WHAT WAS HE WORTH?

From the Muncie Press.
Three four years ago prominent died and
every hand the question asked, What he

dies.
But somehow this question struck the writer queery,
for it happened that this who had died quite
Wel-or we'll most persons knew him.
Now what he worth? Who could tell that? OF
the appraisers could tell pretty we'll
how wealthy he was which what the inquirers
meant, but who in all the world could know what this
WORTH?
All his life he had been the friend of young had
helped of them the rough places in life, had
lent money who wished school, had back
ed others in business and he had given to the He
had taken his relatives who without and had
helped them the comforts Of life and he had given
his and services to the sick and the despairng
His worth consisted in all these things-things that
the appraisers of his estate would itemize in making
their return the court Yet it of these things
that his neighbors and friends asked they
about him after his death
They only knew, here and there OF the really worthy
Things he had done and they learned about them

ington and Boston should arouse us to our senses.
For five years the world has been full of disorder
and turbulence. We need tranquility and peace
in political and industrial spheres We have
had enough of war and violence.
In this nation authority rests in our own
hands. We have Incorporated the principle of
authority in our government, in the laws we have
made and the men we have elected to enforce the
statutes The time is here when we must assert
this principle. We cannot permit the principle of
authority to weaken, nor our love for order and
discipline to grow lax. If we do, anarchy and
destruction will be the consequences.
How can we attain this? Only by a deter
n1ination to maintain order at all costs, by will
power that will not brook and tolerate lawless
ness. This respect for law and adherence of
violence must be asserted unflnchingly, for the
supremacy of the law was established by
selves and every brazen manifestation of lawless-
ness is an attack on our own democracy.

The Art Exhibit

The first exhibit of paintings at the Richmond
Art Gallery for this season will open this evening
under auspices of the Richmond Art association.
The displays of paintings of various artists held
at the art gallery shows that Richmond is recog-
nized as city in which reside persons who love
beautiful things.
The exhibits draw large attendance, repre-
sentative of all walks of life 1t is highly graft
flying to know that love of art is not confined to
restricted number of our citizens but is general.
This unquestionably be traced to the Efforts of
the Art association in the many years of its ex-
istence to popu]arize art. Children are taught
in the schools how to appreciate good pictures
and their instructions are communicated to their
parents who manifest interest and increase their
knowledge by attending the exhibits with their
sons and daughters.
Perhaps the greatest JOY which the members
Of the Art association experience at exhibit
is to see this general attendance of our citizens.
1t proves that their efforts are appreciated and
that love of the beautiful is spreading through
out the community. 1t is safe to predict that a
large number will be attracted to the present ex-
hibits of paintings by Mr.. Grafton and Adams

sire to find and help Nell and her
grandfather.
A strange gentleman appears in the
story in search of the same person
ages. He proves to be the old grand
fathers younger brother, who has liv
ed abroad many years. He has made
much money and has returned to share
it with his aged relative, who has now
disappeared. After one unsuccessful
journey, he found out where Nell and
her grandfather were living. Taking
Kit and Mr.. Garland along, the young
er brother Travelled to the village
They arrived there late at night, but
Kit discovered the old man at once
He asked for Nell, and her grand
father said she was asleep. Then the
younger brother, Mr.. Garland, the
schoolmaster, and an old man who had
befriended Nell entered.
Poor Nell had been dead for two
days. There upon her little bed she
lay Al rest. No sleep so beautiful and
calm, so free from trace of pain, so
fair to look upon. She seemed a crea-
ture fresh from the hand Of God, and
waiting for the breath of life; not
one who had lived and suffered death -
Worn out by her long journey. her
lack Of food, her exposure, and the
anxiety for her grandfather, she had
never recovered from the strain, al
though her last days had been spent
in perfect peace and JOY.
The old man was found dead upon
her grave not long afterward.
How Kits honesty had once been
questioned because of a plot laid
against him by the wretched Quilp
and his lawyer; how his innocence
had been proven through the testi-
mony of he lawyers servant maid, a
starved. abused child; how the hum
orous Dick Swiveller assisted in free
ing Kit; and how he was rewarded;
how the horrible dwarf met welI-de-
served death by drowning-all these
side-lights to the main story of Little
Nell are told in Dickens own inimit-
able way. But they must ever be re-
garded as mere accessories in the de-
velopment of the short life history OF

The Omaha Disturbance

The Omaha riot adds another incident to the
list of disturbances that have unsettled our NUM-
cipal life and outraged respect for law and
order. Press dispatches prove conclusively there
vas no occasion for the lynching and rioting
The crime for which the man was lynched was a
revolving one, but there was every indication
that he would have paid the supreme penalty
if the law had been permitted to take it's ordinary
course Hence, the guilt of the men who precip-
tated the riot and lynching is deep one and calls
for extreme punishment.

Retain the Board of Works

The movement to dismiss the board of works
should be defeated decisively by the city council
No cogent reasons for abandoning the board have
opponent is no proof that the board has lost its
usefulness.
The board of works has proved it's value in
the years of its existence. It has saved the city
thousands Of dollars in the administration of the
functions assigned to it by law. 1t has been an
effective check on unwise expenditures. 1t has
transacted many important pieces of business
for the city and prepared them for final ratifica-
tion by the city council.
No city of the size of Richmond can be de-
prived of board of works without working in
Jury to the municipality and to the taxpayer. 1t
serves as check on the city council, and on the
other hand its actions subject to revision
and final determination by the council.
The opponents of the board of works are
strangely silent regarding their causes for it's
dismissal. A review of the accomplishments of
the board reveals nothing that has been detri-
mental to the welfare of the community. No
shadow has been cast on the integrity of the
members They have used good judgment in the
administration of their duties and have sought
to serve the best interests of the community.
The abolition of the board without good cause
is folly It will not serve to stabilize conditions
in Richmond but may work havoc in the admin
jstration of our municipal affairs. If some tan
gible object were to be gained, the opponents of
the board might have an argument. But the
very lack of a good ground for the dismissal
Of the board is substantial proof that the board
has done its duty.
The factor of economy is not convincing one
The members of the board save the taxpayers
much more money annually than they receive in
salaries. The time and attention they give to
city affairs is reflected in the management of the
manifold activities of the municipality.
Good citizenship stands for the maintenance
Of the board of works. 1t does not want the
board abolished. 1t believes the board has a
municipal function to perform and has been
faithful to its trust. 1t frowns upon disposition
10 abolish the board on superficial grounds.
