More Pay for School Trustees The petition made to council last night on behalf of the Richmond school board, asking for a small increase in the salaries of its members, should be given prompt attention and the necessary relief provided. Great responsibility rests on the members of the school board and each one, especially the treasurer, serves under heavy bond with a compensation so small as to practically amount to nothing $100 a year each. In the past, bonds for these public-spirited school trustees have been provided by other public-spirited citizens, but, as the trustees suggest, it is more desirable that these bonds be given by bonding concerns, to be paid for out of the pockets of the school board members in the absence of a law permitting such payments to be made out of the school funds. With the increase in the personal bond of each trustee this year, through a $35,000 bond issue for a new school, the president and secretary of the board would each have to pay a bonding company $91 for their required $91,000 bond, thi out of their $100 salary. On the other hand the treasurer to meet his $275 payment on his $275,000 bond would have to turn over his entire year's salary and shrink his bank account for the extra $175. For council to refuse to remedy this condition of affairs would be manifestly unfair, and the suggestion that the salaries of the school board president and secretary be increased to $200 a year, and the treasurer's salary be advanced to at least $400, should be complied with without any hesitation. Boost the Fall Festival Next Friday morning the finance committee appointed to aid in promoting a fall festival for Richmond has arranged to make a canvass of the business men to secure subscriptions to the festival fund. If sufficient money is raised to meet the expenses of such an event a festival will be held. If

the committee cannot secure the required amount all efforts to promote a festival will promptly cease. ' The Palladium f eete confident that the wide

awake business men of this city appreciate the benefits of past festivals and will co-operate with the finance committee by liberal contributions. So far no plans for the festival have been made by its promoters for they have adopted the business-like policy of making the arrangements for the event dependent on the expense fund, thus guarding against any deficit, which has marred former festivals. ' There are numerous business interests in the city which are directly benefited by festivals, and they are expected to be the most liberal subscribers to the fund. However, other business interests, which are only indirectly benefited, should not hesitate in making generous donations because it has been conclusively proved that such events help the city as a whole in more ways than one. Remember, Mr. Business Man, the question of whether Richmond is to continue to be an enterprising, progressive city is to be placed directly up to you next Friday. When committeemen call on you, put your name down for the largest sum you can afford to give. Don't waste their time, for they are business men like yourself and are giving their time to the work out of a spirit of public service. The above receipt for a successful fall festival is guaranteed to bring desired results. Try it. Managers for Cities There is a steadily increasing tendency to have the affairs of municipalities administered after the same fashion as private business enterprises are conducted. It is a most unenlightened community which still regards a city government as something created solely to provide professional politicians with jobs. In line with the new attitude of the American people in regard to the administration of civic affairs is a bill pending in the legislature of one of the most progressive of states, Wisconsin. This measure was prepared by Dr. McGregor, of the University of Wisconsin, and if it becomes a law the cities of Wisconsin will be under the control of managers. The plan has been experimented with by a Virginia city and has proved successful, but the Wisconsin plan is more comprehensive and if placed in operation will furnish interesting and profitable comparison with the commission government plan. For the important provisions of the McGregor bill the Palladium is indebted to the Ft. Wayne News. They are as follows:

"2. The city mana'ger shall be elected purely on merit. In electing the city manager th council shall give due regard to training, experience, executive and administrative ability and efficiency, and general qualifications and fitness for performing the duties of the office, and no person shall be eligible to the office of city manager

who Is tw j. by training, experience, ability and efficiency well quatjried and generaUy fit to perform the duties of such office. No weight or consideration shall be given by the council to nationality, political, or religious affiliations, or to any other considerations except merit and direct qualifications for the office. "3. Residence in the city or state shall not be qualification for the office of city manager. "4. At least thirty days before electing or engaging a city manager, the council shall advertise for applicants in two or more daily newspapers of state-wide circulation, in two or more daily newspapers of interstate circulation, and in such other newspapers, magazines, advertising agencies, employment bureaus, and other advertising mediums, and during such length of time as it shall deem necessary to secure applications from the available persons best qualified to fill such office. "5. The applications, records, recommendations, and qualifications of all applicants for the office of city manager shall be Immediately placed and thereafter kept on file, and shall be matters of public record and open to the examination and inspection of the public at all reasonable times. "6. The salary of the city manager shall be fixed by the council, but shall not be less than the sums herein named for cities classified according to population: Amounts graduated from $2,000 to $5,000. "7. The council shall have the power to remove the city manager at any time that his conduct of the city administration becomes unsatisfactory, and to engage a successor after the manner prescribed in this section, but such city manager shall serve until his successor is elected and qualifies. "8. Before the council shall remove a city manager for any cause other than wilful neglect of duty or malfeasance in office, it shall give such city manager at least sixty days notice of its contemplated action, shall present in writing a statement of the specific grounds or reasons for such removal, and shall give such city manager an opportunity to be heard in regard thereto. Such statement of the reasons for removal shall be immediately placed and thereafter kept on file and shall be matter of public .record, open to the examination and inspection of the public at all reasonable times, and such hearings shall be a public hearing. "9. The action of the council in removing a city manager shall be final, and in no case subject to judicial review."

WAR SCARE CURE

IF Japan were to annex the Philippines and thumb its flat nose at these United States, two things would be achieved: We would be rid of the Philippines, and the opponents of an adequate navy would be completely vindicated. But despite these happy results, a yell would go up for the recovery of the islands, and the little-navy persons would take to the woods. A LARGE navy does not appeal to the pacifist (the "fist" being soft and open). It is usually off cruising, it doesn't stand still to be admired, like a grand federal building in Mushville-on-the-Crick; and the bigger the navy, the less need for it. THERE'S the rub. If we had half a dozen more battleships loafing about, the Japanese jingo would be fanning himself lazily under a plum tree, instead of prancing around with a chip on his shoulder; Mr. Bryan would not have made his celebrated trip to Sacramento; nothing would have happened. And the little-navy person would

;ask: "What's the sense in having such a big navy? There's

nothing for it to do." VERILY, man that is born of'woman Is full of prune juice and vapors. He reasoneth backward as the crab crawleth, and he stumbleth through existence as the lightning bug. "with his headlight on behind." B. L. T. In the Chicago Tribune.

TRANSIENTS By Theodosia Garrison

They are ashamed to leave so soon The Inn of Grief who thought to stay Through many a faithful sun and moon, Yet tarry but a day! Shamefaced I watch them pay the score. Then straight with eager footsteps press Where waits beyond its rose-wreathed door The Inn of Happiness. I wish I did not know that here, Here too where they have dreamed to stay So many and many a golden year They lodge but for a day. Harper's Magazine.

There was a large audience at the

Murray theater last evening to wit

ness the production of The Man On The Box" as presented by the Francis Sayles company. It was remarkable the manner in which this play was presented last evening by this company when one considers that the first rehearsal was held last Wednesday at which time it seemed impossible that the company could present this drama in such a creditable manner by Monday. The parts were not indifferently acted as is often the case when a stock company has such little time in which to present a new play. The parts were all well taken and the work of Mr. Sayles

was especially good. He took the part of LieuL Robert Warburton, and when he made his Initial appearance In groom attire he was given quite an ovation. Mr. Sayles is a most excellent actor and is making many friends. The part of Charles Henderson, a chum of the lieutenant, was taken by Sam B. Wilson. Mr. Wilson knows how to get around on the stage and is always perfectly at home in any part to which he is assigned. His breezy manner is quite effective. Miss Olga Worth, leading lady, took the part of Miss Betty Annesley, daughter of Colonel AnneBley, taken by J. J. Flynn. George Tilden as Pierre Chef for the Annesleys, was also clever. Evelyn Kincaid was at her best last evening when she took the part of Nancy Warburton, a friend of Miss Betty's. Cora, the Annesley's maid taken by Meta Eyferth, was also very good. All the minor parts were unusually well taken which makes the play exceptionally good. Nearly everyone knows the story of "The Man On The Box." It Is in three

acts. The stage settings are extremely I

pretty. In the last act the costume worn by Miss Betty was very attractive. Some menUon should be made of the work of Arnold Wolford, who took the

part of Count Karloff, a Russian diplomat. He displayed much histrionic ability and took this difficult part in a most satisfactory manner. A matinee was given this afternoon. "The Man On The Box" will be presented for the remainder of the week at the theater.

Next week "The Wolf will be presented. E. R. T.
