but turned a corner still He pushes on with right good will Through mire and marsh, by heugh and hill, That self-same arduous way -That self same upland, hopeful wa That you and he through many a doubtful day Attempted still. He is not dead, this friend not dead. But in the path we mortals tread Got some few, trifling steps ahead And nearer to the end. So that you, too, once past the bend. Shall meet again, as face to face, this friend You fancy dead. Push gaily on, strong heart; the while You travel forward, mile by mile, He loiters with a backward smile Till you can overtake. And strains his eyes to search his wake, Or, whistling, as he sees you through the brake. Waits on a stile. Robert Louis Stevenson.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

A CALAMITY.

Chicago News.

It would be a public calamity should the legislature of

North Carolina accord to Orlando Dammitt, of Elmsdorf. permission to change his name. As O. Dammitt he has a national reputation, has relieved the pent feelings of thousands by permitting the innocent utterance of his name and has made the reputation of many a humorist.

MONKEYS SURVIVED.

Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Seventeen monkeys have aided California state uni

versity professors to prove that blue bottle stable flies are

not responsible for infantile paralysis. Science, continues

to put herself under obligations to the monkey family.

ALL HOPE GONE. Ohio State Journal. We have practically lost hope of ever amassing enough of this world's goods to lead one of our progressive institutions of learning to seek to build up its permanent endowment by giving an honorary degree.

LAUDABLE INCLINATION. Youngstown Telegram. Although she has been married three times, Jessie Young, of St. Louis, has not been obliged to change her name. No one will blame her for trying to stay young.

87-FOOT SPITE FENCE. Springfield Republican. A woman in New York, it is reported, is going to build a fence 87 feet high to prevent the neighbors from looking in her windows. This very nearly outdoes Jack and his Beanstalk, even though it has a more prosaic motive.

WHATD WE DO WITH IT? Galveston News. Of course we have no objection to another Isthmian Canal, through Nicaragua, but the project seems a good deal like three buttons on the back of a man's coat.

TOWN-PLANNING. There is a new book in the Library which should help to inspire an organization of citizens of Richmond to plan for the proper lines of the city's future development, to which every addition to the town should be obliged to adhere. This is a book by John Nolen entitled "Replanning of Small Cities." There are some seventy towns and cities in the United States engaged in comprehensive planning and replanning. The Indiana cities are Fort Wayne, Gary and Indianapolis. Richmond is as' beautifully located as any one of these three and possibly it natural situation is the best. It fills one with deep regret to see the entire attention of the city given over to making miles of straight, glaring shadeless, cement sidewalks and alleys, along the outskirts of the town, leveling all the natural undulations of the surface, leaving wretched banks of yellow clay, cutting down beautiful trees (the result of a century's growth) and adding to our city checker-board, without for a moment considering the natural loveliness of our landscape, and the possibilities far surrounding our neat, tight little town, with its small rectangular lots and dwellings built on the backs of lots abutting the streets, by a beautiful outer city an encircling zine planned witb some regard to the contour of the surface, some regard to its trees and some regard for its inspiring vistas. A street will surely cost less if built along the lines of least resistance, than if it is forced with relentless exactness through every hill. The streets might be curved around our knolls, leaving the high ground as delightful building sites. For there is no need for residences to be built on straight streets, they will be pleasanter to live in and look at if they are not. Altogether we wish our town, through some agency, could control the situation and not sell all its birthright of beauty for a mesa of potage. Two books of Charles Mulford Robinson, "The Improvement of Towns and Cities" and "Modern Civic Art" are also extremely readable and thought provoking to anyone interested in the welfare of Richmond.

A bibliograph of books and magazine articles will be gladly furnished by the librarian on the subject. Book From a Former Richmond Man. Edwin C. Martin, at one time editor of "The Telegram" has just published a book "Our Own Weather." The New York Times'in speaking of Mr. Martin's achievement says: "The subject of the weather has been Mr. Martin's hobby for a long time past, and the result is a book which will please and instruct all who

"It bears comparison with the translation of Mr. Gaffarel, which Mr. MacNutt himself has justly qualified as admirable. Like the venerable dean of the University of Marseilles. Mr. MacNutt knows his subject thoroughly, and like him, he has, combined with careful accuracy, that simplicity and lucidity of expression which renders easy and agreeable the reading of the most replete works, among the number of which is the 'De orbe novo.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased 'portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and wheu it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed, forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. CHENEY, & CO., Toledo, Ohio.
