THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published Every Evening Except Sunday, by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building. North Ninth and Sailor Streets. H. G. Leeds, Editor. E. H. Harris, Mgr. Entered at the Peat OKiee at Richmond. Indiana, as Seeond Class Mail Matter.

"Only free people can hold their purpose and their honor steady to a common end and prefer the interests of mankind to any narrow interest of their own." President Wilson.

From the Liberty Loan Committee America is at war to prevent a powerful and unscrupulous empire from winning the mastery of the western world. Together with Britain, France, Italy, Canada, Pan-America, the United States depends for its political safety and its civilized development upon the security of the Atlantic highways. That security is now gravely threatened by the German Empire armed with a new and deadly weapon. If the submarine suc

ceeds, the German Empire is not only supreme in Europe, but an imminent peril to every na

tion that touches upon the Atlantic. It would

compel every nation to live in the fear of militar

ism, and the caste which dominates the German Empire today would call the tune for all mankind. This is the specific threat which has forced the United States into the contest and which has united its national interests with those of the liberal powers of Europe. The threat could not be overcome unless Great Britain obtained the support of the American naval and mercantile fleet and American industrial and military resources. Thus we are fighting in part to prevent a Germany actuated by aggressive motives and armed with such a weapon as the submarine from winning the war, and in part to enable the United States to participate in a treaty of peace which subsequently may become the basis of an enduring and equitable international order.

The Red Cross Society If some of the biggest men in the United States are willing to neglect their own business to further the cause of the Red Cross Society, it is a patent proof that the organization is fulfill-' ing a mission of transcendent importance. F. S. Bates of the city, considered the war council of the Red Cross Society of sufficient importance to impell him tovattend its sessions. A number of professional and business men of Richmond are giving part of their time and considerable money to promote the work here. Attentibn is called to these incidents to emphasize the importance of the functions of the Red Cross Society. All of us cannot enlist, all of us cannot buy Liberty bonds, but all of us can give a little money and a little time to the Red Cross Society. The task before the Society is a great one. Few of us who are members of the laity can understand the tremendously large amount of supplies that are needed by military hospitals. We are fully aware of the horrible execution wrought by modern guns and high explosives. We lack knowledge of the amount of dressings and hospital supplies required for bandages and other purposes in the hospitals where the unfortunate wounded men are taken. If we could fully understand and appreciate this factor we would see that the preparation of hospital supplies is one of the great tasks confronting American women today. . A word regarding the organization and administration of the Red Cross Society might be mentioned in passing. The Red Cross Society -has been organized so long that it is able to do its work with a minimum overhead charge. It knows how to handle calamities. It knows how to go about relief work on the battlefields. It is efficiently organized for just the work it sets out to do. For that reason, you can rest assured that the contributions you make will not be wasted but will really go for the purpose for which it is intended. Do your bit now for the Red Cross.

Mr. Editor: Permit me to commend your "Free Speech and Press" editorial on the C5th inst. While not agreeing that "we are now at war because of Prussian Junkers or German satraps," and while thinking we should be more deeply- concerned because. of a reactionary plutocracy, than an external thing, nevertheless one precious jewel was given us at the price of seven long years Of untold suffering, tears and blood by our revolutionary fathers, who thought death more to be desired than tyranny, and that was the right to speak our minds and publish our thoughts. No plea of temporary expediency should for a moment be tolerated In view of the price we paid, and loss we would sustain by surrendering this vital principle. During the confusion and tumult of war they may enact laws that will loose a hoard of venal spies in our midst, veritable snakes in the grass, to trail the steps of men and women who never committed a crime in their lives and never will; they may muzzle our mouths and throttle the press, but as you say, "they will defeat their own purpose" and running counter to one of the most cherished of American traditions be ultimately confronted by a righteously indignant public that in justice to Itself should neither forgive nor forget. Yours truly. F. FRENCH.

Knightstown, Indiana, May 28, 1917. Editor, The Palladium, Richmond, Indiana. Dear Sir Interest in the congressional election in the Sixth Indiana district leads me to propose to the people of the district, through your paper and others, what, at this time, would be a splendid test of public sentiment. The first impression given out by the papers of the Sixth district was that there would be no party contest but that a non-partisan candidate would be selected to run without opposition. Irrespective of this and without any desire to place an interdiction upon any party that may wish to place a candidate In the field, there la. in the Judgment of many, an excellent opportunity for an eligible candidate to make the race for con

gress upon a platform of three planks such as the following: First Vigorous prosecution of the war until a satisfactory and lasting peace is secured. Second Nation-wide prohibition of the liquor traffic, including both manufacture and sale, as a necessity for efficiency in prosecuting the war and as a justifiable means of meeting the demand for Increased food production, by constitutional amendment. Third Equal suffrage as a just and reasonable evidence of our sincerity in waging a war for democracy throughout the world. Such a platform would commend itself to the voters of the district, and the election of a candidate upon it would be of nation-wide influence. The party that nominates an independent candidate upon such platform will do a splendid thing for both the state and the nation. There is no question regarding the patriotism and loyalty of the people in this war, but we do not wish to overlook the matter of consecutive legislation in connection therewith. Respectfully yours, G. M. WHITENACK.

Editor Palladium: The society of Friends, or Quakers, as they are usually called, is opposed to bearing arms against their fellowmen. Or, they were originally so, although modern advancement has modified this belief somewhat. This tenet as practiced in the early part of this past century is strikingly illustrated by an incident that occurred to my father many years ago, John M. Williams, a highly respected resident of Economy, Wayne county, figured as the principal actor. When Blackford county, Indiana, was first organized, my father was appointed temporary sheriff. The country was very sparsely settled, and much lawlessness prevailed. The offenders had a retreat on an island in what was known as the cranberry marsh, a dreary waste of brush, swamp and muck, between Hartford City and Montpelier. A gang of four desperadoes had offended the dignity of the law, and had retired to their cabin on this Island. My father, as sheriff, was expected to serve the warrants for their arrest, and accordingly took a posse of two ethers and proceeded to the rendezvous. They carried rifles and hunting knives, but my father who was a quaker by reason of birthright, carried nothing but the legal documents ordering the arrest of the party. When near the place, the posse stopped at a settler's house and ate supper. They waited until nightfall so

as to take the outlaws by surprise

While engaged in conversation after

supper, the host, who knew my fath

ers scruples in regard to carrying

arms, presented him with a superan

nuated revolutionary relic of a horse pistol, with a barrel a foot and a half long, and a bore as heavy as a modern shot gun. but which had no lock or trigger. We gravely remarked, "Friend John, this is a good quaker gun, and thee had better take it with thee." The weapon was accepted in the same spirit and the party proceeded to the island. Upon arrival, the house was quietly surrounded, and all four of the desperadoes discovered in the middle of the room playing cards. My father left his men at the back door and the window, and entered the front door with the write in his hand and the "Quaker gun" under his arm and demanded their surrender. The outlaws realized that they were surrounded, and quietly surrendered, and were taken to Hartford City, where they were duly tried for their offenses. My father had almost forgotten the incident of the pistol, until his term of office had expired, and he had returned home to Economy. (Springfield was the name of the meeting), when to his surprise he was "called on" by a committee from "meeting" in regard to the incident. As father could not see the error of his way, the monthly meeting "set" on the case, and he was "dropped." GEO. W. WILLIAMS, Redkey, Ind.

On The Boards

With a strong dramatic punch in every act and with plenty of good clean comedy, the Oliver Players made a hit last night in "The Girl He Couldn't Buy." The plot and lines were right up to date, a play with a wholesome and definite purpose. The cast was all that could be desired and the scenery appropriate. This play remains until Wednesday evening, "The Tidal Wave" will follow Thursday. This is another late stock release, and the scenes are laid in Maine and South Sea Islands.

WHAT WOMEN IN THEIR "FORTIES" NEED Many women approach the critical changing period of their lives that comes between the ages of forty and fifty, unmindful of its tremendous importance to their future health and happiness. Not understanding the functional changes taking place in their bodies, they work beyond their strength, often break down, become nervous wrecks, their bodies suffering with fatigue and their weakened nerves trembling at every step. Often in their weakened condition capillary hemorrhage becomes excessive, this added drain compelling them to take to their beds from nervous exhaustion. What these .women need is something that will instantly relieve the pressure on the overworked nerve centers and give them the vitality to stand up under the grueling strain. Wonderfully effective results are given in such conditions by the simple use of Margo Nerve Tablets, a skillful combination of six of the best nerve vitalizing elements known to modern chemistry. These little tablets contain no dangerous habit-forming drugs and ,are entirely, harmless in their ac

tion but they quickly : build - up ana strengthen the entire nervous system by feeding : directly to the tired devitalized nerve cells, in artificial form, the very necessary elements of which nature is depriving them. . Thousands of women could testify that Margo Nerve Tablets strengthen the jaded nerves, revive the tired brain and put the energy and courage into your body that enables 'you to stand up under the unusual strain of tne changing period. Margo has to do these things or it costs you nothing as Thistlethwaite Drug Stores and other leading druggists sell it on a positive guarantee or relief or money back. Adv.
