How Peace Will Come Only two methods lead to peace. One is a Trotzky peace, which involves the surrender of all he principles for which the Entente powers have been fighting abolition of democratic ideals and virtual confession that militarism has the right to exist today by the side of an enlightened public opinion which, according to President Wilson, is striving for "a new international order based upon broad and universal principles of right and justice." The, other is peace by way of a crushing defeat of the German war machine. We must wed ourselves to the theory of peace by victory. The pacifist argues for a Trotzky peace. The essential principles involved in this gigantic conflict are secondary considerations in his theory for he has subordinated everything to a false desire for a speedy cessation of hostilities attained by any method. His theory overlooks the very important factor that no permanent peace will have been attained until the causes of this war are removed. If the Entente powers would conclude peace tomorrow in the Trotzky manner, the causes of

war tremendous armaments, secret treaties

clandestine arrangements of dynasties to barter

peoples as if they were mere chattels would sttt

remain to provoke hostilities and cause unrest

A Trotzky peace between the Entente and

her associates and Germany would be a calamity,

All the suffering of the last three years would

have been in vain.

There is only one effective form of peace and that is victory for the Entente powers. That is

the form of peace that must be uppermost in our

minds.

That peace must be won on the field of battle,

unless Germany sues for peace and is willing to

accept the principles for which the Entente are

fighting.

The Chicago Tribune editorially discusses this

form of peace, pointing out that Germany's de

termined declarations not to act on the principles

which President Wilson declares essential make

it absolutely necessary for the United States to

hurry its military preparations with utmost

speed.

Russia's defection must be overbalanced by the power we can throw on the sides of the Allies. The American people must abandon all hopes

of a Trotzky peace. The fate of our republic de pends upon the success of our arms.

"Fight to win" can be our only slogan. Our

determination to win must transcend every other

thought.

The editorial of the Chicago Tribune is ap

pended for careful study :

ine refusal or. uermany to propose peace

terms which can be considered, by the allies or to

consider terms which are proposed by the allies is

the explicable result of German confidence and must find its counter in American determination. We do not emphasize American determination as the sole reliance of the cause against Germany. The proportions are well maintained in sane American thought, but the situation has been subject to a seemingly inevitable progression which has changed our position, in spite of policies and intents, from one of complete aloofness to one of complete participation. We even occupied, once, the position of being of important but incidental aid to the cause

against Germany and possibly the psychology of

that position has a residue in hope when it has

been destroyed in purpose and plan.

The necessity is for complete mobilization of every resource and any hope that there will be a

last hour contraction of the demands upon the

United States is misleading. It cannot be entertained. Thie situation will not permit it.

Conditions in the east of Europe are consis

tent with German needs and hopes. The war is ended there with the exception of such diversion as Roumania may be able to make, for the length

of time it may be able and willing to make it. The re victualing of Germany is a question of

Russian transport. In troops and supplies the central alliance is stronger. This regained strength is represented in the preparations for the great attack upon the French and British which is awaited with confidence but without minimizing its possibilities and its great dangers. The cause against Germany has completely lost what was once the great Russian power and it has not gained completely what will be the great American power. It is a movement of readjustment when a foreseen loss has been experienced and a foreseen gain has not been realized. The damage is done ; the benefit not realized. The only prospect the United States can afford to take into calculation is one which offers peace by victory. The only peace which the United States can afford to allow its thoughts to

dwell upon is one brought about by its military efforts. : It is necessary for the government to keep alive the procedures which invite Germany to a reconsideration of plans and a changing of ambitions. This the president is doing by addresses to congress, but Americans cannot afford to deceive themselves by the expectation that this is the method by which the war will be ended. American plans must go ahead, backed by uncompromising determination, as if there were no other way to get peace except by victory; that the only end of war will be found by success with arms. The idea that there is an easier way will produce faccidity. It will produce wavering and indecision. It will' pull the blow when it must go with all the force of the nation behind it. What Mr. Wilson is trying to accomplish diplomatically has no present bearing upon American effort. So far as the proper American state of mind is concerned the time of diplomacy has passed and the critical test of strength has come. The nation cannot stop to argue or pause to hope. It is hurrying to get into position and land its blow, and that idea and that idea alone must prevail.

The Grand Jury Investigation Alleged irregularities in the bills paid to Dr. W. G. Huffman and Dr. E. Mendenhall for the treatment of smallpox patients should be thoroughly investigated by the grand jury. Dr. Huffman admits his guilt and has made restitution of $242. He says he was too frail to withstand the temptation of helping himself to the people's money when the opportunity came his way. The return of the money. to the city ti-easury does not remove the charge against the doctor. This is a matter for the grand jury to decide. It is exceedingly reprehensible for a physic

ian to make unnecessary visits on a patient to mulct him for money. A sick man is at the mercy of his physician. He has confidence in

f his judgment. If a physician violates a sick

man's faith and deliberately sets out to rob him, he is committing a wrong that has no extenuating circumstances. Dr. Huffman practiced this kind of dishonesty on the city's patients. He made calls that were not needed. He even included charges for visits that never wexe made. Dr. Mendenhall denies that he is guilty of wrong doing. The grand jury must ascertain his innocence or guilt. City officials say their investigation shows that he made unnecessary calls and in instances prolonged the quarantine to lengthen the time he could bleed the city.

Moment

INDUBITABLY. Oh, the winsome suffragettte, She is going to get us yet In her fight to gain her freedom. She is hitting quite a stride In her battle, nation-wide, Shouting the battle cry of she4om. "Now," commanded the captain of the company. "Now, Corporal Binks, charge up that hill." "Sure," replied Corporal Binks. "I'm used to charging up things. I worked in a grocery store nine years back home." There are a good many wives who would like to sue for a separate peace. So long as Germany keeps on wanting one kind of peace and her ally, Austria, keeps on wanting another kind of peace, the entente cordial (Teutonic) is going to continue to be more or less diluted. "On account of the war" is the grand old alibi for the gay young Lotharios these days. A stack of wheats at a restaurant and a mpvie is about the limit. They are telling of a man who went into a restaurant downtown the other days and ate some horse steak and immediately passed away. Which is another way of being nagged to death.

"But for the study of sciences," said a learned professor, "we wouldn't know that the earth is round," which leads our good friend, Col. .Walter Juan Davis to remark: "The professor is wrong. No study is necessary. If younUubt that the earth is round, just try to walk on it some night, after banqueting freely."

Dog Statistics Apropos of a recent editorial regarding the dog nuisance and the expense to which dogs put the state, Omer W. Brown, residing on rural route No. 32 out of Lynn, writes : "To The Palladium: "I see so much about saving food in your paper. J believe this is good, but there is one thing I cannot understand, that is why the people of the United States keep dogs. What the dogs eat and destroy would keep the Belgian people. Besides we need the sheep and wool for our army. In Greensfork township alone in 1917 there were 189 dogs, and in 1916 the trustee paid $600 for damages done by dogs. What it takes to keep a dog would keep a child, to say nothing about the damage

done by the dog. Taking Greensfork township as an

average, tnere would be 208,6o6 dogs m the state of

Indiana. Why not pass a law to kill all the worthless

dogs and save the food, sheep, wool and money for our army."

We presume that our correspondent has the

accurate data on the number of dogs in the rural

district near Lynn in which he resides. The expenditures of the township trustee for damage

they did there is exceedingly large, as is also the

number of dogs, 189.

Homeless and sheep-killing dogs are a menace

to the community. We know of only one way to eradicate the curs and that is by instituting dog

hunts that will kill every stray animal. Sheep

are too valuable to be killed this year. Both

their meat and wool are badly needed.

USING A SUPERFLUOUS WORD Headline in one of the morning papers: "FIRE OF SUSPICIOUS ORIGIN NEAR COMMISSARY STORES." Why "suspicious." We know who did it, don't we? No mystery about those fires any more.

SPRING FASHION NOTE Hemp neckties may -be much worn by enemy aliens. Just to show that all industry has not been suspended in this country on Blue Monday (washday), we reproduce the following item from an Indiana paper: "Mr. James Spillman is pleased to announce that his wife has recovered from her recent illness and is ready to again serve ber former customers in the way of washing and ironing and plain sewing. Mr. Spillman will call for and deliver all work and your patronage is respectfully solicited." They say wild game is dying out rapidly in this country. Yes, indeed. Look what happened

to the Bull Moose.

Editor Palladium.

Mr. Koll I would like to ask you If

you have any better opinion of the Germans now? Since this war has

been going on, your countrymen and

some of the patriots of the United States have doubted these statements

about the injuries inflicted to Red

Cross workers and to women and chil

dren of its enemies. Yesterday It was.

proved to these doubters by these two heroic nurses who had been maimed

for life by those beasts the Huns. Do you still think the Germans should pot be called beasts, murderers and Huns all of which are too good and gentle for them? And you, Mr. Koll, are no better than the worst of them when you stand up for the beasts who murder and maim helpless women and children. Many people say, too, that

Be Fair to the Children Mrs, Leijore R. Ranus in the Dallas News.

LLOW your child to have company and playmates

jl as often as you can. When possible, have play

mates near his own age. Naturally out of this social intercourse will spring valuable lessons in courtesy, generosity and patience. Always be fair in settling

disputes among children. Do not favor your own child's story entirely, for though he may never have told an un

truth there is always the possibility of a sliding from grace. Sometimes it is very difficult to get a correct account from excited children. If the quarrel is over a doll

or a train of cars and you cannot discover who is in the

right, take away the toy, remarking quietly that if they

can't play nicely with it they will have to do without it. I do not think there is a better opportunity than in

play to teach lessons in honesty; play is so vital a part of

child life and the child takes hi? play so seriously. In teaching a child to be honest in word and action the parents first must be honest in all their dealings with the

child. Never make a promise that you cannot keep, or

that you do not intend to keep. For the same reason threaten. "Son, if you do that again, I'll spank you," for if he does it again you will have to spank him or in a short time be will come to laugh at your authority. Cheerful obedience is another lesson to be learned from play. A child should not cry or fuss when mother says: VTlme to puj up your toys," or "Come to me, dear,

I want to dress you." The average parents demand obedience means inconvenience, to the parents them

selves. It is the teaching of constant obedience which requires the greatest patience and tact in all child train

ing. You cannot let your vigilance flag for one moment,

nor can you allow an offense to pass unnoticed. j

Why Chilly Weather

Brings Rheumatism Says skin pores are closed and uric acid remains in blood.

Rheumatism is no respecter of age,

sex, color or rank. It not the most

dangerous of human afflictions, it is

one of the most painful. Those sub

ject to rheumatism should eat less meat, dress as warmly as possible, avoid any undue exposure and, above

all. drink lots of pure water.

Rheumatism is caused by uric acid which is generated in the bowels and absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this

acid from the blood and cast it out in the urine; the pores of the skin are

also a means of freeing the blood of

this impurity. In damp and chilly, cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to dp double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate this uric acid, which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles caus

ing stiffness, soreness and pain called

rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism

get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonul in a glass of water and drink be-

fore breakfast each morning for a

week. This is said to eliminate uric acid by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of tae3 impurities.

Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless

and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Juice, combined with lithia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism. Here you have a pleas

ant, effervescent , lithia-water drink which overcomes uric acid and Is bene

ficial to your kidneys as well. Adv. :

our fight if not with the German people. Our fight Is with Germany, the kaiser and his bunch and ' with the German people. The German people are to blame as much as the German government. If for instance, an officer in the United States army would order a little child's hands cut off (as it has been done by German officers) would our .soldiers do it? No! We don't raise that kind in the United States. But when the officers of the German army order, they do it and very often do It without orders, and these are the kind you would not have called vile names. Let this soak in, Mr. Koll; there isn't a name in the English language foul enough, for them. So our fight is with the German government and the German people. I shall await a reply. A PATRIOT.

Mr. Hans Koll: Not long ago you were asked by one of the prominent citizens of the town, just, what you would call the Germans, and why you would not have them called "Huns." You not only failed toanswer this but beat around the bush getting out of it I would like to ask you again what you would call the "kultured people of the world" that cut nurses tongues and their hands off and make them useless to aid in the cause of humanity. Just what is your idea of the "dog of hell?" Also just what is your opinion of anyone that would leave the "dear Vaterland" to come over here because he could not make a living in the land of the bun, and then say slanderous things about the country of his home and the country that makes it possible for him to live? Please answer these things, and if you cannot alone, get some other dear friend in America to help you, and if you can't help the United States, the protector of your rights and keep still, you had better go back home and help the good cause along there on its road to Hell! NOT A HUN.

A WORTHY CITIZEN To the Richmond Voters With eo many men coming before us, as candidates for different offices, at the coming nominating election, I would like for you all to consider the candidate of one man for County Clerk before all others. He is a man who devoted four full years to the benefit of the general public; he is endorsed by Mr. Barnard of Indianapolis, as being "One of the most competent men for the benefit of the public welfare of the community that he ever had to work in connection with." He did all that lay in his power to arrange and systemize everything for the good of the buying and celling public. He was fair and square to both the dealer and consumer. There are many things that he would have done that would have been of value to everyone

if he had had. the co-operation of our last council members as be should have had. He was so honest that be would not even accept a small bunch of flowers or basket of vegetables from any of the market people without paying for

them, for fear it might give rise to aJ

iaise rumor. You are free to investigate bis entire life and life-work and you will find that it is entirely devoid of any stigma. Any man who can offer such a clean-cut record, surely deserves your hearty support and co-operation. I am sure that if the house-wives of Richmond get to vote at the coming nomination, they will earnestly cast their ballot in favor of a man who has so gallantly stood by them. His education is of the best; he has learned from practical experience things that all people should know but don't always take heed and learn. He is as well fitted to be otr next County Clerk as he was to be our last Market-master. Cast your vote for George McKJnley for County Clerk and be fully satisfied that you will reap a just reward in the excellent service he will give the county. This endorsement is absolutely unsolicited and comes to you from a woman who sincerely hopes that she

may be able to support him with ntr ballot. O. E. J.
