THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM , AND SUN-TELEGRAM. - ....

Published Every Evening Except Sunday by - Palladium Printing Co. .4' Palladium ? Building, - North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second-Class Mail Matter. r MEnER OF THK ASSOCIATEI PRESS sir The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the uM for republication of all news dispatches credited to It or not otherwise credited in this paper, and also the local news published herein.--- Al! rtgrhts of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. - Defending the High Schools Attacks on an alleged laxity in the deportment of the boys and girls of the high schools of our country are ably answeredvby thelphiladelpma Public Ledger in an editorial which says that few healthy children are saints, and "if children were cherubim, andseraphim, "teachers and parents; would not have .to educate, them." Children, says the Public Ledger, are the fallible offspring'oF mortals far from perfect: No sensible person condones the excesses sometimes committed by youth, nor supports an erring boy or girl. Parents and . teachers must exercise rigid discipline to keep boys and girls in the channels of proper development.' They must warn against pitfalls and remove dangerous temptations, as well as apply disciplinary measures. :." But if we insist that the present generation of children is retrograding from high moral standards and is steeped in ways of sin and cor ruption, we are letting our imagination get the better of our common sense. . . . "A sure sign of growing old," says the Public Ledger, "is the readiness to impression any one who will listen the fact that the world is very evil, the times -are waxing late. There is nothing new in these plaints as to the graceless and mannerless children of the century. Each age bemoans a decadence from the generation left behind." . ; Referring to the condition pf our high schools, the Public Ledger vsays that' they are better than they ever were. " "So are the high school children. If the rest of the country in the war had done so weir'ai ithe J High ' school children did, there would be nothing in our record to bring the bltish of jghktp' i'che?k?!df patriotic

"Most high School pupils are shrewd nough to see that if they fail to improve their chance at school they lose but in life's race, because of the fierce competition. That fact is enough to keep most of them straight and at work. To come in occasional contact with any group of children of the American school today is to be. thrilled with a sense of the latent power for the future and race. The paramount, misfortune of our imperfect educational system is that we usually crowd our schoolrooms with such mobs of undisciplined little .people for our underpaid and overworked teachers to train that the thrill comes too rarely, because of the pressure and fatigue that sap the teacher's vitality and make it all she can do to keep going." . . .

; ' ; The Secretary of Agriculture" ; ' The presence of Henry C. Wallace as secretary of agriculture in the Harding cabinet has received the general approval of farmers. They believe that he has studied national problems from the agricultural standpoint. Mr. Wallace's long study of the marketing problem leads farmers to believe that he will suggest a solution. . The public generally is beginning to chan,its attitude toward the department of agriculture. For many years it believed that agriculture had no bearing on other industries and was not directly related to the weal and woe of the nation. The department of agriculture was considered to be of benefit only to the farmer. Today the public has learned that a strong department of agriculture and an able secretary in

the cabinet are needed not only for the sake of the farmer but also for the good of the whole nation. So long as our population tends to congregate in large cities, which depopulates the rural sections, increases the cost of farm labor, and even reduces the number of acres which a farmer can cultivate, the problem of the farmers will remain of-vital and significant interest to the urban dweller. The depletion of the fertility of the soil, effective r marketing, co-operative buying, and many other topics that formerly interested only the farmer now have taken on a new meaning to the man who lives in the city. He realizes "that these very problems have a direct and distinct bearing on the price of flour, potatoes and of other foodstuffs which he consumes. Consequently his interest has changed from a mere passive knowledge to an active concern for the welfare of that industry which must supply us with food.

Somebody. Is Always Taking the Joy Out of Lit

The Passing of Chabip Clark 'With the death, of Champ Clark a militant figure of the Democratic party has passed into the great beyond. He was one of the outstanding leaders of his party, and had it not been for William J. Bryan's sensational attack upon him in the Baltimore convention in 1912 he would have been the standard bearer of his party in that campaign and probably would have entered the White House. Only the two-thirds rule of the convention prevented his nomination over that of Woodrow Wilson. . Mr. Clark's popularity extended far beyond the harrow circle of partisan friendships in congress. Many of his bitterest political opponents were his dearest friends socially. His fairness as presiding officer, the impartiality of his rulings, and his genial attitude toward all members made him one of the popular speakers who have presided over the house. The respect which Democratic and Republican members showed when news of his death reached the house chamber is indicative of the esteem in which he was held there. Thousands of Democrats who were attracted to him because he voiced their political views, as well as thousands of Republicans who respected him for his manly qualities, regret the dictate of providence which summoned him from mortality into immortality.

Good Evening By Roy. K.. Moulton

IS THE PIPE MIGHTIER THAN THE FLASK ? (From the Boston Herald of Freedom.) Sunday morning a sailor stowing tho jib on board a vessel coming into our Iiarbor from a port in the Baltic missed his step and fell into the water, where he remained above an hour and was taken up without any signs of life. Strong spirits were applied to His temples and nostrils in vain, till the captain ordered the fumes of a lighted tobacco pipe to be thrown into his body. This experiment immediately set his lungs in play and lie is now fully recovered. We have been invited to stand in Pennsylvania avenue and watch the new president rtde to the White House. Although this is a distinction, in a way, we will sell our parade ticket i.t a sacrifice. People are taking a groat interest in prize fights, probablv because there isn't n.uch of anything else to take an interest in.

JOHN FRANCIS MURPHY "Genius! No hovel is safe from it!" says Whistler. John Francis Murphy, celebrated landscape painter who has just died, was a typical victim of the garden variety of genius the genius that means rising at 6 in the morning, working ten, eleven, twelve, fourteen hours a day, and succumbing completely to the artistic conscience the impulse that maked a man scorn to do anything but his best. He first "felt the urge" when a mere child. And there still exist many of his pictures which he then drew rude, crude, uncertain; yet, with that elusive "something" that instantly distinguishes them from the sort of crayon sketches most children at some time or another perpetrate. Every minute of every day of his boyhood and early manhood the truth was pressed home upon Murphy that there was nothing and no one in the universe to help him but himself; that if he was ever lo do something and to be somebody in this world, he would have to rely completely upon his own efforts about the greatest lesson anybody can ever learn, and which bears best fruit if implanted early. Murphy was bitingly poor. He was called the "self-taught American painter" because he never studied art under a teacher. The fact is his folks were in such straits he never had a chance to study fundamentals, let alone art under a teacher. The family kept, many cats. They made excellent plundering for brfstles for his brushes. For more than half his life Murphy had a teriffic struggles with poverty. He knew what it means to hunt for work, to sleep on park benches, in doorways, in etuptv wagons, even on the flat stone slabs of the graveyard. He used to carry a portfolio with little sketches, which he peddled among the dealers at "two lor $5." One of his works not long since sold for $15,000, and his landscapes are found today in nearly all the big galleries and prominent private collections. ...... Murphy succeeded because he could not quit. Ambition was his mistress and exacting she was, but he never tired of her tyranny. He would not stay down and he won. For the winner is the man who will get up, keep up, and

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams. Author cf "You Can", "Take It", "Up-. IMMENSITY Let us associate with immensities! That we may become more human woven about and soundly encased in the spirit of humility though with that self-pride and power remaining which will not allow us to walk backwards. How immense is the mind! And yet how inconceivably great the assertive immensity of a billion and more of minds walking around on the crust of a world so small that it is but a dot among the millions of other worlds that play with It among the stars! The psalmist was in this meditative mood when he exclaimed: "What is man that Thou art mindful of him, or the son of man that Thou visitest him!" With our packs upon our shoulders and our loads in our hearts, we travel our separate ways. Yet we are all as tightly bound together as the earth itself is to us. The immensity of the AH holds us tightly together. We can always make another great effort to get up when we realize that millions of others have fallen as we have and risen again! There is something inspiring about immense things the immense mountain, the immense bridge, the immense engine, the immense printing press the immense brain of a man who understands these immensities. Immense space, endless, touching the finger tips of eternity who would boast in the presence of such a thought! And yet thefe is an immensity greater even than all this the' immensity of love! Through it all the worlds, suns, moons and stars make a path. Centuries upon centuries it has been so and all you have to do to become an inseparable part of this immense love is to "take hold of hands" with it. Then you will have become as important as the biggest in this greatest of immensities.

Rippling Rhymes

By WALT MASON

THE USUAL LUCK In Kansas, where I lived for years, : the winters were a fright; the north wind came and froze my ears when in ! my bed at night. The snow was al-!

ways ankle deep, and filled my heart with pain, and murky heavens used to weep twelve kinds of chlling rain. And so I said, "I'll seek a clime where winter isn't known, where there is neither snow nor rime, and blizzards do not groan. And so I pitched my moving tent upon a sunny shore, where weather prophets don't lament, and groundhogs weep no more. And then the Kansas climate braced, and sprung a great reform: no blizzards o'er her prairies chased, the air was mildand warm. "The sweetest winter ever seen," my correspondents say

"the skies are blue, the grass is green, the jazzbirds sing all day." And on

long waves lashed, the old inhabitants! admit that records have been smashed, j "The coldest winter we have seen" these ancient men remark, "since we!

came o'er the billows green in Noah's costly ark." And should I back to Kansas go, where all the prospects please, the clouds would dump six feet of snow and I would promptly freeze. Alas, this is the sort of thing that always has been mine, and yet I'm happy as a king, so many things are fine.

Every Druggist in this country is authorized to say to every rheumatic sufferer that if two bottles of Allenrhu, the sure conquerer.of rheumatism does not. stop all agony, reduce swollen joints and do away with even the slightest twinge of rheumatic pain, he will gladly return your money without comment. Allenrhu has been tried and tested for years, and really marvelous results have been accompl'hed in the most severe cases where the suffering and agony was intense and piteous and where the sufferer was helpless. Mr. James H. Allen, the discoverer of Allenrhu, who for many years suffered the torments of acute rheumatism, desires all sufferers to know that he does not want a cent of anyone's money unless Allenrhu decisively conquers this worst of diseases, and lie has instructed A. G. Luken & Co., 3-Quigley's Drug Stores-3, and ,Yes & Now Drug Co. to guarantee it in every way. Advertisement. .
