The Bright Side of Richmond ( Consider today the cheerful side of conditions in Richmond. : Every city, like an individual, has its troubles and worries, to which Richmond is no exception. It, too, has its faults, weaknesses and shortcomings, to which it confesses cheerfully, and withal meekly and humbly. ? Few individuals are habitually so base and corrupt that they must be segregated from soci- - ety and confined in prison. The good in the vast

majority -of 'men far outweighs the bad. If it were not so, every second man you met on the .street would be either a murder, thief, gangster or crookV( So also with cities. Seldom is a municipality, judged as a. whole, so steeped invice and criminality that all its good qualities are debased and all its nobler instincts and aspirations debouched. : Richmond has always been a good place in which fo live. Its past history is one of the cleanest contributions in the annals of Indiana. Itfr present condition is no disgrace to the founders of the communi to the people who have beeflVrlad to reside here for many years and to rear their f arailiesin its wholesome environment. ;t It ; indistinctly v a home city a place where good men and women are rearing their boys and girls to be mora and upstanding young men and women. . The. city congratulates itself on the high qualities of the fathers and mothers who reside here and Loo? the young men and women, who are a credit to the community where they are maturing Into its citizenship. ; Our young men and women the product of oufi homes," schools and municipal environment are: in demand in the state and elsewhere for their excellent character and ability to do things. Scored of them have been called to high positions elsewhere; scores of them occupy the highest peak of i their vocations; hundreds of them reflect daily in other cities the good training which they; received in their home town. They were taught the" principles of right thinking and right doing ,ih Richmond. Richmond has always had a public spirit that responded with great things when it was invoked. There are men and women still living in this coniniunity who know what the community did in the Civil war period. Hundreds are still living who' Jcnow, what was done to lay the foundation for bur religious, moral, social, musical, artistic, educational, industrial, commercial and financial life. Thousands know ,our record in the World war. "A Richmond,- in proportion to its size and wealth, stood second to no city in Indiana when the call went out to the sons and daughters of democracy to rally to the support of civilization. Some have tried to accuse this public spirit

and community consciousness of being dormant and asleep. ' They-are unacquainted with the -city and its history, with the glorious achievements of the past, and the present potency of public opinion in Richmond. , Richmond is a good city. It has no reason to blush for shame or to assume sackcloth and ashes as an indication of its remorse and regret over its sins. The public sentiment of this city is pure and noble. Our mothers, wives and daughters walk our streets by day and night without fear of insult or molestation. Our-boys and girls are not hurrying along the primrose path to perdition, but, guided and sustained by their parents, are following the straight road of moral excellence to future attainment of high aims and purposes. Our fathers and mothers, as a whole, look upon the training of their children as their highest function, as one of the prime, duties of the home. The bqst proof of this is the high moral conduct of the children themselves. There are exceptions, of course, but these are so few in comparison with the good children that it is ridiculous to draw the general inference that a very large percentage of our boys and girls are immoral.

Keep the Public Service Commission The movement to kill the Indiana public service commission should be throttled by public opinion before its backers succeed in getting a bill introduced in the general assembly. Enemies tf the commission have been zealously sowing the seeds of distrust throughout the state in the hope of arousing nough sentiment to demand the repeal of the law which gives that body power to handle the public service matters of Indiana. The law was enacted in 1913 after, a bitter fight. The commission has demonstrated in the last seven years its right to existence, and its rulings have squared with both justice and good policy. The commission is a body that hears petitions of both the utility companies and the municipalities in which the companies operate. It gives" both sides abundant opportunity to present arguments for their petitions and then hands down rulings that so far have tended to serve the best interests of the public and to conserve the utilities. Indiana is infinitely better off with a public service commission than it would be under the old regime, in which the utilities operated under franchises. It has not been so long ago we cannot remember the troubles which Indiana municipalities had with the utility companies under the franchise system. To abolish the commission or to impair its present usefulness by weakening the present law would be rank foolishness, for which the citizens of Indiana would soon pay in more ways than one. The record of the commission is an excellent one. No charges of a sinister nature have ever been preferred against it. It has sought to execute the purpose for which it was called into being. To eliminate it now, when utilities of all kinds are in the throes of readjustment, would be a serious blow to the people of Indiana.

Memories of Old Days v In This Paper Ten Years Age Today

The race for the Republican nomina

tion for county treasurer was one ofi

the most streunous ever started in which this important office is involved.

A new feature was introduced inj

Earlham college known as the "Senior Advisor" plan. This plan was known as the Harvard plan and had been introduced, in all the larger schools in the east The plan was to put all freshmen in charge of a senior who advised them in their course of study. Manager Bailey of the Home Telephone company, announced that the telephone rates probably would.be increased three dollars a year in the near future. "

Dinner Stories

"I am trying to find my brother," said the Englishman timidly to the fierce-looking person with a sheath knife on one side of his belt and a six-shooter on the other. "He vas in this neighborhood about four years ago. His name was Dobblnstou." "Dobbin3ton kind of goody, goody chap?" "Yes, that's the man." "Guess I know him. He committed suicide three years ago." "What! My brother committed suicide? Was he ill or in trouble, or what?" "He called me a liar, stranger." Krank'Kipp was showing a stranger from San Francisco around the city in his high-powared car, and when pointing out-ihe Auditorium, Frank said: "That's our big Auditorium, and Joe Grieb built the whole thing in sii months." "That's nothing," said the stranger from San Francisco, "we built a bigger one in three months." Then Frank drove him out and they passed the beautiful water tower next to General Otto Falk's house. The stranger said: "What's that?" ' I don't know," said Frank. "That wasn't here day before yesterday."

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

Unce Sam's latest contribution to peace is a battle cruiser 854 feet long and with twelve sixteen-inch guns. The winter resorts announce a record-breaking business. Sing Sing is full to overflowing, and many of the guests are being sent to other hotels. A financier figures that the world owes $300,000,000,000 and is ready to pay at least the 00,000,000,000. Maurice Joy, editorial writer, was the victim of a very embarrassing incident last week. The maid at his home, when asked what she would like for her birthday, responded that her dearest wish was to receive a Bible. Maurice was stumped. He didn't know where to buy one. He consulted the city directory and the telephone bock and asked every one a bright idea, which does come to editorial writers once or twice a year, all reports to the contrary notwithstanding, he wnt nd took a room at an up-lown hotel for a night, and the next day being her birthday, he presented the maid with a fine Gideon Bible. Count Boni de Castellane, who married Anna Gould twenty-five years ago, is now designing gowns in Paris. We wondered why they were so racy lately. Great is science. A scientist has just discovered that a pound of Swiss cheese weighs a pound whether the holes in it are large or small.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up". 7 FEW PEOPLE "GET" ANYONE . ; -v I received a letter the other day from one of the reader of thea Talks. He felt that no one ever "got" him In other words, understood him. . . Well, he is In big company! A human being Is hard' to understand. There are so many modifications to us all. OurNcharacteristlcs are a great deal the same, but the great God put strange working hearts into us. . Jesus lived tor about forty years on this earth and went about, doing good in the freest manner. Yet few understood Him. And fin ally a few put Him to death. - In loneliness must we often search for understanding. But we must not brood. We must think-r-and accept and in -service render back to the world great good tor Its misunderstandings and misjudgements. The eternal law of compensation is always at work! ' In nature there is little jealousy. The natural law works there pretty much in harmony. I passed by a tree the other evening, and In it were huddled hundreds of little birds. So striking was the sight that crowds of people stopped and looked as they passed along thebusy street. I couldn't help but think! of the beauty of the sight each bird evidently happy at the presence of the others. Let us try not to become isolated. Let us mix. And let us try not to be too critical of others' faults. Let us remember that we, too, have a goodly supply of them. Maybe if we take extra pains to "get" other people, they in turn wIU try to "get" us!

VENTURES IN COMMON SENSE

By ED HOWE When I am on my death bed, I shall feel gratitude for many favors. My life has not been satisfactory, but I know I have been favored a thousand times. I have always bad abundant opportunity to do better than I have done; my failure Is my own fault, not the world's. In the main, the people have been as just with me as I have been with them. I have been compelled to watch them; they have been compelled to watch me. The closer I have been watched, the better I have behaved. And you've had the same history. In spite of the curse of life, I have much in it to admire. Most assuredly I have never lacked opportunity. There has never been any discrimination against me. And something luck, nature, God has-saved me from a thousand beatings when I deserved them.

It i time to take - an Inventory of the facts." , Must Build. v ' "Building must go on if lumber is

in building. Building must be stabilized. Lumber prices are below cost of production just now. They were carried away beyond all reason of speculation and pyramiding of values some time back. The fetock market was away up some time back. Now it's down. People are buying stocks now because they get their money's worth." Mr. Hlnes said the lumber dealers should take stock of their business, including labor and living costs and wages paid, together with the consideration of work with reasonable reduction from the present wage scales, rather than high wages and periods of idleness. According to Mr. Hines, after activities are begun, prices will be

j determined by supply and demand.

Most of the talk about helping the under dog is sentiment; the under dog does not actually receive much help.

All of us receive much kindness and appreciation for every vicious attempt to do us harm. Very many of us are tiresome; we talk too much; many are slow about paying their bills; probably all give themselves the best of It in small things, and a few of us do as well as we might. We are gossipy, and tell white lies; we haven't as much sense and thrift as we should have, "but I have never in my life been robbed by a real thief. I have been wronged in little ways frequently, but could have avoided most of that had I been careful. A just criticism of people is that they are guilty of many little follies
