A newspaper man was called upon
today to pinch hit" for Mayor Rob-
bins, now in Indianapolis, as the pre-
siding justice of the city court.
One sorry victim was hailed into his
presence to answer to a charge of pub
lie intoxication, said victim, who gave
his name as George Blitt, residence in
Cincinnati, taking the pledge, aided
and abetted by the Judge pro TEN.
This was the first time this ceremony
had been performed in open court.
The newspaper man possessed a
very hazy knowledge of the pledge
ceremony, but Prosecutor Keller was
courteous enough to declare that the
oath was administered in an exceed
ingly binding if not letter correct
form. Blitt having sworn to abstain
from the use of intoxicating liquors
during the course Of his natural life
was dismissed on his own recogniz-
ance, to appear tomorrow morning at
o'clock in the event the state de-
sires to prosecute the case against
him. Prosecutor Keller requested this
action on the ground that all the

SUBURBAN DAY
ATTRACTS MANY
TO CITY STORES

So successful was the first suburban
trading day in Richmond, yesterday,
that local merchants have decided to
make 1t permanent feature and from
now on Wednesday of each week will
be suburban day.
Hundreds of out Of town people were
attracted to Richmond yesterday, some
coming from points as far distant
from Richmond as New Castle. Attrac-
tive bargains were offered by the va
rlous merchants who co-operated with
The Palladium in promoting the ven
ture, and the shoppers were as pleased
with the bargains they secured as the
merchants were with the exceptionally
heavy mid week patronage.
SUBURBAN day was the first cooper
ative plan undertaken by local mer-
chants in many months and it was an
eloquent lesson to them of the benefits
to be obtained by united action in pro-
noting business. This they all admit.
Comments of Merchants.
The following were comments made
by several business men today on the
result of Richmond's first suburban
trading day:
David Teeple of the Teeple Shoe
company: I'VE were busy all day and
could have used two or three addition
al clerks. The venture was very sat
isfactory success"
Walter Leifheit of the Walk Over
Shoe company: Eve were more than
pleased with the result of suburban
day"
Charles Druitt of the Druitt Broth
ers Furniture company: I'VE believe
the suburban day plan is going to be
great success. We did very good
business, even selling a truck load of
furniture to New Castle patrons"
Charles Igleman of the Nusbaum
Dry Goods company: Suburban day
was proved to be a good cooperative
plan to increase business. We enjoyed
the largest mid-week patronage in
many months"
Frank Hane- of the Knollenberg
Dry Goods company: 1T was surpris-
ing to see the number of out of town
people who came to the city yesterday
to do their shopping. This is more re-
markable when you consider the fact
that these are very busy days on the
farms"

"The violation of the command
ments by nations is not always but
usually due to selfishness-the putting
of supposed material advantages be-
fore obedience to the divine law.
IF 1 have made it clear that the
doctrine that might makes right is
most common cause of war. We may
pass to the consideration of a maxim
quite sure to be applied in war, name
ly. that like cures like the theory on
which retaliation rests.
Retaliation is rivalry in wrong do
ing-a neck and neck race toward the
bottomless pit And yet there are many
believers in the gospel of force who
have brought themselves to think that
cruelty could be cured by greater cru
city.
But might must find a pretext for
arming itself and what is the pretext?
There was time when men openly
advocated war as thing to be de-
sired; commended it to each genera
ton as sort of tonic to tone up the
moral system and prevent degeneracy,
but we have passed that day.
Provokes War.
Instead of preventing war prepared
ness provokes war, because it is i'm
possible to coerce the people into
bearing the burdens incident to in
creasing the continuous preparation,
without cultivating hatred as if it
were a national virtue. There must be
some one to fear; some other prepar-
ing nation that must be represented as
plotting for war.
How can preparedness prevent
war if all prepare? Each step taken
by one nation toward more complete
preparedness excites the other nations
to additional purchases and new levies
until all have exhausted their produc.
tive industries and menaced their NOR
al progress.
IF any nation is without excuse for
entering into a mad rivalry with the
belligerent nations in preparation for
war it is the United States. We are
protected on each side by thousands
of miles of ocean and this possession
is worth more to us than any number
of battleships. We have an additional
protection in the fact, known to every
one, that we have the men with whom
to form an army of defense if we are
ever attacked and it is known also
that we have the money, too, more
money than we ever would have had
if all the surplus earnings Of the peo-
pie had been invested in armament
We not only do not need additional
preparation but we are fortunate in
not having it since it seems impossi-
BILE for nation to have what is called
preparedness without having along
with it a disposition to use its prepar
edness on the slightest provocation.
Happy for our nation that we have
in the White House at this time
president who believes in setting the
whole world a good example, instead
Of following the bad example which it
sets in this matter. What an unspeaka-
BILE misfortune it would have been it,
in such an hour as this, the nation
had been under the leadership of a
president inflamed by the false phil
osophy which has plunged Europe into
the abyss of war;

DISCUSS FORMATION
OF LEAGUE OF PEACE
TO CHECK WARFARE
Prominent Men Gather at
Philadelphia in Ernest Eff
fort to Find Solution for
War Problems.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June IL
Prominent Americans from many
cities met here in Independence Hall
today to discuss the formation of a
League of Peace or League of
Nations.
The conference was called by COM
mittee of one hundred, including gov
errors of states, college presidents,
tinanciers, diplomatists and other
eminent men. EX-President William
H. Taft is the leading spirit in bring
ing about the meeting. The confer
ence has the unofficial Endorsement of
President Wilson.
The conference discussed among
others the proposal that the signatory
powers to a new world of peace league
treaty shall Jointly use military forces
to prevent any one of theim number
from going to war, or committing acts
of hostility against another signatory
until the question at issue has been
submitted for arbitration. The pro-
posals were drawn up by Mr.. Taft,
who presided at today's meeting.
The conference had it's origin at a
series of meetings held at the Cen
fury club in New York City on Janu-
airy Is and 81, March 80 and April 8.
The proposals are regarded as vast
ly more important and ambitious than
anything that has been undertaken
heretofore by advocates of interna-
tional peace. Certain of the ideas en-
dorsed by Viscount Bryce are included
and President Wilson, it is understood,
was consulted.
For diplomatic reasons, however,
the administration will not be repre-
scented at the conference.

this week, under the direction of the
state department of agriculture, to
San Francisco to compete in the ex-

has promised to duplicate all prizes
awarded by the exposition manage
ment to Washington entries.
Whether Washington would be en-
abled to participate seemed doubtful
for a time, California authorities
threatening to bar the exhibits be-
cause pen of Iowa swine had been
exhibited at the Spokane and North

Commissioner of Agriculture H. T.
Graves that the Eastern hogs had
been carefully inspected to prevent
the importation of foot and mouth
disease, this objection was with
drawn.
