THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, 1ND., WEDNESDAY, AUG. 31, 1921.
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. MEMBER OF 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. All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Disarmament Disarmament, as suggested by President
Harding, has its supporters not only among the workers, but 'also among the industrial leaders
whose plants have made money on government orders for armor plate and munitions.
Judge Gary, head of the United States Steel
corporation, recently said: "We sincerely hope that a binding arrange
ment will be consummated providing for a defi
nite and limited control of military extensions, because otherwise there will be a continuance of
annual expenditures aggregating billions of dol
lars which will lead to bankruptcy on the part of
many,, if not most, countries.
"To insure success in the present effort there must be full and continuous information given
to all countries as to what each one is doing or
contemplates concerning military strength and
extensions."
Charles M. Schwab, another steel king, is
ardently in favor of a reduction in armaments
The world cannot afford to be warlike these
days. Discounting" the moral grounds entirely,
the common sense and businesslike viewpoint
emphatically asks for a cessation of enormous
expenditures for war purposes.
The combined national debts of the world today reach the vast total of $293,651,000,000 compared with $35,069,000,000 in 1914. The interest charge on these obligations . amount to $11,886,000,000 annually. Putting it in other words, the people of the world are today paying one-third as much in interest charges alone as their combined national debts amounted to seven years ago. The per capita figures for the European countries are staggering. Great Britain's per capita debt is $814.08; France, $1,218.10; Germany, $1,202.76; Austria, $2,119.38; Italy, $515.51.' That of the United States is $224.81. By multiplying these figures by five, you have the debt per average family. Disarmament must come because the world
cannot afford to pay the costs of preparing fori ma n-nA Avvarnnv in IT Trtrt tmiiaVi foT"i?ol ia
withdrawn from productive purposes and too
many persons are taken out of the industries to engage in destruction of property and accumulated wealth. The nations of the globe cannot pay the costs of the past wars and keep on spending money preparing for future wars. Bankruptcy is imminent if they persist in that course. Their statesmen see the handwriting on the wall.
Ain't it a Grand and Glorious Feeling!
The Constitutional Amendments Voters of Wayne county, along with those .of other political units of Indiana, will vote on proposed amendments to the state constitution next Tuesday. A sharp difference of opinion has arisen over the advisability of -accepting most of these proposed changes. A campaign of education has informed the voters of the meaning and contents of the amendments. Their decision will settle the issue. Little interest has been aroused generally
over the election next Tuesday, which will decide the fate of these suggested changes in the basic law of the state. Indiana citizens will make a
mistake in not going to the polls, however. It
matters not how they feel on the whole subject ;
their duty is to register their opinion.
Much of the apathy of voters toward the proposed constitutional changes arises from an op
position toward constant tinkering with organic laws and from a disposition of mind which be
lieves that the founders of the state knew what
they were doing when they wrote the consti
tution. The public has become tired of constantly repeated efforts to attain a Utopian state by the adoption of the reforms suggested by faddists and extremists as panaceas for all our social ills. Most of these alleged cure-alls have not served
the public and have fallen far short of attaining
the desired results. The system of checks and balances devised by the founders of the republic, which were incorporated into the state constitution, will not be given up by the people for commissions and bureaus whose functions are not clearly defined. The public wants its rights set out clearly in laws and wants all official actions restrained strictly within the limitations of the statutes. Its hostility toward alleged cures for all social
ills by legislation probably accounts for the lack
of interest which it is taking in the forthcoming election on the constitutional amendments. It is doubtful if any of them will carry.

Good Evening By ROY K. MOULTON
A WASTE OF WIND. There's a young gentleman In our block who is learning To play the bugle. I have Never been able to figure w hy Anybody would want to play A bugle. It certainly Has been a very painful
Experience for ail concerned. He has got so now that he j Can give a rough sketch i Of most of the bugle calls ! And he attempts to regulate The life of our neighborhood On th regular army plan. At 7 in the morning He sounds the reveille, or Something that approximates it. But it doesn't do any good. Nobody gets up at 7 o'clock. That's the middle of the night. At noon he sounds the mess call, But nobody eats at noon. At 9 o'clock at night He sounds what we suppose I taps. He gets one or two Notes correctly, but nobody Ever goes to bed at 9 o'clock, So this young gentleman Is-wasting a lot of time And wasting enough wind To run all the windmills In Holland twenty-four Hours a day. Or to run Congress steadily for years. THINGS TO THINK ABOUT. The unicorn has one horn and would be a queer looking animal if there would such an animal. Many a man Is never heard of until he gets into the cabinet and even then he tn't. One of the largest pieces of concrete pfofanity In this country is the Croton dam. If the Rocky mountains were spread cut flat on the ground it would be easier to fly over them in an airplane. If a room in the apartment Is too Fmall it can be made larger by taking the wallpaper off. California has the most wonderful climate of any state between Mexico und Oregon. If all the gunpowder In the United States were put in one pile and a match were touched to it it would Mow up.
TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" ROBERT FROST I read in my newspaper the other day a very interesting item. It said that the University of Michigan had engaged a ppet Robert Frost, by name to come there at a salary of $5,000, and to become a part of them. He is not to occupy a dignified chair and hold classes in a cold room. Rather, his job will be to mingle with the students, to talk with them about poetry, to discuss he ideals that the poetic mind naturally creates. Robert Frost is a poet who loves the common things of nature. He sees the beauty in all that is simple and ordinary though, of course, nothing is ordinary to a fine mind. I am sure that the experiment will succeed. This school will grow in breadth because of the presence of this man in their midst. Robert Frost is Just to be himself while he is earning the salary attached to his unique job. He is to prove that beauty is an asset in the world and that without an appreciation of it, as well as a living of it, we shrink in value. ' It will be an inspiring sight to see this poet walk about the campus. Every time the students see him they will be reminded that he is there to make them appreciate beautiful things in which, perhaps, they had seen very little heretofore. Sometime I hope it will come to where great industries will adopt this plan and engage poets and artists to mingle with those who toil. I am of he opinion that to engage a band to play at the noon hour, as workers go and come, would not only add to the happiness of any plant as a whole but would greatly increase the efficiency there. For work is always well done when it is happily done. Much of the trouble with our ordinary life is that it Is wrapped too suffocatingly in routine. There is too little color. Robert Frost will add color to the University of Michigan " by brightening the lives of those who come there to learn. So long as the world lasts, the poet will remain as one of the inspirers of our hope and faith in all things good and great.
Who's Who in the Day's News
PI3CF. J. .MfNIILL
Frof. John McNeill, minister of education in President DeValera's cabinet and speaker of the Dail Eireann, is playing a very prominent part in the present negotiations with Great
Britain, which are xpected to bring peace to Ireland nd Dominion aome rule. Jrof . McNeill comes of a learned family. His brother, Hugh, was protssor of classics ,n the old Royal university of Dub--in, and another jeld an important
josition in the lo--al government
joard of Ireland.
John entered the
high court of justice in Ireland by competitive examination, and was chief of the accountant general in the four courts, Dublin. This posiiton he resigned at the establishment of the National University, some years ago, to take the post of professor of modern Irish history.' John McNeill played an important part in the Irish- volunteer movement. He was strongly censured by some and exonerated by others for countermanding the order to mobilize for the rising of Easter week. His order was again countermanded by Connolly, and resulted in the dramatic meeting which decided the rebellion. He has been very close to DeValera. When he returned from jail he received a tremendous ovation as he passed through the streets of Dublin, and the rumor that he had been discredited, which was spread through this country at that time, was untrue.
the fact that in the old Russian funeral i service three altar candles were light-j ed from one taper. It was considered an act of impiety to make any other lights in groups of three, and therefore ill luck would follow such anj act. j Q. Please tell me the amount of flour middlings, and bran obtained in milling wheat? H. W. G. A. In modern milling over 70 per cent of the wheat is recovered as standard patent flour, about 1 per cent as low-grade flour, about 2 per cent as Red Dog flour, and the remainder as shorts or bran. Q. What game of cards is it easiest to cheat at? W. T. K. A. Few games lend themselves so readily to the operations of the card sharp as the game of Seven-up. Q. What is meant by a Parthian shot? W. S. A. A Parthian shot is a parting shot and takes its name from the method of fighting employed by the Parthians. They were a race of mounted bowmen in Central Asia and their horses were turned as if in flight after each discharge of an arrow. Q. How is chewing tobacco flavored? E. F. G. A. Tobacco is flavored by dipping the leaves into a receptacle containing the sauce used for flavoring. This
I liquid is the result of experiments by
the manufacturers, some using one formula and some another. Licorice paste, cane sugar, maple sugar, and molasses are among the ingredients most commonly used.
Memories of Old Days In This Paper Ten Years Ag Today
F. A. Cotton spoke at the Richmond Chautauqua before the teachers' institute on the country school and its relation to the country life. This special phase of Mr. Cotton's lectures before the institute proved of absorbing interest, as it was a subject that was probably social in character as well as of "educational moment.

THE COOK BOOK The cook book is a noble tome. It's bound in modest gray; the women in my humble home consult it everyday; and thus with queenly grace they sling together noble meals, and that is whv I smile and sing and kick up both "my heels. The cook book's shunned by many dames who look with scorn on grub; their hearts artfivoH nn tinhorn cames out at the
country club. They're wise to all the fiction books that sell bet at the ttore, but gems of thought by gifted cook they look on as a bore. I'm thankful that my womenfolk are not so blamed refined they look on cooking as a joke, or as a beastly grind. They'd rather frame a temping pie, compound a fragrant stew, than argue long and sagely why "Main Street" is false or true. They like to have their share of fun, the joyride and the dance but when the Jamboree is done, the cook book has a chance. That cherished volume then they take, and spread Its leaves apart, and learn just how to make a cake, a doughnut or a tart. And when the cook book stows neglect no happy home is there, Tired Father's works are nearly

the hardships of Iowa pioneer life and tells the story of one of those pioneer women and her granddaughter, who asked: "Grandma, you were here in the early days?" , "Yes. I was a pioneer. "Well, were you poor?" "Yes, we were all poor." "Couldn't you have what you wanted?" "No, I could not." "Did you have no meat?" "No, nothins but venison, wild turkeys, prairie chickens and quail." "Did you have no sugar?" "Nothing but maple sugar." "What did you want that you couldn't get?" "It was New Orleans molasses and salt mackerel."

Imagine the thrill of pride which would fill your being if you overheard that remark and knew it was said about you. Wouldn't you feel that you were a better citizen, a better neighbor, a better father and a better husband if you owned your own home and the land on which it stood? Wouldn't the future look brighter? Wouldn't you feel more secure in either sickness or unemployment if you knew that rent worries were a thing of the past?
