Economize on Your Coal Last Saturday the Palladium printed in its editorial column a carefully prepared statement of the United States coal administrator for Indiana. The purpose of the article was to show the acuteness of the coal shortage and the necessity of fuel economy. The trouble with most people is that they cannot understand that an appeal of this kind, affecting as it does the national welfare, concerns .hm individually. Somehow we always believe
the other fellow is meant, the consequence being
that the movement fails. ' This holds true of the appeal which the fuel administrator is making to the people of Indiana. His effort will fail if each man does not believe that he must be one of the thousands who cooperates and helps solve the problem. Perhaps someone asks, how may I co-operate ? The fuel administrator answers by - saving coal. You can save coal by shutting off rooms that are not in use, by restricting your living area, by seeing that your furnace is in good order and your flues clean, by watching carefully that your coal has the right combustion so that none of it goes to waste, by inspecting your ashes to see that no un consumed coal goes into the ash clan. . If you have a supply of cord wood, use a stick of it now and then to keep from using coal. If
you are going to leave the house for many hours,
dont open the drafts of your furnace but close it. Study your heating problem until you have mastered it and discover where you have been wasting heat. ' Let thousands of Hoosiers practice coal e conray for two months and the problem will be solved.
What AOs Germany By SAMUEL B. HARDING Profeaeor of European History, Indiana University "Our next war will be fought for the highest
interests of our country and of mankind. This will invest it with importance in the world's history. 'World power or downfall' will be our rally
ing cry. ?" "Keeping this idea before us, we must prepare for war with the confident intention of conquer
ing and with the iron resolve to persevere to the end, come what may." F. von Bernhardt, Germany and the Next War (1911.)
"Neither ridnlous ehrlekings for revenge by French chauvinists, nor the Englishmen's gnashing teeth nor the wild gestures of the Slavs will turn us from our aim of protecting and extending Deutschtum (German civiliratlon) all the world over." From a Memorandum on the strengthening ot the German army. Berlin, March 19, 1913. an official secret report, which came into the hands of the French minister of war.
"Our fathers have left us much to do. The German people is so situated in Europe that it needs only to run and take whatever it requires. The German people finds itself today in a plight
similar to that of Prussia at the accession of Frederick the Great, who raised his country to the status of a European power. Today it is for
Germany to rise from a European to a world power. "Public policy prompted by " the emotions (Gefuhlspolitik) is stupidity. Humanitarian
dreams are imbecility. Diplomatic charity be
gins at home. Statesmanship is business. Right and wrong are notions indespensable in private life. The German people are always right because they number 87,000,000 souls. Our fathers have left us much to do." , Tannenberg, Gross-Deutschiand die Arbeit des 20ten Jahrhunderts, 191L
The Book of Free Men From "The Book of Fee Men," J. T. Seehach
a FRIEND who was looking over the Greek corner
f of Ruius Choate's splendid library turned, and banteringly exclaimed, "Seven editions of the New Testament, and not one copy of the Constitution!" "Ah, my friends," Quietjy retorted Choate, "you forget that the constitution of my country is in them all!"
Daniel Webster expressed the same association of
ideas when he said, "The Bible came with the Pilgrims. And ft is not to be doubted that to the free and universal reading of the Bible is to be ascribed in that age that men were indebted for right views of Civil Liberty." The testimony of Farrar was that "it was the Bible that made America what she is;" and Wendel! Phillips said: "The answer to the Shastras is India; the answer to Confucianism is China; the answer to the Koran i Turkey; the answer to the Bible is the Christian civilization of Protestant Europe and America." Dr. Gregg said, "The Bible made the American Republic, and only the' Bible can perpetuate it" Governor Seward was even more explicit when he remarked that be knew aot how long a republican form of government could flourish among a people who had not the Bible. De Tooqueville clearly stated the principle on which all real liberty is made possible, in these words, "Religion Is the companion of liberty In all its battles, and none but a religious people can bear liberty." And the admonition of Webster is a wise and fitting reminder to us today "If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect Its instruction and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catas
trophe may overwhelm us, and bury all our glory in profound obscurity."
Germans Run Sword Through
Hearts of Little Children
BEDFORD. Ind., Dec. 17. Theodore Gs Bell, a business man of this city, has . received an Interesting letter xrotn his brother, Ralph Bell, under date of "no place in France, October
$1."' Tbe letter In part' follows: "We are having a great old time
over here. Plenty of sport and amusements and we will not need any firecrackers' to celebrate Christmas this time. Everything is still O. K., better than we expected; and is getting better In some ways. None of us would be back in tbe states without a uniform on since we have seen how heroically France, England, Italy, etc.. are fighting for humanity's sake.

the Germans . had stuck a sword through each of their hearts. It showed where the bayonets went in and the blood on their breasts. These people lived real close to our barracks. That is why I am mentioning it. "Two good old honest people on the other side of our barracks have had four sons and their wives and children killed. The fifth son is a prisoner in Germany. The old couple's two daughters were carried into the trenches three years ago and have not been heard of since. The old people each had an eye put out and their home destroyed. Think of that, and thousands of such instances, and some of the Ignorant people over there holding up German kultur. "I always thought that I would just!
as soon be killed as to kill some oth
er soldier, and at first I had sympathy for them all, but let any of us ever get a chance to bayonet one of them and see what happens. Alt' that I have heard mention it at all swear they would never be taken or take a prisoner. "I have seen everything from a prisoner to a real battle. Some one mentioned about seeing troop trains going through. We see more than that going through here all the time. Some one asked if we saw any movies. I said we see the real thing over here, where movies are made. "This 13th regiment is very popular because we were the first volunteers to come over, the first foreij troops to parade in London since William the Conqueror, about 500 years ago. We were almost all over England and France, passing in review before the 'high brows.' "

ITALIAN HEADQUARTERS IN NORTHERN ITALY, Friday, Dec. 14. By The Associated Press. An army automobile in which Congressman George H. Tinknam of Boston was riding today on a visit to Monte Grappa on the northern mountain front, skidded over the mountain side and dropped twenty feet. It made a double turn and was crushed to pieces, but the congressman and tbe other occupants escaped with bruises, the chauffeur being seriously but not dangerously injured. The car was so badly damaged that it was abandoned Congressman Tinkham, who fired the first shot against Austria, received Flight injuries and was cared for by a military surgeon.

your trade?"
"No; I mean I stand by him while be Is cutting and weighing the meat" The late John G. Johnson, the Phila
delphia lawyer, was once engaged in a case where a certain cantankerous old woman bore witness for the opposition. Her testimony concluded, the old woman proposed to leave the witness box. but Mr. Johnson said: "Hold on, madam, I've one or two questions to ask you." The old woman did not halt in her departure. "No, ye don't" she said. "None o yer questions for me. You ain't on our side." "Mamma," said Bobby, "does the Lord love little children?" "Oh, yes, indeed," replied mamma. "And does He like to romp with them?"

THE EVOLUTION OF THINGS MILITARISTIC. First one man Invents a siege gon which can penetrate any bombproof dugout that was ever made. Then some other man invents a bomb-proof dugout that the selge gun which can penetrate any bomb-proof dugout that was ever made cannot penetrate. Then another Inventor gets up a siege gun which can smash 'the eternal daylights out of the bomb-proof dugout that the siege gun whichai penetrate any bomb-proof dugout that was ever made cannot penetra.-. And so on, ad infinitum. If they ever reach the point where sieg? guns and bornb-proof dugouts will reach of stalemate the war will end.

THOUGHTS TO THINK ABOUT The higher you climb up the ladder of success, the more will the envy, hatred and jealousy of the crowds below hiss and jeer you. Tbe goods upon the Ehelves do not rflake a business; it's the man behind the counter who must make the people buy. It's a trick of the trade to force folks to know that you know; 'tis done by refusing to accept other's opinions, by thinking for yourself, rising to real manhood. After the Want Ad hs given the iDitial introduction, advertiser and reader do business together to their mutual advantage and both are benefited. When you advertise in The Palladium you reach 5 of the homes in Richmond.

We have often wondered why most of the heaviest fighting has been done in the Champagne district of France. But then, it has always been so in the champagne district of New York. SAYINGS OF YE OLDEN TIMES (A. D., 1913. Before the War.) "Whenver you are out of gasoline, Hank, come over and help yourself out of the tank In my garage." "Jabez, help Mr. Jones to some more of the roast beef." "Bring all the kids and spend three weeks with us this fall." "Marie, let's sit down and plan some nice Christmas presents for your relatives." 'Til send you over a couple of dozen nice fresh eggs from my place." "My wife always likes to have company eat everything in sight. It compliments the cook, you know " "I'll take you any place you say for dinner, Lucy. The best is none too good for you." .
$37,000,000. Thirty-seven millions a day. That's what It Is costing Uncle Sam. To carry on his part of the war. And here is the new slogan: "Help Uncle Sam get his money's worth." OUR FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT Money is tight today. It's a jag that Is liable to last for some time. The Stock Exchange is running full blast. A stock exchange is c place where you go and exchange some stock that isn't worth a darn. There was a report on 'change this morning that the United States now has no standing army to speak of. But what about the people who ride In the street cars? It is reported from the Treasury Department at Washington that pennies are very scarce. Even so, they will never be as scarce as the tens and twenties.

Breaking off of the steel negoMations with the United States has not created the sensation v.hich had been supposed wiuld follow The authorities are able to announce that the stock of steel shapes on hand is unexceptionally large and that the ship builders can adopt measures which will enable them to go on without great inconvenience until the government steel works came to their assistance.

"Romp with them? What put that idea into your head, Bobby?" "My Sunday school teacher says that whomsoever the Lord loveth He chaseth." "I have never met," he said, "more than two really lovely women." "Ah!" she said, looking up innocently, "who was the other?" "May we have the pleasure of your
