THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM ; AND SUN-TELEGRAM

Published Every Evening Except Sunday by Palladium Printing Co.

Palladium Building, North Ninth and Sailor Streets. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Indiana, as Second-Class Mail Matter. MEMBER OP THB ASSOCIATED PRESS The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to It or oot otherwise credited In this paper, and also the local news published herein. Al! rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. Zimmerman's Opposition to Home Rule Mayor Zimmerman's efforts to defeat the home rule bill will not get far, if it gets under way at all. The voters want the optional right to determine whether the majority of the citizens of Richmond are satisfied with the municipal govecnment they have had in recent years. His statement Monday furnishes the best proof possible for the charge of the friends of home rule that the present system leaves the people at the mercy of the politicians. No political boss wants home rule. He wants the right to reward friends with jobs and. to punish enemies by discharging them, something that cannot be done under a commission or managerial form of city government, in which fitness to perform duties is the only test. The scores of citizens who will appear at the public hearing next Thursday night will be prepared to show conclusively that a change in the form of municipal government is as badly needed as it is devoutly hoped for. The average voter knows that even a commission or managerial form of government may fail and that it may be unable to perform at the highest point of efficiency at all times, but he also knows that few cities which have adopted it are wUling to abandon it for the wasteful political system of the old regime. The weaknesses of home rule are infinitely fewer than those of the political system. Many of the members of the general assembly have had experience with the present system and have been instructed by their constituents to vote for the Knapp measure, which will give the cities the right to choose if they want to make a change. If the mayor makes a canvass of Richmond he also will discover that the voters are willing to take chances with the new system, tired as most of them are of the present regime.

Stay Off the Railroad Tracks The death of two strangers who were walking along the Pennsylvania railroad's right of way

near Centerville emphasizes the danger of trespassing on railroad tracks. Many of the accidental deaths on railroad tracks are due to the carelessness and negligence of persons who use the tracks as short cuts or as highways. A railroad track always is potentially dangerous to a pedestrian. Tracks are the paths of trains and are not designed for pedestrian purposes. The pedestrian has no right to walk on the railroad's property, and if he is injured or killed has no one to blame but himself. . Many railroads, realizing that the public is lax in its regard for. personal safety, have carried on intensive campaigns of warning. They have erected signs telling pedestrians of the danger of walking on the tracks. They have published figures showing the large number of persons who have lost their lives or have been permanently disabled by ignoring the warning, and yet thousands of persons daily make a sidewalk out of the tracks and needlessly jeopardiap their lives. Appalled at the number of automobile accidents on crossings, the Pennsylvania company, for instance, has instructed its crossing flagmen to take the numbers of automobiles whose drivers rush across the tracks without looking to see if a train is approaching. Then cards are mailed to violators of one of the first rules of safety. A human life is regarded as a priceless possession, but sometimes we wonder if many persons really place any value on their lives.

Answers to Questions

Another Good Road Record Wayne county boasts of many qualifications that recommend it as an ideal place in which to live. Diversification of industry, splendid farm land and good marketing centers, a good school system and an excellent college, sound financial institutions, and scores of factors that are considered as vital in the appraisement of a community. We have known for some time that our road system is superb. Motorists from many states have complimented the county on its splendid system. Now comes the compliment that Wayne county's road system ranks third in the United States, and that 15 miles of continuous concrete surface on the National road is the longest single stretch in Indiana. Theories of road construction and maintenance have held an advanced position in this county for a number of years, owing, perhaps, to the good judgment and diligence of County Superintendent Jones. The distinction of Wayne county, acquired by its splendid system, is a compliment to his work-and ideas.

It does not require a high order of brains to carry and hold a colored staff for others to sight at through the theodolite, and some men stay in the occupation of acting as a. lay figure for years. To Samuel Rea appeared the possibilities of the great railroad system, and out of the engineering department of the Pennsylvania he proceeded by steady strides to the head of the entire corporation. He was for a time in the employ of the Baltimore and Ohio, but it did not take the Pennsylvania long to realize that he was too valuable to be away from the organization which initiated him.

Who's Who in the Day's News

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take

It"

keep CARRYING ON The happy human being is the one who wakes up in the morning with something on his mind to do! Life isn't half as much a creative proposition as a carrying on one. A relay race always impresses me. One runner does his best to the very limit of his strength and endurance and then he touches the fresh man who takes his place and does his part to win the race. And every one of us wins his race if he does his best with his part of the program. Keep carrying on! If any of us does less than his best, someone later on is going to have to do a lot of straining to even up. So let us each carry our task with even enthusiasm and fair endurance. Then the one who comes along to take our place will go ahead with finer satisfaction and surer speed. That nation is greatest that most nearly expresses the ideals of its earnest founders. It is much easier for us to carry on than it was for those who preceded us for we have the product of all their experiences for our example. As we work, let us do so in the spirit of the larger good. Let us build well and with conscientious regard for those who follow. And let us do our best so to shape our work that we shall produce something worth carrying on!

successful quest for a king.

Some time before leaving, the Albanian minister told an American newspaperman that Albania, after its previous unhappy experience with kings, would have to be rather careful in this matter of choosing its rulers. "We should prefer an Anglo Saxon," he said, "and especially an American. But you have no royalty. It is a great pity." So! No American royalty? How came you by that misinformation, Mr. Albanian Minister? Is it possible you haven't heard of Eddie Meyers, of Pierce county, Nebraska, U. S. A? Eddie Meyers calls himself "just a plain plug blacksmith" but talk about your royalty! He's got as good blood coursing through his vein. as was ever pumped by the heart of any of the old world's most stiff-necked grandees. Eddie Meyers starts work early each morning, stops at noon for lunch, and is at it again at 1 till 6 o'clock in the evening. Title? He comes of stock that Europe's bluest blue-bloods cannot possibly outrank he is a Grand Knight of the Order of God Health and Decency. And there isn't an heiress on the face of the earth rich enough to buy either his stomach or his honor. Each twilight of each day sees something good Eddie has accomplished, and every piece of work he turns out leaves his customer with the feeling that Eddie's reputation for thoroughness and reliability is richly deserved and his friendships and bank account royally won. And Eddie's got a wonderful little wife. She's stuck to him now wellnigh on to twenty-two years, and Eddie admits she must be a dandy to have gotten away with that. Anyway, she's a right regal queen, and like most other queens in this world, she goes about her many daily duties uncrowned.

And he's got a beautiful little daughter, too who one of these days is going to be another prince's princess. And they'll both ride off, Lord and Lady of all the Universe, every inch of them as much a monarch as that of any scion of any of Europe's leading, touch-me-not dynasties. No American royalty, did you say? Forget it Mr. Minister, and don't pull any more such stuff about the good old U. S. A. till you've learned something about the land of the free and the home of the brave. And, Mr. Minister, let's whisper in your ear, we neglected to say that Eddie Meyers and his wife are only two of a few million American kings and queens who don't weigh themselves down with gold braid and secret service men. Right here is the place where kings and queens are in the making on a scale you newer dreamed was possible they just grow indigenous it's in the climate, in the soil, yes, in the blood and you can find kings and queens, as many of them as you want, scattered in America's every nook, corner and cranny.
