The Cigaret Finds a Champion

DR.. Kings statement that the cigaret is not
as harmful as cigar or pipe may occasion surprise
among the laity The cigaret has come in for
so much criticism that many have felt the cigar
or pipe were comparatively harmless.
AS matter of fact, all of tobacco is
harmful to the human system in degrees vary
ing with the amount used and in what form.
The moderate cigaret user suffers less harm than
do users of the other forms. In cigarets,
bustion is more perfect and, Dr. King pointed
out there is far less tobacco to give off nicotine
The Palladium is not tobacco teetotaler by
any means. Yet it recognizes some of the harm
full aspects of tobacco using. Tobacco causes
lowering of the bodys vitality, making it more
susceptible to inroads from all disease germs. 1t
is particularly dangerous to those suffering with
kidney trouble on account of it's effect on the
blood pressure and heart.
Moderation is the advice would offer all
tobacco users in normal health. Prohibition? ?
No, because temperance in the use of food will
prolong more lives than will be saved by prohib-
iting the use of tobacco. And true temperance
is question of individual training.

The invention of the art of defini-

ciaIism," there are as many kinds
as varieties Of Heinz pickles.
Socialism means all government
without individual liberty.
Indiana Socialists propose the
abolition of rent, interest and profit,
and the substitution of collective
or government ownership of practI-
caIiy every form of property.
Fatal defect of this-what is ev-
erybody's business is nobody's bus
mess.
Collective ownership would Gre

Anarchism means no government
at all.
1t is the widest eyed and most
impossible night mare evolved so
far.
Government like religion, arises

Government ownership as pro-
posed by socialism would hit far
mer hardest.
Besides his stock, seed and i'm
pIements, let alone land, even his
wife's hens, cream separator and
churn would become governments.
Who would set the wage scale
then?
The socialist overseers.

Eighth and Main Congestion

An ordinance has been introduced into coun-
Gil prohibiting rigs and automobiles from stop
ping in front of stores on either side OF Main
street, within ITS feet from either direction OF
Eighth and Main streets.
This ordinance is aimed at partial proven
ton of the congested condition of that import
ant corner every fifteen minutes when every
street car in Richmond congregates there Tor
transfer purposes.
The Palladium believes council is being asked
to penalize the wrong parties. Instead of drlv-
ing off the vehicles and inj uring the merchants
trade, it will be far wiser and more efficient to
put stop to the ery-fifteen-minute meetings
of the street cars.
Let the street cars schedules be so changed
that they will arrive at Eighth and Main at diff
ferent minutes, unload their passengers and i'm
mediately proceed Transferring can be as
easily accomplished this way as by allowing ev-
cry car in the city to meet at that corner at the
same time. 1t is the two or three minute wait
of the cars there each time that produces the
congestion.
Abolish the situation created by the cars and
the congestion will be largely thing of the past.

A Successful Event

Earham's 1913 commencement has passed
into history, and despite the unfortunate
ptomaine poisoning incident, it probably will
take it's place in the annals of the institution as
the greatest of the kind so far held
The Homecoming feature a happy
thought and it's execution most capably man.
aged The 1000 odd of Earlham alumni and
friends will remember their visit "home" in hap
py ven The older ones particularly will be
thankful for the few days return not only to
scenes of their youth, but even of fleeing feel
ings of the return of youth itself.
Both those who have been "out'' in the world
for years and those who were graduated yester-
day had much to learn from the splendid address,
es of Professor Russell and Dean Perisho. In
the spirit of modern seeking after social justice
both these added imperishabe features to
the commencement.

means no government at all. And yet
Kropotkin and his followers call them
selves Notwithstanding. and advo-
cate the abolition of all government,
all interest on money, all profit, rent
and private ownership. Under their
rule to keep a private bakery or meat
shop for profit would be a crime. The
people must appropriate everything
and everybody must own a share. The
fatal defect of this is covered by the
old adage that what is everybody's
business is nobody's business.
The Indiana Socialists do not advo-
cate the abolition of government. They
do however, propose to wipe out
rent, interest and all profits" and to
create "a collective ownership of all
lands, mines, factories, railroads, ex-
press, telephone, telegraph, light, wa
ter and heat plants, stores, farms, ev-
cry kind of business run for profit"
To repeat, they do not advocate the
ton of government of helpless
slaves and ninnies.
Anarchism, Wild Eyed Night Mare.
The Anarchist proposition to abolish
all government is the wildest-eyed
night mare that ever sent to fever
heat the brain of man. You can no
more destroy government than you
can stop the blowing of the winds or
calm the dashing pillows of the sea.
Whenever and wherever men have
lived together some kind of govern
ment has sprung forth as grass covers
the earth after an upheaval. The low
est savage tribes have it. Gregarious
animals have leaders. Solomon should
have said, GO to the Ant, thou Anar-
chist!"
Kropotkin describes the coming So
cial revolution when all houses shall
be seized by "the people" and proper
toned more equally. The poor who
have lived in one room shall have
steam heated flats. The rich shall live
, in one room. To make this new deal a
committee shall be delegated with full
power etc. But hold on! There is to be
no government. Now we know that the
moment number of people assembled
| delegate their power and set up rules
that moment government begins. Thus
anarchy is in the very nature of things
an impossibility. Nothing but suspen-
sion of the laws of gravitation and so
cial cohesion can produce it and the
power to repeal these laws lies not
even in an Indiana legislature.
Government, A Necessary EVIL.
Government like religion, arises
from our necessities and our wicked
ness. Government is a necessary evil
because we are human. Both govern
ment and religion may assume various
shapes and forms. They may be steep

The Passionate Shepherd to His Love

Come live with me and be my Love-
And will all the pleasures prove
That hills and Valleys dales and fields,
Or woods or sleepy mountain yields
And will sit upon the rocks,
And the shepherds feed their flocks
By shallow rivers to whose falls
Melodous birds sing madrigas.
And thousand fragrant poses;
A cap of flowers and kirte
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from pretty lambs pull;
Fair-lined slippers for the cold
With buckles of the purest gold
A belt of straw and ivy buds
With coral clasps and amber studs;
And if these pleasures may thee move,
Come live with me and be my Love.
The shepherd SWANS shall dance and sing
For thy delight, each May morning;
If these delights thy mind may move
Then live with and be my Love

The McNab Case

In some respects the McNab case is to the
Wilson administration what the Ballenger-G CLAWS
to the Taft regime.
With this difference.
CLAWS was of Taft's own political faith. There
chance to hint at partisan politics in the
bold stand taken by CLAWS in showing up his
chief of department.
McNab is Republican. There is the chance
that he has taken advantage of quick action in
resigning to attempt to put the Democratic ad-
ministration in hole.
President Wilson has accepted McNab's
resignation, but he has not so far attempted to
shield Attorney General McReynolds or Secre-
tary of Commerce and Labor Wilson, through
subterfuge or signing false public documents.
Taft did both these things
From present indications, therefore, if any
mistakes made by the president in handling
the McNab they will be the mistakes that
any human being might unwittngly make.
The American people can forgive these kinds
of mistakes.
They did not forgive the Taft mistakes in
the Ballenger case because they appeared to be
founded the idea that the American people
were set of brainless fools who would swallow
anything.

Here we are up against the fight

II capital is the surplus one has be-

error to suppose that a capitalist is
necessarily man of vast wealth. The
widow who buys a COW and peddles
milk is a capitalist viii the Socialist
define her COW as wealth or capital
Which now? If the cow is capital. then
it belongs to the public. If wealth she
can keep it. but she mustn't sell any

wealth or capital shall belong to the
public. Then the widow loses her COW.

Farmer. The Greatest Sufferer.

! The farmer will be the greatest suf-
| ferer under this condition. He invests
| his private wealth in horses. cows,
sheep, hogs, farming implements, in
| barns, pastures, fields, seeds, etc. AS
these are for the means of production
they are capital and must be given up.
Even his wife's hens, the churn and
cream separator must succumb to pub
| lie ownership.
, This social revolution would not be
step forward but a leap into the dis
! tress and miseries of the dark ages.
| What was private wealth in those days
| before capital, exchange, banks and
peaceful commerce came from their
hiding places? 1t was a bag or iron
chest of money hidden in the vaults or
! feudal castles or cellars of churches.
Money is like blood, it is of no value
unless it circulates. 1t circulates
/ through investments and loans. 1t is
most useful when turned into capital
/ Make it the law that wealth" can be
held privately and capital" must be
surrendered to the public, and every
man will draw in his capital" and con-
vert it into private wealth." and the
only way to escape confiscation would
be to hoard or bury the coin. The mise
ries flowing from such an insane and
barbarous system would fall the most
heavily upon the poor.
Socialism, A Dream.
Socialism is a dream. Would to God
that it might bear rich fruit and re-
| duce or destroy the miseries of the
over-worked, the underpaid, the sub
merged, the poor, the rich, the lame.

! literary utopias like Plato's "Repub-

Sum-" More's Utopia" Harrington's
"Oceana," and Bellamy's Looking
Backward" They all failed. In our des-
pair we go back to our old school song.
What a World this might be If
hearts were only kind"
| AS this peopled world is constituted,
! however, we see that even kindness.
| like forbearance, may sometimes
cease to be a virtue and become a vice.
, 1t is a very wise man who can bestow

kindness to the widow with her capt.
talized COW? Socialism says, you can
have as private wealth all the furni-
ture, books, and pictures you can get
according to the value of your labor"
To the widow it says you shall not
keep a cow to produce means to buy
pictures and books" You will be paid
according to the value of your labor in
milking the public or socialized COWS"
She is thus driven to the Socialist COW
pens and will be paid so much per.
Who will set the scale of wages for
milking municipal COWS? oh, the So
cialist overseers will attend to that all
right.
