LUTHERANS SOLICIT FUNDS OFMEMBERS Hundred Men of First Church Conduct Annual Canvass for Expenses. Every resident member of the First English Lutheran church was called upon yesterday by fifty two-men committees which solicited subscriptions for money for every department of the church in 1915. After the regular service yesterday morning the Rev. Mr. Howard commissioned one hundred men to act as committees in carrying out the annual every-member canvass. The men left the church in a body and completed the work yesterday afternoon. The reports returned last night Indicated that the canvass was more successful than any preceding. The complete report will be gathered this week. In the Sunday school new officers were elected. E. M. Haas was chairman of the nominating committee. The list of Sunday school officers follows: Superintendent, Everard Knollenberg; first assistant, Clarence Foreman; second assistant, E. M. Haas; secretary, Carl Sieweke; treasurer, Miss Emma Engelbrecht; librarians, Henry Deuker and RIarlow Kluter; (superintendent of primary department, Anna Heitbrink; superintendent of the home department, Mrs. Clyde Alexander; chorister, Lee B. Nusbaum.

PATRIOTISM OF (Continued from Page One.) the liquor business are up for consideration in Washington, do you think that an official representative of the brewers or distillers' or liquor dealers' organization is usually there to look out for their interests? No, they depend almost entirely on Dr. Hexamer, national president of the German Alliance. Opposes Liquor Stand. I am saying this because I want it understood that it is the liquor part of the Alliance that I am opposing and not the German, and also for the reason that tnere may be some who have affiliated with this organization without knowing the chief thing for which it has been contending. This 1 want also to add that to make it appear that the paramount thing in the mind of our citizens who once were German in the perpetuation of the saloon business is a libel on many of our best citizens. "But," says somebody, "while the German Alliance does stand against prohibition it is an earnest advocate of true temperance and a saloon reform that would materially curtail the consumption of liquor. It surely will not be claimed that the liquor interests are backing up an organization whose purpose tends to injur the business. The fact is that the liquor business Is sick. It is in a bad way in many parts of this country. It has been driven from many towns and counties and states, and is threatened now from Washington. It has been driven from the Navy and the Army, and a constitutional amendment is proposed driving it from the nation and several states are voting this fall on banishing It from its borders. Life insurance companies have launched campaigns against it and many large manufacturing concerns have condemned it. I cannot take time to specify. The fact Is common knowledge. The liquor business is sick, and is anxious to concede some reforms! It is trying hard to appear respectable. Why those beautiful and expensive posters compelling such men as Lincoln and Grant to decorate beer adds with their pictures? It is all a part of a movement to rehabilitate a business that is very badly alarmed over the state of its health. Liquor Business Sick. If anybody thinks the liquor business is getting good, just remember that it is scared. Some of our local advocates of reform, (and I do not question the sincerity of many of them) say. "Give us the German saloon with its screenless front and its friendly tables. Take away the convivial bar and the glittering sideboard." Now I know very little about the German saloon. I think aa a place it may lack some of the objectionable features of the typical American barroom. But if it is to make the public drinking of intoxicants appear as respectable as public eating, then I can see in it more possibilities for harm than the place the entrance to which is looked upon as a thing to be ashamed of by many of the young people of our day. But I want to take a little more notice of this advocacy of the German system of drinking. Surely it is not claimed that there is no drink evil in Germany! I am sure the advocates of this system cannot be ignorant of the fact that several years ago the German Kmperor declared himself a total abstainer, and became an ardent advocate, not of "true temperance," which is always the phrase of the liquor man, but of total abstainance on the part of his people. Fundamentally our drink problem is not in the saloon, but. in the drink. It is a saloon problem because the saloon is the agency through which the liquor business reaches most of its patrons. The only reform that could be effective would be to stop the thing that does the harm. That is, to stop the dispensing of the drinks. Liberty Plea Selfish. "But." says somebody, "when you make it impossible for me to get a drink of intoxicating liquor, you interfere with my personal liberty." Now, honor bright, my personal liberty friend, do you really consider personal liberty the supreme thing, the sacred thing in civilization! When you claim it in the name of a German is it because there was no such freedom in the Fatherland that you never can get accustomed to the restraints of America? This is the first thing I have to say about this personal liberty claim. The one who sets it up as an individual right against the community welfare exhibits a remarkable obtuseness about civilized government or else he is saturated with the quintessence of selfishness. That personal liberty claim is drenched with selfishness, it reeks with it. It Is selfishness personified. It has not one Iota of public welfare in it, and the one who sets It up as the reason for his stand on any question of public concern, must consent to being counted out of that class who consider the public welfare, he counts himself out. When the day comes that the cry jpf personal liberty, prevails in our

But there is something strikingly Inconsistent in this sophestry of individual rights, coming as it does in company with the advocacy of regulation. Do our personal liberty friends not know that just as soon as you begin to regulate you begin to curtail somebody's individual rights? Anti-Treating Good. A part of the reforms suggested is an anti-treating regulation. This is a commendable thing, but exceedingly difficult to carry out. But in the event of its becoming effective what becomes of the long established right of one individual's showing his regard for another by treating him to a glass of beer? It has been sacrificed in the interests of the man. Apparently the right of personal liberty has its limitations with some of its ardent advocates. It is sacred only in providing a convenient place to slake an imported thirst made in Germany for those who were to the lager born. The German Alliance is agitating from its headquarters in Pennsylvania this question with a view to fastening on the nation the liquor business as a permanent part of our customs. It is keeping current the trite phrases and stock arguments coined years ago by the liquor press bureaus. It has asked us to listen to the other side. I have something here coming also from Pennsylvania that does indeed represent another side. It does not come under a name so high-sounding as the German Alliance, but it ought to be received as just as good authority, because it really gives us inside information. It is a petition to the General Assembly of the state of Pennsylvania asking for the enactment of a statewide prohibition law, signed last fourth of July by 1,008 of the 1.478 inmates of the Eastern State Penitentiary of Pennsylvania. This petition was circulated and signed voluntarily, and claims that fully 70 per cent of the inmates of that institution are there on account of. the use of intoxicating liquors.

Turkish empire would cease to exist and would be divided. "Sweden probably is pro-German in this war as she fears and hates Russia and would like to get back Finland, which Russia once took from her. But Norway and Denmark, which are closely allied, fear the Germans more than they do the Russians, and so Sweden is checked as far as giving aid to Germany is concerned. "Efforts for mediation at this time probably will be fruitless. Both sides feel that the war must be fought to a decisive conclusion; that one side or the other must be conquered. Peace before that stage, they feel, would only be an armistice, a putting off of the decisive conflict. Austria Gets Blame. "Austria, generally, is blamed for the outbreak of the war. Her demands on Servia after the assassination ofne Archduke Franz Ferdinand were such that no self-respecting nation could accede to them. And after Austria declared war on Servia no power on earth could keep Russia out of the conflict. "1 am sure Russia did not want war at this time. The wife of a very high Russian official who was stopping at the same hotel where I was in Nauheim told me the czar was opposed to war at this time, and she was very much shocked and surprised when war was actually declared. I understand some of the Russian grand dukes were in favor of war, but that the czar was not. Public opinion forced the czar to come to the aid of the Servians, a people related by ties of blood and history with the Russian people. "Of course, Germany might have brought such pressure to bear on Austria that the latter country would have been forced to recede from her very arbitrary position regarding Servia. But Germany, knowing Italy was weak-kneed in her support of the Triple Alliance, since the Italian victories over Turkey and the acquisition of Tripoli, probably felt that she could not afford to humiliate the one remaining ally she was sure of. Germany Strong Today. "Besides, Germany knew that France and Russian were carrying on gigantic army preparations that would require three years longer to complete, and that her position was relatively much stronger today than it would be at the end of that time. "My personal experience," went on Mr. Foulke, "both in Germany and Kngland, as published in my letters in the Palladium, were interesting to me. The most interesting of course, was in witnessing the Germans mobilizing their army. It was wonderful. I laid awake one whole night listening to the troop trains passing on the railroad, one train going by every five sold by Grocers everywhere.

OPEN ART EXHIBIT

TO GET ME Association Officers Ask Public to Support Society Boosting Richmond. With the reception at the art gallery in the high school building tomorrow evening at 8 o'clock the first of the series of art exhibits for the winter will begin. This collection of pictures is the American artists exhibit prepared by Mrs. M. F. Johnston. Because of the unusually early opening of the gallery this year, Mrs. iaul Cgmstock, president of the Art association, said the society's solicitors had not had an opportunity to call on old members to get their membership, but arrangements had been made to dispose of membership cards at the door. She made a plea for the public to attend the reception and support the association by becoming members. The society, she said, is dependent on the public for its existence. She said it ought to be strengthened, being one of the best advertisements Richmond has. Everywhere the city is known as an art center because of the Art association's work. minutes. Each one was cheered by the people as it passed through Nauheim. That 'job' I received as American representative at Nauheim was the easiest obtained I ever experienced. And it was about the least desirable, too, I guess. "Yes," concluded Mr. Foulke, whose appearance would lead one to believe that such war time experiences were excellent for the health, "I am very glad to be back in America, and no longer among the American refugees abroad." FIRE EXPERTS WILL (Continued from Page One.) rates in this city or maintains the existing schedules. On the evening of Tuesday, October 13, an open meeting for the men, women and children of Richmond will be arranged and at this meeting the association experts will speak on fire prevention work and report the result of their investigations in Richmond the previous day. At Mr. Eggemeyer's suggestion Mayor Robbins will order Fire Chief Miller and Building Inspector Hodgin to arrange to notify business men throughout the city to have their places of business made "ship-shape" to show the experts they are co-operating in the work of fire prevention. Mr. Eggemeyer announced today that E. M. Sellers, secretary of the Indiana Fire Insurance Bureau, to whom an appeal for local rate reductions was made, has had an expert in Richmond to check up the list of improvements made in Richmond the past three years which were cited by the Commercial club committee as the basis of its petition for rate reductions. Mr. Sellers informed Mr. Eggemeyer that his expert had made a report to him and that he was now prepared to take up directly the matter of rate reductions for Richmond and would come to this city whenever it was convenient for the committee. Mr. Sellers has been notified that the committee will meet with him in the Commercial club rooms Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Mr. Kggemeyer invited the mayor, members of the board of public works, building inspector and fire chief to attend this meeting. DRUIDS HAVE WORK The first degree will be exemplified on a class of thirty candidates by Richmond Grove of Druids at the regI ular meeting tonight. A full attendance of members is desired.

Valuable Discovery in Complexion Beautifier Because of its peculiar power of absorption, also because it serves every emollient purpose, ordinary mercolized wax is perhaps the most valuable complexion beautifier discovered within recent years. If one uses this she needs no toilet cream. Some use powder afterward, but this is not necessary. This rule for applying mercolized wax has been found very satisfactory: Wash the face with warm water, drying lightly. Before thoroughly dry, anoint face and neck with the wax, but don't rub it in. The favorite way is to use before retiring, allowing it to remain on all night and washing it off in the morning with warm water. All druggists have this way in original cne-ounce packages. For the removal of a wrinkled or flabby condition there's nothing better than to bathe the face in a solution made by dissolving 1 ounce powdered saxolite in y2 pint witch hazel. Beneficial results are quickly noticeable. (Advertisement.)
