Editor Palladium:
I noticed In last nights copy Of
your paper an editorial about this
country not being able to raise an
army. Now, the question Is. who is
at fault? Why. the people are them
selves for letting congress stand, and
let the civil service rob the ex-soldier
OF his rights. Is it not fact that in
all the nations OF Europe that an ex-
soldier stands first in government
Jobs? An ex-soldier there has a
chance to live and be respected. But
here they are made paupers. After
they have done their duty to their
country, they are in poor health. Even
If they apply for pension, they con-
slider a man has no right to pension
unless he has a big hospital record.
And that is why the best soldier is
pushed out. Because good men go
into the army in time of war for
the love they have for the country
and not selfish interest hospital graft.
Would it not be better to see the pen
sion department consider a mans
merits than his hospital graft? Give
the man credit for what he has done
for his country. And consider an ex-
soldier for his true value and you will
get getter grade Of men in the army
and men will enlist when the country
is in danger. Did President Wilson
appoint any Spanish American war
veterans? Why did he appoint
man from Canada secretary of the in.
terror? Did he ever do anything to
merit this job? Now is the time to
set the example before young men
just enlisting. Show them that the
people of this country have respect
for the ex.soldier, and he will be con-
sidered by his true merits. And you
will always have excellent men In the
army. Now then, let the people raise
up and demand that congress sweep
graft out of the civil service depart
ment. Let US have less red tape and
more honest service. There is where
all the trouble lays. Start now-go
after our congress-pass a law that
every man in congress that votes
against an ex-soldier sight drafts him
on the spot.

(sic) the Centennial celebration? II you want
street carnival, 60 to it, but In the name OF the
State we profess to honor. don't masquerade II
under the name Of Centennial observance.
After having attended practically all the page
ants given thus far in connection with the Cen
tennial observance. the Director Of the Commits
sion has become thoroughly convinced that the
free pageant IS mistake. It means such i'm
mense crowds that the successful production OF
the pageant Is impossible In day when the
poorest have money with which to patronize the
movie. q moderate admission fee is not prohibi-
tive. It merely serves to distinguish between
those who have an intelligent interest and those
who are attracted solely by "free show" 1t is
mistaken generosity that would give something
for nothing to the whole community at the ex-
pense Of the few. It is on a par with the old
free and easy way of dispensing charity. It pau
perizes the public.
A well prepared pageant costs money. 1t
should be community effort, not the work and
expense of few for the free enjoyment of the
many. It is worth seeing and worth paying for.
Furthermore charge for admission makes pos
sibe the erection Of an adequate grand stand,
without which an audience can hardly be accom-
modated and the performance appreciated. Those
who support the pageant should have the right to
enjoy it and should be protected against the
free show" parasites who crowd in and take con-
troll of the situation. The pageant should be a
"pay as you enter institution, to secure proper
results. Don't pauperize the public.

Extensive Amusement Mummery

The director of the Indiana centennial COM
mission in current letter directs attention to the
cheap carnival shows that often degrade centen-
NAL celebrations. He insists that high class
pageantry loses its effect if snake women, div
ing women, contortionists and other amusement
freaks are permitted to ply their trade along side
Of the dignified spectacle that hard working
committee has prepared. The director has issued
the following statement:
In the name of the Centennial Commission,
an earnest and vigorous protest is made against
COMPROMISING the Centennial observance in Ind
lana by the introduction of street fair and carni-
val attractions. The latter have well nigh ruined
the effect Of few otherwise highly commenda-
BILE celebrations. The meager patronage which
they have received is encouraging it is true, and
refutation of the claim that the people demand
such tawdry and vulgar attractions Yet the
nosome pestilence of barking spielers, calling
their high class" attractions 80 carefully Sc
lected by the committee in charge" hopelessly
cheapened the whole celebration. Again we ask,
what have the snake woman, the diving girls the
contortionist, the cycling whirlwinds, and their
numerous kind, to do with fitting observance of
our States Centennial anniversary? 1t is diff
cult to see how they may be included in the three
fold purpose of the observance as being either
historical, patriotic or educational. The only ex-
cuse left is financial, and little be said for
the public spirit of town that demands such to
help defray expenses.
The street carnival and Centennial celebra-
ton are as unmxable as oil and water. Their
purposes are as different as the classes of people
to which they appeal Why make travesty of
patriotism and state loyalty in 1916? Why i'm
pugn the intelligence of our citizenship by SER
iousy advertising the securing Of the most care

VERDICT FOR RAILROAD.
Court Directs Finding in Case Of James
vs., M, 4 st. L.

Judge Cummings this forenoon d.
rected verdict for the defendant rail-
road companies in the case brought by
the death Of his wife. Mrs. Ida NJ.
Lawrence James. administrator. for
James. Suit was brought for $4,000
for the accidental killing OF Mrs.
James who was run down by an Iowa
Central train between Fourth and
Fifth streets six years ago.
The motion for a directed verdict
was filed when the evidence was all in
Thursday afternoon. The motion was
based on the evidence that Mrs. James
was negligent and that such negi-
gence had contributed to cause her
death and in addition that she was
trespassirg on the company's right Of
way. Mrs. James, who was deaf. was
run down while walking on the track.
Judge Cummings supported this view
Of the case. The attorneys for the
plaintiff argued that the question OF
negligence was a question of fact for
the jury to decide pleading the doc
trine of last fair chance, under
which the railroads enginemen should
have stopped the train when they saw
that Mrs. James paid no attention tc
the whistle and made no effort to gel
off the track. The evidence showed
that Mrs James did not hear the train
and did not know it vas coming. The
engnemen. however, did not know tina
she was deaf. it was shown.
