THE AVERAGE MAN. ' The standard of any natioa la maintained by the average of ita citizenship. The exceptional man get the notice In the newspapers and biographical dictionaries, but the average man does the work of the world and upholds the character of civilization. - The average man Is the substantial part of the structure of the state, while the exceptional man constitutes the ornaments and trimmings. The average man fights the battles, the exceptional man wears the shoulder straps. The average man makes the wealth, the exceptional man appropriates it The average man furnishes the waters In the river of humanity, the exceptional man is the wave that gleams for a moment on Its surface. A civilization can only go forward as the average of humanity goes forward. When, -the few advance at the expense of the many the trend of the whole

linrlr Ik rtnn nwnrd

When the character. Intelligence, prosperity and morality of the common people are high, the statesmanship, literature, art and learning of the exceptional men will be high, just as the waves on a river that is bank full are more plentiful and more beautiful than those of a river dried at Its springs. The solid, substantial citizen, who meets his obligations, fulfills his duties of citizenship, does bis work and Is a good husband and father, is the very cornerstone of all that is wholesome in our civilization. The term man Is here used generically and includes woman, for the high average of womanhood la quite aS important to society as that of manhood. It may not be In our power to be exceptional tnen or women, but it is entirely within our power to help keep the average high. We are required only to make good with the talents given us. By being exemplary average human beings we may be rendering a more Important service to mankind than by glittering our little instant on the crest of the wave. It Is from the sea level and not the top of the wave that all heights and depths are reckoned. There are plenty to offer tributes to the exceptional man. but why not a tribute to the average man who makes

other possible?

Palladium Presses to Print Dayton Herald and Journal

Editor E. G. Burkham Predicts that a Larger and Better City Will Be Erected Places Estimate on Number of Dead at from 300 to 700 Tells Graphic Description of Flood.

E. G. Burkham, editor and publisher of the Dayton Journal and the Dayton Herald, arrived in Richmond today and arranged to publish the Journal off the press of the Palladium as a morning paper until his plants in Dayton can resume operations. At noon today Mr. Burkham had two thousand papers of this morning's extra edition of the Palladium run off under the head of the Dayton Herald, and these were taken to Dayton in an automobile for distribution. Mr. Burkham will bring a staff of editors, reporters, printers and pressmen to Richmond. In the first issue of the Journal off the Palladium press appears the following editorial : Dayton courage, Dayton Spirit and the fighting qualities of her people will erect upon this calamity a greater and more beautiful city. In this time of sorrow and distress, the whole nation stands behind us. This is the time when we must all look up, not down. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of food and supplies of all kinds are rushing into this city. In a few hours there will be an abundance for everyone. Ninety millions of sympathetic Americans are at our back. Mr. Burkham made the following statement today describing the situation in Dayton and the future outlook for the city : "In the first place let me state that the death list will probably run from 300 to 700. The business section of Dayton was pretty well cleaned out and merchants operating first floor stores will undoubtedly suffer total losses. In the business and central sections of the city the loss of life will be small. This is also true of Dayton View. The property loss there was very heavy notwithstanding the fact that the larger part of it was not touched by the flood waters. The homes of the wealthiest residents in Dayton View were thrown open to refugees from the lower sections of the city and each of these homes sheltered anywhere from forty to fifty people. "There was comparatively small loss of life in every district except North Dayton, which is cut off from the city proper by the Mad and the Little Miami rivers. If there has been a great loss of life, most of the victims will be north side people. The greatest destruction to property was also in that part of the city. "A conservative estimate of the total property loss in Dayton would be $15,000,000. "Hundreds of people now believed dead will later turn up but little the worse for their experiences. "So far as the business section of Dayton is concerned a week's work will place the buildings in a presentable condition. The water is now out of that section and it is completely in the control of the militia and firemen, so there is no danger of five. "The biggest conflagration occurred on Third street between Jefferson and St. Claire. The loss there from fire was more than $1,000,000. All the new concrete bridges stood firm under the crush of the mighty flood current, but the old steel bridge at Fifth street and the steel bridge that all the railroads use in entering the city went under. "Splendid work in rescuing flood victims was done by the residents of the hill top districts, Oakwood and Dayton View, and too much credit cannot be given John Patterson, president of the National Cash Register company for his tireless efforts in directing the rescue work. He and his entire executive staff were instrumental in saving the lives of hundreds of people from flood, famine and exposure. "Mr. Patterson turned his box factory into a boat building

plant and it is said a boat was turned out every 45 minutes. It was also through his efforts that doctors and nurses were brought in from Cincinnati. No person in Dayton did more in the saving of life and caring for the homeless than Mr. Patterson. "I wish to state that the people of Dayton greatly appreciate the splendid work of Richmond people and the people of those towns between Richmond and Dayton in sending supplies to our city. Your people and the people of the other towns I mentioned were the first to get relief into the city via Dayton View and what you sent saved hundreds of lives. "The Dayton Chamber of Commerce has perfected a systematic method for directing the relief work and the spirit of the citizens is remarkable and no doubt on this calamity will be built a greater and better Dayton. "During the high water there were from ten to fifteen babies born in attics, boats, churches and hospitals. The experiences of some of the survivors beggars description. In one house fourteen people lived in an attic for two days without food, water, heat or light and when they were rescued their hands were black and they could not move a muscle. "Two men on top of a house floated down the river and when they saw that they were to be hurled to death against a bridge, bravely waved farewell to the horrified and helpless people on

shore. Boys in canoes, some of them not sixteen years of age, bravely battled with the torrent and rescued many people. Men in every walk of life worked shoulder to shoulder in the work of rescue and one prominent citizen for two days worked in his stocking feet and without coat or hat and finally had to be dragged to a place of shelter. Many people were drowned by the overturning of boats while rescuing unfortunates, others met their death while warning unsuspecting people of the flood that was dashing upon them, but most of the deaths were those who were caught in their houses or on the streets without time to seek places of safety."

j EDITORIAL VIEWS. a- : a

COMMON SENSE NEEDED. (Indianapolis Star) People are responding generously to

the call for clothing for the refugees

and Quantities of articles of all kinds have been contributed, though many more can be used. Not every one who gives uses judgment and discretion, however. Women who handle and distribute the goods report the receipt of many useless things. It might be well

to say to those who are yet -planning to contribute from their stock that

white or gold .igh-heeled slippers, or pumps, or shoes with the "uppers" broken from the soles, or shoes not mates, are not available In this emergency. Nor fancy waists, petticoats in slits, torn midsummer coats trimmed with much lace and embroidery, stockings full of holes, underwear without buttons or other fastenings or in rags. All of these things and more of their kind have been found among the contributions. The spirit of the givers may be assumed to be good, but they should reflect that what they have themselves cast aside as unwearable can not be used to advantage by any one else. What is needed is comfortable, warm clothing in a fit condition to be donned at once. It may be and Is expected to be half worn, but it should be whole. No one at the relief stations has time for repairing garments, even if they are worth mending. Also It must be remembered that the people to whom the clothing is given have for the most part been used to wearing respectable garments and necessarily have some objection to the other sort, even though compelled to accept it temporarily.

POSTPOHE MEETING Odd Fellows Were to Have Met Today.

The encampment branch of the Odd Fellows which was to have been held today in the I. O. O. F. hall was indefinitely postponed owing to the bad transportation facilities on account of the flood. Members were expected from Liberty, Webster. Fountain City. Boston. Centerville and other small towns In the vicinity.

BUSINESS COLLEGE

Neva Irelan has been absent from school this week. We understand that she has been out of the city, and has been unable to return on account of the floods. Abbie Webb who has been employed by the Light Inspection Co. of Hagerstown, has resigned to accept a position with the Starr Piano Co. of this city. Earl Huette and Theo. Slick were in Dayton this week on account of flood conditions. Stewart Smith has been absent from school on account of the death of his sister. Herbert Moore entered school this week. Walter Cronin is doing temporary work for Bertsch and Co., of Cambridge City.

Mrs. V. L. Bone, age fifty-nine, of Chicago, has just married Herbert Mawske, age twenty. Herbert's father la vexed.

THE FIRE MARSHAL. (Indianapolis News.) If Wllllain E. Longley, the new fire marshal, has any particular qualilcations for the position to which he has been appointed the public is yet to learn what they are. The appointment is purely personal and political. Mr. Longley is a member of the Taggart organization, and was In charge of Governor Ralston's pre-convention campaign. It has been said that the Governor's first thought was to appoint Mr. Longley as a member of the state board of tax commissioners, but that It was later felt that the man's relations to those who are close to the traction interests of the state made this inadvisable. So he was chosen as ire marshal. We sincerely hope that he will make such a record as will prove that the Governor's confidence was not misplaced. But the appointment was no, we repeat, made because of any special fitness of Longley, but for political and personal reasons. As a matter of fact, the fire marshal ought to be a man who has at least had some experience In the insurance business. Men thus trained have a knowledge of the subject which uninformed men like the new marshal will have to acquire. Further than this, the Insurance companies pay the marshal's salary, and surely they should have been considered to some extent. Also the companies have an interest in preventing fires. As that is the function of the fire marshal, it would have been a very proper thing to choose him from insurance circles. He would have known his business from the start, and would also have been

subject to no temptation to play politics. Is seems to us that the Governor failed to rise to the level of his opportunity. As to the two deputies, it is to be said that they are men of fine character. Om of them, Mr. Minor, is reported to have had considerable experience In the work of fire prevention. Of course, It would be very foolish to assume that the new department will accomplish nothing under Mr. Longley. He may turn out to be a successful administrator. We certainly hope so.- The point we make Is

that the Governor could have no reason to think that he was specially qualified. The appointment was not made for that reason. It is purely personal and political. Appointments made on that basis in these days are always likely to be a mistake. More and more the people are demanding skill and efficiency. They are seeking expert knowledge in those who are to conduct the public business. Government is branching out Into all sorts of work, and is no longer a mere matter of collecting and disbursing revenue, and giving police protection. Men in public station today must know what they are about. Mistakes are much more disastrous in their results than in the older and simpler days. Governor Ralston apparently does not fully appreciate the great change that has come over the thought of the American people.

t'BEWARE OF BURGLARSOFFICIAL BULLETIN READS

Always Rsady to March. There isn't an army post In the United States whose garrison couldn't make ready inside of an hour to start off for any point," said an army offl.er. "Clockwork? Well, there's nothing mechanical about It A man naturally Is ready when he sleeps and lives with his equipment at all times. There would be no confusion. How could there be when a trooper has his clothes, his gun, his bandolier with Its ninety rounds of ammunition, his web belt with ninety rounds of ammunition and his twenty-four hour emergency ration that he always keeps In his haversack? The tentage Is always lying ready for use, and when the men are going on a short march two men share a small shelter tent, half of which la carried by each man. Yes. sir, right after the bugle sounds, in half an hour, a man can sort out his belongings and be ready to go anywhere." New York Sun.

No Reward For a Tin Mine. For some unknown reason there la a widely prevalent Idea that the United States offers a reward for the discovery of a tin mine that can be worked at a profit Many letters are received

by the geological survey every year

asking about this supposed reward. Where the rumor started la unknown, but It seems to be fostered by un

scrupulous or Ignorant persons who

have mining stock to sell. The sur

vey's officials say that the United States does not offer and so far as

known to them never has offered, a

reward for the discvery of a tin mine

or any other mine.

DAYTON. O., March 29. The relief Committe tonight announced that it was greatly pleased at the generous response to the appeal for aid and ventured the opinion there would be no difficulty In caring for the sufferers unless the volume of supplies received tomorrow and Sunday should be less than those which came today Everything considered the condition tonight in Dayton in so far as the relief work is concerned is hopeful and by tomorrow morning every section of the stricken city will have been covered. Danger of Thieves. "Beware of thieves and burglars, said an official bulletin given wide circulation. "Don't leave your houses without protection. It was thieves who scared you about the reservoir and natural gas explosion. The natural gas has been turned off, and there is no danger of explosions." Sixty Catholic sisters of the academy of the Sisters of Notre Dame and eighteen persons for whom they had provided refuge were found by the Louisville life saving crew today to have been entirely without food or water since Tuesday. There were several cases of illness and their sufferings had betn Intense. The life savers left a supply of bread and water and planned to take further

help.

Wattr Reached Roofs. The Louisville men also took re

lief to several hundred families in the low district in the vicinity of Ludlow

and Franklin streets. Here the water

had reached the roofs of all two;Story buildings. Only a few of the most

desperate cases were brought out, the

first move being to leave bread and water In as many places as possible. Tl.ere had been little hope survivors vwuld be found in this district, and

te fact that there proved to be few aeaths brought hope that the death ioss would be lower than expected. Arter returning for supplies, the lifesavers started for North Dayton.

Algonquin Hotel Accessible. For the first -time in four days the

water is off the street In front of the Algonquin hotel. In the first two days

of the flood water reached the second

story of the hotel. Relief boats brought food and water today to the famished guests of the Algonquin, the

Becker house, the Phillips and the

A Reasonable Favor.

"So yon have determined to sue m

for breach of promise?" "Yes."

"With damages?" "Of course." "Well, say, I've got Just one favor to ask of you. Don't sue me for less than $100,000. I haven't got a dollar In the world that I can call my own, and it might help my credit" Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Atlas hotel.

There was an air of holiday re

joicing in the ruined boulevards today.

People were glad that they were alive. They Joked and cried with Joy by

turns when friends, coming from the

south side of the city, found them.

"Most of us made up our minds that if we had to die we mould rather die

drowning than burning." said Dr. Sat-

unnewo. mho was imprisoned in one

of the buildings. "We prepared to cash in by way of the water. Hundreds were camped on the roofs of

the hotels and skyscrapers, inspired by the mad notion that the water waa reaching toward them even to the top floor of skyscrapers. As the flames, veered toward them they shouted warning across the roofs. Many prayed. At midnight the flames shifted and the downtown section 'was saved." Mother and Daughter. There were brought to the morgue today the bodies of two women taken from a house at 609 Second street. One was the body of an old woman, the other a young one. A note pinned to the bodies indicated calm preparation for death as the water rose over their home and finally engulfed It. "Hawke Mother and daughter, read the note. "Hawke Mother and daughter." were placed aide by side In the National Cash Register company's garage that has been converted Into a morgue. The mother and daughter were found on the second floor of their home, in an embrace. Several hundred men and women fled to the Arcade when the water made Us first rush, they said today. Snaggtd Cases of Food. Former Mayor Burkhardt was one

of those imprisoned In this Arcade. Burkhardt was unanimously elected mayor of the Arcade community of flood refugees and he established a police and sanitary system. The postofflce was turned Into a shelter place for -lghty-nIne men, women and children. Ropea were thrown out and cases of food snagged as they floated by. In the midst of the horror fifteen prisoners In the city workhouse broke out through the roof and, fleeing over the roof of the Antlers hotel, raided the cafe.

Custard. Concerning custard, or "eustad." aa it was formerly called, it was a common joke at civic feasts in England in the olden time to place an enormous custard in the middle of the table, into which at some stage of the proceedings the clown unexpectedly Jumped. Ben Jonson uses the term "custard leap Jack" of one who "in tall of a sheriff's dinner" took "his almain leap into a custard" to "make my lady mayoress and her sisters laugh all their hoods over their shoulders."

Have Been Restored to Health By Lydla E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. There is no doubt about this fact Why I during the last 30 years we have published in the newspapers of this country volumes of letters from women who have been relieved of all their suffering by the timely aid of this grand old medicine. Letters like the following, true, genuine and honest expressions of gratitude coming from grateful hearts. Surely you can believe these women. Mrs. Ij. S. BRENNEB, Hudson, Mich., say: ' Sometime ago I was taken with a terrible pain in my rifrht side, such, sharp pains Just like a knife sticking1 me. I tried hot applications but that did no good. I went to our family doctor (we were living in Fayette, Ohio, at that time) and he aaid it waa organio inflammation. I doctored with him a while but kept getting worse. The pain waa so terrible I could hardly stand on my feet. I would have that sharp pain in my right side, and a dull heavy pain the whole length of my limb. I realized that something; had to be done quickly, so I looked up all of your advertisements I could find, and saw several that described my case. I got a bottle of Lydla & Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and it helped me from tbe first dose, and when I had taken two bottles mv trouble wan gone. Your medicine baa done so much for me that I am willing you should publish this letter for the sake of other suffering women." Mrs. L. 8. Bskhxxb, Hudson, Michigan, Mrs. I E. BOWERS, Girard, Pa-, says: ' I take pleasure in informing you of what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has done for me. I had a sick speU last February, and for some months after that I was not regular and bad many bad feeling. X was tired all the time, had dull headaches, not much appetite, and alee what the doctor called organic inflammation. Your Vegetable Compound has entirely cured me and I feel that too much cannot be said In its praise as I am now able to do my own work. You are perfectly welcome to use my testimonial for the benefit of other." Mrs. I E. Bowsbs, B.F.D. No. 1, Girard, Pa. Mr. ELIZABETH GENTILCORE, Buffalo, X.Yaysj " I feel that I must write to you about your wonderful remedies. About ten years ago I was troubled with female weakness and waa all run down. I was tired all the time and could hardly walk without feeling dizzy. I heard about Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, took it. and also used the Sanative Wash. I got stronger, and have not had thoae diaa spells since. I feel that I owe my health to you, and hope your remedisA will help others as they have me. I tried most everything I heard of, afftfl yours are the best medicines for women'i ailment." Mr. EuzaJBrra Qn ttlcori, 26 Olor Street, Buffalo, Kew York.

For 30 years Lydia E. Plnkham' Vesretable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills. No one sick with woman' ailments does justice to herself if she does not try this famous medicine made from roots and herbs, it has restored so many suffering; women to health. 1 - "aWrite to LYD2A E.PIH1H MEDICI CO.
