The Real Richmond Spirit

The real Richmond spirit displayed itself yes
terday when tidy amounting to nearly
$4,000 was raised in a few hours for the purpose
of financing fall festival next October.
The band of hustlers who made the canvass
for funds gave their services cheerfully and en-
Enthusiastically and the majority of the business
men they called upon were liberal in their
contributions.
A few men were found who refused to make
any donations, but they compose such small
minority that there is no danger they will ever
be able to side-track the city back into the rut
where it remained for many years.
The men who have made the revival of the
fall festival possible are those who do not view
every public enterprise from dollars and cents
viewpoint, who content with indirect finan-
cial returns and who realize the great benefit
the city derives from any event which attracts
large crowds within it's gates
The wonderful growth of many western cities
has been due primarily to the encouragement
given public events. In fact municipal advertis-
ing has become fine art in the west.

THE CITY OF SLEEP

Over the edge of the purple down,
Where the single lampight CLEANS,
Know We the road to the Merciful Town
That is hard by the Sea of Dreams
Where the poor may law their wrongs away,
And the sick may forget to weep?
But we-pity us; oh, pity us.
We must go back with Policeman Day
Back from the City of Sleep!
Weary then turn from the scroll and crown
Fetter and prayer and plow-
They that go up to the Merciful Town,
For her CRATES are closing now.
1t is their right in the Baths of Night
Body and soul to steep,
But we-pity us, ah, pity us!
We wakeful; oh, pity us,
We must go back with Policeman Day
Pack from the City of Sleep.
Over the edge of the purple down,
Ere the tender dreams begin
Look-we may look-at the Mercifu Town,
But We may not enter in.
Outcasts all, from her guarded wall,
Back to our watch We creep;
We-pity us; ah, pity
We wakeful; oh pity us.
We that go back with Policeman Day
-Rudyard Kipling

The Ounce of Prevention

DR.. Kings report of the health of 1,4OO pupils
in five of the public schools of the city showing
ninety-five per cent. defective in one respect or
another, is of timely value to their parents. De-
fects in the health of the young can be remedied
easier than can be cured the ailments of older
people.
Young boys and girls of today will be the men
and women of tomorrow. Protect and encourage
good health in the young generation and when it
has reached its full development it will carry on
the work of the world efficiently and cour-
ageously.
Put off until the never arriving tomorrow the
systematic upbuilding of the health of the young
and you condemn future generations to continue
bearing the heavy heritage of pain and suffering
and consequent inefficency and encouragement,
that past generations have borne

A school system that numbers among its

which parents are systematically kept informed
of the physical defects of their children is a
boon to humanity. 1t marks further advance

and running the risk of the latter being too late

Wanted-More Musical Treats

There are quite number of Richmond people
who are today impressed with the fact that Rich
mond really has remarkable musical organiza-
has been known to host of music lovers in this
city for some time, but the fact did not dawn
upon a number of people who take but little in
terest in anything except business and domestic
affairs until they attended the symphony
cert last evening.
Of course they had heard that Richmond had
established reputation a musical center
through it's orchestra, but they were not pre-
pared to find that this organization which had
grown up in their midst without attracting more
than passing notice from them was, shall we say
a musical masterpiece.
The perfection attained by the Richmond
Symphony Orchestra, one of the citys best
assets, is to the credit of modest, Woodworking
Will Earhart, to the faithful, ambitious young
Prof. Lebo who has so ably carried on the work
of conducting the orchestra since Prof Earhart
was called to larger field of activity.
Now that the orchestra has opened the eyes
of the average citizen of Richmond and has won
well deserved admiration, than con-
cert year will be wanted. 1t is to be hoped
that number of these musical treats will be
arranged for next winter and spring. There is
no reason to doubt that in the future such
concerts will be well attended and the reve-
nue. the orchestra will derive from them will Gre
ate fund large enough to meet all of it's ex-
penses.

street this unfortunate, nervous monarch pass
es along.
Stubbornly clinging to form of government
Anticipated century ago, he prefers to continue
a target for the bombs of anarchists than to
yield to the demand for a more popular form of
government.
What contrast there was in the entry to
Berlin of King George of England, monarch in
name only of free, self governing people, and
the entry to the capital of the absolute
ruler of enslaved empire. George rode gaily
to the kaiser's palace in an open motor with
out armed escort. Nicholas was hurried through
a bristling forest of bayonets.
