urged a copy of the platform fol-
lows.
Preamble
We, the Socialist party of Rich
mond. in this time of national and In.
ternational crisis reafirm our adher-
cnce to the principles Of international
brotherhood and endorse the plat
forms of the Socialist party Of the
state of Indiana and of the United
States.
We, as socialists realize that our
aims may only be accomplished by
the overthrow of the capitalist wage
system and the establishment Of an in
ternational brotherhood of man.
socialist city administration in
Richmond would not mean socialism
in Richmond, but 1t would mean that
the working man would at least get a
fair show. A socialist administration
would guarantee that you would not
meet policemans club when you
went on strike.
As working program We submit
tho following to the voters Of Rich
mond and pledge our elected candi-
I.t1 % ,A,A to- >hc> - L.
pledge.
Municipal Ownership
We demand the requirement, by the
municipality at the earliest possible
time of all public service corporations,
such as gas. water and street car cor
porations. as a means OF reducing the
nresent high cost of living and also
as means of bringing factories to
cur city. $751;.
We demand the widening OF mu-
nicipal coal yard. to reduce the ex-
orbitant price Of coal
Industrial Demands
The socialist party recognizes the
right of labor to organize and shall.
" victorious in this election, encour-
age city employees to form themselves
into labor organizations.
In keeping with the above, no city
cmploye shall be asked to work more
than eight hours per day. nor at less
than the prevailing union wage.
We demand the building of public
improvements under the direct super
vision OF the city. without submitting
The same to contractors.
Public Charity
Realizing that the capitalist system
causing as It does many diseases and
unemployment, makes it necessary for
some system OF charity to be devised
20 help these unfortunate victims Of
me competitive system. and that as
II has been administered in Richmond
IS a sham. the socialist party demands
that charity bureau be made part
OF the police department.
Enforcement Of Law
We pledge ourselves to strict en-
forcement of the laws, and the imme-
diate repeal OF city ordinances that
rove impra cticable after fair trial.

"France."

We feared. that no book would bt
written in the great war that would
do justice to the people and spirit
of France. But here is the volume
France" by Laurence JerrOld
Beautifully bound, illustrated, cover
stamped with the French cOat-of-
arms, with many illustrations in
color, the volume itself in mere mat
ter of bOOkmaking is worthy of the
splendid spirit of the one great re-
public of Europe.
1t is more than that, however. 1t
contains a sympathetic study of the
French republic and people by an
author whose life in France and
whose previous books give him right
to speak. The chapters deal with
the French Spirit, France Among the
Nations, The Organization and Au-
thOrity of Government, Colonial
France, Arms in Peace and War,
Churches, Farmers, Owners, The Soil,
The Cities, Men and Women, Letters,
The Great Names of Modern France
In the photography is given a list of
some of the most useful and easily
accessible books about modern
France.
France is more one country and
the French are more one nation than
any other country or nation in
Europe" writes Jerrold. Diverse by
her position, France was also des-
tined clearly by her position to harbor
a quickly and closely united peo-
pie. Glass distinctions in
French speech are perceptible to a
foreigner only if he has lived years
of French life. The newcomer may
quite we'll take shop-girl for a
duchess, judging by her speech.
The French spirit is a passion for
national unity. The French po-
litical mind has a passion for logic,
regularity, symmetry and conference
in the arrangement of the social fab
ric. The deep French instinct
of self-preservation shows itself in
its social and economic arrange
ments. / think there is a spe-
cifically French mind more than there
is any other specifically national
mind. French philosophy has
built, not destroyed. The French
burgeOis who has a stake, more or
less large, in the country is all faith
in life. The French have the

PLACE IN THE Sun

A unique Interpretation was placed
on the phrase, "a place in the sum-
by the Rev. Robert Nelson Spencer of
Kansas City in the baccalaureate ad-
dress to the University. A place in
the sun goes to the nation that is
permeated with the spirit of self
sacrifice-the spirit of the sun-the
Reverend Spencer believes.
Just as the sun year after year
burns with intense heat in order that
it may warm, cheer and make pOssi-
BILE our existence on this earth, so a
nation that really has place in the
sun will be one that acts for the
broader things of humanity in the
spirit of service.
History has shown how this place
cannot be attained Military strength
has failed in this respect Rome's
military forces reigned supreme for
years. but today the sun still shines
and the empire of the Caesars has no
place there. Babylon was rich as
Croesus," but riches alone avail
nothing. Likewise learning for
learning's sake fails, and one may
point to Greece, the great intellectual
nation. Sheer numbers of people will
not attain to this place, for China
has 400 millions. The great war is
showing that autocracy, although
kings do claim to rule by right of the
One who controls the sun, will meyer
obtain this place for country. The
sun is democratic. The smallest
plant in some far away corner of the
earth-a Belgium or a Serbia-re-
ceives the kind touch of the sun just
as do the mighty oaks.
A real place in the sun must be
lasting, and nothing is so eternal as
the ideals of the Man of Galilee
America can point to many instances
of unselfish service and may we'll
profit by the lessons of the past The
United States has riches, numbers, in
tellectual strength, industry and en-
ergy. all of which help to make a
nation great. But these alone will
not attain the place in the sun. That
which we have we must use in unset |
fish service.

THINGS AS THEY ARE

One of the things that makes Lloyd
George one of the worlds greatest
figures today is the fact that he is
not afraid to tell the British people
the truth about the war. With the
announcement of ruthless submarine
warfare by Germany, Lloyd George
announced to the world that it would
hurt England and that greater econ
omy was necessary.
Contempt for the Teuton power or
secrecy in the economy of resources
probably would have proved poor
craftsmanship. For the courage to
let the truth be known has back of
it the confidence that the country is
equal to the task of meeting the sit
uation. AS Lincoln said, Let the
people know the truth and the coun-
try is safe"
American people above all others
should know things as they are from
now on in the war. for we are a ma
tion of free thinking people. Any
thing else would be undemocratic. 1t
would be an imitation of the auto
cratically colored public mind of
Germany today. The truth both about
the conduct and the progress of the
war must be told the people. 1t will
cause the people to have that most
necessary confidence in their lead
ers, just as Britain now looks to
Lloyd George. 1t will cause a greater
response to any call for service.
whether better or worse. let's have
things as they are.

against that of the English. The

the French spirit. Patriotism,

Down where the storms in the cOrdage rattle,
And the seaguls wheel in the roaring squal
Eric the Red went forth to battle.
High-hearted he when the spring broke free:
He launched his ship in the icy waters
Leaping out to the open
For his hardy heroes, of fighting fain

And in rushing wind and wave sun-smitten
With the gold shields CLINT the ships edge litten
The dripping blades swept the sea-
Ho! How the dragon-prow dips under
The bright waves break the rowers strain
And the men drink deep of the ocean wonder
The sharp salt spray and the pillows thunder
The crashing seas she lifts again.

The Viking host drives from home
Young at heart with the hope of punder
Hot at heart for the foemen slain

Helen, Wonder of the World
Watches from the walls of Troy
Against whose stubborn pride is hurled
The Pride of Hellas, to destroy
The glories of an ancient king
On trodden sand the black ships lie
Far out their glittering armies swing
Across the windy plains, and high
The din of battle runs, and ring
The clamors of the gods cry
Achilles in his chariot whirled
And Diomedes shouting by,
And Hector, loved of bright Apollo
Whom the gods power might not save
Nor his own valance, from the grave.
Old is the tale, forever young,
AS first to the Acheans sung
Still do our eager hearts rejoice
To hear the trumpet's snarling voice
Still burns in men that golden fire
At vision of worlds desire,
Immortal Helen where she stands
Holding kingdom in her hands
With crosses blazoned on their Shields
The knights rode out one ancient May,
Spring lept up in the laughing fields
Fair flew their futtering pennons gay.
Hope alight in the blood had they
Pride and joy of Paladn
Ardent each his lance to weigh
There were souls to and the foe to slay
And the holy sepulchre to win?
Then had heaven vouchsafed sign
With eyes for the vision rode they then.
They drank the sunlit air like wine;
Adventure beckoned over sea,
And steel on steel along the line,
Rang, as against the Saracen,
Went forth the flower of chvalry
So once was war, when flew on every breeze
The banners of those joyous companies
Who fought for glOry-whom romance drew on
very splendor. shining the sun.
But We, silent heroes, who endure
All things, who pay the heavy forfeiture
Of wrong not yours, and alien wickedness,
Who, lOathing warfare, wage it none the less,
To whom the God of Battle shows his face
No longer splendid, no more touched with grace,
But as the stony horror of that head
Whose look was death, itself creature dead
How may our hearts repay, our love requite
The high and lonely valor of this fight?

A PROSPEROUS BANK
BatesviIle Institution, Only Six Years
Old, A Recognized Leader.

The Union Bank & Trust Co., Or
ganized at Batesville six years ago
with a capital of $4,000, now has
deposits amounting to more than a
million dollars. This is perhaps an
unparalleled record among banks of
that age. To build such a business
from the ground up, against the
strong competition of old banks of
long established regulations, is a
magnificent bestowal of public con-
fidence in the new institution.
Much of the credit for the splen-
did growth of the Union Bank &
Trust Co., is due to the genial and
deservedly popular cashier, c. D
Metcalf, who was reared and educa.
ted in Evening Shade, Mr.. Metcalf
has long since established a reputa-
ton for strict integrity and sound
business ability, which is a source
of qualification to his many friends
here.
Along in this connection it is in
teresting to note how the banking
business is receiving the attention
and energies of members of the
Metcalf family. c. D. Metcalf is
cashier of the Union Bank & Trust
Co. at BatesvilIe; A. M. Metcalf is
cashier of the Farmers Bank at
Hardy; W. N. Metcalf is cashier of
the Bank of Evening Shade; j. NJ
Metcalf is cashier of the Bank of
Black Rock; Miss Elsie Metcalf has
a position with the Lasker-Morris
Banking Co. of Little Rock; while
the father, }. R. Metcalf, is vice
president of the Hardy bank.

REMEDY FOR HOG CHOLERA
Pulverized Copperas And SuIphuric
Acid, Col. Abernethy's Recipe.

A good many years ago the late
Col. j. L. Abernethy, who is we'll
remembered by hundreds of Sharp
county people, gave the Record for
publication this remedy for hog
cholera, which we again publish in
the hope that it may be of benefit
to some of our readers:
One-half pound of pulverized
copperas and one ounce Of sulphur
ic acid. Put these in gallon jug
of water, and shake well before u.s.
ing: Dose: One tablespoonful for
each hog in swill once a day for a
week, then twice a week for several
weeks.
Col. Abernethy stated that this
remedy had been known to cure
numerous cases of hog cholera, and
that it is an excellent preventative
of the disease.
There are remedies and remedies,
but the only safe and sure preven-
tative against hog cholera is vac
cination. This country must thor
ouehly use that means of preven-
ton before the enormous cost of
hog cholera each year is saved to
the people.
