Dangerous Disloyalty Secretary of War Garrison, apparently act- . ing for the Wilson administration", has delivered a merited rebuke to former President Theodore Roosevelt on account of the latter's tactless speech at the citizens' instruction camp at Plattsburg, N. Y. This rebuke, while contained in a telegram to Major General Leonard Wood who was responsible for permitting Colonel Roosevelt to speak, was in reality, intended for the latter. It is so fair and conclusive ah indictment of Colonel Roosevelt's inflammatory speech that the Palladium takes pleasure in herewith reproducing it as very expressive of the Palladium's feelings concerning the ex-President's speech: "I have. Just seen the report In the newspapers of the speech made by former President Roosevelt at the Plattsburg camp. It is difficult to conceive of anything which ; could have a more detrimental effect upon the real value , of this experiment than such an accident. "This camp, held under Government auspices, successfully was demonstrating many things of great moment ' Its virtue consisted in the fact that It conveyed its own .impressive lessons in its practical and successful opera- , tlon and results. "No opportunity should have been furnished to anyone to present to the men any matter excepting that which was essential to the necessary training they were there ' to receive. Anything else could only have the effect of distracting attention from the real nature of the experiment, diverting consideration to Issues which excite controversy, antagonism and Ill-feeling and thereby impair- , ing, If not destroying what otherwise would have been : so effective. "There must not be any opportunity "given at Platts- , burg or at any other similar camp for any such unfortu- . nate consequences." ,

Colonel Roosevelt in his speech criticised President Wilson because he had not prepared the country for war and because he had not joined England's raid on Germany because of the latter's invasion of Belgium over a year ago and the Lusitania incident. Colonel Roosevelt shows unmistakably that he is pro-British to the point of gladly involving this country in the present war on Britain's side. Consequently, when he denounces those of his fellow-citizens who are pro-Germans, even though they are not 'such to j the point of desiring to involve their country in ithis war on Germany's side, and accuses them of disloyal and seditious conduct in their attempts to secure for Germany fair hearing before the bar of American public opinion, he lays himself open to the further well merited charge of himself being seditious and disloyal in his proBritishism which has for its object the immolation of hundreds of thousands of American lives on England's bloody war altars. President Wilson, among other things, is

KUTH DESCRIBES ROAD CONDITIONS FOUND IN WEST : Under date of August 24, Steve Kuth, who is traveling in the west, writes as follows: Knowing that the patrons of your excellent paper are taking great interest in the good roads movement, I will write about the Lincoln highway. It is kept in fine condition. The roads in this country are much better taken care of and we can ride forty to fifty miles an hour with pleasure, as they are so smooth. We were on the Lincoln highway from Denver through Greeley to Cheyenne. Wyo. All bridges are painted red, white and blue on the ends of the railings. In the towns they have sign boards painted red, white and blue, with letters, "Lincoln Center." If the bridges are not marked you know you are on the wrong road. We saw an old mud fort, called Fort Lupton, about forty feet square, with walls about four feet thick.. We think of the environment of these early pioneers, with the Indians trying to take their lives, living in a fort on a trail that today a machine in two hours and twenty minutes covers 120 miles, beating the fastest train from Denver to Cheyenne. If you don't think that good roads make a difference and place a county or state on the map, go to the wt where they are putting the good roads movement in practice. They have an organization that publishes the condition of the roads and bridges every day, and the traveling public is notified each day of a defective bridge over a bad place exists within 100 miles of Denver, and 1 understand that it is arranged this way all the way to the coast. COW CRUSHES BOY EATON, O.. Aug. 27. Hazen Mclntyre, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Mclntyre, East Somers street, suffered lerlous injuries - Wednesday , evening when he was knocked down by a frightened cow. Tbe animal started to run and the lad was caught between her and a tree. He was knocked down and suffered a fractured scalp, and for a time his condition was regarded serious. For several hours he- was in an unconscious condition, but it Is believed now that he will recover.

ONCE-OVERS

Much of the domestic trouble In married life comes from a difference In viewpoint," where neither partner takes the pains to find out how things look from the other side. There must be a great deal of give and take in married life, If It Is to be a success. You have many little eccentricities. Your wife has many. You should have expected this when you married. To be happy you will have to humor your life partner in her peculiarities. Avoid disputes over trivial things. Should differences arise, be considerate. Don't sduabble. Each has a right to an opinion, silent or expressed, just consider this when you feel aroused because what you' believe is just rlflht is not looked upon in the same way by the one with whom you expect to spend the remainder of your life. Heard a good plan that one married couple follows. When' one or the other is angry they keep silent do not say a word till the atorm blows over. Works out fine. Don't you want to adopt it?

MAAG'S SON-IN-LAW INTERVIEWS PREMIER OF RUSSIAN PEOPLE N. L. Piotrowski, an American of Polish descent, who married Miss Theresa Maag, of this city, is today in Russia as representative of the Chicago Herald. Mr. Piotrowski is well known in Richmond, having visited here many times. He and his wife were married In this city. Mr. Piotrowski went to Russia, not as a war correspondent, but as a special writer and to study conditions of the Poles. A recent issue of the Chicago Herald contains a leter from him in which he describes his officially approved interview with the Russian prime minister, Mr. Goremikin. In regard to the promise that Poland would be united and set free the prime minister said "The proclamation was made by the grand duke with the knowledge and sanction of the emperor and of the ministry." Asked how this was to be accomplished with the Germans in possession of the greater part of Poland, he replied: "The occupation of Poland by the German army is only temporary. Russia is detemined to carry on this war not only until the Germans are driven out of Poland but until Germany is completely crushed. This is the sentiment, of the emperor, of the government and of the whole Russian nation. We are as one on that point. After that has been accomplished then all the three parts of Poland will be united and made free in accordance with the grand duke's proclamation."?

made Commander-in-Chief of the United States army and navy by our constitution. Colonel Roosevelt, therefore, was extremely disloyal, as well as lacking in even the commonest kind of politeness and tact, when he criticised the army's Commander-in-Chief before enlisted men and officers at the Plattsburg camp. President Wilson, through Secretary of War Garrison, is not only entitled but is in duty bound to make it impossible for Colonel Roosevelt or any other private American citizen to repeat such dangerously disloyal words before any organization of our army or navy. . Milk Inspection With the memory of the typhoid fever epidemic of 1913 fresh in mind,. Richmond citizens are now justified in demanding of the health authorities of the city an explanation of the lax system of dairy inspection which has been carried on for over a year. A year ago last June a dairy inspector tendered his resignation because there was a general demand that his services be dispensed with. In selecting Dr. Clem to succeed him the promise was made to the public that dairy inspection in the future would be carried on in a most efficient manner. If the public was as sure of getting its milk supply from well; regulated and sanitary dairies as jt is of getting full-weight and fullmeasure values from local merchants, the pro-, test against the Clem dairy inspection methods would not be heard now. ; And why is it not possible for the city to have as competent a dairy inspector at $1,000 a year as it is a weights and measures inspector at $720 a year, who also, for good measure, relieves Dr. Clem of a part of his duties (inspecting mercantile establishments in the city south of Main street), and acts as marketmaster? This question is easily answered ; a competent and dependable dairy inspector can be secured if a little care is taken in making the selection. The most serious charge in the indictment against Dr. Clem is his very -apparent indifference to public opinion. This is instancedby his persistent refusal to make public the grade scorings of the various dairies he is supposed to have inspected. He has assumed the attitude, in this matter; that-i was none of the public's business what ratings were established for the various dairies from which they obtain their milk. As a matter of fact it is extremely important that the dairies be competently scored and that thorough publicity be given to these scorings. Without the public being made acquainted with the ratings of the various dairies what chance has the average citizen to know whether he is securing his milk supply from a dairyman who is complying with the state regulations for the maintenance and operation of . dairies or a man who maintains filthy premises and does his milking in an insanitary manner and in dirty barns? And, on the other hand, what incentive is there for a dairyman to spend his money improving conditions at his dairy so that his milk supply will be pure and uncontaminated if the public is not to know that he is more deserving of its patronage than his competitor who refuses to comply with the requirements for the production of pure milk?

EMPIRE OF ENGLAND GAINS TERRITORY LONDON, Aug. 27. The London Chronicle declares that since the beginning of the war the British empire has increased by 3,236,000 square miles or nearly a third. The empire before the war comprised 11,454,862 square miles, excluding Egypt, the Sudan and Cyprus, which were technically Turkish.

To lira. Sarah A. Wrigley, The Palladium is indebted for the appended ketch of thrift exercised by one of the early German settlers of Rich,mond: ' One would hardly expect to find sentiment under such rough exterior, but ah aged wood sawyer, who came into the . kitchen to warm hiB wooden shoeB.' surprised us with the romance Of his life, "The old, old story ever new." . - I wish it was in my power to reproduce his language and to picture the light in his faded, blue eyes and the warm glow that softened his wrinkled face, as he told of serving his time in the German army,, and then, after many disappointments, securing the money for his passage - to America, where he hoped to find a better home than in Germany; for home was the goal of his ambition, a home with his beloved Christine, who must be left for a time in the Fatherland. With many sighs and tears' she saw him sail away to a land of which she knew little;, but her Hans was true, he had promised to send money for her to "come over," and she had promised to leave father and mother for the lover of herTouth, Years passed before, he could send for Christine. He worked hard, saving all that he could and finally there was a happy meeting In Richmond. When they had talked over their plans for the future, Christine decided that they could not be married -before Hans' had paid for his lot and built a house. She took service in a good family and saved her wages to furnish their home of two rooms in the out skirts of the village. She succeeded better, than Hans, who had to pay. for board and lodging. It was a happy day when they mov ed Into their little home, the fruit of so much patient effort. Sons were born to them, the house was enlarged and additional- land was bought, which in course of time, became valuable for town lots. After rearing her family, Christine crossed the river of Death, leaving Hans to follow. He lost all Interest in life when she was gone "The heart that truly loves never for gets, But as truly loves on to the close." And he soon gave up the effort to live. We may hope they have found an "Eternal home" in the "Father's House of Many Mansions." PURDY ELECTED TO TAKE PLACE RUSSELL HELD Earlham Trustees Also Ap point Prof. D. W.

There Are Benches

There are benches, solemn benches, where the judges sit in pride, Sending countless men to prison. (Goodness must be satisfied). There are benches built for children bent on many a school-day lark. But the benches most appealing are the benches in the park. Did you ever stop a moment on your happy morning walk For a little conversation with some man ashamed to talk? If you want to know life's meaning,, all Its Secrets weird and dark, You can go and do your gleaning on the benches in the park. Here a boy who came to conquer when his life was in its morn, Beaten by the roaring city with its heartlessness and scorn; There an old and feeble outcast with no wish to guide his barque Neither knowing any solace save the benches in the park. Misdirected brains are plenty in these pitiful retreats; Shattered hopes and battered prospects float like spectres o'er the seats. There's a man who needs our friendship he who did not make his mark. Did you ever stop to visit on the benches in the park? William F. Kirk.

DOESN'T MAKE Continued From .Page One. "Here,!' Dr. Clem said, indicating a safe at his left hand. "Show me just one," begged the reporter. Here the conversation came to an abrupt end, for Dr. Clem became angry and made some insulting remarks, interpolated with threats, and the reporter said good-night without receiving any response. Smelser Supports Clem. Dr. S. G. , Smelser, secretary of the city board of health, is a champion of Dr. Clem, but other city officials are not willing to make any statements. Mayor Robbins, when visited at his home yesterday afternoon, stated that he had read the story published, but that he had nothing to say at this time. Dr. Smelser was not so reticent, however. After damning this newspaper up and down hill, the worthy doctor entered, or rather tried to, into a long defense of the work done bv Dr. Clem. "Does. Dr. Clem hand In monthly reports to you as to the grade scoring of dairies?" queried the reporter. "What is that your business?" replied the city official. "It is not my personal business, but as a representative of a newspaper, representing the people, it is right that you should be. willing to keep tbe public posted on anything that comes under your notice as a public official." . "What business Is it of the public whether Dr. Clem hands in a report monthly or not. Show me the law requiring him to do so, show me the law," Dr. Smelser went on, growing excited. Keeps Reports Secret. "Just a moment, doctor," said the interviewer, "it is not necessary to produce any law books or ordinances in this instance, because it is a common sense proposition that the inspec tor must make some kind of a report to the health officer, for if he did not. how would the health officer know whether he was doing his duty or not?" "He reported to me every month," Dr. Smelser said. "Show me the last report?" request ed the reporter. "Why should I show it to you?" "Because I want to show it to the public." "Well, I haven t got it here now,'' the health officer said, stuttering and growing red in the face. "Well, well I suppose Dr. Clem has it if it has not been' destroyed by your people," he concluded. "How would it be possible for us to reach your records?" was asked. Still angry and embarrassed Dr. Smelser flustered around and it was apparent that he was trying to seek an outlet to the hole he had unconsciously scrambled Into. - How He Reported. "There is no ordinance making it necessary for the inspector to make a report to me, but he did just the same." How?" "He came to me every month and 1 told me about where he had been and j what he had seen." "Then you have no record of these reports?" , "Well, no. Dr. Clem has them." "Then you don't know, officially, whether inspections have been made or not. That is you have no official records, as health officer, what has been done?" -j Once again the official was growing angry and be went out of the room to answer the telephone and returned in a calmer mood. -1

Deaths from the recent storms totaled 275, according to revised lists. Persons still missing number 102, but many of these probably will be accounted for. STEALS TO SEE MOTHER. COLUMBUS. Ind., Aug. 27. Because he was homesick to see his mother, Carl Strengler, 17, was arrested for stealing a bicycle, when his employer, vho is a ticket agent here, refused to give him transportation to Indianapolis. His case was taken un der advisement by the mayor. It sounds like a veterinary ward, though, of course, it is the beading on the live stock market which says: "Live hogs weak; cattle, too, show some weakness veal active and steady sheep and lambs maintain strength." DRINK MORE WATER IF KIDNEYS BOTHER Eat less meat and take Salts for Backache or Bladder trouble Neutralices acids. Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, they become overworked; get sluggish, ache, and feel like lumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them flush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a. real sick person shortly. At first you feel a dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from bachache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad. Eat less meat, drink lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonfull in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your, kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irritation,, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is inexpensive, cannot injure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep tbe kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble. Advertisement
