PAVING NORTH E STREET. A week from Monday night it will fee up-to council to determine whether or not North E street shall be paved and otherwise improved, as the manufacturers located along that street have presented their remonstrance end ptated their determination to do itheir utmost to persuado council to mrevent the proposed improvement, inlefisthe city pays the total cost of jjaring. Last Sunday we expressed nur appKoval of tho plan proposed by

(ineKCiiyjny wmcn u was to pay not on-

y-for alrtlntersections but also for ten

encent.of the cost of the curbs and

tters. besides Davlne one-third the

jedet5 assessed against property owners IforWaving. The manufacturers lnterestd,however, declare they have no assurance the city will carry out this proposition, a3 the resolution ordering !th.6impK)vement of North E street in iaiow wise mentions the city's respon-

E street the city has made a more generous offer than ever before. Not only has it agreed to pay one-third the cost assessed against the property owners, but it has also agreed to stand the additional cost of ten per cent, of the curbs and gutters. In view of the city's action in the past with regard to paving streets with brick we do not see how it can be expected to make an exception in the case of North E street and pay all the costs assessed against the property owners. Therefore we reiterate our former approval of the plan submitted by the board of public works and again repeat that we trust council, not forgetting the fact that North E street stands in need of improvement, will be able to provide at least the two-thirds vote necessary to pass the improvement resolution in the face of the remonstrance that has been presented against it. We do not feel that by so doing any hardship will come to the manufacturers interested. The Barrett law provides that such improvements may be paid for by property owners on the installment plan during a period of ten years, the interest on which amounts to five per cent, per annum. This law will enable any of the manufacturers affected to pay but one tenth the costs assessed against them each year for ten years plus the interest.

SCIENTISTS MAKE TEST FOR THEMSELVES.

dbilityfor ten per cent of the cost of 'the curbs -and gutters and one-third hcamountfrthat will be levied against ithesroperty owners for paving. The fmffrtufacturers in..this contention are .10lte right, as tho resolution does not (contain any such provision. Furthermore, the resolution can not contain ;eny euch clause providing for the citjtfa responsibility in this connection ,a astate law prohibits it. The resolution, however, does say this, "The cost of said improvement shall be assessed upon the real estate abutting on said North E street and on all property abutting on the streets or alleys intersecting the street or alley proposed to be Improved, and on property within 150 feet of the line of the street or alley to bo improved, and upon the city of Richmond, Indiana,

If the said city Is benefited by saidj

Improvement, That. clause which we have emphasized is the one under which the city is allowed to pay the proportion it has agreed to pay. That proportion is not in the resolution, as stated before, nor can it be on account of a state law. The board of public works, however, representing the city of Richmond, has stated that the city would pay the proportions stated above and we believe the city's word, as expressed by its board of - public works, is binding and one that ?can be relied upon by the manufacturers. Nowuas to the merit of the contenWlon othe manufacturers that the city rshouldT bear the entire cost of paving iNorth; E street. Before stating our opinion on this subject we will show

Hvhatthe city has done . heretofore in

very case where a street has been pave with.1 brick. In the first place,

rwben MalnkStreet was paredVwith brick

the city paid for one section between

ifilxthrand Ninth streets, one-fourth the

lassessment against the property own

ers besides the intersections. The rest.

from Fourth; to Sixth streets and from

Nlnthto Twentieth streets was settled

entirely by the property owners with

the exception of -the share borne by the

fctreet railroad company and the Intersections which were paid for by the city. In- this latter case the total cost ef the improvement was $(10,224.01. Of this amount $13,177.W was paid by the Street railroad company, $S,0S2 covered the city's share for intersections, and the remainder, $.18.HV3.Pr, was met by the property owners. "When Ft. V'ayne avenue was paved with brick the city besides paying for the Intersections also paid one-third the cost assessed against the property owners, a proposition that is not as good as the cne now open to the property owners along North E street, where the city has agreed to pay ten per cent, of the cost of curbs and gutters, in addition to one-third the assessment against property owners for paving. When North E street from Eighth to Tenth streets was paved with brick the total cost amounted to $d.:?0.r5. Of this the city paid $2.07$.1S, or less than onethird the cost even including the intersections. But by far the most interesting case is that of Gaar. Scott & Co. In 1904 this company, possibly the largest manufacturing plant in the city, petitioned to be allowed to build a brick pavement on North Sixth street from the railroad to North F street and asked to be allowed to stand two-

thirds of the cost, the city to bear the

remaining one-third. And mind you, Gaar, Scott & Co. by this proposition, which was accepted by the city, paid two-thirds the cost of the intersections, too. Generally the city has borne the atire cost of all intersections.

In the present case of paving North

Editor Richmond Palladium : In your issue of the 2Wh you published a diupatch from Baltimore containing the statement that two medical students have announced the fact that they "are perfectly willing in order to demonstrate the fallacy of the doctrines of Christian Scientists to allow "themselves" to be inoculated with a pure tested culture of sereptoccus pyogenes, provided any two followers of the faith do the same." They say "We are to rely upon medical treatment and our Christian Science friends upon their mode of treatment for relief." They add "It seems to us that a test fair and square is the only means to prove or disapprove the value and properties of medicinal treatment or the foolishness and fallacy of the faith cure." Will the gentlemen allow me to say that they are several years late in their proposal. Christian Scientists have already made the test for themselves. They have had their experience first with medicine and then with Christian Science, hence their choice. If these students are yet in need of a test they'have our permission to inject all the poison into their system that is acceptable to their taste. When they

have failed to cure themselves by their

material remedies they can then turn to Christian Science as a last resort.

as we have done.

Of course, they do not expect to be

taJwn seriously. They are simply

bantering for whatever effect they may make on the public. This cheap talk reminds us of a little militia company who were splendid fightora in dress parade, but when they were called into real service they had to be driven out

of town by the police.

To treat the subject seriously, we

would say Christian. Scientists, in so far as they are able are practicing in accord with the precept and example of our Lord, and I tonow no instance

where he accepted a challenge to prove his power over the devil's propositions. Hts reply was "Get thee behind ine Satan," and I know of no reason why

this same reply should not be ma.de to

those who are today making the same

challenges and who thus evidence the fact that they are speaking for the devil. , If It were not proper for the Master to accept a challenge for the benefit of skeptics, there is no Chris

tian precedent for such practice on the

part of his followers. There is a vast difference between a loyal depend

ence upon God in time of unavoidable

trouble, and a wilful venture into trou

ble. It is a direct violation of divine lr.w to invite calamity, and such a ven

ture would weaken one's faith in the outcome. One might ignorantly blun

der or mistake and still have faith in divine deliverance, but with a guilty

conscience 'supported by the knowledge

of being a wilful sinner, one might not

have sufficient faith in divine salvation to be delivered from the effects of his sin To wilfully enter into combat

which jeopardizes the life of a neigh

bor, would bo equal to manslaughter.

to say the least. It is quite as scien

tific and quite as Christian to keep out of trouble as It is to seek a way out after one has fallen into It. Christian Scientists, like others, huve enough troubles which come uninvited, and have, therefore, no necessity for seeking trouble. Yours sincerely. (Signed) ALFRED FARLOW.

DENIES CHARGES AGAINST COLISEUM.

Editor Palladium: Replying to the Item's attack on Thursday on the Management of the Coliseum under the heading of "Usual Rag Chewing Follows Polo," will say that there was no argument with anyone by the management in the Coliseum on the evening referred to. but on the contrary the good sized and enthusiasticcrowd present maintained perfect order during the games. After the games were over, a young man, who had figured in police court before, caused a disturbance, but left the building and remained on the sidewalk cursing and swearing with a large crowd about him until a police officer came along and was requested to arrest him, and disburse the crowd, which was done. Just why the Item should make light of the fact that the management wish to maintain order at the Coliseum and that they do it, though at times it is necessary to do as they have done at the opera houses and other places of amusement in this and other cities, that is, to cause the arrest of parties who persist in making trouble and annoying the better class of people who attend these public places of amusement, is a mystery. If the general public, is to understand that such places of amusement are to be run at loose ends, and to allow the rowdy element to have full sway the doors had better be closed at once, as the better class of people would not countenance such management. It will be remembered by many that we had a very successful season of polo lasting three years, that the Coliseum was filled with our representative people, and they felt and knew that they could attend the games and enjoy the sport, and that the hoodlum element would not interfere with their so doing, why, because the management did as they are now doing, maintain order and arrest the disturbing parties, or put them out of the building, and then as now, we were upheld in this by the public, and the press also was a help to us in stamping out anything pertaining to rowdyism. Why the Hem should take the stand it did in yesterday's issue is more than we are able to understand. Generally its policy is for law and order, and why they now censure and make light of me for preserving order and stamping out rowdyism is beyond comprehension. It is a general expression by all strangers who visit the Coliseum and Rink, that we have the best order, and cleanest and best equipped building for the purpose that they have ever visited. In conclusion I wish to assure the Item that so long as the Board of Directors of the Richmond Athletic Association approve of my help in the management of the Coliseum, that it matters but little what the Item reporters have to say in advocating that a few rowdies should be allowed full sway, and act as they please in and about the Coliseum. I wish to assure them and the public that order will be maintained in the Coliseum and the rowdy boys or men who interfere with the rights of others, and who may persist in doing wrong, and as they please, will be dealt with, but much more severely in the future than in the past, and I have the assurance of the city authorities that they will assist in any way to accomplish this end.

What is Your Net Worth ?

If all your debts were paid, how much would you have left? Probably the credit side would show up very poorly when you consider the large amount of money that has passed through your hands during your life-time. A little of it saved regularly would have made a nice sum. Why not start now; it's not too late. We invite savings accounts and pay three per cent compound interest on them. Richmond Trust Company.
