MAY OFFER GOLD MEDAL.
a Commercial Club Plan to Further
Pride in the City.

A member of the Commercial Club has
offered a number of suggestions to the
club. looking to the betterment of the city
of Indianapolis in social and commercial
ways. He asked the privilege of co-operat-
ing in the work, which, he said, could only
be brought about by organized effort along
various lines. His plan is outlined in the
following communication TO the directors
of the club:
"A plan in which 1 have faith is to build
UP in our young people, through our edu-
cational methods. pride i'm our city and
State. and a sense of duty in striving for
public interests. If their thoughts can be
turned in this direction i'm their school
days-the DAYS of budding ambition and OF
awakening power-they will go forth into
the responsibilities of life trained and
equipped for citizenship on a higher plane
than m accurate knowledge OF arithmetic
suggests. As a means OF turning the
thoughts OF the young people in this direc-
ton | suggest that through the CONNER
cial Club, a gold medal, of suitable de-
sign. be offered to the pupil Of the public
thesis, based on facts, best rejecting pride
of citizenship in indianapolis. When young
people in their own way and by their own
efforts familiariZe themselves with this
knowledge II will have more potent and
more lasting influence than other ways of
reaching them.
1.-The confident hope of this suggestion is
that it will. il carried out, give Impetus in
a few years 70 an era OF citizenship which
will make indianapolis in all respects a
model city-the pride of us 10 whom il will
always be home. | shall esteem II a priv
ilege 10 be allowed to bear the expense of
providing the gold medal for the first year.
II the experiment is found worthy Of con-
tinuance others will doubtless be glad 10
be accorded the same privilege in subse-
quent years, as IL will afford a gratifying
opportunity TO be helpful in building up

Scotch Highland. rs Have Money.


 There is more money in circulation 1n the Scotch highlands now than ever there was and for that the crofters have to thank the millionaire proprie tor and sportsman. The advent of the millionaire desirous of acquiring pleas. Ire grounds gave the old proprietors their golden opportunity a3d many of them sold out. Then came the time of speculation as to the attitude of the newcomers toward the native popula- tion. Pessimists predicted all sorts of harsh treatment on the part of the landlords. But the millionaires, as a rule, proved to be of quite another kind. They set themselves to the i'm provement of their estates, employing local labor whenever possible; did what they could to establish local in- dustres of a permanent character: made roads; improved ground; built houses planted trees and spent money lavishly all the while, not only keep ing the tenants in their old homes. but providing the work which brought them a better livelihood than they had eve,y enjoyed before-Chicago News.
