PATH OF GOLD
By Amelia Josephine Burr.
A path of gold oh, build it quick and straight For mercy's feet to tread! There is no time to waiW v Each minute pulses red From Freedom's wounded heart. Make haste to do your part! Swift as they are, your gifts will be too late To help the dead. But there are those who live, whom you can spare '. A little of the agony they bear ; For you that's true; have you not thought how true? For you. . These, who have learned how much body and soul endure, . ; Their church-bells were as sweet as ours, Their gardens were aa glad with flowers, Their women were as pure. . Their children sang and laughed and played As merry and as unafraid O little heads bowed on the desks as though The lesson being hard, you fell asleep! We shudder and we weep but tears are cheap. More, more than tears must pay the debt we owe To those whose bleeding breasts have been our shield, A wall that will not yield. God knows this moment is too deep for hate. The hour is great, it calls us to be great. Our hand shall comfort him whom it must strike For wounded friend and wounded foe alike A path of gold ! Oh, build it quick and straight!

To persons still unconvinced of the high values of vacations, getting outdoors, making a break generally. , we commend careful study of the figures given by Dr. Victor Vaughn, retiring president of the American Medical Association, at its meeting at San Francisco last year., It appears that during the forty years which, as above noted, have been marked by the growth of the vacation habit, the average term of life among civilized man has increased approximately fifteen years. Civilized men, of course, are the only ones that take vacations. The added consideration that during that period life has grown all the time more worth living did not fall within the scope of the doctor's subject, but will readily occur to those of our readers who: make rational use of golf, tennis, walking, automobiles or other , recreation and exercise according to the taste and fancy of the user.' , '
HE FOUGHT HOLLWEG

McNally's Appointment r; -Members of the police. department and citizens cenerallv are well satisfied with the decis
ion of the board of police commissioners in selecting First Sergeant McNally as chief of police. McNally has len.with the department for about
nineteen years. He knows police work, is popu
lar with the officers, and has the confidence and
respect of the citizens. The board showed good judgment in promot
ing a man from the ranks instead of selecting a
civilian, ignorant of police work and methods The morale of a police department is greatly eri
hanced when executive positions are given to officers who know the work instead of civilians whose only claim to the job is political pull. The selection of McNally is a happy one. The promotions which were awarded to George Staubach and Roy Wenger meet with
Dr. Peter Spahn, leader of the Catholic Centre Party in Germany, and President of the Reichstag who was one of the foremost opponents of Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg. Friends To Raise
$75,000 For Unit
Friends - of . the Five Tears meet
ing are to raise $75,000 during the
year beginning July 1, for the work
of the Friends unit in France ana in
dications are that the money will be
raised.
The fund was pushed up to the mark
of $10,500 by money received Wednes
day, and contributions are coming in
at the rate of thirty or forty a day.
Play Ball
. When the umpire says these words, every
Dlavers knows that an athletic contest will be
gin. Every player is on his toes, eager for the struggle, ready to do his best. : The "play ball" ; signal . comes to every man. When a boy begins to learn a trade, the "play ball" signal calls on him to throw himself into his apprenticeship with all the vim anad energy at his command. "Play ball" sounds every time a man essays a job, every time he begins a new undertaking, every time he goes on the job in the morning. "Play ball" is a slogan that' all of us must keep before us always if we hope to succeed. It is the call to action, the incentive to new effort, the stabilizer and stimulus through life. When you find yourself unable to respond to that call, mark it well, you are ready for minors and for the cast-offs.

. Richmond, Ind., July 19, 1917. To the People of the City. Care of the Editor:
It la the understanding of the general public that the Common Council of the city are elected, by the people, to represent and express the opinion of the people, at the sessions of our city council and thereby vote for the benefit of. the general' public. It is the duty, of each and every councilman to investigate the opinion and tentiment of the ward from which he Is elected and the councilman at large, to look over affairs in general, and then to vote, the voice of the majority of the people in his location or district from which he comes. He. personally is not . supposed to have an opinion, unless it agrees with the majority of the people which he represents. If he does not act In the above manner it would be much better if we would dispense with our council and Just hold a mass meeting of the citizens each council meeting and let them express their own opinions and rote on the new ordinances as they are brought up for reading. What Is the use for the city attorney to spend his time and energy, in drawing up an ordinance, that is to be completely "butchered" before it Is passed? The common people of this city have no show what-so-ever as to the expression of what their wishes are or might be. The new market ordinance as drawn up by City Attorney Bond was first class in. every way, shape and form,
and he "stuck to the ship until it sank" but it did no good, he was not a member of council and his opinion had no force. Our marketmaster also was "for the people" but that had no weight. A petition of housewives with 322 signers, also urged the council to vote for the benefit of the general public and still nothing seemed to have any effect upon their "riddling" the best sections of the ordinance or cutting them out entirely. The grocer can still attend market and buy the best at a wholesale price and the public must take the "leavings" at the same or a higher price than that which the grocer will then
sell for. The wholesale aeaier or com-
mia.inn TnArrhant- and we have not a
real commission merchant in the town, can both wholesale to the retail dealer
and retail to the customer trom tne same stall. Now is this fair to the consumer? Any fair minded man or woman would know that it Is not and still you will put men in office to represent the community and vote for and help
enforce ordinances mat are uniair to
digestion
the people, who are the rea support of the city, If we did not have any worklngmen, we would not need any city for three-fourths of Richmond, is made up of the working class. And still the best points of an ordinance is thrown out because it is the opinion of 12 councilmen that it is not right. Women, you are going to get a vote this fall, if nothing happens to prevent now don't stick to paryism, vote for the man or woman who you are satisfied is going to work to the good of all concerned. Find your candidate, then see Just what his or her platform is and if it suits you and that candidate is finally elected, then see that he or. she sticks to that platform, if it is not acted upon in the right way and they are not fair to the general public, there are laws by which any man holding a public office can be impeached if he does not live up to his promises to the public that are within the limitations of the laws. Kindly think this all over. AN INTERESTED SPECTATOR AT THE LAST COUNCIL. MEETING.
