The Civic Vision.

Every city dreams a dream of the future that

Is bright and happy. It is as impossible for civic

aspiration to be retrogressive as it is for the river to flow uphill. The civic vision is more than a hope and expectation, however, since it involves endeavor and action. Communities, in very fact, are based upon the progressive principle of looking forward to better and greater things. Even dissatisfaction is but an evidence of this desire and the despised "knocker" is inspired by a civic ideal and is only at work in the wrong and disastrous manner. This civic vision is prompting Richmond, but back of the ideal must be workers and workers

require leaders and leaders beget organization.

Co-operation is essential on the part of the city's

men and women inspired by civic pride and com

munity consciousness and devoted to make the

dream of civic improvement come true.

Co-operation of this sort can best be given ex

pression by means of a civic association concerned with putting the city right with humanity and

with enlarging the public service rendered to the public. This organization should work in close touch with the Commercial club and might be either a part of that body or independent in formation. It would admit women to membership and secure much assistance from them. The co-operation of the two organizations is imperative for the reason that all forces working

for Greater Richmond should work together, while business and civic improvement go hand in hand, each aiding the other. Next to being a

busy, prosperous city, is being a clean one. There are streets, shade trees, health, social centers, play grounds, parks, sewers, better housing, vacant lot gardens and other problems of happier and better living, all of which need attention and the uniting of all forces interested in these improvements in a civic association can be of unlimited aid to the business men's organization in helping to make Richmond's dreams of the civic ideal come true. Civic conscience is striving for an outlet in this city and it should be encouraged and promoted through such an association.

Editor Palladium: So many of us seem to be uncertain as to what is the cause of the European war and what they are fighting about. I wish to make a statement relative to the cause of that war, and in making it an invitation to criticism is given. The cause is capitalism the private ownership of the means of life based

on competition. I When a mother prepares the dinner t for the family, a just father and moth-'

r representing the government, sees to it that co-operation instead of competition is the system of distribution. The most competitive at the table is the most ill mannered and the most co-operative has the best manners. Now what is practical in the home the communism of parents and chilrlren goes to smash out in the industrial world, among the Christian nations, under the Fatherhood of God and the nrotherhood of Man. There lives in a certain neighborhood, among others. Mr. Britain, Mr. Gaul, Mr. Teuton, Mr. Slav, Mr. Aus

tria, and old man Turkey. They all j have large families. At meal time each j of these gentlemen take (taxes) what i will satisfy his appetite, and the chil- j iren go to it. They operate under a

system of private ownership of grub, based on competition. Naturally the larger, stronger and more unscrupulous children fair better than the smaller, weaker and more brotherly. "The

big kids" grab everything in sight right before the eyes of the smaller, j weaker and more brotherly. Every-1

thing of value is appropriated in the i srab. j It so happens. In the great game, that the little brothers, not ahle to compete with the big boys, do not get enough to satisfy them and become hungry between "times"; but the big boys have a "surplus." With bits of this surplus, the big boys enjoy variiniR services from the little brothers and sisters, such as being hauled in little wagons, pushed In wheelbarrows, and various other luxuries and amusements. Sometimes, one of the little fellows relieves his mind of a desire, an ideal, Miaf ail might have a square meal. It so hHppens, generally, one of his brothers, intellectually and physically with his bare toes protruding from his shoes and the end of his shirt hanging out partly concealing that part of his trousers worn by the kicks of his brotherly big brothers, bawls out the little fellow by saying: "Ah, you are one of those who want to divido up. Yon would destroy our religion and break up our home:'' The bigger boys so solicitous as to what the little fellow should think, for the little? fellows good to be sure, puiehaso with pie and cake intellectual service to combat such ideas. This is a sample of the logic of the intellectual junk that is bought and sold: The family is the unit of modem society, anything that tends to destroy

the home, deteriorates the family and modern civilization is destroyed." We admit that the simple communism of parents and children la the home Is the only rational method of rearing a family and developing character, but such pernicious Ideas and Ideals should not get abroad. In the animal kingdom, under the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood ef Man, Seme of the little children Invented machines to assist in getting feed, These, the big kids appropriated and organised the little fellows into (cor-1 porations) food grabbing squads. Thi3 brought about a change. Instead of in- j dividual, competative grabbing, they j had group collective (corporation) ! grabbing. The latter method was for j better: food could be taken more eas-l ily and more abundantly. It did not so materially and securely benefit the little brothers; as It diminished the number of beneficiaries and to the remainder left a far greRter "surplti " Because ef this "surplus" this flood ef uneonsumed abundance the vultures perehed upon the bridge of war. The big boys not satisfied with grabbing off their respective father's tables, got to grabbing (foreign trade) off their neighbor's tables. Each family retaliated by charging admissions (tariffs, etc. etc.) and grabbing (trade) agreements. It was in the undeveloped countries when the children of th different families really bumped heads. Material interests of Teuton

child clashed with the progeny of Mr. Britain, etc. etc. etc. It was this clashing of material Interests of the big kids of these families In the world's markets, endeavoring to realise on the surplus, taken from the little kids at home, that put the chips on the parents' shoulders. One of these chips was Jarred off the shoulder of Mr. Austria and hell broke loose. Capitalism, the private ownership of the means of life based on competition, created in the hands of a few a tremendous surplus, surplus necessitated foreign markets, markets made war inevitable, therefore capitalism Is the cause of the war.

EATON MAY BUY MOTOR FIRE TRUCK EATON, O.. Dec. 11. The matter of the purchase of a motor fire truck Is receiving the attention of the city council. One of the horse used to the hose wagon of the fire department has been sick and unable for service, and another has been furnished temporarily. Some time ago council made an appropriation for the purchase of a new team, but no action was taken.

New Treatment for Bronchitis Asthma, Catarrh and Head Colds

In the land of peace, joy and plenty, the home of the brave and the free, where the children consume and utilize the "surplus" nullifying the necessity for foreign markets thereby war where there is no West Virginia, Michigan, Colorado or Arizona, the children are so beloved and fraternally loving that Uncle Sam with a sense of humor never surpassed, appoints inspectors and pure food artists to see that his children benevolently refrain from poisoning each other.

Repectfully yours, j R. F. VAN VOORHIS. j MANY DISORDERS COME ! FROM THE LIVER' Are You Just at Odds With Yourself?: Do You Regulate Living? Are you sometimes at odds with ; your self and with the world? Do you wonder what ails you? True you may be eating regularly and sleeping well.

Yet something is the matter! Constipation, Headache, Nervousness and Bilious spells indicate a Sluggish Liver. The tried remedy is Dr. King's New Life Pills. Only 25c at your Druggist. Bucklen's Arnica Salve for Skin Eruptions. adv.

Vlck's Vap-O-Rub Croup and Pneumonia Salve Relieves by Inhalation and Absorption. No Dosing. When Vick's "Vap-O-Rub" Croup and Pneumonia Salve is applied externally, the body warmth releases vapors of Pine Tar, Camphor, Thymol, Menthol and Eucalyptol. These vapors are inhaled direct to the hungs and air passages where internal medicine can not go. They loosen the phlegm, open the air passages and stimulate the mucous membrane to throw off the disease germs. For catarrh and head colds melt a little in a spoon and inhale the vapors, also apply well us the nostrils. For asthma and hay fever follow the instructions given above and also rub Vick's well over the spinal column, thus relaxing the nervous tension. Vick's is not a "cure" for these diseases, but it has

at least the merit of containing no harmful habit-forming drugs, and it is sold by all druggists on thirty days' trial. If it fails to relieve your case, the purchase price will be immediately refunded. For sore throat, tonsilitis, deep colds, and bronchial troubles, apply hot wet towels over the chest and throat to open the pores of the skin. Then rub Vick's well in and covei' with a warm flannel cloth. The next morning the phlegm is loosened, head is clear, and, in addition, the absorption of Vick's through the skin has taken out that tightness and soreness. Three sizes from 25c up.
