CITY TO REFUSE EXCESSIVE HELP ON ALL STREETS i ,
! Official Predicts Future Pol-
icy Where Public Funds Meet Only Cost of Intersections as Law Requires.
Pronertv owners had better accept

Improvement to Btreeu while the city is willing to bear more of the expense
than is required by law.
One city official predicted today
that the time would soon come when
public funds would be used only to
meet the cost of Intersections.
Whether this condition would arise during the present administration or
net he could not ssay.
For several years officials-have
been following a precedent establish
ed, presumably to encourage street improvement. Instead of shouldering the entire cost, minui intersections, on the property owners the city has declared in each instance that the
property owners were not benefited
to the amount of the improvements's cost to them and has appropriated funds to meet the difference. The
amount of the city's expense in each case has ben approximately what it
would have cost to improve the already existing macadam streets. He reiterated the statement that
Richmond was one of the most back
ward cities in the state so far as street improvements are concerned. Nearly
all of the smaller cities have more and better improved streets than Richmond. This, he said, could be easily explained if Richmond were not a modern and prosperous city in other
respects. He declared that other cities follow the law strictly, paying only for in
tersections. He said this city's un
usual concessions should prove an incentive for a progressive campaign of
street improvement all the time.

CAMBRIDGE CITY, Ind.. July 19. An unusually large cherry crop baa been harvested in Western Wayne county. The apple crop promises to exceed any of recent years, while there will be an ordinary yield of pears and plums. The peaches are a failure. The recent heavy rains have somewhat dmaged the berry crop. The supply, however, will be equal to the demand. 1
PEACE ADVOCATES
Continued From Page One tad Hague Conferences, Hasue Tribunals and Hague Conventions ; we have had great peace meetings and passed thousands of resolutions condemning war; we have written and lectured and preached and talked peace continually. We have offered prizes and awarded medals in behalf of peace. The world has been deluged with tracts and treatises on brotherly love and the universal federation of man. And yet within the compass of these fifteen years of peace propaganda we have had eight warsthe Boer war; the Russo-Japanese war, the Italo-Turkish war; the French war in Morocco; two Balkan wars, the the Civil war in Mexico and the stupendous conflict now deluging Europe and affecting every people and nation on earth. Are we still barbarians, veneered with what we call civilization? "But war today seems to be epidemic, both contagious and infectious. So widespread and sweeping is this grim-visaged monster that we Americans are hourly dreading that we may become involved. If we are drawn Into the maelstrom it will not be because we want, invite or provoke war. If we are caught by the conagion and infection our peace resolutions will be of no more avail than resolutions on health passed in the midst of a cholera or plague epidemic. "The greatest triumphs of modern medical science have been in the field of prevention of diseases. War slays its thousands but peace its ten thousands. Modern science has made war upon the great armies of contagious and infectious maladies. Thus peace may have her victories no less renowned than war and there are heroes of the miscroscope as well as of the sword. In medical . science these great victories have not been accomplished by speech-making or the passing of resolutions but by patient and heroic work and by following the light of experimental knowledge. Must Prevent War. "Now if the medical scientist has labored to prevent disease, so the ttatesman must work to prevent war. The great German General Von Moltke said, "Today the question is not so much whether a nation is strong enough to make war as whether its government is powerful enough to prevent war." The causes of war must be studied just as the great pioneers in disease-prevention have studied the causes of human waste and destruction. To stop the recurrence of disease the scientist wages war. Prevention of an evil means destruction of the cause. What causes war? There men divide. Some say preparation for war causes war. r Others say that lack of preparation incites war by the encroachments of the strong upon the defenseless. "This peace meeting is not for the

condemnation of any of the belligerents in this . war now raging in Europe. Perhaps this war is an economic one, growing ' out 'of commercial expansion and modern industrial conditions. We may live to see great changes in our present economic structure. Before the echo of the last gun has ceased to vibrate we may see the dawn of a new era. Let us hope so. And let us during this bloody contest have a heart of compassion and a tear of pity for the common soldier under every flag the common humanity that carries this great and awful burden of woe." U; Nicholson's Speech. The misconceptions of war were pointed out by Vincent Nicholson in bis speech on. "Peace." Mr. Nicholson a son of S. E. Nicholson, editor of the American Friend and is a Btudent in the law school of Harvard university. Following is a part of his address: "The basic causes of all war and all preparation for war are certain, false ideas concerning international relations existing in the minds of men. All plans for world peace must necessarily fail until men begin to think straight upon some of these simple but fundamental questions. : 'The last century has witnessed greater achievements of human cooperation and brotherhood than the whole of preceding histosy. In the light of these achievements of co-operation, a visitor from another planet would suppose that every nation would be rapidly relegating the philosophy of militarism to the same scrap heap where have gone slavery, piracy, religious persecution and every other relic of midiaeval barbarism. Because war deliberately plans the ruthless destruction of myriads of living men. "Yet last year this nation of ours at peace with all the world spent -70

ana everyooay deplored. Thus it was but natural that that which was prepared for final! v camp thn roanine- nf
the harvest that had been sown, the
mevitaDie process of cause leading to effect. "The time has come for these millions to think straight upon the question. The first false conception lying back of war is that a nation's economic, prosperity is dependent upon its military power. It used to be that one nation could obtain economic advantage by conquest. "Neither is it true that mere political control of territory gives the slightest economic advantage. If that were true, the smallest nations would be the poorest, wherein exactly the opposite is true. Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Belgium and Switzerland all have a greater per capita wealth and aless tax rate than any of the larger powers, and their government bonds
are quoted from 1 per cent to 20 per cent higher. "Another false conception is. that a nation's moral possessions honor, influence, etc. can be maintained . by military power. In most civilized nations men have abandoned the idea that a man's individual honor must be defended at the sword's point the duel has become murder."Another false conception is that of social fatalism which says that human nature never changes and men will always fight. Religious persecution, that caused two Quakers to be hung on Boston Commons, is gone forever. The soldiers in the opposing trenches in Flanders do not naturally hate each other. They are simply in the irresistible grip of the iron fist of militarism, the cat's paws of being to pull the chestnuts of advantage from the red fires of slaughter." Timothy Nicholson urged that the people stand behind President Wilson in his endeavos to maintain the neutrality of the United States. Rev. Kenworthy pointed out that the
European war Ijas proved that questions of national honor cannot be arbitrated unless . world supreme court has been established to have sole power in deciding differences of this kind. That we should exercise every Influence at our command to assist President Wilscai, was declared necessary by Alfred 'Bavisv The other speakers, Pettis A. Reld, Rev. Murray, tee Summerson, Rev. Conrad Huber, Rev. Motley and Miss Kate Smelser, t.ll spoke in a general way on the waa.' Each endorsed the purposes of the "Peace" meeting.
