FLUSHER TO WASH ALL PAVED STREETS

Insistent demands grom City Attorney Bond and other South A street property owners have induced th1 board of public works to place the city street flusher in operation again. So eager was Bond to have the machine put in use that he volunteered to drive it, when the board explained that the street department had been unable to hire a driver, giving this as reason why the flusher had not been In use this year. Orders were given that the machine should be placed in operation on the streets Monday and that it 6hould be operated a sufficient length of time to keep the streets thoroughly flushed working two shifts if necessary.All the paved streets will be washed.

OR, PURDY ARRIVES

Prof. Alexander C. Purdy and wife of Hartford, Conn., are in the city and are to be at home on Southwest A street.

He had previously taken the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. His Bachelor of Arts degree was taken at Penn College, Iowa. Mr. Purdy is recognized as one of the most scholarly men in the Friends Church in America, and a man of unusual talent as a public speaker and his coming will be a decided accension to Earlham College and to the city of Richmond.

CORN CROP

Continued From Page One. If it receives another rain in a few weeks, these farmers believe the crop will be a record breaker. According to a number of local corn Krowers last night's drenching shower just about insures "the making" of at least a large portion of the Wayne county crop. In some sections corn has matured to the stage that needs but little moisture from now on. Hagerstown Relieved. Clem Gaar and H. V. Thornburg, who returned last evening from a trip through the corn belt between Richmond and New Castle, said that only n drenching rain at once would save the bulk of the crop In those sections. This morning both Gaar and Thornburg were of the opinion that today's shower must havp been most welcome to the farmers in the western part of Wayne and the eastern sections of Henry counties. Farmers in the vicinity of Hagerstown were especially hard hit by the drought. Corn fields in Jefferson township were beginning to wilt and turn yellow from continued drought and excessive heat. Berry Crop Ruined. Stephen Kuth, one of the most prominent farmers east of Richmond, said today that the rain came too late to help the berry crop, which is short this season. k Where 23 crates were formerly 'picked, the yield will only , be about five crates. The rain also was too late to help the potato crop. Farmers expect only one-half of the yield of early potatoes, while many of them say the large ' potato crop is a failure. One farmer reported today that he obtained only a bucket of potatoes from hills which in other years would have yielded a bushel. Corn in the south and southwestern , parts of the county has suffered somewhat from the drought. It is thought, however, that with this morning's rain, which was reported heavy south of the city, the crop will pick up at once. In the opinion of Henry Tieman. Boston township, one more rain will insure a bumper crop for southern Wayne county farmers. Alleviates Fire Risk. This morning's heavy shower went a good way toward alleviating the fears of fanners, whose lands adjoin railroads. Field ftres in Wayne county ' ha ve been common during the past few days and in some instances were becoming a serious menace. A large field fire which has been raging along the Pennsylvania lines Juft west, of Hagerstown, was extinguished by the heavy shower this morning. Farmers living along the C. & O. line, both north and south of the city, have been troubled by field fires ignited by sparks from passing trains. Canada last year produced $3,491,000 worth of asbestos fiber.

ILIFF'S VIEW Of MEXICAN UPRISING

BY EDGAR ILIFF. Since 1824 Mexico has had more than fifty presidents. In thi3 time the country enjoyed thirty years of peace and the fruits of an able and wise adminsitratlon under the great master of statesmanship President Proferio Diaz. For thirty years this man of iron kept his people in the paths of law, order and honesty and made life and property secure everywhere. The story of his rise from poverty and obscurity to the mastership of one of the richest countries on the western continent reads like a dream. His presidential predecessor, Bennito Juarez, was an honest, incorruptible man of intense democratic ideals. But he dealt, with an ignorant people unable to govern themselves. He said that 'respect for the rights of others makes for peace." True, but he could not enforce his ideal. Diaz came to the presidency and said, "less politics and more administration." He made his people respect the rights of others at home and abroad. He defended with vigor the rights of others at home and abroad. He defended with vigor the rights of rich and poor. He defended property whether It was a peon's modest home or a ranchman's vast estates. He stood for order first, then law and justice. Mogan Causes Overthrow. The fall and over throw of Diaz was caused by the sowing of Socialist pamphlets in Mexico. Ricardo Flores Mogan had his headquarters in San Antonia, Texas; in St. Louis; and finally In Los Angeles, California. From these American cities he sent by post and afterward by hand a great flood of literature against Diaz and good government. These pamphlets denounced capital, stirred up hatred for the successful and well-to-do, preached confiscation of all property and the looting of the banks. This man Mogan was finally arrested in the United States and sent to prison. His crime was . that of conspiring to invade Mexico. It was discovered that thousands of poor Mexicans were sending him their pennies or pesos weekly to keep going this campaign against the government which protected them. The struggle of President Diaz with this form of Socialism is the saddest picture in his career. He was attacked with venom on every side by that most contemptible of all creatures in a republic, the demagogue. The republic of Mexico had adopted a constitution modeled after our own. Our government is not a pure democracy but a constitutionally limited representative government. So was Mexico. We have the three co-ordinate branches of government, legislative, judicial and executive, each balancing and cheking the other. Ours was the first attempt in the history of the world to found a republic based upon universal suffrage. Our fathers, as suspicious of the mob as they were of the tyranny of kings, provided certain constitutional emergency brakes. Such provisions or brakes were in the Mexican constitution as well. Peons are Influenced. The whole force of the Mexican demagogues attacked the constitution. They demanded the abolition of the supreme court, the sweeping away of the senate, the taking away of the veto power of the president, and the elimination of interest, rent and profit. Their demands appealed powerfully to the ignorant and poor peons of Mexico. Aided by the clamoring of the Socialists of the United States they overthrew Diaz, and the once peaceful and stable government of government of Mexico became a hell of anarchy, outlawry, plunder and assassination. The Mexican people were plunged into a class war, the most dreadful of all wars. Make war upon the rich and then who are the rich? Every man who has by his industry and thrift mounted to a place a little above the idle and the thriftless. Such is the history of class warfare. It is being preached by the organ of American Socialism. "The Appeal to Reason," that capitalism is the

cause of Mexico's present condition. Not so. Mexico had her troubles long before Diaz invited foreign capital to invest In her mines and oil fields. The cause of Mexico's present deplorable condition lies at the door of the propagandise! of American Socialism. It can be traced to the very doorstep of the destructive war upon capital waged by the "Appeal to Reason." This paper emblazons on its front page that the greatest curse to humanity is "rent, interest and profit." It advocates the destruction of the Supreme Court, the abolition of the United States Senate, the taking away of the president's veto, the confiscation of all capital and the giving up of the Monroe Doctrine. It is demanding that the whole power of government be lodged in "the people's assembly," the House of Representatives. The Socialists are advocating the elimination of all checks, balances and emergency brakes in our system of government. They are claiming that all the ills of life and all the wretchedness of our existence came from capitalism. That is the cry of the Mexican demagogue. That is just what these two great unhung demagogues, Carranza and Villa are practially carrying out. It is just the war that these two unshot enemies of the Mexican people are keeping up and they pull the wool over President Wilson's eyes by the Bryanistic hollow cry, "Shall the people rule?" Mexico a Bitter. Pill. For more than a hundred years the American government has found Mexico a bitter pill and a thorn in its side. Only under the government of Diaz did Mexico give us peace. During Andrew Jackson's administration the internal conditions of Mexico were so bad, such outrages were visited upon American citizens, that Jackson swore by the eternal geds that now once and for all he would settle the trouble by military force. Buchanan was so outraged by the killing of Americans that he wanted to intervene, but Buchanan, as weak and changeable a president as we ever had, with one very notable exception, adopted the "watchful waiting" policy while the killing went on. Lincoln inherited a world of woe from Buchanan; chief among the troubles were the Mexican outrages. As we would not protect our citizens in Mexico, England, Spain and France stepped in to protect their subjects. France landed 35,000 troops and set up Maxmillion as emperor of Mexico. From this procedure, Seward, our secretary of state, drove England and Spain away, and Grant's enforcement of the Monroe Doctrine compelled the French troops to go back to France, and Maximillion was arrested and shot. So fell the monarchy. The Monroe Doctrine :s a guarantee that the United States will never

favor the establishment of any foreign j

government upon the Western Continent. But for this doctrine Japan would long ago have invaded Mexico and she stands ready today and fully prepared to seize the territory whenever the opportunity offers. The Socialists are advocating the abandonment of this guarantee of liberty for all the people of the western continent. The "Appeal to Reason" charges that every American soldier who goes into Mexico stultifies himself by taking up the standard of capitalism. Every soldier is Pierpont Morgan's dog or Rockefeller's cur. In the mind of the 'Appeal to Reason" any attempt to defend ourselves or our sister republics is an unholy effort to back up capitalism. Despotism in all ages has depopulated the fairest countries of uncontrolled democracies, with no constitutional safe guards, is worse than the despotism of kings and dictators. Therefore, Montesquieu lays it down as a maxim that "lands are not cultivated in proportion to their fertility but in proportion to their freedom." I heard a negro socialist the other night. After adveating all the things 1 have above detailed he spoke of the "white slavery of us men." He spoke of the flag. He said it meant nothing to him. It's thirteen stripes stood for

the thirteen original colonies but it meant nothing to him. It's forty-eight stars stood for forty-eight states but it meant nothing to him. The colonies and the states were under capitalism and the flag stood for capitalism. The flag meant nothing to him but slavery nothing more. And a man in the crowd who had just been released from the penal farm where he was committeed for teaching his little daughter to steal coal, stepped up and shook both hands of the negro socialist and said, "You're whoopin right, pardner!" And as I looked at this man who had been bom of slave rarents and who stood before us a free American citizen by the virtue of that flag, I wondered what we were drifting to, and I thought that there is not an intelligent negro in this town who would endorse or listen to bis treasonable utterances. I fully

sympathize with every man, black or white, whose ambition is to better his condition, but for the destructive, disloyal and un-American alms, motives and utterances of the "Appeal to Reason" I have nothing but contempt. WTe are hearing much about "hyphenated citizens." A hyphenated American is an angel of light compared with those emasculated citizens who have neither Americanism in their blood nor law and order in their brains. To my socialistic friends I want to say with Marcus Aurelius that, "If any man can convince me and bring home to me that I do not think or act aright gladly with I change, for I reach after truth, by which man never yet was harmed. But he is harmed who abideth on still in his own deception and Ignorance."

HOW BLUFFTON HOPES TO BUILD HOSPITAL

TRASH UNDER BRIDGE ABLAZE.

Trash burning under the Main street bridge called the fire companies out at 7:30 o'clock last night. No damage resulted from the fire.

BLUFFTON, Ind., Aug. 4. This county has fallen in line with several , others in a proposal to build a county hospital under the recent act of the legislature. Under an agreement with Dr. J. E. Allport, thirty Bluffton citizens have signed a contract with him agreeing to pay $10 each into a $300 fund which is to be applied to defray preliminary expenses that Dr. Allport and his assistants may incur in the work. He will undertake to get 200 names on a petition to be presented to the board of county commissioners asking for an appropriation, and any further pay he may receive he undertakes to secure for himself by securing a contract from the commissioners to furnish plans and specifications for the hospital and to superintend the construction of the building.
