Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and thar is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, ana when
it is entirely clos ed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever: nine cases out of
ten are caused by Catarrh. which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by Halls

Alfred Bavis

The Palladiums readers have been greatly
interested and impressed by series of articles
which appeared in this paper, written by Alfred
Bavis, dealing with affairs of the City of
Richmond.
These articles have truthfully and accurately
exposed numerous deplorable conditions begotten
by irresponsible and inefficient administration
of municipal affairs for number of years, under
both Democratic and Republican mayors.
Mr.. Bavis was prompted to write these arti-
cles to show his fellow citizens the absolute need
of introducing reforms into our city government
and so successful has been this effort on his part
that he is receiving the usual reward for
display of good citizenship.
1t has been openly charged by Zimmerman
henchmen that his exposures were purchased at
so much per column by the Palladium. To all
fair minded people who acquainted with Mr..
Bavis, denial of this charge on the part Of the
Palladium is superfluous, but for the informa-
ton of such citizens who do not know this en-
thusiastic and unselfish advocate of good gov
eminent the Palladium desires to label this
charge as an unqualified fasehood. Mr.. Bavis
is too valuable citizen of Richmond to patiently
witness him being made a target for unscrupu-
lous political mud heavers
The charge of Mr.. Edgar Tiff that Mr.. Bavis
municipal affairs to injure the Republican may
orally candidate, Dr. w. w. Zimmerman, is too
absurd to warrant any discussion of it's merits.
Personal attacks never refute facts but this
was the method employed by Mr.. Tiff in a des-
perate attempt to offset the damaging effects
Mr.. Bavis's exposition of municipal msgovern-
ment would have the organization of which
Mr.. Tiff is chairman.
If the Republican chairman will lay aside per-
sonalities which do not enter into this campaign,
and will attempt to make some intelligent reply
to the indictment returned against Zimmerman
ism by Mr.. Bavis, the latter will be justified in
entering into discussion with him the af-
fairs of our city government.
However, the Palladium does not anticipate
that Mr.. Tiff will be so rash as to risk such dis
cusson.
The Palladium knows that what charges Mr..
Bavis has preferred against the Zimmerman ad-
ministration are founded irrefutable facts,
and were drafted after thorough and pains
taking investigation.

Treasurer Asks Board For
Road Tax Decision.

Another query was sent to the state
board Of accounts today by Treasurer
Chamness. asking that a written deci-
sion be sent covering the law on
working out taxes The illness of
Judge Cox. advisor OF the board. has
prevented a decision being sent TO the
frst letter Mr. Chamness wrote.
MIR. Chamness asked the question:
can man work out more than $50 in
taxes in any township even though he
has property in several road dis
triCts?" He also asked for information
regarding the working out OF tax on
real and personal property, there be
ing a contention that these taxes can
be worked out separately.
MIR ChamneSs received the Official

state from Indianapolis some time ago
but he desires the written decision
for publication.

The Failure of Goodness.

Ten years ago Lincoln Steffens issued a siz-
cling book on "The Shame of the Cities" mas
terpiece of high class undertaking, its pages
cracked and famed with hot denunciation of ex-
listing municipal conditions. Americas most
highly priced towns were laid under the micro
scope by this sleuth of investigation and every
rotten spot given pitiless publicity. How New
York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cincinnati and doz-
ems of other cities are wasting money, maladmin-
stering public affairs, letting thousands die
through careless sanitation, buying and selling
votes, grating, cheating, and so forth, made
plain in many pages of burning sentences.
And what was the remedy proposed for this
too obvious condition? Simply this, that these
towns elect honest men for office. In other
words, Mr.. Steffens argued that towns are bad
because officials are bad; that towns may be
made good by electng good men to office.
Since then number of big municipalities
have followed Mr.. Steffens advice and placed a
set of reformers in power. But strange to say
the scheme hasn't worked Reform has come
into disrepute and the idea proved failure. The
reformer theory the good man scheme, has
been completely exploded. With the best of men
in office public money has continued mysterious
ly to melt away, health departments have been
negligent streets have gone unrepared extrava-
gance unchecked, and taxes have continued to
mount.
And why? Because it is not good men that
is needed but efficient men, which is quite diff
ferent thing
Municipal administration is special work
occurring training and fitness. 1t is clearly diff
ferentiated from other forms of work as medi-
cine is differentiated from law.

The Great Problem OF Labor Lost.

Wages are now at the highest poin'
that they have ever reached and were
raised TO that point by the Protec-
tive Tariff. American wases are
double and treble the wages in Eu-
rope and only because of the Protec-
tive Tariff. That support has been
cut away by the new Tariff law. Can
high wages be sustained without this
support?
The answer to the question is soon
to come. Business and manufactur-
ing must adjust themselves to the
new conditions. II is admitted at
Washington that some industries
must be abandoned as competition
with Europe labor will be hopeless.
1t is almost logically conceded that
the workingman must sive up some
part of his wage to meet the new
conditions.
And the prices of necessaries are
going up instead Of going down.
Higher prices and lower wages is TO
be the price of Tariff reform.
New Jersey has been hard hit in
her great industrial interests. Her
working people do not yet realize
the severity of the blow, because
its effects are only beginning to be
felt by manufacturers, and they are
studying how they may keep on their

to their hands.
The great problem is labor cost.

Clean Case of Tariff to Blame.

IL you want to know how the Tar
iff increases the cost OF living. take
the case of eggs. Since the duty OF
five cents a dozen was removed by
the Underwood-S law the
price OF eggs has increased from 10
to 20 cents a dozen. Under Tariff
of a cent and half pound meat
went up 10 cents a pound. and has
gone still higher since meat was plac-
ed on the free list. So 1t becomes
perfectly plain that the Tariff was
to blame when there was Tariff
on eggs and meat, and that the Tar
