DR.. |. S. Harold Says Bad
Highways Keep Farm
ers Out.

The bad roads which exist in all
of the rural communities are respon-
sible for the high cost OF living, aC-
cording to DR. Isaac S Harold. d for
mer Richmond man. who has lived in
the northwest for some time and has
made a study of the conditions all
over the county.
In addressing the students of Earl
ham college. DR. Harold said: The
bad roads over which all the products
of the farm have to be hauled cause
loss of balance between the pro-
ducer and consumer. and thus serve
to increase the cost of living. In the
countries of Europe the cost OF hauling
over the country roads is eight cents
a mile. while in this county il amounts
to twenty-five cents a mile. II is
quite evident that this has some ef-
feet on the product when it is finally
brought to market
DR. Harold also spoke concerning
the coast-to-coaSt highway that has
been brought to the atte" ion of the
government, and said he believed it
would be more satisfactory to follow
the old National road from Pittsburg
to St.Louis i'll stead OF passing through
Chicago, as has been proposed. Ac-
cordiug to DR.. Harold this project
should be taken up by the federal
government, and after the road has
operate it and keep it up. The his
toricar value Of such road was point
ed out by the speaker.

In all cities, large or small the first

sickness means that society must care
for its weaker members who are M
able to cope with conditions unas-
sisted The Associated Charities in
this city has for many years cared
for those in distress. This organiza-
tion has protected the people of Rich
mond from the opportunities of the
vagrant, the swindler and the un-
worthy mendicant. Dimes placed with
this society for careful use have done
more for the mitigation of suffering
than dollars scattered in a haphazard
manner by the individual donor could
have done.
Last year the Associated Charities
had $4,000 to carry on it's work In
Richmond. Most of this money went
for actual relief work This year CON
ditions probably will be worse than
they were last year. Yet the organic

SOCIAL EVIL MENACE
TO CITY'S FUTURE
Saloons Obey Law Holds Po-
lice Chief in Survey of
City's Morals.

Chief OF Police l. A Gormon, who
retires from office in less than
month and brings to u close career
as a police officer extending over
period of thirty-tive years, today dis
cussed moral conditions in Richmond,
declaring them to be far above the
average in cities of this size and in
large cities of the state.
The social evil is the most serious
moral question which now confronts
the people of Richmond, Mr.. GormOn
declared
THE liquor question in Richmond
at present is far from being serious
one" said Mr.. Gormon. The saloons,
taken as whole, are operated IN d
satisfactory manner. and the saloon
men have co-operated actively in the
enforcement of the laws. During my
present administration as chief of the
police department have mad no trou-
BILE in respect to enforcing the Sunday
closing and the IL p. m. closing laws,
and disorders in saloons have been
most nfrequent. | give the saloon
men much credit for this condition of
affairs"
Wine Room Evil
There are d few saloons, well
known to the police, which operate
sO-Called wine rooms, where loose
women Congregate. but these rooms
have been operated within the prOvi-
sion of the law and the police have
been unable to hnd any cases against
the proprietors of these places. To
the best of the knowledge of the
police, only women who are of age
are permitted to frequent these wine
rooms, and the saloonists do not serve
liquor to them directly, their escorts
purchasing the liquor at the bar and
taking it themselves to the women.
Chief GOrmOn, however, would like to
see these wine rooms closed.
Richmond has its social evil as
well as every other city in the United
States, and its regulation is a difficult
and complex task" the chief remark
ed. There are no recognized houses
of i'll fame now, nor have there been
for some time, to the best of my
knowledge. They are closed as fast
as they become recognized as being
such dives. There are a few houses
of i'll repute, where men and women
meet, and these | have also sought to

PAID
$3.50 FOR LAND

The condemnation SUIT brought by
the Richmond City Water Works COM
pany against property owned by Al
fred Underhill has been withdrawn
the dispute having been settled by
the company paying Underhill 81 so
and bearing all costs OF the case.
The suit for damages done the COM
panys property by the explosion of
dynamite on the Underhill land in too
close proximity TO the water main was
withdrawn.
Before the proceedings were insti-
tuted the company offered Underhill
$500 for the right-of-way through his
property. Underhill declined the of
fer and named a much larger sum.
Last week the attorneys of the two
parties to the dispute succeeded in
etfecting a compromise.
