They Know
"While some declared themselves to be "born bad,' 'naturally bad,' ' 'always Immoral,' others were Tictlms of conditions and circumstances for which they were less responsibb than their families, their employers or the community. In a large propo tlon of cases home conditions contributed to. If they did not cauae the do vnfall of daughters and wivea. ' Intemperate vleloua parenta, or brothers and slaters; deserted, aeparted, and divorced fathers and mothers; homei that forced upon the children, rather than protected them from Immorality, marriages that were sales Into vice; childhood left to grow wild, w.thout religious trsining or any Instruction to develop the Instinct of self-preservation these are some of the domestic conditions from which the cries of lost lives pierce the heart. Crahame Taylor of the Chicago Vice Commission, in the Survey.
Mr. Grahame Taylor Is not a mere crier out about things of which he knows not. His knowledge comes from accurate Information extending over months of careful research. He speaks of the city of Chicago. But what he says applies to every city in the country. It applies to Richmond. The doctors of this town could, if they would, tell a story that would make the everyday citizen shudder. The police can tell another part of the story. But enough of the story is apparent on the streets of Richmond.
It was only the other day that there passed down the street a crowd of four or five pretty girls on their way home from school. They were dressed with the best that could be bought. In this day of the high cost of living one wondered how the fathers and mothers could make the sacrilce and what the sacrifice was. The love that was so displayed by their parents might have been more wisely exercised if some of the Jamboyancy had been tempered In the clothes. For the extravagance that was displayed In the clothes may some day have to be paid for with unhappiness. . It is becoming harder for young men to marry. The young girl who does not know anything but clothes is not apt to be the one that can hold his affection and companionship during a lifetime. More than that the girl who has little knowledge of economy; who cares for nothing but dress; who has acquired the gadding habit, ia the one who presents an obstacle' against marriage and happiness of a lasting sort. This obstacle is at least one of the things which make it far more attractive for young fellows in a town like Richmond to congregate in front of a hotel and cigar stand and endeavor to pick up girls.
There are two general classifications into which most of these things ' fall. The simple wildness of the untamed human animal and the viciousness of precocious childhood with half-knowledge gained from the most vulgar sources. If the thing were put up man to man or woman to woman by real men and real women with no attempt at goody-goody or holier-than-thou talk It would be very different. All of the young girls nnd boys In Richmond come from good stuff they are no hell's-spawn of tenements. They are lively and attractive full of the restlessness of youth. Not many men or women but can find in this situation something in their own past that they have learned could be passed on In a straightforward out-and-out manner tern4 pered with love and gentleness which would help What Grahame Taylor calls "lack of sex physiology and hygiene" has ) caused a great deal more unhappiness and actual crime not to say actual sin in this world than any other one thing. . The civil war denuded the country of some of the best that it had in ! It and left many and many a wreck. The craving for liquor and patent medicines was doubled ' many times over. The growing commercialism the whilrwind change of economic and social conditions the great fortunes and the extreme poverty the thirst for amusement and the craving to appear better than the neighbor all these have played their part.
Already ; political and economic business conditions the tight between what Is called labor and capital or what la really the fight against greed have brought up the question "Is America going to smash?" Nobody likes to think that it is. But when a people commences to show the symptoms of degeneration such as preceded the decay of the French and all the nations that have gone before, it is about time to divorce this thing of privacy and to take a public accounting.
In Introducing this question In Richmond it is not in the sense of slurring manhood and womanhood. We have all of us noticed that things are already improving just because people have been talking it over among themselves. There is a lot of help that comes by getting a thing talked over and sifted out in the good talk that is ready where people get together. There are several things which practically every man and woman worthy of the name will agree to. It Is not a partciularly good thing for girls to run the streets by themselves at the mercy of their own halfknowledge. ' Neither Is it a good thing for boys to get the idea that older people think it the sort of thing that will get a boy a good job if be shows prowess in various forms of "wild oats." Both of these things have healthy and natural outlets and reasons for their being. Why not use them? Any boy can understand what it means to go in training for an athletic event and the fight for existence is getting pretty strenuous. The best thing that could happen to this town is for some popular crowd of young fellows to set the pace: We venture to say that If any one of the groups of young Richmond fellows would call up the head of one of the six largest businesses here men who have made good and who are known all over the world, men who have seen their America and the whole battle of hard knocks and tell him that they would like to have an appointment to talk brass tacks about not only this thing, but also about making good that they could ' have more time than- the man spends for recreation if they wanted it While we have not heard from all these men directly, that is the sentiment of the men who are setting the pace here for business acumen and success. They have all been through the mill. Likewise if the young fellows went td the six most prominent doctors in this town they would find any one ot'them ready to advise them without cost to talk things over In a way In which they had not thought of it If they went to an insurance agent and put it up to him well, insurance agents are pretty wise on matters of living long and comfortably. Bartenders will tell you if they know that you are on the square and not fourflushing whole pages of human life that will lead you to believe that common sense and common decency has respect In -their eyes. They all know. Ask your father he is a mighty; good friend of yours. If you are a girl ask your mother or some woman who looks young at forty, They know. , . '

LATEST IN SHROUDS Funeral Directors Exhibit Hobbles at Session.
THE DRUNKARD. There he goes A hideous thing, and in the shape of a man. Uls soiled clothes speak of the place where he has falleu and wallowed. A staggering gait, a bruised face, glazed eyes and a slavering mouth it is cot a pretty picture. Anon he tries to save the shreds of his personal dignity by a preiosterous effort to stand erect, and anon he relaxes hi face into the smear of a stupid smile. Poor, reeling sot! His body reels and his mind reel. Both hare lost their equilibrium. The boys of the street taunt him and throw things at blm. and he rails back at them in his drunken rage. He says he is going home. Home home to the wife who trembles at hi. coming; home to his children who flee in fear of him! Can there be a more horrid spectacle than this one a man in ruins? And yet Grown men and women find in this exhibition of a man, lowered to plane that is lower than that of s brute, something funny. They nudge one another and smile at the pathetic trials of the poor drunkard to keep his feet. They laugh as if the liquor crazed creature were a chartered clown posturing for their special amusement Surely it is a dull imagination that can find aught in such a display save pity. If to your child such a scene appears to be amusing disabuse his mind. Tell him the truth. Tell him this dipsomaniac is suffering from a terrible disease and needs a physician. Tell him that Instead of Jeers and laughter the unfortunate inebriate needs care and medical treatment. Think of it! Is a sick man, staggering and weak and fevered, a figure to provoke laughter? Said the Christian commander of the Texas at th battle of Santiago: "Don't cheer, boys. The poor devfla are dying!" So the same fine spirit of chivalry should say to the unthinking:
"Don't laugh at the poor devil. He Is going home to make miserable the
lives of those who love him.
Kansas City, Mo., May 11. Hobble skirted gowns to be buried in are on

ory of metal casket and carriages
for all his friends and friends' friends.

Should Sherman White succeed in breaking the record for endurance piano playing at the Coliseum Friday and Saturday, and his supporters are confident that he will do so, he will supercede Roy Harding, who played continuously for 36 hours and 36 minutes at the Palace theater several years ago and who became well known among Richmond people, as the record holder. Since performing his feat in this city, Harding has gone himself one better, having played at the Jewel theater in Hamilton some time ago, for 37 hours and 36 minutes. This is a world's record so far as can be learned and it is this mark that White will try to raise. A grand piano has been placed on
the Coliseum floor and White has
been practicing consistently since yesterday morning in preparation for his nerve-racking performance. The fact that he has been playing for dances regularly during the past several years is greatly in his favor and should stand him in good stead when his powers are put to the test. Despite the enormity of the undertaking and the severe nervous and physical strain which it means, White seems very enthusiastic and confident of his
ability to make himself the record holder. , . t Several drummers of the city have volunteered their services and will accompany 'White, taking turns shout, during his playing in order to relieve
the monotony of the piano tones. White will begin playing Friday morning at 7 o'clock and plans to continue until Saturlay evening at 9 o'clock, establishing a record of 38 hours. At the close of his feat a dance will be given for which the full orchestra of Prof. Hicks will play.
All Banks and Trust Companies will close tomorrow (Friday) at 1 p. m. for the remainder of the day on account of Earlham May Day.
