Btrattan' wai not a knocker, and for that reason his hammering would be heard with interest. Mr. Btrattan first landed on the street cars, criticising in general the poor equipment but not the system; then his hammer fell upon the conditions of the streets in Richmond which he pronounced "bad" and said he believed , even if there was a lack of funds that some money could be raised by some means to at least All the holes. He took a rap at the newspapers saying tbey could make much better use of space than by using It to knock each other. Loud applause was evoked. Mr. Strattan then registered a complaint against

easy mara citizens woo are always udera I in subscribing stock . In .' out-of-town enterprises many of which are unsound. He said moro Interest should be taken in home industries. In closing he pleaded for the consolidation of the Y. M. B. C. and the commercial club on the grounds that the interests of the community could bo, better 'served. . The Hon. John L. Zimmerman made the meaning of his toast "An Independent Thinker," quite clear in the opening sentence, when he contrasted an independent thtnker with an Independent kicker. imvl nar the former vm

'the greatest asset a community could 'have while the latter was the greatest nuisance with 'which It could be afflicted. . Great Questions Up. He said that the men who were able to establish such institutions In Richmond as the Gaar, Scott & Co., the American Seeding Machine company and other concerns were of necessity Independent thinkers and great as

sets to Richmond. He said that dessplte the statements of some great men in the past that all the great questions bad been settled, this country was now facing some of the greateat social, political and constitutional questions that have ever arisen in the world, and for that reason the need of independent thinkers Is apparent. He pointed out Thomas Carlyle, Andrew Johnson and Abraham Lincoln as types of the men of whom he was speaking. Mr. Zimmerman declared that one of the greatest needs of present times was a raising of the standard of commercial ethics, and urged that the Commercial club should expend its energies along this line. He declared In closing that the country must rely upon consecrated citizens who have love for their fellowmen. love for their city and community, and love for their God. For the Young Men. Representing the young blood of the city. Will V. Roller, in a very Interesting address, declared he believed he voiced the opinion of the young men of the city when he said that they were ready, anxious and willing to work for the benefit of Richmond. In a friendly manner be took opposition to the statement of Mr. Strattan that the interests of the city could best be served by a consolidation of the two commercial organizations. He said he believed better results could bo secured by the maintenance of two organizations and he cited several instances In public work to prove his assertion. However, he advocated the establishment of a chamber of commerce where both clubs might have headquarters. Mr. Reller declared that what was needed most in this city was for the business men to get out of the narrow shells which which enclosed them In their business affairs and give more of their time and energy for the benefit of all. Prof. E. P. Trueblood made his debut as a reader of Riley's poems and disbursed many laughs in an adaptation of one of the Hoosier poet's later works to local conditions. Mayor P. P. Poster fit Anderson spoke on "Taxes; High or Low?" He said high taxes that work for the public good are not to be condemned. Lawrence II. Bert son of Cambridge City, spoke on "Pactory Inducements" and related many Interesting and amusing methods by which cities in themiddle west are attempting to secure new industries.

EIGHT WIS OFF Retrenchment of the P. R. R. Affects Richmond.

In keeping with the general retrenchment policy of the Pennsylvania railroad system, eight passenger trains which made Richmond, have been discontinued and the time of two others changed. The number of passenger trains now leaving the local depot has been cut from eighty-three to seventyfive per day. Several of the trains which were taken off were among the fastest on the road and the majority departed from Richmond between noon and midnight. In order to reduce passenger expenses and not distribute the service to so many trains, the following trains were taken off: No. 23, leaving for Chicago at 2:50 p. m.; No. 24, leaving for Cincinnati at 6:40 p. m.; No. 19, leaving for Indianapolis at 4:55 p. m.; No. 40, leaving for Columbus and NewYork at 2:52 p. m.; No. 26, leaving for Columbus and New York at 8:55 p. m.; No. 27, leaving for Indianapolis and St. Louis at 4:40 a. m.; No. 343 leaving for Xenia and Dayton at 8:45 p. m.; and No. 310, leaving Richmond for Dayton at 9:25 p. m. . The Logansport accommodation now departs from the depot ten minutes earlier. Its schedule is 6:30 a. m. The Cincinnati accommodation which has been leaving this city at 7 o'clock in the morning now departs at 6:45 a. m., f fteen minutes earlier.

APPRAISEMENT OF TWP REAL ESTATE Notices of the appraisement of real estate in the township are now being sent out by Wayne township assessor Charles E. Potter. -The average increase in the assessment made by the

deputy assessors was from five to ten per cent. Property owners who are

dissatisfied with the . re-assessment

may appeal to tie county board of review and finally to the tate tax commissioners. However, as the value of

real estate has increased greatly in the

past four years, it i3 believed by the

assessor that there will be little if

any dissatisfaction. Apparently there are not as many dogs in Richmond and Wayne township as a year ago. The dog tax re

ceipts so far total close to $S00, which

is $300 shy of the amount collected at this time a year ago.
