Pardons and Paroles Many Hoosiers will agree with the Indianapolis News that indiscriminate use of the pardon and parole laws may have some connection with the increase in crime that is noted in some Indiana communities. "Robberies are on the increase and the violators of the liquor laws are always with us," . says the News. "Human life

is held cheaply, regardless of the high price of everything else. Little' is accomplished if such

law violators are to be released after those charg

ed with the law's enforcement take the trouble to

capture, prosecute and imprison them." The pardon and parole laws serve a good pur

pose but if law violators find in their provisions

an easy way to evade just-punishment for mis

demeanors, felonies and crimes against the state,

they need revision. The whole theory of the penal institutions in Indiana is to reform the law violator. No one will quarrel with the principle.

but our penal institutions must be able to reform men and change their habits of thought in double-quick time if the short sentences some serve before they are paroled- or pardoned is an indication of the efficacy of the system. Reforms are accomplished too fast to satisfy a considerable number of Hoosiers who blend common sense with their philanthropy and charity. Mercy and justice are the two factors that enter into the pronouncement of every sentence to a penal institution. Often justice is entirely overlooked and mercy sways the judgment. "Nobody asks a man to be a criminal," says the News. "Those who violate the law do so of their own volition." That fact should not be overlooked when law violators seek clemency.

portunity to dd good unto others, there are in

finitely more chances for the correct development of the child. Many of the foremost philan

thropists of the world have recognized this principle and bring sunshine into the hearts of thousands by exemplifying it. Granted that this is the ideal system, the fact remains, however, that it is not always attainable and that there always will be a sphere of activity for the orphanages. Asylums maintained by the Catholis and Protestant denominations of the world are doing an infinite amount

of good. Hundreds of orphans, doomed to spend

their young years in soul killing environments and amid degrading influences, are annually placed in institutions where good men and pious women point out the way of rectitude and train their intellects. The worth of these institutions cannot be minimized without doing them a grave injustice, but some of them are placing children in homes and are beginning to realize that the influence of home life is preferable to institutional education.

of the inexplicable mysteries of nature that tender children are bereft of parents in that period of life when they most need the ministration of

motherly love and the guidance of fatherly ad

vice. Since Christianity's dawn, philanthropists

and tender-hearted men and women have sought bo establish homes where this handicap could be overcome. In the old Jewish theocracy the care of orphans was enjoined upon the faithful. The pagan world as a whole paid little attention to the problem. Today many agencies strive to rear the orphaned child aright, educate and prepare it for the struggles of life. Two types of endeavor are in vogue. One of them erects orphanages, supplies them with equipment, provides them with capable executives and educators. The other uses the orphanage as' a clearing house to place the orphans in good homes where they will receive individual attention and care. Of the two types the latter is preferable. Mass education of children in orphanages where regulations of necessity must differ from 'those of the home, where the traits and disposition of the individual child cannot be studied, where general rules must be made for all, and the orphan

almost loses his identity in the mass, cannot be fruitful of the best results. The child seldom experiences the warm contact of personal interest and individual concern. None of the tender emotions of parental love are visited upon it. Seldom can the orphan's-particular endowment be developed and nurtured, as all usually must take ' the same course of study and follow the beaten path of education prepared by the heads of the institution. If the orphan is placed in a home where it is welcomed because the foster parents see an op-

Permanent Highways "Improved highways of a permanent type providing motor express and passenger transportation facilities spell opportunity today to the city which intends to lay the foundation for a healthy, permanent future growth. For, if we but admit that hope lies in a more even distribution of the population over the acres lying within a city's sphere of influence then we are committed to the task of arranging facilities to permit that adjustment to take place in a natural way. Improved highways that make .possible rapid motor transportation 365 days out of every year will just as certainly permit and stimulate our people to move out on to the surrounding country acres as a fast and free flowing stream

will deliver at its mouth the piece of bark flung

in at its source." These remarks by W. O. Rutherford, vice president of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber company, are of interest to Wayne county where citizens

are beginning to discover that money spent for

highways made of material that will not stand, up under heavy traffic is money wasted. A permanent type of highway is the only one that will solve the problem of linking the rural districts with the centers of population. A poor road, one full of holes and ruts, is a deterrent to travel. If the road is hard-surfaced it invites

use. Travel from the city to the country and from the rural districts cityward is stimulated by roads of the permanent type.

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 Palladium 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 till out this blank.

Seperatism in Germany

Prom the New York Times. THE American Army Intelligence Service at Coblenz sees certain elements of comic opera in the proclamation of the Rhineland republic. "To the Impartial observer the importance of the movement consists chiefly in the opposition which has developed against it." in this opposition the labor organizations seem to be conspicuous, and apparently the Protestant population, which forms a considerable minority,, is not very sympathetic with a movement strongly supported by Catholic leaders. Rhineland Catholics fear atheistic tendencies in the Socialist government at Berlin, and business interests along the Rhine are afraid of Bolshevism and hopeful that separation and an economic rapprochment with France may perhaps ease the burden of reparation. These are strong forces, but many observers on the spot think that they are not strong enough to detach the Rhineland without external assistance. The French seem more o" less willing to furnish this assistance, and not unnaturally; division in the dangerous power of the traditional enemy seems advantageous to them, particularly when a buffer state may be set up, leaning more to France than to Germany. But it would be a grave mistake for the French to give more than moral support to the movement, or even too much of that. Desirable as it might tm to have Germany divided, the movement must be spontaneous to be worth anything. If the majority of the Rhineland Germans want to secede or half secede, well enough; bat the Allies will gain nothing by helping a

minority tear the Rbiueland away. Esrpite the fantastic ethnological imaginings which have lately been published, the people along the Rhine are Germans; and so long as the spirit of nationalism remains strong no good Is likely to come, and much harm may come, from attempts to hamper the realization of German union.

The movement for German unity was very respect

able, in itself, in the nineteenth century. Bismarck tied

it to his war chariot, so that the unity of the bulk of

Germany was eventually accomplished by blood and iron, and the movement for union had become identified with a wholly alien spirit of militarism and conquest. The responsibility for this lies chiefly with Bismarck, and

incidentally with German liberals who demonstrated their

political incapacity so that blood and iron seemed the

only way out; but Bismarck received a good deal of unintended assistance from Napoleon III., whose constant and ineffectual attempts to prevent German unification

played directly into Bismarck's hands. France has nothing to gain by resurrecting the mistaken policy of the little Napoleon; if Austria wants to stay out of Germany,

well and good; if the Rhineland wants to secede, w-ell and good; but If Austria win ts to go in and the Rhineland to

stay in, the Allies will only be making trouble for them

selves by fostering dissension. We have the force to restrain a Germany which extends from Aachen to Vienna as well as one which runs only from Frankfort to Regensburg; and if we engage ourselves to maintain by force an artificial division we shall be declaring a war that will never end.

THE GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS DAILY TALK

MUSIC

Shakespeare never said anything truer than what he said about the man who didn't have muKic in his soul. You remember, he said he was fit for a jail or a hangman's noose, or something like that. The poet spoke of the great, all-universal influence of music when he wrote of the "music of the spheres." For our millions of worlds would move on a dead course indeed, were it not for the music and rythm of their movements through space. What army could win a battle without its inspiring martial music? Is there anything In the world so soothing to tired nerves as the music from an exquisitely conducted orchestra? Also, is there anything more stimulating more prodding to a languid spirit than a good brass band? The best possible investment for any city is a town grandstand where music can be heard by the multitudes every evening in the summer-time. What city could better spend its money than on an investment such as this? For nothing unites the best in all people like music. I believe that music is more powerful than medicine that the musician is more potent than an entire drug store. For the bad little rascals running through a healthy frame scamper away at the first strains of beautiful music. Music Is so wonderful that it should be taught in all public schools and churches and every town and city should have its orchestras and its bands, ever at the service of its community. T even like to hear a good whistler! It proves to me that his soul is in tune.

When Did Friends Regulate Style of House Building?

Building a house in Richmond is .a very simple matter these days, provided you have the money, but It was not so in 1811, when John Smith completed the first brick house ever built in Richmond. When the bricklayers had the building ready for the rafters, they asked the owner what kind of a cornice he was going to have. After a moment's thought, Smith replied that they would have to stop work until Whitewater monthly meeting, two weeks ahead. The work was stopped and in due time the monthly meeting occurred. Smith presented his request to. the meeting, and said he had deferred the building of his house, lest he might offend the discipline of the church by putting superfluities on the structure. The matter was taken under serious and weighty deliberation, and finally he was told he might have a cornice on his house if he would make it ol the same material as the rest of the structure. He agreed, and the masons put on a cornice by the simple expedient of running two or three courses, each projecting a little above the lower, and laying the bricks corner-wise. This house stood until almost 1820, before another was made of brick to match it. It was occupied by members of Smith's family uintil the year 1882, when the estate passed into other hands and the building was taken down. Pieces of the house were taken away as relics, and are doubtless reposing on mantel pieces or in attics of many Richmond households.

that's a bad note I've been wanting to change all day." "Where are you going to lecture tonight, my dear?" inquired Mr. Wise of his wife, a prominent equal suffrage lecturer. ."I am to address the Cooks' and Housemaids' union," she replied. Her husband laughed. "I see nothing to laugh about. Surely they have as much right to vote as any other woman," his wife began, indignantly. "I am not denying that, my dear," mildly explained Mr. Wise, "but it is a waste of time. Don't you realize that a cook or housemaid never remains long enough in one position to be entitled to a vote Mrs. Wise, recognizing the wisdom of this, canceled her engagement by telephone.

Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ago Today

The Young Men's Business club decided to send a delegation to the Wright celebration at Dayton.

A LITTLE SLICE OF LIFE The other day We were in a prohibition town And were walking down the street With a friend who lives there. "Does prohibition prohibit?" I asked my friend, and he replied: "Certainly it does - Nobody can buy a drop in this town, Nobody can ship any in. And nobody can bring any in. Every suitcase is searched. There hasn't been a drop of liquor In this neighborhood for two years. I'll call that a pretty good record. You can't even get it In patent medicines." Just then we looked across the street and saw an Individual Clinging to a lamppost and singing, "When I die, bury me deep. With a bottle of alcohol at my feet." A policeman was hurrying after him. "What's the matter with him?" Asked my friend, much alarmed. "He's stewed," said the policeman. "The fifth one I have picked up This morning."

TOBACCO WAREHOUSE FOR WEST ALEXANDRIA : v DAYTON, O.. June 9. The Atlas Tobacco company, of Dayton, incorporated under Ohio laws a few days ago, will establish warehouses in Dayton, West Alexandria, Farmersvillo, Miamisburg and Pleasant Hill, according to Fred Zuckerman, who has been elected president and general manager. William B. Unger has been chosen secretary. Zuckerman says the company, which was capitalized at $10,000, will increase this to $50,000 and that the company will make scrap tobacco in West Alexandria. He said the concern will buy and sell cigar leaf tobacco, but will specialize in handling damaged tobacco.

When The Day Is Over

When the household cares and the worries of everyday life have dragged you down, made you unhappy, and there is noth

ing in life but -headache, backache and worry, turn to the right prescription, one gotten up by Dr. Pierce fifty years ago. Everything growing out of the ground seems intended for some use in establishing natural conditions. Dr. Pierce, cf Buffalo, N. Y., long since found out what is naturally best for women's diseases, lie learned it all through treating thousands of cases. The result of his studies was a medicine called Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. This medicine is made of vegetable growths that nature surely intended for backache, headache, weakening, bearing-down pains, irregularities, pelvic inflammations, and for the many disorders common to women in all ages of life. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is made of lady's slipper root, black cohosh root, unicorn root, blue cohosh root and Oregon grape root. Dr. Pierce knew, when he first made this standard medicine, that whiskey and morphine are injurious, and so he has alwaj-s kept them out of his remedies. Women who take this standard remedy know that in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription they are getting a safe woman's tonic so good that druggists everywhere sell it, ia liquid oi tablet fcrm.
