JHIeart to ISIcart Talks ' By JAMES A. EDGERTOlf

REAL4TT AMP COUNTERFEIT. Some people) object to the word "goodness" or My they do, bat down In hi Inmost beart there Is no human being- who object to the reality ol . what that word means. What he doea object to perhaps It the way In which the term la nsed and the character of some who ose It In this he Is at least partly right. The way to preach goodness Is to live It That Is infinitely better than all the words about it An 'ounce of good works is better than a ton of good words. The change of one letter here means all the difference between promise and performance. The trouble with many who talk of goodness Is that they do it in a way that sounds like a reproach. That is not goodness. It is self righteousness, and condemnation. Others use the word as a cloak. They are hypocrites. Yet let us not make the mistake of rejecting the right because some hypocrite loudly professes It We must only learn to discriminate between the genuine and the counterfeit Because some one passes a bad coin on us is no reason that we should thereafter refuse good money. Because one chair breaks under us is no reason that we should resolve never to sit again. Because one friend proves false Is no reason that we should conclude there is no true friendship. Because there are some hypocrites is no reason that we should reject truth or sincere people.

The world is as fall of goodness as it is of sunshine. In bis heart of hearts

erery one wants to be good.

I want to be good, and! hare no false shame in saying it before the

world. I fall far short of the mark, but this is only stumbling in the path.

Despite all the missteps, there ever sings a little song in my heart "I

want to be good, I want to be good."

So do you. Now, honor bright, don't

you?, We may not agree in all our stand

arda; but according to our own lights,

we want to do the right thing. Of eonrse we) do. Wen, then let's do it Why not?

But lefs doat talk about it; lef s

nre it

One being wbo Xtres goodness has a better effect on others than a thousand sermons. I know this because I have

seen it work, and you know it

The goodness that is talked about is

often a counterfeit but the goodness that Is lived is the true coin.

SAVED A DOUGLAS, k WVHam ftameey. Quick wit at the Battle of Peltiers. Inhs) battle of Poitiers (3356) a number of Scottish soldiers fought on. the side Of the French, and several of them were taken prisoners by the English. Among them was Sir Archibald Douglas. Being dressed in a suit of splendid armor, the victors thought they had captured as Indeed they had some great nobleman. Several of the Eng ltah were about to strip off his armor when Sir William Ramsay of Colluthio, who was also a prisoner, happening to catch Sir Archibald's eye, gave him a meaning look. Pretending to be very angry, he cried out: "You rascal, how is it that you are wearing your master's. armor? Come here and pull off my boots!" Douglas, seemingly thoroughly cowed, went humbly forward and drew oft! a boot,

with which Sir William began to beat him. The English onlookers at once interfered on Douglas behalf, sayinj

that he was a person of great rank and a lord. "What!" shouted Kamsay. "He a lord? Why, he is a base knaTe and, I suppose, has slain his master. Go, you villain, and search the field for the body of my cousin, your master, and when you have found it let me know, that I may give It decent burial." All this was acted so naturally that the English allowed Kamsay to ransom the pretended manservant for 40 shillings. The money having been paid. Sir William gave Douglas another thrashing and then bade him begone. Sir Archibald lost no time in effecting his escape, which he owed solely to the ingenuity of his friend. .

Richmond Should Be Thankful. Richmond people should be deeply thankful that they have been spared the fate of their neighbors in stricken Dayton, once the Gem City of Ohio, now a city of woe, its beautiful buildings battered by an angry yellow torrent and the corpses of its citizens floating down its once beautiful thoroughfares. Tuesday morning when daylight showed the havoc wrought by the flood waters of the usually placid Whitewater, Richmond citizens estimated their property losses well into the thousands and they believed their city had been dealt a brutal blow by an unkind fate, but when the true horrors of the catastrophes which visited Dayton and other Ohio and Indiana cities began to slowly percolate over the few wires left standing they realized that Richmond's loss was puny in comparison. Dayton, Piqua, Peru, Hamilton and other of our neighbors devastated by the terrible storm of Monday stand in dire need of assistance and Richmond citizens should see to it that they generously answer any appeals for help they may receive. Dayton; our nearest neighbor, undoubtedly stands most in need of a helping hand and Mayor Zimmerman is preparing to provide relief for that city as soon as it is possible to rush clothing, food and other necessities there by traction or railroad. When the mayor's call for contributions for the relief of Dayton comes let every citizen who can afford to do so tender generous donations out of a spirit of gratitude that the storm king claimed as his tribute from Richmond only bridges, barns and telephone poles not the lives of hundreds of its citizens.

Good City Government.

EDITORIAL VIEWS.

Tonight in all the wards of the city, the Progressives meet for the purpose of electing precinct chairmen, who, in turn will select the city committee to have charge of the next city election. Will you be one of the men who will attend the ward meetings and assist in the selection of a committee that will have the real interests of the city at heart? We often hear men complaining of the way the city is governed, but those very men are the ones who never take the trouble of attending ward meetings. Do you know that under our present system of government the voter has more power in his ward meeting than at the polls on election day? A political boss once made the following remark : "The people will not go to the trouble to do anything for themselves so we must do it for them, and of course we must have our pay one way or the other." This same political boss could have done .nothing at the election if his plans had been defeated at the ward meetings. All the machinery for the political boss revolves about the ward meetings and if he is unsuccessful there you have administered a crushing defeat to him. The people can rule if they will, by attending their ward meetings and assisting to select the men who govern our city election.

A Lesson the Storm Taught The terrible storm of Monday has served to emphasize the necessity of permanently improving the streets of Richmond with brick paving. A great majority of the macadam streets have been practically ruined by Monday's deluge and it will cost thousands of dollars to place them in proper, repair. On tjie other hand the brick streets nave been greatly benefited by the drenching they received and were as clean this morning as though the street gang had gone over them with scrub brushes. The original cost of a brick street is considerably more than the cost of making a macadam street, but in ten years' time a macadam street will have cost more for its maintenance than the expense of putting down a permanently improved thoroughfare. Richmond's fund for street improvements for the current year has already been exhausted and to repair the streets damaged by the storm of Monday will cost, at a rough estimate, $25,000. Where is the money to come from?

PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS' LOSSES

The Pennsylvania railway company will lose approximately $350,000 from the effects of the water, according to reports from the local offices. Tho C. & O. railway company loss will reach a stupenduous figure. The bridge across the Whitewater river north of the city cannot be repaired until the water subsides. Other washouts will raise the loss to about $100,000. The Terre Haute, Indianapolis and Eastern Traction company's loss will be approximately $35,000, and twice that amount will barely cover the

damage to the Ohio Electric interurban company. The Light Heat and Power company's loss will be $3,000 but the city plant will not lose more than $100. Both plants are operating full force of machinery now.

Veteran off 82 Life Saved

Mr. W. C Atkinson is filled with enthusiasm over his complete recovery from grip and loss of appetite. 'I myself do firmly believe that had I not seen the advertisement of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey on my return to my country home from the National Soldiers Home in Tenn., I would have died, as I had taken a very severe cold which gave me grip and I could not eat enough to give strength. Right then I bought 6 bottles. It helped me so much that I vowed that thereafter I would not be without it "I know that, taken as prescribed, it is certainly good for old people. I am a veteran of the Mexican War of 1&46. I was

a musician only 17 years of age. I was 82 years old September 25th. Born in 1830. Very distinctly do I remember seeing the stars fall" W. C. Atkinson, Russell ville, Tenn.

MR. W. a ATKINSON S2 yean old.

PRESS MUZZLING. (Louik ville Courier-Journal.) Under Indiana's new press muzzling law about the worst that any newspaper will be permitted to say of any politician is 'that he is a gentleman and a scholar. In discussing the claims of candidates hereafter it will be necessary, it would seem, to refer to that gentry only In a manner somewhat similar to those articles of superlative adulation which appear In the rural weeklies after the candidate haa paid his $5 or $10 in advance for a formal announcement of his candidacy. The average politician who has had an experience of that kind feels that the paper honored with his cash-in-advance announcement is under eternal obligations to him, and should be everlastingly at his service thereafter. This, despite the fact that he may not have paid a cent on subscription "since old Hec was a pup," and may have been the recipient of numerous past favors at the hands of the publisher. Probably there is no member of the Indiana legislature who did not solicit newspaper support or assistance of some kind when he was making his race for nomination and election. Probably a majority of those who compose the legislature owe their election largely to the favor of the newspapers. The character of gratitude that is felt Is evidenced by the passage of the press-muzzling law. an act which, if held valid, would very greatly embarass the newspapers In their treatment of public questions, and would virtually forbid any criticism of any politician, however, corrupt or unworthy he might be. There are ver few papers which make a living from politics. The average paper could not live six months if it depended solely upon politicians for its support. The tendency among present-day newspapers is to get away from partisan politics, and there is small wonder that such is the case. It is rather strange that so many of the men in politics are so utterly blind to the signs of the times.

the whims of some half-baked thinker, who never would be full-grown even if he lived to be a methuselah, you are liable to be denounced in public as the tool of these same forces of evil. All this is . to be expected so long as one lives in a world where so many people do thir thinking with their livers instead of their brains. At the same time there is no reason why one should permit this to disturb his complacency. Marion Chronicle. And what is true of newspapers in cities like those above, is true also in cities of lesser importance, where the editor has a score or more of things to do every day, and very often has little or no time to give important matters the study and consideration necessary before he can write about them with any degree of clearness or Intelligence. With the small office and the small newspaper, only a certain amount of work can be handled and it Is out of the question to conduct the paper as If it were a metropolitan sheet. It is therefore the business of a newspaper man to move and act in accordance with his means and the field In which be operates, and then let the croaker croak and the kickers kick.

5ai;e Money on your Fencing by Putting up the Style Made to Meet your Requirements

It's downright foolishness to buy light chicken wire to put around your bull pasture and you know it. But some people do it because they don't think beyond the price-ticket on the roll of fence at least not until they've had to patch the chicken wire a dozen times or so where that bull went through.

Then they put up a brand new stock fence. There's no economy in that kind of fence-buying. The right fence in the first place costs less. Our free catalogue tells how to buy fencing economically, effectively, wisely. Get it today and save money.
