Public Comfort Station Needed What Richmond stands in need of is a public comfort station. Like nearly all American cities Richmond has assumed the attitude that the

hundreds of men, women and children who flock

to the business districts would be provided rest

ing places by the business houses they patronize, but throughout Europe it is regarded as the duty

of the municipality to provide for the comfort of

the public.

A comfort station in Richmond would be

especially gratifying to the country people who

trade in this city and whose patronage our mer chants value so highly.

How frequently one sees tired country women trudging from place to place, their arms filled with parcels, depending solely on the hospitality

of the merchants for resting places. mi li i i i it i I.

ine ioi on wnicn tne soutn end market is located is large enough to erect on it a comfort station of ample size, and has the advantage of

being close to the heart of the retail business 1! . J i rrii a

district, ine city government would make a practical and popular move if it provided for

such a building on that site. A Vitalizing Commencement Sermon If Carnegie and Rockefeller in their youth could have heard such a commencement sermon as that delivered yesterday at Earlham by Professor Elbert Russell, pastor of the college, they might have piled up far less money and saved their souls. Professor Russell did not fill the minds of the graduating students of Earlham with the usual tommyrot one so often hears at commencement exercises. He painted for them no rosy future founded on following in the footsteps of our multi-millionaires, so-called successful men. On the contrary he used the multi-millionaire class as an example of the wastefulness and the brutality of the present industrial system. Instead of following the usual course and advising his young hearers to make the best of the system on earth and look for their reward in heaven, he urged them on in the spirit of the great social reformer, Christ, to stand for social justice. Religion becomes dull and tends towards superstition when used to maintain a class in power that depends for its swollen sustenance upon grave human wrongs, on social injustice. The Christ of Rockefeller, with his competition-slain past, or of Carnegie, with the bloody Homestead riots and money wrung unjustly from the masses to pay dividends upon grossly watered securities, is a Christ to be regarded with suspicion by the average man. For the real Christ with a keen insight into the methods of many rich men, likened their chances of getting to heaven to the possibility of a camel passing through the eye of a needle. Professor Russell vitalized Christ for the average man. He showed the spirit of Christ was the spirit of social reform, of insurrection against the gross materialism of the followers after Mammon. The rich man may worship Christ and pay him great reverence. But Christ's spirit is not for him unless he has lived and worked so as to deserve it. With their eyes opened to the truth, with their feet put upon the path that leads through righteousness and good works to the glory of having played square with their fellowmen, Earlham's graduating students may thank God that divine power is moving such men as Professor Russell to give them in their commencement sermons advice which, if followed, will not only give them what eternal reward is humans' lot, but also in contentment of mind and conscience, great earthly reward.

Barking Up Wrong Tree Charles W. Fairbanks, speaking before

gathering of Republicans and a few Progressives at Omaha, urged the Republicans presumably to "forgive and forget." He was arguing for a reconciliation of Republicans and Progressives for the purpose of defeating the Democrats. To drive home his contention that Republicans should be forgiving, he repeated President McKinley's saying, "It will not do to keep books in politics." Mr. Fairbanks displays woeful ignorance of Progressive ideals. When they see the weight of their numbers forcing the Democrats in congress to take up Progressive principles they have no desire to encompass the defeat of the party in power by joining with those devotees of Standpat, the tory Republicans. Progressives will not forget the rank treachery and betrayals of the past nor will they forgive them. Therefore, it is a waste of time and breath for Mr. Fairbanks to seek to entice Progressives from their party. "It will not do to keep books in politics," may be good reasoning for politicians, but it is mighty poor logic for common, everyday people. As long

as the people did not keep tab on their public servants they were sold out, stabbed in the back and treated as mutts generally. Now that the people have opened up a card index system on the men and parties that represent them, they

are getting more done along the line of equal justice.

Mr. Fairbanks travels in vain and his addresses will miss fire altogether if he expects the people to give up their new bookkeeping system on politics and politicians. To Check Reckless Driving The West Richmond Improvement association's demand for an improved system for preventing reckless driving of motor cars and mo

torcycles is not out of place. Its protest should receive the encouragement of all citizens, including the owners of automobiles and motorcycles. This was emphasized Saturday afternoon when an aged woman was almost killed by being run down by a speeding automobile, racing with another car on one of the principal streets of the city. Because this woman received ordinary humane treatment from those who injured her, the relatives of the. victim are not disposed, it is understood, to prosecute the guilty driver of the machine. This is unfortunate. It had been, hoped that a wholesome example would be made of the man. Chief Gormon is not responsible for the immunity enjoyed in Richmond by speed fiends. His department is not prepared to handle the situation. Perhaps, however, the city government will realize some day that Richmond is no longer a village but a good sized city and steadily growing. With this realization it is to be hoped the police department will be placed on an efficient basis by the introduction of modern police methods. An excellent remedy for "joy riding" is a few motorcycle policemen. The Palladium has also pointed out in the past that motorcycle officers are also valuable for answering night emergency calls. If the city treasury can stand the strain, let us see council make an appropriation for at least two motorcycles. It will not be difficult to man them, for the department is below the limit of officers provided by law for a city of Richmond's population. The size of the force can be increased at any time by the police commissioners.

INSECTS INFESTING MANY JBEE FRUITS Serious Results are Produced if No Remedies are Applied. The tree-fruits are infested by a greater variety of insects than any other class of plants. More than 200

species are known to infest either the trees or fruit in some form. Some of them are only of minor importance, but the greater number often produce serious results if no remedies are applied. The Woolly aphis attacks the roots; the borers and bark-beetles attack the trunks; the numerous species of scale and bark-lice attack the branches; the various forms of caterpillars and plant-lice devour the leaves, or such the life out of them while the codling moth, apple maggot, and different species of curculio strive to outdo each other in destroying the fruit. "In applying remedies for all of these, one thing must be borne in mind, that is, the remedy must always be suited to the habits of the insect," Professor Troop of Purdue says. "For example, the sucking species, like plant-lice, must be treated w ith a contact poison, such as kerosene emulsion. In order to prevent the borers and bark beetles from gaining entrance, a repellant, such as soap and carbolic acid, is used on the trunk, while the scales should be treated to the lime-sulphur wash. The caterpillars and most fruit insects may be held in check by a proper use of a stomach poison, such as Paris green or some other compound of arsenic."

THE GREAT VOICE

By Clinton Scollard.

I who have heard solemnities of sound The throbbing pulse of cities, the loud roar Of ocean on sheer ledges of gaunt rock. The chanting of innumerable winds Around white peaks, the plunge of cataracts, The whelm of avalanches, and, by night, The thunder's panic breath have come to know

What is earth's mightiest voice the desert's voice

Silence, that speaks with deafening tones of God. Outlook.

A Wild Throw. Judge M. W. Pinckney at a recent

banquet recalled an incident to show that there is some humor associated with such a serious thing as the law. In Dawson City a colored man, Sam Jones by name, was on trial for felony. The judge asked Sam if he desired the appointment of a lawyer to defend him.

"No, sah," said Sam. "I's gwine to throw myself on

He continued:

" "Father, dear, I need a new Fall riding habit.' " 'Can't afford it,' the banker growled. " 'But, father, what am I to do without a riding habit?' " 'Get the walking habit.' " New York Tribune.

Her Idea. A gentleman who had been in Chicago only

three days, but who had been paying attention to a promi

' If I were to speak to you of marriage, after having

only made your acquaintance three days ago, what would

you say to it?"

"Well, I should say never put off till tomorrow that

which you should have done the day before yesterday." Life.

discussing the tariff?"

WILL USE CONCRETE FOR IMPROVEMENT

New Paris Pike Not to Bei

Constructed of Macadam as Other Roaas.

Couer de Lion Lodge meets Tuesday evening. Nomination of officers and payment of dues. The annual election of officers of Triumph lodge, Knights of Pythias, will be held Friday evening. The meeting will open at 7:30 o'clock. Work in the Rank of Knight will also be exemplified. Visitors welcome.

C P. Frank, of Chicago, has taken up the proposition of making the New Paris pike improvement of concrete rather than macadam, with the county commissioners. Other roads built un

der this law are made of macadam. ! The county surveyor believes this has ; proved unsatisfactory. The cost of concrete will not be greater than mac-;

adam, it is said. The road will be approximately three miles in length, and the estimate of the cost is J40.OOO. The improvement will start at the Gaar road and extend three miles east. The contract has not been let because of the inability of the commissioners to determine whether, according to law, the road may end any place after three miles have been completed or whether it must end at the intersections of a free turnpike.
