save money because otherwise a state veterinarian or assistant would be called in at $7 a day. It is not only more efficient, therefore, to have an outside veterinarian to give all his time to the work, it is cheaper in dollars and cents.

The Dairy Inspector. Certain persons have started going a tale to the effect that the Palladium has been opposing certain individuals for the position of dairy inspector and boosting the chances of a favorite applicant. Those who started this story are fit subjects for the Annanias club because there is not a word of truth in it. The Palladium has neither opposed nor advocated the appointment of any one man. It has stood for a principle. And this principle is the result, not of guesswork or of prejudice, but of a careful investigation of the whole field. A member of the staff spent the greater part of a month studying the matter. He made two visits to the State Board of Health, he spent one day at the Dayton board of health, he wrote to the health officers of some thirty or more Indiana towns, consulted with several experts, visited a number of dairymen and made a careful study of a large number of books and government publications. It was this investigation which convinced us that the dairy inspector should be a trained veterinarian and that he should not be a local man. We have no quarrel with any local veterinarian, we would not oppose the appointment of a single one of them personally, but we are persuaded it will be for the best interests of the health of the city and the interests of the dairymen to have a veterinarian from out the city. There are two good reasons why a local man already with a private practice is not desirable. One is that he wouldn't have sufficient time for the work. It is surprising what a wide range of duties lie in the province of the inspector. He is here compelled not only to look after the dairy inspection but also to a considerable extent to help in food inspection. If he does his work as it should be done he will be obliged to devote his entire time and energy to it. Richmond is too large fi city to have a man giving his spare hours to so important a function. And the position is too responsible, too vital to the interests of local people to be made the side-line of anybody. The other reason for having a full time veterinarian is that he cannot otherwise deal satisfactorily with the dairymen. If he is in private practice the dairymen will feel constrained to give him their work. He will have enemies among the dairymen themselves and will not be able to get them to co-operate, a thing that is es

sential to efficiency in the work. It is not fair to the dairymen, or to the other practicing veterinarians of the city. It gives him an unfair advantage over them. The dairymen have so expressed themselves.

The Scholar in Politics. He is one of the signs of the time. He is a straw which shows which way the wind is blowing.

All Men Need Will Power

BY WALTER DENNIS. Let no one despair because he has broken his resolution. Flchte has well said that nothing is more destructive of character that for a man to lose all

faith In his own resolutions, because he has so often determined, and again

elsewhere, "the statute of the perfect man" is attained only by slow gradation of travel, study, effort and patience.

Postal Order Department Watches That Federal Laws Are Not Disobeyed By Swindlers.

Professor Elbert Russell, who will make the race for Finly Gray's seat next fall.

Postal autobrities have to be continually on the alert for persons and firms who try to defraud the people through the money order branch of the mail service. In most cases the people are perfectly willing to be fleeced, according to Henry Deuker, who has charge of the money order office. The very best citizens, with intelligence enough to spot a graft will answer advertisements of clairvoyants and others which, on the face of them, are games to get money. Almost invariably these advertisements call for $1 or some similar sum of money.

It is astounding, said Mr. Deuker,

ments closely, Mr. Deuker is able In almost, all cases to tell whether the money is being sent to a legitimate business house or not When there is any doubt, postal inspectors are notified, who investigate the cases. Of the foreigners who send money to the old country, the Bulgarians give the local postal authorities the most trouble. Not more than twenty per cent of the foreigners in this country have their families with them, so each time they send their pay. they send the bulk of It to their families, who can live in comparative luxury on what would be mere existence wages in this country. The Bulgarians take advantage of this to send money to slum dwellers on the continent to pay their transportation to this country. When they

arrive they work for the man who furnished the money until they have paid their passage and a high rate of interest. This is contrary to the immigration laws. Recently inspectors stopped the operations of a Bulgarian who, in one day, sent $800 to his native land through the Richmond post-office.

leges, graduates will aspire more and more to enter the arena of practical affairs.

But even if this were not true the mere drive r

of conscience would force these men into activity. We are coming to realize that education is a social product; almost a gift, one might say, from society. When education was eligible only to private incomes and the privilege of a special class it was natural for each educated man to look upon his culture as a private property to the fruits of which he was alone entitled. But now that the community gives a complete education to the young man he can no longer think of it as a private monopoly but rather as a trust. He becomes the steward of something that belongs by right to society. As trained and cultured men come to realize this aspect of education they -will seek to make returns by active political work, than which no form of social service is more noble or more essential. They will even come to welcome the opportunities for such service withjeagerness rather than make a lame consent as has too often been the case.

One local man has been working vigorously for the place and his friends have been working for him. He has been recommended as a good man, as a local man, and as needing the money. Is it not surprising that after all that has been said by citizens of this community about efficiency in administrative offices a man would dare to ask for a place on these grounds? Does a man put up any such plea when he applies for a place with some private corporation? Imagine a black-smith coming to you and saying, "Let me operate on your sick child. Why should you pay a surgeon a hundred dollars for doing it. I will do it for five." And you say to him, "What are your qualifications?" He replies, "I am a good man." How long would it take you to bow him out? It is an excellent thing, a necessary thing, for a man to be good but being good doesn't qualify anybody to do work that requires special technical skill. Or imagine a man coming to you and saying, "Let me build that house for you." You say, "Are you an experienced architect?" He replies, "O, no, I am a book-agent." "Well," you ask! "what are your qualifications?" He answers, "Why I am a Richmond man." Merely to state the matter thus reveals how absurd it is. Of course, if a man is in a position to do the work and is qualified for it it is better that he be a local man but if there is not a local man to be

The pastors of seventeen churches got a specialist from Chicago to manage a revival for them. A local factory recently went outside the city to get a manager. Business men everywhere recognize that it is a perfectly justifiable thing to do. The third point, that he needs the money, needs no refutation. A large number of us might claim a position that basis. It is not, however, that local veterinarians do not have the necessary skill, because they do. every one of them ; but it is that they are not in a position to give adequate service. A graduate veterinarian recently out of school can be secured, we have been assured over and over by those who know, for $1,200 or $1,300. The inspector's salary now is $1,000. But if the veterinarian can do the tuberculin testing he can

Commercialism . ' One of the interesting things about the mass of pamphlets, reports, critiques, questionnaires, etc., which are being circulated in regard to public schools is the prominence being given to the movement for industrial training. Many schools are being equipped to turn a graduate out as a trained man ready to earn a living. And the same thing is being done for the girls. An effort is now being made in New York City to equip each girl with a complete knowledge of home economics and methods. Serious objections are being raised to this, and some of them are legitimate, but it seems to us that one common objection is rather milk-and-watery; we refer to the charge that all this is breeding "commercialism." There seems to be a notion prevalent in some quarters that the men who go in for commerce and industry are destined to become sordid, materialistic and dead to the appeals of the more refined interests of life. These folks have visions of a "money grabber" and naively suppose that every commercial man is a money-grabber in embryo. This is simply not true. In its crass beginnings every new movement or development in human society has begun by upsetting the old standards, destroying old moral ideas, and militating against the accepted type of personality. Religion, even, does it. Every great founder of religion has been called a heretic in his own day. It is doubtless true that in the course of its becoming adjusted to the race our new (comparatively) system of commerce and industry are producing an undesirable type of human but a deeper analysis will reveal that this is superficial and bound to pass away. As a matter of fact it could be shown that "commercialism" is making for many of the most

! admirable virtues: temperance, for instance, not

in alcohol only, but in the use of all things. The demands of success in business call for a thoroughly sober man. And reliability, also. We take this for granted now but a brief review of past conditions will show that it is being developed now as never before. It is coming to be seen that honesty is essential to commercial success. Many do not think this but they will be compelled to, finally. These, and many other admirable qualities, are being built into the modern man and becoming instinctive. This is not to say that the type now being evolved by present industrial conditions is ideal

sense but it is to say that we have little cause to elevate

the eye-brows when the word "commercialism" is mentioned.

CROSSED THREADS

The silken threads by viewless spinners spun. Which float so idly on the summer air, And help to make each summer morning fair, Shining like silver in the summer sun, Are caught by wayward breezes, one by one, And blown to east and west and fastened there, Weaving on all the roads their sudden snare. No sign which road doth safest, freest run. The winged insects know, that soar so gay To meet their death upon each summer day. Low dare we any human deed arraign; Attempt to reckon any momen's cost; Or any pathway trust as safe and plain Because we 6ee not where the threads have crossed? . Helen Hunt Jackson.

WALTER

It is he who resolves to succeed and who at every fresh rebuff begins absolutely again with a more determined will to reach the goal of success. The shores of fortune are covered with the stranded wrecks of men of brilliant ability, but who have wanted courage, faith and education, and have, therefore perished in sight of more resolute but less capable adventurers who succeed in making port. Hundreds of men go to their graves in obscurity, who have been obscure only because they lacked the pluck, the ambition, and the will power to make the first effort, and who, could they only have resolved to begin, would have astounded the world by their achievements and successes. The fact is that as Sydney Smith has well said, that, in order to do anything in this world that is worth doing, we must not starve, shivering on the bank, thinking of the cold and danger, but jump right in up to our eyes and scramble the best we can to make it to the other side. The great trouble with many of the American people is, they are not willing to start at the bottom off the

ing at the top and working down.

. They are not mindful of the fact that: the few who have named aeceess to 1 j the top round of the ladder of success, j ! have been the men that started as mes- '

sengers ior some uig on ice, errand boy, delivery boy in some country j stcre and many other menial positions

that th aspirant of today, who is looking for success, would consider degrading to the extreme. Decision Necessary. It will not do to be continually and perpetually calculating and adjusting changes, it did all very well before the flood, when man could consult his friends upon an intended publication, invention or some uw idfa in science for a hundred and fifty years, and then live to see its operation as a success or failure for six or seven centuries afterwards. The man of today waits and rloubts and hesitates consulting his cousin, his neighbor, brother, uncle and his would-be friends until one day he awakes to find himself sixty or seventy years of age and having wasted all his time consulting this one and that one, his ambition is-dwarfed, his will power is gone and then he starts out for the rest of his life growling, complaining, finding fault with the national government, state government and even the ward heeler in his precinct, but the fact of the matter is that if the wealthy men of this country were compelled to distribute their money equally among the men of this country in ten years time a majority of them would have it back again. And why? Because they have the ability to do things practically and not theoretically. This world was not made for the slow, squirmish, fastidious man, but for those who are industrious and with power to do something. Obstacles and perplexities every man must meet and conquer or they will conquer him, and there is no fixed rule by which you may conquer, but the nearest one that can be given is

rise as it is for the sun, and there is no force on earth that can stop will power, if properly directed.

GOOD BLOOD. Given good, clean, healthy blood. Xaure will lo the rest with any case of catarrh. Inflammatory rheumatism, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, bolls, pimples ,or skin disease of any kind. Good blood invariably means vigorous appetite, good digestion and strength. Thus it stands to reason that an affective "alterative" or blood purifier, while it will not cure all diseases, will help In fighting any disease and will cure those mentioned above, all of which comes from bad blood. Forty years ago Dr. A. R. Simpson of Richmond, was known as one of the most successful physicians in three states. His success was founded almost exclusively on one prescription, the most powerful blood purifier ever known. After his death this prescription was regularly put up as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound. It has been used extensively all over the country, and in forty years has never failed, even in that most dreadful of all blood diseases, syphilis in
