Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, aa Second Class Mall Matter.

The Building Code The action of council Monday night in creating a building code for the city is to be commended. There may be a few features of the code which will have to be readjusted later, but taken as a whole the ordinance appears to be satisfactory and its necessity has been long appreciated. There had been some criticism that the code would work a hardship on working men who desired to build homes of their own, because it would require better constructed, consequently a little more expensive, dwellings, but this increase in building cost will be far from prohibitive for any citizen who desires to build a home, and by virtue of the better materials which will

enter into the construction of houses a greater

market value will be attached to all buildings constructed under the code. The anticipated reduction in fire insurance rates on all such buildings will also be a considerable item.

For renters the code will be a real benefit for

it prohibits the construction of any houses which

do not meet with the approval of the building inspector, thus a fair return for the rental required

will be assured, which, unfortunately, is not the

case in a number of buildings constructed in re

cent years. The greatest consideration was given in draft

ing the code, it was studied long and carefully by council, and it met with unqualified approval of a New York expert, so there is no reason to doubt that the new ordinance, which becomes effective

the first of next year, will not be of public bene

fit. At least it is deserving of a thorough trial.

now happily drawing to a close, one appreciates what need there is for such an institution in this countryWhat an excellent thing it would be if a college for voters could be established and compulsory attendance provided. Too many Americans are ignorant of the responsibilities that go with their citizenship.

EARLY MORNING

Except for me, the household lies abed; The dawn has scarcely yet begun to gleam. Still lies the weary world in happy dream. Prom kitchen windows only, light is shed. Here lies my book, inviting to be read The while the kettle starts to hiss and steam First in short puffs, then in a steady stream. The table's set, with honey, milk and bread. Now while the porridge cooks, in quiet peace I read of Rome, of Caesar great and bold; Or else perhaps heroes of another Greece Live once again in stories Homer's told. Sweet is this peaceful time, which smooths the way For strenuous hours throughout a busy day. H. C. C.

TAKING STOCK IN THE CITY

Another Example Wayne county people once more have cause to realize the obsoleteness of the road laws of Indiana. Recently the county commissioners have been criticised for their apparent neglect in repairing roads which were badly damaged by the floods two months ago, but there is no justification in such criticism. The- state of Indiana, not the Wayne county board, is at fault. The law regulating the maintenance of roads provides that laborers shall be paid not more than 15 cents per hour and that men with teams shall receive not more than thirty cents an hour. This law was, passed when a plentiful number of men and teams could be secured for such pay, but today laborers and teams are scarce and command better rates. Consequently the commissioners hands are tied.

Kansas City Times.

Many cities with bond issues on their hands have been strongly impressed with the growth of the sentiment that it is a good thing for a municipality to have its securities distributed among its own people. Within the last two weeks department stores in St. Paul and New York City have been offering bonds for sale over their counters as other merchandise. Minneapolis is about to adopt the

same scheme. Philadelphia has sold millions of its securi ties direct to the people.

In St. Paul, within five hours divided between two days, a merchant sold $123,000 worth of improvement bonds in values of $100 and $500. James J. Hill was so pleased at the exhibition of public confidence that he bought $100,000 worth of playground bonds and will sell

them in small lots. The New York department store which imitated the St. Paul scheme easily sold $100,000 worth of city bonds bearing 4V2 per cent interest. Now Baltimore is attracted by the success of the plan. The Sun has arranged for a small part of the city stock to be placed on sale June 5 in lots as small as $100. It also is inviting the merchants to take hold and place the stock on sale. "From a civic standpoint," says the Sun, "there can be no doubt that it is a very desirable thing. Any man who "owns a share of city stock will feel toward the city just

as he would toward any other corporation in which he held stock. He will be more interested in the economical conduct of the city's business and he will resent incompetency and extravagance and dishonesty more than he otherwise would. "From the investors' standpoint it would seem to be equally desirable. Such stock at prevailing prices will yield a greater return than savings bank deposits. It is as absolutely safe as any investment can be, and it can be readily disposed of in case of need."

A SUNDAY SCHOOL CONGRESS OPENED

Many Cities Are Represented At National Baptist Convention At Muskogee. (National News Association) MUSKOGEE, Okla., June 4. White duck caps, congress pennants, with those of organized Sunday school classes, bodges, buttons and flying banners marked the opening of the eighth annual session of the Sunday school congress of the National Baptist convention today. Delegates took advantage of the special rates granted by the railroad companies and came from every section of the United States. There were special parties, special coaches and in several instances special Sunday school congress trains. Notable among those to arrive in Muskogee was the train bearing the officials of the Sunday school congress with the Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, Virginia, New York, Florida and Mississippi delegations. It was

known as the "Official Sunday School j

Congress Train." The cars were decorated with long streamers bearing the words, "Sunday School Congress, Muskogee, June 4-9." The train was met by a reception committee representing the Baptist Ministers' confer

ence, consisting of all of the leading !

pastors of the city. Arrayed in Congress caps, a chorus consisting of two hundred and fiftytwo voices which says, "Hail the Baptist Congress," as the train pulled in. The officials were greeted with cheers as they alighted from the train, the Metoka and Baleda yell was given by these organized classes, and then a line of march was formed, which led from the railroad station to the magnificent auditorium where the Irst session was called to order. The march songs were, "Onward, Metokas and Galedas," and "Christian Soldiers Marching. The first subjects under discussion were "Interdenominational Sunday School, Organization, National and International; Their Theoretical

and Practical Value." There were a half dozen well prepared papers that were read before the body, taking up

this in detail. The next subject was

"Why Should the Pastor and Church Urge the Organization of TeacherTraining Classes?"

The officers have labored to make

the congress the most brilliant Sun

day school gathering in the history of the denomination.

It is not known just how many

cities are clamoring for the next ses

sion, but it was learned from Secretary Henry A. Boyd, that invitations have been received from St. Louis, Mo., Atlanta, Ga., New York city, N. Y., Atlantic City, N. J., and Memphis, Tenn.

Wilson Holding the Trumps? One might be led to believe from the testimony of a number of senators before the lobby investigating committee that the lobbyist was an extinct species of the human race if one did not recall the flock of those vultures which hovered about the state house at Indianapolis last winter. There appears to be no doubt that the senate is framing up a deal to put it up to President Wilson to prove his charges concerning a tariff lobby, but the chief executive does not appear to be worried in the slightest degree and his actions have hinted that he holds a handful of trumps

which may prove embarrassing to a number of members of the upper house when he is called upon to lay them down. President Wilson is a cautious man, an inheritance from his Scotch ancestry, and makes no move unless sure of his footing, so when he declared there was a "numerous, industrious and insidious" tariff lobby in Washington it can be taken for granted that he knew what he was talking about. Honoring a Poet "Knee deep in June" was "Jim" Riley buried yesterday by his former fellow townsmen at Anderson. The flowers that fell in a great deluge into the automobile occupied by the venerable poet struck his smiling face with their soft caress and knocked off his "specs." Early summer flowers of old Indiana they were and tossed in joyful tribute by loving hands. A prophet may be without honor in his own land, but how we Hoosiers love this man who has sung so sweetly the folk-songs of our native state. "It has been one of God's wonderful days," murmured the poet on his return, as he glanced back for a parting view of the city of his early triumphs; as happy as any one of the old days when he and his brother "Graphics" decorated barns and fences with rainbow colored advertisements, or when he wrote "personals," copiously sprinkled with bits of verse, for the old Anderson Democrat. A New Institution The mayors of Philadelphia and Atlantic City have just completed a short course in the recently established school of municipal government and economics, at Wisconsin university.

Suffered Intensely, Reslnol Brought Instant Relief. The same soothing, healing, antiseptic medication that makes Resinol so remarkably successful for skin troubles, affords immediate relief in the most distressing cases of itching, painful and bleeding piles. Miss Marie Russell, 1254 N. Oay St., Baltimore, writes: April 24, 1913. "I had a most severe case of piles. I suffered day and night. I could not sleep or even lie down, and everyone told me the only relief for me would be an operation, and that I dreaded. I was almost wild with pain. I read of Resinol Soap and Reslnol Ointment and sent for samples. The first application gave me Instant

relief. After using only two jars of

Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap, I can truthfully say that Resinol completely cured me. "I hope all other poor sufferers will

read of Resinol as I know it will help them as it did me, for I can never say enough in praise of it for It does more than is even claimed for it."

(Signed) Mazie Russell. Better proof, even than such a letter, is to try Resinol yourself and see how quickly the trouble disappears.
