THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND. IND TUESDAY, MARCH 35, 1921.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM "r" AND SUN-TELEGRAM Published Every Evening Except Sunday by J ; -r Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, aa Second-Class Mail Matter. .' ' MEMBER OP THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited In this paper, and also the local news published herein Al rights of republication of apeclal dispatches herein are also reserved. Home Rule . The citizens' committee has gone ahead with commendable speed to make the arrangements necessary for the circulation of petitions asking for the calling of an election to determine if the .city wants to adopt the business manager form of government. x Everything points to the successful obtaining of enough names on the petitions to call the election ; and there is no doubt that the voters, by a vast majority, will replace the present system with the new one. Cities that have tried the experiment are more than satisfied with the results. Trained managers, acquainted with the science of government, experienced in finances and trained to get results from the money that is placed at their disposal, have made -the new system advertise itself and haVe forced erstwhile opponents to admit its advantages. ; A survey made by the Palladium in cities where the new form of municipal government has been tried elicited the general observation that none of them would return to the old form. This is commendation enough for home rule, and a recommendation that is convincing. , Municipalities, as a rule, are prone to find fault with the administration of their affairs, evefi under the best system. If proofs are adduced that criticism is lacking where home rule prevails, you may rest assured that it is a success and is meeting every requirement which the citizens may make. Richmond is not the only Indiana city that will quickly avail itself of the opportunity to supplant a worn-out system with a new one that promises the installation of business-like methods to get maximum results. From many cities in the state are coming reports that the preliminary steps for the holding of an election are under way, and that home rule will be adopted without fail. The Knapp act that was passed by the general assembly is regarded as one of the best laws of its kind" on the statute books in the United States. Progressive men from all parts of Indiana studied its provisions carefully, and before its passage eliminated some features that were found to be unsatisfactory elsewhere and added

others to strengthen the measure, so that it comes before the voters virtually as a combination of the best thought on municipal government in the country. ' Voters need not hesitate to sign the petitions or to give their approval when the election is held. The law places in their hands an ideal method of governing their city along approved and progressive methods of municipal administration.

Chamber of Commerce Membership Drive The campaign for membership in the recently formed Chamber of Commerce is under way this week, and is assured of a successful termination. Combining all the elements necessary for a representative working body of the citizenship, the new organization will fill a long felt want and do its share toward promoting the welfare of the city. Few organizations of its kind have been drafted along the broad lines of the Richmond body. For that reason it appeals to the citizens and will enlist their support as members and coworkers in attaining the objects for which it has been organized. There are many avenues for civic improvement in Richmond which will be exploited by the Chamber of Commerce. In it, every one will occupy a place in which he can perform a service for the municipality and co-operate in its development. With the whole citizenship working through it for a larger Richmond, results will be had.

Starvation in China Representatives of the state department, who have investigated famine conditions in China, have informed the American government that relief measures already undertaken are inadequate for the task. Their picture of China's distress is so tragic that it has moved President Harding to amplify the appeal to the American people to continue their work of benevolence. The friendship between China and the United States is traditional. Both nations have repeatedly shown, by substantial tokens of friendshiD. their interest in each other. The

j'present appeal for aid for the starving millions

of that country ought not to be ignored. Starvation is daily claiming the Chinese by thousands. The people have been reduced to the pitiful expedient of trying to subsist on bark, leaves and roots. Starvation on the wholesale scale that prevails in China is unknown anywhere in the world today. The hope is expressed by the president that the American people will hear the cry of distress and try to ameliorate the suffering by everything that is within .their power.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

WHAT MR. HARDING WILL DO (News brought by Special Carrier Pigeon.) The cabinet held its first meeting yesterday. There were present Mr. Harding, Mr. Coolidge, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Hays and several other gentlemen whose names we do not seem to recall on the spur of the moment. ; After reading all the newspaper reports carefully, we are able to give the following definite and concise, not to say intelligent, report of the session. After the members had been introduced all around and had mumbled one another's names so as not to make any embarrassing errors, Mr. Hughes made a report on his attitude toward the war between Panama and Costa Rica. We don't know what it was he said. Then Mr. Harding said what he would like to do in regard to this war. What he said has not been revealed. Then there was a general discussion of the situation in Russia. We don't know a word they said, but we believe the situation in Russia is critical. It piwavx is that, we are reliably informed. Mi. Coolidge said something abr" the league of nations. It was hot stuff, take it from us. but you'll nave to guess vhat it was. From information we have gleaned from the cabinet meeting we are prepared to say that Harding will continue to play golf as usual while president. We hope we are betraying no confidence in mentioning this. Also, he will attend the Baptist church and will have grapefruit for breakfast three times a week. .When he wants to go anywhere he will not call a taiicab, but will use one of. the White House automobiles. ; These policies have already been made public and may be relied upon. As other important matters are revealed in future cabinet meetings we will report them. . - The center of population still lingers in Indiana, but it would be different if the Indiana authors moved out. READING FROM LEFT TO RIGHT 'We note that the following "wll known" Russians are at the head of the Petrograd uprising: . Petrichenko, Yagovlenko, Savachenko, Putillin and Engineer Oyleskin. ' i Which leads us to wonder how some of the names become well known. After the Russians learn the names of their leaders, it is time to start another revolution. -The only one we remember having heard of before is Oyleskin, whose name sounds strangely familiar, perhaps because we once spent considerable time at , Gloucester among the fishermen. i If it comes to electing a permanent president we hope Oyleskin gets it. We see that a New York woman demands a divorce from a-rich furrier. At first glance we would say that when any woman wants to separate herself from a rich furrier Bhe is exemplifying the greatest case- of abnegation on record. One Wellington man has finally attained one of his boyhood ambitions, according to the ''News." When he was a boy and had to undergo the home-made haircut he frequently wished that he might be bald-headed. Our apartment house superintendent has made one valuable ruling lately.,

1 Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN J. STICH

DOWN WITH ALL TAXES!"

Good Ben Franklin, in one of his friendly talks, tells of an Incident when he stopped his horse where a great crowd had collected awaiting an auction sale. The hour of the sale had not yet come, and people were discussing the burdensome taxes the government had just imposed. "Sir," said one of the men to Ben, "what is your idea of these Imposts? Will not these heavy taxes quite ruin the country?" "My friend," replied Ben, "the taxes are indeed very heavy; but if those laid on by the government were the only ones we had to pay, we might easily enough discharge them. The trouble is we have many other and much more grievous to some of us. We are taxed twice as much by our time-thriftless-ness, three times as much by our pride, four times as much by folly. And then extravagance. Here you are, all getting together at this sale of fineries and knick-knacks. You call them goods, and you expect that they will be sold for less than cost. But if you have no use for them, they must be dear to you at any price. And when you have bought one fine thing, you must buy ten more that your appearance may be all of a piece." It is over a hundred years since Ben Franklin first uttered these words, but they are more than ever applicable and potent today. Uncle Sam's taxes at the present time are of course far heavier than they were in Ben Franklin's day; but our individual and national resources are so much greater that nobody would make a single protest were it not that, in addition, he had to pay the self-imposed imposts of wasteful habits and foolish indulgences the burdensome taxes laid on by "letting George do it," "putting things off," "keeping up appearances," conceit, temper, temperament, ambitionlessness, laziness, ignorance, senseless investing and others. ....

I None of us, of course, care for government taxes especially wnen prices are high and money is tight. But government taxes would be the very least of our worries if we climated those tacked on by whim, carelessness and ! thoughtlessness. j Certainly "Down with all taxes except Uncle Sams! Why not adopt and live this slogan? If we did, we might fill out our income tax blanks with a smile!

Rippling Rhymes I By WALT MASON '

' DREARINESS It is a' cold and clammy day as I 'proceed to write these lines; the skies are desolate and gray, no sunlight on the water shines, and round my cabin by the bay a bleak wind from the ocean whines. Oh, such a day as this, I know, inspired all sad old songs of yore; on such a day poor Edgar Poe embalmed his loved and lost Ignore, snd Tennyson, knee-deep in woe, bewailed his Hallam gone before. And all the dirges men have known were born on such a day as this, when cold winds through the chimney moan, nd rain gusts at the windows hiss; and I would give a silver bone if I could think of joy and bliss. The rain gusts do not fall on me, for I am sheltered from the storm: the bleak winds blow in from the sea, but I am safe and snug and warm: why don't I chirp a fcong of glee and swat my lyre in the proper form? "Be still, sad heart," the Poet wrote, 'and cease repining, right away; the sun, you think, has lost its goat, and ne'er again will shed a ray: but back of yonder clouds remote the good old orb is baling hay." Ixjngfellow thus, as I recall, shook off the tendency to sigh: "into all lives some rain must fall, if one man's wet, the next one's dry, so let me have your parasol, and I'll return it next July."

Answers to Questions

i INQUIRER Is the sentence "You ought not to clos the door" correct? You might use the word ''should," but the word "ought" might slso be used. Dr. James C. Fernald jn his "English Svnonvms, Antonyms and Prepositions," ?ays: "Ought is sometimes used of abstractions or inanimate things, as in indicating what the mind deems imperative or logically t necessary in view of all conditions; as these poods ought to go into that space; ihese arguments ought to convince him; should in such connections would be correct, but less emphatic. Ought is the stronger word, holding most closely to the sense of moral obligation, or sometimes of imperative logical necessity; should may have the sense of moral obligation or may apply merely to propriety or expediency, as in the proverb. 'The liar should have a good memory'; that is. he will need it. 'One ought to do that which he is tinder moral obligation to do, or which under duty he is bound to do." Young Reader Can yon describe the boomerang clearly enough so that some of your readers can make them?

PILES Can't Be Cured from the Outside. External treatments seldom cure Piles. Nor do surgical operations. The cause is inside bad circulation. The blood is stagnant, the veins flabby. The bowel walls are weak, the parts almost dead. To quickly and safely rid yourself of piles you must free the circulation send a fresh current through the stagnant pools. Internal treatment is the one safe method. Ointments and cutting won't do it. J. S. Leonhardt, M. D., a specialist, set at work some years ago to find a real internal remedy for piles. He succeeded. He named his prescription HEM-ROID, and tried it irf 1000 cases before he was satisfied. Now HEMROID is sold by druggists everywhere under guarantee. It is a harmless tablet, easy to take, and can always be found at Quigley's Drug Stores and druggists everywhere, who will gladly refund the purchase price to any dissatisfied customer.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than to cure, states a well-known authority. We are advfsed to dress warmly; keep the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less meat, but drink plenty of good water. Rheumatism is a direct result of eating too much meat and other rich foods that produce uric acid which is absorbed into the blood. It is the function of the kidneys to filter this acid from the blood and cast It out in the urine; the pores of the skin are also a means of freeing the blood of this impurity. In damp and chilly cold weather the skin pores are closed thus forcing the kidneys to do double work, they become weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate the uric acid which keeps accumulating and circulating through the system, eventually settling in the joints and muscles causing stiffness, soreness and pain called rheumatism. At the first twinge of rheumatism get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful In a glass of water and drink before breakfast each morning for a week. This is said to eliminate uric acid, by stimulating the kidneys to normal action, thus ridding the blood of these impurities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon Jufce. combined with Hthia and is used with excellent results by thousands of folks who are subject to rheumatism.
