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 Mall Matter. MKMUEIt OP TUB ASSOCI ATElpRESS The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of nil news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited In this paper, and ..also the local nws published herein. Al rights ot republication of special dispatches herein arc also reserved. . The Railroad Crisis The appeal of the railroad managers for the immediate repeal of wage agreements, because they are "productive of waste and inefficiency," to save the roads from bankruptcy is a serious matter. They assert that the roads are paying for work which is not performed, and that this burden is forcing them into ruin. The brotherhoods deny these accusations, asserting that the executives are incapable of managing the roads . of ficiently and are deliberately trying to bring about a crisis. ' The charges and counter-charges must be examined exhaustively before the public passes judgment on either the executives or the workers. If the executives are incompetent and unable to handle the transportation system of the country, the worker is right in refusing to accept a cut in wages. And, on the other hand, if the workers are not producing a full day's work for the pay, the executives cannot be censured for asserting that the high labor costs, without adequate returns, have brought the roads to the brink of ruin. In the meantime both parties to the-controversy should remember that the public also has a vital interest in the settlement of the problem. ,The public believes that the worker is entitled to a just and fair wage, and that the roads must earn a fair return on their investment.

If the crisis should develop to the point of an open break, involving the cessation of operations on the railroad systems, the roads, the workers and the public will suffer as never before. The national interest is greater than that of either party to the controversy. A prompt hearing of the charges preferred by the executives and the workers will quickly bring to light the truth and result in the correction of evils. The public wants both the earnings of the roads and the wages of the men protected.

breaking up gangs that are threatening the security of a district or locality. ' , The present sheriff and deputy sheriff system is not suited for this kind of work. They lack the organization and training which a body of men drilled for an emergency possesses, and usually are unable to cope with a situation that demands executive ability for its solution. A body of state constabulary quickly could be thrown into a locality demanding the presence of police protection, and by its special training would restore order before a body of deputy sheriffs could be sworn in. The best method of breaking up incipient disorders is by preventing their growth into mob violence. A state constabulary is the ideal police method to accomplish this end.

The State Constabulary. Reports from many parts of Indiana show that favorable public opinion is crystallizing about the proposal to establish a state constabulary for the protection of rural districts. The need of a state police force, drilled for emergency purposes and instantly prepared to be moved into a threatening zone, is being realized by thousands who formerly gave little attention to the project. It would be a comparatively easy task to recruit a state police force now, when thousands of young, active men who saw service in the World war possess the requisite military training to be eligible for membership. Only a short time would be required to drill them in the best methods of

Loans to Foreign Governments The resolution of Senator Walsh to prohibit further loans to foreign governments, as well as his resolution asking the treasury department to transmit to the senate all information and correspondence relating to interest payments on war refunding foreign loans, probably will result in a definite outline of the policy which the. government will take toward the payment of the money which foreign governments owe us. Repeated efforts have been made to create public sentiment favoring the cancellation of the loans, on the theory that the allied governments bore the full brunt of the war while we came in only for a small share, but evey time this subject has been broached the common sense of the American people has voiced a distinct opposition to the proposal.

The allies would have lost the war if the United States had not advanced them money to finance their purchases of munitions and to pay their soldiers. The money was extended in good faith, with the distinct understanding that it was a loan and not a gift. Any overture of the allied governments seeking the cancellation of the debt should be repelled instantly. Europe must get out of the habit of looking upon America as a benevolent uncle who stands ready tcAadvance money whenever they call. And the people of the United States ought not to be swayed by sentimental reasons when they hear the appeal of the foreign governments, for none of them is noted for its benevolences. Take England, for instance. John Bull, by crafty and canny diplomacy, obtained important concessions in the Versailles treaty. France and Italy protected their own interests. England would welcome the cancellation of her loans here, for it would give her an equivalent amount of money to develop the concessions which she

gained by the treaty. John Bull is essentially a trader. He knows all the ins and outs of commerce, and already has begun the development of new channels of foreign commerce. Cancel his debt to us, and you are enabling him to use the money for trade extensions. At present every industrial country in the world needs trade outlets for the disposal of its manufactured products. The United States is no exception. Why should we foolishly permit England to capture the markets of the world with our money? If we can spare the money which the allies owe us, let's use it for the development of our own foreign trade.

Answers to Questions I

, Mrs, R, R. T. Can you tell me who

wrote the "Arabian Nights Entertain-1 ments"? I j The origin of the "Arabian Nights"; Is shrouded in obscurity. It Is a composite production containing tales gathered from all parts of the Eastern ! world. Doubtless many of them cir-' culated for a long time orally ' before j they were committed to paper. A few of them appear to have been put into! manuscript from us early as the Tenth

century, while some maybe as lato as the Sixteenth Century. The collection assumed a definite shape as early as the Thirteenth Century. The Arabic manuscripts vary considerably, no two

agreeing either as to the number ofl

separate tales or as to their order. The first man to translate "The Arabian Nights" Into any European tongue was Antoine Galland (1646-1715), a famous French Orientalist, whose version appeared in 1704. Widow Please tell me why widows

of the Spanish-American War get but i $12 a month and widows of the Civil !

Avar get $30 a month For a long time the Civil War widows got but a small pension, because they were young or not incapacitated. The sum of ?30 Is given because it goes to an aged person as a rule. Of course it Is up to Congress to provide such pensions as it approves.

THE PICK-

Many a man has risen from obscurity and walked his way to fame and usefulness simply by taking advantage of opportunities which others have passed by or spurned as unimportant. Many a man has grown rich from picking up what others have thrown away! The pick-up mind is the alert mind ready, willing, unafraid. It is built on the selective plan. It sees and takes advantage of the seemingly unimportant and makes it serve the Important. All things serve such a mind nature, history, daily events, art, books. You who are so fortunate as to fall under the spell of such a mind, are immediately inspired for it is bound to draw from you much of the best that is within you which, in turn, spurs you on to the task of producing something better. TJhe cycles of us all meet and cross. Our humanity touches. The same sign posts which guided our famous forebears in turn lead us on. The real, deep desire of us all is to live! ' And to live, we must serve. Every day 'we must walk happily through the splendors of promise. We must keep picking up. But we must keep giving away so that our equipment may carry us far. Like the train which picks up Its passengers only to deliver them at their destinations, we must have minds that load only to unload. In other words, let us make of our minds useful carriers!

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN J. STICH

TAMEO KAJIYAMA AND EDISON Tameo Kajiyama is the kind of name most of us commonly skip over whenever we run across it in the newspaper thus aftener than not cheating ourselves of a delectable titbit of the day's happenings. Tameo Kajiyama is what may be called a "sleight-of-mind" artist. He can think and perform a number of totally different operations simultaneously. While subjected to rapid-fire cross-examination he can read a newspaper and write on a blackboard, with extreme rapidity, backwards, the news of the day. In addition, and while engaged in answering questions, reading a newspaper and writing on the blackboard, he can keep his mind busy solving arithmetical problems, even to extracting cube roots, which latter most of us would find a plenty big enough job all by its lonesome. Further, this arch prestimentator, to coin a word, writes with equal facility with either hand or with both bands, backward and forward or upside down, differen sentences at the very same moment he is talking about something else. Tameo Kajiyama can do other remarkable things, all simultaneously and all with such accuracy and apparent ease as to give one the idea that he commands at will the activities of his brain, and that be can switch on or off his various currents of thought, making each cell of gray matter function as and when desired. And he claims that these feats aro simply the result of training, that any one can by proper concentration bring his mental powers to this abnormal pitch of perfection. Which is probably perfectly true, yet One's first thought after reading a detailed account of an exhibition ot this Japanese prodigy is: "Now that you've got it, what are you going to do with it?" r The chances are more strong that Tameo Kajiyama, after one or two vaudeville circuits, will find that his tricks have begun to pall, and that he must find some more dependable and useful way to make a living. Tameo Kajiyama is but one of a great many people, college students especially, who spend an important period of their lives trying to achieve dis

tinction in something that is not worth a hill of beans as compared to life's rel business perfecting oneself in one's life-work. If you think back far enough, you remember the time when you put several hours a day on learning to "do a handstand" and when you achieved that, maybe you tried to walk on your hand! And then perhaps you died a thousand deaths learning to turn a handspring! Most of us in time get over that sort of foolishness; but some never quit trying to perfect these or similar "stunts" that take from them time, energy, money and opportunity, and give In return nothing but worthless accomplishments and disappointed hopes and ambitions. It has been said that a man who writes a flawless Spencerian can do nothing else and the same would probably be found to be true of phenomenal chess players, marathoners, "divine" fox-trotters, prestigitator3 and such. Time speeds past so fast that none of It should be squandered on nonessentials. It is all very well to have a hobby, but few men under sixty can afford hobbies other than good reading, study and their job.

PROTESTANT LEADERS CONSIDER MEASURES TO HARMONIZE VIEWS (By Associated Press) ST. LOUIS, Feb. 2. Protestant

leaders identified with various nationj al and international movements for

church unity met here today to consider measures for harmonizing their interests. Delegates emphasized no new organization or consolidation of forces is to be evolved from the conference, which is the first of a proposed series, but explained it is intended as a medium to interchange views, explain the various movements on foot, and seek co-ordination of efforts for unification. Rev. Peter Ainslle, of Baltimore, president of the Association for the Promotion of Christian Unity, by which the conference was called, declared in his opening address that it was the "first time in the history of the world that all Christian unity movements which concern the whole church have been brought together officially on one platform. The speaker decided "unity of Christian forces" as "the greatest issue in the world today," and asserted "antagonism and competition are disastrous in Christian experiences. The conference will continue through Friday and it is planned to follow it with others at Dallas, Tex., Feb. 5 to 7, and at Cleveland and Baltimore, respectively, during Easter week.

Dinner Stories

The following story is told by exPresident Taft: A Frenchman who knew English only fairly well was asked to make a speech and obtained the help of an Englishman to help him prepare it. The Frenchman started the spoech as follows: "My dear friends. I do not wish to cockroach upon your time, but. After the dinner the Englishman reproved his friend. "Isn't that what you tcld me to say?" he replied. "Hi said for you to say, 'Hi don't want to hencroach hupon your time'." "Well," replied the Frenchman, "these English genders arc too much for me." "I suppose poor Mrs. Jabbs will be arrested under the Sunday law." "Good gracious What has she been doing?" "I understand some secret investigator got into her pantry and discovered that her preserves were working."

' CREDIT. This year will bring unsettled times, because of readjusting; the merchant princes need their dimes, and they'll be slow at trusting. They'll not. give credit left and right as lately they've been doing, and frowns will greet the

Agony of Asthma New Prescription Gives Instant lief. Makes Breathing Easy.

Re-

Thousands of people suffer from Bronchitis or Bronchial Asthma who, having tried advertised remedies, inhalers, 'Patent Smokes,' douches, doctors, changes in climates, etc., without permanent benefit, believe nothing can ever make them well. Extensive experiments finally enabled a Worcester, Mass., physician to find a simple, harmless treatment that gave almost immediate relief in even the most stubborn advanced cases and great numbers of former Asthmatics have now used his treatment with wonderful success. "The doctor's prescription is called Oxidaze and can be obtained from A. G. Luken & Co., and leading druggists everywhere, who sell it on a guarantee of money back on the first package if in any case it fails to give prompt relief." Many users who for years have been obliged to sit up In bed, gasping for breath, and unable to sleep, report that they now take a dose of Oxidaze when going to bed and then can lie down and breathe easily and naturally and get a good night's restful sleep. Oxidaze is a safe treatment, easy and pleasant to take and contains no harmful, habit forming drugs. : Advertisement-

SayS His Prescription Has Powerful Influence Over Rheumatism

Mr. James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. Many times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no one can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called uric acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles' and expelled from the body. With this idea in mind he consulted

physicians, made experiments and ,

tinaiiy compounded a prescription that ouickly and completely banished every sign anM symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his discovery to others who took it, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers. A. G. Luken & Co., 3 Quigley's Drug Stores, and Yes and Now Drug Co., has been appointed agent for Allenrhu in this vicinity with the understanding that he will freely return the purchase money on the first two bottles to all who state they received no benefit.
