ONE, OR TWO SCHOOL BUILDINGS

We have come to the subject and it is proper
now to settle it.
Lets get together
On the subject of the location of the new school
building we have held to the theory that it
would be proper to delay discussion until after we
had provided the money with which to build.
We are ready to take sides. We have not the
slightest interest personal in the matter 1t is one
of the subjects that we can treat with the patri-
otto spirit. The city is already provided with two
roomy sites on which to build and it seems to have
been the original plan to put school building in
each CT the four wards of the city. The scheme
looks alright paper, and at first thought
we were inclined to building two modern school
houses, one in the second and one in the fourth
ward
But it would bea mistake. The whole scheme
is faulty. A more centrally located building or
buildings adjacent would be decidedly preferable.
Fitzgerald has had ten years experience with
two widely separated ward buildings quite sufi-
cient to demonstrate the weakness of the plan.
If the city is large enough for two four schools
with enough in each grade in each ward building
it would be alright, but the consolidation of the
grades requiring children from the third ward to
attend the first ward school and vice versa complete
ly does away with the only advantage that could
possibly be claimed by the ward school scheme
Then it is inconvenient and expensive for the Sup
erintendent, sexton, heating etc.

Pursuing the line of the least resistance the
editor of this paper would leave unwritten many
things that appear in these columns.
But would that be pursuing the line of dutys
We doubt it.
When in doubt we do our duty.
Only a few months ago the DRY for the election
of city court Judge and solicitor by the people was
heard the length and breadth of the county, and
stopped over into an ad joining county. The
ground swell of pure patriotism shook the con-
fines of serene Ben Hill. The cry of UOr pODlGIi
yOr del walked the echoes and startled the servile
spirits of tamely submissive sovereign sufragist of
the latest and livest of the county organizations
of the Empire State of the South.
We have waited to publish the necessary no.
tce of 'oca legislation necessary for the change
in the law.
We have not really expected to be called on to
publish the notice since the defeat of Governor
Smith.
We did not expect 10 see the law changed
even if the governor had been renOminated but
we expected to hear more of the hypocritical clam
or. We did not expect to see the law changed be-
cause it would be mistake to do so, and We have
the utmost confidence in the men who have been
elected to attend to such matters.
lar vote is wrong and where it has been adopted
is direct result of political hypocrisy. 1t is pos
sible that some honest men believe that it is a
good or even the best plan for selecting those oic

hypOcritS who insist OH the rule for political ad
vantage.
No solicitor judge should be required to
deal with jurors attorneys, ltigants parties who

ADVERTISING.

The greatest advertiser in all America is I'm

papers everywhere in I'LL the states Of the Union
some item of advertising. Opening the Enterprise

WORK NEARS COMPLETION

Secretary George l.. Goodwin today
received letter from the Hon. Selden
Spencer of st. Louis, president of the
International Y. M. c. A, stating that
it would be impossible for him TO de-
liver the dedicatory address at the ded-
ication of the Richmond Y NJ. c. A.
building, Sunday, December "a. This
was a great disappointment TO the To-
cal Y>M. c. A. workers. An effort
will now bemade to secure some other
prominent man to deliver the dedica-
tory address.
Contractors have practically COM
pleted their work on the new building
and just smaH staff of workmen is
now employed putting on the finishing
touches. The decorator has been at
work for a week and will probably
complete his job by the last of next
week or the first of the following
week.

Witherby, general manager of the
great corporation which controls the

pany, seen in the move TO have the
coming legislature enact a public util-
tiles law?
City officials believe so and, they
state, should this law be enacted IL
will sound the death knell of the Rich
mond Municipal plant. 1t is alleged
that Witherby is back of the Vincen-
nes legislator who has announced that
he intends to present public utilities
bill
City officials believe that Witherby
has been quietly working on this
scheme ever since council and the
board of public works heaped insults
and abuse on him when he made his
recent effort to purchase the local mu-
nicipal plant.
"The man who spoke before the
Commercial club on the benefits TO be
derived from a public utility law was
sent here by Witherby. This man de-
livered his address before the club
shortly after the city had plainly and
Enthusiastically told Witherby that ii
did not care to sell out it's plant" stat
ed city official this morning.
Il wish that this city could make
some effort TO defeat the passage of a
public utilities law. Robert Ashe
would be a splendid man TO make
such a fight, but the city would not
be justified in paying his expenses
for going to Indianapolis and lobbying
against the proposed bill, said anoth
er city official.
Under the terms of the proposed
public utilities law, municipal man
agement of institutions such as light
plants and water works is done away
with and a commission is appointed
TO regulate public service corporations
increasing or lowering rates as il
sees fit. The rulings of this commits
sion cannot be appealed To the courts
City officials point out that it woult
be an easy matter for the big public
service corporations to control such {
commission. leaving the dear public tC
grin and saw wood. In his efforts Il
absorb municipal plants in this state
Witherby has met with rebuffs and
it is believed, the report he is now
behind the public utilities bill, which
he is known to favor, is authentic.

TRIAL ENDS TOMORROW

1t was stated by an attorney in the

come to a close tomorrow. Mr.. Lit
tie. the attorney, who drew the will of
the late George Frybarger, the terms
of which have caused the entire litiga-
tion. was on the stand the greater part
of today. Indications are that which
ever way the jury decides, an appeal
will beasked. Attorneys for both lit
igants have been very careful to take
exceptions 20 adverse rulings by the
court and have had the exceptions
made a part of the record of the trial.
Judge Fox has been careful and con-
siderate in his rulings, also. with the
purpose to exclude any chance for a
mistrial.

PANIC AMONGST SISTERS AND

New York, Dec. 9.-Nine persons
were badly injured and twenty others
cut and bruised by falling walls and
shattered glass early today when an
agent for the BLACK Hand society
dropped bomb from the roof into an
air shaft of five story tenement, at
$50 East Sixty-third street.
The explosion was terrific. breaking
many windows in many of the neigh
boring buildings. The tenement was
occupied exclusively by Italians.
The convent of the Holy Rosary,
across the street. experienced a panic
amongst the sisters and children. The
nine that were injured had to be car
ried from the wreckage.
The police believe the outrage was
another attempt to get revenge on Gil
ovanni Cozussi the banker, who re-
fused to pay ransom on his kidnap-
ped son more than year ago.

FUSED TO SIGN RULES IN

In the effort to bring about a closer
observance of the Sabbath. a commit
tee of the Ministerial association has
been endeavoring to induce the meat
dealers to close their places of busi-
ness upon Sunday. A number of the
their willingness. In fact several
dealers claim they would not open
their shops if the patronage did not de-
mand it and competition make it ne
cessity. The assertion is made that it
is not necessary for the shops to re-
main open at this season of the year
as no ice is required for the preserva-
tion of meat.
The committee of the Ministerial AS
sociation today issued the following
statement to the meat dealers and pub
lie:

dealers of the city to close on that day
and remain closed. If we failed tc
