Such situation opens an opportunity

Several weeks ago the Turks an
nounced that they were marching VIC

the Turks seem to have suspended

Vi the CLUB was response TO q widespread &c
mand among the citizens Of Richmond. It's
move. therefore, must not be interpreted as
slam on those persons now in charge OF the work.
Too much cannot be said of their splendid self
sacrifice and heroic endeavors. On the contrary,
this action has been requested by these very
workers themselves.
The chief need in the present charity situa-
ton is systematic union and coordination OF all
parties and organizations concerned. One needs
only to scan the list of the clubs and societies now
doing elemosynary work to see what wealth of
the spirit of charity is in this town. Richmond
contains all the necessary materials for COM
plete and efficient organization of outdoor relief
The chief difficulty in the present situation
is the confusion which results from all the many
activities that must now work without the aid Of
central control This was clearly demonstrated
during the past holidays when distributing COM
mittees of the various lodges and churches dis
covered that many families had been helped sew
eral times while other families had been over
looked completely.
This indiscriminate and disorganized method
of giving assistance is certain to do more harm
than good. Expert charity workers in other
cities are unanimous in saying that the pauperi-
zation which always results from unorganized
and hap-hazard giving more than counter-balanc-
es the good that is DONE
The one essential thing for the efficient ad-
ministration of charity in city is to have all
such activities under the direction of a central
trained head This, we trust, is the ultimate goal
of the present movement in Richmond.
But to accomplish this, it is first necessary to
learn all the facts about the city. For this sur
vey is necessary, an exhaustive and detailed de-
scription both of the needs and agencies which
now exist to satisfy those needs.
It is this survey which the Commercial Club
plans to manage The city is fortunate in having
it do so because there is other organization in
the community so we'll equipped for such work.
But it is only this preliminary work that the
Commercial Club will undertake. The perma-
nent organization and regular administration of
charity in the city, according to the present plan,
will be placed in the hands of professional who
will be unhampered by alliances with any organi-
cation and who will have free hand and COM
plete authority to carry the work in that bust
ness-like fashion which is so much needed.

There will be an important meeting
OF the board of directors this evening
In the clubrooms. All members are
requested to be present.
Post G held one of the most inter-
esting meetings in it's history last
Saturday night Many matters of i'm
pOrtance were settled, among which
was the improvements of the club
rooms. The post ordered the board of
directors to make such changes as
1t deemed necessary. From the sug-
gestions made at the meeting it Is a
foregone conclusion that Post G head
quarters, when remodeled will be the
finest T. p. A. clubrooms in the en-
tire organization. The improvements
to be made will be begun at once, SO
as to have everything finished by the
convention dates.
A. D. Gorrell of Marion, state presi-
dent of the Indiana division of the
T. p. A., was in the city and visited
Secretary Quigg at his Office during
the past week. Mr.. Gorrell expects a
large delegation from his home city
to be in attendance at the Richmond
convention.
At the post meeting last Saturday
night Elmer e. Lebo was unanimously
Endorsed by Post c as candidate for
reelection as state director. Mr.. Lebo
has made an excellent officer, has
given much of his time to the affairs
of the organization and is entitled to
another term of office.

Upon his masterpiece entitled Fate"
And dreamed sweet dreams, the while he ate,
And gave his work, his soul his strength and tears
His task complete at last, he had fears
The world would not pronounce his genius great;
But poor, unknown-pray, what could he create?
The mad world laughed and not praise, but jeers
Impelled to ask wherein his work wrong

But whose brow wreathed the bays of Fame;
The master gazed upon the picture long;

And signed the canvas with his own great name!
