Editor Palladium: Dear Sir:-I
would like to call attention to a few
things that l think demands atten-
heard a lot about it before the cleo
ton.
1t looks like Mr.. Johnson left quite
an opening for discussion when he
made the statement that the good
old used and usefuD artificial gas
could not be manufactured until after
the natural product had completely
failed and sixty days had passed there
after.
The statement sounds like another
one, in tone at least. l refer to the
one about their unloading the old
light and power plant on the city.
Now Doc is MIN so much of a
friend that nothing will be done?
Now, another subject that is de-
manding attention is profiteering
Why is there such variance in
prices in different viands and eat
ables? A difference of eight to ten
cents per pound is certainly too much.
Also l would ask the coal dealers
how their profits for the last two
years compare with former years? Is
a man loyal and true who takes ad-
vantage of the people at time like
this to profiteer?
I would say NO. he is as rank
traitor as We could have among us.
Let the people have a chance.
Don't kick the income tax light
tell
Let's have that cheaper gas Doc.
Yours truly for more loyal people.

London, Sept. 25.-"It cannot be
made too clear that British labor has
long since placed Belgium outside the
category of questions upon which
there can be either negotiations OF
compromises, and regards the question
of Alsace- Lorraine as essentially one
of right and not of territorial read

the British labor party leader, in an
interview His statement was called
out by quoted suggestion from Herr
Ebert, the German Majority Socialist
leader, that all labor and socialist in
terest ought to try to come to an un
derstanding on common peace pro-
gram.
"This is exactly what we have been
asking German Majority Socialists to
do since February" added Mr.. Hen
derson, "and we regret that so far we
have not had from them the measure
of assistance we were entitled to eX-

Bucharest have created new and al
