MUST UNITE AND STAND
AGAINST SOCIAL EVIL
Rev. John w. Shackford Urges Men
to- BE Voters-Eyfl Too Long
Condoned.

A strong appeal to all men who
are eligible. to at once qualify them
selves as voters and to perform their
civic duty at the polls-''standing
unitedly and persistenly for the
overthrow OF evil and for the estap-
lishment OF the foundations of So
ciety in righteousness and honor and
purity'---was made in the Broad
Street Methodist Church yesterday
morning by It's pastor. Rev. John w.
Shackford. The sermon topic was
Social Redemption"
DIR. Shackford declared that the
question now before the city is a
very much broader and more funda-
mental one than that of official guilt
or innocence of any OF several men
under investigation.
"In the face Of the facts that have
bee Wrought to light OF the fragrant
and persistent violation of the law,
and Of the growth and spreading
abroad of vice in many quarters OF
the city" he said, the question is
whether Richmond shall regard this
situation lightly and by its indiffer-
ence to this black plague. condone
it in the future"
II would have you understand" he
continued, that with the knowledge
Oh the I8CtS tIidt iHuiitTtHGc On tflis
subject must henceforrh be regarded
in the light of social crime. Those
moral people. who, with false
prudery. are content 10 let this So
cial cancer eat out the very heart OF
our civilization rather than cry aloud
against it. and seek by every mean
to protect the rising generation from
its unspeakable ruin. cannot be ac-
quilted of their share of response
bility.
"whe nthe public becomes aroused
OF public evil. then the public is
responsible II that evil be allowed to
continue. A critical hour has ar
rived in the history OF Richmond. 1t
Is unthinkahle that her citizens
should stand for things as they are.
They must speak, and must speak in
no uncertai ntones.
"But whatever the verdict of the
present inquiry" he concluded this
Is not the end, but the beginning of
great fight. An evil that has been
neglected and condoned as long as
the one in question has cannot be
cured in day. But lei the forces or
evil not imagine that this Is a spas
modic upheaval that is going to blow
over In a few weeks II Is the VOL
canic rumhlings of an awakening So
cial conscience regarding this ancient
evil that. in its full outburst. Is 60
ing to shake this city ard every other
city Of the civilized world"

Cute Little White
Beribboned Piggy
axes All Honors
operative Education Associat ton
and Makes Hit.

Prolonged applause punctuated the
speech at frequent intervals, but Miss
Douglas Wright isn't a bit proud.
Gales of merriment swept over the
audience. but the organizer of School
and Civic Leagues and official spokes-
woman for the Cooperative Education
Association has no dreams of being
known as a feminine Bill Nye.
For Miss Wright modestly confesses
that the applause was not for her
speech and that 1t was not her with
cisms that brought the laughter.
1t was the pig.
1t all happened at Peters Creek,
r.. F. D.. Salem, Roanoke County, vir-
ginia Miss Wright was making a
speech ut a meeting OF the School and
Civic League meeting. At the same
time the league was preparing to rafiie
of little white pig, with pink nose
and feet and bedecked with pink rib
bons. The pig occupied one side Of
the platform while the speaker occu-
pied the other. The speechmaking be-
gan, with the crowd dividing its at
tention between the two attractions.
Coming to the first nag station in her
speech. the speaker paused for the
usual applause. The pig grunted. The
applause came. Mixed with II WAS
laughter and then 1T became all
laughter. Inc pig naU captured Hls
audience. and thereafter at the proper
points in the speech the anticipated
grunt came. Encores were refused by
his porcine majesty. but his regular
turns were done without a hitch. The
pig was a great hit--so was the speech.
There Is tale about that pig which
not only amused the villagers but
helped build them a schoolhouse. A
farmer OF the neighborhood felt un-
able to subscribe to the building fund.
but promised that II the committee
would help him sell his hogs he would
donate the finest in the bunch. He was
taken at his word and the white pig
fell to the School and Civic League. 1t
was placed on the platform at the
ensuing meeting for exhibition pur-
poses only, to be raffied of later Its
participation in the program during the
progress of Miss wright's speech was
premature, In the raffie the pig
brought $40. and was won by the
son OF the richest man In the COM
munity. The father. by the way, had
opposed the purchase of the lot ed-

SO softened his heart that ne has with

Ministers Urge Men to Vote
DUTY Of THE HOUR IS
TO QUALIFY TO VOTE
Issue of Good Government and Pure
Public Conscience With Voters,
Says DIR. Maciachlan.

Material progress matters little;
educational growth is of small avail.
II coupled with both of these there
is not a genuine moral and spiritual
life in the people" declared Rev. II.
d. c. Maclachlan, D. D.. pastor of the
Seventh Street Christian Church, to a
large congregation there last night.
His theme was "Foursquare: The City
God Plans" and the lesson it taught
Is that the immediate duty OF the
hour is to qualify to vote.
The city lieth foursquare; the
length and breadth and height OF 1t
are equal An impossible city-geo-
graphically but spiritually the kind
OF city ID wants us all to build"
said DR.. Maclachlan referring to his
text.
Stating the three dimensions. he
submitted. as length, the material
prosperity OF it's people: as breadth,
intellectual attainment and aesthetic
value, and. as height, aspiration-the
moral and spiritual side of a city s
life.
we make much OF the historic
associations Of this city" said DR..
Maclachlan. I'VE have preserved the
last remnants of the defenses OF Rich
mond; but OF what use Is that If we
let the enemy in to the secret places
OF our souls?
Richmond cannot afford to ignore
the report of the Vice Commission,
one of the most earnest and compe-
tent bodies that has ever sat 10 con-
slider a civic problem. If what
that report asserts be true-and In
Its main lines II has not been shaken
conditions are bad enough to Justify
the work Of the commission and toe
bad for the citizens of Richmond to
sit own with folded arms"
DIR. Mac'1chlan strongly DISAGREED
with those who would have tho who ie
thing flushed up" declaring: I'VE
have caught glimpse OF the enemy's
skirt. What we want Is more light
10 gee his face"
but the future of this ctty-and
this is my last word-depends upon
the voters Of the city. In civic ne
well az in all other human affairs we
reap as we SOW. II we SOW civic
Intelligence, moral earnestncss al \
