school board with members of their own selection, usually small politicians who are hankering for a job of some sort, you may rest assured that
the system is "undesirable" from the standpoint
of the public good.
Richmond has kept politics -out of the school board the parents and the friends of education
have not stood by with folded hands and silent
voices, but haye insisted for many years that
quality and not political influence should be the
watchword of the educational system.
THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM: AND SUN-TELEGRAM r I Published Every Evening Except Sunday by ' Palladium Printing Co. Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Poet Office at Richmond, Indiana, as .... Second-Clasa Mall Matter. MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The AsaociatM Press ! exclusively entitled to the us. for republication of all news dispatches credited to It or : not otherwise credited in this paper, and also the local ' news published herein. All rlffhts of republication of spei clal dispatches herein are also reserved. - Politics in the Public Schools Red tape and handicapping by politicians are given as the two chief causes of the present "de- ; plorable" condition of American public schools in the report of the national committee for Cham,ber of Commerce co-operation with the public schools and the American City Bureau. The survey, which included an investigation of 377 cities, showed that in 47 percent of cases where boards of education were independent from manipulation and political control, the most efficient administration and educational results tare obtained.
Richmond has been fortunate in the segraga-
i tion of its school activities from municipal poli
tics. The school board has been permitted to
operate the schools for the benefit of the pupils, ; without being forced to listen to "suggestions" 1 and "demands' from politicians.
Along with other cities where this condition
prevails, our school system has gone forward in a commendable manner. City politicians have not dared to interfere with the plans and methtods of the board. This condition will obtain in the. future, too, for the city has not tolerated the slightest move toward a weakening of its .educational system by political manipulation. We have an excellent example of the indepen
dence which the school board exercises in the instruments will remove war. Quit the manu
discharge of its functions in its present quest! facture of guns, high explosives, swords and all
Business Revival News dispatches from many points in the United States seem to indicate the advent of improved business and industrial conditions. A compilation of dispatches in The Palladium a few days ago showed that the steel mills of northern Indiana were receiving orders and tak
ing on new men. -
A number of railroads haev been increasing
working forces in their shops, and maintenance work, delayed this spring because of adverse
financial conditions, will be rushed before winter
sets in.
Equally encouraging are ' the reports from
the textile industry,- which employs thousands
of workers.
Farmers evidently feel encouraged, too, for
hogs are keeping the. highest, price since last March, and shipments of wheat are taxing railroad facilities in some sections of the country.
One Phase of Disarmament Many persons believe that the limitating of armaments . and the removal of death dealing

for a superintendent. No political faction of Richmond has dared appear before the board to urge the selection of some man who suits it and will be influenced by its whims and desires. The Aboard has been able to go ahead untram'rneled and free to choose the best man for the post, regardless of political affiliations or connections. - Nothing can harm a school system more than the nefarious influence of politics. The school superintendent who is a politician imposes a penalty on the school system, which the parents and pupils pay. Every child is entitled to a good education, and whenever politiciams control the school system, this right of the child is disre- ; garded with impunity. When political bosses are able to pack a
kinds of munitions, and you will prevent war, say they. s
After all, that seems to be a minor consid
eration. So long as men and nations harbor jeal
ousy, rancor and hatred in their hearts against each other, you will have an underlying cause
for war. So long as there are international prob
lems which are unsetled and about which na
tions share hostile views, the provocation for
war remains
Before wars will be impossible, factors that produce wars must be removed. Limitation of armaments, for instance, will not prevent Japan and the United States from engaging in war, if they still cherish hatred for each other, because of the oriental immigration problem or the far
eastern questions.

Two Minutes of Optimism By HERMAN J. STICH
enthusiasm' It is a truism that, will bear constant repetition that nothing great was ever accomplished without enthusiasm. Enthusiasm is the fuel that feeds the human dynamo, generating ideas, industry, invention, advancement. Enthusiasm blazes new trails, charts unmapped seas, pushes ever on
ward and upward, promotes progress and keeps the ball of accomplishment
rolling. Without enthusiasm, humans are meat; with it, they are creators, fountains of thought, sources of force, springs of achievement. Enthusiasm quadruples effort, rekindles ambition, energizes weary mind and muscle, recharges exhausted brain and body batteries, whets wits, infuses undertaking with hope, spirit, dash and victory. Enthusiasm is mind:generated electricity, eating into difficulties, consuming opposition, demolishing resistance. Enthusiasm steals marches on time", sees and seizes opportunities in the embryo, makes short shrift of the "impossible," turns toil to pleasure and pleasure to treasure, makes average men super-men. Enthusiasm makes for warmth, for cordiality, for heartiness; it lights the torch of cheer; it heightens the flame of fervor; it makes you chipper as a lark, animated as a bee; it forces you forward, eager, strenuous, resolute, irresistable. Enthusiasm scorns the bit of tradition, daily upsets established inefficiencies and 6ets up "the better way," builds skyscrapers and out of Cathay's castles, polishes the silver lining on dark clouds, transmutes promise into performance . Enthusiasm moves the world; it is the divine spark that lights the human fuse, that explodes the bomb of mechanical, industrial and intellectual attainment and leadership; it mothers venture, nurtures persistence, fathers success. Tho difference between a stagnant pool and Niagara i3 enthusiasm also bctweena tailendcr and a topnotcher.

Count Plunkett's son, Joseph Mary, a young poet, and dramatist of great promise, was executed Easter week for his part in the rising. He was one of the seven signatories of the proclamation of the Irish republic. Two younger sons also were arrested and are still in jail. Count Plunkett was elected to the British house of commons some years ago, but as a Sinn Feiner in good standing, refused to take his seat

WONDERING WHY
Men 6end their autos roaring along the midnight street, disturbing people
snoring, destroying slumbers sweet;
with cutouts madly coughing, and pistons whanging loud, we hear them
in the offing, the foolish, fathead
crowd. There is no sense, beshrew it, in racketing along; I wonder why they do it, when they must know it's
wrong. Speed fiends, in all the papers, read tales of death and wrecks; be
cause of speed fiend capers, men carry
broken flecks; and to the boneyajd, daily, dead men in hearses go, because the speed fiends gayly refuse to
travel slow. Cops run them down and
pinch them, the while . some victim
groans, and Justice, which should cinch them. Just fines them seven
bones. Such leniency's a blunder
they .pay without a tear, then scorch
again like thunder, and kill an auc
tioneer. 'Tis wicked to pursue it, this
vicious course and vain; I wonder
why they do it why not be safe and
sane? I drive my fiery auto, a thing of
brutal power, by fen ayd weir and grotto, at fifteen miles an hour. And though for years I've driven my bus
along the pave, I've seat no guy un-
shriven to fill an early rave. I've caused no sore contusion with -fender
or with hood but, haply, in conclusion,
I d better knock on wood.

TODAY'S TALK
By George Matthew Adams, Author of ?You Can", "Take If, "Up" ON MAKING GOOD - Most men make good because they HAVE to! It is not until one is driven to dire necessity that the pride of winning seems to assert itself in all its strength and glory. Early in his career in Chicago, tho elder Cudahy, the packer, failed for nearly $7,000,000. His creditors not knowing the man offered to settle for 25 cents on the dollar. The offer was refused. A few years later, this Michael Cudahy gave a big dinner to which these same creditors were invited. Under each plate was found a check for the amount owed each man by Cudahy with 6 per cent interest added! Cudahy had made good with those who early had faith in him. But in a much larger sense he made good with himself. It is a very good thing not to know how to fail. And there are those who do not know how. Today I talked with a brilliant writer. He told me that be had been living on next to nothing for weeks' while he worked on a play which he hoped would be the greatest thing he had ever done. I offered my little help, for I have always believed in him. But he refused it, saying: "No, I determined to put this through at all costs to drive myself to any privation that it might be achieved." When I was a boy in high school, I went to hear a very inspiring lecturer, Prof. John B. De Motte. One sentence took a seat in my memory and has remained there. Here it is: "Success means saci rifice." As the soldier nears the decisive battle, he throws away every part f his equipment that he can. He strips for finalities. He who wins, squeezes every ounce of pessimism from his make-up. Also if you would make good, you cannot allow yourself to be a lependent in any sense of the word. Winners all too often have to walk alone a great part of their route to victory. And most warriors are battle scarred! With that mystical, unlfaid. deep-set look in their eyes.
You can make good if you decide to pay.

Answers to Questions
R- F. Please let me know what was
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty concerning
the Panama canal Lord Pauncefote, a noted British diplomatist, and from 18S9 to 1902 ambassador from Engto the United States, carried through the revision of the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, on the subject of Panama canal the new treaty was signed at Washington. D. C, Nov. IS, 1901, by Lord Pouncefote for Great Britain and bv
John Hays, secretary of state, for the
unuea tsttates, and subsequently ratified by the two powers concerned. It made possible the construction of the Panama canal satisfactorily by the United States, which could not have done while the Clayton-Bulwer treaty remained in force.' Pupil Who is Drinkwater, author of the play, "Abraham Lincoln?" Is he an American? John Drinkwater is an English poet, and critic, born in 18S2. He married Kathleen Walpole. of Bilney Norfolk, England, in 1906. Drinkwater was educated at Oxford high school. He did not start out in life as a writer, but spent 12 years in the insurance business. He was active in the founding of "The Pilgrim Players," and is now manager of its development, the Birmingham Repertory theatre. That Mr. Drinkwater is a gifted writer is shown in the work he has done in the past few years. His writtings have embraced drama, poetry and prose, and he is also known as a critic of discernment. His "Abraham Lincoln" has brought him prominently to the mind of Americans. Reader may obtain answer to questions by writing: The Palladium Qu'wtlons and Answers department.

Dinner Stories
The city visitor was consulting the oldest inhabitant. "How many people in this town now?" he asked. "Twenty-five, sir." "How many - did you have last year?" "Twenty-five, sir." "That's strange. Aren't there any babies ever born in this town?" "Yes, sir. But most every time a baby is born, somebody leaves town." Rose, the garrulous domestic, can give you facts of history international, dramatic, scandalous right off the bat without a moment's hesitation. "How do you manage to remember all these things, Rose?" inquired her employer the other day. Then Rose came back with the Infallible rule for memory training. "I'll tell ye, ma'am," says she, "All
