More Pay for School Trustees

The petition made to council last night on
behalf of the Richmond school board, asking for
a small increase in the salaries of it's members,
should be given prompt attention and the neces-
sary relief provided.
Great responsibility rests on the members of
the school board and each one, especially the
treasurer, serves under heavy bond with COM
pensation so small to practically amount to
nothing-$100 year each.
In the past, bonds for these public-spirited
school trustees have been provided by other pub
hc-spirited citizens but, as the trustees suggest
it is more desirable that these bonds be given by
bonding concerns, to be paid for out of the pock-
cts of the school board members in the absence
of a law permitting such payments to be made
out of the school funds.
With the increase in the personal bond of
each trustee this year, through $35, 900 bond
issue for school, the president and secre-
tary of the board would each have to pay bond
ing company sol for their required $91 900 bond,
this out of their 500 salary. On the other hand
the treasurer to meet his 1915 payment on his
$275,OO0 bond would have to turn over his en-
tire years salary and shrink his bank account
for the extra $175.
For council to refuse to remedy this condition
of affairs would be manifesty unfair, and the
suggestion that the salaries of the school board
president and secretary be increased to 5000 a
year, and the treasurer's salary be advanced to
at least $500, should be complied with without
any hesitation.

Boost the Fall Festival

Next Friday morning the finance committee
appointed to aid in promoting fall festival for
Richmond has arranged to make a canvass of the
business to secure subscriptions to the festi-
val fund.
If sufficient money is raised to meet the ex-
penses of such an event festival will be held. If
the committee cannot secure the required amount
all efforts to promote festival will promptly
cease.
: The Palladium feels confident that the wide
awake business men of this city appreciate the
benefits of past festivals and will cooperate with
the finance committee by liberal contributions.
So far no plans for the festival have been
made by it's promoters for they have adopted the
business-like policy of making the arrangements
for the event dependent the expense fund.-
thus guarding against any deficit, which has
married former festivals.
There are numerous business interests in the
city which are directly benefited by festivals,
and they are expected to be the most liberal sub
scribers to the fund. However, other business
interests which are only indirectly benefited
should not hesitate in making generous donations
because it has been concusivey proved that
such events help the city as whole in more
ways than one.
Remember, Mr.. Business Man, the question
of whether Richmond is to continue to be an en-
terprising progressive city is to be placed direct
ly up to you next Friday.
When committeeman call on you, put your
name down for the largest sum you afford
to give. Don't waste their time, for they are
business men like yourself and are giving their
time to the work out of spirit of public service
The above receipt for a successful fall festi-
val is guaranteed to bring desired results.
Try it.

Managers for Cities

There is steadily increasing tendency to
have the affairs of municipalities administered
after the same fashion as private business enter
prises are conducted. 1t is most unenlightened
community which still regards city government
as something created solely to provide profess
sonal politicians with jobs.
In line with the new attitude of the American
people in regard to the administration of civic
affairs is bill pending in the legislature of one
of the most progressive of states, Wisconsin,
This measure was prepared by DR.. McGregor,
of the University of Wisconsin, and if it becomes
a law the cities of Wisconsin will be under the
control of managers. The plan has been expert
mented with by Virginia city and has proved
successful, but the Wisconsin plan is more COM
prehensive and if placed in operation will furnish
interesting and profitable comparison with the
commission government plan.
For the important provisions of the McGregor
bill the Palladium is indebted to the FIT. Wayne
News. They are as follows:
49, The city manager shall be elected purely
it, electing city the council shall give
regard training experience executive and admnisra-
tive ability efficiency and general qualifications
fitness performing the duties of the office
person shall eligible to the office of city manager

AUTOMOBILE KILLS MOST.
A Comparison of Deaths by Steam
Train and Motor Car.

The municipal reference librarian
of Chicago, Frederick Rex, has taken
the trouble to collate some statistics
regarding fatal railway and automo-
bile accidents for the fiscal year 1912,
and has drawn therefrom few inter-
esting comparisons. He finds that the
number of passengers killed in all
ways on all of the railways of the
United States during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1912, was 270. Dur
ing the same period according to in
formation obtained by the Chicago
statistical expert, 691 persons were
killed by automobiles in % American
cities having population of 100000
or more.
The comparison becomes startling
when it is realized that in the State
of New York alone such cities as
Rochester, Syracuse and Albany are
not included. Neither does the list
of % cities include all other cities in
other States with population exceed
ing 1OO,OO0.-Chicago Record Herald

MORO WHO WAS A WIT.
Capt. Morris Tells of the Time He
Taught Head Hunters Baseball.

Capt. John E. Morris, of the Sixth
Infantry, has, theoretically, died a
thousand deaths for his country in
the Philippines, mostly battling mad
ly against Moros, and as reward of
merit he now is living a peaceful
life at the Preside of San Francisco,
temporarily attached to the quarter
master corps, says the San Francisco
Chronicle. At the Preside the quar-
termaster corps doesn't do much OF
anything saving pay, feed, clothe
and otherwise keep in good humor
all that section of Uncle Sans army
stationed there. The quartermaster
corps works IS hours day and has
the balance of the time to itself.
When somewhat youger than at
present-and Capt. Morris cannot
be accused of being an aged person
the Sixth Infantry officer was sta
toned with his company in some in
accessible Moro town. Morris thought
that if the Moros of his district could
become interested in some sporting
stunt outside Of head hunting the
United States insurance companies
mortality tables could readily be re-
adjusted so far as soldiers were con-
cerned, so he encouraged his men to
teach the Moros baseball. When a
man is playing baseball he is not
chopping off heads, and Capt. Morris
appreciated this fact.
Two baseball teams were organic
ed-a Moro team and team from
Morris company-and one day the
first game of the series was to bepull-
ed off. The question of the umpire
was the great one of the moment,
and after much discussion native
Moro was selected to pass upon the
fine points of the game.
In Filipino umpire is properly
expressed as "makifula,' and when
Capt. Morris arrived on the scene of
the proposed ball game the Moro who
was to be umpire approached him.
"Makifula, me-" remarked the
Moro.
Capt. Norris looked at the native
umpire without in the slightest un-
derstanding what he was driving at.
Pm glad you are a 'makifula, he
remarked, but please inform me

FINDS DAUGHTER IN DREAM.
Mother Reunited With Girl Who Was
Lost for Is Years.

A dream, so vivid that it led a
mother to travel nearly 1000 miles,
came true with the reunion of Mrs.
Marion A. Dexter, of Chicago, and
her daughter, Alice G. Dexter, for
whom she has been searching for 8
years, says a Syracuse dispatch to
The New York Tribune.
On last Sunday night Mrs. Dexter,
in Chicago, dreamed that she found
her daughter living with the family
of James S. Slocum in Moravia, n.
Y. So deeply was Mrs. Dexter i'm
pressed by the dream that she jour
neyed to Moravia, arriving there and
finding the dream true in every par
ticular.
Fifteen years ago Miss Dexter S
parents decided to separate at Bos-
ton, Mrs. Dexter at once went West,
moving recently to Chicago. She had
lost all track of her daughter. Mr..
Dexter died in New York year ago.
The daughter, who is miniature
painter, had been visiting the Slocum
family for a week past.

A Remarkable Newspaper.

In British Columbia there is lit
tie newspaper, the Kamloops Wawa.
circulating among several tribes of
North American Indians. The unique
feature of this journal is that it is
printed in shorthand. Its story is a
remarkable one. Some years ago the
Rev. J. M. LIE Jeune, Breton mis-
sionary, arrived in British Columbia
to take charge of territory some
fifty miles square. He found the
great obstacle to his work to be the
absence of any means of written COM
munication, as the natives had no
written language of their own. His
repeated efforts to teach them to read
and write by ordinary methods failed
entirely. The missionary was ac-
ouainted with the simple French
Duployan shorthand, and then con-
ceived the novel idea of teaching the
Indians to write their own language
phonetically by means of the short
hand characters. He adopted the
stenographic signs to the Chinook
language, and the experiment proved
a complete success There are to-
day three thousand Indians able to
write and read their own language by
10 other means than shorthand.
"Wawa" means talk" in the Chi
nook. hence the title of the little
newspaper which has been the natur-
al outcome of the missionary's under
taking.

SENNT TO FEDERAL PRISON
Three Freight Car Thieves Sentenced
in Atlanta.

The Carlin bill, recently passed by
congress, making the robbery OF
freight cars, baggage cars and express
cars engaged in interstate commerce,
and the robbery of interstate ship
ments from platform and station, a
federal offence, is a law with teeth
in it, and sharp ones at that, as was
evidenced in the federal court IN BIZ
mingham, Ala, Thursday, when John
L. Parker was given sentence OF
six years in the United States prison,
having been convicted of robbing a
shipment of shoes consigned to Gla-
zen. Miss, from a car in the Birming-
ham yards on May 4. Parker was
also implicated in robbing a shipment
of notions consigned to Avondale,
Ala, from a car in the Birmingham
yards on the night of July 30, and
Otis Williams and Arthur Goodbye,
who, it is was alleged, assisted him,
were given sentences of four years
and six months and three years and
six months, respectively, in the Uni
ted States prison.
Under the Carlin law the prosecu-
tion of car and depot thieves is
greatly simplified and the certainty
of conviction is much greater, as the
federal statutes do not provide the
loopholes found in various state laws
through which many criminals whose
guilt was clearly proved have been
enabled to escape on technicalities.
AS the result of the operation of this
law it is believed that criminals will
recognize the DANCED of tampering
with freight cars and depots, and that
there will be a great decrease in
thefts of this character, which fire.
quently cause serious inconvenience
and loss to shippers as well as to the
railroads.

ARMY MANEUVER DAMAGES.
Msconception Regarding Uncle
Sans Willingness to Pay.

An important sequel of the ma
neuvers wherever and whenever they
occur is the settlement of claims for
damages. This account has now been
closed in the case of the Connecticut
maneuvers last summer, which cost
the government about $4,000 in ad-
justing the claims for damages, says
the Army and Navy Register. 1t is
found that a misconception of law
has given rise to the idea that the
government pays for damage done by
a man wearing the uniform. A'great
many officers of the National Guard,
it was found, had this mistaken no
ton, and so informed civilians. I'm
der the law the government does not
pay and is not liable for any dam
ages not incident to military opera
tions. Theft and other torts COM
mitted by individuals must be met by
action against the individual or
against the organization to which he
belongs. Fully so per cent. of the
owners within the territory of last
years maneuvers were blessed with
q pliable conscience, it appears, when
a claim against the government was
under consideration. This at times
verged upon a willingness to commit
fraud, according to an official report
in the matter. Many farmers were
willing that damage should be done,
believing that they would make mon
ey thereby. One man of prominence,
owning land in the ground covered
by the maneuvers, said that he saw
damage being done, and neither in
terposed an objection nor made any
report to the military authorities,
who were in camp nearby, and with
whom he was associating socially
He said that he did not take steps to
stop the damage because he knew
the government would pay him well
for it.

Obeyed Instructions.

The teacher of large school sent
one of her scholars to buy pound
of plums from fruit vender outside,
relates the Buffalo Enquirer, and as
she handed the little girl ten cents,
said:
BE sure, Mary, before buying the
plums, to pinch one or two, just to
see that they are ripe"
In little while the girl returned
with flushed face and a triumphant
look in her eyes, Hnading the teach
er the bag of plums, she placed the
money on the desk and exclaimed:
Il pinched one or two, as you told
me, and when the man wasn't look
ing l pinched bagful.'
