HOW A f EW Of RICHMOND'S WEALTHY MEltf COILD BOOST Y. M. C. A. FUND

The Y. M. C. A. has long ago passed the experimental stage It has had Its opportunity and has made good. It not only teaches eternal truths, but in a practical way helps its members to live the present life in a clean wholesome and happy manner. At the present time the work is hounding forward in such a way that it Is absolutely impossible to get Field Secretaries to take care of the demands. Secretary Brown is constantly refush calls from other cities to organize and push the work. The West is awaking at a tremendous rate in the work, and the old conservative East is making great St rides in the enlargement of its established field. On December 27tn Mr. Brown answered nix letters relative to the work in other cities most l which wanted to launch the campaigns before the 13th of January, and in every case wealthy men had started the movements with large E. R. BRYAN MAY BE NAMED PRESIDENT Head of Franklin College Spoken of as Executive for'lndiana Teachers. TO HOLD ELECTION TODAY FEATURE OF YESTERDAY'S SESSION OF PEDAGOGUES WAS STIRRING ADDRESS BY LOTUS D. COFFMAN. ' Indianapolis, Dec. 28, (Spl.) The Indiana Teachers Association will elect officers tomorrow but tonight it was impossible to predict who would assume the presidency. The pedagogues play at politics In a manner that la altogether different from most other organizations and al though the presidency of the Indiana State Teachers Association is an honor not to be sneezed at, apparently there is no electioneering being done by any of the men who have aspirations locked tightly within their breasts. ,Dr. E. B. Bryan Is one of the educators whose name is prominently . spoken of as the next executive of the association, but even he denies that such a thing is likely, declaring that he had never considered being a candidate. The nominating committee held a meeting tonight and will report at the opening session tomorrow morning. The real feature today .was the stirring address delivered by Lotus. I). Coffman, superintendent of the public schools at Connersville. He made a vigorous attack on courts and prosecutors who have made a practice of remitting fines, declaring that the school fund of the State suffers greatly. lu part he said: '"It is the most underpaid of all the skilled professions. Consequently it is little wonder that men and women of strength and power decline to devote their lives to the world's service in such a pooily paid, unpopular profession. The result is that many persons of second lute ability are finding their way into the profession. Two things stand out prominently. viz., the teacher has not received the j

The teachers should be better paid that enlarged opportunities maji be afforded the children of the State. To secure the needed relief a slumbering public conscience must be aroused. How to Obtain More Money. "There are just two avenues epen to us today with which to secure more money to support and maintain the schools. One is by additional legislation and the other by stopping the leakages existing uuder the piesent laws. Doth will probably be needed before wo secure ' all the funds necessary. The commission may effect the first, but an enraged public opinion, coupled with legislation of a minor character, is the only thing that will bring relief from the second condition. "The losses and the Jeaks are startling iff the aggregate, and the irregular and dishonest practices resorted to to evade the payments of legitimate fees and taxes portray a rapidly degenerating class of mankind.- In --i.v v.ij, luuniY ana township in: the State money which should accrue CM1CMCSTC'S ENGLISH EfJflYROYAL PILLS THE DIAMOND BRAND.

We believe Richmond with her campaign organized and now on, will take hold and raise the ' $100,000 wanted, complete the plans and push the home for the building of charact er in her young men. This would be easily done (and the fair minded men of this city agree that it is possible) if there were two men who would give $10,000 each, Four me to giYJ $5,000. Five to give $3,el9. Ten to give $1,000, add to this the $20,000 already subscrib ed making a total of $85,000 and then the balance can be taken care of by subscriptions from $500 down to the small boys $1. This is asking no more than is done in other towns smaller and poorer than the city of Richmond. If the true spirit of sacrifice and philanthropy should take hold in this city the above would not be. an idle dream, but a reality. to the various schools Is being lost, diverted or not collected. "One of the commonest losses re sults from a mishandling of fines and forfeitures. Offenses committed against the State are finable and the statutes provide that all money3 ac cruing from this source and from for feitures shall be converted into the common school fund. There are in the State about 1.400 judges of Cir cuit Court, police judges, mayors and justices of peace, all of whom have the right to assess and collect fines. A general abuse practiced almost uni versally by tbese officers Is the re mission of fines. Under the constitution of the State the only officer authorized to remit fines and forfeitures is the Governor. In actual practice many courts allow the prisoner to go free on suspended sentence or remit the fines when pro vision has been made for the pay ment of the costs. At others times an agreement is entered Into with the prisoner to pay all or part of the prosecutor's fee and the fine is remit ted. At still other times an arrangement is made with the prosecutor and the indictment is quashed or the case is settled out of court. "Officers frequently omit to collect fines through favoritism or lack of zeal. Most courts take occasion to I assess the minimum fine and then make no special effort -to collect it Fines in my opinion, should be made as large as they can be made consistently with justice. A practice common in most sections of the State is that of allowing fines to be stayed by some reliable party and -then nev er collecting them. "All justices Are expected to re port semi-annually, but my investigations have revealed that many re port when they please. "Not only the fines, and forfeitures but the unclaimed fees should revert to the school fund and yet the State Treasurer's report shows that only $1,652.30 was found from this source last year. Frequently these accumu late in the clerk's office and lie there idle until discovered by an adjuster who divides with the clerk for assist- I ing him in discovering them."

You may want an artesian well of your own; you may get water from some river; or you may get It from your neighbor. But the cost is not great, and those who have tried It have netted from the first crop a sum which has paid all expenses and left a good surplus.
