Gaar, Scott's Future Clarence S. Funk, president of the M. Rumely company, is in Richmond today. The Palladium anticipates presenting to its readers in the news columns of this edition the perfectly logical statement by Mr. Funk that the Gaar, Scott branch of the factory is one of the best owned by the big corporation and that within a short time it will be operating with a full working force. Such a statement will have the wholesome effect of silencing the carpings of a few lugubrious pessimists who have even had visions of seeing the big plant torn down, brick by brick. Gaar-Scott products are world-famous and there is such a demand for them that it would be suicidal for the Rumely corporation to stop their manufacture. This fact is so evident that only good, common horse sense is required to reason it out.

Of late the Rumely company has gone through a depressing experience, but its fortunes are now being revived under the guiding hand of Clarence S. Funk and there is no reason to doubt but that eventually it will be one of the leading farm implement manufacturing concerns of the world.

The Sulzer Charges Tammany has opened its guns once more against Governor Sulzer, this time in an effort to secure his impeachment, charging that he used money contributed to his campaign fund for stock gambling in Wall street. A few weeks ago a Philadelphia woman sued the governor for damages, alleging breach of promise. There has always been the suspicion that Tammany was the influence behind this woman's action. Sulzer is a thoroughly vain man, a professional politician and with a very weak backbone. He was elected to the governorship as a Tammany creature and as soon as he took his office he opened fire on the Murphy machine. . Collier's Weekly, an unusually fair and independent publication, has little sympathy with Sulzer in his war upon Tammany. Collier's charges that it was not inspired so much by a desire to wrest the state from the control of the Democratic machine as it was Sulzer's insincere and selfish motive of bolstering his own political fortunes by posing as a champion of the people and the arch enemy of corrupt government. So far the only defense offered by Sulzer's friends to the charges that he gambled with campaign funds is that "he will be able to answer the accusations" and that "no legal penalty can be exacted if he did use campaign funds in Wall street." These latest charges against the governor of New York, however, may be utterly false and in due time Sulzer may offer a perfectly satisfactory explanation. But his actions so far tend to emphasize the popular impression that the governor has gotten the worst of the mud-slinging duel he has engaged in with Tammany. If in any event Sulzer is impeached the cause of good government will not suffer and the people . of the Empire state will not lose a Moses capable of leading them out of the wilderness of corruption which disgraces their commonwealth. They will merely be relieved of a man who follows politics as a profession because it brings to him the pomp of office and the glory of power; a man who measures his public acts by the standard of ''what's in it for me."

! all the trouble. If they would keep still everything would

take care of itself beautifully. Thus speaks he. A Hindu was once expatiating on vegetarianism and the horrible pin of destroying living creatures for food

when a missionary laid a magnifying glass across his

bowl of rice. The wrigglers crawling about therein amazed the Hindu. He broke the magnifying glass. When a friend pointed out to Peter the Great that the basin of the Neva was no fit place for a city, and even traced on a tree the high marks of a recent flood the king, born in the lowlands of Holland, and determined to have a city on the flats, thundered out "Cut down that tree!"

j To destroy the evidences and symptoms is ever the i quickest and easiest way out of our difficulty and the

most popular; hence, when the reformer is reforming and the prophet prophecying and the agitator agitating, the good folks cry out, "Away with these fellows; they are making all the trouble." But they aren't; they do not cause the unrest, they are but its expression. To fuel already prepared they but bring the flame. And it is as short-sighted to blame all the trouble on the prophets as it was for Peter to hold the tree responsible for the flood. At the root of every social unrest there is a social wrong and every social wrong is going, sooner or later, to get itself expressed, and the man who does the vocalizing is a social prophet. The prophet is a social certainty. This notion that the reformer agitator is a nuisance and a demagogue is the fallacy harbored by those sleek ones who profit by social wrongs; there is a kindred, but opposed, fallacy entertained by the opposite class, th&se who suffer from social wrongs. These say the prophet is unnecessary because the people can do their own rebelling if they need to. They have a theory that when the worm has been trodden on hard enough he will turn. If history has anything to teach us it is that this theory is groundless. One of the most fatal results of slavery and oppression is that it destroys the initiative and courage in a man and makes him contend with his serfdom. Let Pharaoh pile on more and more hardships, let him force them to make their bricks without straw, let him treat the Children of Israel as so many cattle, they will return to his feet and fawn upon him and even from the highway to liberty cry for his onions and his leeks and flesh-pots. Not until a Moses comes, with utterances few but cutting, with "No Compromise" for his slogan, with the fire of an all consuming purpose burning within, to lash and cut and sting the slaves to action, will they act. I read once the account of the experiences of a party lost for days in the Antarctic. When the fire died down and food gave out many in the camp began to grow numb with cold and seek for beds in the snow; then it was that a strong willed fellow, possessed of the courage and dauntlessness of a lion, fashioned himself a whip of frozen hides, and rossed the members of the group to their feet and drove them about with his lash not permitting them for a moment to stop. He saved the day; their very activity kept them alive until relief arrived. What an allegory is that of humanity! Men may be spit upon and driven like beasts and turned to sticks or those "articulate implements" about which Cicero elocuted, and still submit. Robert Hunter in his instructive book on "Poverty" makes a sharp distinction between the poor and the paupers; the former, he says, are keeping their souls alive and maintaining the struggle, but the pauper is content to lie where he is. He has lost his pride. There is the root of the whole matter. When masses are oppressed to that point it is useless to expect them to save themselves. Then, too, the harder pressed men are the nearer they are to the bottom of the dinner basket. They have everything to lose and that in short order. The loss of a week's work will find them penniless and starving. Little wonder, then, that the oppressed, the slaves, are the most conservative class in society. The slightest disturbance means to them the loss of all. So they avoid the disturbance. One thing only then can save them, the arrival of a prophet, a leader, who can point the way out of the labyrinth, who can fill them full of enthusiasm and other healthful fire. Stung into action aroused, lashed into motion, there is some hope for them. And that is the function of the prophet. And that is why society will not be able to keep house without him for many a day to come. We today need prophets. The gigantic evils which lie upon us like an incubus are unmoved because of the sluggishness and indifference of the rank and file. "We suffer," said Josiah Strong, "from the bad citizenship of good men." But ours is after all not so much a call to the agitator as to a leader equipped for thinking on a continental scale. When we apply as much intelligence to social problems as to machinery and invention, as to business and finance, when we have discovered our J. P. Morgans and our Edisons in sociology a way out will surely be found. The age calls for a man who is able to gather the whole era into his brain and then to reveal clearly to us the one underlying issue of it all.

SOCLL CERTAINTIES

II. "WHY IT IS NECESSARY TO HAVE PROPHETS TO KILL" By H. L. Haywood. (Note: The reader is warned against undertaking this essay until he has perused the article of last evening.) WE SAW In our study for last evening that social immobility and conservatism is a necessary prerequisite of sound social progress and serves to hold the human world

together just as gravitation holds the material universe intact But even as it

is orten necessary to exert a force of

gravitation so also is it necessary at times to "buck" the inertia of society, even at the risk of breaking our necks. In other words,

to revert to our former phraseology, it is

necessary to have prophets to kill. All progress begins in dissatisfaction. To quote Mr. Brierley, "Man would not

have made so good a thing as he has of this world If he had not begun by asking for a better." And the prophets who come a reforming are the malcontents par excellence. They arouse the masses, they "stir up the people,'! and they sting to action. Therefore they are necessary. And in all our sorial philosophizing we will do well to keep a place for them in our scheme of things. The average man, especially if he owns a farm and Is otherwise comfortably fixed, despises them as trouble brewers and sedltionists whose sole function is!to pester good citizens into unrest. "Let these everlasting muck-rakers and agitators quit their caterwauling and go to work to earn an honest living; It is they who make

Oh, once I dreamed of love's consuming flame, Of myrtle, mignonette and beauteous hair; Of sweetest lips and wild and bitter speech. Of gloomy songs, each set to gloomy air. Faded and gone these early dreams long since, And vanished even my dearest, fondest dream; Remains to me but what in passion fierce I poured forth once in many a moving rhyme. Thou, orphaned song , alone thou didst remain; Go forth now, too, my long-lost dream to seek, And shouldst thou find the airy shade again, A ghostly greeting from its author speak. S. F.

AGE NEED NOT REST. When a man has reached the age of eighty-seven and has had a life filled with work and honors it seems that he should be willing to rest on bis arms, to sit back and be content to see the world sweep past him In lis busy course. May he not say: "I have done my part. I am old. I must give up thought of future usefulness, content with what I have gained of fame and wealth and the esteem of my fellow men. The sunset path lies just before ma" Other men may say bo. Not Lord Halsbury of England, one of the world's greatest lawyers. He is almost eighty-eight years old. yet he is undertaking the general editorship of the English Digest, a new work In which the whole case law of England, from early times to the present, will be given In twenty-four volumes of 800 to 900 pages each. To keep his hand in. as the saying goes. Lord Halsbury has been editing recently another work, "Laws of England," in twenty-eight volumes. Wonderful old man! For many years he has been a leader of the learned British bar. For ten years he held the high office of lord chancellor, the highest Judgeship in England. He is old In years, but be holds with our Longfellow that "age is opportunity no less than youth itself." No doubt he turns often to that page of Tennyson whereon he reads: Death closes all, but something ere the end. Some work of nobis note, may yet b done. Youth has its fire, its vigor, the Inspiration of the life that runs lustily In its veins. Before it lies the world, conquerable by each newcomer on the stage. Age has its experience and its memories, its accumulated knowledge and its store of friendship. It knows from the testing of the years its capabilities and Its limitations. Each adds its quota to the world's store of knowledge. The physical world contracts as each explorer extends his journeys. The mental world expands with each Invention, each disco-very, each great piece of work undertaken and carried to successful completion. To the young man his daring, the loll of the field to the old man. lik Halsbury, the labors of the library and tie laboratory.

At the Murray. Week of Aug. 11 "Hello Bill."

Palace. In the three reels being shown at

the Palace today, patrons will enjoy a rare treat, the feature picture being an American educational and scenic subject, "Golden Gate Park and Its En- ; virons," showing nature in her most alluring attire. On the same bill is a reliance comedy, "The Silly Six," ! with Rosemarry Theby as a girl who ventures to change her six. Also a , Broncho western drama, "Joe Hibbard's Claim," a film full of thrilling ' and sensational dramatic situations.

Murrette. The Murrette will offer today and tomorrow a real picture, one that will appeal to everybody. "Quincy Adams Sawyer" is said to be the best New England story ever written and the play had a prosperous run for several seasons. In fact more people have seen the play possibly than any similar production ever offered the public. "Quincy Adams Sawyer has visited Richmond a number of times having been presented at the Gennett theatre by the original cast and according to public opinion, "the largest and best pictures before the world today are

i from the largest and best books," as

this "book had the remarkable sale of over one million copies and it is estimated that over ten million people have read the book. Now see the picture.

Many persons will no doubt be disappointed in the show the Frances Sayles players are presenting this week at the Murray theatre. "Hello Bill" is only passing fair, true it is funny but no one seems to appreciat the fact but Francis Sayles, who takes the part of "Bill Fuller." who mixes things. Del Sherrard as Christopher Cutting, who fixes things, isn't at all funny. The women are doing exceptionally well this week. Miss Leroy as Dorothy Dare, who loves Ned Hemingway, is very clever. Miss Leroy has an attrac-

; tive personality and she fits well into her part this week. Miss Eyferth as . Matilda Fuller, wife of the general's ; wife, seemed to be quite popular last evening. She received several ' "hands" during the performance. Miss i Eyferth has a way of getting about j the stage that is perfectly natural. She seems to improve with each per- ! formance. Ada Simpson as "Mary the ! Maid" was quite attractive. J. J. Klyun

as Dr. Hastings, had rather an odd part but nevertheless he did splendidly. Next week the company will present "In Wyoming." The regular matinees will be given throughout the week. E. R. T.

UTICA N. Y. MAN

Calls Saxo Salve "A Wonderful Remedy for Eczema."

THE WAY TO LIVE. It will give a new meaning to life if we learn to think of it as continuous, unending, running on without interruption through death and beyond into eternal years. This makes it infinitely important that we live well, doing nothing that will prove an eternal blot or evil, starting only things which will be forever blessings in the lives of others.

I am writing this with the hope that it may induce others who are suffering from skin affections as I was to try Saxo Salve. For three years I suffered from eczema and was treated

jby several physicians. None seemed

to relieve me from that terrible Itching. I saw an advertisement of Saxo Salve and-decided to try it. The very first application brought relief, and I can not say too much for a remedy that has cured me from eczema. Albert F. Knopka, 309 Wageo street, Utica, N. Y. In all forms of skin disease Saxo Salve quickly allays the terrible itching, and Its antiseptic, healing properties penetrate the skin and destroy the germs of disease. If you have any skin trouble try Saxo Salve on our guarantee to return your money if it does not help you. Leo H. Fihe, druggist, Richmond, Ind. P. S. Our cod liver and iron tonic, Vinol, will purify and enrich the blood. Try It on our guarantee. (Advertisement)
