FOULKE COMPARES CITY WITH ATHENS

Declares Commercial Club Is Doing Much For City's Welfare. ART HAS DEVELOPED Says Richmond Should Continue As "City of Homes." BY WILLIAM DUDLEY FOULKE. The Richmond Commercial club was organized to promote the welfare of the city and while business interests led in the formation of the club, our commercial prosperity is not its only nor its moat important feature. We are constantly considering those larger measures, philanthropic and even political, (in the, non-partisan and best sense of the word) for promoting the common good, many of which are not at all connected with 'pecuniary profit. Thus the preservation and extension of our shade trees, of which we are justly proud, the creation of a hospital for the treatment of tuberculosis, other problems connected with the health of our citizens, the promotion of a new lake and park project, better provision for criminals and for those awaiting trial than is furnished by our Jail and calaboose, the desirability of voting machines, the commission form of government, the patronage of a musical festival of high order, are only a few among many such questions considered at our meetings. These things indicate that the club is occupied very largely, perhaps generally, with questions of public well being which rise beyond the region of mere money getting and they show that although we may desire to have a rich and prosperous community yet we have also higher ideals of what a city ought to be. Good Place to Live in. We realize that Richmond is today in many respects a far better place to Jive in than many a richer city. We have not, for instance, the resources and population of Pittsburg, but we have also not the sordid conditions, the wretched housing and cruel treatment of the very poor which was revealed not many years ago by the Pittsburg survey, conditions such as Ptill exist in many of the large cities of America. What then are our Ideals for our city? First, we want Richmond to continue to be emphatically and increasingly what it has been in the past, a city of homes modest dwellings most of them -well kept, with trim and shady dooryards and comfortable rooms and owned, as far as may be. by the workmen or the business men who dwell in them. Second, we want our city to be beautiful. We have one fine public park and we are opening another by private enterprise. We have our lake and our drives and we are planning for boulevards and a further extension of our park system. Our public buildings are creditable, our schools, particularly the newest ones, are excellent models of architecture, and so are many of our private residences. The country around us abounds in natural beauties and we are resolved that the city, and its surroundings shall grow in attractiveness. Art Development Center. Third, we desire that our city shall be a center of art development. If 1 were asked now for the thing by which Richmond is best known to the outside world, both in remote parts of our own country and even outside its borders, I would say that it was not fo much for our widely known manufactures, our agricultural implements or pianos or even our roses and chrysanthemums, though all these are known in many remote part! of the world but it is the fact that Richmond led in the movement to develop the artistic sense in the smaller communities of our country, and to bring the best paintings gratuitously to the knowledge of the people by frequent periodical exhibitions and finally to collect a permanent gallery and exhiblt it with these periodical collec- " tlons in rooms devoted to the purpose in our high school, and largely for the use of the pupils in all our schools, thus making instruction in art and familiarity with art a part of our common school education. That is the one thing for which Richmond is preeminent. I hear of it where I go in other parts of the world and where I do not hear of it I try to spread the information myself. This has been done without any great drain upon our resources by the energy and good taste of comparatively few who have been interested in the movement. The wonderful development of musical instruction under Professor Earliart reached a point from which still greater growth may be expected which will place Richmond in a front rank among cities of its size, in this department. City's Literary Product. Fourth. I think we would all like to see our city take a leading place in literature. If we would estimate the rank of various cities in the past we find they depend very largely upon their literary product. Athens and Florence are chiefly illustrious today on account of the great works which were produced within their borders and Stratford upon Avon in England and Weimar in Germany, both comparatively small places, will remain immortal because Shakespeare and Goethe have crowned them with immortality. It may well be that in the future the capital of our own state will be better known as the place where Riley wrote b.is poems than on account of anything connected with its natural progress or prosperity. To any who will examine the record, the output of Richmond in literature has not been inconsiderable. Iet us hope that that which has distinguished its past may be small in comparison with that which shall adorn its future. Fifth, we want our city to be beneficient, animated by the spirit of USE ALLEN'S FOOT-EASE, The antiaptic pofrder to b shiken into the choe.

North County Farmers Organize Study Clubs

Farmers' clubs which promise to be ! of the most progressive in the county! from the spirit shown at the organ-! ization, were started at Economy and Hagerstown this week. The occasion , of the bringing together of the farm- j ers was the agricultural day at the f East End school at Hagerstown Mon- i day, and the Fall Festival at the Econ-, omy school Wednesday. j Lee J. Reynolds, principal o thej East End sc hool of Jefferson township, was elected president of the Hagers-'. town organization. He has not name d i any committees as yet. John Bunnell j was elected secretary. j The Farmers who attended the Econ-' omy Fall Festival at the school of Eu-j gene Butler, took at once to the club j idea when it was suggested by County j Agricultural Agent Cobb. They at i once elected John Mann:ns president! and Russell Shoemaker secretary. The later is a high school boy, but is a I successful agriculturalist. j Names Committee. President Manning named as a com- j mittee to frame a constitution and ar-j range for a sound organization, Thos. ! S. Cain, Whittier Beard and Charles j Hunnicutt.

There were almost one hundred ex-i hibits at the Fall Festival of the Econ-later.

justice and fair play and by a disposi- j tion to heli those who have not an ! equal chance in the struggle of life, j rather than by the spirit of avarice 1 and selfishness. j A year or two ago in Frankfurt. Oer- j many, I was talking with a cab driver ; about the government and institu tions of that city. He spoke of them I with the highest praise and ended with the statement that it was a very good city for "die geringe Ieute" the small people, the class to which he himself belonged. That was a high encomium. Let it be true of us. Want Historic City. Sixth, we want our city to become historic. Beauty, art, literature and public beneficience will do much to make it so, but besides this we want its blessed memories to be treasured and perpetuated. There are not many j cities in our state today that have more history. Vincennos perhaps and Corydon, can antedate us, but it was here that the national road first enter- j ed the state and the first incidents of pioneer life occurred which attend-1 ed the opening of that great highway. We might well celebrate that incident next year by some pageant to perpetuate its memory. But most of all should we honor the great men which we can claim as our own. It is scarcely more than a mile from our western limits and it will be within the limits of the future Richmond, that the vanished town of Salisbury stood where Oliver P. Morton was born. The place ought to be honored by a monument with an appropriate inscription. When you pass through the streets of the Italian cities you see memorial tablets. "Here Dante lived"; "Here Talso wrote his Jerusalem Delivered"; "Here Garibaldi fought"; "Here Arosto was born." We have a tablet to our soldiers in the court house. We should have more. We ought to have one to designate the place close to the St. Mary's church, on Seventh street, where the Quaker Mendenhall demanded of Henry Clay that he should free his slaves and where Clay's crushing rejoiner may well have cost him the presidency at the next election and changed the destines of our country. We ought to mark the place where John Findlay wrote his "Hoosier's Nest," where Morton made his great speech on reconstruction. Indeed we ought to honor Morton in other ways. The plaster cast in the court house will crumble. Wre should have a bust of bronze in the New Morton park with an appropriate Inscription. Let us do such things that coming times may hold our city in blessed memory. In conclusion let us so act that our children may speak of our city in some such words as Pericles spoke of Athens, in that great oration which set forth the character of the city that he loved. Lovers of the Beautiful. 'Tn the political language of the day," he said, "we are called a democracy, for the administration is in the hands of the many and not of the few. But while the law secures equal justice to all alike the claim of excellence is also recognized; and when a citizen Is In any way distinguished, he is preferred to the public service, not as a matter of privilege, but as the reward of merit. Neither is poverty a bar, but a man may serve his country what ever be the obscurity of his condition We are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our' tastes and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness. Wealth we employ, not for talk and ostentation, but when there is a real use for it. To avow poverty with us is no disgrace; the true disgrace is in doing nothing to avoid it. An Athenian citizen does not neglect the state because he takes care of his own household; and even those of us who are engaged in business have a very fair idea of politics. We regard a man who takes no interest in public affairs, not as a harmless, but as a useless character; and if few of us are originators, we are all sound judges of policy. The great impediment to action is, in our opinion, not discussion, but the want of that knowl

omy school. There were judged by the high school agricultural class in order to give the boy and the girl members practical experience. Small premiums were awarded. Following the exhibit the farmers secured an auctioneer and sold the exhibits to pay the premium money. Ears of corn brought from 4 to 7 cents. In the morning hogs and dairy cow judging and scoring exhibitions were given. Agricultural Agent Cobb spoke on the improvement of the dairy cow in the afternoon and emphasized the fact that farmers "break even" on cows, one-third paying the farmer a profit, and one-third causing a loss to the farmer each year, and one-third paying for their keep. The meeting of farmers of Jefferson township at the East End school was well attended and the results very satisfactory. Bert Souders, a stock raiser, gave judging exhibits on two types of draft horses which he raises. Agent Cobb gave an exhibtion of ho? testing. John Bunnell, a poultry farm-

er, gave There an interesting talk. were many women at the and Mrs. A. D. Cobb addressmeeting, ed them. An organization of the worn en of the township will be effected edge which is gained by discussion preparatory to action." .... Athens indeed, was well worthy of his eulogy. In all the generations and centuries since that day. she has been to all mankind "a city set upon a hill" whose light could not be dimmed by time nor hidden by forgetfulness. Let her example shine on us today. What makes a city great? Huge piles of i-tone Heaped heavenward? Vast multitudes who dwell Within wide-circling walls? Palace and throne. And riches past the court of man to tell. And wide domain? Nay, these the empty husk! True honor dwells where shining deeds are done, Where great men rise whose names athwart the dusk Of misty centuries gleam like the sun ! In Athens, Sparta, Florence, 'twas the soul That was the city's bright immortal part The splendor Of the spirit was their goal. Their pewel the unconquerable heart! So may the city that we love be great, Till every stone shall be articulate. Had Taken His Weight in Medicine. M. D.
