Think About This

Never hit if possible to avoid it, but never hit soft. Theodore Roosevelt.

Grant Mr. Roosevelt's Request Here is a concise summary of the universal military service legislation pending in Congress. Frequent requests have been made for. information on the scope and extent of the measures. Read the appended editorial utterance of the New York American and you will obtain an insight into the bill: ' The House contention that men bet-wen the ages of twenty-one and forty should be called to the colors brings an unnecessarily large number of men to the registering officers and to the medical examiners. At least six million more men than are at all necessary would be called upon by the House bill to submit to registration and to selection for service or exemption from service, and the total amount of labor lost by this unnecessary operation would be a serious loss Indeed, at this time, when every hour of every worker's time Is so badly needed. The effect would be as Injurious as a strike of many thousands of workmen. - The unnecessarily large registration would also delay the final process of selection, for . the registration would have to precede the draft; and the registration of 10.000,000 men must take a great deal more time than the registration of 5,000,000. - The net results of adopting the age limits set by the House would be delay, loss of workers' time, the employment of more registering and drafting officers all to obtain, in the end, exactly the same number of conscripts as the Senate would obtain. If we are to save the allies from defeat, we certainly nave no time to waste, and If we are going to be half-way prepared to keep ourselves reasonably safe, we have no labor to waste. v All the arguments of common sense are in favor of the age limits set by the Senate bill. .' As to letting Mr. Roosevelt go .to France . with a volunteer force, we can only repeat what Mr. Hearst has said, that those who want to volunteer for foreign service ought to be permitted to do so as fast as they flrant to. and in as large numbers as they want to. , ' Judging from the very small number of generals who have been killed in three years of warfare, the country will be In little danger of losing Mr. Roosevelt's valuable ' life, and if he is rather inadequate in military training or experience, still, he would add a touch of picturesqueness to the tout ensemble of the war which It has so far sadly lacked. And furthermore, the. censorship would have a hard time holding down the bunch of American correspondents who would doubtless accompany the Colonel. j '' To be plain about it, the Colonel wants. to fight and a number of Americans want to fight along with him, and as our business Just now is to fight Germany,' we can see no reason why the Colonel and his men ought not to be equipped and sent abroad as soon as possible and good luck go with them.

Mr.. Hearst remarks that the limitation of the uni-1

versa! service obligation to the actual war . period is a mistake. We think it is not going to far to call that proposal a crime. i ' This may be only a short and vastly expensive war for us, or it may be .a long and bloody, as well as costly, war; but if one result is to thoroughly rouse the nation to preparation against any future war so" extensive and o formidable that nobody will dare to make us go to war again, then 'the price will not have ben paid in vain. We shall then have bought something with our blood and treasure. But if we are to sing back Into the dangerous folly of un preparedness after the war is over, then it would have been a million .times better had we stayed out of the war, for we shall have lost so much and gained nothing, no matter how the war. goes. We do not suppose that any thinking persons really take this sentimental nonsense about the European nations crusading in the holy cause of this or that seriously; because this is purely a business war; so far as the European governments are concerned, and any one who doubts that should read over again the allies statement of their aims, issued last winter. The . other powers mean to get as much territory, cash and trade as they can when they sit down around the bargain table, and it is our business to assure the guaranteed freedom of the seas to neutrals, in time of wart inviolability of mails; freedom of cable communi

cation and trade between neutrals; the opening of the Dardanelles to all commerce; the guaranteed Independence of China and the open trade door; the recognized right' to exempt our own shipping from Panama Canal tolls; the abolition of naval bases maintained by any European or Asiatic Power with the - plain purpose of being used against the United States In case of war; and the European and Asiatic recognition of the United States' paramount rights on this continent. These objects are not sentimental generalities, but they are practical advantages for our own country as well as for the whole world. It Is our duty to our people who are deciding for war and to other peaceful nations which had no part in precipitating it. to see that some broad benefits are secured for others than those who greedily and bloodily caused this world cataclysm. ', It is too absurd to expect that all our billions of cash and aU our expenditures of life are to be compensated with a Reward of Merit card, engraved with the allies' blessing upon unselfish Samuel's bead. If we should demand respect for the rights of America and other peaceful nations at the end of this war, we should be able to compel respect for the rights of our own nation and of other nations which then and thereafter desire to remain peaceful and neutral. . Preparedness would nave kept us out of this war, and preparedness will keep us out of other wars, and whoever imagines that wars will cease with this war is a very foolish person Indeed. History need only to repeat itself as It always has done, to see us some day at war with our present allies. . . Within a lifetime, England and France and Turkey have waged allied war upon Russia; Germany and 'Austria have fought a decisive war; Russia and Japan have waged war; England and France have come within an ace of war; England has harassed and injured us and forced an apology from President Lincoln by a threat of war and by landing troops In Canada; we have made England back down in Venezula by threatening war; and England has instigated Prussia to make another war upon France and actually insisted that the treaty guaranteeing the neutrality of Belgium was obsolete and void and that the English Government was, therefore, not bound to interfere in case Prussian troops, as a military necessity, should march through Belgium to attack France. And this instigation of Prussia to attack and definition and limitation of the treaty with Belgium and complete reversal of England's present position occurred within the short space of thirty years. ' Therefore, it is evident enough to those who think with their brans instead of with their emotional apparatus, that there will be wars after this war; that we will be engaged in some of those wars unless we are too strong to be attacked. It is evident, too, that if we should be engaged in one of those wars we are as apt to fight against our present allies as against our present enemy. IN ANY CASE, the only prudent and' sensible thing to do is to maintain universal military training and a powerful preparedness for any war that may threaten or may come to us in the future. ,

THOUGHTS TO THINK . .- ABOUT , . Man's selfishness compels the world to repel him; he who; tries to reign supreme, is' seldom given full rein to act as be pleases. Man speaks bis part, and gets his hold on men when he is not crooked, cross nor cold to them. A prayer: the sins I see, confess I to Thee; the sins of omission and commission, take thou. Father, from me; take away sorrow and may I no trouble borrow, that I may be free. .

Of course it would not do to begin to serve whole wheat bread, while the French commission is here. We've been expecting It all the time. . Now the coal dealers are blaming the panlky consumer for the high prices. ' Let 'em have their inning. Our Uncle Samuel is. coming to bat pretty soon, and our Uncle is some slugger, too ' '

; A local sport writer saw 3,200 fans at the Central League opening , yesterday. The gate record showed 759. Please don't draw any conclusions as to the previous conduct of this sport observer as he is not that kind of a man. A woman called our office this morning and said: "Is this trouble?" We said yes and asked what kind she wanted and now she thinks we were kidding her. There are some men whose Idea of patriotism is to try to drink the couptry dry before Congress has a chance to enact prohibitory legislation. Judging from Mr. Ackerman's article. Germany's morals must stand right along side those of the ancient Romans back in the days before-civilization and Christianity became popular in the world. Missionary societies might consider the Kaiser's empire as a future field for activity at the close of the war. - " i ii PALLADIUM WANT ADS PAY

Sign Your Name to Articles If you are ashamed to sign your name to an article that -you send to the Palladium for publication, please save yourself the trouble of writing and mailing your communication. Unsigned communications are given short shrift. They are thrown into the waste paper basket. If you believe that your views are worth while presenting to the public, you ought not to be ashamed of acknowledging their parentage. A person seldom refuses to sign his name out of a sense of modesty; usually it is done to avoid being known. The writer fears to be responsible

for what he says. He is a coward and wants to; hide behind anonymity while he berates or lain-! basts a person or a cause. Because newspapers!

have to contend against this pest, they insist that persons who wish to use their columns sign their names. : ' ' : ' ..' Usually manuscripts galore pour into the office during the periods of intense excitement. Conscription and the volunteer system have been burning questions in this community for a month. A-number of articles by persons upholding the volunteer plan were thrown away because they were signed Quaker, Citizen, Taxpayer. If you do want your name to accompany your article, write a note to the editor giving your name and requesting that it be withheld and a fictitious one be used. The editor can then satisfy himself as to your good faith. Remember that all articles without bona fide names, or without a note giving the name and requesting that it be withheld, will be thrown away.

Takes the Alarm Clock to Waken E. W. Minard Now But He Slept Only Five Hours a Night Before Nerv-Worth Came to the Rescue.

Mansfield is one of the Ohio cities where Nerv-Worth was recently demonstrated and sales of the remedy have been quickly followed-by the inevitable written and signed endorsements. Here is one of that kind, given by E. W. Minard, a well-known far er of Belleville, near Mansfield: "I want to say something about Nerv-Worth. I have had trouble 1 In getting my ' rest at night Could not sleep. Would get about four or' tvo hours sleep. Tired in the morning when I'd get up. Nervousness, which caused weakness and pains about my heart. Poor appetite, no ambition. I hve taken about one bottle of NervWorth. Things are much better with me now. -1 sleep. Appetite good. Rested in the morning. SLEEP TILL THE ALARM CLOCK GOES OFF ABOUT 8 HOURS. I'm better in every way. I recommend Nerv-Worth" to anybody. E. W. MINARD."

GOOD BLOOD Given good, clean, healthy blood. Nature will do the rest with any case of catarrh,' Inflammatory rheumatism, scrofula, eczema. . erysipelas, boils, pimples, or skin diseases of any kind. Good blood invariably means vigorous appetite, good digestion and strength. Thus It stands to reason that an effective "alterative" or blood purifier, while It will not cure all diseases, will help in fighting any disease, and will relieve those mentioned above, all of which comes from bad blood. Forty yenrn ago Dr. A. B. Simpson of Richmond Ind., was known as one of the most successful physicians In three states. His success was founded almost ' exclusively on one prescription, the most powerful blcod purifier ever known. This prescription is regularly put up as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound. It has been used extensively all over the country, and in forty years has never failed to do good. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is harmless as It Is effective. It is sold at $1 per bottle at all drug stores. Adv.

Expectant Mothers Relieved of Pain.

Women Use Prescription f Famous Physician.

Sines the days of our first parents in the Garden of Eden, women have borne the pain and discomfort of childbirth. Science on its part, has. worked, to modify and to . relieve ia part,, the dreadful suffering at such a time. The preparation known as "Mother's FriendV' is applied by the mother-to-be herself, externally, night and morning. It relieves the tension on the muscles, cords and ligaments of the abdomen, and the expectant mother is made much more comfortable. The crisis is one of much less pain and danger. Thousands of women who have used it successfully state that they cannot say enough about the good "Mother's Friend' did for them and refer particularly to the absence of nausea or morning sickness. Ask your husband to get you a bottle from the drug store. If you wish a valuable book for mothers, write the Bradfield Regulator Company, Dept. F, 205 Atlanta. Ga.

The j double-service tooth paste, x

keeps teeth clean AND GUMS HEALTHY.

Keeping the gams healthy and the mouth sweet is very important to health ; more teeth are lost through the loosening of the tissue that holds the teeth In place than from decay. Dental science to-day demands that a tooth paste must keep the gums healthy as well as clean the teeth.. Senreco was formulated to meet this requirement. Hundreds of dentists are prescribing and using Senreco because they have found that it does measure up to that standard. SENRECO IS A WONDERFUL CLEANSER. In addition to its remedial properties Senreco is a wonderful cleanser: acts directly on the mucin film, the basis of tartar; leaves the mouth cool and clean-feeling. As some one has expressed it Senreco gives one a new idee on mouth cleanliness. ; ' .
