CHEAPNESS OF VOTE MENACE TO COUNTRY Rev. L. E. Murray Deplores Lack of Qualification of Many Voters.

"The most pregnant sentence in political literature is that sentence in the Declaration of Independence which declares that, all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that to secure these, governments are instituted, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed," declared the Rev. L. E. Murray at the First Christian church yesterday morning.

"This proposition has been put to a

severe test in the American government. In bis Gettysburg speech Lincoln said the Civil war was a test whether a nation so conceived could long endure. He recognized slavery as a menace to the continued existence of such a government. With the abolition of slavery one grave national peril was removed. But we need to safeguard against others still existing. "One of these is irresponsible citizenship. In a country where the people have the responsibility of government the right to citizenship should

be highly esteemed and carefully guarded. More care should be exercised in the naturalization of foreigners. No man should be allowed to vote before he is qualified for citizenship. Schools for the preparation of foreigners should be maintained. Then, as some one has suggested, if we should give significance to our Fourth of July celebration and to the process of naturalization by making this the one day of the year for conferring the rights of citizenship, accompanied with an impressive demonstration a civic

parade, a public assembly, patriotic address and a public reception to the new citizens, some sense of responsibility would be Imparted. In Indiana a man may vote before he becomes a citizen. That makes the right of franchise appear very cheap. This is one of the perils."

MILTON DECORATES. MILTON, July 6. Fourth of July was observed here with the usual amount of noise from firecrackers. Business houses and residences wera decorated with flags and bunting.

MARKE

T HOUSE GARDENERS

STRIKE AGAINST CITY

Five gardeners who. leased stands at the market house have gone on a strike. President Bavis, of the board of public works today announced that these men had stated they would make no further payments for their market privileges ".until the city decided what it was going to do." Mr. Bavis said he interpreted this to mean that if the city did not let them do as they pleased they would not make any payments. Marketmaster McKinley then informed the board that James Petry, a gardener, had told him that when the city officials "pulled in their horns and quit telling the gardeners what they must do, he would pay for his stand." McMinn's Opinion. Mr. McMinn, of the board, said he thought the gardeners should be obliged to carry out their agreement with the city, but he believed they should not be driven with such a tight rein in the future. He expressed the opinion that the gardeners should not be prevented from regulating prices, and he said if the people were willing to pay fancy prices for produce, that was their business, and if they object to market produce , prices they will soon quit patronizing the market. A motion wasifinally passed extending the closing 'hour Saturday nights from 9:20 to 10:30 o'clock, and to notify all gardeners that they would be expected to observe their agreements with the city. Friday afternoon a delegation of five east-end women, headed by Miss Elsie Marshall and Frank Farquhar, appeared before the mayor and the board of public works and demanded to know if it was the intention of the city to close the east-end market. They were informed that no such action was contemplated. They said they had obtained that impression from remarks maJ- by4.he marketmaster. They also sa" that they were not kicking on tii srices' asked for produce, and they w.. ed their market.

The board today approved the transfer of the contract of F. E. Slick for the paving of Main street from Fourth street to the bridge to Mather Kelsey, who filed bond for $8,000. The board announced that Mr. Cur ry, who has the public oiling contract, would arrive in Richmond this afternoon and begin work. Mr. Davis, a private contractor, asked the board if the city would guarantee payments if he took some sub-contracts from Curry, and was informed that it would if he entered into a contract with Curry. Davis did not say what he intended to do. C. B. Hunt appeared before the board and protested against the dumping of loose crushed stone in holes in the street without having the stone rolled. In the future screened creek gravel will be used for street repair purposes. A new schedule of electric power rates for the city plant and Light, Heat and Power company, providing a ten per cent reduction, was approved by

the board, and its adoption will be asked of the state public utilities commission. This new schedule was made public last Friday. The board concluded its session by voting to advertise for bids for four kinds of street arc lamps, the luminous arc, the Type C, the carbon flame and the nitrogen. Bids will be received July 23. The specifications call for bids on 375 lamps, more or less.
