CAPT. THOMAS ASKS FOR SUPPORT OF COMPULSORY MILITARY SERVICE

A6klng r.ichmond for tbelr active rupport of the Chamberlain compuleory military service bill, Just Introduced in the United States senate, Captain Mark Thomas of the army recerve corps of officers, Is spending today and tomorrow in this city He hopes to arrange for a public meeting to be held some time tomorlow at which be will explain the country's rrt.it need of adequate preparedness for national defense. Captain Thomas said: "I cell upon those patriotic citizens of Richmond and vicinity who recognize the country's imminent danger to osslst us in the work of preparing for defense by writing Immediately to their congressmen and the senators from this state urging the adoption of che Chamberlain bill for universal military training. There is no logical nor practical reason of weight existing v.hv the citizens of this nation, who share alike In its protection, ihould not equally share in preparation for its defense. I have no criticism of those whose religious scruples proscribe against the bearing of arms tut even such in the hour of distress must contribute their mite in sustaining the nation by other methods. Facts Will Bring Action "When the good people of Wayne county arouse to the realities of the situation, and when they are confronted with the facts now existing, I am sure they will take their turn at the helm along with the patriots of similar communities in the great Hoosier state. The die is cast. The hour of disaster is at hand, unless immediate action is taken. Deeds must be per-

formed and not merely lingual approval given. Giving due consideration to the rights of our neighbors, we must not, at this vital moment, be dissuaded or hampered in our purposes by reason of any fears we may hold of the criticism of our enigbbors or the possibility of bruising their fensibilities. Calls for Strong Men "Lincoln and Morton were surrouuded and hounded on every side by critics of the most rabid type, until at times these good men really feared that their opponents were in the majority. But this did not deter them from fullest prosecution of their purpose, and in the light of later events we recognize the rightfulness and correctness of their program. "The call today is for action action action! The country must have at once in every community many men of the Lincoln and Morton type. Without them we are irrevocably lost for ell time. Men of Richmond, learn the truth, and hearing it, with the fear of no man and the love of God in your hearts, assume your burden no matter how painful it may be to do so."

SENATE KILLS WEIGHT BILLS HOUSE PASSED

(By Associated Press) INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. -lS.Af-ter protracted debate, the Senate this morning killed House bill 168, said to have been intended as an attack on the high cost of living. The bill was to require the sale of all foodstuffs and commodities by weight rather than by measure. The bill passed the House by a substantial majority but,' objection was raised to it in the Senate because of the alleged inconvenience it would impose on farmers and original producers. An attempt to amend it to meet this objection failed and on roll call the vote was 20 ayes, 20 noes. Speaking in support of the bill Senator McKinley said the reports of the ttate food and drug department which it was added favored the measure, showed that of 119,804 measures examined In the state last year, 30.9 per cent, were not up to the standard and fraudulent in some particulars. Would Extend Scope The Meyers House bill to extend the scope of mutual Insurance companies to include automobiles, gasoline engines, tractors and other implements that have come into use since 1881, the date of the original insurance act, was passed by the Senate by unani-

; mous vote.

The Senate received eleven new bills, the more important of which follows: Bird To make municipalities liable for stream polition by sewage after July 1, 1918. . Chambers Providing for the publication of legal notices in independent newspapers where there are no partisan papers and requiring that legal publications shall circulate to at least ten per cent, of the county's population; repealing the three mile gravel road law. Lanz Creating an independent department of insurance and abolishing this feature of the state auditors work providing a salary of $5,000 for commissioner, deputy at $3,000, actuary at $4,000 per year, and appropriating S30.000.

ED6ERT0N ISSUES SECOND STATEMENT ON RESIGNATION

Township Trustee Edgerton, who resigned from the Social Service Bureau board last week, wishes to state his position in the matter through the Palladium. His statement follows: "I have not wished to enter into any controversy as to my resignation from the Charity Bureau, but as there has been so many conflicting reports as to my sincerity in the matter that it is necessary to offer something in evidence of the necessity of a resignation, without desiring to antagonize any one, for we are all working for the same end in the line of work for betterment of mankind. "In my endeavor to avoid publicity on this subject by refusing to offer any comment I find myself In very embarrassing position as the public might think I am taking two sides, and will say that no one instructed

me to, nor prepared my resignation j for the press, except myself, and 1 1 prepared a copy to each paper for pub-1 lication, asking that no comment bej niad, but as the Palladium saw fit to j make some comments I have not seen (

fit to offer any denial of what was stated, and no one has authority to give out anything to the contrary, though some one has,: evidently misinterpreted my attitude.

I believe that my statement at the

I realize that to accomplish the best results, all should work in peace and harmony if we shall hasten the day when poverty 6hajl exist only In word, and to this end our greatest debt is the debt of charity. "With malice toward none," I submit this for your earnest consideration. J, O. EDGERTON, Township trustee.
