Enlargement Of Quarters.

The steady increase of the member
ship of the club has unquestionably
brought us face to face with the need
of larger quarters. When the present
building was purchased the club resi-
dent membership was about so per
cent. Of its present membership. This
building, with the alterations made by
the ut-going administration, has seTv-
ed us well; but none will deny, even
in its present excellent condition, that
it is wholly inadequate for the require
ments and purposes Of the present
large membership, and certainly never
designed to accommodate the needs Of
the varied membership which forms
our roster.
This administration, with the active
aid Of the officers and members, hope
TO put into operation some plan BY
which other and more eommodious
quarters, suitably located, and better
adapted to our growing needs, may be
obtained. I have given to this sub
Jet considerable study and win at the
earliest meeting Of the new board Of
lay before them my plans
10 the end that they may be taken up
and If found feasible, put
into execution The scope Of this
brief address will not admit Of q de-
tailed explanation of my plans in this
regard. simply mention it at this
time as one Of the pressing needs which
[ think you viii all agree, is q much

Embellishments.
It is to be regretted that too little
attention has been paid by those upon
whom rests the duty of providing for
the entertainment Of the members and
their guests, to . more diversified char
seter Of entertainments
For some reason it has come to be
regarded that the only form Of amuse-
meRt necessary is card playing. As
result only those members, about %
per cent, who appreciate this character
Of entertainment, are regular club pa
irons. This is manifestly wrong and
it shall be the purpose Of this admin
istration to offer to those who do not
indulge in card playing, features from
time to time that will be both attrae-
tive and congenial. In this manner it
is our aim to attract that large num-
Der of members whose visits to the
club are so infreQuent because Of the
absence OF amusement in which they
do indulge. This administration hopes
to allay some of the adverse sentiment
sustained by the women whose hus-
bands, etc, are members Of the club,
by inaugurating and putting into oper-
alton a series of entertainments to
which the women may come and enjoy
themselves. By this means we hope to
elicit the cooperation and friendly in
terest Of the ladies, and thereby make
the visits of the men less calculated
to cause "eurtain lectures" when they
return home with the statement that
al have been to the AppOmattox
Club"
Physical Management.
Without any reflection upon past
arrangements, and with a view only to
enhance the financial interest Of the
club, these recommendations are made
to the appropriate committees whose
duties deal with the physical manage
ment:
Q) A better system than now in
vogue should be Immediately put in
operation for the control and manage
ment of the clubs principal source of
income.
(2) The steward should account BIZ
weekly on a form Of statement fur
nished by him to the Chairman COM
mittee of all his receipts and expendi-
lures covering the half week preceding.
(3) The chairman Of the House
committee should be given absolute
charge Of the physical management Of
The club, subject only to rules for his
guidance made by the board Of diree-
ors.
az Some arrangement should be
lade under the direction Of the House
Ommittee by which members and their
riends could obtain a buffet luncheon,
.hus adding to the attractions Of the
club as a meeting place.
(5) Each source Of the clubs in
ZONE, rents, dues, etc, should be kept
by the secretary separately, so that |
zach source may Independently show
is earnings.
(6) Absolute authority should be
rested in the House committee for the
regulations and control Of all forms
If amusements, and the hours for open
ng and closing the club house.

ty Of the limit. In passing upon those
who may hereafter apply until the
limit is reached, there devolves upon
the membership committee a high re-
sponsibility. This committee in its in
vestigations when passing upon an ap-
Plieant should, and 1 hope they will,
always keep constantly before them the
fact that the club in limiting the mem
bership in effect sOlsmnly declared that
all who hereafter enter must square
with the test Of high character, good
and honorable dealings
with his fellows.

As a rule, city councils are liberal
with their appropriations for fire and
police service and, justly so. But when
it comes to appropriating money for
health purposes, these same bodies are
either Indifferent or ignorant, or both,
as to the importance of conserving the
health of the people. 1t is quite nat
ural, no doubt, that the burning Of an
old frame structure that is an eye
sore to the community, should cause
more excitement than the death of
dozen people from consumption in the
same locality; but why not have money
and men to fight consumption as well
as to fight fret Both are important
and neither should be neglected. PeO-
pie are as much entitled to protection
against sickness, disease and death as
they are against fire, thieves and hold
up men.

Public Conduct Of Members

No one will gainsay that as a race
we are face to face with a rapidly
growing prejudice, the like of which
has not been experienced since the i'm
mortal Lincoln signed the proclamation,
which liberated four million bondmen.
Events crowding one upon another of
recent years in all parts of the eoun-
try, have had the effect of thinning the
ranks of those stalwart white cham
pions Of manhood rights, until today
few are left bold enough to front the
fray in our battle for equal opportu-
nifty. Upon reflection we must admit
that in the gradual growth of this con-
dition we are not wholly blameless.
The inscriptions public conduct and
dishonorable private dealings, in many
cases, have contributed to the lorna
ton Of the public opinion, which to-
day falls so heavily upon us all. In
times gone by the acts and deeds Of the
ignorant and eriminally inclined mem
bers Of the race were treated as prop
erly they should be by Our, white neigh
bors, as the acts Of the individuals. It
is to be regretted and deplored that
those days are fast heeting away. Now
the consequences Of the conduct and
deeds of the individual member Of the
race falls alike upon the just and un-
Just. And this is intensified where I'M
serupulous methods are resorted to in
the pursuit Of the coin Of the realm
by those Of the race who are numbered
among the highly educated.
Unquestionably, we must bestir our
selves, representing as We do, the best
that the race affords in the member
ship Of this club, to the end that this
growing adverse sentiment may be
turned in the direction which win
make for closer relations and better
understanding between the two races.
To the membership Of the AppOmat-
tox Club, severaIly and collectively, 1t
means that We must 80 let our public
conduct and private life exemplify the
higher ideals, Is win bring to rs, not
only a individuals, but IS q race, N
this community the highest degree Of
respect and helpful consideration from |
all the citizens Of whatever national
ity. In this proportion only can we
hope to curb the unreasOning preju- |

Mr.. Toastmaster, Members and Guests:
desire first to express to the mem
bers Of this club my sincere sppre-
citation for the high honor which you
have conferred by electing me to ill
the chief executive Office for the ensu-
ing year. A peculiar sense Of pride
is felt from the fact that for the first
time in the club history its president
was elected to this Office without OPP
position and as the unanimous choice
of its members Ny hope is, that when
my administration shall have closed,
1 may be able to point with the same
degree Of pride to the retention Of
this great measure Of confidence, by
the officers and members. This hope,
however, must be a forlorn one, If
from the beginning and lasting through
out the year, I cannot count upon the
helpful cooperation Of the officers and
the unselhsh support Of the members.
You may, however, be assured that I
shall give the Office and its duties the
best that lie within my power. More
/ cannot do, and 1 am sure, more you
will not expect.
Before touching upon some of the
subjects, which to me are Of much i'm
portanee both in connection with our
club life and civic duty, I desire to
give expression to a sentiment regard
ing the outgoing president. 1t is
doubtful if there can be found in the
entire membership Of this club a sin
gle man who will not agree with me /
when I say that for aggressiveness,
genuine enterprise, enthusiastic club
fellowship and constructive admins
tration, no president since the club
was organized has excelled Mr.. W. r.
Cowan. 1 have no doubt that but for
The unwritten law which forbades more
than two successive terms, he would
have been continued at the helm as
long as he would be willing to serve.
[ know I voice the sentiments of the
entire membership when say to him
that we are the better OF for your
two administrations and we all fond
ly cherish the hope that you will con-
tinue to give US the benefit Of your
experience, wisdom and cooperation in
carrying out plans which We hope will
make the Appomattox Club the peer of |

Library Committee.

For q long time, in fact, only one ad-
ministration that 1 can remember in
the clubs history, has recognized the
importance of this committee. In truth
and fact, this is, perhaps, the most i'm
portant Of all standing committees if
the functions which properly are with
in their power were put into opera
ton. Through this channel the club
membership and their friends could be
brought into touch with the literary
life of this great and growing city.
Through this committee a close rela-
tionship could be maintained with 9TH
er clubs in this city which deal with
questions of civic interest. Questions
vital to the development and mainte-
nance Of a high standard Of citizen
ship among the members Of the race
with which we are identified should be
matters which this committee ought to
address itself. Only through this com
nittee can the club hope at any time
% realize that its existence is for
purposes other than sOeiaGzing in the
club rooms for the sole pleasure of the
and their guests. This
thought is dropped with the hope that
those who shall constitute the Library
will inaugurste plans at once
looking to contamination of some Of
the things / have here briefly ad-
verted to.

The city that has an abnormsIy
high death rate from the preventable
diseases is guilty of criminal neglect
in its administration of public health
work. Nor is the blame always TO be
laid upon the health officials. It de-
ponds whether or not these officials
have been given the men and means
with which to carry on those aetivi-
ties that, when properly performed,
will safeguard effectively the public
health. The ancient Israelites found
they could not make bricks without
straw; neither can the health official Of
today carry on an efficient health work
without money.

MONEY ron HEALTH.

In these. little health articles We have
often talked about the diseases that
are preventableH that is, the diseases
due to filth, dirt and igneTance. Such
diseases as cholera and yellow fever
are fine examples Of the ailments that
people need not have If only their sani-
tary surroundings are what they should
be. The best illustration Of how such
diseases yield to sanitary administra-
ton Is found in the Panama Canal
zone, where there has not been q sin
gle case of yellow fever for six years.
In the same district, too, malaria has
also been practically wiped out; and
all because the sanitary conditions have
been improved to the point that Pan
ANA, once q pest hole, is now more
that is, has a lower death
rate than some Of our northern sea
port cities.
