When svQs Anti
Liquor Feeling
Started Here?

The prohibition movement in Wayne
county and Richmond, which ended
successfully on April 1, 1918, started
in the city almost the same time the
selling of liquor was started.
Vigorous opposition to the opening
Of tavern in Richmond in 1907 was
expressed by Jeremiah Cox. one of
the fathers of "Smithville," as it was
then called, and the majority of citi-
zens were Friends who opposed the
liquor traffic. The saloons grew and
fourished in spite Of opposition, how
ever.
The damage once done, however, it
was 10 years before any organized op-
position was formed, but in 1926 news
papers published the six Sermons on
Intemperance," by the Rev. Lyman
Beecher of Boston, father Of Henry
Ward Beecher.
In 1910, a society of men calling
themselves the Washingtonians was
organized, and gave impetus to TEN
perance movements. There was then
no licensing of saloons fought for by
this society. When the licensing was
put into effect, the number of saloons
and the amount of liquor sold, were
decreased.
Fountain City, instead of Richmond,
however, was the most determined OF
the early communities against liquor.
In 1880 a league of citizens, headed by
Eli Coffin, not only stopped the sale
OF liquor but kept 1t out Of the town
for thirty years.

Getting Back on Their Feet

1t is popularity believed that the European
nations are bankrupt and will have very diff.
cult time to revise their finances so as to meet
the obligations incurred by the great war. These
nations owe the United States about nine and d
half billion dollars. Some people believe that
they will never be able to pay it back, but this is
groundless.
Economists who have made a study of the
industrial and commercial strength of the Euro
pean nations are inclined to believe that they will
be able to get back upon their feet in a compare
lively short time, perhaps faster than most OF
us imagine they will
The wealth of a nation does not consist solely
OF dollars and cents but is to be found in the
spirit and will power of it's people If an able
and industrious man never stayed broke, nation
need not stay in this condition. The European

ination questions come out from the
central convent at Gutenberg, near
Brookville, Ind, and are sent out to

They are graded there and the final

The Oliver P. Morton Picture

Readers of the Palladium were informed yes
terday by Oran Perry, who is widely known in
this county, that he proposes to place picture
of Oliver P Morton, Wayne county's illustrious
son, in the base of the Soldiers and Sailors monu-
rnent at Indianapolis. He is asking for SIS to
pay for the enlargement and framing of photo
graph of Governor Morton which is in his pos
session.
Most citizens know that statue Of Morton
stands in front of the State House The idea of
placing his picture in the base of the monument
is a good one. The sum of SIS is so insignificant
y small that it should be raised in this city within
forty eight hours. The Palladium has opened a
fund for this purpose. 1t asks all public spirited
persons to make contribution to this cause.
Oliver p Morton is one of the great figures
in Indianas history, in fact one of the great
characters of the Civil War period with re-
nown that is national in extent. In the darkest
hours of the Civil War it was Oliver P. Morton
who stood steadfast by the side of Lincoln en-
couraging him by word and deed. Our fathers
answered the appeals of Morton. Thousands of
them enlisted in the army and other thousands
lent him support at home
The picture will be only small token of our
appreciation and esteem The movement which
Mr.. Perry has started is worthy of our support

trary to expectations, only be fairly under way.
New conditions will involve new and tremendous
OUTLAWS. As the case stands, throughout large
sections, even passenger service is not wholly
provided for On the favorite runs within
radius of $50 miles of populous centers. there are
times when cars are compelled to move in slow
procession. The double-track roads, in the height
of the season, are often utilized even far from
popuous centers, to the point Of congestion
Where motor trucks slip in, to say nothing of
horse drawn vehicles, blockades are inevitable
In 1899, the number of automobiles in the United
States was 10000; in 1910, the number had
grown to 100000; in 1918, it had increased to
100000; in 1920, it is estimated, the number
will exceed 100000. In figuring on highway
capacity this radio of growth must be considered.
Motor trucks are multiplying on the highways;
within five years, either the main travelled roads
will be clogged with mixed traffic or the motor
trucks must, in the meantime, be provided with
track room of their own.
Nor will mere road construction meet the re-
quirements of the times. The roads now in ex.
istence must, rule, be widened, and all new
roads should be of at least twice the present
standard width, in order to meet the needs of
decade hence.
The time is, apparently, near when most of
the passenger and lighter freight traffic of the
country will be by motor cars Nothing is now
delaying this development in transportation save
improvement in road construction. The better
the highways the less the strain upon pleasure
cars and trucks. The time when the strain, or
friction, will be reduced to minimum and when
it will be as easy to move heavy loads asphalt
as it is to move them over steel rails is with
in measurable distance. Given the essential road
quality and the essential highway capacity, the
development of motor traffic to extraordinary
will come quickly, and in the natural
course of things.

Since the abolition of German from
the curriculum of st. Andrews school
year ago last February, great stress
has been laid on the work in the de,
partments of history, civics and Eng
lish Latin has also been presented
on a larger scale.
No other foreign language has been
introduced in the place of German,
but the civics classes have taken on
new Importance and interest, and cur
rent events have been introduced
more intensively into the history
work, according to Joseph M. Richter,
principal of the school,
When German was dropped from
the courses offered at the school it
was done from patriotic motives to do
away with any pro-German interest
which the teaching of it might de-
velop. st. Andrews school came to a
definite decision in regard to this
even before some public schools did,

our church and school," explains Mr..

part of the services were conducted
in that language formerly.

by the pupils. They are required to
consider what they read from the
many standpoints of the work they
have had in the previous three years.
For instance fourth year high

Wider Highways

The subject of road building has received
much attention in the last year in all parts of
the country The enactment of highway law by
the Indiana legislature has brought the question
before the minds of the Hoosiers in very prac-
tical manner.
The Christian Science Monitor calls attention
to certain phase of highway construction which
should be kept in mind in the building of roads
that are travelled much and are direct links be-
tween large cities. 1t says editorially:
Private capital aided by state, county and
sometimes by municipal bonds, built the railways
of the United States. The federal government
voted subsidies to certain of the Pacific lines.
Public land grants were Of immense help to rail-
way enterprises in the sparsely settled parts of
the country. The taxpayer, however, directly
or indirectly, must furnish highways for motor
transportation. Motor transportation is yet only
in it's infancy but even now, in the passenger
branch alone, it is often overtaXing the capacity
CT the roads. There are not enough highways
in the more popuous parts Of the country to keep
up with the demands of motor traffic; or to put
it in another way, the existing highways have
not sufficient capacity to accommodate that
traffic.
A few years ago. a road wide enough to ac-
commodate a car going one way, with occasional
opportunities for turnouts was deemed suffi-
Gent in the remoter restions. Remoter sections
have, in recent years, grown fewer. No part of
the country that is penetrated by good roads
may properly be termed remote The cost
of upkeep of the single-wagon-track road, few
years ago, was about all the community or county
taxpayers, in the less populous regions felt they
could bear. But upon further consideration they
decided that they could do more. The demands
for better surfacing and for new highways, how
ever increased so rapidly that the states took
the building and maintenance of main highways
largely in hand. Nearly every state in the Ameri-
can Union has now its state highway commission
Some of these commissions have already spent
millions of dollars on road Improvement; others
are now spending millions The federal govern
ment will soon have available fund of 00,00O,-
600 to be distributed among the several states in
aid of highway construction projects.
In short, highway building has made, and is
making, great progress but this activity, too, is
only in it's infancy. When the expenditures now
provided for shall have been exhausted, the work
