THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published Every Evening Except Sunday, by Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second Class Mai Matter.

Drastic Penalty for Disloyalty The sedition bill, earnestly advocated by the department of justice and patriots generally as an effective measure for the punishment of disloyal acts and utterances of unpatriotic citizens and German propagandists, has passed the senate. The bill is in the form of an amendment to the espionage act. The most drastic section of the measure is directed against those who: "Willfully utter, print, write, or publish any disloyal, profane, scurrilous, contemptuous, or abusive language about the form of the government of the United States," or the constitution, military, or naval forces, uniform or flag of the country. The measure is broad enough to include punishment for persons who interfere or attempt to interfere with war loan campaigns of the government, or production of necessities of war, and for those who support the cause of Germany and

her allies in the war. Offenses against the act are punishable with a fine of $10,000 or imprisonment of twenty years, or both. The measure now goes to the house for passage. The speedy enactment of the law is desired by the country. The senate wasted many days in debating the measure. The temper of the American people today brooks little interference with our military program and war purposes. Citizens demand a law broad enough in its scope to include propagandists and spies, and drastic enough in its punitive features to inflict punishment that will make the country unhealthy for any one excepting a loyal citizen. If this law receives the signature of the president, the department of justice will have an instrument which it can wield effectively against the men and women of this country who Ioye the Kaiser more than they do their own flag. '

States for the last twelve months will be given new impetus and direction by the voluntary cooperative effort of the Sunday schools. Sabbath schools are intended primarily for the religious education of children and adults. Speakers will not encroach upon this highly important work next Sunday, but will use the machinery of the church for a noble purpose. fhe church as an organization has much to lose and win from the result of the great war. If Germany conquers, the churches will be face to face with a situation that is fraught with danger. If the Allies win the churches have the assurance that religious liberty and the right to worship God according to the dictates of their own consciences will be preserved. Purchase of Liberty Loan Bonds is in defense of the churches.

Sunday Schools and the Loan Wayne county Sunday schools will be.lthe scene of patriotic propaganda next Sunday wlSpen speakers present the cause of the third Liberty Loan. Their co-operation has been obtained and a great good will be accomplished. Thousands of men, women and children will receive a patriotic message. The campaign of education in patriotism which has been waged with success and persistency in the United

George AdeY Message To the People of Indiana: These are grinding times but we have a sense of relief, just the same, for now we are in the fight. . We have pushed forward and passed all the way-stations of doubt and questioning. The awful person who wants to know how it

started and' why it started will have his hat jam

med over his ears and be dropped through a manhole. The fight is on and he who is looking for polite explanations had better climb a tree or he will be trampled upon. The American people are in no mood, just now, for gentle compromise. Those who are going to line up with the patriots will please step lively and not wait to be coaxed. When you are asked to help the present drive and subscribe to the Liberty Loan, don't produce an alibi unless it will stand the tests of acid and fire and cross-examination. It isn't a case any more of "Will you give?" but "How far can you go?" Slip it into the high. Ask for more bonds than you can get. Make Indiana the largest state on the map. GEORGE ADE.

The Financial Draft From The Kansas City Star THE personal information which the solicitors for the Liberty Loan are required to get from each person regarding his holdings of Liberty bonds and his general contributions to war work has in it the elements of a real financial draft. Thats is the object of the questionnaire which has been sent out from Washington. The plan is right. The only persons it will embarrass are those who are not willing to do their share. They ought to be embarrassed. At a time when the government is going t6 every young man between the ages of 21 and 31 and requiring him to fill out a questionnaire,

'and on the basis of this information is drafting soldiers

by the million, has anybody the nerve to complain if the government comes to him and asks whether he is doing hia share voluntarily to foot the bills?

DOESN'T THIS LOOK LIKE BUSINESS IN FRANCE?

By HAL POD We agree with Strickland Gillilan, who has written a letter to Fred Myers, conductor of a so-called comic column in the Indiana Daily Times, when he says, "Your stuff is almost punk enough to be popular." While workingmen were doing some work in the lobby at the court house the first part of this week, somebody, the janitor perhaps, pasted a printed sign on one of the middle doors which read, "Youse the Other Door." Frank Strayer says that the guy who submitted the slogan. Every Biscuit 1s a Bullet, to the f Jod administration, must have been newly married.

A German spy, as defined by Ed. Weidner, ia a man who buys Liberty bonds and thrift stamps and waves the American flag in public, and concocts poisons in private. About the time most Richmond people expected to be mowing their lawns and looking after their war gardens it becomes necessary to see to the furnace.

What about the Richmond airdome this summer under the new time? It seems that 9:15 p. m. is a rather late hour to begin the first show.

We hasten to comply with the ultimatum of the Richmond man who has 6ent a card to the conductor of this column in which he declares, "If you don't print this I'll vote for Bill Bryan the next time be runs for president."

Aviator Williams who recently gave a demonstration here to inaugurate the Liberty bond drive, was cutting some curious capers high above Ninth street when the following conversation was heard between two young ladies well known in the city: "What is the idea of having an aviator here today?" asked the first young miss. "Why, I thought you surely knew, replied the second Y. M. "He's here to help sell Liberty bonds." "He is?" exclaimed the first Y. M. "Why don't he come down to earth then, he can't sell them to the angels, can he?" According to a Connersville paper the sheriff and the police there would like to find a good bloodhound. Must be that Uncle Tom's Cabin is coming to Connersville. Swat the spy with a Liberty bond. If the stuff doesn't come up in the war garden mebbe it is because you planted the seeds upside down. If any pro-Germans are forced to kiss the flag hereabouts we'll have to

American troops on the move In France. If the American fighters in France feel at all timid about marching forward to the front trenches it has not been the least bit evident in the pictures seen of them. The photograph above shows American troops and trucks moving forward to the front lines as they will soon move forward to take their places beside their French and British comrades.

Couldn't Eat Pies or Meats But Stomach Trouble Is Gone

Completely Since Indianapolis Man Took Tanlac. George Cooledge, janitor at the St. Clair apartments, Indianapolis. Ind used to have a lot of trouble with his stomach. Eating anything rich like pie or meat completely upset his stomach, he said. "After eating rich foods like that, my stomach would burn for a long time, and hot. water would raise up in mv threat and mouth," Mr. Cooledge said. "There were lots of foods that made me have the heartburn too, and altogether my stomach was in pretty bad condition. "I tried about everything but nothing helped me much. As quickly as I'd stop taking the medicines my trouble would come back. "Well, I finally read in the papers about a case that seemed almost like mine and Tanlac bad helped the per

son a lot. I desided to try Tanlac. "Tanlac did the work for me. I only

had to take one bottle. When I'd finished with that bottle my stomach was back in good condition and I wasn't bothered with any of the trouble I had had before. "I haven't had a bit of trouble with my stomach since, either, and I want to recommend Tanlac for others." Take Tanlac find get your system back in shape after the winter. Tanlac is an entirely vegetable tonlo made up of roots, barks and herbs and it tones up and invigorates the whole system. You can get Tanlac at any

Soldiers cannot say they are unable to risk their lives. Why do you say that you cannot afford to buy bonds?

WHEN THEY SET THE TIME AHEAD. Hickory, dickory, dock, The mouse ran up the clock. - , Instead of one, -. The clock struck two. And the mouse. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know which was his fate. Whether early or whether late. He was In a fearful quandary then. It is much the same with mice and men. When a package of tobacco costs 10 cents in one place, 12 cents In another and 15 cents In a third, we are constrained to believe that there must be a lot more "getting together" in this country if the confidence of the people is to be held.

He was taken ill, and at the hospital they operated and found that bis stomach contained the following: Cigar lighter, three Inches long, with small chain to attach to lapel of coat. One-inch padlock and chain. Thirty-four silver teaspoon handles. Six tenpenny nails.

Civilization is at stake. Make the world a fit place to live in by buying Liberty bonds.

When the Baby Needs a Laxative

No one knows better than the ever-watchful mother the natural doctor of the family in all the small ilia that when the baby is out of sorts it is usually due to indigestion or constipation. It is always well; in any of its illnesses; to look for this cause. The diet may have to be changed, but before good can result from itj the bowels must be moved. The mother has the choice of many medicines cathartics; purgatives; bitter-waters; pills; physics; etc. But the little body doesn't need such harsh remedies for they wrench the system and do only temporary good, so often followed by an unpleasant reaction.

A better plan is to employ a mild; gentle laxative of which only a little is required. There is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin sold by druggists under the name of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin that thousands of mothers have used successfully for baby's constipation and its accompanying ills; such as belching; wind colic; rest lessness; sleeplessness; etc The nursing mother wiQ also find it ideal for herself, and it is especially important that she be free from constipation. Syrup Pepsin is guaranteed to do as pronw ised or the druggist will refund the money. Thousands of cautious families have it in the bouse; secure against the little ills.
