The Coal Dumping Ordinance

The City Council ought to vote down decisive
ly the ordinance designed to prevent the dump
ing of coal and other fuel on sidewalks.
There are hundreds of men in Richmond who
need the seventy-five cents ton that is charged
for carrying coal from the wagon to the base
ment or shed. If man buys ten tons of COAL he
will save $3.50 by carrying it in himself. The
proposed ordinance would prevent this.
What damage can be done to the curb, street
or sidewalk by dumping coal and letting it stay
there until worker is able to carry it in him.

age to curbs by violently backing against then.
and chipping the surface than any amount of
coal would do.
Restrictive laws are needed in every COM
munity, but the spirit of reform can be carried
too far. The proposed measure has no merit in
it, 1t will work hardship on many poor man.
Indefinite postponement is the best cure for
a measure of this kind.

The Kruger Incident

The action against DR.. Kruger originated in
patriotic motives and must be interpreted in the
light of intense loyalty and fidelity to the best
interests of the country.
Sheriff Carr, County Treasurer Weidner and
Deputy Treasurer Ali are men of sterling repu-
tation and unquestioned veracity in this COM
munity. They would not have affixed their
signatures to the affidavits had they not
contained the truth Hence the possibility of a
discrepancy between what DR.. Kruger really
said, and the manner in which he was quoted in
the affidavits, need not be sought.
In bringing the attention of the federal au-
thorties to the alleged disloyal statements these
men were fulfilling what they believed to be
their duty toward this nation and to the county.
No one need deny the necessity of having
men connected with the selective service board
whose integrity cannot be questioned and whose
loyalty is above reproach. The loyalty of the
men who select our young men for the military
establishment must be immaculate.
Statements such DR.. Kruger is alleged to
have made do not harmonic with the high type
of patriotism that we seek in public officials
They are the leaders and help share public opin-
ion. If they Willingly or through bad Judgment
make statements that aid and comfort the en-
envy, to say nothing of undermining the morale
of our people, they must be removed from office
Neither can such officials expect the public
to try to fathom the real meaning of utterances
which are accepted as being dsloyal People &C

original meaning. If a statement sounds dis

THAT SOUTHERN SEED CORN
SCARE
Editor Palladium:

Editor Palladium.
The writer, having farmed seven
years in Kansas and travelled over
much of northern Missouri where this
seed corn comes from that is SO much
feared an account of it's having grown
in a Southern" state, he wishes to
suggest that Missouri is no more a
Southern state than Indiana or Ohio SO
far as climate is concerned. In proof
of this fact, take a map of the U. S.
and you will see that Missouri and
Indiana are right on the 40th parallel
line (of 40 north latitude,) so corn
grown in any part of Missouri Kansas
or Indiana would be perfectly at home
in any part of either of these states.
Simply because Missouri was called a
Southern state on account of slavery in
the anti-bellum days is no reason for
its being so classed now as farming
state.

GERMAN SAILORS
 REFUSED TO MAKE A SORTIE IN NOV.

Amsterdam, Dec. 20.---The attempt of officers of the German High Seas fleet to make a suicidal sortie against the British Grand Fleet before the armistice was signed is characterized by the Berlin Vorwaerts as ''the last devilish crime against the German people that sealed the doom of the fan-Germans Refusal of the sail CTS to go out and fight is regarded as the first step toward the German revolution. This mutiny is described by the Vorwaerts as "an act of self defence by SO,OC0 men against the vil- lainous Pan-German plan"
 ''To understand the position" con- tinues the newspaper, it is necessary to go back to the feverish plopa- ganda by the Pan-Germans at the end of October for a so-called na- tional fight of despair. To save their necks they conceived the idea of bait ing the people into a for!orn hope which could only end in complete ex- termination. The death of the doomed S0,000 did not concern these maniacs in whose reckoning human blood never counted. Their notion of mil itary honor was that the whole people should suffer themselves to be butch cred rather than undergo the shame of defeat.
 With their minds steeped in the worship of might they had no inkling of the revolutionary currents among the men. They still imagined that iron discipline was paramount. Theil fiendish plan was to send out the ships to be sacrificed to the last ship The news spread like wildfire.
 At the last stage of the war are we all to be killed?' they asked.
 "The officers harangued, cajoled, ir vain. Three times the order wa! given. It was difficult position fol men with no backing but their feel tngs of solidarity. A thousand were imprisoned at Wilhelmshaven. Int choice between freedom and impris 1 onment was not difficult. It was rev. olution. It was the irony of fate tha the PanGermans, with what was tc be their last desperate blow, should themselves have started the conf1ag. ration.

RAGE PREJUDICE WILL BE CAUSE
 OF NEXT WAR

Tokio, Dec. 20-(Correspondence of the Associated ress)-Belief that the next war will be the outcome of race prejudices is expressed by Yukio Ozaki, formerly Minister of Justice, and a leading member of the Consti- tutional party. MT. Ozaki said that in his opinion, the cJ1ored races which steadily were developing their cfvili- zation would demand finally the same treatment as the white racs, and that the result would be an armed collision.
 MT. Ozaki recommended that the peace conference, Japan acting on be- half of all the Asiatic races should introduce the racial and population questions for Consideration, and if possible, secure a solution.
 In a country like Japan where the population is increasing with alarm ing rapidity, he said it was but natural that the surplus population should try to obtain an outlet even by re- sorting to arms. FrCm Japan's stand point, said MT. Ozaki, the racial or population questions were more im- portant than President Wilson's 'Fourteen Points" as laid down for a basis of Germany's surrender These racial questions, he said, concerned the future of millions of souls in Asia.
 MT. Ozaki warned the Japanese not to develop the German system of state organization which in the pres ent war has proved to be more machine for destroying civilization and for trampling under foot the rights of other nations and peoples.
 On the question of Japan's occupa- tion of the German South Sea Islands, MT. Ozaki declared that the United States should dismantle her forts in the Philippines and Hawaii, and that this would be more important for Japan than the taking over of the South Sea Islands
