The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1913-01-08
az ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE.

The writer again calls attention to
the concert to be given for the Tuber-
culosis Hospital fund on Sunday after
noon, at three o'clock in the Murray
Theater.
All money after expenses are paid,
will be turned over to the Wayne
County Society for the Study and Pre-
vention of Tuberculosis.
The writer had arranged this con-
cert for the second Sunday in January
several months ago.
And concluded, after learning of the
conditions in this city and county that
the profits would be turned over to
this organiza ton to start a fund for
badly needed institution.
With one thousand dollars, the or
ganization states, a hospital can be
started.
The admission fee of fifty cents and
the limited capacity of the Murray
will not enable the manager of the con-
cert to turn over large sum.
But it will be beginning.
The expenses will be minimized be-
cause Of the fact that the two must
clans who give the concert are, or will
be, in this part of the country at that
time and can stop off in Richmond for
an afternoon without interference with
other engagements.
They have kindly consented to scale
down their usual prices for concert
of this character on account of the
charitable object
Since this is done by two persons
no direct interest in the erection Of a
Hospital of this character in Wayne
County, the public should, in turn,
show it's appreciation.
The harpist, Madame Lawrence,
who will appear, was the former harp
soloist with the Theodore Thomas Or
chestra, and Mr. Shenk is we'll
known baritone singer
The concert, in short, will be suf-
hciently interesting in itself without
consideration of the object for which
1t is given.
Much interest has been manifested
and large audience will no doubt
greet the two artists.
The Society has been trying for the
past four or five years to impress with
realization of the necessity of such
an institution and is gratified that the
Wayne County public is recognizing it.
Eight hours is long enough for any.
body to work.
At least SO announce the members
of a club in South Bend.
And they are going to follow this
up with practical demonstration.
Or make a try at the latter.
In the shape of a bill to the Legis
lature to make the eight hour limit in
Indiana obligatory.
Whether or not this will apply mere
ly to the business woman or to the
household slave is not said.
Presumably in the business anc
trades.
It will possibly meet with opposi
ton.
Because anything that lightens la
Dor and makes life easier for the ranl
and file is usually given the famed
marble heart.
For the reason that it interfere.
with somebody's private interests.
And private interests are always
paramount.
Conscience rarely comes into pla.
when individual gain is within tn,
grasp or even in sight.
People will do the most incredibl,
things under the cloak Of business
Business is business" Is a convent
ent slogan.
And covers up multitude of meal
dealings.
Perfectly reputable citizens, thos
often denominated good husband
and fathers" who pass the plate an,
contribute to charities, who neithe
smoke. drink or chew the filthy weed
will indulge in the most ,reprehensi
BILE practices and consider themselve
justified in so doing because it i
business"
One of the humours of the day wa
the recent testimony of Mr.. Pierpon
Morgan before a Senate committee
= Mr.. Morgan positively stated tina
any man could go into his bank an
get million dollars on his characte
il the said man didn't have cent O
security other than his good name.
Morgan stated this was the case il
any banking institution.
II this Is the truth then banking in
situations are carried on on a myster
Gus basis.
For the average layman knows tina
the man who can put up the securit
and not necessarily the honest man O
good character is the man that get
accommodations at banks.
Pierpont Morgan stated that h
knew any number Of men without
cent of security to whom he woul
loan one million dollars.
