Where We May Apply the Principle of Democracy There is a vast gulf between the pronouncement of a principle and its execution in practice. Eecause many Christians fail to bridge that Abyss, the church is accused of preaching noble doctrines while the Lazarus sits at the church door asking for food. In political affairs the same paradox is t be found. Millions of our boys went to France to make the world safe for

democracy while poor Mexico, victimized by "first chiefs of the constitutional army," "liberators," 'and "citizens charged with executive power," suffering under the cruelty and rapacity of bandits, lies bleeding and prostrate at our own back door. While American statesmanship is trying to i restore the beneficent charms of peace and tran- : quility to the smaller principalities of the Balkans ! and to bring order among the European states, a sister republic, in our own hemisphere, neighbor of our own commonwealth, is torn and rent : asunder by revolutions, concocted by bandit chieftains for the sole purpose of despoiling the ! people in behalf of the men who by sheer force jof military power can control a state or a group jof states. Doesn't it seem logical and in accord with our principle of "making the world safe for democracy" to take pity on the peons of this republic suffering under the domination of cutthroats ahd thieves who cow or kill every public-spirited Mexican who dares protest? If Turkey and Armenia and other, far-off countries are to exper

the importance of the legislation that must be enacted and the consequences that will attend their action. Some members of congress and a large number of citizens believe the only major piece of legislation bef ort the extra session is the ratification of the peace treaty by the senate This is a mistake which should be rectified at once, for

there are domestic problems pressing for solution that affect each individual of the United

States more vitally than the defeat or approval

of the league of nations. ' The American people may be idealistic, but

their indulgence in ideals is not so profound that! they lose sight of the practical things of life that t make for their immediate weal or woe. Hardly i

a family in the United States that is not interested in seeing the 4,000,000 returning soldiers placed in industry, irrespective of whether the skull of Okwawa is returned by the Central Powers or the boundary line of a Slav state is moved one mile east or west. Most of us are more keenly concerned about the reduction in the tax rate at home than in the Separatist movement in the Rhineland provinces. A protracted debate in the senate on the league of nations while legislation to provide for

the return of the railroad, telephone and tele- -

graph systems, to regulate immigration, to ar-i range for the payment of the war debt, to deter- j mine our military and naval policy, to bring about 1 a better relation between the employer and em-)

ploye is held up, would be inimical to our own

national welfare. Our idea of national charity and philanthropy as it concerns the people of foreign countries should not go to such an extreme that we neglect our own people. The interests of America are paramount to those of other countries. The American people demand that members of congress concentrate their effort and time on domestic problems.

lose heavily, but the full horror of the robber regime has been visited upon the starving millions of that country. The outlook for these millions is hopeless so long as the governmental organization is for the sole purpose of exploiting the masses. An outside government must act as foil

between the robber chiefs and the people until

they are able to; stand on their own feet, select their own officers, and to start on the road to prosperity. The United States under its new role of being the foremost teacher and exemplar of democracy in the world cannot long escape the duty that lies

nearest to it. If Europe is to be regenerated by

community joins in the sentiments expressed by

the state official. Richmond's low per capita fire loss of 40 cents, an average for nine years, compared with other cities of the state that show an average ranging from $1.66 to $2.51, proves that both the fire chief and his men have done good work. Systematic inspection, advocated by Fire Chief Miller, and carried out by members of the department, explains in a measure the low average. Fire Chief Miller belieTes in fire prevention. Remove the cause of fires, and you will escape conflagrations, is his theory. The soundness of his reasoning is reflected in the excellent showing of the department and in the warm

The Duty of Congress The extra session of congress has been under way two weeks, giving the two houses ample time . to complete their organizations and get down to business. Members of the national legislative body need not be told that momentous tasks

recognized elsewhere. Too often we fall into the habit of ruthlessly criticizing the men who work for us in a public capacity, overlooking the truth that these men as a rule are conscientious in the discharge of duty and willing to enforce the law. A word of compliment now and then encourages them in the performance of duties that not all of us would care to assume, and if we did, perhaps with less zeal and ability than is shown by the incumbents now in our service.

Europe's Present Plight

M

From the Dayton Journal.

ANY discouraging reports have been brought back as to conditions in Europe, but hardly any more pessimistic than that of Frank A. Vander-

lip, banker and financier. In an address in New York the other day he said Europe is on the verge of starvation, with revolutions lurking on every hand and with governments practically bankrupt and currency worthless. Industry is almost completely paralyzed, transportation Is in chaos, civilian morale has been seveielr shaken and millions of persons are out of employment The food situation, which is bad now, will be worse next year, he estimates.

Mr. Vanderlip is not known as an alarmist, but In

this instance many persons at least will hope that he

ihas exaggerated unfortunate facts. It is asserted by i Dther men who have studied the European situation that, twhile conditions are very unsatisfactory there at present, itba outlook Is full of promise. There is a food shortage, tbut it is only in certain sections of Russia, Hungary, Poland and Sections of Asia redeemed from Turkey that . there is real starvation. The situation, according to the governments of the allied countries, will be (and should fce) greatly improved when crops for this year are harTested. The financial situation for the entire world is pre-

carious at the present time, but few government! of Europe are on the verge of bankruptcy; they are merely

facing the necessity of rigid economy (a situation that confronts the United States) for a goodly number of years, it Is true that currency is not as sterling as be

fore the war, "due to Inflation, but this condition is a condition that undoubtedly win be adjusted. The statements that Industry is paralyzed, transportation in chaos, and that revolution lurks on every hand all

comes under the same term of readjustment Transition

from a war to a peace basis in the United States was ef

fected with ready facility, both because of the enterprise

of the American business men, and the fact that the

United States had been in the war only one-third the

length of ' time of European countries. . In Europe it is

exceedingly difficult to obtain readjustment in industries

that for nearly five years have been devoted to war pur

poses, and whose employes have become accustomed to that form of work. It is difficult, also, for soldiers who

have been in the trenches for nearly five years to return

to prosaic civilian life. These are some of the things -that are hurting industry and transportation and causing widespread unemployment in Europe. Once this situation is readjusted, work found for everyone, and business as usual resumed, practically all the revolutionary spirit and propaganda will disappear.

Acting under instructions of H. B. Smith, adjutant general of Indiana, the Palladium Is compiling a list of all the Wayne county men who "went into service of any kind, either as soldier, sailor or marine, in either the National Guard, National Army or Regular Army." These names will form the chief part of the permanent record of Wayne county's activity In the war. The Pal ladium will print the names so that the list will be available here. The adjutant general will incorporate the names in the archives of the state. The Importance of making these returns to the Palladium is obvious to every soldier, sailor and marine. Relatives of the fighters are urged to co-operate In having them returned. Fill in the blank and send or bring it to the Palladium office. Every man who was inducted into service or enlisted, whether he saw overseas service or was held in the training camp in this country, is asked to fill out this blank.

When Were First 6 Township Lines Established Here?

At the first meeting of the county commissioners of Wayne county after Indiana became a state, it was deemed the duty of the commissioners to divide the county into townships. Accordingly, the six original townships of the county were selected and their bounds defined. The six townships were Washington, Harrison, Jackson, Wayne, Perry and New Garden. All were much larger than their present limits. It was decided that Washington, Jackson Wayne and Perry should each have three Justices of the peace, and Harrison and New Garden two. Inspectors of election were appointed, and the place for the first township election was fixed in each township. At their May session, 1817, the commissioners ordered an election in the townships. Washington township held its election at Waterloo, which is now in Fayette county: Harrison at the house of John Williams; Jackson at Jacksonburg; Wayne at the house of John Lamb, and in Perry and New Garden, "the most convenient place for the citizens to meet" Centre township was established from portions of several others, in September, 1817. and the organization of Fayette county in 1819 caused a change in the boundaries of Washington township, as part of its territory was taken to help form the new county. Green township was formed after popular petition at the November session, 1321. Clay was organized in May, 1831; Jefferson in March, 1834; Franklin in May, 1834; Boston, in February, 1835; Abington. in February, 1837; Dalton. in 1847, and Webster on December 5. 1S70. So Webster is the "baby" of the county's subdivisions.

Good Evening BY ROY K. MOULTON

THEY DIDN'T DO ANY REAL EATING, AT THAT The following dispatch from Topeka appears in the Kansas City "Star." We wonder what the auditor would have thought if the gentlemen in question had tried to do some real eating in this village. When he wants figures tiiat don't lie, we will tell him that there have been occasions when $11.15 has failed to get us as far as the entries: "The Kansas state auditor is not prepared to say what an ordinary meal in New York ought to cost but he has an idea that $11.15 is too much for any one man to spend on four meals In one day in New York city or any other city or town. Also $8.50 Is too much for three meals for any ordinary Kansan in New York. The auditor has Just begun to receive the bills of the state officials who went to New York on special duties connected with the return of the Thirty-fifth division, and the men who made the trip are going to find large holes cut into the expense checks when they are received. The auditor announced today that he was not going to allow any such item at $11.15 for four meals in one day for any Kansan anywhere, and that he was going to cut down all the big 'feed' bills of the officials." A few months ago we all said it was impossible for anybody to fly over the Atlantic ocean. Now it has been done and looks comparatively easy. Ten years from now it will be a cinch. Twehty years from now they will be laughing at us old-fashioned folks who didn't believe it could be done." A quiet little dispatch tells us that women in Paris are going without stockings. But we are a long, long
