OPPOSE UNIVERSAL
MILITARY TRAINING

A Washington dispatch. dated Feb.
8, says: Rejecting President Wilson's
advice, house Democrats in caucus to-
night went on record as opposed to
military training by a vote of LOG to
II. The President, in letters to DEM
ocratic leaders earlier in the day,
asked that action be withheld so the
party's stand might be left to it's ma
tional convention. The rejection of
the presidents appeal was double in
it's scope, for before declaring against
military training the caucus rejected,
88 to 81, proposal that all action on
the question be deferred "at this
time" This vote, cast on the motion
of Representative Doremus, Michigan,
came after a three-hour discussion be-
hind closed doors, and Immediately af-
terward on the straightLout question
universal training advocates dwindled
TO seventeen.
ut is the sense of this caucus" de-
clared the resolution adopted by the
Democrats, "that no measure should
be passed by this congress providing
for universal compulsory military ser,
vice or training" .

IRELAND AND HOME RULE

In 1195, the Irish first revolted
against England and until 1867 re-
sorted to might, only to be defeated
by sheer weight of numbers. In 1873,
she turned to diplomacy to achieve the
result that her arms had been unable
to win. In that year the Home Rule
movement had its inception, fathered
by Isaac Butt, leader of the Irish Par
liamentary party. Charles Stewart
Parnell succeeded Butt as Irish leader
in 1879 and he waged bitter war in
Parliament for Home Rule. On April
6, 1886, w. E. Gladstone, the great

Absorption Process
Makes Faces Young

Success at last has come to scien-
lists who for years have sought some
method Of removing the outer veil of
facial skin in cases of unsightly COM
plexions, which would be both pain
less and harmless. The new process
is so simple, so inexpensive, the won
der is no one had discovered it long
ago. 1t has been amply demonstrated
that common mercolized wax, (sold by
druggists in ounce packages) entirely
removes, by gentle absorption, the
withered, lifeless, surface skin, show
ing the youthful, roselike skin be-
meath. The wax is applied at night
like cold cream, and washed off in
the morning. The absorption also
cleanses clogged pores, increasing the
skins breathing capacity. and preserv-
i ing tone, color and natural beauty of
the new skin.-kdvertiseme

Editor Palladium, Richmond Ind.
Dear Sir: I have been a constant
reader Of your paper for some time,
and I find many things Of interest in
your columns. have read OF late the
farmers opinions of conditions Of the
day. Most Of them are very good, with
the exception Of one. who said we
should have a panic.
wonder If that fool knows what
panic would mean to the working
class, which live in the city. The
farmer would not be hit so hard as his
city brother, as the farmer can raise
almost everything he needs, where the
city man has to buy everything, even
to his drinking water.
I am an old time mechanic, lived a
number Of years in Richmond, worked
there several years. The great cry
labor. Why not forget that, as labor
is now receiving somewhere near what
1t should have received 10 years ago
What do the high wages amount to
when they are taken away from one
after working hard to earn them
Labor has advanced less than 30 pei
cent. in the last three years, where
other things have gone up to five OF
six times that amount. When mer
get little increase in wages, the Other
! fellow raises on his goods.
Charges Prices High.
In this town they are right up-to
date along that line. We pay from II
to 80 per cent. more for everything
here than in Richmond. A great man.

In Aus tria, said Mir Walton, the people art | uncoulplaining although they are starving and the Italians have taken all of tho coal leaving them to face. the cold with l out heat. Russia is in state of unres and the bolsheviki are in control In Ger many there is much complaining al | though the conditions are much bette l than in Austria.
 The people of these countries are yer, | anxious to get away from them ana come to America and, according to MI Walton, they are slipping away at ev cry opportunity. MT.
