THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM
Published Every Evening Except Sunday, by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building. North Ninth and Sailor Sts. R. G. Leeds, Editor. E. H. Harris, Mgr.
Entered at the Pott Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second Class Mail Matter. On What War Hinges Some have thought war hinged on the next sinking of an American boat. These have been mistaken. The American steamer Housatonic, England bound with contraband, was sunk Saturday, but no war follows. This is in perfect accord with President Wilson's policy of referring "all settlement of damage or loss to American property due to the war until the war is ended. Then he expects the Americans who have suffered losses to be reimbursed through legal means. ' . - ' ' Germany can interfere all she is able to with our commerce because that is what we have been permitting England to do. England has confiscated American cargoes bound to neutral ports and Germany may sink American vessels bound td foreign ports, provided,' that she takes no American lives in the process. That is President Wilson's fighting point and as long as Germany does not reach it there will be no war.
This dangerous situation, of course, goes back to the beginning of the war when President Wilson decreed that Americans should have the right to travel on their own or on belligerent vessels to any port without danger to life, A great many Americans disagreed with the president and held that Americans should not travel on belligerent boats, many of which carried ammunition, and thus needlessly, and foolishly expose their fellow citizens to the dangers of war. President Wilson, however, saw the problem in a different light and now as a result of his policy the country, as Secretary . Lansing somewhat cryptically stated a month ago, stands on the verge of war. One mistake on the part of a German submarine commander and President Wilson's policy automatically throws the United States into the European holocaust, and American lives will be spent and American .wealth and living will be taxed to compel Germany to adopt the president's conception of the rules that should govern submarine warfare.
ing the board, but recent developments seem to indicate that White's word is final with that body. It will be remembered that the board had no statement to make while Fred White was out of the city. Shortly after his return, a luncheon was held at the Y. M. C. A., and then White issued the endorsement of Melpolder. Naturally every one is wondering whether the board had to wait until White returned before it could issue a statement. Is it possible that White's advice and opinion had to be asked before the board felt free to make a statement? Can it be that the board pays very little attention to the work of the bureau, relying on White's judgment for guidance, and accepting his conclusions without reserve or doubt? Until the statement was issued, no one believed that White was the big man, the controlling factor, the deciding element in the board. Everyone believed that he merely attended the meetings of the board, and that some of the men who are prominent in the affairs of the city were the ones who dictated its policy and advised Melpolder. Evidently this was a mistaken notion. Fred White looms' up now as the real man behind Melpolder's throne of. charity. It may be that members of the board are not apprised of the actual hostility of the community toward Melpolder. Perhaps some of them do not know that Melpolder is descredited and that the Social Service Bureau is being forced into a position where it will have no defense. Some of the members of the board, we believe, do not know the real situation. They have taken the explanation of Fred White as a complete and absolutely true statement of the situation and have not, on their own accord, made inquiry to find out whether White's statements may not be prejudiced by his intimate relations with Melpolder.
Who Controls Melpolder's Board? . The unqualified endorsement of Melpolder and his work by the board that has control over the function and finances of the Central Charity Bureau challenges inquiry. The whole community is interested in knowing who is the dominating factor. Citizens are wondering about the why and wherefore of the laudatory statement issued by the board. No one hitherto gave serious attention to the report that Fred White was the man who controlled the actions of the men and women constitut-
The Creed of Safety Workers and employers are fighting accidents in factories and business houses. Every man injured entails loss to himself and family and to the concern that employs him. Appended is a "Safety First Creed" that has been compiled by an insurance company : "I BELIEVE IN SAFETY FIRST because the loss of my ability to labor means suffering for those I love most on earth; it leaves to the mercies of a more or less indifferent world those whom every workman desires most of all to protect. "I BELIEVE IN SAFETY FIRST because it
tends to conserve my ability to labor and that ability is my sole capital; losing it, I am bankrupt. "I BELIEVE IN SAFETY FIRST because my sai'ety means the safety of my fellow-workmen. In risking myself I risk others. .. i "I -BELIEVE IN SAFETY FIRST because the bread I earn with my own hands is sweeter to me and mine a thousand times than charity in any form." Familiarity with danger breeds contempt. Many accidents can be traced to carelessness. Safety First means a constant fight by workmen and employers against danger in all forms.

A WOMAN'S VOCATION
; One of our modern writers has said, ; "A woman is as efficient in business as a man when she Is." The reason why sometimes she is ' not to efficient is that bar health may
fail. But the wise business woman I ' knows now what to do when attacked I bv the ailments peculiar to the socalled "weaker sex." That greatest I ' of all remedies for woman's ills, Lydia T BlVhawi'tf a4AtVkla rVtTMnAlinjf
has been freeing women from such ailments for forty, years. Try it, it you suffer from such an ailment, and m insure your competency and efficiency ' in the business world.
Editor Palladium Hearty congratulations on your editorial showing how clearly the European war is not our war in any respect and with no principle. England is receiving the fruits of landgrabbing and domineering disposition for the forcing of opium upon China, upholding and protecting Turkey three times from being brought to time by Russia and has fostered Turkey with big loans and given moral support to Turkey claughtering millions of true Christian martyrs. England robbed the Boers of their home country twice as she tried to do us the Boers moved back and settled new territory, then England robbed them at terrible cost to the common and poor people to enrich Rhodes and Alfred Beit with diamond and gold mines. Russia is receiving the results of enmity una
oppression plus putting trade, land and money. Germany is very ambitious and this aim as national star of destiny and so there is bound to be conflict. Germany and France lead in infidelity and Russia, Austria, Italy are with them. Europe has been worshipping guns, warships, armies and generals. We thank God if He shall count us worthy to escape this

Don't Let Soap Spoil Your Hair
When you wash your hair, be careful what you use. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali, which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair brittle. The best thing to use is just plain mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and beats the most expensive soaps or anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months. Simply moisten the hair with water and nib it in, about a teaspoonful is ail that is required. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, cleanses thoroughly, and rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking, bright, Huffy, . wavy and easy to handle. Besides, it loosens and takes out every particle of dust, dirt and dandruff. Adv.

The Gold of the Gods
By Arthur B. Reeve
(A Mystery of the Incaa Solved by Craig Kennedy, Scientific Detective)
"The point is." cut In Craig, interrupting, "who was the mysterious visitor to Mendoza the night of his murder?" He paused. No one seemed to be disposed to answer and he went on: "Who else than the man who sought to sell the secret on its blade, in return for Ines for whom he had a secret passion? I have reasoned it all out the offer, the quarrel, the stabbing with the dagger itself, and the escape down the stairs, instead of by the elevator." "And I," put in Lockwood,. "coining to report to Mendoza my failure to find the dagger, found him dead and at once was suspected of being the murderer! " Inez had revived and her quick ears had caught her lover's voice and the last words. Weak as she was, she sprang up and fairly ran into the next room. "NoChester No!" she cried. "I never suspected not even when I saw the shoe-prints. . No that is the man, there I know it I know it!" I hurried after her, as she flung herself again between Lockwood and the rest of us, as if to shield him, while Lockwood proudly caressed the stray locks of dark hair that fluttered on his shoulder. I looked in the direction all were looking. Befor us stood, unmasked at last, the scientific villain who had been plotting and scheming to capture both the secret and Inez well knowing that suspicion would rest either on Lockwood, the soldier of fortune, or on the jealous Indian woman whose son had been rejected and whose brother he had himself already, secretly driven to an insane suicide in his unscrupulous search for the treasure of Truxillo. It was Professor Norton, himself first thief of the dagger which later he had hidden but which Whitney's detectives had stolen in turn from him; writer of anonymous letters, even himself to throw others off the trail; maker of stramonium cigaretts with which to confuse the minds ofhis opponents, Whitney, Mendoza, and the rest; secret lover of Inez whom he demanded as the price of the dagger; and murderer of Don Luis. Senora de Moche and Alfonso, behind me, could only gasp their astonishment. Much as she would have liked to have the affair end in a general vindication of the curse she could not control a single, triumphant thrust. "His blood," she cried, transfixing Norton with her stern eyes, "has cried out of Titicacc for vengeance from that day to this!" "Want any help?" We all turned toward the door as Burke, dust-covered and tired, stamped in, followed by a man whose face was bandaged and bloody. , m "I heard shots. Is it all over?? But we paid no attention to Burke. There was Whitney, considerably banged up by the fall, but lucky to be alive. "I tried to shake him," he explained, catching sight of Norton. "But he stuck to us, even on our detours. Finally he grew desperate forced my car off the road. What happened after that, I don't know. He must have
carried me some miles, insensible and dumped me In the bushes again. I was several miles up the hill, tramping along, looking for a road-house, when this gentleman found me and said I had gone too far." Senora de Moche turned from Lockwood and Inez who were standing, oblivious to the rest of us, and stared at Whitney's bruised and battered face. "It is the curse," she muttered. "It will never " "Just a moment," Interrupted Craig, drawing the dagger from his pocket, and" turning toward Inez, "It was to your ancestor that the original possessor of the secret promised to give the 'big fish,' when he was killed." He paused and handed the dagger to her. She touched it shuddering, but as though It were a duty. "Take it," he said simply. "The secret Is yours. Only love can destroy the curse on the Gold of the Gods." ,:y The end ,

Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 6. Mrs. G. W. Fisher, wife of the agent for the Pennsylvania Railroad company at Whiteland, Ind., near Indianapolis, says Tanlac, the Master Medicine, has made her feel like a new person. "For a long time I have suffered from stomach trouble and my kidneys and liver have been out of order," Mrs. Fisher said on April 28. "My appetite was very poor and the;little food I did eat caused a burning'pain to come in my stomach. My food was never, digested properly. My kidneys were's'o out of order that severe pains came in my back almost constantly. I was very nervous. I never seemed to get the proper amount of rest and just felt tired and worn out all the time. "I read in the newspapers of the work of Tanlac in the cases of others and it also was so highly recommended to me by friends that I decided to try it. My appetite has improved wonderfully since taking Tanlao and I'm
never bothered with bad effects after eating now. My kidneys also are in much better condition now, the pains in my back having disappeared. I'm not so nervous now. I rest properly and never experience the tired, draggy feeling that formerly bothered rae. Yes, to say the least. I feel like a new
! person all over since taking one bottle
of Tanlac. "Tanlac has done such good work in my case -that I have recommended it to several of ray friends who are now taking it. I now want to reconimeud Tanlac to the public." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is especially beneficial for stomach, liver 8nd kidney trouble, catarrhal complaints, nervousness, loss of appetite and the like and is a fine tonic and a general system purifier.
