The choice between the city manager and the federal system of municipal government is the issue to be decided on June 14. A campaign of education now being waged by proponents of the change and the anti-city manger forces will provide sufficient data for an intelligent decision by the voters. If the new system is to supplant the old one, it will be accomplished only by a number of votes exceeding those cast by the opposition. Friends of the proposed change dare not be apathetic on election day. They must come out in full number if they hope to win for their cause. The city manager system has been successful in most places where it has been tried. - Residents of cities whose administration is operated under the new system prefer it to the old one. Results have been obtained, satisfaction given, and many of the weaknesses of the old system removed. Voters of Richmond are not asked to adopt
an untried and untested system, but are urged to install a form of municipal government designed to give maximum results. ,
"It Must Not Be Again" Who does not share the sentiments of President Harding when he thinks of the priceless sacrifice of blood required to wreck the German war machine ? Who would not subscribe to the other thoughts of that address delivered at the services for the soldier dead?

were not willing to fight, and, if need be, to die, but I do wish for a nation where it is not necessary to ask for that sacrifice. "I do not pretend that millennial days have come, but I can believe inline possibility' of a nation being so righteous as never to make a a war of conquest, and a nation so powerful in righteousness that none will dare invoke her wrath. I wish for us such a nation." The lofty patriotism of our president does not overlook the practical necessity of being prepared to defend our sacred honor against the attacks of a foe. Neither does he ignore the fact that heroic sacrifices may be demanded in the future to perpetuate the liberties for which they died. These are exalted ideals toward whose attainment the American people are striving, but they are not permitting their idealism to blind them to the threats of other nations whose conceptions of righteousness are not so well developed as our own.

Breaking Upfthe Bomb Gangs Effective work by the Chicago police is breaking up the bomb gangs that wrecked buildings and assaulted workers. That community has been terrorized for many years by dis
gruntled leaders who, for money or other considerations, were able to hire thugs and dynamiters to intimidate men who dared to oppose them. Sufficient progress has been made in the investigation to indicate that guilty ones are under arrest and that the police will be able to send them to the penitentiary.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can," "Take it," "Up" ' SOLITUDE Worth and greatness breed in Bolitude. Just before His crucifixion Jesus withdrew to a lonely place that he might pray. Washington and Lincoln often did the same thing. For the soul must be alone when it is sore pressed. In solitude is a man able to summarize his life. Aloneness somehow seems to distribute its shadows so that an appraisement of values is possible. pne is not overburdened with conceit when in solitude. One is able to look into his own character and know the dross that is there. If you feel that there is considerable that is the matter with you, get alone. And stay there until you begin to feel the inadequateness of your own powers as against those of the Almighty and those of all Nature which always pull for the man who does his best to pull for himself. Solitude it's the Supreme Court of last resort where we must all go for the final decisions that make or break our lives! In solitude you may sweep aside the irrevelant and get down to the essentials. Where the ordinary disturbing elements that creep in while the crowd stands by, are absent, you are able to concentrate, analyze and separate. And that is what makesone man strong against the one who will not seek solitude. Many folks go around in the world all cluttered up looking like the unkept desks of complaining failures in business. In solitude you may clean your desk wipe your slate clean. And learn to be a man anew! Try it.
a sign that Jonah has gone overboard; j trade brightens up, the outlook's fine,! and normalcy will he restored. II! j fares the land whose people say, "We i can't afford to paint the barn," who see the fence all dingy gray, and do not Seem to care a darn. For years the people have been bent beneatn a load of care and woe. and so thy would not spend a cent for any brand of paint we know. Their load was . . , n-1 j 1 great, they had the dumps, and there was no relief in view; unpainted went the cistern pumps, the cowsheps and the hencoops, too. While things were thus I always said, "Our land will have its ugly sores, until men buy Venetian red, and paint their roofs and cellar doors. All optimistic spiels are bosh, and normalcy is out and down, and talk of progress will not wash, when shabby house fill the town." But now the sign for which I yearned is evident in every grad, the smell of linseed oil's returned, and it has made all boosters glad. Men seek the paintshop with the cush, the kopecks and the iron men. and then they ply the useful brush, and make the old thacks young again.

Answers to Questions Daily Reader Will you please emote the epitaph by Robert Louis Stevenson, which contains the expressions: "The sailor is home from the sea: the hunter is home from the hill." The epitaph is as follows: Under the wide and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie; Glad did I live and gladly die. And I laid me down with a will. This be the verse you grave for me: Here he lies where he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter home from the hill. Mrs. R. C. Was there any activity similar to that done by thp Salvation Army and Y. M. C. A. in the Civil War? There was the work of the U. S.

Gastritis relieved, nerves quiet and sleeps sound. I don't mind telling anybody that the new medicine, Dreco, has done me a lot of good and I'm glad that I heard about it and bought a bottle," said Mrs. Maggie Rosey of 709 South Lafountain St., Kokomo, Ind. "I've suffered an awful lot from constipation, nervousness, poor sleep, no appetite, and gas in my stomach. This gas often got so bad that it pressed against my heart, causing short ness of breath and hard breathing. My I kidneys often annoyed me and I'd have terrible backache so that I could hardly sweep up the house. I read what Dreco did for a lady here in town and got a bottle. It certainly was money well spent for my constipation is entirely relieved, no more gas forms in my stomach, nor presses against my heart. I have a good appe- , tite, my nerves are quieted so that Ij sleep well, and the little catarrh that ; has bothered me is gone. Dreco has j built me up and I'm feeling better ' than in years."

Dinner Stories I v i The customer in the grocery store, having ruined his clothes, was hopping mad. "Didnt you see that sign, 'Fresh Paint?' " asked the grocer. "Of course I did," snapped the customer, "but I've seen so many signs hung up here announcing something fresh that wasn't that I didn't believe it." One tradition has it that Mohammed drew up the Koran with the aid of a Persian Jew and a Nestorian monk. Is Your Back Giving Out? Is a bad back making you miserable?
