THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM

AND SUN-TELEGRAM

All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. The Moral Condition of Our Youth Secretary Butler's observation that many commitments of girls from Wayne county to the state correctional institution of necessity do not imply superlative wickedness and abnormal depravity in our girls, is a cheering bit of informa-. tion. ;He suggests, as an explanation of the large number, that officials in-Wayne county may be more alert; in "watching over the -welfare of delinquent girls than are officers in other counties. Girls are not permitted to travel the downward path to utter ruination, but are caught in time by warm hearted officials who see that they are placed in institutions, for which Timothy Nicholson and other leaders of our community fought many years ago, where they may be reformed while there is still opportunity. If some of our officials were calloused hearted enough to believe that these efforts were futile, dozens of girls who are being taught in public institutions how to support themselves honorably probably would be on our streets, and would lack the chance -of making good. It also is noteworthy that Mr. Butler pays a warm tribute to the work of Miss Clark, who is secretary of the Social Service bureau in this city. Miss Clark has demonstrated right along that she knows how to handle cases of human frailty and poverty. Conditions in counties that send few girls to the correctional institutions may be exceedingly bad. Wayne county need not apologize for the moral conduct of its young women. It's no heaven, by any means, but neither is it so steeped in immorality that its girls are a disgrace to the community. There is every reason to belie va that almost. all of our girls are morally clean. No one denies that unfortunate girls will be found here ; but the implication that the number is larger than elsewhere is taken with a

.grain of salt by those who know our community.

It is easy to stand on the street corner and indulge in loose talk about the alleged immorality of your men and women, and to le.ave the inference that they are a disgrace to themselves and their parents.

The fact is that Richmond for many years.;

has administered the relief of its poor and afflicted and has handled its delinquents on a much higher plane than can be found in the average city. The reason for this is that our citizenship always has been of a high type and that good influences have been at work developing and fostering it for generations.

The Margaret Smith Home The effort of the Shrine colony of Richmond to provide a new porch for the Margaret Smith home will receive the generous support of citizens. The home is one of the fine institutions of Richmond that has contributed its share to make the city one of the best in the country. The Boy Scouts will sell tickets to the theatres tonight while the Legion band and the Shriners parade on Main street. -The purchase of a few tickets by every citizen will easily provide enough money for the improvement. The home serves a distinct purpose. It contributes to the comfort and happiness of aged women, who ordinarily perhaps would lack the care which their years demand. A small contribution will provide an additional comfort for the inmates.

Memorial Trees

Reports from many parts of the United States indicate warm and quick co-operation in the plan of fringing the national highways of the country with trees, each one planted in honor of a service man. This living memorial to the fighters appeals to the hearts and minds of the public. The beautiful public edifices that will be erected will serve a distinct purpose, and so will the trees that border the great arteries of travel in the United States. The trees suggest the necessity of keeping alive year in and year out the great work which the fighters did' in behalf of their country. The symbolism is excellent, and the spirit with which the idea has been accepted as a worthy one emphasizes the interest which the country is taking in this expression of gratitude.

Good Evening By Roy K. Moulton

A New York manager rehearsed his company to play a musical show. He wit his director after some secondhand scenery. The director came hack and paid all the scenery he could find was a set for "King Lear." "All right," said the manager, "we'll play 'King Lear, " and they did. A prominent educator says that in a half century we shall have no ignorant class. But we will have this class as long as people have to fill out income tax blanks. THE FIRST CONTRIBUTION. Dear Roy I would like to be the first fo contribute toward buying clothing for the Statue of Liberty. Please include dgarets and face powder so she will be quite up to date. A. WHIM. At 'least we owe Roy Harris, who confessed to the Blwell murder, a vote of thanks for keeping the Shillwell case off the first page for a few days. Maude Radford Warren asks: "Should women choose their mates'"' Foolish- question No. 65,437. They always do, Maude. It 'bpins to look hs though they have got John Barleycorn ered. The "Transcript" says that if Plymouth Rock turns up missing during the hocus pocus it is. now going through perhaps some legislator will be found wearing it as a watch charm. WOULD SHE? Jim's wife tells all the scandal (Or so I've und?rtood). Would my wife do a thing like that? O-bov, I'll say she would! U M. W. We wish, while Prof. Enstein is with us, that ho would figure out the relativity between the landlord and the tenant.

APROPOS PROHIBITION "The average man loves a scrap," says a great newspaper editor. The editor is wrong. EVERY man loves a scrap average, above average, below average, bril liant, dull, tall, small, pacifist, artist, artisan, high-brow, low-brow, profes' sional, non-professional; two kids mauling each other on the sidewalk ini mediatev Rather a motley mob.

From the best of us all through the ranks of the rest of us, we love a

contest; our hearts thrill to a battle or set-to we love to see and hear u not to participate. It is the universal, elemental brute in us fighting for a way out. That 13 why prohibition furnishes so much entertainment in opportunity for argument and fun the latter for the fellow who has "his", of course. And what a battle royal the whole world would have enjoyed had Dr. Buckley and Dr. Ingersol debated prohibition's pros and cons! If the debate would have been anything like the letters they wrote each other, then we have indeed been cheated out of a few masterpieces of impassioned oratory. This is a letter Dr. Ingersoll once wrote Dr Buckley Dear Buckley I send you some of the most wonderful whisky that ever drove a skeleton from the feast of painted landscapes in the brain of man. It ia the mingled soul of wheat and corn. In it you will find the sunshine and shadows that chased each other over billowy fields, the breath of June, the carol of the lark, the dews of the night, the wealth of the summer and the autumn's rich content, all golden with imprisoned light. Drink it, and you will hear the voice of men and maidens singing the "Harvest Home,"

I mingled with the laughter of children. Drink it and you will feel within your

blood the starred dawn, the dreamy, tawny dusk of perfect days. For forty years this liquid joy has been confined within staves Of oak, longing td touch the lips of man. r Your friend, ROBERT G. And here is Dr. Buckley's reply Dear Bob I return to you some of the most wonderful whisky that ever brought a skeleton into the closet or painted scenes of lust and bloodshed in the brain of man. It is the ghost of wheat and corn, crazed by the loss of their natural bodies. In it you will find a transient sunshine chased by a shadow as cold as an Arctic midnight, in which the breath of June grows icy, and the carol of the lark gives place to the foreboding cry of the raven. Drink it and you shall have "woe," "sorrow," "babbling" and "wounds with-

i out cause." Your eyes shall behold strange women, and your heart shall utter perverse things. Drink it and you shall hear the voice of demons, ! shrinking women wailing, and worse than orphaned children mourning the ! loss of a father who lives. Drink it deep and long, and serpents will hiss in 1 your ears, coil themselves about your neck and seize you with their fangs.

At last it "biteth like a serpent and sungetn like an adder. " lor rorty years this liquid has been confined within staves of oak, harmless there as nurest water. I send it to you that you may put an enemy into your mouth to steal away your brain, and yet I call myself Tour friend, BUCKLEY.

THE SPEAKER The man who wants to make a speech infests 11 towns in whifh we dwell; 're- stalks along the lonely beach, and lingers in the sylvan dell; for years I've tried in vpin to reach a place where he won't come and yell. He speaks, and will not be denied, wherever thero is standing room, his mouth is ever yawning wide, and multiplies the public gloom, and when a delegate has died, he talks a circle round the tomb. I see him on a soapbox stand,, and hear him howl until he's hoarse, predicting that our native land will be the home of all that's coarse, unless the government is canned, and Russian notions put In force. I. bear his wordy thunders sweep beneath the fretted state house dome; I meet him on the rolling deep. I see him everywhere I roam; and if the dog should he asleep he'd e'en invade my bumble home. The chronic speaker seldom knows enough to last him over night: he hasn't conned th stately prose of sages who have deigned to write; his shallow stream of language flows without a saving thought in sight. If he'd but quit when he is done, we might forgive him now and then, buLwben his works begin to run there is no end, and no "amen"; he thrashes chestnuts by the ton, then thrashes them all o'er again.1

He spoke right to this man, acquitted himself rather t etter than usual because of his attentive inspiration. When the address was over he came down from the platform, shook this man by the hand, thanked him for his evident appreciation and told him what a help it had been. "I would like to ask," he said, "if it is not too personal, just what quality it was in my performance that held you so unwaveringly to it?" "Well." said the stranger, "I have heard a great many speeches. I always go to all the speakings that are held 'round here. But you are the first man I ever heard speak whose back teeth I could see all the time."

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take IV "Up THE TfriHNGS WE AIM AT If we go into our days aimless, we end them intermixed with confused notes. And that is the way with the aimless life. It can never quite find itself, to say nothing of placing correctly the elements which enter it daily ready for sound service. We were all meant to be used and to make the most use of everything of which we are capable. And it doesn't matter nearly so much that we fail in what we aim for, as it does that we do not aim at all. Everyone within the influence of the one who strives, is in turn inspired. We mount as we see others mount. Example is powerful. I read a wonderful book and have secret yearnings to write a book myself. And so day by day I aim at this. The very things we aim at the very moment that we aim at them become a connected part of our aim. And so it is that we approach our goal satisfying ourselves all along the way. If we aim to be happy, if we aim to be helpful, if we aim to do just a little better each day, we can be well assured in advance that we are going to be of considerable use anyway, in some way or other. It's like going into a thick woods, knowing that if we travel in the right direction, we are going to come out on the other side to our objective point. And so we are not going to get panicky as all about us presents confusion and quite a little of fear. The things we aim at are the things that we are going to get in some measure or other. We are never greater than the things we do. And yet, I am very sure that we take upon us many of the elements of greatness as we tread the way to the things we so much desire. Why not always aim, then?

PRINCETON LECTURER SAYS GREAT PROBLEM

IS STUDY OF NATURE fRv Associated Press PHILADELPHIA, April 23. Probably the most important question in the world today is whether man is capable of directing intelligently the civilization he has created and organized, said Dr. Stewart Paton in a paper read at today's session of the American Philosophical society.. Dr.

Paton, who is lecturer in Neurobiology at Princeton University, said: "International as well as industrial peace can only be attained in proportion as wo are capable of understanding and controlling human nature. Following the outburst of insanity in 1914, which plunged the world into waf, no attempt has been made by statesmen or diplomatists at the peace conferences to discriminata between the signs of sanity and insanity. Must Change Methods. "In order to understand the nature of sanity we must use two methods of investigation: 1. analytical; 2. synthetical. Man has paid a heavy price tor neglecting the latter. He has studied parts of the human machine, but.

has made little effort to notice behavior of the entire machine. "Judging sanity and insanity is a

biological and not a psychological problem. It is not a question of body

and mind, but of body-mind. The organizations of the body-mind in sanity

provides: 1, channels for discharge

of energy in action; 2, assists individuals to face squarely problems of act

ual life, and 3, rewards effort by definite sense of achievement and feeling

of adequac.

"Bolshevism, radicalism and the ten.

dency to think in terms of class dis

tinction are defense re-actions of inad-

equates afraid of facing their own personal problems. "Success of the individual, future of democracy, and the fate of ourcivilization repend upon the recognition of these biological principles and the cultivation of mental processes favorable for sane thinking and acting."
