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 Mail Matter. MRMBKR OP THE ABSOCI A.TEO 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. All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Charles M. Schwab's Integrity , Few persons believed the canard that Charles M. Schwab had received $100,000 from the the government to defray personal expenses when he was connected with the emergency fleet corporation. His vindication was complete and conclusive. A few nights ago the story was told how Mr. Schwab spurned a bribe of $100,000,000 offered by the German government to break his contracts with Lord Kitchener, and how he rejected an offer of $150,000,000 from England to continue the contracts. Neither England nor Germany, Mr. Schwab is reported to have said, had enough money to make him break faith with Kitchener. The press is glad to chronicle the incident mentioned above, which was narrated in connection .."with a luncheon given in honor of Mr. Schwab by the New York Chamber of Commerce. Many of our public men and our leaders are the victims of malicious innuendo and foul attaclcs by persons who themselves lack decency. Is
there any wonder that good business men andi
capable citizens refuse to accept public office
when they are made the targets of foul-mouthed men who hide their designs under the cloak of performing a public service? America has had few industrial leaders whose achievements and character will compare with those of Mr. Schwab, and yet his patriotic service for his country and his disinterested discharge of a public office did not save him from the malicious attacks of petty detractors, who perhaps sought their own interests by charging that there were irregularities in his accounts. A man who performs a public duty always runs the chance of having his character besmirched by a critic. Mr. Schwab was no exception. - In his case, however, the vindication came fast, and the renewed marks of esteem and appreciation which since have been shown to him prove that a fair minded public cannot be deceived. Mr. Schwab believes in the gospel of work. At the luncheon the other day he said
that the road to restored prosperity is through j
the thrift and hard work of our people as a
whole. Germany, he said, although defeated on the field of battle, may after all win on jthe field of commerce through the efforts of her labor. Himself a self-made man, who went to the top by hard work, Mr. Schwab is an optimist who believes that everything shapes itself ultimately for the welfare of mankind. His soul has not been soured. He does not believe that every person who does not agree with him is a crook and grafter. He does not believe that conditions are getting 'worse. His heart radiates the good cheer and happiness which always characterize a big man. "It is impossible for me," he said, "to be anything but an optimist. To me the world is so full of opportunity and promise and confidence that I cannot look forward to anything but a future of brilliance and abundance." The attacks made on his integrity have not filled his soul with the venom of hatred and distrust, but have strengthened him in the optimism which has been characteristic of his career. Fortunately for our country, our leaders are men of the type of Mr. Schwab, and not acrimoniorrprophets of despair, who see nothing but wickedness and ruin in the men and women of today and the final collapse of the nation in the future. The constructive men of the Schwab type are the builders of the nation. Not enough honors can be showered upon them for their splendid achievements and for their wise policy of counseling optimism and confidence.
The Days of Real Sport
A Righteous and Unfailing Defense In an address before the officers of the American fleet, which he reviewed a few days ago, President Harding said that America wants only that which is righteously her own, "and by the eternal we mean to have that." He added that if other nations of the world were actuated by the same motives "this world would be at peace forever, starting from today " These two thoughts summarize the sentiment of the nation on the topic of our military and naval establishments. America has no desire to engage in an offensive warfare to add territory
or to gain concessions ; but neither will she lend j
herself to the abuse and attacks of a foreign nation without a resentment that will assert itself in the best defense its citizens can put up. If other nations took the same enlightened view, there would be no need of big armaments. Peace would dwell on earth. But because they do not do so, America must make ours "the most efficient, conscientious and effective navy in the world," quoting the words of President Harding.

HERE'S TO THE DISSENTERS! The idea! The Idea! TbJrk of It! Lighting a city with smoke sent through pipes laid in the streets! Fancy lighting lamps without wicks!" Such was the rather warm reception accorded Murdock for trying to introduce gaslight In place of candle light; but the pipes burnt their smoke. Edison had to supply electricity free for sL months before he could convince hard-headed business men it would work. People used to thing thirty miles an hour would stop the circulation of the blood. The man who drove the first steamboat up the Thames was so unpopular the London hotels refused him a room for the night. Morse pleaded and begged ten congresses before they believed the telegraph was somthing more than a crank's toy. It took. McCormick fourteen years to sell his first hundred harvesters. Every man whose idea in the head has been worth two in a book has been a victim of more or less conservatism and ignorance, incompetence and ridicule. New ideas hurt almost like new shoes. Mankind never seeks novelties. It resists them. It prefers two cents to them till it is forced to use them and understand them. We have to be given time before we will have anything to do with what has been without our ken almoEt everything old is assumed to be good and the new la prejudged poor. The men who have put more comforts Into the average two-by-four than kings used to enjoy in their palates had the pleasure of seeing themselves lambasted in cartoons and comics. If you would see the trend of progress and science, read the "funny sheets". Most great inventions and discoveries have been ugly ducklings. It has taken hearts of oak and wills of steel to transform them into beautiful swans. The common run of us find it safer, more pleasurablo and far more profitable to conform, to come into the fold and let well enough alone, to float along with the current and let others buck the tide. But here's to the DISSENTERS the charters of unmapped seas, the blazers of untrod trails, the dreamers who eternally seek a better way. Theirs Is the horizon that views the dim light as It gilds the mountain top, while we of shorter scope and lesser vision toil on in the valleys below.
Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON
THE OLD MAN. I met him often by the sea, a white and wintry gent; his age was eightytwo or three, and he was frail nnA . bent. And still he talked of coming days, and plans he had In view, as i though he meant to ?ro his ways a cen- j tury or two. He'd build a house and plant a tree and take a motor trip, and visit lands across the sea when he could board a ship. He was a blithe and sprightly man, hia spirit high and bold; he would not be an also ran, though he was passing old. One balmy nlglit he went to bed all full cf Tileapnnt schemes, and in the morning he was dead he'd checked out in lii dreams. And I admire that fine old .lay, his system wi?e appears to ; as though you planned to stay on earth hundred years. Too many think ; ; hey wax old that they have shot their bnlts, that plans and schemes they, shouldn't liold. since they're no longer colts. And so they sit before the fire and drool of bygone years, and by slow inches they expire, with dotard sigh nd tears. When I'm that old, I won't

v ' At the Earlham chapel exercises the secretary of the National College Equal Suffrage league, Miss Martha Gruening. of New York, delivered a short address to the student body. She stated that woman suffrage was not the result of a sudden change in the attitude of the nation, but the result of a long process of evolution.

There were two convicts, one ir for stealing a watch, the other for stealing a cow. They disliked each other, and their conversation was full of innuendo. Thus the man who had stolen the cow said to the man who had stolen the wutch: "Jim, what time Is it?" "Milking time, Joe."
TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Cn," "Take ft," "Up" LOVE ANP LAUGHTER OF A CHILD T should say that the whole world wakes up and begins Its tasks in the heart of a child. For no matter how ill surrounded a child may be born, there is nevertheless that starting point of innocence and unfathonied mystery. Love Is there. And laughter, too! And love and laughter are the two shining stars of the firmament of the soul. We mount up as we push our footholds into the rich soil of first principles. That man or woman remains youngest who lives the boy or girl most. The other day I saw two little toddlers cross a crowded, busy street. A great, tall Irish traffic man stopped all movement until he could see the diminutive pair safely on the other side. They seemed about the same age probably no more than five years. Each held the hand of the other tightly. Then as they touched the walk beyond, they put their arms about each other and In laughter strode carefree along. What did they know about the wealth and glory of the city? What did they care? As I passed on I said to myself that I would rather have their contentment than that of any who rode by in false allurements. He or she is indeed poor in spirit who does not long for the love and laughter of a child. Just to carry it around In one's heart, after having had It in flesh and blood, is to be rich. Every mother and father knows this. And that state Is the best civilize? which recognizes the welfare of the child most. I would like to be a big holder of real estate and own great apartments, and I would put a prominent sign outside that would read something like this: "Apartments for Rent. Babies and Children Welcomed!" ' I would much rather hear the sound of babies crying, laughing and playing, than to be disturbed all night by the sounds of passing automobiles, owned by thos1 who were too busy to get on the floor and have a baby crawl over them. When life presses hardest. I can think of nothing more consoling than the love of a child pulling at one's heartstrings and Its laughter playing in the work-a-day of one'6 simple backyard.

DAVID H. BLAIR. The appointment of David H- Blair of WinstoorSalcm, N. C, as commissioner of internal revenue caused, temporarily, quite a stir in the Republican camp. Some party leaders
were skeptical because he is well known as a poor politician." Although Blair is a Republican, be is very conservative and is not a party leader. Blair is the Bon-in-law of James W. Cannon of Concord. N. H. Cannon owns twenty cotton manufacturing factories and he is rated as the most suc
cessful cotton man outside of New England. Blair's appointment came as the result of the support, of the large cotton and tobacco manufacturing interesta in the south.
in the recent senatorial campaign
Blair was defeated by Representative
btedman. Recently Redman recommended Blair highly to President. Harding. He stated ihat Blair had conducted a dignified and houest campaign. Later the Democratic senator, Sim raons, also indorbed him. Blair will take up his duties May 2. The beer regulations will not be acted upon until he takes office, lie is said to be a conservative on the prohibition question. His town was one of the last in the state to give up saloons.
