Editor of the Palladium:
Why is it the men of Richmond
have a place to go and enjoy them
selves on Sunday afternoons and us
poor women have no place to go ex-
cept to church? The men have their
club rooms to go to and play cards.
Now l don't see why us women can't
have Sunday moving picture shows.
Now is it right for the club rooms
to be kept open Sundays? Men get up,
eat breakfast and go straight to the
clubs and are never seen any more I'M
at the shops all week are too tired to
go any place during the week but if
the picture shows were open on Sun
days, say from p. m. until p. m. it
would be a very good thing for the
girls and boys of Richmond, think.
If the owners of such shows would
have some good plays such as we have
seen in the past, as "A Child Should
Lead You," or 1.-THE Poor People and
Their Battle of Life" something that
would make them study what is right
and wrong, it would be good thing
Now we know fathers with a family
that go to their clubs and leave all the
care of the children to their poor old
mothers, and now if one of those chill
dren goes wrong mother is to blame
because father spends all his time at
the club. A Subscriber.

FIXING RESPONSIBILITY.

At meeting of the West Richmond
Improvement Association on last Fri
day night there was an animated dis
cussion of the scarlet fever situation.
There being some uncertainty as to
the exact legal responsibility and pow
ers of the city health officer, num-
Der of questions were asked in regard
to these points. The president of the
association, DR.. E. B. Grosvenor, is al
so president of the city board of
health, and being thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with all the statutes and regula-
tons of the State Board of Health, he
was able to answer the questions
promptly and authoritatively. The
questions and Mr.. Grosvenor's replies
were substantially as follows:
Question. Do the rules of the State
Board of Health have the force and
validity of laws?
Answer. They do.
Question. Has any local health Off

TO ATTEND MEETING

]. B. Wharton, general manager of
the Richmond Light, Heat and Power
company will attend the meeting of
the members of the Indiana Gas Asso-
citation in indianapolis, March II and
IS. The prices of gas in all cities of
the same size in this section of the
country are approximately the same
as the prices in Richmond, according
to Mr.. Wharton.
The price of gas is not too high
when compared with other places, the
local manager maintains. Though
there was some talk of reducing the
rate last year, Mr. Wharton said that
the same rate of 81 per thousand prob
ably would be maintained indefinitely.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Electrici-
ty may do away with the time hon
ored filibustering scheme in the
house and completely revolutionize
some of the details of parliamentary
procedure that have obtained in that
body almost since the founding of the
republic. Representative Finis ].
Garrett of Tennessee has plan
whereby the statesmen at the nation
al capital might harness the electric
current and use it to record their
wishes on legislative matters. II the
plan is put into successful operation
many important changes might result
in the routine business of the House.
Representative Garrett is the au-
thor of a resolution that has been re-
ferred to the Rules Committee empow-
ering that committee to make an in
vestigation and report TO the House
upon the feasibility of installing a de-
each member could vote by pressing
a button.
At present much of the time of the
House is lost in roll calls. II takes
forty minutes now to make a roll call
and with the addition of forty more
members in the next House the time
to be consumed in this task will be
at least so minutes. At first sight
this would not appear important, but
when it is known that a favorite re-
sort of filibuster is to force roll calls
so as to delay measures which il is
sought to talk to death or otherwise
M nrfa of
call as means of obstruction is seen.
Many roll calls are forced upon the
House, not for the purpose OF putting
members on record, but because of the
desire for delay. Roll calls are forced
on minor amendments to bills which
are in themselves unimportant and
not put forward as examples of con-
structive craftsmanship, for the pur-
pose of delaying some other matter
1t happens often that no roll calls are
had on measures where members do
not like to go on record, as for in.
stance the numerous prohibition bills,
prohibition being the subject upon
which many congressman will tell
you privately that they do not care to
go on record, except as a last resort
| Inc record vote or the aye and no
vote, is not in effect in the British
Parliament or in many Of the state
legislature in the United States. There
are plenty of ways of ascertaining
how a member of parliament stands
on a question or he may have his at.
t1tude specially recorded in the jour
nal. In the House all those voting aye
or no in a given case are directly re.
corded in the record, but the list OF
pairs does not appear in the journal.
To carry out the Carrot idea of cleo
trical voting it would be necessary to
have at the desk, or seat, of each mem
Der at least three buttons which he
could push as occasion requires, AYE,

Representative Garrett admits that
he has no particular electrical device
in mind. but he believes the idea
would adapt itself TO conditions in the
House If the engineering details could
be worked out so as to assure the pro-
per amount of practicability.
Another time saving to be affected
by an electrical roll call would be in
ascertaining the presence OF quorum.
Unlike the Senate where the demand
for a quorum is generally made in
good faith, the demand for a quorum
in the House is generally made for OBJ
struction. Attendance in the House is
always best when the members rea-

cial any legal right to vary from these
rules?
Answer. None at all.
Question. For instance, has the City
Health officer any legal right to short
en- the period of quarantine for scarlet
fever below the twenty-one days pre-
scribed in the rules of the State Board
of Health?
Answer. He has not.
Question. Has the attending physi-
clan, or any person, other than the
health officer any legal right to termi-
nate a scarlet fever quarantine?
Answer. No one but the city health
officer has any authority in the case.
Since last April there have been re-
ported in the city 215 cases of scarlet
fever. For the last three months more
than 40 cases have been reported each
month. There have been five deaths
If an interurban car should be wreck
ed, injuring two hundred of our chill
dren SO that they had to be out or
school from one to three weeks, dis

outright, it would thrill the commu-
nifty with horror, and if it were dis
covered that the employees of the road
had neglected the rules of safety laid
down in the state laws and in the reg
ulations of the State Railroad Com
mission, and had done so at the in
stance of the superintendent of the
road, we should demand that that SUI
perintendent should be held RESPONSE
BILE and punished for manslaughter.
We learn from an interview publish
ed Saturday that the city health officer
admits having violated the rules of
the State Board of Health, and that
he has now appealed to the Attorney
General to know whether he has not
discretionary power thus to do. DR..
Davis certainly has in his possession
a copy of the book of instructions to
health authorities, 1909, on the front
cover of which is this statement: THE
Attorney General says: The rules es-
tablished by the State Board Of
Health have the force of statutes ;"
The rules there laid down in regard to
quarantine for scarlet fever are def
mite and mandatory and there is, as
Mr.. Grosvenor stated, nolegal pow
ito vary from them vested by the law
of the State Board in the City Health
Officer

Heart toHeart
Talks
ANOTHER VOICE FROM THE INSIDE.
~ JAMES A. EDCERTon

ANOTHER VOICE FROM THE INSIDE.
The whole country has heard of the
recent remark of a former president
Of the New York Stock Exchange prac-
tcally admitting that morals have
nothing to do with Wall street.
That was Illuminating.
Now comes another incident throw
ing more light on the dark places.
John Fl. Reynolds, Jr., recently re-
Nnquished his seat in the exchange,
and the reason he gave his friends was
that he became Disguised with the
practices pursued there.
Mr.. Reynolds is only twenty-five
years old, belongs to one Of the best
families in New York state, was a
member Of the important firm Of Eff
fingham Lawrence, and all his friends
thought he had a bright future in the
world Of high finance.
But it appears that Mr.. Reynolds
also has q conscience. He is reported
to have said that he grew tired of
seeing an unsuspecting public robbed
by INSCRIPTIONS men Of wealth travel
Ing under the guise Of responsibility"
Therefore he gave up his bright
prospects and it is said will start all
over again in the electrical business.
If this young man had gone on he
would doubtless have achieved what
many men call success.
What Is success2
Can it be achieved in violation Of
morals and common honesty?
Success is a magic word, but it
should also be a high and untarnished
word.
Is any man entitled to be called a
success who Injuries others?
Can he be a real winner and disre-
gard his own conscience?
All sophistry aside, can he?
At the time of his debate with Sen
ator Douglas Abraham Lincoln spoke
Of himself as failure. Yet he had
followed his conscience, and in a few
years this very fact made him the
most conspicuous success of his age.
Lincoln taught us that right makes
might" By the same token does not
right make success?
If the young man came to see that
stock gambling is dishonest and in
furious to the people did he not achieve
actual success in quitting it. even
though he abandoned seemingly bril-
liant prospects?
Success should be grasped with clear
hands. Otherwise it will become sc
smudged and dirty as to lose it's lus
ter.
Success is great thing, but who
wants to be successful crook?
