Good Roads in Wayne County The annual report of W. 0. Jones, county superintendent of highways, reflects the hard study which this official has given to the important problem of highway" construction and maintenance. Jones is an official who does not wait for new theories to come to him but goes out himself and studies improved methods, the result being that Wayne county has as fine a road system as can be found in Indiana. Jones stays ahead of his job. Every road in Wayne county has been overhauled by him in the last year. More than 1400 men have been given employment making repairs on the highways near their farms and homes. In this respect, Jones has the good will of the farmers. A farmer takes great interest in roads, for they are the only channels he has to bring his products to the market. He knows when a road man is doing his work or whether he is neglecting it. The almost unanimous approval which the farmers of Wayne county have accorded the methods and system of Jones prove that they appreciate his work. A good county official nowdays must study. He cannot loaf on the job. Jones believes his work is a duty which he must perform to the best of his ability. His annual report indicates the ex

tent to which he has carried out his trust.

merchants and laborers each eight per cent; all other vocations twenty per cent. Editors and newspaper men are not mentioned in the tabulation. - : Very little satisfaction can be drawn from a discussion of the facts revealed by the table, for it makes no difference after all from what walks of life preachers come from, the" essential thing being that they serve Christ as true ministers and that they see in every fellow man a brother of Christ.

Saving an Hour a Day "av3 a Daylight Hour!" This is the slogan of a movement that is sweeping over the country. Why not? ; An hour saved by moving the hand of the clock forward sixty, minutes means quitting your work an hour earlier and having more leisure during that part of the day when sun is shining. If the whole city would move forward the hands of the clocks one hour at midnight, work in all the factories and stores would begin one hour earlier and end one hour earlier. Instead of getting home at 6 o'clock as you do now, you would go home at 5 o'clock, although the clock would be pointing to 6 o'clock. The additional time would give you daylight to do garden work, read a book, or to dress and take in a movie. All the belligerent nations of Europe have adopted the plan. They are doing it out of a sense of economy. We would be doing it to gain more time for recreation and amusement or for such work that we cared to do around our homes. We hope the city council takes kindly to the idea of Councilman Handley and approves of the j

measure.

Where Preachers Come From An investigation made by the Association of American Colleges tells where preachers come from. The results follow :

Thirty-three per cent come from the homes

of farmers; eighteen per cent from the homes of preachers; physicians two per cent; clerical workers four per cent; carpenters five per cent;

Attracting Factories Under this caption the Indianapolis News in a recent editorial points out some of the dangers that attend the giving of a bonus to obtain factories. The advisory committee of the Chamber of Commerce of Indianapolis has reported adversely on the proposition of offering bonuses to factories. Richmond recently has departed from its old theory of refusing financial inducements to factories and now has a $100,000 industrial fund available to obtain new concerns. The editorial utterance of the News may be heeded here to prevent hasty offering of money and to induce a careful consideration of eyery project that asks for monetary assistance. The editorial follows: The advisory committee of the Chamber of Commerce has instructed its committee on industrial development to submit to the directors a report showing that the committee is opposed to inflating city development by offering bonuses to factories. The committee indorsed the views of William Fortune, who holds that Indianapolis has learned by experience that many factories brought to the city by bonuses can not stand up under financial strains which they should be strong enough to survive; that the plan is unbusinesslike, and that it is better for a city to devote its energy and attention to building up its normal industrial and commercial life than to inducing weak concerns to enter and increase its problems. ...

Fundamentally the question is : Does it pay to

get new factories by offering money, buildings, sites or other valuable considerations? Mr. For

tune thinks that it does not pay. Many cities have proved to their satisfaction that it does not pay. The proof has cost some of them a great deal of money. Others, of course, have won and are for the plan. They have been fortunate in securing factories which would have done well even without a bonus. Thus it is apparent that there is a large element of chance in any factory booming, campaign which does much more than advertise the advantages of the city. In the case of Indianapolis, this should be enough. The city can distribute its bonuses among a large number of prospective factories by making Indianapolis a good town to live and work in. The bonus system of attracting factories has a tendency to attract a class of manufacturers who move, not to obtain better markets, better shipping facilities, or better labor conditions, but to get the bonus. In many cases these factories are about ready to fail. A bonus will give them a new lease on life and another chance to make money. Cases have been known where the main profits from such transactions have gone to

brokers instead of to the city or factory. These considerations justify any organization of citi

zens in proceeding with the greatest caution in going farther than to set forth the superior advantages of the city as a railroad, trading and industrial center. The bonus system is wholly vicious.

Editor Palladium. Deur Sir There seems to be some doubt in the minds of many of our citizens regarding the attitude of Prosecuting Attorney Strayer to the clubs and lodges that have bars attached to them. These doubts have arisen through the statement that appeared in your paper dated Jan. 2, 1917, on the retirement of Mr. Wm. W. Reller. Your paper Quotes Mr. Keller as saying to these clubs and lodges: "You are operating in violation of the law; you are continuing custom at the sufferance of the officials in office, and hope you will not make it hard for them by taking undue advantage of the privilege." Mr. Keller continuing tays: "I am leaving office, but I presume there will be no change. I have looked upon clubs as your down tow n homes, as long as we have a 'wet' city." To the above your paper quotes Mr. Strayer as 3aying: "That he will take Mr. Reller's viewpoint, and regard clubs as the down town homes of members as long as they do not indulge excessively, but I will prosecute to the limit, if I have to." The facts stated seem to mo to be these: That tho clubs and lodges of this city that have intoxicants served "are operating in violation of the law," and both Mr. Reller and Mr. Strayer '"take the same view," yet, because both regard these clubs and lodges "as the down town homes" of the men connected with them, prose

cution has been withheld, and will be withheld "as long as they do not indulge excessively." Does it not appear as a case of "have to" prosecute even supposing these clubs and lodges are the down town homes of their members? Violation of a law Is none the lees a violation because it is committed in a club or private home la a "down town" home or an "up town" home. The hue and cry 'of the better element of this city la "Away with the

! saloon." Why? Simply because of

the terrible effects of the liquor traffic on its victims and the morality of our city. Yet, saloons are operating under a license granted them to sell liquor, while here are institutions that are serving liquor to their membership "in open violation of the law,"

law by the present prosecutor and his predecessor. The question being asked is this: "Why this discrimination?" This

J thought lies embedded in the minds

of many, and will have a serious tendency of many withholding their endorsement of the energetic efforts of Mr Strayer in combating other evils that threaten our fair name. It has the appearance of favoring the well-to-do in their clubs and lodges, and pressing the heel of the law dowp on those less fortunate. Yet, this is the interpretation that many are placing upon the action. Without a shadow of a doubt Mr.

Strayer's fearlessness and courage in handling other evils has the endorsement cf the citizens of Richmond and is worthy of the highest commendation. Hence to leave the slightest doubt in the minds of the public that while a violation of the law is "winked" at in some quarters, and severely dealt with in another, is not calculated to surround him with that confidence and support he deserves. If these clubs and lodges are not violating the law, the public should know it. If they are, they should he dealt with as violators of the law, and either punished for it, or put out of business should they continue to practice this violation in face of the law. Respectfully yours, THOMAS H. ADAMS, Minister, Central Christian Church.
