Boost the New South Bridge. Commencing work on the new south bridge at this time instead of waiting several more years presents opportunities for good for the community in more ways than one. In the first place it will be a wise business move. It will give employment to many men who are now out of jobs and need work badly to support themselves and their families. It will be built at a time when materials can be bought cheaper than in years, which means that taxpayers' money will buy more now than a couple or five years from now. In the second place the sooner the bridge is built the sooner the southern and southwestern 6ections of Richmond will be placed in line for the great growth that is deservedly theirs. Richmond has always been noted for the compactness of its growth. To keep it so, for that is the most efficient kind of growth, and to prevent the city "stringing" out too much in a straight line, this Jbridge is needed to link together the two southfern sections of the city that are now divided by the river. In the third place, building the south bridge now brings much nearer the time when a new and adequate Main street bridge can be erected. Everyone who has stood upon the present Main Btreet structure when either an interurban or a Wagon was crossing it and has noted the enormous vibration resulting, knows just how unsafe this bridge is. The new south bridge would take care of the traffic that would have to be diverted jtvhile a new Main street bridge was being built. The sooner this is done not only will the public Safety be better regarded but also a step in true economy will have been made; for the present Steel structure, taken down, repaired and repainted, can be moved to another location at a cost trifling in comparison to the cost of a new bridge, and be made to give years of good service still. As to the precise location for the new south bridge, the editor, after a trip of inspection taken with the county commissioners and the county bridge engineer, is convinced that South G street is the most logical from all viewpoints. At that point the least expensive structure Can be built. There would be the miiymum of property damage for the county to meet. No C. (md 0. grade crossing would have to be circumvented by costly viaduct construction. Lastly, South G street represents a fair compromise between the desires of the South Side Improvement association and the South West Side Improvement association. The former has been holding out for the South L street location,

but is now willing to agree to the location recommended by the county bridge engineer, South G street. The latter association has always declared for South E street. South G street is but two short blocks from South E street and is a jkr less costly location. In the interests of getting this bridge under construction now when labor is so vitally in need of work, when the taxpayer can get more for his money through the lower cost of materials and for the sake.of giving a quick and new impetus to the growth of both south sections of the city, The Palladium sincerely trusts the members of the South West Side Improvement association will join with it in recommending South G street as the site for the new bridge and in urging the county commissioners and the members of the county council to make possible the earliest start in actual construction.

RUSSELL OPPOSES

AS MEANING SURRENDER

Make the Motto Good Provide Work. The mayor and council tonight will canvass the situation of relief for the unemployed from the standpoint of what the city can do by way of providing public work. The city engineer has made a valuable suggestion in calling attention to the fact that the most extensive public work the city could carry on efficiently in winter would be sewer construction and the utter inadequacy of many of our most important sewer systems in the heart of the business district of the city.

This point is one the mayor and council should !

very seriously consider. Thousands of dollars of damage is being done every year to business interests by floods resulting from our bad sewer system. This should be remedied by the installation of a properly constructed system. To start this work this winter would provide a great deal of rough labor which would materially reduce the number of our unemployed and keep a large fund of money in circulation, to the benefit and prosperity of all classes of citizens. And the taxpayers would benefit in having their work done at a time when materials are cheaper than they have been in years. Equally important, however, with consideration of such details is the fact that the effort to start prosperity on its usual rounds in Richmond by providing useful work of all kinds should be an organized effort. Organization is what counts

I in efficient results. The day of accomplishing things in a hit or miss fashion is past. If Ger'many is today earning the plaudits of half the ! world for the manner in which she is practically

single handedly standing off the other half of the world in arms, it is because of her wonderfully efficient national organization. In order to co-ordinate public and private efforts to create work for the unemployed and thus aid in keeping up Richmond's circle of trade as well as prevent unindurable suffering, the mayor and council should seriously consider the necessity of forming immediately for this purpose an efficient citizen organization. With an efficient organization this situation can be handled right. Without an efficient organization and loyal co-operation on the part of all citizens, newspapers and other interests, we might as well prepare now to locate our soup houses and turn face to the wall our city's motto, "Richmond, the Panic Proof City."

Live Subjects at R. B. C.

Prof. Elbert Russell from Earlham college had charge of the morning exercises at the Richmond Business college on Thursday morning. He took as his subject "The Rules of the Game," and made some very vivid illustrations of loyal, honest service and willingness to follow instructions of those who are in authority; the necessity of this, in order to be successful. His talk was very favorably received. L. B. Campbell went to Anderson on Wednesday to look after some business affairs in connection with the school in that city. Pauline Wrede accepted a position with the Hoosier Manufacturing company of New Castle, and began work last Tuesday afternoon. Miss Wrede is a stenotype operator. Miss Neva Ireland, who is a stenotypist in the office of the Hoosier Manufacturing company of New Castle, spent Sunday with her people in this city. James Haxton and Marion Haisley of Economy, who are attending school here left school early on Friday to enjoy this beautiful weather by accompanying their people home In an

automobile instead of waiting for the night train. The college pins, which were ordered some time ago, have arrived and a number of the students and some former students have secured them. L. B. Campbell who is secretary of the Indiana Business college left early Saturday morning to attend the regular meeting of the board of directors which is held at Indianapolis. The examinations, which have been held by the Stenotype company for all those students who have taken up the

I study of stenotypy since Sept. 1, have

ueen passed witn graaes wnicn are commendable, and show that the students in this department have been rewarded for their honest, earnest efforts. The grades of the Richmond Business college were second in the United States for the month of September, and when the reports come out for October the school expects a most excellent showing. Miss Harriett Williams has assumed the work in the college bank this week and is starting out very nicely with it.

Firmly opposing the suggestion of Republican leaders that the Progressive and Republican parties merge, Elbert Russell of this city. Progressive candidate for representative In congress this fall, today declared that such a merger would be an unconditional surrender of all the principles the Progressives had stood for. He said If these principles were ever to be incorporated Into our government the Progressive party must be maintained. "It is too early to predict what the future of the Progressive party will be," Prof. Russell said. "I can only say what I believe the members of the Progressive party ought to do. I believe we ought to maintain our organization and go right on with a campaign of education, at least until some more effective means of getting our principles embodied in our government presents itself. Opposes Amalgamation. "The suggestion that Progressives should now join or rejoin the Republican party," he continued, "comes almost altogether from the Republicans, as far as I know. I can think of but two considerations that might lead us to join the Republican party at this time. We might want to get back to it If we were merely after office and had despaired of getting in power as Progressives. As far as I known them the Progressive leaders are not men who are ready to repudiate their professed principles in order to get elected to office. But suppose we were only a lot of office seekers, what inducements are the Republicans likely to offer us? Will they nominate Beveridge for the senate against Watson? Would any of our splendid young men like Kitselman or Judge Wilson or Bernard Shiveley stand any show of office? If I were an office seeker would 'Our Jim' Watson at some future Cambridge City district convention let me run for congress to keep him company when he gets in the senate? "Since we are not swayed by hope of office we might join the Republican party if the causes of the split in 1912 had been wholly and permanently removed and that party had become the champion of Progressive principles What are the facts? "The old gang that throttled the popular will, that perpetuated the PayneAldrich steal, that serves the big interests and hates our program of social and industrial justice is still in the saddle. Cannon, Penrose, Branegee, Payne, McKinley and our own Will Wood are back in congress. Watson is grooming himself for the senate. As for the Progressive principles, which were the real cause for the split in 1912, the present leaders of the Repubilcan party have never even pretended to favor the most vital of them. The 6tate Republican platform this year did not favor a tariff commission, but P. J. Lynch publicly repudiated it in his campaign for congress. The initiative, referendum and recall are anathema to the very Republican leaders who are inviting us to come back, because, as they assert, 'Practically every Progressive measure' is now indorsed by the Republicans. G. O. P. Protects Interests. "The constitutional convention that would have given us a chance to enlarge the direct power of the people was ignored by the Republican press and speakers. The opposition to it was led by the Republican editor of the Washington (Ind.) Herald, who was one of the men who drafted the Republican state platform. The Republican leaders are more concerned that measures for social and industrial justice should be made 'safe' for the big interests than than the public welfare should be properly conserved. "To join the Republican party in the face of all this would be to confess that to us failure to get elected is the only failure we fear, and repudiate our own professed principles." Prof. Russell was reminded that some Republican leaders were inviting Progressives to return to the old party for the purpose of co-operating in the work of getting rid of the old Republican bosses and to use the party for the purpose of putting through a Progressive legislative program.

"We were beaten in 1912 in our attempt to control the Republican party, when we had a stronger hold on It

than we could get now," be replied. "Also at that time we had the advantage of Roosevelt's influence. The old gang, like the French Bourbons, has forgotten nothing and learned nothing. The Cambridge City Republican convention last spring shows that. The Wayne county Republicans came home very wrathy over Lynch's nomination, but when November 3 came practically all of them swallowed their wrath and ate out of Watson's hand. If we went back into the Republican party these same leaders would count on our not trying to bolt again, and they know that the men who stood for the Chicago steal of 1912 can still be counted on to stand for anything. With men of that type to work with, the hope of reform from within the Republican party is not very alluring to Progressives. I should about as soon hope that by Joining the Socialist party we might convert it Into a 'safe and sane' party of progress as to expect to inoculate the Republican or-

; ganization with real Progressivism. Of j course, if the Republican party should I actually get rid of its reactionary

uudoo auu auupi a geuuiue progressive program, then it might be possible to talk about getting together. Cites 1907 Panic. "For the present our patch is clear. The recent election settled nothing unless it be the power of the big interests to starve our people into political submission once more. It has become almost a political superstition that the Republican party can insure prosperity in spite of the fact that the panic of 1907 came under Republican rule. This year the voters turned In desperation toward the Republicans just as sick people some times turn in desperation from reputable doctors to quacks. The election settled nothing except that business conditions are bad. The result represents no permanent policy, no constructive program. All the issues will be up again in 1916. The Democrats are still in power in Indiana and in congress. G. O. P. Loses Control. "In spite of their boasting, the Republicans are not in control and are not likely to get control, without the aid of the Progressives. The 100,000 who voted for Beveridge in 1914 still hold the balance of power. Business conditions are likely to be much better two years hence. The recrudescence of the Republican party is not necessarily permanent. Dying organizations often make a great show of getting well just before falling dead. In

a rich country like ours a permanent party can not be built on an empty stomach combined with political oppression and economic injustice. Many a game that seems lost in the second Inning is won in the ninth. This is only our second inning. We must continue our campaign of education. We must make the demand for popular government, 'permanent prosperity' and industrial Justice felt."
