Fight Against Voting Machines Is for Rank and File of All Parties The fight against the introduction of voting machines into Wayne county without a thorough and public investigation, is the fight of every Democrat, Progressive, Republican, Socialist and Prohibitionist in the county who is interested in maintaining the purity of the ballot and economy in the expenditure of public money. Don't forget, these machines, if introduced, will be used in the party primaries. If they can be manipulated, then good-bye to control of the party's nominees by the rank and file of its voters, the people. Manipulation will mean that once more the bosses will slip into control and dictate the nominations of candidates of their own choice. In fact, it is conceivable that a
master manipulator of the voting machines could superintend the nominations for all other parties as well as his own. Manipulating them
again on election day would complete such a boss's biennial public labors. The remainder of the time between elections he would spend living off the fat his manipulative ability had enabled him to accumulate. And think of the election bets a boss could win with his fingers manipulating the mechanism of unreliable voting machines. He'd have a lead pipe cinch!
The Bentztown Bard knows about it and tells in verse what we have been trying to enforce in prose for a long time. His poem begins thus: The way to begin any city you plan Is down in the primitive heart of the man; The man is the city; as he is, it grows, As he will it conquers, as he knows it knows, As he reaps and broadens it blossoms afar To the goal of its purpose, the arc of its star. So, accoring to the muse a true city government is the reflex of a true man. It is not a machine with wheels within wheels to grind schemes, sinecures, grafts and jobs of various kinds to suit favorites. No, it is a manly thing if it is right has manly qualities, has courage to do right.and despises mere selfish purposes. Here is another verse: The way to make sure of right progress is here, To start where the man starts, so moved in a sphere Of right thought and right action the city he sees In his vision shall rise like a monster that frees Its soul from the scum and the venom of things And mounts the blue skies on invincible wings. Nobody but a real man can make a real city. The demagogue cannot, the professional politician cannot, the man who drinks and swears and bloviates around cannot. No, indeed, it takes a fine soul to direct the destiny of a city, and every city of pride, of duty, of honor will see to it that such a soul holds the hem. Ohio Stata Journal.

UNSUNG.
Not Complimentary to Party's Candidates
The following quotation is credited to Attorney William H. Kelley: "I am satisfied of the thorough integrity of the county council memb6rs and the county commissioners. No one in the city probably is better able to judge of this than I am, for I am constantly thrown with them. Unnecessarily criticism of public officials has done nothing more than to lower the standards of our public officers. Men of knowledge and worth can hardly be persuaded to get into a race for office. We cannot get good men to become candidates any more because of the unjust and unnecessary criticism of the newspapers of Richmond. "I am in favor of the voting machines if they are sure they cannot be manipulated in a dishonest manner. If they can be manipulated, I do not believe that they should be purchased as I believe that elections in Wayne county have always been on the square." From this. part of Mr. Kelley's statement, "We can not get good men to become candidates any more," the Palladium surmises that the genial attorney takes exceptions to the city tick
et just nominated by his party.
As sweet as the breath that goes From the lips of the blown rose, As wierd as the elfin lights That glimmer of frosty nights, As wild as the winds that tear The curled red leaf in the air, Is the song I have never sung. In slumber, a hundred times I have said the mystic rhymes. But ere I open my eyes Of the interfluent strains Not even a note remains; I know by my pulses' beat I was something wild and sweet, And my heart is deeply stirred By an unremembered word! I strive, but I strive in vain, To recall the lost refrain. On some miraculous day Perhaps it will come and stay; In some unimagined spring I may find my voice and sing The song I have never sung. Thomas Bailey Aldrich.

A Good Roads Congrels A good roads congress will be held in Detroit the latter part of this month and it is suggested that Richmond and Wayne county be officially represented at this meeting. The citizens of Richmond and Wayne county right now are greatly interested in the question of permanently improved city streets and country highways. At this Detroit meeting the road building experts of the United States will be in attendance and valuable information is to be obtained from them as to the best methods for making the many important . improvements contemplated in this city and county. The amended Three Mile Gravel -Road law becomes effective the first of January and under its provisions permanent improvements of highways can be made. Prompt advantage of this law is to be taken in Wayne county, because its citizens have long since realized that the only economical and serviceable highways are those permanently made with either brick or concrete strips. In Richmond next year the policy of extending the mileage of paved streets is to be continued. All this work, in city and county, should be thoroughly studied before it is undertaken on the large scale the plans contemplated call for, therefore representative citizens, interested in the good roads movement should officially represent the city and county at the Detroit meeting. Their reports would form a basis for the program of improvements to be undertaken the coming year.
Killing of Shade Trees The board of works would greatly piease the citizens of Fairview if they would inquire into the wholesale slaughter of shade trees in that section of the city, fix the responsibility and put a stop to the practice. Fairview people are inclined to the belief that the Richmond Light. Heat & Power company is the offender. Gas mains, they say, none too well laid, have been leaking to an extent which brings about the de
struction of adjacent trees. On several streets
in Fairview, people in that locality complain, from one-third to one-half of the trees on them have died this summer. One of Richmond's greatest assets is the beautiful trees which adorn every section of the
fcity. This asset will soon be lost if a sharp eye j
is not kept on the various public service corp6r ations.

who is plunged into the depths, but has the intelligence to await the time for a vengeance more powerful than one of his own immediate execution. The production is made by Mr. Gilmore's well known genius for details and is such an exact reproduction from life that an audience feels as though it were peering into the living rooms of a geius house.
Mead to Mead Talks
THE WORLD DOES MOVE! "Sooner or Inter," s.tys an vditoria. writer, "erery 'necessary evil' become unnecessary." We hear too much of "necessary evils." If every one who used th phrase, were to do something to abate them tbe world would soon be r:d of aoiue of it worst ills. Ever itie the cave man looked upon the great saber toothed ticer as an ineitable ;urt of his existence, to b avoided if Hib!e but not to be extertuiuated. men have tw-en afraid to tackle their probletus manfully. And the problems live. When they finally go at them men find them not ao hard to nolve as they have feared. If we really xt down to think hard about some of the things wfaic-u afflict modern civilization u h as the pres ence of disease and immorality and set fishuess and the unequal distribution of wealth we should find a way to make these "necessary vila" unnec-es sary. A few centuries ago there were In England about 150 offenses aj;ninst the law punisbftble by death. Now there is one. One hundred years aco the mentally afflicted were treated as criminal.. In stead of jreiUnij medical care which they needed and which thej receive now they were fastened up in strait Jackets and left to sniffer the horrors of hunger and thirst nd darkness Lunacy, you see, wus a necessary evil, to be treated as such, not a something to bo cured. We hae abolished that and we are on the ruad to the prevention of Insanity. One necessary evil going We have been hearing much of the reclamation of girls and women who go wrong. There will come tim when they will no, longer be regarded as a necessary evil when the same spirit which fred the lunatic from the charge of criminality will treat these unfortunates as victims of causes outside of themselves. So will another necessary evil be eliminated. In spite of pessimism the world does advance in righteousness. The pessimist is wrong in looking only at the cloud. The optimist proves his shallowness sometimes by seeing only the silver lining. Better than either is the meliorist, who holds that the world is advancing, flowly perhaps but no less surely. In the ways of right and justice.

HAD SOME CAUSE FOR THE HOWL. Kansas City Journal. It is said that the slit gown was known to the Romans. Possibly it was one of the things that made Rome howl.
DOWN WITH THE TANGO. Stoughton (WMs.) Courier-Hub. The Tango dance at Kegonsa last evening was very poorly attended and what might be termned a failure, and well it might be, considering the style of dance and music, either of which would give a strong nerved person the jim jams. If our friend Lane wishes to make a success of the heretofore pleasant series of dances he will employ a good band, station an officer at the door, and arrest the first couple attempting to insult and intelligent community by such ridiculous antics as seen in a tango dance. It is not allowed in any civilized country on earth. It originated with the heathens of Egypt and was followed by the slums of cities, and now our elite think it proper for them to follow. Shame, shame on society! Cut it out.
CHANCE TO GIVE HIM ACID TEST. Topeka Capital. If John Lind succeeds in hi3 mission in Mexico President Wilson might be prevailed upon to lend him for British use as envoy extraordinary to Mrs. Pankhurst.
WILL PROCEED TO MAKE EUROPE SICK. Charleston News and Curier. "The Sick Man of Europe" seems to be recovering from his recent indisposition and is doing business again at his old stand in Adrianople.
HE DOESN'T EVEN NEED AN OCCASION. New York World. "Vice President Marshall Takes Occasion to Talk of New Haven Wreck." Of what possible subject does he not "take occasion to talk."
FOR WHICH HE CAN BE THANKFUL. Omaha Bee. Seven governors have written to Sulzer, commending him. But they are not the same "seven governors" of 1912 fame.
