Mclpolder Again The world admires shrewdness. We believe in giving credit where credit is due. John Melpolder is to be congratulated on his ability to put across whatever he sets out to do. ' If he wants something done he usually gets it; if he wants a movement - killed,, he is able to line- up enough influences to have it done. . A fine illustration of the methods of this man is to be seen in the manner in which he brought about the defeat of a movement fostered by some of the finest women of this community to provide wholesome lunches for the children of Whitewater school. We commend Melpolder for his "political ability, but roundly condemn his methods. , , , . Melpolder did not want lunches served to the poor children of Whitewater school, because, as it is reported, the serving of food to these children would interfere with his administration, of "scientific charity" in the district in which the Whitewater school is located. Science as applied

to charity and as exemplified by Melpolder set at naught the philanthropic effort of .some of the good hearted and kind women of the city. The hostility of this "cold, professional, statistical paid agent .of public philanthropy" was

known before the matter was presented to the school board. Melpolder found his ally for defeating the women in Superintendent - of Schools Giles, who shares some of the opinions of Melpolder and looks upon the problem of charity from a cold "scientific" standpoint. The attitude of Giles is a surprise to most of the community, for the belief obtained that the head of the Richmond schools was actuated in his decisions to a certain degree at least by the dictates f sympathy and kindness. Why Giles "should be such an intimate friend and a supporter of Melpolder is something which investigation has not "yet disclosed. So much is apparent that in several cases where opposition to Melpolder's methods has been voiced,

the name of Giles was connected with the incident. In this instance, the women of this city whose love was ready to go out to unfortunate children have both Melpolder and Giles to criticise for the defeat of their effort. The conditions that prompted the installation of a lunch system in Whitewater school are these: Many of the little children come to school without breakfast, or are given so little food that they have neither the mental stamina nor the physical strength to work to advantage in the class room. The teachers of Whitewater school and many mothers planned to provide lunches at a very reasonable cost and to give the food away free to those, pupils whose parents could not afford to pay the nominal' charges asked. It was believed that the system would be self-supporting in a short time: Money for the movement was on hand: ' " But in the meantime, Richmond's paid agent of public philanthropy, in his superior wisdomj decided that 'from' the scientific standpoint the

It must be kept in mind, however, that these lunches would not come under the "scientific" management of the Social Service Bureau. This also "prejudiced Melpolder against the plan, for besides administering "scientific charity" be erroneously believes that he has a monopoly on all the charity work of Richmond a point in which he is greatly mistaken, for Christ-like women will help the sick and poor irrespective of his arrogant assumption of power.' ' The board that has jurisdiction over Melpolder ought to take into consideration that the Social Service Bureau work as such, meets no opposition. The community as a whole believes in the organization, but an overwhelmingly large majority of the citizens have concluded that John Melpolder is not the man to conduct the work. Melpolder's strength is in his ability to organize. He has done that work well. The time has come when he should be asked to, resign, and his place

be given to a person who unites organization ability with love, kindness and sympathy. A man is needed to whom the poor and unfortunate can turn as to their brother, in whom they will have confidence, to whom they will tell their troubles. Melpolder is a misfit in Richmond. His opposition to the lunches at Whitewater school is merely another indication of the man's cold attitude toward the unfortunate ones.

The Cost of the Leak

The "leak" investigation, started by Representative Wood of Indiana, will cost between $75,000 and $100,000. Sherman L. Whipple, the Boston attorney engaged to aid the committee, is expected to receive $25,000 for his work. If the committee is able to discover the "leak" and to find out where and how Wall Street is hooked up with Washington, the money will be well spent.

Main Street Lights Every one will admit that the new system of lighting Main street is far superior to the old

one. Even those who grumbled when the pro-

gressive business men and real estate owners

finally put through the improvement will now ad

mit that the change is beneficial to them and a distinct advertisement for the city. When a

stranger visits a city that is imperfectly lighted

he takes away with him an impression that is not

a good advertisement for the municipality.

trict, bespeaks progressive business men.

One of the largest melons ever, divided by an industrial concern'was announced a few days ago

when the directors of the Bethlehem Steel cor

poration increased the common stock dividend from 7Va per cent to 10 per cent quarterly. The country at large is wondering why the Bethlehem corporation and other steel companies could not

furnish projectiles to the navy cheaper than the

British company which landed the contract. In

terest is divided between the common stock

dividend and the failure of American corpora tions to furnish the American navy with shells The big dividend coming shortly after the award

ing of the government contract to the British firm is making the people wonder why Uncle Sam does not start an armor and shell factory of

Editor the Palladium : Replying to an article in ypur paper last evening headed, "Melpolder Blocks," X for one would like to know what right or what business Melpolder r the Social Service bureau has to interfere with the workings 'of the ichools of this city especially when it Is a work of love and charity of the truest and broadest sense. ' Melpolder is getting his $1,500 a year lalary and three full meals a day and It is nothing to him whether the chillren of the city go hungry or naked. ( am also surprised at the lack of in

expert to dictate to him in the manner he has. Melpolder's connection with the city school board at most is a very minor one, that of city truant officer for which services rendered cr not rendered the county pays the Social Service bureau $300 a year. The only reason Melpolder has fo?

blocking the lunches at Whitewater school to not because the system will pauperize the children but because the check for $35 given by the Domestic Science was handed to Principal Ramsey and not to the Social Service bureau. Is it not time that a halt was called on this modern Pooh-Bah who like the Pooh-Bah in the opera Mikado was not only Lord High Everything but always has his hand stuck out behind his back waiting for another insult? Christ says: "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them' not for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

MISHAWAKA, lad., Jan. 2. mong the many people of Mishawaka md vicinity who praise Tanlac, the Master Medicine, none is more earnest in his indorsement of the new preparation that Scott P. Shuitz, a carpenter who lives at 215 West Battell street, this city. Mr. Shuitz indorses Tanlac because of relief his wife derived from its use. The story of Mrs. Shults's remarkable relief through use of the Master Medicine was given by " Mr. Shuitz on November 5; as follows: "For .a long time Mrs. Shuitz has suffered from' stomach trouble, indigestion bothering her severely. Her appetite was very poor and what she did eat was not digested properly. Her sleep was fitful and did not rest her. Her liver also was in very bad condition' and, in fact, her system in general was run down.

"Friends recommended Tanlac so highly that Mrs. Shuitz decided to give it a trial. She has tried Tanlac now and her stomach , la in fine condition. Her appetite is greatly improved. She sleeps well at night now. Her liver is in better condition and in fact, she has improved generally. "My wife is a great deal better in every way since taking Tanlac and I recommend this medicine for others who are bothered as she was." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is especially beneficial for stomach, liver and kidney trouble, catarrhal complaints, rheumatism, nervousness, loss of appetite and the like and is a fine tonic and a general system purifier. Tanlac is now being specially introduced and explained in Richmond at the drug stores of Clem Thistlethwaite.Adv. j

Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Corrects Condition That - Seemed Hopeless

After suffering from chronic constipation until she was so run down she was unable to do any kind of work. Miss H. A. Frees, 209 Adams St, Dayton, Ohio, obtained a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and used it with such gratifying results that she continued the treatment and has written to Dr. Caldwell that her condition is again normal, and that she wants to recommend Syrup Pepsin to everyone who suffers with constipation. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsia is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, gentle in its action and free from griping or other pain or discomfort. It contains no opiate or narcotic drug, and, while acting readily on the most stubborn case of inactive bowels, is absolutely safe for the tiniest babe, so that it is the ideal family laxative and should be kept on hand in every household for use when reeded.
