Do You Care?

This Is an age of carelessness and easy going carefreeness. People are 'Just waking up to the fact that while they were busy with their pleaaurea some one has stolen In and taken away the reins of government. No, this Is not Cannonism of which we are to speak. It is not any remote wrong In a distant place not even the nine hundred miles which separate Washington, D. C, from the city of Richmond, Indiana. It Is so close at home that It Is with difficulty that the thing be spoken of with justice and In such manner as to do good without provoking criticism In quarters of this town which do not merit what we shall speak of. And ye't the thing Is not of quarters. It Is very personal. Tonight, after supper when you go down Main street, please look at the number of young girls who are out. Or have you already noticed? They are pretty, yes, and full of youth and spirit, yes, but It is becoming a matter of common knowledge that Richmond Is more than fast becoming a place where girls can be "picked up." To see this statement in print. Is a far different thing than to listen to the talk in cigar stores, in saloons, and restaurants, soda fountains, and in those casual meetings of two or three men or women who know each other well. And yet it is not a matter of talk half so much as it is in sight. Use your eyes or have you seen it? The age of nickel theater, of stock companies, of soda fountains, of automobiles, of interurbans, of the abundance of cheap amusement and cheap transportation has brought with it a public as vacillating as the crowds which gather not once, but every night on the streets of Richmond, Cambridge, Centerville, and other Indiana towns. The thirst, the fever of amusement has left nothing but the desire to be "out. To sit down with a book a good book In the evening has become old fashioned. So has the call on a whole family as well as on one individual In the family. Parents no longer know their children. Children make mock of their parents because they are "old fashioned."

In saying this there Is no appeal to the fanatical 17th century puritanIsm. ' This Is no Billy Sunday talk. But the fact that things are going a little too swiftly in Richmond as in every Indiana community that we know of and neither is It confined to Indiana. But common decency is a different thing from hidebound fanaticism and better fanaticism in the most hidebound form than some of the things that are happening nightly In Richmond. The South Bend Times is a conservative newspaper. Perhaps this will throw some llfht on the specific thing we mean: In a police raid on a hotel of assignation in Gary last Saturday night three prominent society girls of Hammond were arrested with their companions, three young men of .that place and Gary. Sunday morning the mothers of the girls, half distracted, pleaded for their release, and the girls were permitted to go home with them. But what a home coming! How far the mothers are to blame for the lack of proper restraint upon the girls can not be told. Possibly tie society life of the mothers left the girls to themselves, and thus they were led to take the first "steps that take hold on hell." Are there such cireless mothers in South Bend? The old "Park rink" (12th and North B) and the Atalantis Club are gone. . Fathers and mothers may catch the allusion. And yet the segregated evil which was done In the Richmond of those days was a far more harmless thing than the widespread evil of today. If you know a policeman personally ask him. He knows. And yet this Is not the fault of the police. . There are dances occasionally pulled off in Richmond which are avowedly of a character described by the winking and raised eyelid and yet the Palladium will vouch for the statement that these receive full and careful Investigation and surveillance from the police lest harm come to the unwitting and unburdened than do some of the politer and more pretentious affairs which have the stamp of social usage and approval. '

Do not try to saddle the, thing on the police. Do not try to put this on the saloon which in Richmond seems to be the one place where this does not bear direct relation to the topic at hand. The liquor traffic Is directly divorced here from what is called the social evil. Neither seek too far afield for the cause. But look at the things which may be done. There Is for every girl at least one person who is directly responsible. We have already spoken of Gary and Hammond.' Perhaps you would like to see what the papers of Gary and Hammond have to say: ' Hammond has a curfew law, but It has never been enforced. Wherever Is a curfew law properly enforced if enforced at all? Coupled with this, is the fact that scores of girls in short dresses, many of whom are not . over 14 or 15 years of age, the most impressionable age in a girl's life roam the streets at night, meeting the wolves who prey upon their kind. It is a pitiful state of affairs and there ought to be some remedy for it, for it is one of the most dangerous evils that the public, the pulpit and the press has to fight. It is a ' problem that demands attention. There can be no gainsaying the fact it is a serious " problem. The constantly recurring police court cases: the shocking stories of easy virtue that get into the limelight give every evidence of its seriousness. . - People do not get to know of one-twentieth part of these lapses brought about through indiscriminate roaming of the streets. They would not believe them if the truth were told. Parents would not believe that their girls are deceiving them if the proof was brought to them. Yet they are. Do you know where YOUR girl Is tonight? DO YOU CARE?

Please do not try to take comfort or shielding in the fact that this happened in Hammond and Gary. It Is not the police, the saloon, nor any exterior Influence at work it is not the dance, the nickel theater, vaudeville, nor the stock company It is not a thing which can be remedied by a Billy Sunday, an imported evangelist, nor yet a thing which can be much helped In the columns of a newspaper. But look use your eyes and then consider what can be regulated from the home itself.

f There Is enly one question and that Is the one already put by the Times from which we have already quoted. That Is the question: DO YOU CARE? .

WOMAN WITH SUICIDE MANIA IS DEAD Columbus, Ind., May 4. Mrs. Charlotte Long, age fifty-four, committed suicide by hanging at her home near Grammer, Bartholomew county, yesterday. She lived with her mother, Mrs. National Reed, who found her hanging in the smoke house, gasping for breath. Mrs. Long was still breathing when taken down by neighbors her mother called, but died in a few moments. She had been mentally unbalanced for some time. .Most of her relatives

Notes Regarding Cleaning Day

Observed in Richmond Friday

It is as much the duty of the police to enforce the sanitary ordinances of a city as to arrest criminals. The administration in Paris threat ens to compel distributors of circulars to employ persons to follow them for the purpose of picking up and placing in receptacles circulars that have been thrown upon the pavements. In Cologne the inhabitants are oblig ed to clean and sweep the streets be fore their properties to the middle of the streets. Experience has shown that the money spent by the municipalities of Belgium in their attempts to beautify whenever and wherever possible has been recovered a hundred fold by reason of the fact that the more attractive the city the longer visitors re main and so more money is expended The wiser heads have discovered that the City Beautiful is not a luxury, but a necessity for the welfare of the people. Dallas has a new sanitary ordinance which prohibits the throwing of banana peelings or fruit skins on the sidewalk under heavy penalties. The ordinance also forbids the owners of vacant lots to allow weeds to grow. The scattering of handbills about the streets is not permitted, and fruit and huskster stands along the sidewalks are prohibited. Col. Waring of New York City says: "The aim should be to keep a clean city clean, and not to clean a dirty city." Dr. Evans, the distinguished health officer of Chicago says: "If the public could once be aroused to a realization that if dirt and rubbish were not per mitted to accumulate the problem would oe solved and the city would be always clean." In "one city receptacles for refuse bear this catch phrase exhorting to cleanliness: "Be sanitary and you'll be sane." "The greatest need of our cities is men and women fired with civic patriotism, who will not rest or pause until physical and moral cleanliness supplant filth and graft and until all the changes are made which our homes require before they are fit to be the homes of a civilized people. Men and women, girls and boys all which not infrequently demands cour age and self sacrifice. You who read this are you giving aught to your city?" Denver has the reputation among eastern hotel men of being "the one Won't soil skirts or trousers. Handy, clean and quick. No tnrpea tme. No add. THE F. F. D ALLEY CO.. Lad LfcatMo.N.Y. HaaaOtsa.Oa.

A Horoe Lift Cultivator The Horse-Lift feature lies in the fact that the operator simply has to release the lever at his right; the wheels act as a stationary center and the frame is pulled forward by the draft of the horses. This action instantly throws the cultivator into perfect balance. When the lever is released and the top part of the wheel axle and frame move forward, the bar controlling the lift of the gangs is pulled downward, causing-the gangs to rise simultaneously with the balancing of the frame. It is this combined movement, as used on the Janesville, that has so successfully solved the question of balancing a cultivator with the shovels in or out of the soil. At the end of the rows, release the lever and the horses do the rest. They lift the gangs and balance the cultivator all in one action. TREABBjZ GUIDED The Treadle Guides which can be used on the gangs of all Straddle Seat cultivators, place the gangs under complete control at all times, and reduce guiding to an unconscious effort. The gangs are naturally drawn in toward the row on account of a spring provided for that purpose.. Pressure downward on the treadle swings the gang away. Compare this with the old side swinging method. The Janesville Cultivator can be shipped with four, six or eight shovels, spring trip or pin break gangs. All gangs are interchangeable on all Janesville Cultivators except the Hammock seat. This universal arrangement is greatly appreciated by anyone handling more than one style of Janesville Cultivators. For surface cultivation one can change from the Shovel to the Gopher Gang attachment at small expense. . Sprints Trip Adjustment There is no style of spring trip so easy to adjust as the Janesville. By adjusting the nut at the top of the spring and the revolving stop at the outer end of the bracket, it can be made to trip to suit any requirement.

clean city" of America. They always speak of Denver as a "one-collar city." Why, they ask? A man can put on a clean collar in the morning there and wear it all day and still look neat. Some Insist it can even be worn two days with decency. Chicago is known as the four-collar city; St. Louis as a

three-collar city and New York is a five-collar and three shirt city. As a man is judged by his linen, so a city must submit to the stamp which Its clean or unclean conditions put upon it. Remember that keeping the city tidy rests primarily on the Individual residents, and that your example is powerful in your own block. You are a patron and have influence. Be sure that you are not the Pharisee. The waste paper and rubbish which disfigures our city comes chiefly from private homes. CLEANING DAY COUPON.
