The citizens of Richmond who live on the west side of the river comprise about one fourth of the population of this city. They pay the same amount of taxes every year into the city treas ury In proportion to their wealth that people do on the other side. They are within the corporation lines and there fore pay for and should receive all the benefits of Richmond. Thy are above all other things desirable citi zens, most of them own, or are paying for, their homes. Moreover factories have begun to be erected ire sufficient numbers across the river to warrant the assumption that it is one of the places which will play a great part In the town's future growth. Among the benefits of paying city taxes Is the benefit of fire protection. This is a vital matter to every citizen but especially is It a thing which enters the mind of the man. who has just built big house. The people of "West Richmond are right when they say that they are en titled to and have not adequate fire protection. They are justified la de m&ndlng that they have a hose house over there. Few people will be found to doubt the justice of their claim. But. The fact Is that the city of Rich mond has not the money to spend in that way, or any other way. Of the reason for this we shall speak later. But that one fact, no one who has looked over or knows much about the finances of this town, will question The city's finances have reached such a point that it is absolutely nee essary that there be a decided re trenchment Leaving out specific instances, there Is little doubt that the present admin istratlon and tho ones preceding It have been too extravagant. In other words though there is no graft to be connected with the present administration, there has been too much money spent In a way which would have brought a business house to de structipn and bankruptcy long ago. It is not charged that the expenditure of money has been dishonest it Is mere ly that It has been ill advised. Too much money has been, spent at once on Improvements, every thing has been attempted in one administra tion, money has perhaps in some In stances been wasted in putting in temporary Improvements which are In the end more costly than permanent ones, in 'some instances also these very improvements have been, torn up shortly after their completion and were only to be done over again, About the size of it is, that too much money has been spent and the treas ury will have too take a vacation This town can not go on borrowing $25,000 at 3.63 per cent payable six years from date. It has got to stop. And the sooner expenses are logically cut down and the city run on a bust ness basis the better. The newly married couple who must live on a definite salaVy after having stocked their house with all the pret ty Gew-Gaws which seemed necessary to a lovey and dovey existence, wake up and find the installment man at their door asking his pay. There-up-on they hie them to a very kind man who will lend them money for a con sideration. They soon find that the dream of wedded bliss is cut in the bud. There they are. They have to cut out the foolishness and some of the necessities. They haven't any money left for fire insurance. They might have Oh jes they might have had. But they haven't. 4 However necessary; however need ful It may be that the citizens of West Richmond shall have a hose house, it Is manifestly Impossible with the fi nances of the town In their present condition. It has been said that the fire rate on ordinary and special risks in West Richmond has ben increased by th insurance companies over the rates on this 6lde. On Inquiry it has been stat ed that this ts not the case. It has also been said that people will not build in West Richmond until adequate fire protection is given. Real estate dealers cynically remark that

" NOT KNOWING THIS, MEN SUFFER. Absence of vital power makes the average man of middle age worse off in his ability to enjoy life than the old fellow of 60 odd years. An eminent specialist who has treated many of New York's millionaire club men and whose fees range from $3,000 to $10,000, recently consented to the publication of a most valuable formula, claiming that its marvelous restorative powers over the natural functions , was such as to cure the average man and restore nature's sweetest blessing to the highest tone and vigor. such as may never have been realized before. Men in every station suffer untold tortures from inability, nervous exhaustion, kidney and urinary difficulties, so that this will certainly prove a blessing to such an l prevent further suffering. Get at any well-stocked drus store one ounce concentrated

fluid balmwort and three ounces syrup sarsaparilla compound, mix and let stand two hours. Then get one ounce compound essence cardiol and" one ounce tincture cadomene (not cardamom) compound. Mix all in a six or eight ounce bottle; shake well and take a teaspoonful after each meal and one at retiring. The three main ineredients are pure concentrations, put up especially for doctors and for prescriptions generally, In one ounce bottles, packed in cardboard boxes. If properly made of pure ingredlents with printed pure drug guarantee on the packages, a bounding new life will quickly follow with completely restored functions that make life worth living. Secrecy is insured by mixing at home, which is, as it should be for over-sensitive men. people do not think of auch things. They point to the South End as an il lustration of this fact. They say that the building went on in just the same way. They were forced to admit that the people in time might be disuaded from building over there and that it certainly would have some effect on the location of factories. There are beside shipping facilities and such things two very vital things in which a town's administration af fects the location of new factories and industries. These are fire protection and taxes. In this the question of taxes Is by all odds the most Important as it is the more certain, than the contingency of a fire. Richmond can not even afford, for the sage of better fire protection of which we admit there is a crying need afford to raise the tax rate to a higher point than it is at present, nor can she afford to risk t apparent ruin by making any more expenditures at the present time. The Palladium believes that the West Richmond citizens have a good and just cause for complaint and it sincerely hopes that the finances can be so arranged that the city can soon give them what they deserve This is the first thing the city should do on recovering from its financial dis ability. Citizens of Richmond must also bear in mind that this matter is not confined to the west side alone. The installment of a hose house means a reduction of the high insurance rates which are now in effect in Richmond. Therefore the sooner the hose house can be logically built the better for all concerned. PILES Cured Quickly Without Pain, Great Cost, Operation or Trouble In the Secrecy of 'Your Own Home.

ES DUTY? Question Discussed Among Other Things at Presbytery. Meeting. DELEGATES ATTENDING Weyland Kelsey, Arthur U 'Smith and the Rev. T. J. Graham of the First Presbyterian church, and the Rev. Robert Dunaway and Prof. Wissler of the Second Presbyterian church are in Rushville today attending the all-day rally of the Home Mission of the Whitewater Presbytery. Minis ters and laymen from nearly all the churches in the Presbytery are in at tendance. Following the all-day program a popular and practical meeting will be held in the main auditorium of the Rushville Presbyterian church this ev ening and either Dr. Dixon or A. T McGarrah of Grove City, Pa., will make the principal address. The Idea of the conference is that all may meet for a mutual good, to understand the times and know what the church ought to do. A sentiment in the program-invitation, which might be termed the keynote of the meeting reads: "Enlightened laymen are essential factors in the development of an enterprising church."
