THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published Every Evening Except Sunday, by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Euilding. North Ninth and Sailor Street. R. G. Leeds, Editor. E. H. Harris, Mgr. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, as Seeond Class Mall Matter.

Every nation is the sole guardian of its own honor, whatevery that may be. John Bassett Moore.

Police Judge? No. Save the Money

Citizens generally are of the opinion that the movement to create a city judge in Richmond is

a piece of politics designed to further the interests of a candidate. Lawyers and citizens do not see why a legal luminary is needed to preside over the police

court, which in the main hears nothing but ordinary cases of public intoxication and minor infrac

tions of the law. A mayor, possessed of a modicum of common sense, can preside over the court.

The creation of the job means the creation of

a new expense. The incumbent would draw $1,200 a nice, little stipend for thirty minutes of work daily. The mayor's work in Richmond is not so onerous that his highness cannot attend to the duties of the police court in the morning. If Richmond were two or three times as big as it is, and the mayor's time were occupied with more important duties, a police judge would be in order. Under present conditions, it is saddling another expense on the city for the benefit of some young attorney and the next mayor. Richmond wants to cut down expeYises. Here is a proposal to create a new office, add another burden on the taxpayer. It will not increase the efficiency of the mayor's office one particle. The city judge proposal has the earmarks of a political scheme and should be voted down by the city council. The people are supporting enough offices without having a "paid city judge" to assess the pitty fines that are given in police court. The argument that the police judge will relieve the circuit court judge of part of his work is piffle and ridiculous. No one will take an important case to a police judge, and the chances are ten to one that if important cases are taken to this tribunal, they will be appealed later to the circuit court. Give the people a chance to catch their breath. Taxes are high enough now without diverting them to pay the salary of an unnecessary police judge created to further the interests' of a candidate.

Give Them a Rousing Send Off The'men who are selecte here to fight for the nation are not martyrs but soldiers. They are leaving their home to prepare for

struggle and battle. They will fight for Old Glory on foreign shores for the perpetuation of principles which our Republic holds inviolate and essential to human happiness. They are not leaving with heavy hearts and woeful expressions. They are going into the training camps with the same vim and dash that sent the boys to the officers reserve training camps. Not a spirit of pessimisim but of optimism surrounds their selection and departure. The community should give them a farewell reception based on this idea. Rural and urban

districts should unite in a celebration that will make the boys feel proud of their native district and happy that they will represent us in the first

great national army this country has ever mob ilized.

Can the War Gardens Perhaps the housewives of the city have become weary reading what they may deem to be gratuitous advice handed out by the government and the press. Never in the history of the nation has Uncle Sam taken such a paternalistic interest in the storage cellar and canning shelf of the home as he has done this year, and that with the good purpose of making sure that none of the products raised in the kitchen garden be permitted to go to waste. So the housewife, appreciating the seriousness of the war task ahead of Uncle Sam, may pardon his ding-dong persistency in agitating food conservation. If the products of the gardens, estimated to be worth $350,000,000 are not bought and conserved now, they will deteriorate. The Department of Agriculture asserts that "both common sense and patriotism demand" that women co-operate with the emergency food conservation campaign. Don't let anything go to waste. Keep on canning.

Helping Others The Red Cross War Council has appropriated $300,000 to be spent for relief work in the Near East, through the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief. A like amount will be appropriated for each of the five remaining months of the year. A Red Cross bulletin says that this appropriation is in accord with the policy "of the Red Cross to co-operate with relief agencies in the theatres of war to the end that there shall be

the utmost aid afforded.

The re-organization of the executive department of the Red Cross puts this organization in splendid shape to cope with emergencies and to

co-operate with other organization in dispensing

laid. The American Committee and the Red

Cross are the only organizations allowed to administer relief in certain portions of the Turkish Empire.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT Mistakes will happen to all men. so human; but the divinity within shapes our ends toward forgiveness. Prayer pays when we pray for what is goodf or us; hustle and hunt, and the harvest is found. Envy is the base hater of the good in others; what of wit and merit envy does not possess she wishes that the fortunate might be less. Battles of life must be fought by you alone; your friends will rejoice with you if victorious, if whipped, you whine without company.

The good wjll of others toward yourself for which you have paid nothing is too costly, an expensive luxury.

Sorry-For-Peary Writes Explorer

LONDON, July 28. Donald B. Mac Millan, the Arctic explorer who has been in the polar country for the past four years, expects to return home by Sept. 15, next, according to a letter to P. F. Parker of this city, manager of his personal affairs, made public Friday. The letter was dated at Etah on Nov. 6 last and is believed to be the first direct word from MacMillan this year although advices have been received indirectly. "If our relief ship does not fail us a third time," the explorer writes, "I should, reach home about Sept. 15, tin. "Although I have had, or will have had four years in the arctic, yet I am not a bit tired of it, and have planned for further work. "As you know we failed to find Crocker Land. I am sorry, for Peary, who was, without a doubt sincere in his belief that it lay some 120 miles due northwest of Cape Thomas Hubbard. Last year I reached my objective point, King Christian land, the Finy land of some sixty years ago, which has never been visited, as far as I know."

Rookies Learn Whaii '-'.Gadget? and "Belays" Are; Ready For War,

GREAT LAKES, III., July 28. Hidden under the bluffs Is a gunboat. Its coat Is battle grey, its guns peer menacingly from ports and barbettes. It appears, and Is, ready to tackle anything In its class afloat. The crew, however, is the distinctive feature of the craft. Three months ago their nautical experience for the moat part had been confined to the operation of a rowboat on some inland pond. Now they have mastered many of the duties connected with deep water service and are ready, as product sof the U. S. Naval Training Station here, to take places aboard a first line battleship of the United States Navy. Recently this gunboat "put to sea in Lake Michigan In the teeth of a furious northeaster a squall accompanied by thunder and lightning and a torrential rain that made the task of beating away from the lee shore anything but pleasant. But when the skies cleared Just before sunset every man jack appeared on deck when the ship's band played the colors down. In Quiet Harbor By morning the boat was in a quiet harbor on the east shore and the captain's gig was cleared away and the coxwain's shouts of "give way starboard," "give way port" and finally "give way together." With the dripping oars flashing in perfect time the coxswain said: "They are sailors, aren't they?" and. It was agreed that they were. Before they reached this stage they learned many things, among others a new vocabulary. In the navy downstairs is "below" and upstairs is metamorphosed into "above." or the "top side," while right and left become "starboard" and "port." A post is a "stanchion" and a window a "porthole." Similarly they learned that there is only one rope on a shipthat being used to lower a "bucket" (not a pail), over the side for water. All the rest of the ropes are not ropes but "lines." Other terms which sound like a strange language to the

average Inland man are? "Abaft behind the ship; "Gadget! or dm mlck" any ingenious contrivance;' "Be Jay fasten or tie-up! "Doaae" to let down; "Chock-e-block- filled to tfce extreme limit.
