Startling Facts Regarding Children

Miss Julia c. Lathrop, Of the Chill
dren's Bureau Of Washington, declares
that 100000 babies less than one year
old died last year in this country, and
she adds that it has been authoritively
ascertained that at least half of these
deaths were needless. The Bureau
points out that practically all of the
deaths of small children are due to
conditions existing before birth, or in
jury or accident at birth. A mono
graph entitled Prenatal Care" has
been issued by the Children's Bureau,
and may be obtained free by writing

GREED IS GREATEST
MENACE TO MAN
GraSping for Temporal Things is
Worlds Worst Evil According to
Spokane Minister

Taking for his topic, What is the
Worlds Greatest Evil?" the Rev.
Thomas H. Harper, pastor Of the
Westminster Congregational church,
Of Spokane, preached last Sunday night
from the text: The Love of Money
is the Root of All Evil" saying that
selfshness is the worlds greatest evil,
because it matches every known sir"
Before me rises the mountain
range Of sin" the speaker continued.
It's peaks glow in hideousness and
power. We see the monster head Of
the liquor traffic. The gamblers den,
houses Of illfame, the deadly sweat
shop, the undermining tenement house
system and many others.
Have you ever paused TO consider
why these evils? 1t is not because
the owner of the saloon or gambling
den wants to debauch character, but
to get gain. Health is not to be con-
sidered. Virtue is sacrificed, honor is
placed upon the altar, all for the sake
Of gain. The question of right and
wrong has been largely lost sight OF
and profit and loss has taken its place.
May the time soon come when the
love of money and the whole world be
able TO recognize the fatherhood Of
God and the brotherhood Of man"
The Rev. Mr.. Harper sent out let
tiers requesting answers on the topic
and among others received the fol-
lowing:
The greatest evil in the world is
commercialism.
The tendency to acquire wealth,
no matter by what means.
The manufacture and sale of intox-
icating liquor.
Love of money.
Commercial dishonesty and greed
as a result.
Avarice.
The inordinate desire for wealth.
To secure wealth all other crimes
are committed.
Ignorance and superstition.
An exaggerated individualism.
Mems love OF sin and virtual wor-
ship Of self.
Selfshness.
The white slave traffic and graft.
Next Sunday night the question
will be, What do you believe to be
the greatest need of the nation2"

WHERE 1T SUCCEEDS.

While our friends who can see little or no
good in the commission form of government are
busily engaged in pointing out the failures
several cities In the country which have
adopted real commission government are going
ahead making a success OF It One of these
is Memphis Tenn. Memphis is no MUM
cpal heaven and some laws are violated, but in
spite of this fact the city Is conducted in a
business.llke manner. There may be faults to
be found, but the school facilities have been in
creased, many miles of paved streets and many
square miles of parks have been added or I'M
proved. Public baths have been established and
other work of improvement has been done, and
all this without adding to the tax rate. On the
contrary. the rate has been lowered.
when the commission went into Office" says
the Newport News Ttmes,HerdId, 'the city tax
rate was s175 on the 800 In one year 1t had
been reduced fourteen cents, and 1t has now
been reduced eighteen cents. 1t Is simply sys-
TEN and efficiency on the one hand as against
lack of system and ineffciency and consequent
waste on the other hand"
Here Ia food for thought for those who are
continually giving utterance to the bromide that
no matter what the form OF government 1t Will
not prove success unless competent men are
elected to Office These people seem to forget
that 1t Is just as easy to elect competent men
to conduct the affairs of commission governed
city as to elect officials of city governed by a
two-branch council and mayor and that the bet
ter system with the same clasa OF officials will
give the better government

A GOOD SIGN.

That all the members OF the special council
committee on annexation, with the exception
of one. who was out Of the CITY, left their vari-
GUS places of business to give two afternoons to
a first-hand study of the annexation problem
seems to indicate that the committee is deter
mined to gather all the information possible on
the subject and to reach decision at the earliest
possible moment The fact apparently goes to
show that charges that the committee is neg
lectng It's duty are unfounded.
The Virginian for one hopes that this Is true,
and that a report to the council will soon be
forthcoming.
A few weeks more, and that report should be
ready. The committee will then have had time
to acquire information, digest It and put 1t In
the form of report At the end Of that time
there will be no excuse for further delay II 1t
is not forthcoming the council should ask for It.
The people of Richmond. through their repre-
senatves, the members of the council. have given
this special committee q commission. and they
expect 1t to be filled.

In Virginia, but in the State of New York. where
they had possessed taxable values. That they
had been guilty Of making false returns and
other questionable proceedings in the effort to
avoid their legal share of the business Of gov

Another charge was that one Of the most

Times Dispatch had in mind when making Its
original charge against these in connection with

VIII Affect Primary Result.

Editor of The Virginian: 49,.
Sir-Your Sunday issue was delayed IN It's
arrival consequently. the editorial, fhreatins
the Party" has just been read. Now, though.
upon the matter which prompted your edi-
torial.
The writer Is familiar with the complaints
from the four counties mentioned In that edi-
torsal. Lee. Wise, Patrick and Dickinson, ana
will saw that while the complaint from Wise Is
of mild FORM those from the otner couhties
are more serious. .
As to Dickinson county CONSERVATIVE essi-
mate gives at least 80 per cent OF the Demo-
Gratis as opposed to the reappontment or french
as division superintendent of schools, and from
information the other counties Patrick and Lee
they were given. 1t is hard to understand just
why the State board OF education ignored the
wishes of practically the whole people In max
ing these appointments when these wishes We're
clearly made known by letters, petitions, ana
otherwise. There five applicants besides
French for the position any one or whom
would have given satisfaction to the mass of the
people concerned. Still, Notwithstanding this
disregard Of the wishes OF these people am
not aware OF any serious threats being made
against the party. But there will be some votes
in my own county cast differently from what
wishes Of the 80 per cent of the Democrats been
respected. - .,
In the general election. however, the full
party vote will be cast. or at most there Will
be no perceptible disanection. But the point
u.s. an effort will be made to nominate in the
with a good will In the general election. Elective
boards and men who given the power to
make appointments of public officials. must
learn to respect the wishes of the people. II they
would continue in favor
