light plant was a wise one, irrespective of the
fact that the suggestion, even if it had been ac-
cepted would have been contrary to law
The plant now is in the best physical con-
dition in which it has been for many years. Long
delayed repairs and requirements are being made
and the installation of new machinery will enable
the plant to give continuous service
AS has been pointed out repeatedly, the con-
dition of the plant became deplorable because
repairs had not been made in years past, and its
finances became impaired because the rates had
not been raised soon enough. These weaknesses
in its management have been remedied
Constant heckling and efforts to obstruct the
progress of the plant are neither encouraged nor
commended by the citizens, who are tired of
hearing charges that are not based on facts.
If some of the critics of the plant, instead of
trying to find fault for the mere purpose of
creating unrest and dissatisfaction, would turn
their minds to real constructive efforts the city
would be much better off.
The last report of the engineer of the Indiana
public service commission is indicative of the i'm
provements that have been made in the plant and
its finances. If bad conditions have been i'm
proved, and the plant is giving good service, the
reasonable and sensible thing to do is to be glad
of the change.
Mere malicious, destructive criticism whose
only aim is to make trouble and to embarrass the
city serves no good end. 1t neither improves
conditions in the plant nor rebounds to the well
fare of the taxpayers who own the plant.
What would be gained by transferring man.
agement of the utility into the hands of a nom
political commission? Reduction in rates cannot
be accomplished; repairs will not be rushed faster
than they are now; new machinery cannot be
installed faster.
If the city council and the board of works
want to confer favor on the citizens, let them
work harmoniously instead of seeking to foment
disturbances and trouble

The 1921 Chautauqua

The program for the chautauqua this year
leaves nothing to be desired both as to quality
and quantity, and patrons of that popular form
of recreation and instruction will not be disap-
pointed over the offerings
This form of entertainment has taken firm
hold not only on the residents of Richmond but
also on the residents of the neighboring towns
who annually conduct chautauquas Large audi
ences hear the speakers and singers, giving their
approval year after year by patronizing the ven
ture.
The chautauqua has become an institution of
American life. 1t attracts men, women and chill
dren, who find a never ceasing amount of pleas
ure in listening to the programs. The popularity
of the chautauqua is to be seen in another fea-
ture. Prominent men are glad to appear on the
circuits. True, they are paid well for their eff
fort, but if the chautauqua did not serve a good
purpose, noted men would not care to be identi-
fled with it.
The Richmond chautauqua has performed a
good service in this community for many years
offering wholesome amusement and good instruc-
ton to its patrons. This years program is no
exception, and the patronage undoubtedly will
respond to the offering

greet me every day, and genuine
affection lends mucn warmth to things
they say. They meet me on the beaten
track whenever go out, and clap me
gayly on the back, and call me Good
Old Scout. For have never made a
race for office, large or small; I've
never promised, with my face, to
make the taxes fall; I've never cried
that | would save the voters picay-

save our Precious Boons. I've never
pledged myself to ease the burdens
that men bear, or handed out the
cheeSy wheeZe where statesmen paw
the air. l sit beneath my tree and
vine and pen my rigmaroles; I've
never asked a friend of mine to help
me at the polls. So there is nothing
that abates the love men have for
me; for they are tired of candidates
and talk of Liberty. Our Sacred Bull
warks sometimes seem a topic rather
vain, and men require some other
theme to keep them safe and sane,
And when they see me lead my goat
along the village street, they know l
will not ask vote from any gent
meet. 1T is a comfort" people cry,
that there's one man in town who
never has the wish to try to hold an
office down" They look on me with
loving lamps, with lamps that shine
like stars, and borrow two-cent post
age stamps, and touch me for cigars.
