are involved in the greatest war the world has
ever seen.
The spirit shown by the men who brought
Dr. Jordan to Richmond should be emulated. The
city owes vote Of thanks to the leaders in the
movement. It well behooves the citizens OF q
municipality to appreciate good movement
and to praise those who are it's leaders.
Lately, it seems, many men have come to
realize that they owe the city duty and that full
success in life does not depend upon the time and
devotion one pays to his own private business.
The measure Of success can often be seen in the
unselfish devotion to noble cause, in the hours
given to public enterprise, and in the endeavor to
make life brighter and happier for the less fortu-
nate
The time and money which public spirited
men spend for the public welfare is not misspent,
neither is it unappreciated, even if the public
does not seem to appreciate it with many loud
spoken words Of praise. There are hundreds Of
men and women who refer to the generous bene-
factions Of public spirited men and women and
who do not stint the credit such men deserve.
The men who brought Mr.. Jordan to Rich
mond did public service and deserve to be COM
plimented and thanked.
