Liquor Law Violations in Richmond The Ministerial Alliance has appointed a committee to investigate alleged violations of the liquor law, including bootlegging, importation of liquor, and the selling of the product by so-called dry-saloons. Every law abiding citizen of Richmond favors and supports enforcement of the statute.

When the general assembly declared Indiana dry

by statutory legislation, the legislators voiced the opinion of the majority of the citizens of the Hoosier state. The people wanted the state to be "bone dry", and it should be kept dry.

Difficulties attend the enforcement of the law because of the proximity of the city to wet territory. Men who desire to import liquor can do

so with comparative ease because of the many highways leading into Indiana from Ohio cities.

The police department is handicapped because it cannot guard all the approaches to the city and search every automobile and vehicle that enters Richmond. Bootleggers know the patrolmen by Eight because of their uniform and naturally

evade them. To obtain convictions the police de

partment must have facts and not hearsay. It

has run down scores of rumors and watched many

men suspected either of importing liquor or of bootlegging. A large number of arrests and convictions are on the police records. If the liquor laws are violated in an open manner, conscientious citizens should assist the police department by obtaining the evidence, which in the very nature of the case, the patrolmen can-

The education of the boys under the supervision of the county agent will redound to the welfare of the whole county, for it will teach them correct principles of growing corn, and the schooling will remain with them so long as they till the soil. Not only will the farmers themselves be benefited, but the whole community will reap the harvest, for increased crops means a greater amount of money refeased into the trade channels of the county. Boys in all the townships of the county should enter the contest. Acreage devoted to this purpose will be as profitable as a course at school. A great future is in store for the farmer boys who early learn correct methods of agriculture and later apply them to the land which they will till.

New Form of City Government Richmond has taken a great interest in the proposed legislation to enable municipalities to adopt a commission or manager form of government in place of the present system. The Southard bill, pending in the general assembly, provides a method whereby cities may avail themselves of improved forms of city government. The measure has not received careful analysis by authorities on city government, but the general principle which would enable a city to adopt either the manager of commission form of government is sound in its basic features. Almost every progressive citizen will subscribe to the principle. Citizens should make a careful study not only of the Southard bill but also of the general principle of the new forms of municipal government. The day is rapidly approaching when a scientific administration of municipal affairs will be in order. Richmond should be ready to act intelligently on the legislation.

Moment It is not surprising that there should he a couple of army meat scandals in Europe. Without a few of those it wouldn't be a war. Away hack in history we find them. Didn't somebody ask, "Upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed that he hath grown so great?" Nobody could answer. They were auspicious of the meat even in those ancient days. What did the soldiers talk most about in our own Civil war? The war? No, the punk meat they had to eat. Some of them are talking about it yet. It isn't necessary to mention the Spanish war and the embalmed beef. The first thing to do In any war is to make arrangements for the meat scandal. The raising of the army la an after consideration.

We pause to wonder if the life and fire insurance business is bad. Yeara ago we used to get so many calendars at this time of year that we had to shovel a path to the desk and throw them out of the window. Nowadays, when we want to find out what date it is to put same on the top of this newspaper we have to send the office boy down to the postofflce. There are moments when we wish we had saved some of those calendars we threw away so recklessly. Waste not. want not. Ted Robinson informs us that his garbage man Is named M. T. McCann. We are wondering if he, by any possibility, can be related to the wellknown bartender, Prillip McCann.

ment is not fair if the citizens will not present proof of their claims and are not willing to cooperate. The Ministerial Alliance cannot be criticized for instituting an investigation through a committee. If citizens have absolute proof to substantiate rumors they should present it. Officials of the Anti-Saloon League, cognizant of loopholes in Indiana's bone dry law, have introduced measures in the general assembly to curb the evil. One of the most difficult features of the old lnw is an enforcement of the provision intended to keep liquor out of the state. The smuggling of whisky and wine into Indiana has become a profitable business in the last year. Men with automobiles made it a lucrative vocation to drive to the nearest Ohio city, load the automobile with liquor, and enter Indiana on back roads. If caught, the penalty usually was so light that it did not'deter the guilty one from continuing the business. Three or four trips,

and success in disposing of liquor bought in dry territory for $3 a quart and sold in Indiana for $7, netted the automobilist a handsome profit. The amendment to the law proposes the confiscation of vehicles used in transporting the liquor. Drastic measures, it must be admitted, are necessary to break- up the practice of smuggling liquor. When profits are big and penalties light, men will take long chances in importing interdicted goods. The proposed legislation would ba a powerful deterrent.

its surface. The church has voted that none of

its members shall profit by the venture. The entire income is devoted to Baptist institutions. More than $100,000 already has been distributed for Baptist church work. Few congregations in the United States are so fortunate as is this one, which numbers only twenty-nine members.. It is gratifying to note in this connection that the members did not try to cheat the Lord but are devoting the money to purposes that will redound to the welfare of mankind.

No Riches in the Presidency

From the- New York World.

HE estate of million dollars left by Theodore Roosevelt is a very moderate fortune by New York standards, but for a president one of unusual size.

It ranks Mr. Roosevelt indeed as probably the country's richest chief executive since Washington, and the fact has a suggestive interest. Many a ruler of a petty republic has become a multi-millionaire, but no millionaire has ever been president of the world's greatest and richest

republic, and this notwithstanding the altered scale of

personal wealth under which the comparative magnitude of an accumulation of 1 million dollars has decreased. The Roosevelt fortune was different, moreover, in

ueing mamiy- an mneruea roriune. its possessor may have added to it in his lifetime, but, as in the case of

other presidents, most of his personal earnings in a per

iod of forty years of public life were absorbed in the sup

port- of his family. No other president has ever enjoyed

such advantages of remunerative publicity as Mr. Roose-

j velt, and besides his salary from official positions his in

come from his books and from editorial work must have been large. Yet it is a fair inference that if these had

been the sole sources of his support he would have died a poor man, as Cleveland died and also most of their predecessors in the White House.

This has been the common financial fate of presidents and the example of Mr. Roosevelt probably merely proves the rule that the office of president Is not econ

omically productive in any logical proportion to its ex alted state and onerous political qualifications.
