suited women, destroyed property, and generally
conducted themselves as savages. All the vile
elements of society have been in control 1t took
a bayonet charge of the guardsmen to dsperse
gangs of gamblers. Dice games were openly
carried on in the streets and on the Common.
Many of the crimes were of a revolving nature.
Unprotected women brutally assaulted.
The city is under martial law, with the
troops in control. There is much criticism of Of
ficias. The governor and the mayor are trying
to shift the burden of responsibility from one to
the other. Whoever is to blame, it is generally
agreed that the authorities were slow to act, and,
as a result, the mob got the upper hand. It
would be foolish to think that the roting was in
the interest of the striking policemen-t was
rioting for loot and for the love of rioting. The
social order was simply turned upside down. Per-
haps it is fair to say that such conditions could
hardly have existed had the city government been
what it should have been.

Editor Palladium
see by your paper of September S
that Mr.. Nimrod Johnson says that the
gas rate must be raised by October l,
or the consumer will have to use arti-
fetal gas.
Will Mr.. Johnson tell US poor con-
sumers why this will be necessary
The consumer now pays 80 cents per
1000 cubic feet. while the consumers
OF New Paris, O., also Newcastle, Ind,
pay only SO cents per 1000 cubic feet,
lived in both of the above named
towns and that is all ever paid until
hit Richmond.
Now, the gas for Richmond comes
from the same field as it does to New
Paris, and Newcastle also from the
same main which crosses the country
about fifteen miles north of here. The
cost of transportation shouldn't be
any greater for Richmond than the
other named towns.
New Paris gets its gas from the
main that feeds this city. The Rich.
mond main branches off from the big
main about one mile east of Holans-
burg, Ohio.
1t looks like with the thirty cents
differences between the prices paid in
the above named towns and here that
the consumers should still get their
gas for the same old price. Even then
the local gas company should have sur
plus funds on hand.
How much of the 81 cents difference
between what the local gas company
pays for gas and that which the con
sumner pays does it cost to deliver to
the consumer?
The Logan gas company could raise
the price to the local company to 35
cents per 1000 cubic feet and still the
company would be getting As cents per
1000 cubic feet, above what they pay,
and the present price to the consumer
would give a pretty fair margin.
Yours respectfully,
ONLY A CONSUMER.

Push Ahead

Some men always delay because they believe
conditions are not perfect. Temerity never won
a success. If Marshal Foch had hesitated last
an offensive as they reasonably might have been,
the chances are that the Allies would have been
defeated. Conditions then were far from ideal
for the allied cause, but Marshal Foch was will
ling to try conclusions in the face of dscouraging
prospects.
A start has to be made in every enterprise. If
one waits until all conditions are ideally perfect
the prospect is that a start will never be made.
Some enterprises that have been started under
the most adverse conditions have developed into
perfect achievements.
Hardly business man in Richmond who will
not admit that he has made many mistakes. And
yet by taking advantage of mistakes he has push
eed forward to success. If you want to get some
where you will have to make start.
Take the boy who wants college education.
If he waits until some prosperous person adj
vances him enough money for tuition, he prob
ably will wait forever. If he boldly invests all he
has saved to enter college, there is every likelihood
that he will be able to borrow enough
money to put him through college.
The man who waits until he has saved enough
money to buy house, seldom acquires one. But
the person who invests the little he has to make
the first payment on a piece of property usually
pays off his Indebtedness faster than he believed
he could.
Most persons stay in groove because they
fear to start something. The "go getters' are
the successful men. Those who think superficial
ly usually call them "lucky". They not "lucky'
but courageous and farsighted.
All the progress that the world has made can
be traced back to persons who had the nerve to
do things. Columbus discovered America be-
cause he was bold enough to take chance. Great
business enterprises have been developed be-
cause their founders had courage and confidence
in themselves. Thousands of men own homes
because they did not fear mourning debt to ac-
quire title to property.

false hope" says Mr. Fisher.
Business men should see the facts.
To talk reverently Of i9i3-l9l4 prices
is to speak in dead language today
The buyers Of the country since the
armistiee have made an unexampled
attack upon prices through their
waiting attitude and yet the price re
cessions have been insignificant The
reason is that we are on high price
level which will be found stubborn
reality. Business men are going to
find out that the clever man is not
the man who waits, but the one who
finds out the new price facts and acts
accordingly.
Against any considerable price
reduction in bank credit and hence in
the general level Of prices, we shall
find the whole business community in
arms. Falling prices mean hard times
for the individual and for the nation
and every one resents the tendency
