The Issue in Tuesday's Election. There is just one issue to be voted on at the :ity election Tuesday. That issue is: Shall the present system of inefficient govsrnment be continued for another period of four years, or shall an efficiency system of governnent be substituted for it; an efficiency system vhich is not of the "red tape" variety, but which vill be of practical use in operating our big municipal corporation more economically, to the ;nd that the 25,000 "stockholders" will receive jome real, substantial returns on their tax investments. We know the bulk of the citizens of Richmond desire the establishment of an efficient :ity government, so the question is, what mayoralty candidate is best qualified to undertake ;his work? There are several reasons why Dr. Zimmerman's ambition to succeed himself as mayor of Richmond will not be fulfilled, but the one which stands out boldly above all its fellows is that the ax, indifferent and inefficient methods of conducting municipal affairs under the present and former Zimmerman administrations has made it imperative that the management, of the :ity be placed in more capable hands. For four terms Dr. Zimmerman has had the Dpportunity of establishing a city government which would meet the needs of the community, out he has failed to make good. Dr. Zimmerman has a winning personality md ia a man of generous impulses, but the time nas come at last when his fitness to fill the very important office of mayor will not be judged by such standards alone. "Can he hold down the job?" is the basis on which the voters of Richmond will now consider his candidacy for a fifth term, and as this is the standard by which they will make their decision, his defeat can be easily forecasted. And in defeat Dr. Zimmerman will have no cause for just complaint. He has received more public favors, more tolerance than falls to the lot of the average citizen. This more than fair treatment he has received from his fellow citizens has been repaid by a most careless, to say the least, administration of public affairs. For a salary of $1,500 a year he has, on the average, devoted one hour per day to his official duties. The remainder of his time he has devoted to private business affairs. He has never appreciated the importance of his high office. He has valued it only for the additional income he has derived from it, and were he mayor of a commission form city his lax attention to his duties would have alone justified his recall by the citizens. To Mayor Zimmerman's failure to devote his time and attention to his duties can be traced directly all the evils which have crept into our government and the popular demand for a re-organization of city affairs on an efficiency basis. He has tolerated loose conditions in the health department; he has countenanced the slipshod and extravagant conduct of the affairs of the street department; he has given no thought to the installation of a modern, effective budget system ; he has permitted, in fact autrized, a policy cheating the municipal light plant of a large proportion of its annual revenue ; with the funds he has wrongfully denied the municipal plant he has made public improvements, paid for entirely by the patrons of the city plant, whose rates have been maintained twenty-five per cent higher than necessary because of the city's failure to pay its public lighting bills; much of this money rightfully belonging to the municipal plant he has permitted his street commissioner to use in making streets with macadam surfaces of only one-half the standard depth, or in making frequent repairs to these streets so improperly built; he has never required the adoption of a system of daily detailed reports in the various departments; he has frequently made himself a target for ridicule by his rulings on the city court bench, and he has assumed a czar-like, dictatorial attitude in presiding over the sessions of the city council. All of these indictments in more detailed form, have been returned against Mayor Zimmerman in articles appearing in the Palladium the past few weeks, but all these charges of leakages in the public funds and inefficient administration of public affairs remain unanswered, even by the mayors sturdy champion, Edgar Uiff. police commissioner and ready letter writer, that is unless Iliff's shouts of "liar" to every presentation of facts, culled from the books and records at the city hall, are to be considered answers to the charges preferred. As a matter of fact the mayor. Mr. Iliff and his other supporters have no intelligent replies at hand to deny the indictments returned against Zimmermanism, so, in self-defense, they have been compelled to resort to the old school political trick of attempting to divert the main issues of the campaign to safer ground. This trick is affectionately referred to by the old line

politicians as "pulling the wool over the voters' eyes." In a desperate effort to check a popular landslide for Will J. Robbins, the Progressive mayoralty candidate Dr. Zimmerman's campaign managers have stooped to the use of political weapons, once so effective, but which now serve only to amuse an enlightened public ; their street workers one week have, with pious faces, spread the report that it was truly pitiful such an excellent fellow as Robbins was a slave to demon rum, and the next week they have gone forth with their tales that he (Robbins) was too radical a temperance advocate to hold the office of mayor. They have even charged before the bar of public opinion that Will J. Robbins was guilty, some forty years ago, of being born in Abington, Ind., which snuggles between the hills of that most picturesque part of Wayne county, from whence so many of Richmond's best citizens have come. And they have brought to the attention of the voters of Richmond positive evidence that at one time Will Robbins picked raspberries to get enough money for his schooling, and they have whispered in our ears that there was no denying the fact that at one time Will Robbins was a school teacher. " But they have ignored Mr. Robbins' record as an honest, clean living, enterprising and public spirited citizen, his record of being one of the most efficient recorders the county ever had, they have ignored these facts as completely as the charges, made in blunt, outspoken English and incorporating statistics taken from city records to substantiate them, that as chief executive of Richmond, Dr. W. W. Zimmerman has not made good. IF HE CAN PROVE THAT HE HAS MADE GOOD THERE REMAINS ONLY UNTIL MONDAY EVENING TO PRODUCE THE EVIDENCE, AND THE COLUMNS OF THE PALLADIUM WILL BE OPEN TO HIM FOR THIS PURPOSE. In the absence of 'such proof that he has really served the city's best interests during his four administrations the voters of Richmond will be perfectly justified in going to the polls next Tuesday and casting their ballots for Will J. Robbins, which will be a vote for a better city government at less expense and an administration which will earnestly and intelligently get on and stay on the job of cutting down the tax rate. No more "one-hour-a-day" mayors for Richmond. "Good government" will be the watchword in Tuesday's battle of ballots.

BLOWS AT FEE SPLITTING.

Damaged Goods. So skeptical were theatrical managers concerning the reception which would be accorded the great sociological drama, "Damaged Goods," that when Richard Bennett arranged for Its production in New York city three owners of theatres refused to allow the play to be presented in their houses when they learned the nature of its subject matter. They overlooked the fact that the play was not vicious, but on the contrary taught a tremendous moral lesson. William Harris, owner of the Fulton theatre, finally came to Mr. Bennett's aid and offered the Fulton, not only for the public performance, but for all rehearsals.

The Indiana physicians now fighting fee splitting may take a leaf from Wisconsin's record. That progressive state has been the first to take a whack at the vicious practice by enacting a law against it. Not only does she suppress the practice among her own physicians as the following section will show, but also prohibits physicians from outside states from dividing with her own doctors. The main section of the act reads: "Any physician or surgeon who shall claim or demand and collect and receive any money or other thing of value as compensation for his professoinal services in treat

ing or operating upon a patient who was induced or ad-1

vised by another physician or surgeon to submit to such tieatment or operation, and who shall have previously paid or delivered, or shall thereafter pay or deliver, any money or other consideration to such other physician or surgeon or his agent, as compensation for such inducement or advice, or as compensation for assistance in the case, shall be guilty of a criminal fraud and upon a conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine of not more than one hundred dollars or by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding six months. Such conviction shall operate also as an annulment of the license held by the convicted person to practice as such physician or surgeon." , This dangerous usage received a still more dangerous jolt at the hands of the newly formed Amercian College of Surgeons, a magnificent organization which will enroll the country's most reliable surgeons and .shield the legitimate specialists in the same way the French Academy protects its literati. In reporting the conference on the subject the committee on credentials writes, "The president declared that no one should be admitted who was suspected of being guilty of this pernicious practice. This declaration was received with universal and most enthusiastic applause." It was decided to exact from every applicant for membership the following pledge: "I hereby promise upon my honor as a gentleman that I will not. so long as I am a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, practice division of fees in any form; neither will I collect fees for others referring patients to me: nor will I permit them to collect my fees for me; nor will I make joint fees with physicians or surgeons referring patients to me for operation or consultation;

neither will 1 in any way. directly or indirectly, compen- I

sate any one referring patients to me; nor will I utilize any man as an assistant as a subterfuge for this purpose."

Bought and Paid For. At the Gennett tonight William A. Brady's production of "Bought and Paid For," by George Broadhurst, will be given here. No telling of the plot can give you anything more than a faint idea of the wonderful character drawings of the play. There are four very important roles, each representing a different and distinct type, and each is a faithful composite portrait of a modern class with whom most of you are familiar. In fact, so cleverly are the characteristics shown in so realistic is the language placed in the mouths of the principals, that one cannot help but liken these people of footlight land to certain ones whom you are accustomed to meet in your daily walks.

The Barrier. "The Barrier," Rex Beach's romantic play, will be presented at the Murray tonight by the Francis Sayles players for the last time. This play has been pleasing large audiences all week and no doubt the house will be packed again tonight.

Murrette. Five feature reels, full of sensational and gripping scenes, with plenty of comedy interspersed, makes up the program for the Murrette theatre today. "The Hidden Message" is said to be one of the most wonderful pictures tv?r attempted, many of the scenes having been taken in airships,
