WHEAT MARKET EASED
BY CROP PROSPECTS

CHICAGO, June 21.-Improved crop
prospects in the northwest together
with free offerings in the southwest
tended today to ease the wheat mark

which ranged from the same as yes.

followed by a material downturn for
September, but slight gain for July,
which. however. subsequently disap.
peared.
Forecasts OF untavorable weather
gave temporary strength to corn. Lat
er beArish sentiment predonninated
owing to reports Of continued rains

T0day's Aid to Beauty

Hair is by far the most conspicu-
Gus thing about US and is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or care
less treatment. II we are very care
full in hair washing, we will have vir-
tually no hair troubles. An especially
fine shampoo for this weather, one that
brings out all the natural beauty of the
hair, that dissolves and entirely re-
moves all Sandruff, excess oil and dirt,
can easily be used at trffling expense
by simply dissolving teaspoonful of
canthrox (which you can get at any
druggists) in a cup of hot water. This
makes full cup of shampoo liquid,
enough SO 1t Is easy to apply It to all
the hair instead Of just the top Of the
head. This chemically dfssolves all
impurities and creates q soothing. cool.
ing lather. Rinsing leaves the scalp
spotlessly clean, soft and plant. while
the hair takes on the glossy richness
of natural color, also a fluffiness
which makes 1t seem much heavier
than 1t is. After q canthrox shampoo,
arranging the hair is a pleasure.-Adv.

For a War. Government

The wisdom Of urging the formation Of a war
government by President Wilson is impressive.
BY discarding the party scheme, which prevents
the selection Of the best men in the country, the
president could organize government which
would command confidence, and, we think, re-
tain it.
This is not war government. The men who
manage or who are supposed to manage the coun-
try's affairs in this most difficult and dangerous
period were not chosen for their pre-eminent
ability in the work which they now have to do
The president may have been convinced, and
may be convinced, that he selected able men Of
peculiar ability in the work he gave them, but he
can hardly be convinced that he has the best men
in the country and he must be convinced that the
country needs the best men,
With regard to Secretary Daniels, it is certain
that the country has small confidence in his
ability to administer navy affairs. Daniels is an
amiable man, energetic, and no doubt conscien-
tious, but if he was not the man for the navy be-
fore the war, what possible opinion could be held
of his fitness now?
The government ought to utilize Theodore
Roosevelt. The country must be inspired and it's
confidence must be strengthened Roosevelts
worst enemies will concede that he has dynamic
effect upon morale. He knows how to develop
enthusiasm. He also is an executive. He knows
the navy.
We are not selecting places for the colonel, but
we know that he ought to be used and if he sue
ceeds Daniels it would be known that the gov
eminent had but one intent, and that to win
the war.
Great Britain could not conduct the war upon
party lines, and did not try to do so very long. 1t
could not conduct the war without the aid of its
best men, and the process of elimination went
on regardless of party and personality, until
men were fitted in where they belonged.
We shall be forced to do the same thing, we
believe and the wisdom of doing it early seems
undeniable Chicago Tribune.

Unrest in Germany
Follolcs Americas
Entrance Into War

PARIS, June 21-Jules Camb0n. gen.
eral secretary of the MINISTRY Of for
eign affairs, declared the entrance OF
America into the war had caused ser
ious unrest In Germany In the course
OF an interview with correspondent
Of The Associated Press today. He
said:
'In the hearts Of the French people
who welcomed General Pershing there
was first of all, the desire to reply to
the enthusiastic reception which the
American people gave the French dele
gates, but there was also something
else equally important

ing of close ties that It ID multiplying
its efforts to spread dissension among

Germany's hAndwork and is one Of the
straws showing how uneasy and
troubled Berlin is because Of America.
In France everyone realizes that this
uneasiness and fear are justified

Education to Be Better After War

War always has been associated with an in
terruption of the sciences and arts but President
A. T. Hadley Of Yale University, takes the oppo-
site view in his address before the Senior class.
He believes that the courses of learning will
have increased in usefulness for the country and
be more practical. He said:
"And in Gods good providence we are going
to emerge from the war better place of educa-
ton Than we were at the beginning-not merely
better because the coming generation of stu
dents will be more serious, but better because the
looming generation Of professors and instructors
will be more practical. They will have had a
lesson in adapting means to ends. venture to
hope that when we adjust our courses after the
wars experience, we shall know how to make
our courses more useful to the country in the
best and fullest sense Of the word usefulness"
Education usually responds very slowly to the
development that marks the life Of nation. The
great war is Of such stupendous magnitude that
even the conservative forces of education have
been powerfully influenced and are forced to re-
spend to the changed condition that will result.
The observation of President Hadley is Of in

TO Our City School Board {:


Gentlemen-As you have now had
ample time to learn that 1t is not only
the wish. but the firm intention Of a
large majority Of our citizens to have
the unmerited wrong you have inflict-
ed on a faithful and efficient teacher
properly adjusted by re-instating Prof.
D. D. Ramsey as Principal and play
ground director In the Whitewater
school, this is to inform you that un-
less this is done within few days, it
is the intention of over one thousand

thousand) Of our most substantial
citizens. including bankers, merchants.
manufacturers with their hundreds Of
employees, churches, .Sunday-school
teachers, and many others who have
notified the friends Of Mr.. Ramsey
that they wish to sign, with more than
one thousand who have already put
their names to petitions urging his
prompt reinstatement; we say It is
the intention to take the recent blum
ders OF Giles. Picke,l and the school
board before the city council. since. as
said council has the power to make
(appoint) the school board, they can
also "un-make" II and promptly place
men of moro discretion in the places
you now occupy.
You would have no cause for scor.
Ing our city papers. had you not laid
yourselves SO widely open for criti-
cism in your hasty and ill-Advised
movements. So, we want to tell you
that all friends of good government in
our city schools and Square DEAL
toward all of the teachers and pupils
are proud of our fearless City Press
for having the manhood to expose the
stupidity laundering management you
have recently displayed as school on
Gals. One petition from the White
water district carries nearly Ave hun
dfed names, all urging the retention of
Prot, Ramsey as Principal and play
ground director in their district. This
certainly speaks very highly for his
work and merits In that section of our
city, fact which no able and fair
minded superintendent or school board
can affo1d to ignore.
We do not wonder that Miss Hill re-
signed from the school beard, for what
could any lone woman do against such
autocratio men as Giles, Johnston and
Reid, with Brigadier-Generai Meipol-
der bringing up the rear?

Editor of the Palladium:
Sir-You have seen 1T to connect
me with the non-re-employment of Mr.
Ramsey as principal Of Whitewater
school. Upon the presumption that
you will play fair, want to make a
request of you.
VIII you state definitely and not
merely by implication, that John Mel
polder, general secretary of the So
cial Service Bureau Of Wayne County,
Indiana, was responsible in any way,
either directly or indirectly, or both,
for the non-re-employment by the
Richmond school management, Board
or Superintendent, or both, of Mr.. D.
D. Ramsey as principal of Whitewater
school?
OF course, you have not published
all that you did publish about my
connection with this affair without
having in your possession conclusive
evidence of my guilt You would not
wantouly do any man-even Melpol-
With this evidence, then, In your pos
session-which am not now asking
You to disclose, unless You choose to
do So you certainly will not object
to make a simple. unqualified, straight
forward statement that Melpolder is
In some way responsible for the non.
l e-employment OF Mr.. Ramsey
I ask you to do this in the light of
what read in your issue of Tuesday,
June the 10Th. In the editorial headed
"Elliott's Reply" l read the state
ment which quote herewith: Amer
leans do not like gumshoe methods
end pussyfoot tactics. Play the game
above board where all of US can see
the cards"
