Every pastor Is under tremendous
responsibility. Indeed, not until every
convert be garnered into the church is
his work done. We pastors have been
trained to lead; we like to lead, but IN
this campaign we ministers are not to
lead, but to follow The most ludi-
crous thing In the world is a leader
without followers. When Mr.. Sunday
comes to Richmond to lead he may
depend on the Is cooperating minis
tiers to follow We have Ii in our
hearts to follow. We will follow under
any circumstances
Ministers Can Lead
at is a responsibility Of the pastor
to inspire his own people to follow.
l am persuaded as l look into this
splendid audience am reminded Of
the loyalty of the Christian people Of
this city It shows that the ministers
can lead their people.
1t is the responsibility of this city
to set the city on fire with Billy Sun
day. 1t is for us to inspire the laity.
Gladly. Loyalty will we lead.
ut is my conviction that no one
needs apologize for Billy Sunday.
Billy Sunday has been proved every
where he has gone. He is man touch
ed by the spirit of God. The ministers
of this city have invited him Your
presence here tonight seconds the mo-
ton. The responsibility is on the pas
| tors and laymen as burden bearers
This campaign can not be put across
without the hardest kind of hard work
We acknowledge the responsibility OF
inviting Billy Sunday and we are ready
to make any sacrifice to make the

us as we labor together in amity and

RANDOLPH BODIES
MEET TO CONSIDER
DRAINAGE OF ROADS
tBy Associated Press

FARMLAND. Ind, March Ia
meeting of civic organizations of Ran
dolph county, together with represent
alive farmers OF the locality, met with
A. II. Hinkle. chief engineer OF main
tenance for the state highway depart
ment. and other highway officials mere
today to complete steps for moving
back property fence lines and tele-
phone poles paralleling State road 81
Mr. Hinkle explained that one OF the
important requisites of state ROAD
building and maintenance is drainage,
and to do this his department must
have sufficient space on either side OF
the road in order to cut deep drain
bitches with a grader Much OF the
success of the road depends upon the
proper drainage of surface water from
it, ne declared.
The road is the main thoroughfare
between Winchester and Muncie. In
Randolph county there has been some
delay in removing fences. it was said
Highway officials expressed the hope
that landowners would cooperate with
them and expedite this work in order
that widening of the road may proceed
without interruption.
According to highway officials, 1t is
desired. that there be so feet between
the fence lines. The majority of prop
erty owners have complied with the
request of the commission Mr.. Hinkle
announced. IF land owners will con
slider the many accidents largely due
TO the enormous volume of automobile
travel these days over frequently mar
row roads, and the fact that roac
must be properly drained of surface
water as soon as possible after rain
am sure they will at once recognize
The necessity of helping the depart
ment widen the principally Travelled
highways and reduce this constan
menace to a minimum" Mr.. Hinkl'

Rev. Backus spoke next.
"A pessimist is one who bows his
head and says it can't be done An
optimist is one who smiles and says
it can be done, but lets George do it.
A peptomist is one who says it can be
done and does it. The pastors OF
Richmond are peptomists. The pas
tors and congregations are united in
this campaign, having a common hope
in Jesus Christ. We have a common
work-the grandest and hottest pur-
pose-that of winning the last man in
the city. We also have common

ged his shoulders.
Il am not a criminologist," he
served. Then, with a continental
bow, he turned toward Sergeant
Barry. 81 have, however, had the
honor of assisting our young friend
here on more than one noted case
in New York, and / have no doubt
that he will be successful in over
coming the difficulties connected
with this affair. The part of It
which seems most inexplicable to
me is that the other young lady
who shared the room with the vic
tim was not killed also; that she
suffered not even the slightest Ill
effect"
rs it possible, professor, that
/ the carbon monoxide gas might not

phere of the room itself but admin

means of some such thing as an
ether cone pressed down tightly
over her face?'
1t was Barry who spoke. The

| Quite possible; in fact, the only
way, if the windows had been left
/ open all night, as they were found
| in the morning. There was, / I'M
derstand, no trace of gas discern
ible in the air when the maid dis
covered the body?"
Not a bit" the sheriff interven-
| ed. But suppose somebody went
| in and closed all those windows in
the night and stuffed rags around
so as to make the room alright,
and then opened the windows wide
again as soon as they'd done their
work? 1t was blowing a gale all
night long; would there be any
odor of gas after the room had been
aired for several hours?"
! NO" Professor Semyonov ad
mitted. But you forget, my dear
sir, that the other young lady sle'S

"Humph!"
There was a sly significance in
/ the sheriff's ejaculation which made

fore he turned once more to the
/ professor.
Just what is carbon monoxide? ?"
he asked. How is it made or gen.
! Grated, and how obtainable by any
/ one who is not a chemist?"
| Carbon monoxide, roughly speak

and oxygen" Professor Semyonov
explained. you may observe 1t oc-

WHITTIER ARE WE DRIFTING

Associated Press dispatches printed in the Daily International yesterday described an open convention of bootleggers held in Seattle. Self confessed vioators of the federal law openly met and discussed the situation and decided to charge more for illicit booze, while police help lessly looked on and the news was spread broad cast across the nation.
 On this page today appears another Associated Press dispatch, which tells of purported deci- sion of the booteggers to aid the federal govern ment in suppressing narcotic traffic.
 The headline, the story, and most of all, the fact itself, is disgrace to the nation. The 18th amendment is taken about as seriously as Shakespeare would take Charlie Chaplin. <
 The statement is often made that those who want booze can get it any place in the United States. Is this prohibition?
 Has prohibition accomplished it's purpose, or has it merely deprived the drunkard of the OPEN saloon, the government of taxes, and paved the way for an army of crooks to get rich by selling the young, as well as the old, poisoned rotgut?
 Has it uplifted the morals, or has it brought on dissipation and wild parties and joyrides?
 The actual statistics one way or the other would be interesting.
 We'd like to know if we are getting anywhere! - Douglas International.

ONLY ONE RESERVATION


 The Sun is very much in favor of the extended terms of office, both county and state, which is sought by the proposed amendement to the state constitution, with but one exception and that is in the case of representatives in the house. Mak- ing their terms four years instead of two goes beyond any system we have heard of in any state. It is usual that state senators be elected for four years in order that one branch of the legislature may have holdovers as is done in the United States senate. It has always been held that the so-called lower house should come d- rect from the people every two years and it has always been called the popular branch" of gov enment. In most states the state and county officers are divided in order that about one-half go out every two years while the other half holds over By this system it is thought better results are obtained by having one-half of the offices filled by men with two years experience as to routine business, is of much value to the incom- ing officers newly elected. Arizona's state gov ernment was based on clean sweep every two years, except in the case of superior judges. It was bad system and an expensive one, especial ly so as to the value of services received from men new to the work in hand and who were compelled to put in much of their time in trying to make themselves popular for the next cleo tion.
