stenographer, who was discharged by
Secretary Ballinger yesterday for giv

on the witness stand before the Ballinger-Pinchot investigating committee. Kerby admitted a close friendship between, himself and former Secretary Garfield. He said he had not heretofore desired to be c?Jled as a witness before the investigating committee because he "wished to retain his position," and he knew what had happened to Glavis." Kerby related the circumstances which led up to his exposure of last Saturday. Kerby said that about the time of the presidents letter exonerating Ballinger, he had talked with Hugh A. Brown, formerly
secretary to Garfield, and had told him as a matter of fact it had been
practically written in Ballinger's of
fice.
Later he had been called on by news
paper correspondents ana naa given
out the story to one of them, repre
senting an Ohio paper.
Attorney Vertrees endeavored to
show that Garfield has inspired the
statement, but Kerby declared that Garfield had said that too many jobs had been secrif iced to the controversy already.

BY PROF. WILL EARHART. A Symphony Orchestra in a town
the size of Richmond is a project unique enough to bespeak attention. In the discussion aroused values are not always seen correctly.
Such an organization cannot be a
one man affair. It requires the cooperation of many earnest people. The
effort of each one of these people is an integral and indispensable part of
the result, and should be valued ac
cordingly. The people concerned are a sufficient number of musicians, an adequate business or managerial force, and a large body of right-minded citizens as patrons. Failure of any one of these factors means failure in the result. On the side of the musician the sup
port has been such as to confer on those taking part lasting honor. When fifty-five people meet for two years
every Sunday afternoon from October to May in the Interest of a progressive movement, they have performed a
public service. It is idle to say that
they have, in so doing also secured
pleasure or benefit for themselves.
Any community should be grateful
when a large body of its citizens finds
pleasure in activities that are dis
tinctly of public good. 1
The pleasure and benefit undoubtedy deserved by the members of the or
chestra must often have been of a very broad and altruistic sort. The orchestra is not by any means all amateurs.
The concert master is Mr. F. K.
Hicks, a violinist of such ability that
he was this year offered a place in the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Not
only has he faithfully rehearsed, long after the parts presented no further progress for him, but he and Mr. Walter Runge were the original promoters
of the orchestra and Mr. Hicks held the forces together and directed for a time until the final organization was effected.
His pupils number a decided major
ity, of all the violins in the orchestra
and consequently his teaching and playing must be regarded as vitally
Bad to important to the success of the pro
ject
Other musicians whose labors in the
cause because of their experienced musicianship cannot be looked upon as narrowly self-educational, but rather
broadly musical, : are Mr. V. O. Wil
liams, Mr. Jesse Woods, Mr. Harry Seifert. Mr. Henry Runge, Mr. Edward
Scharff, Mr. Robert Wilson. Mr.
Charles Groce, Mr. John Connolly, Mr.
Albert Foster, Mr. Lewis' King, Mr. Charles Wilson. Of these, Mr. Wil
liams, Mr. Woods, Mr. Runge and Mr.
King, like Mr. Hicks, have pupils in
the orchestra and so are doubly influ ential.
Where all are so deserving it seems
graceless to single any out. The com
plete list ot members, as given in the
May Festival booklet, should be con
sidered as a veritable roll of honor;
for if space permitted, instances of
the finest spirit and greatest self-sac
rifice on the part of other members
could be multiplied indefinitely.
A word as to the other phases. The High School orchestra has been said
to form the nucleus of the Symphony
orchestra. It should rather be said
that it forms the hope of the Sym
phony orchestra; for its greatest value is that' it promises with the help of the
able instrumental teachers of the city,
constantly to furnish new orchestral
material. And here the good offices of the other factors are seen. When the High School orchestra endeavored to add oboes, bassoons and French horns
to its ranks for its betterment and to the musical good of the community the business men and citizens subscribed
for five hundred dollars' worth of
journal then issued. The result is
that players of these necessary instru
ments may now be trained for future service. This is an achievement by the whole community, led by the High
School teachers and an enlightened
superintendent and board of education.
tendent of the National . Training School for Boys, in Washington. D. C, made an appeal for a country-wide agitation in favor of a number of bills now pending in congress. President Darnall said in part: 'With the comins of Cain into the home of Adam and Eve a peculiar responsibility concerning mankind was transferred from God to man. With the evolution of the agencies of mankind it has been found necessary that this responsibility be shared by the home (parents); society and governmental authority. At no time since the birth of the first child, perhaps, has so much stress been placed upon
the child, its rights and duties, as ati
the present time, and in no country
in the world have such advance steps been taken in the conservation of
childhood as in our own.
"The initiative in governmental child-conserving work has usually been taken by local governments. The great interest taken in this work by country and state governments beiii'g a logical sequence. "As an individual is not only a citizen of the local community in which he claims his residence but a citizen
of his country and state, he is also a citizen of the United States, and the federal government must be and is interested in those things which make
for better citizenship. While our local, county and state governments
have done admirable work in all lines
looking to a better, stronger and saper
citizenship growing out of properly protected and directed childhood, we, should not underestimate what the federal government has done, is doing, and we believe will do, for this great class of our little citizens. There are some things which perhaps the federal government cannot do because of constitutional limitations, but there are
in addition to what she has done many things which might be done.
"Congress wants; to. do the right thing. Perhaps what is needed then is agitation agitation along the line ot needed legislation which will result in a better citizenship by studying the
child, its interests and its relation to the home, society and the government. "The Owen Public Health Bill, the
Beveridge Child Iilor Bill, the Parsons Childrens' Bureau BUI, the Davis ,1 TiAf4.,n. ' . . . 1 .1 1.--, 4, .s..-,
Bill, the Parker and Sterling National '
Parole and Probation Bills, and other measures now pending in Congress are all worthy of serious consideration on the part of those of us interested in preventative and corrective work, and at the same time they show the
great interest which is being takenNin . . t . . i ,
i inese uve questions oy our nauonat
law-makers and others of national
reputation."

RAPID CURES OF ECZEMA All Skin Troubles Yield Readily to
This New Healing Agent.
In stopping the itching attending eczema, or any itching skin disease,
The town at large can Justly take pride once 8e8 all' pnysical
in it.
Nothing that can be said here can
give the Commercial club fairer fame in the city; but the heavy financial
responsibilities so cheerfully assumed the arduous labor so readily undertaken, all without hope of gain, or, as is the case with the musicians, the prospect of some personal educational benefit, makes the part borne by the members of the club singularly admirable. This should be recognized by the musicians and the public, even as the club recognizes the parts played by the two factors, and as the public should recognize the efforts of the club and the musicians. Which is to say , again that the orchestra (and all of this might be said
as appropriately of the chorus) repre
sents a work by . three distinct ele
ments in tne community, to one or
the other of which every individual citizen should belong, and in achievements of which every individual citi
zen may take pleasure and pride in
proportion to the interest and support
he has given.
HE FELL FROM LOFT
While slightly intoxicated it is said,
Jack Drifmeyer, fell through the open
ing in the loft at Shofer's livery barn on South Sixth street last night and cut an ugly gash in the side of his head. The man was rendered unconscious and several ; stitches were required to close the wound. The accident is almost exactly similar to the one In which David Doty met his death several weeks ago.
FLAMOU IS HERO
Robert Flanagan of Indianapolis, formerly of this city, may receive a Carnegie medal for heroism displayed in saving the livea of the Misses Edna and Grace Walters of Indianapolis.
The two young women were driving
a spirited horse which became fright
ened' at a passing automobile and ran
away. Without regard for personal safety, Mr. Flanagan stopped the horse and it , is , believed, saved the lives of
the occupants of the buggy. He was
injured by his action, but is recovering rapidly.

these ills. The very worst cases of
eczema, as well as acne, psoriasis,
herpes, tetter, piles, salt rheum, rash,
