Community Policy

. When the committee from Richmond went to Cambridge City to-ascer-taln whether the factory there might be transferred to Richmond we at first thought believed it was an unfriendly act toward another community in Wayne county. Hut it does not turn out to be so. Hy the raisins of the tracks between here, and Indianapolis on the Pennsylvania lines it become impossible for switching and yarding to be done at Cambridge City and hrnce the factory must move. We believe the Cambridge City people Know this better than anyon.else mi it is no n-ws to them but simply needs to be mentioned let other people mistake the attitude of Richmond as expressed througn the committee. Kveryone in Wayne county will be of our opinion we believe that if it conies to a place where an industry must move to some larger plac.; that it Jh better that it remain in the county than that it move outright from Ihe community. And the Inclination of the Ilertseh Bros, of Cambridge is precisely this. We are informed also that the nun in their employ want to come lo Richmond and we are glad that they feel that way. A.s a matter affecting the public welfare we can express what we know to be the sentiment In Richmond that there is no disposition to make Richmond grow at the expense or a smaller place in the same community. That would not make the whole community stronger and that is all lhat Richmond is working lor through its Fall Festivals and Coin Schools and other enterprises fur the ener i". good.

Plenty of Time

Whether the technicalities of the law as found by City Attorney Gardner provide for the postponement of the water works question or not it certainly seems to us that in view of the circumstances which surrounded the proposal of the company and its handling that it would be a mighty good thing if the proposal were very carefully looked over without hurry. There is no rush about this thing that we can sec.

Ilefore this situation arose it seemed to us that: There should be full publicity. There should be mature consideration. There should be no hurry.

We have already done our best to get this before the people and have for the last few weeks been giving the readers of this paper practically all the news on the subject that has come to light and it did not tome to light without considerable effort. From now on we hope that full publicity will come through all the papers since it has progressed from the star chamber period.

In fairness to the company though perhaps they ought to bear some burden for allowing this course or procedure we hope this will be sell led without further friction. It Is a business proiosition. We believe that the people of this town can discuss this proposition as a matter of business without heat and with a thoroughness that has not been credited to them by the preliminaries that the situation has shown lo dale. If we without having seen the contract were to express an opinion we would say that the two most difficult things to determine on are the valuation and the rates. That will take time it ought to take time. Why should this be rushed through? There is pletny of time.

WHAT OTHERS SAY THE SARATOGA BATTLEFIELD From the .New York Sun. The renewal of the demand for a -tate park on the battlefield of Saratoga merits the success which Gov. Dlx'H championship seems to promise to it. Of nil the famous battlefields on this continent none has deserved better or fared worse at the hands of the American people than that on which the decisive blow for independ ence was actually struck. Millions have been spent to mark the places of contest between the north and south on a score of fields in the civil war, yet at Saratoga, where the north and south, the Virginia riflemen and the New Kngland minute men. together repulsed the invaders, there stand today only half a dozen unsightly and illplaced stones, monuments rather to their donors thajt to the place or person they should celebrate. Yet seldom has the opportunity for preserving the battlefield as it was on the day of conflict been offered more admirably than at Saratoga. A century and a quarter have hardly disturbed the terrain. No town, no railroad, nothing has come to destroy the contemporary value of the field map which Hurgoyne's engineers prepared for him in the long days when his waiting army halted at Freeman's farm, and the map remains the one satisfying guide to the battleground.

" All-British shopping week" was ushered in today as the culmination of a widespread movement to induce the English consumer to buy English-made goods in increasing quantities. The movement is aimed especially at German competition which in the past few years has seriously threatened the prosperity of the English manufacturers. Leading shopkeepers of I.ondon and of all the larger provincial cities have agreed thi't for an entire week they will display only British-made goods in their windows and on their counters.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

Copyright. 1 90S, by Edwji A. Nye LOS1 MOTION. An average bricklayer will lay about 1,000 bricks in one day. The same mau working under Improved methods will lay as many 2,700 bricks in one day. The difference? t'nder the old methods there is too much lost motion. The bricklayer must make some eighteen motions in laying one brick; also in bending over to lift the brick he lifts not only sii pounds of brick, but about 100 pounds of brick mason. See? In lifting l.OOO bricks, under the old system, be lifts 100.000 pounds of brick mason. Under the new efficiency methods an unskilled laborer is hired to put the brick .where the mason will not be compelled to stoop to get It. Again, under the old system a brick mason must toss the brick in the air. turning it over until his touch tells him which is the top. Did you know a handmade brick has a top? Under the new method the bricks are carefully piled in front of the mason right side up. Moreover, under the old way the mason taps the brick several times to make it settle properly. The new way provides that the mortar shall be thinner, so that the brick settles into place of its own freight. Little things. Yes, but they make up the difference between laying 1,000 bricks and 2.700 bricks in one day, and it is easy to see how impossible it would be for in contractor under the old system to compete with a contractor under the new. Lost motion that measures the difference. Is there such n thing in your business or profession? Maybe it is because you or your employer still bend over to get the brick that your competitor down the street is getting the better of you. There Is lost motion with you. lie cuts out every unnecessary turn. Lost motion. Any of that in your life? How about your health? Is there lack of harmony, of efficiency, of exercise, of regularity In the care of your health? Are you lifting yourself, like the brick mason, too many times a day? Lost motion. How about your mental health? Do you keep the bricks piled up in front of you, or do you waste many precious hours dabbling at this and that? You cannot expect your mind to build itself up when you lose efficiency la turning the bricks right side up. Lost motion. Your moral health? Are you building up the wall of character steadily? How about the mortar? Is It too thick? Are you the victim of lost motion? A MAN CREMATED IN HIS BAKESHOP (American News Service) Lynn, Mass., March 27. Howard Gardner, aged 55, baker with a shop at 37 Ireson street, was burned to death in a fire which endangered the lives of about 50 men in the fourstory building at :7 Ireson street. The lodgers were saved by Patrick Sullivan, a boy who saw the flames from his room in the rear of the Ireson street house and roused the sleepers. An Expensive Habit.

A BUSINESS REVIEW OF THE PAST WEEK BY HENRY CLEWS

The better undertone noticed in these advices during the past two weeks is making slow but certain progress. Notwithstanding tlie dullness in business there is a distinctly more cheerful tone in financial circles main influence contributing to The this change is the abundance of cheap money, in all parts of the world there is a pletiiora of idle funds at low rates, and this is especially true of the Uniled States. To a limited extent this is a result of continued large gold production; but it is mainly due to the inactivity of business and speculation, which causes funds to accumulate, and ,to a decline in commodities, enabling a given sum to go further. The greatest accumulation of idle money is at New York because interior banks force their surplus u)mju their .ev ork correspondents in tae hope ttiat the latter may he able to find employment even at low rales. At the moment there is a good deal of nearby ...vwi. ,1, 1 11 li , . l. .1. II lo like - ly to b" required for the next three or lour months. Europe owes us large sums on account of security purchases and in payment for our exports, and under present conditions it pays better to allow these sums to remain abroad as loans. Later on in the year when the interior begins to withdraw its funds from this center then, if not sooner, we may expect gold imports upon a liberal scale. This week currency shipments to the interior have been on a more liberal scale owing to preparations for April settlements, after w'.iich these funds will return to New York. . i During the eight months of the fiscal i year, or up to March 1. our foreign trade showed an excess in exports' over imports ot $4 IS.IHH),10I, compared with an excess of $1SS, 000,000 a year ago. This is a turn for the better of $2;!0,000,000 in our foreign trade balance; a change of almost startling and certainly very encouraging proportions. Conditions are such as to favor a continuation of this tendency, for commodities are declining here and tending to rise abroad; a situation which naturally discourages imports and stimulates exports. In the two months of January and February our exports were $104,000,000 larger than in the same two months last year, and left a trade balance in our favor of $127,000,000. Crop reports with few exceptions are of a satisfactory character. The winter has been a favorable one for both the soil and winter wheat, a liberal covering of snow and plenty of moisture having done thus far all that nature can to secure the next harvest. All indications point to a liberal increase in the acreage of our principal crops, also a marked increase of care in cultivation. The farmer equally wit.i the manufacturer will now- be obliged to consider efficiency and economy; only in his case intensification will be the policy, the object being to secure a larger product per acre along with a higher degree of quality. it. will be argued by some t.iat business reaction, tariff agitation. Supreme Court decisions and other unfavorable conditions with which we are all familiar will prevent any improvement in the stock market. There is one reply to this argument, which is taat these conditions have been known for months and are thoroughly discounted. They no longer have the effect upon the market which they once had. For months Wall Street has been the most pessimistic spot in the country, and this when business and in-j dustrial activity was at its height. The! truth is that Wall Street was then dis-1 counting in advance a situation which is now generally recognized. It may not be pleasant, still it is proper to call attention to the fact that Wall ! Street was correct in its prognostics-1 tions. No doubt it ie equally correct in now assuming a more hopeful at-i titude, for today Wall Street is un-i

questionably the most cheerful s;ot in the country. Our leading financiers appreciate full well the power of cheap money as a stimulant to values and

! enterprise, and they realize better than anyone else the significance of the return in our foreign trade to more normal conditions, it is not the volume of this foreign trado that is of influence, so much as the significant changes in fundamental conditions which it implies. Already there has been a very considerable absorption of bonds and high class in vestments by wealthy individuals and concerns who consider it good business where principal is safe to invest in sound securities paying 4 and ! per cent when money can be borj rowed as low as 2l2 per cent. Opera lions of this character give the market a hardening tendencv and show ! encouraging bed-rock conditions it 1 is quite possible that the market may receive temporary setbacks, and it is realized that the poor condition of business must affect investment conditions. Nevertheless good securities bought with discretion at present levels will undoubtedly yield goi.nl profits in due season. Wall Street is already beginning to discount trade recovery, although the latter may lie deferred until liquidation is more complete. Harmony In the Leaves of a Tree. One of the remarkable characteristics of a tree Is the process of leafage, and if we examiue the bough upon which the leaves grow the admiration of the scientific agriculturist will become tfioronghly aroused over the perfect consistency and artistic skill manifested in the arrangement of each spray and the exact number of leaves arranged with the most exquisite art and regularity. Every group of leaves forms merely long lines, no two alike, no two in the same position, yet all so perfect and harmoniously blended that there can be no antagonism, no sameness and all those thousands and thousands of strange and delicate forms grouped together, neither confused nor ill arranged Answered.
