The New City Administration Mayor Robbins and his appointees take office today and assume the responsibilities of managing the affairs of this city. The Palladium wishes for them a successful administration. It hopes they will be able to make good in every way. When Mr. Robbins announced his appointments the Palladium disapproved of three or four of them on the grounds that they were not made in accord with pre-election pledges. Having supported Mr. Robbins because he had made the run on a non-partisan and efficiency platform it was constrained to protest when he failed to carry out that platform. It has not changed its opinion since.' But the new administration now belongs to the city. The responsibility rests on the shoulders of its members. The men who take office will swear themselves to perform the duties of their office with the full understanding that in assuming responsibility they are also entitled to every opportunity to make good. It is the duty of every citizen, whatever his politics, to see that no unnecessary obstacles are thrown across their path. He would be an ungracious person indeed to embarrass the officials merely for personal or spiteful reasons. Now that they are in office the whole community should lend them its support. And it should also continue to have the same interest in local affairs that it manifested during t lie campaign. As it is the duty of every citizen to boost his own representatives while they are doing their best, it is equally his duty to call a halt when they fail. And as it is the duty of a private citizen, so is it, we conceive, the duty of a newspaper. The Palladium is going to give the new officials every support it can in performing the functions of 1heir office. It will also hold itself free to criticise any false move made. But we trust there will be no occasion for such criticism.

tidy sum of $100.39, while oats came off with the booby prize at only $11.44 per acre. Wheat averaged $12.14; rye showed up with $12.84; corn with $15.96; sweet potatoes with $68.60; (Who has a sweet potatoe patch to rent?) Irish potatoes with $62.10; (the bureau of crop statistics calls these "white" potatoes! The idea!) sugar beets with $59.64, and all crops with an average value per acre of $16.50. Thus, if you are one of those bucolic aristocrats who President Wilson is hugging up to, you will receive an average return from fifty acres in crops of the bioated sum of $825.00. Of this you must pay for the team's upkeep, for seed, for your own labor, your hired labor, your loss and shrinkage, your interest on the investment and run the risks besides. No wonder the dean of a big agricultural school declared the farmers would go bankrupt if they were obliged to depend on their major crops for support. No, no, that's not where the country gentleman gets all that money which he spends on riotous living and Fords! We have a hunch his real gold mine lies in the bottom of the churn, or in the berry box, or, most of all, under the wings of that billion-dollar hen. Biddy and Brindle always can be counted on to bring home the bacon.

THINGS NOT TO BE QUIET IN RICHMOND (Continued from Page One)

The Triumph of Biddy and Brindle The federal departments compute that the

crop yields for 1913 was lower than for any year in the decade, with the single exception of 1911. All told, including live stock, the farmers of the country created nine billions of wealth. Of this, almost five billions was in crops. The secretary of agriculture explains this shortage by saying that early droughts followed by excessive heat cut down the yield. Te also points out that 1912 brought a bumper yield, and this must be taken into account in making the comparison. A goodly portion of the unused provisions of that season were carried over, and so may mitigate the more stringent conditions this year. Although it is true that short crops mean harder times, it will be the town dweller rather than the farmer who will feel the immediate effects: the agriculturalist will receive more cash than before. But this is not to argue that short rops make wealthier farmers, because the farmer will feet the effects later on. Corn, by far our most valuable crop, turned out smaller than in any year of the last ten, except in 1903. Wheat came up with a bumper yield and broke its own record for our entire history. Oats gave the third largest yield on record. The cotton yield will rank third or fourth in size compared with past figures. These four products comprise ninety per cent of all crop acreage. All told, this year's yield will average twelve ner cent less than in the previous season. That means that the nation has $720,000,000 less in wealth from the soil than in 1912. (Politicians will please note.) Spite of clubs and other stimulation one and one-quarter million acres less of corn were planted this year. It returned six and one-tenth bushels less per acre, which means a total yield of a77Vi million bushels less than in 1912, and a decrease in value of $171,500,000. Of wheat, 437,000,000 acres more were planted than in the previous season. It returned seven-tenths bushels more per acre, with a total of 33.113,000 bushels more, and an increased valuation of $54,841,000. Oats turned out 12,873.000 bushels less than in 1912. The cotton crop u'as worth $17,500,000 more. Potatoes fell short. (Irishmen, please note.) The crop came up 89,122,000 bushels behind, though they are worth 68.7 as against 50.5 in the previous year, giving an increase in valuation of $15,353,000. This means that while we can eat fewer "spuds," we must pay more for them. (The cook will please not note.) Farmers weren't enthusiastic about hay. They put in a half-million less acreage than in 1912, but the yield was slightly greater per acre. Owing to the decreased acreage the total value dropped $59,500,000. (Does this mean it will be cheaper to use a Ford than any other kind of a horse?) Of the important crops tobacco yielded the highest returns per acre, measuring up to the

A Bureau of Research for Richmond. Those familiar with the record of the Bureau of Research at Dayton are not surprised to learn that the Commercial Club committee was very favorably impressed iwth it. Any citizen with the least spark of civic pride or business sense will heartily subscribe to such an organization. It is to a town what brains are to a body. The Dayton bureau helped make the new charter which is now in effect there. Although this was in charge of the Committee of One Hundred and was later referred to popular vote, it is everywhere understood that Dr. Upson, director of the bureau, had a major influence in its shaping. The bureau has led in revolutionizing methods of administration in Dayton, and that is a more important thing in many ways than a new charter, because "bad government is due to badness of methods rather than to badness of men." Through improving the methods of running the town's business the bureau has helped to save the city thousands of dollars; how many thousands, it is impossible to calculate. With a liberal use of publicity, both through the papers and through pamphleteering, it has awakened the average citizen to a keener interest in the affairs of his own city. Previously almost all publicity was edited by party organs end reached the citizens in a somewhat dilapidated condition. By a skilful use of the noble art of not telling all the facts, the taxpayers were kept in ignorance of the way in which their hardearned money was being used. By publicity and through town meetings the bureau has helped create town consciousness, the greatest thing of all, everything considered, in lifting a community to higher levels. Every political administration sinks to the state of the people. Richmond, like all other Indiana cities, is the creature of the state and a fat pork barrel for political interests. The only possible way for another four years of lifting the plane of efficiency is through a bureau. Men of means, with a sense of civic pride and a desire to do something worth while will find such an organization the best possible kind of monument ; unlike an inert mass of bronze or stone, it will become in time a kind of perpetual motion machine of beneficence, turning out increased happiness and larger life for Richmond people during the generations to come.

that every girl is afraid of being an old maid. If I wpre a woman. I'd

rather be an old maid, with a house full of cats and parrotB than be forced to manicure my finger nails over a washtub in order to support a vile, smutty talking, whisky soaked man. "Many mothers have attended my meetings while their daughters were at home or were attending a "sore eye.' One mother told me she had a 16-year-old girl who would not come to the meetings. The idea of a little frizzled sister, who can t turn a flapjack without spilling the batter on the kitchen floor, having a fellow! Yet that is what many little girls in Richmond are doing tonight, and if the mothers know just what sort of fellows their daughters were with, they would put a stop to it. "Girls are not half as careful as boys. A boy will meet a girl on the streets under the shades of night, but in daytime he will shoot around corners to avoid speaking to her. A young woman, pure and innocent, however, will allow herself to be seen with this same young man, who probably has ruined the lives of others. Loafers on the streets will place a big question mark after the girl's failname, because she was with a young man whose reputation was none too good. Girls Should Be Careful. "I would rather have my girl in a coflin than to have any one place a question mark after her name." When a young man asks a girl to marry him, she should demand answers to three questions, the revivalist asserted. The questions are: (li Do you believe me to be a virtuous girl? (2) Have you lived a virtuous life? C5) If I had lived the same as you, would you still ask me to be your wife? The Rev. Mr. Honeywell declared that he was wearing himself out trying to tell fathers and mothers a few things that they should know. In closing he said that if his message resulted in building a protecting wall about young men and women he would gladly accept all the scorn and ridicule of persons who had opposed the evangelistic campaign. Admits He is Sensational. In a rather wild manner the evangelist threw some hot shots at persons who have raised opposition to the services. He declared that there are too many people in this city asking for peace and quiet Instead of a revival campaign. He admitted that he was a sensational preacher, but in justifying this, declared that such preachers obtained the best results. He said that Jesus was the inoHt sensational preacher the world had ever known. "If there is anything that makes me sick it is to see a big man, sniTfling and crying and saying that he wants peace and not a revival." he continued. "Well, let me tell you that you're not going to get much peace for the next few weeks, if I can help it. "We, in the church, are afraid of creating opposition, and we will avoid this at any cost. In the name of my wife, my children, my mother and my God, I declare war on sin and corruption. Brave men in the church can do more than any one and every one must help. Let there be no hypocrites, and when the smoke of the battle clears away let every one be prepared to answr the question, 'Where were yon?' "

Honeywell Deplores Spending Time in Arousing People. More men and women in the churches of Richmond acquainted with the spiritual power of God. is the need of the ity's churches, and not larger congregations. This was the diagnosis made by the Rev. I. A. Honeywell at the tabernacle yesterday afternoon. The desire for power is universal in this world. But the only power comes through the presence of the Holy Spirit. Whatever suecess comes to the evangelistic campaign, he said, would be due not lo the work of the chorus and its leader or to the manner in which the messages were delivered, but to the Spirit's presence and power. In a brief conference with workers at the close of the afternoon meeting, Rev. Honeywell deplored the fact that lie was having to spend half his time and energy arousing the church people and fitting them for the real work of the revival. He said the invitation would not be extended to the unsaved

YOU HAD A NECK AS LONG AS THIS FELLOW AND HAD SORE THROAT

for a week perhaps, or until the Spirit led. Too Much Organization. Despite the slush and snow on the Btreeta. and the falling snow whlrh threatened to turn to rain, about five hundred persons gathered In the front of the tabernacle at the opening of the sermon shortly before 3 o'clock. Pointing out the weaknesses of the

church, he delivered thiH atinglng shot, "Why, one of our troubles is that we are orgarnized to death. We have so much organization In the church today that the wheels of the machinery squeak under the load, and there is not enough oil of the Holy Spirit to grease one axle on God's chariot. "We have the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., the R. Y. P. P.. the K. L. the Y. P. S. C. K., the V K. M. S.. the W. H. M. S.. the L. A., the J. K . the J. E. L., and the JKLLY." Describes Societies' Work. The work of the young people's t-o-cieties he characterized as weak and effeminate and featured with long pauses, between which some member with ltss temerity than the rest, suggests the singing one one verse from number so and so. "Throw out the lifeline'' is one of the favorites of such meetings. Raising on his toes the evangelist hurled at his audience with all his strength, "Why, they haven't enough spiritual strength to put up a clothesline! "Spiritual life gives organization, but organization does not give spiritual life. What we u(-"d is not organization but Holy Spirit and power. Without its presence the church i.j, simply four walls with a roof over it; it is merely a social cloth. Strength in Spirit. "Samp;- i without the spirit of God is as heipless as a new-born babe, but with the spirit of God upon him, he siezes the jawbone or an ass and the higher critics who are whittling at the Word of God are using the same instrument still and he slays a whole army." Calling upon the Christian people, whom he designated as the ambassadors and representatives of the Lord, "to pull the stuffin's and groanings from their prayers," he told them, to line up with God and His host of angels in the fight for the home and Richmond." The real Christian life, the evangelist told his hearers, was to be dead to self and alive to Christ. At the close of the sermon Rev. Honeywell asked the Christian people who were willing to work for the success of the meeting to remain for a brief conference. Nearly all the five hundred persons remained to hear the evangelist outline his campaign. Must First Arouse People. Thus far, hi said, his efforts have been confined to arousing the Christian people. He described as a shame the fact that he would have to spend half of his time and energy lining up the church people to a sense of their duty and willingness to work. The time, he said, was not ripe for working among the unsaved. When the invitation was given, he said, he never asked the Christians to vote, thus separating and embarrassing those who had not confessed their faults. But he did ask ever man and woman present, who was willing to work to get into the aisles and talk to friends the minute the invitation was extended. The majority of conversions, he claimed. were made through the offices of friends. The church people of Troy, Rev. Honeywell announced, had expressed a desire to come to the city to do personal work as soon as possible. He said he was expecting two or three cars of enthusiastic persons from that city. The evangelist extended an invitation to the old soldiers and the W. R. C. to be the special guests at one

of the meetings next week and to attend in a body. Points to Women. A terrible uilenco fell over the audience when the evanpelmtB at the climax of his sermon titopped and cried. "L'sher, uaher, I watit home usher to respond quickly; sit beiiind those two young ladles back there und watch them. If they don't know how to behave, show them the way to th door." He continued punning at the young women until the usher complied with his request.

POWER THROUGH PRAYER Men Who Sway Destinies of Nations Pray Constantly.

That the men who have proved themselves the beacon lights of history and the men who have swayed the destinies of nations are men of prayer, was the statement of Evangelist Honeywell at the Saturday night meeting at the tabernacle. Prayers, however, that are of the old, stereotyped style, do little good, he taid, for they must be players of confession, weakness of the mortal throwing itself upon the strength of the Supreme Being, the armor ot battle, and Ignorance throwing itself on God's wldom. "You may say your prayers from the cradle to the grave, and yet ne-r i.ae prayed,'' he continued. "The prayer must come from the heart and not the lips. Prayers repeated day after day in the way it was taught you in the kindergarten Bible class are lost ten thousand miles this side of heaven. They never rise higher than those electric lights. Praying is Essential. "You might just as well try to live physically without breathing as to live spiritually without praying. When you pray you are talking to the King of Prayer. "Did it ever occur to you that your prayer han not been answered? Your prayer may h ve been acceptable to God, and still not have brought an immediate answer. If the answer to a prayer were to follow immediately, the end God has in view might be defeated "Are we to expect wonderful results of prayer in Richmond in the Twentieth century? The trouble is, we expect :oo little. Have faith the greatest of laith and you can not ask too much. Believe more and receive more, for God has the power to grant it. The !rtlu nee and power that the church ha-" enjoyed in the past maybe yours through prayer. "You taik to your wives and husbands about the evangelist's peculiarities and about my eccentricities; you talk about 'he weather, about politics, about the current events of the day, but do you discuss your husband's or your wife's religious standing with one another?"
