Batered at the Post Office at Richmond. Indiana, as S ond Class Mail Matter. Boost Earlham. Two years ago the General Education Board of New York which has in charge the Rockefeller fund for college endowment offered to give Earlham College $75,000 in case the directors raised $325,000 inside two years. This offer was accepted by the authorities of the local institution and a committee was appointed at once to undertake the task. The effort was progressing nicely until the March floods upset the program and demoralized everything for a few months. Since then the committee has been less successful. There remains yet but one more day in which to raise the major portion of, the amount, and that means, of course, that it cannot be raised. But the committee feels confident that the Educational Board will offer to pro rate whatever amount is raised. The same privilege has been granted other colleges under peculiar conditions and it is reasonable to expect that the Board will consider the interruption caused by the flood as sufficient reason for making an exception in favor of Earlham. Acting on this confident expectation the members of the committee are now straining every effort to get pledged every possible dollar before the year 1914 appears upon the scene. Since each $1,000 now given will, when the Board's pro rata amount is added, be increased to $1,230 an added impetus is. given to the work. And an added reason is given to all friends who contemplate subscribing later on to subscribe now, because a dollar given at this juncture will carry with it a premium which cannot be had after the time is up. Surely every person who is able to give any amount whatever to this splendid organization will respond to this opportunity. Failure will mean as great a loss to this community and its environs as to the college itself because Earlham is so 'peculiarly a part of the city's own life. The better the college the better is Richmond. One improves the other. As it grows Richmond's culture and education, manhood and womanhood, character and professional skill will also grow, and these things are worth more to any city than bales and boxes of merchandise. But even on a dollar basis it will repay the city to rally to the support of this exceedingly important project. Each year 200 local young people enter the school. If they went elsewhere it would cost them $400 per year but by remaining at home their average expense is about $100

per year. That means a saving to the community of $6,000 each year. More than this, there enter the college 300 outside pupils every fall. They spend $400 here which means an income to the merchants of the city of $120,000 per annum. Each pupil who completes a four year course must spend $1,600 before graduation. But this is a base way of estimating the value of Earlham to the town; its real assets are invisible and not to be weighed in Shylock's balances. Such an institution sheds warmth and light over the city like an invisible sun and makes life more livable to us all. Merely to have the eager young students in our midst and to contract something of their idealism and enthusiasm is itself a constant benediction. And the rro-

fessors, too; how could we get along without them! The president of one of the more prominent state universities said recently: "Earlham has the best faculty of any college in Indiana V During the past year or so no less than six of them have been offered attractive positions in other schools at a substantial increase in salary. But, as badly as the average college teacher feels the need of the coin of the realm, they have one and all refused and stayed with Earlham. Will not the citizens of Richmond exhibit as true a loyalty to this institution as these men? Like every college it cannot pay its own way. Each year it spends over and above receipts from pupils $21,000. This means that it must be endowed. And the present campaign means that it

mast receive an added endowment if it is to hold its own in competition with other schools and be

able to make the improvements and enlargements made necessary by its own growth.

A Great Exposition.

As the Panama Canal is the world's supreme engineering feat the managers of the PanamaPacific Exposition are determined that the celebration of the big ditch shall be equally supreme. If present plans are carried out, and there is no yeason to suppose they will not, the exposition will be fully adequate to its purpose. As one contemplates the exposition as described in the prospectus issued by its managers the imagination almost staggers under the weight of the vast display. Buildings and preparation of grounds will cost over fifty million

dollars. John Barret estimates that exhibits will cost also fully that much. The grounds will lie along the water front in San Francisco stretching two miles one way and a half mile the other and will include 625 acres. In shape it will suggest an ampitheater opening out toward the bay with the Golden Gate in the distance. In the center of this wide basin will be erected the central group of buildings comprising fourteen exhibition palaces. These will be surrounded by a wall and connected somewhat in the fashion of an Italian court. Towering above this group and covered with inset jewels designed to shine in the sun by day and in the focus of searchlights by night the Administration Building will reach up into a dome 400 feet above the plaza beneath. To the left of this central group at an appropriate distance the concession buildings will be arranged and will cover all told, 65 acres. The plans are to bring together here the best things ever developed in amusements and popular exhibits. In the midst of the central group - will be a Court of Honor, 750 feet in width and 900 feet long. Surrounding this will be a classic colonade, crowned on one side by figures representing the Spirit of the West and on the other the Spirit of the East. Altogether there will be 110 of these pieces of statuary. From this court a commemorative arch, larger than the Arch de Triomphe of Paris, will open into the smaller Court of Four Seasons while a similar arch on the opposite side will conduct into the Court of Joyousness. One of these arches will be surmounted by a statuary group representing the Spirit of the East, while the opposite will symbolize the Spirit of the West. In the center of the main court a garden will be sunk large enough to accommodate 7,000 persons and will be artistically ornamented with figures of. fawn3, satyrs and nymphs. The leading artists, sculptors, landscape gardeners and architects of the world have been at work in preparation for this greatest of expositions. The west coast and the federal government have not hesitated to pour a stream of money into the enterprise. The whole continent conspires to make the huge undertaking a success. Why can't our enterprising local banks open up an Exposition fund somewhat after the fashion of their Xmas fund which has proved so popular and so practicable?

As It Happened in Louisville. A prominent business man of Louisville, Kentucky, stopped over on his way through a few days since and unburdened himself about the recent municipal election in that town. If what he told us is true (and we have no reason to doubt his word) an honest citizen from any town would have cause to feel considerably burdened. He explained that registration in Louisville is conducted by means of registration slips. When a voter is registered a clerk writes his name in a book and then fills out a certificate entitling the man to vote at the next succeeding election. This certificate is carried in one's pocket and is often, consequently, lost. In that event one finds it very difficult to cast a ballot. And since the slip is carried loose it is not difficult to loan it to one's friends. No signature has been made with which to compare the voter's writing hence the clerks have no way of knowing that a fraudulent voter has presented a certificate belonging to another man. One political ward-heeler expressed himself as very much put out about the new administration and exclaimed in an injured tone to his barroom cronies: "Now what do you think of that! I was told I would sure have a job when the new ticket went in. And now the crooks have turned me down cold! Catch me ever supporting them grafters again! Why I voted fifty-seven times for the mayor, myself!" One is pained to hear how such an exess of patriotism in this enlightened day should go without reward. Louisville is controlled by a Democratic machine which operates in some such a manner as the Cox-Herrman-Hynicka bunch in Cincinnati. This secret organization of grafters presents itself to the public under the guise of whatever party seems to be in the ascendant and always comes out on top on the principle of "Heads I win and tails you lose." The people are sick and tired of them and made a determined effort to oust them at the last election. Under the leadership of the Progressive party they nominated a list of first class men and made a strenuous campaign. The results may best be described in the language of our informant, who said: "The Bull Moose party won out by more than 1200 votes but when the election board got through with the returns the Democratic" machine had a plurality of over 5000. In three colored wards, which are solidly Republican and always have been, the Democratic machine reported a majority of 200. To my certain knowledge the polls in one of these wards were not opened at all until after dinner." These are painful facts but a disinterested citizen may find some consolation in the reflection that such things are not long for this world. The tide of municipal reform which increases with ever augmented volume to sweep the land

from coast to coast will carry these bi-partizan grafting outfits far out into limbo and lay them carefully in the bottom of Davy Jones' locker. We have no doubt it will even be able to clean up Louisville, which reveals how great is our confidence in it.

Because of the criticism of certain methods of charity in our city, the ministerial association and myself in particular have been misrepresented. I wish to correct that misrepresentation. First. I did not say that the municipal Christmas tree was a political scheme. Somebody else said something like that and then somebody reported that I had said it. Second. I made a partial report on the Rescue Workers vs. the Salvation Army, two bodies doing the same kind of work in our city, which I believe lb be a useless and harmful duplication of the charity side of their work. I spoke of other instances of careless duplication of charity and one pastor spoke of his people leaving a basket of Christmas things at a home last Christmas where there were a number of other baskets already. I was creditably informed that a fraternal order had done a similar thing last year. It was such thoughtless and harmful duplication of gifts that I criticised. For the careful generosity -which provided Christmas baskets for so many homes this year I not only have no criticism but I do have the sincerest commendations. This is also the true attitude of the Ministerial association. S. R. Lyons.
