THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM

AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, aa Second Class Mail Matter.

Taxing the Corporations Local manufacturers are fighting a revenue bill pending in Congress, which would place the whole burden of the preparedness program on the corporations of the nation. Under its provisions, a tax of 8 per cent per annum would be placed on all corporations whose net earnings exceed $5,000. '. John M. Lontz and his fellow manufacturers here are right in asserting that the land owners of the nation are just as vitally in need of military and naval protection as are the manufacturers and financiers. There is no reason why Congress should place the full burden on one class of citizens and exempt another. Every man, woman and child in this country needs protection against foreign invasion, and every citizen must be willing to help bear the burden. Dry Indiana Indiana has-been declared a dry state by statutory legislation. It has joined the large number of commonwealths that have barred liquor. The

Legislature has removed from Indiana politics a question that for many years has been a disturbing element and frequently has impeded wholesome legislation. It. will not be long before the whole nation has become dry. State-wide legislation against liquor is to be preferred to the old condition which permitted both wets and drys to call local, option. elections which disturbed the serenity and even tenor of a community's affairs. This form of agitation has disappeared. The will of the people of Indiana, as represented by their

legislators, has declared for ? prohibition. The question is now a dead issue in his state. The Art Exhibit The twentieth annual exhibition of paintings by Indiana artists opened at the public art gallery last night. One can hardly realize that the Richmond Art association has' had twenty years of successful history. The good work that the associruion has done is to be seen in the general appreciation for art noticeable in Richmond. This is something intangible and something that we cannot measure. Perhaps the full effects of the pioneer work of the association will not be fully appreciated until another twenty years have roiled by. The public is invited to the exhibit. The display of pictures merits the attention of the citizens..

The Menace of Japan Japanese manufacturers are sending into this country about $600,000 "worth of goods every day. The importation of this amount of manufactured stuff means that just so much less will be made here by American workers. Japanese labor is in

finitely cheaper than American labor. The aver

age wage for weaving and spinning cotton

Japan is 30 cents a day. The average wage for

this kind of work in the United States is $2.10 a

day. This comparison holds true in other indus

tries. The average wage in the United States is about six times higher than that of Japan. The United States has to face Japanese competition in industry and Japanese desire to annex the insular possessions in diplomacy. Both are problems of more moment than the average American believes they are. We have no assurance that Japan will keep her hands off our possessions in the Pacific. She has shown very conclusively that she means to protect her citizenship in the Pacific coast states against laws that are objectionable to the Mikado. Her importations into the United States indicate her strength as a commercial rival.

BOARD EXPRESSES SATISFACTION OVER MELPOLDER'S EFFORTS

The Gold of the Gods Dy Arillur D IVeeVe Craig Kennedy, Scientific Detective)

Reluctantly, Searchlight let go.One could Bee that with all her canine instinct she wanted to "get" that man. Her Jaws were open, as, with longing eyes, she stood oyer the prostata form In the grass. The whistle was a signal, and she had been taught to obey unquestlonlngly. . 'Don't move until we get you, or you are a dead man," shouted Kennedy, pulling an automatic as he ran. "Are you hurt" There was no answer, but, as we approached, the man moved, ever so little, through curiosity to see his pursuers. . Searchlight shot forward. Again the whistle sounded and she dropped back. Wo bent over to seize him, as Kennedy secured the dog. "She's a devil," ground out the prone figure on the grass. "Lockwood!" exclaimed Kennedy. THE GOLD OF THE .GODS "What are you doing here?" demanded Craig, astonished. "I couldn't wait for you to get back. I thought I'd do a little detective work on my own account. I kept getting further and further away, knew you'd find me, anyway. But I didn't think you'd have a brute like that," he added, binding up his hand ruefully. "Is there any trace of Inez?" "Not yet. Why did you pick out this house?" asked Kennedy, still suspicious. "I caw a light here, I thought," answered Lockwood frankly. "But as I approached, it went out. Maybe I Imagined it" "Let U3 see." Kennedy spoke a few words to the man with the dog. He slipped the leash, with a word that we did not oaten, and the dog bounded off, around the house, as she was accustomed to do when out on duty with an officer In the city suburbs, circling about the backs of houses as the man on the beat walked the street. She made noise enough about it, too, tumbling over a tin pail that had been standing on the back porch steps. "Bang!" Some one was in the house and was armed. In the darkness he had not been able to tell whether an attack was being made or not, but had taken no chances. At any rate, now we knew that he was desperate. I thought of all the methods Kennedy had adopted to get into houses in which the inmates were desperate.

But always they had been about the city where he could call upon the seemingly exhaustless store of apparatus in his laboratory. Here we were faced by the proposition with nothing to rely on but our native wit and a couple of guns. Besides, I did not know -whether to count on Lockwood as an ally or not. My estimation of him had been rising and falling like the barometer in a summer shower. I had been convinced that he was against us. But his manner and plausibility now equally convinced uie that I had been mistaken. 1 felt that it would take some supreme action on his part to settle the question. Trial crisis was coming now. I think all of us would willingly have pushed Alfonso forward. Rut the relations of the de Moches with Whitney had been so close that I no more trusted him than I did Lockwood. And if I could not make out Lockwood, a man at least of our own race and education, how could I expect to fathom Alfonso? It seemed, then, to rest with Kennedy and myself. At least so Craig appraised the situation. "You have a gun, Walter," he directed, "Lockwood, give yours to Jameson. Lockwood hesitated. Could he trust being unarmed, while Kennedy and I had all the weapons?" Craig had not stopped to ask Alfonso. As he laid out the attack he merely tapped the young man's pockets to see whether he was armed or not, and finding nothing faced us again, Lockwood still hesitating. "I want Walter," explained Craig, "to er around hack nf the hnnsp it

Is there they must be expecting an attack. He can take up his position behind that oak. It will be safe enough. By firing one gun on each side of the tree he can make enough noise for half a dozen. Then you and

J I can ni3h the front of the house."

Lockwood had nothing better to suggest. Reluctantly he handed over his revolver. I dropped back from them and skirted the house at a safe distance so as not' to be seen, then came up back of the tree.

Carefully I aimed at the glass of a window on the first floor, as offering the greatest opportunity for making a racket, which was the object I had in mind. To be continued'

The Social Service bureau at a called session yesterday afternoon issued the following statement: "To the Contributors and the Public: "Some three years ago the Social Service Bureau was organized upon the recommendation of the Commercial club and business men. of Richmand who felt' that charity was not being properly administered in our community. . " "The Social Service Bureau is a purely private organization supported by voluntary contributions from individuals and corporations. "It is managed by the board of twelve members elected by the contributors and appointed by certain organizations. The object of the bureau is to render all the assistance possible in solving the social problems of cur city. We desire to co-operate to the fullest extent with all citizens, organ

izations and officials in accomplishing this end. We desire to administer releief work in such a manner as to do permanent good for those receiving help, and also to satisfy the individual or business man who gives, that his contribution to charity, has been wisely and properly expended. - The bureau has received the loyal support of its contributors and the public with few exceptions. "It is trying to stop miscellaneous solicitation for charity.. It has greatly reduced duplication of relief. It is trying to administer relief in such a manner as to do away with the need of relief. The bureau is interested in every form of social service. The members of the board are giving freely of their time and effort in the desire to better the life and opportunity to live, of every citizen in the city. "To do this work it has been necessary to employ a trained secretary to devote his time to this important work. The secretary works under the direction and supervision of the board. "We know, from being in close touch with Mr. Melpolder, that his task has not been an easy one, and we do not insist that either Mr. Melpolder, as

True Secret of Keeping Youthful Looking

The Beantv RooLor

"The real secret of keeping young-looking nd beautiful," Bays a well-known hypenist, 'i;to keep the liver and bowels normally vctire. Without these requisites, poisonous waste products remain in the system, polluting the blood and lodging; in various organs, tissues, joints. One becomes flabby, obese, nervous, mentally sluggish, dull-eyed, wrinkled and sallow of face. "But to get liver nd bowels working as thexought, without producing evil after-effects has been the problem. Fortunately, there is a prescription of unquestioned merit, which may now be had in convenient tablet form. Its value is due largely to an ingredient dorived from the humble May apple, or its Tootv which has been called 'vegetable calomel' because of its effectiveness though, of course, it is not to be classed with the real calomel o' mercurial origin. There is no habit-forming constituent in 'sentanel ' tablets that's the name and their use is not followed by weakness or, exhaustion. On the contrary, these harmless vegetable tablets tend to impart tono and elasticity to the relaxed intestinal wall. Sentanel tablets, which may be procured from any druggist a dime's worth will do will Erove a revelation to any constipated, liver oubled person."
