The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1920-06-24
BY JAMES MORGAN

The politicians who chose Millard
Fillmore to be President and the
political heir of Zachary Taylor build
ed better than they knew. They had
found "Old Rough and Ready" more
rough than ready. In the amiable,
facile and respectable time-server who
took his place they had smooth and
handy tool.
That was an ignominiOus era which
opened with the accession of Tyler
and closed with the inauguration of
Lincoln. All through it, the politicians
yes, the people, too-Were only
preparing the great tragedy Of 1868.
They foolishly thought they were
averting 1t but no one ever
escaped trouble by running away from
ii.
AS soon as the politicians saw that
the people were afraid of the slavery
question they began 10 prey upon the
popular fear While the Southern poll
ticians were frightening their constitu-
ents into the false belief that only by
expanding the territory of slavery and
increasing its political poWer-in their
hands, Of cOurse-could slavery be
saved, the Northern politicians spread
in the North the equally fallacious
idea that only by concessions, compro-
misses and by keeping still on the sub
ject of slavery could the Union be
saved.
The obvious truth was that unless
the North resisted at every step, slav-
cry would increase and spread. It was
equally true, on the other hand, that
slavery in the South never was in dan
ger because even today the North has
rot the three-fourths vote necessary to
amend the Constitution. The slave
States held the veto power and the
South still holds it.
With the Missouri Compromise in
1920. the slavery question was first
made football Of politics. 1t was re-
moved from the economic and moral
realm where it belonged and where. as
all enlightened Southerners originally
believed, it would be eventually solved
by peaceable, gradual emancipation.
The pretended settlement in the Mis-
souri, Compromise only aggravated the
problem. To stop the growing discus

pany. ~------.-..- .....-.. ..-.

water, director OF service for the com
mission, testified that exceptionally
poor service is being given by the
company in Indianapolis and in other
exchanges of the state.
Mr.. Wilson said that evidence intro
duced before the commission Indicated
a belief among patrons that the COM
pany is not doing all in it's power to
give satisfactory service.
Win Wait Three Months.
He declared that the company de-
sired to withdraw the petition and
make an effort to restore public con-
fidence in the organization. He added
that the matter of rates would be held
in allegiance for at least ninety days
TO show the public the good faith of
the company.
The collapse of the company's case
vas brought about by the testimony of
Mr.. Atwater. He was. placed on the
stand Tuesday evening and it is said
that, following the session, officials of
the company held an all-night confer
ence in an attempt to outline a course
of action which would save their case
Before the commission.
Testimony by Mr. Atwater continued
this morning and his revelations con-
corning the service and policy of the
company caused another hurried con-
ference of the telephone men at noon.

lowed soon after the afternoon session
began.

from the subject. That was easily
done by raising a furious outcry
against the foreigners. 1t is a familiar
ruse. Whenever any wrong among
ourselves is in danger of exposure, the
first thing that its yotaries do is to
attempt to change the subject by ap-
pealing to the primitive prejudice
against strangers. ~

a few years.

of so beds The institution is always
filed and for some time the trustees
have realized that it was entirely too
small to meet the demands made upon
it, Lack of funds, however, has pre-
vented the trustees from carrying out
any plans for enlargement.
But if Richmond, whose population
is steadily increasing and which has
several thousand more residents now
than at the time the hospital was built
is to have an institution which will
meet it's actual hospital requirements,
immediate action must be taken, it is
said, Notwithstanding high building
costs.
Plans Call for $50 Beds.
Tentative plans for the enlargement
of Reid hospital call for it's expansion
to a $50 bed institution. 1t is pro-
posed to build a wing to the hospital
building and to moderniZe both it's ar
rangement and equipment.
Under contemplated plans patients
who were not surgical cases could be
separated from the surgical cases A
maternity ward could be provided,
also a much needed isolation ward to
care for patients who contract contag-
ious diseases while under treatment
at the hospital.
1t is believed that the Pennsylvania
railroad company would be liberal
subscriber to the proposed building
fund, as there are always a number of
railroad cases under treatment.
Men and women who are interested
in the welfare Of Reid hospital do not
anticipate any difficulty in raising a
building fund for they believe Rich
mond people have an affeetionate re-
gard for the institution.
