GRAND JURIES TO PROBE FOOD CASES !N OHIO Prosecutors Act Immediately for County Investigation of Profiteering Charges. COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 1 Returning to their home counties after hearing the necessity for a food cost investigation discussed by Governor James M. Cox and Attorney-General John G. Price, and receiving pointers as to best methods of conducting investigations, a number of the 83 County Prosecutors who attended the conference took steps today to have the grand Juries at work within a few days. Through these grand jury investigations they hope to learn the reasons for the high cost of living and to obtain evidence on which to base criminal indictments against persons who may be deemed to be guilty of having

rtti'iteered and manipulated prices to

control markets. Cox Demands Results. Although efforts will be made by Attorney-General Price to obtain sanction of the National Association of State Attorneys-General at Its Boston convention In September for a Federal investigation of food costs, no effort will be spared to push the Ohio investigation in an effort to bring about reduction of prices within the ptate and to punish those guilty of law violations insofar as the Ohio laws will permit. This was made plain by both Governor Cox and Attorney-General Price. The Governor has told the Prosecutors that he will exact from them strict compliance with official duties.

RADICALISM SIGN OF FUNDAMENTAL WRONGS, THOMAS TELLS YOUNG FRIENDS

"I do not believe In the I. W. W., because I am not a syndicalist, and because I do not believe in certain other of their doctrines, but I do say to you that the I. W. W. has a theory which has to be reckoned with because of some of its good points and because the I. W. W. do care for the under dog," said Norman Thomas, editor of the World Tomorrow" in the open lecture before the Young Friends conference Friday on the Reid Field bleacher at Earlham College. Owing to the inclement weather the lecture was delivered under protection of the baseball grandstand. Warning his audiences of the extent towhich an organization, for

Hair, Bank Checks, Shoe Buttons, Are Book Marks What do you use as a book marker? Everything from hair to bank checks are found in books that are returned to the library. Why such things should be used as book markers is a puzzle to the librarians. A few of the articles are buttons, hair, scraps of silk and calico, shoe buttons and buttoners, combs, hairpins, letters, bank checks, paper knives, pen knives and pieces of paper.

STORE TO STAY OPEN

The Richmond store of the United Cigar Store company will not close on Sundays, according to Frank Meyer, manager. A press dispatch states that all of the Chicago stores of the above company will close on that day.

FILES DISSOLUTION CERTIFICATE

The Cambridge City Lumber Co., of Cambridge City, has filed preliminary certificate of dissolution with, the secretary of state.

I am sorry to say that today It

looks as If there are more men and women willing to die for the teachings of Karl Marx than there are to perish for the sake of Jesus Christ. So long as there are men of the type of hoboes, in the world, so long as there are men who are deprived of the association of women and children, wanderers from one work to another, and so long as men can be arrested on reasons trumped up by their bosses, let society beware! And I suggest that you consider the passion, and the spirit that urges men on in the interests of organizations like the I. W. W. Attacks Burleson. "The Syndicalist rejects all power of the state and says that all trades should be managed by unions, and by inter-relations between groups," said Thomas. "I do not believe in that. But I do believe in the danger of bureaucracy, through which a man gets his Job by

appointment, and then lords U over those under him. For instance, I question what should be done with the capitalists who put Burleson in. Ask the postofflce employees of the country how much democracy they have gotten while he has been head of the show." The nearest approach to the French idea of syndicalism in America is the I. W. W., Thomas Bald. American syndicalists helping very little. They have not cared, said he, about the negro, until lately, and they have not helped the Immigrant. They have not cared for anything but their own political success. "Democracy Not Handshaking. "Democracy is not that men shake hands before election, or before a Y. M. C. A. meeting, nor is it that kind which we heard expounded during the war about the millionaire's son and his chauffeur associating as brothers in the army. After awhile the millionaire's son became an officer, you know, or else came back to his old life and standing after the war. There are more fundamental ways through which true democracy may be secured through which class distinction is to be done away with, and a result of search for this is the establishment of socialism," said Thomas.

Taking up the theory of anarchy, Thomas Bald: "Anarchy Is the most In accord with Quaker principles, I have heard It 6aid. I am a Presbyterian, bo I do not know. But I can Imagine nothing more beautiful and uplifting than some of the teaching of Tolstoi, whom I consider was an anarchist. They believe however, that after the capitalist are done away with, everything will be all right, but It will not, until the instinct and zeal for dominance, is gotten rid of. This desire of men and women to get rid of authorltativeness ought not to be confused with Bolshevism. Bolshevism Failure In U. S. "Bolshevism has had its influence in America, but I do not believe that It could succeed here because unlike

Russia we have a middle class. In Russia it was the strongest organized force and It established a kind of law and order. It is a lie to say that Bolshevism has Indulged In wholesale terrorism everywhere. The terriorlsm did not proceed but followed the white peril, which I understand to have been the reactionary Influence. Intervention in Russia, however, has made for violence. "One may not believe In Bolshevism, and may not, at the same time believe in Intervention. If Bolshevism Is to be crushed by force and starvation, say by allied Intervention, it will be a good deal like smashing up some dangerous article In order to get rid of it and by so doing perpetuating a greater danger. It is highly and lnconsistant to say that Bolshevism is a terrible and outstanding example of bloodiness, when the world war was many times as bloody. Lenlne and other wise men know that you cannot take

an ignorant peasant and give him the control of industry, but he knows he has taken a step toward his end when he has vested power in the proletariat

Examiners Half Done With County's Books Only about half done are Birney R. Spradling and George C. Terrill, travelling auditors of the state board of accounts, who have been In Wayne county for two months or more, making their annual inspection of books. Reports on the county books and on those of five of the county's outlying townships have been completed, but the city of Richmond and the larger corporations of the county, and the rest of the township, are still to be done. The examiners are now working on the books of the school city of Richmond.

Courthouse Is Deserted; All Go To Brookville The courthouse was a deserted village Friday. While all offices were open and transacting business, only about half the usual number of persons were in the building.

Judge Bond, all the attorneys, Sheriff Carr, Prosecutor Freeman, and many other county officers attended the Republican rally at Magnesia Springs Friday.

HALF AN APPLE CROP EXPECTED IN COUNTY

Only half an apple crop Is prophesied for this year, says Joseph Helms. This is due to the hot weather and the frost that the crop suffered some time ago. Farmers are not as particular with their apple orchards as

they are with others, 6ays Helms. Early apples are scarce and are selling for $4 a bushel. Later on they will be more plentiful and will drop somewhat in price. The rain has helped the apple crops as well as all crops in general, according to Helms.

Gilbert May Not Be Held On Theft Charge I. N. Gilbert, sixteen year old boy held in the Wayne county Jail on a charge of grand larceny, may be sent back to the Great Lakes training station, where he is a sailor, if the owner of the automobile which Gilbert is said to have stolen, decides not to prosecute, said Carl Wadman, deputy sheriff, Friday. Gilbert's mother, who was in Richmond Thursday, received a notice from the Great Lakes station, that her boy would be classed as a deserter If he were not back by August 4, she said.

"PATRIOT LEGION" IS SUGGESTION FOR LOCAL POST NAME

i A list of names has been sent to the American Legion editor of The Palladium in an attempt to win the $50 prize offered by William Romey, for the best title for the local American Legion post, by P. M. B. "Wayne's Legion of Independence, Loyal Legion of Patriots, Wayne's Legion for Democracy, Knights of U. S. A., Patriots of Wayne County, Wayne's Knights of Humanity," are among the suggestions. "The theme In all of these is practically the same," says F. M. B. "Any phrase, no matter what combination of words we might select, is inadequate in expressing oilr appreciation of what is due these brave and patriotic men from Wayne county; they who were a part of that human barrier which kept

the enemy from us. E. K. R. of Milton suggests the came of Standard for the local post, and G. F. suggests "Wayne Legion of Freedom," because the United States has never fought for anything but freedom.

No Sunday Interments In Earlham; Short Of Labor Announcement was made Friday by W. K. Bradbury, superintendent of Earlham cemetery, that there would

be no interments after Aug. 1 In the cemetery on Sundays. Shortage of labor and other conditions were given by Bradbury as the reason for the decision.
