that the pike is much better high

during the past two years We have
had difficulty with the bridges because
irresponsible enemies OF the road have

an entirely different sort. 1t iB asked to give
Sooo,e0O to Richmond College, sum very
modest when compared with others it has
oeen asked for recently. Tho campaign
started on Monday and will last two weeks
1hat tho full amount will be subscribed there
can be little doubt, for it is a home institu-
tioT that Is asking it's homo people for
assistance, that it may grow greater than It
ALREADY is, and that its influence for good
may be redoubled. Money subscribed for the
benefit of this institution is not money that
goes away from Richmond, even from
those who give it. 1t really is an invest
ment from which the returns are manifold,
Tor the college spends in Richmond each year
far more than Richmond is asked to con-
tributes That is the business side of the
present campaign, and it is u sound one.
We're there strictly business side, it still
would be worthy and popular cause, not
alone because OF the educational prestige the
college gives to the city, but because of the
patriotism it showed when without hesitation
1t turned over its beautiful buildings and
grounds 10 the government to be used as a
hospital where returned soldiers might be re-
stored TO the health and strength they sac
rihced in the service OF the colors. With all
these reasons combined, the Richmond Col
