Wanted New Constitution. It is unfortunate that the question of calling a convention for the purpose of drafting a new constitution for the state of Indiana could not be decided at a special election rather than the general election next month because it is such a vitally important question it is deserving of the undivided attention of the voters.

That is the very reason, however, that the Democratic machine decided to have this issue submitted at a general election. The machine had no desire for the voters to give their sole

attention to this question because it feared, under such a condition, the great majority of ballots would be in favor of calling the convention. The machine, as a matter of fact, was even reluctant to have this question brought before the people at a general election, when it would have to share with other important issues the attention of the voters, but in responding to the popular demand for such action it took precaution to provide a handicap for the adoption of the proposal. Under the act providing for the submission of this question to the people requirement is made that unless A MAJORITY OF ALL VOTERS VOTING AT THE ELECTION NEXT MONTH VOTE "YES" ON THE BALLOT READING: "ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION IN THE YEAR 1915?" THE PROPOSAL SHALL STAND DEFEATED. The normal vote at a

general election in Indiana is about 700,000, so if Indiana ia to have a convention to revise its outgrown sixty-three-year-old constitution at least 350,001 voters must vote "Yes" on the ballot they will receive on the third of November, regardless of the number of "No" votes. THOSE WHO DO NOT VOTE ON THIS QUESTION ARE COUNTED AS BEING OPPOSED TO THE CALLING OF SUCH A CONVENTION. This action imposes a great handicap to the movement for a new constitution because of the number of ignorant or indifferent voters who may neglect to mark their ballots.

This puts it up to every voter, interested in

having the basic law of the state fit modern conditions, to appoint himself a committee of one to get out and hustle in behalf of the success of this proposal, THE ADOPTION OF WHICH MEANS A NEW ERA IN INDIANA THE WRESTING OF THE CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT FROM POLITICAL MACHINES AND ITS RESTORATION TO THE PEOPLE. This is why politicians and unscrupulous interests are now making determined efforts to defeat the proposal to call a constitutional con

vention. Really representative government, which would be written into a new constitution, is exactly what they do not want. In his message to the legislature in 1913 Governor Ralston said: "The people want a new constitution, and personally I favor a constitutional convention." But a year and a half later we find the governor quoted as doubting the advisability of such action, "because of the expense." And the machine crowd is now echoing in chorus this expression. The brewery interests are fighting against a new constitution by raising the bugaboos of prohibition and woman's suffrage, while other interests opposed to the proposal are sadly exclaiming, "It would mean the writing into our basic law many Socialistic doctrines." The absurdity of all these objections to the calling of a convention will be pointed out in these columns later.

Editor Palladium: j Mr. Burk's communiaction in Thursday's Palladium has the ring of true metal, in the writer's estimation. It would be really amusing to read the varying and various opinions of the many voluable "hind-sight" philosophers and aftermath experts as to just how, and what and who caused the European war, exactly who are to blame and blameless fellows in this bloomin' European unpleasantness, etc., etc., etc., were it not for the very seriousness at this time in this neutral republic made up of all nations, tongues and kindreds of the world; whom but one law and purpose should rule and govern: "The Law of Universal Brotherhood and God-Fatherhood." "And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which he will

work for you today." Yes, let us all stand still and keep still talking about who did it and who is to blame, and wait to see the salvation of Omnipotent, Omniscient, Omnipresent Jehovah, how He permits evil to abound that good may much more abound: who by ultimate betterment with the survival of the fittest in this seeming cruel evolution of the world and its human civilization, will show us how and why: "I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil; I am Jehovah and doeth all these things." The monstrous error of today is, confusing religions with Christianity; talking about "Christian wars"; there could be no such thing as a christian war. Whoever believes there ever was a Christian war certainly does not believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ. JOSEPH M. THURSTON.

LOCKEVILLE, IND.

Karl Fells, a former German Uhlan, who visited his brother here several years ago, and is well known among the German residents, has written his brother here a letter from his home in Neunklrchen, in which he gives expression to the opinion of German citizens as to the outcome of the war. "One thousand wounded, among them French and British, are in the hospitals hereabouts. The worst wounds were inflicted by the British, who use dum dum bullets. But the British will do pennance. As soon as Antwerp and Ostend are on our hands, the British will make the acquaintance of our thunderers. Then the road to Calais will be open. Our troops will cross over into England. We say our thunderers, for these are our new guns 42 centimeter. Wherever they strike, goodbye. There are still millions of young persons In the country who have not been summoned to arms. So you see we are not worrying about the opposition, nor our own ability to cope with the situation. Shoot to Kill. "The brave Austrians are playing havoc with the Russians. The number

of our prisoners, Belgians, Russians and French is 276,000 and a couple thousand guns are on exhibition at Saarbrucken. There are many wounded among the Germans, and many dead among the French, for our soldiers shoot well and shoot to kill. "I presume you realize what lies our opponents are scattering broadcast about their successes. In the end, however, the truth will prevail, and the glorious victories of our troops will become known. We are fighting seven nations, but we are depending on our new guns which not only smash defensive walls, but even crumble immense cliffs as if they were made of chalk. Through them we hope to win. Plenty of Men. "When war was declared, we found the French, unbeknown to us, had been ready at our frontier since last May. But seven days after the first mobilization order, thousand of soldiers had passed through here on the railroad. Really we had to say In amazement, 'Where do the soldiers come from.' And yet, even now the soldiers come pouring through here in great numbers. "The Belgians are a treacherous lot. Even their women shot at our men. But. because of their treachery, we

smashed Liege, took Namur and Brussels, and Antwerp will soon be in our hands. Then comes Osten, and Bel

gium will be nothing more than a German state. "But, of course, we had our scare also. At one time, the French were only a day's march from here, but in a few hours the German troops were here, and soon the French were in retreat." Mr. Fells goes on to review the German victories in both theatres of war, which are matters of current events with Palladium readers now.

Would You Believe It? People often accept statements with

a sort of mental reservation as much as to say, "I am not convinced," which leads us to remark that there is nothing that will so thoroughly satisfy you of the excellence of . Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as a personal trial. Mrs. John Fishton, Peru, Ind., who used this remedy in her family for the past ten years, says of it, "I always give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to my children when sick with coughs or colds. I like it better than any other because they take it willingly and it is free from narcotics. It has never failed to give immediate

relief. For sale by all dealers. adv.

SAGE TEA DARKENS

HAIR TO ANY SHADE

Don't Stay Gray! Here's a Simple Recipe That Anybody Can Apply With a Hair Brush.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and abundant. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get this famous old

recipe which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry, feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair. A well known down-town druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one

strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears, and after another application or two, it becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and abundant. (Advertisement)

Mr. John B. Blackwood, Lockhart, S. C, writes: "My wife and I take Peruna occasionally, and we think it is the best medicine in the world. We keep it in the house. I also have a bottle of it in my tool chest, when I am away from home. I am a stone mason, and travel extensively over the country. I have caused the sale of many bottles of Peruna to my fellow workmen. Years ago I was a great sufferer from nervous indigestion, caused by catarrh. Tried everything in the way of medicine. No relief. I grew despondent. A friend told me to try Peruna. I began. It helped me at once and finally cured me. I am a well man today."

Cured My Wife. In a, later letter Mr. Blackwood writes: "Over a year ago my wife had a spell of sickness. The doctor said it wa9 kidney trouble and a bad stomach disease. I had two doctors. One of them visited her every day for Beveral weeks. They finally decided that she could not live. In despair, I began, to give ber Peruna. In small doses. In three days I could ee she was getUng a little Btronger. In three weeks she was walking around the house. In two months Bhe was strong: and well. In all, she took five bottles of Peruna. It cored her sound. After quitting the doctor

h never took a thing but Peruna. It

certainly saved her life."

A Prize Baby. In other letters from Mr. Blackwood we glean the following: T am going to send you & picture of my baby that took the prise at the baby show. I told the judges her name was Ruth Manalln Blackwood. She has taken several bottles of your remedy, Manalln. and Is the finest baby In this country. I beUeve your medicine saved the life of my Bttle two-year-old boy. The doctors satd he had a bad stomach, but did not help him. We save him Manalln and It cured him.
