Acknowledging no special de-

pride of every community to have
a paper of it's own, the Palisadian
smiles on you today for the first
time. It's mission will be to note
current events in the Palisade Sec

interest and to be always pure in
tone. It's dominating idea at all
tines will be:
Whatsoever things are true;
whatsoever things are gust; aOhat-

ever things are loUely; whatsoever
things are of good report; If there
be any virtue, and If there be any

Due in Hospital

New [York-William Hard, Wash
ington correspondent of the New
York Globe, assert that U. S. war
veterans by thousands are in jails as
criminals when in fact Gin great per-
centages they are helpless victims of
mental and physical troubles caused
by the war in which they fought for
the country that jails them" The dis
closure, Hard writes, was made at the
national conference of social work by
DIR. w. F. Lorenz, director, Wisconsin
psychiatric institute at Madison.
"Twenty thousand ex-service men,"
he quotes DR.. LorenZ as saying, "were
in penal institutions in America dur
ing 1922, and large numbers OF them
were there because of the results of
unemployment and because of the re-
suits of the physical injuries and men
tai Affections which they incurred in
the service itself"
Hard adds that DR.. Lorenz's asser-
tions are borne out by an investiga-
ton by the federal veterans bureau

legion, the findings of which had been

To Stop Negro Migration

New Orleans-M Mississippi will use
the full legal force at the command
of Labor Commissioner F. E. Wood to
prevent the northward migration of
Negro labor. Under a statute passed
in 1918, when there was great Negro
exodus, it was made a crime to "en-
tice away, intimidate or to induce a
tenant to leave his work" Negroes
working as share-croppers in the
cotton fields and elsewhere are re-
garded under the law as having en-
tered a contract which no one may
induce the to break without penalty,

Stay Away From
The Twin Cities

st. Paul, MINI. Workers are
warned to stay away from the Twin
Cities. Local employers under the
guise of citizens committees are adj
vertising in newspapers around the
country urging workers to go to ST.
Paul and Minneapolis as there is an
abundance of work. The purpose is
to flood the market with unemployed
and force down wages.
A circular sent out by the Twin
City Building Trades council, says
that aside from the Ford plant "there
is no other large work started in
either city, and no prospects of any
in the near future. With thousands
out of employment, you can readily
understand that it is advisable to stay
away"

AGE PENSIONS
PETITIONS NOW BEING CIRCU-
LATED IN THE STATE
Vigorous Campaign Required to Sc
cure Needed Additional Signatures
So That Measure May Be Voted
On By People Next Fall

The Central Bodies and Trades
Unions throughout Ohio, in conjunc
ton with the Fraternal Order of
Eagles, are actively engaged in cir
-culating two petitions recently sent
out by Thomas j. Donnelly, secretary
of the Ohio State Federation of La
Dor. One for an Old Age Pension
law, the other for constitutional
amendment on the same subject.
Both petitions are being circulated
at the same time, so that those favor
able to the Old Age Pension law may
sign at the same time for the Con-
stitutional Amendment, and not only
the members of organized labor
should be asked to sign them, but all
others who are friendly to the propo-
sition
The State Federation of Labor
must, through it's affiliated organiza-
tions, secure an additional $4,000 sig
natures in at least A counties to the
Old Age Pension law petitions to be
able to have a vote thereon by the
people next November, and that these
petitions must be in the hands of the
Secretary of State not later than nine
ty days from the tenth of May.
The petitions for the Constitutional
Amendment are just as important
and they must be filed in about sixty
days. While a number of signatures
were secured to these petitions last
year, it will be necessary to secure
an additional 100000 to enable the
people to vote on it next November.
Not only should every male voter
be urged to sign the petitions, but
the women voters should likewise be
asked to do so.
When circulating petitions, pros
pective signers should be asked if
they have signed before. If so, their
names should not appear again to
these petitions, as many have already
signed and they cannot again sign
either the petitions for the law OF
Constitutional Amendment.
Of special Importance, after sigma
lures have been secured, is the sign
ing of the petition in the place pro-
vided therefor by the person circulat-
ing it and the making Of an affidavit
by them as provided for on the petit
ton. AS soon as this has been done
the petitions should be sent to the
Ohio State Federation of Labor By
all means, these petitions should not
be sent to the Secretary of State, but
to Thos. Donnelly, Secretary of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor.

Councilman Parr is Just Right

Councilman Parr made a plea at
Monday nights council meeting for
the enforcement of the ordinance pro-
hibiting splitting in public places and
on the sidewalks, stating that in
some places it was almost neces-
sary to wear hip boots to wade
through the tobacco juice. He also
called attention to the practice of
many persons who park automobiles
with neither head or tail lights burn
ing. In closing he stated that he be-
lieved if police can go to Lovers
Lane to make an arrest, they can en-
force ordinances within the city. He
concluded by saying, "For Gods sake
let's not pass any more ordinances
until we enforce what we have"

"With the habits of scholastic train

they may"

THE LATEST OUTRAGE


Burglars who are never caught
continue to ply their nefarious calling
with startling regularity all over the
city, one of the more recent stunts
having occurred on the public square
last Saturday night, and automobile
and bicycle stealing has become an
everyday occurrence and ceases to
attract attention.
Why Newark should be the chief
goat among cities of similar size in
Ohio is a subject Of speculation, but
perhaps it is because some of it's pa
trolmen, who the sleeping taxpayers
suppose are vigilantly guarding their
lives and property are miles away
secreted in bitches and fence corners
on the watch for that greatest of all
criminals, the wicked whisky runner
and bootlegger, ready, if necessary to
murder innocent people if they hap
pen to imagine that possibly they may
have in their possession a small guam
tity of bootleg whisky.
This is the conclusion naturally ar
rived at from what happened few
miles west of Newark last Thursday
evening about half-past nine o'clock,
when Joseph Criss, aged about
twenty, and lady were returning
from an auto ride. Just as the ma
chine crossed the railroad near the
Hebron pike a couple of men, who it
later developed were Officers Will
liams and Roll, Newark policemen
who were supposed to be on their
beats in the city, rushed before them
with flashlights and guns and ordered
the occupants of the car to stop and
throw up their hands.
Naturally supposing himself to be
the victim of holdup the boy step
ped on the gas and made bee line
for home. The sleuths then began
firing at Criss and leaping into their
car which was in hiding near by, fol-
lowed him into the city firing at him
continually. Five of the bullets
struck the car at different places, but
more than double that number were
clean misses, it is stated.
Criss at last got into town and en-
deavored to shake off his attackers by
cutting through alleys, but without
success, and finally drove home where
the valient disciples of Sherlock
Holmes arrested him as bootlegger
and took him to the. police station,
where he was told it was all mis-
take.
The writer of the above asked the
Director of Public Safety if Newark
police officers, supposed to be on duty
within the corporation, had right
to act as dry sleuths miles away and
why they happened to be stationed
where the outrage occurred. He was
curtly informed the policemen were
there because they had right to
be there" and was told that if any
further information was desired on
illegal questions" he had better con-
suit lawyer as he, the safety direc-
tor, was not posted on legal matters.
Tuesday evening affidavits were
filed in the court of Mayor t. M.
White, of Hebron, against Howard
Williams and Vincent Roll, members
of the Newark city police force, in
which they are charged with shooting
with intent to kill. 1t is understood
the case will be vigorously prosecuted
to the end.
