VIIUV i ii is valuable to have the men who rep resent Richmond when they are away from home stand out in a conspicuous manner and act as if they had some life In them and were proud of their home town. This the delegates to the convention certainly did. , . In our opinion if this thing keeps up a little ionger the current of enterprise will have gotten such a hold on the town that it will be exceedingly hard to turn it back into the old swamp of ' Inertia. It would not hurt anything if we have a convention here fifty-two weeks in ezzh, year. FORUM OFTHE PEOPLE Articles Contributed for This Column Must Not Be in Excess of 400 Words. The Identity of All Contributors Must Be Known to the Editor. Articles Will Be Printed in the Order Received. In reply to an article printed in the Item Thursday evening, the writer wishes to express his views on the socalled "foolishness of speed mad mo tor cyclists. In the first place, let it be understood with all due' respect to Chief Staubach and his efforts to en force the law, and also to correct some erroneous views held by the public In general. The Richmond Motorcycle club was organised for the purpose of creating enthusiasm and promoting the inter eats of the motorcyclists. The officers of the club have at every meeting warned the members against speeding and the use of care on crowded streets. also on the subject of open mufflers. Every member has been instructed to dose his mufflers on the approach of a horse which looks frightened and to even stop and let the rig pass whenever necessary. This has been the rule and , especially with farmers' horses. People complain that a motorcycle ' makes so much ' more noise than an auto, which is true, but if they could have a place to attach a muffler as ' large as autos carry there would be no noise. As it is the muffler on an automobile is about fifteen times as large as that oh a motorcycle. . ; ; ; 5 As for speeding on the city streets, 1 think the accusation Is unjust, Autos glide down the street at a much great- ' er speed than a motorcycle, and attract very little notice, but let a motorcycle com along at half the speed and making more noise, he is at once proclaimed a "speed-mad" individual. Some drivers of horses also seem to think a motorcycle has no road rights and ought not to be given any room when met on the road. Every motorcy- - clist pays for the use of the road and is entitled by law to his halt of the highway. - . The so-called carelessness - of the riders and narrow escapes from accidents is more often the fault of pedestrians and wheelmen, who seem to think they can cross the street or ride on the left hand side with their eyes shut. Richmond is a busy city and care should be used in crossing its thoroughfares. Another . thing which greatly endangers lives is the question of dogs that run out into the streets to snap and bark at motorcyclists, and several have had nasty falls from this trouble, and if the owners of vicious canines do not keep them tied up they are liable to find themselves in court. If the pedestrians and others who have complaint will try to do their part I am sure the motorcyclists will exert very effort to overcome tho prevail tag prejudice against them. A. M.

. MUNICIPAL RESEARCH Municipal research is not an idea, it is a method. ; It is a method' of , obtaining facts about municipal government. These facts relate not only to the city or town in which the operations Of municipal research are to apply, but to other towns which have the same problems to deal with, so that there may be a comparison of the facts gathered and accurate knowledge gained. Municipal research Is not a spaemotic explosion of reform but a constant inquiry Into conditions. For the greatest menace to the institutions of America Is not immigration, lack of education, private monopoly of public utilities, nor the indifference of cltisens. The menace is a manner of conducting business of public character which does not keep the citizens Informed of the current acts of those who are administering government, ' For with knowledge of what is going on. the cltisens can eliminate ' the other evils. '

With the tax rate In any American city where it commonly is, there is money enough for efficient government No one ever doubts that. Inefficiency of government is usually more dependent ott the badness of method than the badness of men. And that is a fact that the reformer is usually unwilling to grant. For it is the bad method and the ignorance of citizens of their own affairs which puts carelessness and temptation in the paths of public officials. Reform commonly throws men out of office and puts others in, without changing the methods of transacting business in the least. ' Is it any wonder that there are' few reforms which succeed on that basis? Good methods can mitigate the inefficiency of careless and unprincipled men in office. But without changing methods, how can the best men achieve more than passing success with bad methods?

What we need is facts. And this is what the secretary of the New York Bureau of Municipal Research means when he says: "Continuing knowledge of acts is infinitely more effective than election excitement, Public interest in so-called good government must be sustained, not by scandal regarding personalities, but by reiteration of facts as to acts' committed and community needs met" In other words what we need is not the tearing down but the building up process. ' By obtaining facts about the condition of the government of the city and applying this knowledge of the city's affairs as each new thing comes up more good can be accomplished than in denouncing in vigor ous language the shortcomings of city officials with a consequent short lived revulsion of feeling ending in a sympathy for the men who are so attacked.

Municipal research says: "Let the people know what Is going on. And let them know all the time. Don't wait till every thing is over and then cry "graft" and "reform." Knowledge means prevention of inefficiency in office this means an incentive to well meaning city officials."

Judge Walker said in the Indianapolis Star the. other day some things which apply to Richmond: "The agitator has served his purpose when he directs Inquiry to certain glaring, faults in municipal affairs. His reform fails because he knows so little about ' his subject and can not intelligently offer an effective remedy. Efforts at municipal reform are usually abortive because nonexperts in city affairs reform by creating new offices at greater salaries to watch those already in ' charge, what ' business concern retrenches by employ-". - lng more men? Instead they reduce their force. Why not try abolishing a few offices as a remedy by way of re- -trenchment?. About two years ago an . Indianapolis newspaper man tried to' find how much money had been spent for the maintenance of a certain municipal plant, ... . j and it .took over two weeks. Then he secured only an estimate. Before an intelligent remedy can be found, definite facts must be kno.vn. These , facts are never discovered by reformers or partisan newspaper reporters. They must be ascertained by a disinterested body of men -who seek them for the benefit of the voter and his . corporation,' and not solely for use in a political campaign. Not until the facts are known can we have adequate reform. The agitator disturbs. The investigator instructs. The difficulty is we do not know the true condition, financial, social and moral, of our cities. This . as voters, we have, a right to know, and from an impartial and unprejudiced investigation.' Municipal facts given frank and fair publicity instruct the voters and bring, a definite remedy. Every well regulated i private corporation is audited by aa auditing company at least once a year. The facts, accurate and in detail, it must have to satisfy its stockholders and maintain its credit. This , fs no less true of a city. To maintain a city's credit its accounts should be accurately audited at least once a year not by its own officials, but by municipal experts who make it their business to know how to "keep books," how to buy supplies, how to hire men and how ( to save money by spending it as well as how to spend ' money and at the same time save it" We in Richmond, Indiana, are scarcely better or worse than the citizens in any other town. If we are better it is not by the efforts of the citizens if we are worse the blame is still on the citizens. What will do more good than all the agitation of the moment stirred up after every , thing is over, Is the interest in the city government of a few disinterested men working together and backed by the newspapers and the commercial organizations of Richmond. For it means money in every one's pocket in this town to have affairs so administered that the greatest amount of good can be obtained with the funds of the people. It will mean a safe guard to the citizens in the matter of franchises. It will lower the taxes. In short every branch of the city government will be affected for the better.

y , It is a hard thing to stir up interest over things that men know nothing about. When men know about their own town they will be ' more interested In it

Items Gathered in From Far and Near An Old-Fash toned Fourth. From the Rochester Post-Express. One of the significant signs of the times is th revival of interest in oldfashioned things. People are furnishing their houses wtth the simple but substantial furniture of their forebears; they are using rag carpets and rugs, and are even decorating the walls with these rough-and-ready weavings of the domestic loom. They are also harking back to the patch quilts and colored counterpanes that were the vogue when grandmother was a girL Anything so long as it is old seems to be the slogan of the day. In view of this, why not revive the old-fashioned Fourth? ' The old-fashioned Fourth was an institution, and as such it should not be suffered to become wholly obsolete. Of course, an exact reproduction of the old-fash-toned celebration, such as our mothers and fathers enjoyed, would not be possible in a city of this size : but a program could be arranged that would approximate the event so - to speak a program that would include many distinctly patriotic features, such as the playing of appropriate music, the delivery of brief addresses pitched in

a patriotic key, in the morning, and

ball games and other sports in the af ternoon; in the evening fireworks and refreshments on the lawns. Such a prgram could be carried out in a spirit of co-operation, and it would substi tute significant features for the barbaric practices at present in vogue, making it in the fullest sense of the word a festal day rather than a day of terror, anxiety and dread. Picnlo Day. f From the Columbus Journal. These are picnic days days for the woods, for the fresh green grass, for the deviled eggs, for the raspberry pie, and for the girl with the white frock and the heart-spliting laugh. If you let the sweet June days ripple by, without plunging - into one of these woodsy affairs, and butterflying your self through the leaf -sprinkled sun shine, and letting some sweet merry widow girl cut you off a huge chunk of jelly cake If you fail to deck your life with these experiences, what does It amount to anyhow? The soul must have its days to romp, to Wade in the creeks and swing from the branches of the trees. If it hasn't it will get hard and dry. and you can't make a dent in it with a line of poetry or the touch of a vanished hand. f Seeing a person in a parlor or an office is only

half seeing him. You must go out

among the dryads and th naiads and the sweet spirits of the emerald out

doors, and talk to him with a mouthful of fried chicken and an earful of women's voices. Less Noiv From the Springfield Republican. The ideal city will surely be considerate of the nerves of invalids and par ticularly of children; and noises will be regulated, with a view toy the maintenance of a high standard of public health, cuite as much as the smoke nuisance : or garbage collecting. In the ideal city there will be no raucous monstrosity of a steam whistle to give alarms of fire at all hours of the night ss well ss of the day. making nervous children jump out of their sleep end lose hours in finding nature's sweet restorer again. Nor will the ideal city, whether it be Boston or Springfield, tolerate certain other unnecessary ingredients of the genera din. What these are may be left for the individual to specify, since nearly every one has a particular dislike of a special noise; and. In view of the fact that, a city, even an Ideal city, cannot e:lit in a dead silence, it misht be possi ble to eliminate obnoxious sounds only by a consensus concerning them. Down With the Weeds! From the Oklahoman. Certainly it is high time that a campaign should ba inaugurated looking to th elimination of the weeds on vacant lota and urban streets. TWINKLES Defiant ef Fashion. "Those people don't seem to care what the world thinks of them." said the fashionable woman. "How do you know?" "They still play, progressive euchre and croQuet" Time Saving. 'So you thing that pictures serve a more important purpose than litera ture?" . "Yes." Nearly everybody would rath er send a post card than write a let ter." An Incomplete Program. The - lightning bug once more draws nigh . A thing of beauteous wonder. It's lucky that it need not try With every flash to thunder. Decumntary Evidence. "What shall I say if Algernon pro poses to me?" said the confiding young woman. "Tell him you want time to think it over," replied the worldly wise friend, "and then change your sum mer residence, so that he will have to discuss the matter in writing. "You can't alius jedge a man by his manifestations," , said Uncle -, Eben. "Some folks dat sings hymns depends mo' , on a good voice dan on a good conscience." v , ft SPECIAL SERVICE The United Brethren are expecting a good service Sunday as it will be the third anniversary service. Rev. H. Fout, D. D,, of Dayton. O., t - - preached the first anniversary sermon, Bishop G. M. Mathews, D. D., the second, and Rev. H. S. Gabel. general church erection secretary of Dayton will preach Sunday both morning and evening. All these services have prov en very helpful to the church. There will be no effort to raise money as is often done on special occasions. Every one who helped to make it possible for the United Brethren to have a home in this city is especially In vited to be present Iceberg Designs. All the architecture of the world Is represented . in nature's Iceberg designs. Sometimes' a little berg will have , the appearance of an Arab's white tent as it rides on a desert look lng sea; another, its sharp outlines softened In the vaporous atmosphere, will appear like a domed mosque In green marble. A cluster of Chinese pagodas comes- drifting slowly down the current followed by a stately Gothic cathedral, early style. Then comes a coliseum, and beyond a huge man-of-war floats down the current its stem submerged, with foam grandly breaking over it the stern seventy-five feet aloft Then and New. The difference between the relations of parents to their children now and in the days before us is well Illustrated by the story of the old general who was talking to a young lady whom he had taken in to supper. Before tbm on a plate was a chicken. "After alt general. said the young lady, "there Is nothing in the world like the liver wing of a chicken. ; ; -Well." he replied, "do you know I never tasted one. for when 1 was young my parents ate it, nnd now my children dor Congregationallst ' Straightening th Back. 1 It Is the custom In certain pa rs of Scotland among the woman laborers in the field, wben their backs begin to ache from bending low while working with short handled hoes, to lie down, their faces apon the ground, and allow others to step upon the lower part of their backs with one foot several times.

FACTORY OFFERS

ABE FALLItlG OFF Not So Many Concerns Are Wanting to Locate Here At Present Time. SHOWS BUSINESS BETTER FACTORIES WHICH ASK SITES AND BONUSES TO LOCATE HERE DO NOT RECEIVE MUCH ENCOURAGEMENT. An indication that business through out the country is very good is shown in that no factories have addressed letters to the Commercial club or similar organizations, asking for information as to the possibilities of locating their plants here. E. M. Haas, secretary of the club, stated this morning that it had been two or three weeks since he had received such an inquiry. In contrast with the present condi tions. Mr. Haas a few months ago received an average of about ten letters per week. Esch of these letters contained the statement that the officials were well pleased with the city and would be glad to locate here If the proper inducements were ' offered. These were, as a rule, a factory site and bonus, amounting in some in stances, to a few thousand dollars and in others to larger amounts. The amount of bonus asked usually depend ed on the number of workmen em ployed. None of these letters were respond ed to by the club. When a bonus is asked the factory in question is usual ly put down as one weak financially. The fact that no requests have been received recently also Indicates that the factories are busy according to Mr. Haas. He does not expect to receive as many letters in the future from concerns wishing a new start as he believes that they are again on their feet by reason of better business con ditions. Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye (Copyright, IMS, by American Pi ess Association.! TBE BEST WIVES. The working girl makes the best wife, .-v So says Tresident Mary E. WooUey, head of Mount Holyoke college, one of the leading colleges for girls. Statistics show that less than 00 per cent of womeu college graduates marry; also that those who do marry seldom or never bare large families. ? ' It stands to reason the working girl or the business girl should, as a rule, make a better wife than the highly educated girl or the girl reared in luxury or Idleness. When the working girl gets her borne she appreciates It to th full. She has been accustomed to work for a stated number of hours six days in every week, subject to the orders of her employer. In her home b Is her Own mistress. She takes orders from no one; slso she is able to arrange for hours of leisure and relaxation. She feels that her lot is Improved. The college girl or the girl who has been reared without work, on the other band, feels that the labor of housekeeping Is a burden. It is distasteful to her. She complains. She prefers a family hotel or a boarding house. And that wsy lies the divorce court or. at the best, domestic difficulties. Tbe business girt makes a good wife. She is accustomed to earn her living. She knows how many cent. are in a dollar. She knows how to reduce the business of housekeeping to a system. Things run smoothly in her home, and abe Is a treasure to the batiband who gets her.': Also, be it said, the farm-,T"s daughter usually makes an ideal wife. She has good health and good spirits and has been trained to housekeeping from her youth up. Wives who are brought up to work sre seldom found in the divorce court. This clssa of wives do not make the mistake of living beyond their husbands' means a fruitful source of domestic trouble. ; It is the girl who has txien brought ap to play tbe piano, while mother doc the washing, or tbe girl who goes sway to school, with no sympathy for the sacrifice of her parents, who has little conception of household economies or the ability or taste for honwkeeplng. Now. this is no screed against higher education. . There is a call and a cai-eer for tbe cultured, public spirited woman out side of matrimony. Bui lt is nevertheless true thst the real mothers of the race must come from tbe ranks of the working girls. How's This?

Chicago. June 26. Frederick Patser, It McReyaolds street was a real nice young man Wednesday morning, with $18 in his pockets. And he did not know, what a "taximeter bun" was.' Yesterday Frederick was fully ac quainted with the Joys and sorrows of the aforesaid style of inebriation. Al so, he did r.ot have the SIS. But he did have an automobile bill of $14 and a police court fine of SS and costa staring him in the face. Therefore Frederick was sadder much sadder and wiser very much wiser. " With the SIS spread over hi per son in the form of Si and SS bills.

Fair Luna Merely a Planet States California Astwnorhtr

San Francisco, Cal.. June 21 Prof. T. J. J. See, astronomer in charge of the naval observatory at Mare Island states that be has mathematically proved a discovery thst the moon Is a planet captured by the earth from space, and not a detached portion of our globe. , He rejects entirely the long accepted theories of Laplace and Sir George Darwin, ascribing earthly origin to the moon, and asserts thst his discovery Is supported by rigorous mathematical proof based on the. methods of Hill, Poincare and Darwin. Prof. Sees announcement was made in a paper presented to the meeting of the Astronomical society of the Pacific coast and is a further development of his discovery promulgated last January, that all planets and satellites sre captured bodies, and that their orbits have reduced in sise snd rounded up under the secular action of the nebular resisting medium one prevading the solar system. In his former paper presenting this theory Prof. See showed how these bodies, which once revolved around the sun like the asteroids now do, had

A HEROIC PltEACIIER Houlton, Me, Juno Js. While U ty-three young people wars atrtssUng for life la Fish River at Fort Kent last night after the eepslslng of a fer ryboat, the Rev. Arthur Do Casy. pas tor of th Catholic church at Ft stent. plunged into the water and brought some of the party to shore. Tares girls were drowned la tho swift current and the20 others were either carried or swam to shore. Those who boarded the ferryboat wr members of a party who were going to attend a fair given by the St Louis parish at Ft Kent when th party discovered tho boat had sprung a leak. Tho children rushed to tho other side and tt capsized. H. BORDER RELEASED Herbert Burden, who was arrested yesterdsy for tho theft of cement working tools was released by tho police. Burden restored th stolon property. The man has been before a sanity commission and there Is a question of his mentality. Tho prosecutor did not want to put a chargo against him under tho circumstances. made circuits close about tho planets. In tho neighborhood of a planet like Jupiter tho sphere of tho sun's control was shown to have an extension or protuberance on it like tho neck of a bottle, or hour glass with very unequsl bulbs, and when the small ; bodies moving about tho sun came into this neck they could revolve about Jupiter and in many cases again return to their paths about the sun.' In other esses after revolving about . , Jupiter they would be csptured by tho action of tho nebulous resisting median cf the planet and stay there forever as satellites. By revolving about the planet for a long time their orbits would rounded up into almost perfect circles, and made smaller and amaller, tUl they became just like the sat&tta orbits are now observed to be.
