You the Government Richmond is ruled by the people who compose its citizenship. No outside dignitary can from a distance dictate to us the disposition of our local affairs. WE are the city government. But since we have each his own affairs to occupy his time and since the fulfilling of political functions has become so complex as to reouire professional skill, we have selected representatives serving as our stewards to do the actual work of administering public offices for us. Tom, Dick and Harry are incompetent to enforce the city's health office. We have, therefore, selected Dr. Smelser to do this work of ours as our representative. Laying out streets and seeing that sewers are properly constructed and placed is such work as only a trained engineer can undertake. We do this work, therefore, through Mr. Charles. The legal complications of our. community life are usually so entangled and so difficult the average citizen would be helpless to cope with them. For this reason Mr. Bond has been selected to do the city's work for it. Nevertheless, though we have engaged these men to do this for us and under our directions, we have not laid aside one iota of our own responsibility in city affairs. It ir, to be expected, therefore, that we will take a keen interest in all policies having to do with the welfare of our city, that we will want to

direct method by which we may make some faint,

rude guesses of the nature of the Subconscious end of the Mystery. For a long time astronomers were nonplussed

by peculiar actions of Uranus. This planet seemed to set at variance many of the scientists' most certain laws because of its peculiar motions. At last in 1886, Mrs. Somerville published a little book in which she said, "Possibly it (Uranus) may be subject to disturbances from some unknown planet beyond the present boundaries of our system." Acting on the hint, J. C. Adams, an English astronomer, gathered together all available facts about the strange behavior of Uranus and finally calculated there must indeed be another planet,

even as Mrs. Somerville had suggested, and went so far as to compute its size and discover its location. In 1846, two astronomers, one English and one German, found that planet in almost the very point in space that Adams had predicted and thus added one more member of the sun's big family. That planet was named Neptune. These scientists described an object which they had never seen by a careful study of its influence on objects which they had seen. Why cannot the same method be used in learning somewhat about those realities which lie outside the boundaries of our knowledge ? Cannot we, by a study of the disturbances inside the field of our Subconsciousness, come to know something about those things which lie outside that field? Maurice Maeterlinck believes we can and has dedicated an unusually brilliant mind and devoted an unusually busy rife to a study of man's life along the verges of the unknown. Reasoning from what he has found within the area of our knowledge, he has made bold to describe in broad outline certain of those realities which lie in the unexplored spheres which lie beyond the reach

!of our faculties. It is for this reason he is often

his long engagement here. "The Boss" is truly a wonderful play and should play to big business all week. There will be another matinee tomorrow. Following the performance Friday night there will be another amateur contest, also a skating contest between two of the best skaters in Richmond.

"A Man' Game." "A Man's Oame" which has been played successfully for several seasons by Miss Esther Williams, will be the offering of the Francis Sayles Players at the Gennett theatre for the first five days of next week. The company will say farewell next Saturday night with a big production of "The Lion and the Mouse." The country store next Monday night promises much amusement as the capital prize will be a live pig, and who ever draws the pig has to come upon the stage and catch it. The other prizes will also be given away just the same.

All are agreed that would be hastiest thinker that there is far more in a man's an act of national folly. life than is contained within the limits of his self - j it has been with the utmost difficulty that consciousness. The vital energy which keeps his I the American public has been able to lay hold of

heart beating, his blood circulating, his organs functioning, is a part of his life, but he is unconscious of it. In sleep, though one is as much alive as ever, self -consciousness has disappeared entirely. The iceberg lifts but a fraction of itself above the surface in the light of day: The greater part of itself is hidden in the twilight of the sea's depths below. So also with the man. That part of him which stands in the light of self -consciousness appears to be but a fraction of his being: a larger part reaches down into the shadows of the Subconscious. And as a man can know only a small part of himself, so also is his knowledge of the universe that surrounds him a very minute area compared with the vastness of the unknown. He stands, as it were, a small island in a limitless sea stretching infinitely in every direction. That part of the universe which lies beyond the reach of our power to know is Mystery. But who shall say that the unknown in a man's life, which we call Subconsciousness, and the unknown in the universe, which we call Mystery, are unreal ? On the contrary, it is probable that there are truths, there are joys, there are powers awaiting us beyond our present boundaries which will dwarf present possessions into insignificance. Is there no way, therefore, by which we may even now come to guess something of wbat the

random, and then went over them to be sure that we had not accidentally chosen either the best or the poorest of their respective classes. We wanted average businesses. We chose six boot and shoe dealers, five clothiers, ten druggists, four dry goods stores, two furniture dealers, twelve grocers, four restaurants, three confectioners, and one jeweler. We found that the forty-seven firms had returned for taxation a total valuation on stock and fixtures used In their .business, but not counting safes and cash registers, amounting to $131,208. This makes an average or assessed valuation of $2,791.65 against an average of $409.36 for the forty-seven saloons. The total city tax on the property returned by the forty-seven business firms amount to $1,443.28, against $211.64 for the saloons. The city treasury would be the gainer by the difference, if the saloon were abolished and other business substituted for them. It may be asked on what grounds we assume that other business firms would take the places of the saloons. The answer is, first of all, that they did in Marion, Kokomo and other cities that the saloons must average from ten to fifteen thousand dollars worth of business each year. They could not make a fair prifit, pay licenses and other expenses and still make the comfortable living they seem to inako unless they did do that amount of business on the average. The average for saloons the country over is said to be somewhat over ten thousand a year, and report has it that the saloons of Richmond do better

! than the average. If thpse figure arp I not correct, the Richmond public I would be mightily interested in hav- ; ing them show their books. Anyhow, if they do not do from ten to fifteen ; thousand dollars' worth of business a

year, they must make an enormous profit, or else the measly business is worth hanging onto so hard. Why don't they let the drys have it, and go into some paying business? Spend it Elsewhere. "It is safe to assume, therefore, that between five and six hundred thousand dollars is spent in the saloons each year. If the city went dry that money would be here to be spent for other lines of goods. A little of it might be carried by old topers to well, Oonnersville, say, but at least a half million would be here for business purposes: and the cold records make it certain that dollar for dollar it would yield the city treasury seven times as much in taxes as the saloons do. "Next we looked into the amount the city t inpers are out because of crime causol by the saloons. Experts in statistics of crime pstimate that 50 per cent of crime is due to the saloon in addition to public intoxication. Since half the arrests in Richmond last year were for intoxication, and a little more than 68 per cent of the arrests were due directly to the saloons, we may scarcely say that Richmond is an average city in that respect. We can not separate county and city costs thoroughly, so we shall take the county cost of crime, and set Richmond's share at 45 per cent, since Richmond pays 45 per cent of the county fund. We did not count sheriff's and turnkey's salaries nor cost of new buildings and repairs at the jail, on the ground that we need a jail even though the saloons were gone. The auditor's account runs: Pauper attorney and truant officer $ 600.00 Hoard and care of prisoners 6,209.45 Jail supplies 1.S91.50 Extra employes 1,206. OS Probation officer 665.38 Returning fugitives 121.84

Since 1909, when the city Toted wet, two patrolmen have been added to the force, whereas, had It met been for the Increase of crime doe to the saloons no more would hare been needaad possibly one might hare been dispensed with.

which Is due to liquor. A conservative estimate is 55 per cent. We do not count here the sums spent by the Associated Charities of Richmond, because the money does not come out of the taxes; but it Is Important to keep In mind the fact that an equivalent sum would have to be added to the township poor relief if it were not furnished by voluntary contributions. In the county charges for poverty I have included all the cost of the county poor farm, because in prohibition states many counties, and in some a majority, have no poor asylums. Our county farm last year had forty-seven Inmates, of whom thirteen were from Richmond; and no doubt Richmond whisky played its part in the poverty of the remainder. If we had no saloons in Wayne county the few poor left might be cared for in private institutions or in state institutions, just as we now care for our orphans. It seems just, therefore, to charge to the saloons their full 55 per cent of the 45 per cent which the city pays of the county funds. The auditor's statement follows: Poor farm, new buildings . . 813.30 Poor farm, repairs and care of grounds 896.16 Poor farm, salary of superintendent and employes 3,029 60 Poor farm, supplies and maintenance 7,982.03

252.88

Total $21,408.55 Of this we take 45 per cent as Richmond's share $ 9,633.84 To this we add the township poor relief 3,957.54

Total $13,591.38 Of this 55 per cent is chargeable to the saloons $ 7,475.25 Cost of Police. "We learn that the cost of the public police department of Richmond has increased from $1S.1."0.96 in 1910, to $19,901.71 in 1913. This is an increase of $1,750.75. This increase is all chargeable to the saloon. For in

spite of our growth in population, the

statistics of arrests, as published recently, show that one group of crimes

Total $14,449.12 "All this does not come oat of the city treasury into which the license fees go; but the city and county taxes are not divided until after taxes are paid. The taxpayer foots the whole bill in one payment. What does it profit Richmond to reduce the city's share of $14,000 If it by the same process increases what it actually pays out through the county and township by more than it receives? "You will notice that the statement just made out takes no account of the $1,718.48 paid over last year by the Associated charities. This is certainly not more than 55 per cent of the private charity of Richmond, and is, therefore all chargeable to the saloons. This takes no account of the costs and fines paid in police court, all ojl which is taken from the living of families or the savings of the city. This takes no account of the cost of the criminal and divorce courts. This does not count the cost of Wayne county's seventeen inmates in Easthaven last year. Their cost to the state was $3,314.66, of which 25 per cent, at least, was chargeable directly or indirectly to the liquor business. This does not count wages lost by the men who lay In Jail last year a total of 15,550 days. That is equal to more than forty years for one man. If each could have averaged $1.25 a day the total wages lost would amount each year to the saving of a lifetime $19,403.85. This does not count lost jobs because of drunkenness, losses by accidents, lost education, the extra drain upon the schools of underfed and clothed children and dullards.

Even from congressional committees, these matters have been withheld. But the situation has become so acute, the tension has grown so intolerable, Congress is now demanding that it be informed more definitely about the Mexican difficulties. This is right and just.

Bile Inhibits Germ Growth

We are told that all disease i.s simply an excess of germs. Germs get under the sain and make a sore. It festers and becomes inflamed. Where one germ gets under the skin millions go into the body with the food we eat. They should not hurt us a particle, and would not if the Bile flowed freely. Bile stops inhibits the breeding or multiplication of these germs, and, as long as it flows freely, we have no trouble. May Apple Root was called "Mandrake" in the Bible. The Doctors call In "Podophyllin." For ages it has been used as a Bile-Starter. In

but now it is put up in a formula the old form it griped and sickened called "PoDoLax." iu which all the old faults have been eliminated. Children take it without resistance. It releases the Bile as sure as you take it. Bile purifies the food in the intestines after Nature's own method. The blood abounds with life and no foreign germ can breed or multiply in the Bile-purified food. A 50c bottle of PoDoLax will prove this, and you will say "Why didn't some one think of this before?" To offer you something as good as PoDoLax is to question your judgment.
