A YOUNG TOWN

The young people of Fountain City

are showing the proper spirit. They

have taken a plot of ground within

the limits of the town and fitted it up

with cement sidewalks, electric lights.

rustic bridges and tennis courts. Of

course that most important of all adjuncts, a convenient number of benches a la "A shady nook and babbling

brook," is not neglected. A recent writer in Munsey's Maga

sine has given the small town in gen

eral a black eye, characterizing it as a place in which there is no life and

activity, and saying that it possesses all the faults of the city and country

without having any of their merits.

There may be some truth in this but more than one poet has extolled the

merits of ."Love in a village."

It is undeniably true that unless the

young people in anj- country town

get together they will see the place degenerate. It is the getting together

of the young people which holds them in the town. More than one New England village stands vacant today, dead and dying because the young life has vanished leaving a few spinsters, cer

tain old men who have come back to die with fragments of their family and a few reminiscences. Then, it is that the town , commences to get "queer." The people get soured with existence because there is nothing to

distract them from themselves.

But the town that does as the young

generation of Fountain. City is doing

is on the up grade. It may even have

an advantage over the city and coun

try both. For there is nothing to keep the circle of friends in a small village

from becoming lifelong friends under such circumstances of constant association.

One thing is certain that if the

young people in any comunity do not

make life attractive for themselves no

one else will do it. It is refreshing to aee them get together and show that

they are energetic enough to make the utmost of their possibilities. And Fountain City should be glad. That is the way the town really must keep llve. Drive out the younger generation and then you know the rest. Fountain City is a young town.

THE CHAUTAUQUA

Plans are already announced for the

Chautauqua this year. As usual tbero will be many people who will avail themselves of the opportunity to combine several things called pleasure, rest, recreation, education and, what not. The Chautauqua is an essentially American institution and has accomplished much good. The chief good has been to resurrect the art of the spoken word. ' l Oratory bid fair to be a lost art for a while.' The newspapers, the magazines and books had relegated oratory to the realm of a four year event in which politics only was the theme of discussion. , There Is something about the Interpretation of a good speaker which cannot, be acquired from print. That is the subtle thing called personality and the emphasis of interpretation, v It Is true that this often degenerates into mer voice and mouthing which falls flat In print, but is bolstered up into a semblance of something by stage presence.. While we disapprove of the flag wav- i

lag exploits of the erstwhile glorious Hanly in unmeasured terms, we are willing to grant that there is a better standard of speakers on the platform today than there has been for some years.-- . Over In the coal mining district around Galiipolis, Ohio, the other day the coal miners who are supposed to be about the lowest stratum of underpaid men in this country kicked to the management of the enterprise against having any more vaudeville in the Chautauqua. They want the real thing.

It is the fault and not the virtue of

Chautauqua ' that the latest tendency

baa been to underestimate the intelli7 gence of their audiences. We hope that the attractions this year will not prove disappointing. The record in the past years has been above the ordinary in standards and there is no reason why it should not keep up to If not above the average.

Of Interest to The Business Men

Some fifteen years ago a man who had made a commercial success and was possessed of independent means decided to invest some of his spare capital in launching a new article. The enterprise was in a field where he had had no previous experience. The only information he had to guide him was hearsay, and second-hand hearsay, at that. Having gotten the . manufacturing problem well in hand, the man approached several big wholesalers whom he did not know, and to whom he was totally unknown. There he met with the usual rebuffs and skepticism with which all launchers of new enterprises are familiar. "Go out and create a demand and then we will talk with you." was the burden of their advice. "Gritted His Teeth." The man .had a good deal of sand in his nature. He gritted his teeth and vowed that they would have to come to him before he would go to them again. He began a vigorous advertising campaign on the consumer. His initial expenditures were way up in the thousands. And this despite there was absolutely no distribution provided for. His only salesmen were newspaper advertisements. In time, the dealers were compelled to stock the article. Before they did o, however, there was tremendous waste resulting from consumers being unable to find the article at any dealer's. Thousands of consumer inquiries must have gone to waste. Eventually, the man won out. But even so, his returns were only a fraction of what they might have been. After fifteen years of heart-breaking anxiety, his investment came back, but the original capital invested in good bonds would have shown better returns on the money. Where the man made his great mistake was in leaving the problems of distribution and salesmanship to take care of themselves. Fighting the battle with the single weapon of newspaper advertising was Napoleonic, but it was foolhardy. The wonder is that advertising under such a handicap should have won out at all. Today no advertising agent who understands his business would permit a client to take such chances. The odds are too greatly in favor of failure, and no agent who has a reputation to maintain cares to put a skeleton In his closet, even if he has to sacrifice a little immediate profitPrinters' Ink.

Items Gathered in From Far and Near

MeCltllan-BIngham Rupture. Mayor McClellan's decision in the Duffy case looks like a deliberate attempt to drive Gen. Bingham from the ofice of police commissioner without

incurring the official responsibility

for his direct removal. That the police were wrong in the Duffy matter admits of no doubt. That Gen. Bingham erred gravely in sustaining his subordinates is hardly open to question. But that does not call for the action Mayor McCIellan has taken in shaking up the police department. It is impossible not to believe that the mayor's action was dictated more by politics than .by any sense of outraged justice over the Duffy matter. Gen. Bingham on the whole has been an excellent police commissioner. The department is in better condition than it has been in years. It Is cleaner, it is more efficient and it is more respected. But it is not so well adapted for political uses. Gen. Bingham's methods have not suited either the mayor's friend, McCarren, in Brooklyn or the mayor's old associates in Tammany. From the beginning of his term they would have been delighted to see Gen. Bingham go. They will be highly gratified that the mayor has at last consulted their wishes. One pretext is as good as another to them.

Hot Weather Fatalities. From the Newark News. The expected is happening. The sudden arrival of a hot spell, early in the summer season, invariably brings with it a long list of fatalities. Not only are the aged and the sick debilitated by it, and many of them lose their lives in consequence, but the young, the vigorous and the healthy fall victims to the heat , or to their own unwise efforts to escape the heat. Young athletes plunge into the water, get cramps because of the sudden chill and are drowned. Men go out in boats, are careless, rock the boat,

fall overboard or are swamped by the

swell of a passing vessel and perish.

The opening of the automobile season brings out every machine and every

variety of driver, wise, unwise and

confirmed fools. And the list of early summer fatalities is greatly increased

by this comparatively new class of accidents. .

Danger rYom Fireworks. From the Baltimore Sun. The precautions which Marshal Farnan is taking to prevent a noisy celebration of the. Fourth of July include a surveillance of shops and small stores, in which the lar prohibiting the sale of fireworks might be evaded. Obviously one of the most effectual methods, of preventing the use of explosives on the streets and elsewhere in the city limits on National Independence day is the strict and prompt enforcement of that law. And the explosion ot firecrackers and bombs on

the streets should bo put under the

ban of the law, not only on toe jrounn of July but on every other day. They are a menace at all times to the se

curity of the public and may result in

fatal accident. i

TWINKLES

The Personal Consideration. "Father, said little Bollo, "what is a plutocrat?" "A plutocrat, my son, is a man who is vastly wealthy, but declines to endow any project In which you are immediately interested." On the Contrary. "The apparel does not make the man," said the ready-made philosopher. "No," answered the man who was signing checks for five-hundred-dollar gowns; "but It may go a long way toward breaking him." Signers of the Declaration. The ancient fathers of our country great Were lucky and secure in wondrous glory They were not called upon to celebrate With things explosive and Inflammatory.

Castles. "A man's house should he his castle." said the patriot. "Yes," answered Mr. Cumrox; "that sounds well. But a lot of the castles I observed while traveling abroad were distinguished by the big mortgages they carried."

The Best Slogan For Richmond? That is what the Young Men's Business Club wants for advertising Richmond. The Club offers a prize of FIVE DOLLARS for the phrase or slogan selected as the most suitable for the fight for a bigger and better town. The Contest will be open from now until 6 p. m. on the evening of July the 6th. Slogans and phrases should be sent to the Slogan Contest Editor of either the Palladium or the Item. Slogans arriving before noon will be published in both papers the same day. Every one is eligible. Send in as many ideas as you have. The judges are to be announced later. What the Club wants is something new, crisp and effective. It wants something that won't wear out because it is to be used permanently in the futur campaign for Richmond enterprise. Address The Slogan Contest Editor At Either The Item or The Palladium Office

Slogans Received

No Extempore Pretensions. "I alius enjoy hearin' the Declaration of Independence read on the Fourth of July," said Farmer Corntossel. "It is a noble document" "Yes. But what I particularly admire about that kind of a program is that it nrevents a professional orator

from etartin' off by sayin' that he did i not expect to be called on fur a j speech." !

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

Copy.lght, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

Copyright, 1303. by American Press Association. J TWO BOYS-PLUS. 4Tbe names of Wilbur and Orville Wright, inventors of the aeroplane, will be written down alongside those of Morse and Edison. And one reason why fa-nie and fortune came to them is because They had a real father and mother: The boys got their mechanical ability from their mother and their power of analysis from their father. From both parents they got sympathy. Mrs. Wright Is one of those rare women who can do things with her hands. She made sleds for her tots and when they grew older she helped them in everything. When Orville was fifteen and Wilbur eleven the boys printed a newspaper. They got in a hurry and left one page blank. Bishop Wright promptly suppressed the whole edition. You see. he was teaching bis boys that work must be well done. Thirteen years ago the Wright brothers began to be Interested in flying machines. They read all the books they could get their hands on and watched the flight of birds whole Sunday afternoons, lying on their backs on the hills near Dayton. O. In 1000. after fire years of study and experiment, they built their first machine and took it down Into North Carolina. They came bach from that summer's work tired and discouraged. The boys found out that summer that all the tables of calculations made by scientists were wrong. They must begin at the bottom and work out the first principles. On the 17th of December. 1903. after hundreds of trial flights with gliding machines, the first successful voyage in the history of the world of a powei driven heavier than air machine rai made. To be sure, the Wright brothers came to their own and their own received them not. They went abroad, and honor and wealth came. And now their own country delights to honor these Dayton men. How did it all come about? Because these boys, doing team work went at a scientific problem in a scien tlfic way and kept at it until they succeeded. Yes, and because they bad a father and mother behind them! . Therefore, if your boy wants to "tinker." let him. It will keep him out of mischief and develop his character. And there may be a genius inside of him.

And. above all. don't throw cold ter on your boy's enthusiasm.
