The New City Administration

Mayor Robbins and his appontees take office
today and assume the responsibilities OF manag-
Ing the affairs of this city. The Palladium
wishes for them a successful administration. 1t
hopes they will be able to make good IN every
way.
When Mr.. Robbins announced his appoint
ments the Palladium disapproved OF three or TOUR
of them on the grounds that they were not MADE
in accord with prediction pledges. Having sup
ported Mr.. Robbins because he had made the run
on a non-partisan and efficiency platform it was
constrained to protest When ne 1aleo 10 GAIL
out that platform.
1t has not changed its opinion since. But the
new administration now belongs to the city. The
responsibility rests on the shoulders of its mem
bers The men who take office will swear them
selves to perform the duties of their office with
the full understanding that in assuming respon-
sbtv they are also entitled to every opportunl-
ty to make good.
1t is the duty of every citizen, whatever his
politics. to see that unnecessary obstacles are
thrown across their path. He would be an un-
gracious person indeed to embarrass the OIL
Gals merely for personal spiteful reasons.
Now that they in office the whole community
should lend them its support.
And it should also continue to have the same
interest in local affairs that it manifested during
the campaign AS it is the duty of every citizen
to boost his own representatives while they are
doing their best, it is equally his duty to call a
halt when they fail.
And as it is the duty of private citizen. so
is it, we conceive, the duty of newspaper. The
Palladium is going to give the new officials every
support it can in performing the functions OF
their office It will also hold itself free to crti-
else any false move made. But we trust there
will be no occasion for such criticism.

A Bureau of Research for Richmond.
the bacon.

Those familiar with the record of the Bureau
of Research at Dayton not surprised to learn
that the Commercial Club committee was very
favOrably impressed with it. Any citizen with
the least spark of civic pride or business sense
will heartily subscribe to such an organization.
1t is to a town what brains are to body.
The Dayton bureau helped make the new
charter which is in effect there. Although
this was in charge of the Committee of One Hun
dred and was later referred to popular VOTE it
is everywhere understood that DR.. Epson, d-
rector of the bureau, had major influence in
its shaping.
The bureau has led in revolutionizing meth
DDS of administration in Dayton, and that is a
more important thing in many ways than new
charter, because bad government is due to bad
ness of methods rather than to badness of men,
Through improving the methods of running
the towns business the bureau has helped to save
the city thousands of dollars how many thous-
ands, it is impossible to calculate
With liberal of publicity, both through
the papers and through pamphleteering, it has
awakened the average citizen to keener inter-
est in the affairs of his city. Previously al
most all publicity was edited by party organs
end reached the citizens in a somewhat dilapi-
dated condition. By skilful use of the noble
art of not telling all the facts, the taxpayers were
kept IN ignorance OF the way IN which their hard
earned money was being used
By publicity and through town meetings the
bureau has helped create town consciousness, the
greatest thing of ALL everything considered in
lifting community to higher levels. Every po-
lltical administration sinks to the state of the
people.
Richmond like all other Indiana cities is the
creature of the state and fat pork barrel for
political interests. The only possible way for
another four years of lifting the plane of eff
cheney is through bureau. Men of means, with
"a sense of civic pride and a desire to do some
thing worth while will find such organization
the best possible kind Of monument; unlike an
inert mass of bronze stone, it will become in
time kind of perpetual motion machine of be-
neficence, turning out increased happiness and
larger life for Richmond people during the gen
eratiOnS to come.

POWER THROUGH PRAYER
Men Who Sway Destinies of Nations
Pray Constantly.

That the men who have proved
themselves the beacon lights of history
and the men who have swayed the
destinies of nations are men OF pray
er, was the statement OF Evangelist
Honeywell at the Saturday night meet
ing at the tabernacle. Prayers, how
ever, that are OF the old. stereotyped
style, do little good. he said, for they
must be prayers OF confession, weak
ness OF the mortal throwing itself
upon the strength of the Supreme Be
ing, the armOr OF battle. and ignorance
throwing itself on Gods wisdom.
You may say your prayers from the
cradle TO the grave, and Yet never
lave prayed he continued. The
prayer must come from the heart and
not the lips. Prayers repeated day
after day in the way it was taught
are lost ten thousand miles this side
of heaven. They never rise higher
than those electric lights.
Praying is Essential.
You might just as we'll try TO live
physically without breathing as TO live
spiritually without praying. When
you pray you are talking TO the King
of Prayer.

greatest of laith-and you can not ask
too much. Believe more and receive
more, for God has the power to grant
it. The influence and power that the
church ka@ enjoyed in the past may
be yours through prayer.
You talk to your wives and hus-
bands about the evangeHst's peculiari-

The Triumph of Biddy and Brindle

The federal departments compute that the
crop Yields for 1913 was lower than for any year
in the decade, with the single exception OF 1911.
All told, including live stock, the farmers of the
country created nine billions Of wealth. Of this,
almost five billions in crops.
The secretary of agriculture explains this
shortage by saying that early droughts followed
by excessive heat cut down the yield. lie also
points out that 1912 brought bumper yield and
this must be taken into account in making the
comparison A goodly portion of the unused pro-
visions Of that were carried over and

this year,
Although it is true that short crops mean
harder times it will be the town dWeller rather
than the farmer who will feel the immediate eff
iects: the agrculturast will receive more cash
than before. But this is not to argue that short
crops make weather. farmers, because the farm

The cotton yield will rank third or fourth in size

comprise ninety per cent Of all crop acreage.
