THE OBLIGATIONS OF WEALTH i " 5L criticism of the way in which many wealthy people ;speh"3 their money, was made by Dean W. R. Inge of Eng- landTa noted clergyman now in America, in his lectures at Yale Divinity school. He complained of the vulgar and unso Iciaway in which many of these people act. The people of "great wealth hear a great deal of such criticism from their 0wn countrymen, and some of these critics would be just as Jselfish if they had the same money themselves. We too of ;ten overlook the fact that many of the millionaires have a IkeejMsense of responsibility for the way their money is lis ted. They have founded and are maintaining institutions Ithftt'are steadily relieving poverty, helping to keep young ipeoJJfe from going astray, and mitigating suffering But ;Dean Inge is right in feeling that there are many who seem ;to.fa8l'no obligation to use their money in a way helpful to ;the' community. Some may truly say of course, that their 'money is usefully employed by being invested in new enter prises, so that they can put people to work who were idle be 'forer; Of course those who do that do perform a very helpful Iservice. Yet conditions could be enormously improved, if ;money could be had more freely for certain remedial pur ;posesT If more of the wealthy people could only give gen erfitely to such objects, the pride and interest they would 'taltfeln these efforts would be worth infinitely more than the Ikick, Jhcy get out of mere pleasures. Those who waste their Imoney in foolish extravagance, are doing a thoughtless thing th4 ereates class bitterness, and threatens the security of our'institutions. Their failure to co-operate, and make some Return for the benefits they have received from their coun !try, must tend to create class consciousness, and help the bol shevistic element to promote their propaganda. LACK OF ADVERTISING KILLED THEIR TRADE E. L. Murduck, proprietor of Murduck Bros., for 18 "jrnrs a leading ladies' ready-to-wear store in Champaign, 111., declares that the chief reason for the recent failure of his business was due to his giving up newspaper advertising. He said in a signed letter in the Champaign News-Gazette: "Another contributing cause, and perhaps the greatest contributing cause, is the fact that four years ago our firm, bw-BUse we thought the rate was too high, withheld all ad vertising in the News-Gazette. '.'For two years we were without proper means of get ting messages about our store into the homes of our friends and buyers. The result was that they soon forgot us. We Iried other forms of advertising to supplant the News-Gazette, but we found none that was as effective. Our business continued on the downgrade. ..m" "After two years we saw the error of staying out of the Newd-Gazette. Arrangements were made again with the News-Gazette to carry Murduck Bros.' advertising into the homes of the community. The business began to thrive but it was too late. Seemingly our friends had forgotten us. The fault was ours. For too long a time w&had failed to re mind them about the splendid merchandise and values in owe store." United States Publisher.

VOSBURGH & WIARD Fancy Grocers Phone 515 CITY ASKED TO DECKING 0111 ST, BRIDGE County Judge Intimates Funds Will Be Held Up for Improvement LAW IS QUESTIONED Attorney Believes Court Can Be Compelled to Give City Road Money. Paul Clagxtone, manairer of the Western division of the Chamber of Commerce of lira Cnlted Slates was a speaker today before an af ternoon meeting of the Itoseliurg Chamber of Commerce. A large number of the members of the KOKebure; chamber met at Ibo I'mpqua hotel at 1:30 o'clock, at nirn timo Mr. t lantdone pre sented mutter or Inlereat relnting to the work of the national or ganization. He particularly stres sed the coming western conven tion to he twirl at Seattle during December of this year, and urged : me members ot the local Cham ber to arrange now to send a suit- i able delegation to represent the commercial body of this city. "Tim Western Division", Mr. , Clagslnne stated, "Includes eleven of the western slates. Hawaii. The t'hllllptnri, and Alaska. ' The na tional organization has divided Into four district, eastern, west ern, central and soutlrern. this division being for the purpose of ! getting a closer Insight into the problems of each of those lonill lies. "A strictly national organiza tion cannot feel so deeply the im portance of many of the questions which are vital lo many swttons. For instance the problem of re forctallon is one in which the west is deeply Interested, tor upon Its successful solution lies much children.

At Ihe last western con vention this problem, together with a general program on agri culture, shipping and kindred to pics, were thoroughly tuveMtcat eil. and a plan outlined for ac tion on the part of the national organization. Had these matters been dealt with striclly throuctl 111" larger body, the benefit would not h.ive heen as great as other- j Wise will result.' Mr. Clagstono slates that he is 1 endeavoring to arrange for an agricultural conference to he held in itie western division ut some future date, the meeting being similar to the one which occurred recently In Kansas Cltv, where ! states ero represented and dis cussed mutual problems relating tn the atrii utturul Industry In 1 thoso three stales.

As we depend ' on birds to fight the pests that cause us a loss of $2,000,000, X)0S)wQr thereabout each year, poor Pussy's offense is serious. Millions of families are attached to cats, for their graceful leauty and the home like atmosphere they give a dwelling. ZThey keep down rats and mice, so they have their place in Jhe scheme of things. Unfortunately they get just as much jiieasure from eating a useful and beautiful songbird, as they ,do from pursuing a wicked old rat. Homes that have plenty of trees nnd shrubbery ought to be safer resorts for the birds JTian those that are bare of such growth, where the birds are Jorccd to light on the ground. In such cases they often 3rove too much temptation for old Pussv's morals. I o Fifty cases of delinquent children were recently analyz ed in Omaha, Nebraska. It was found that 00 per cent of Jhem came from parental neglect, irresponsibility, broken jiomes, nnd wrong home environment. Occasionally black heop develop in a good homo. Perhaps if their needs were petjer understood, they could hnvc been savd. P.ut wlicn hoys. and girls go w rong, the trouble is usually in the home. The parents may have had too many cares to look after their Unt. If we want to reform the children, we must start with the purcnts. Of these delinquent children at: Omaha, 00 per Tent were located more than half a mile from a play-ground. Think of that, Mr. Taxpayer, when you growl about spend ing money to teach children how to play! ; ... o A mooting of city planners has just been held in New York city, and one of the speakers dwelt on the idea that the city of P.oston, according to his estimate, needs to spend f 50,000,000 to provide adequate thoroughfares through its congested district He contrasted that condition with thatot Philadelphia, where William IVnn laid out a system ot checkerboard streets that is the basis of the city now. That Illustrates the difference between Various cities and towns ItMliiy. Some were laid out by those who looked ahead, while tnners jusi consmerca present needs. tome cities now are The city council held a very busy session last night, a number .of routino matters being brought up Tor discussion. A. O. .McMillin appeared beforo the council with a request for a division of the asseasnient on property recently acquired by him, and bis petition was referred to tlie committee on Ways and MeHns. The request of the Doy Scouts for the use of the council cham bers for the meeting of the Court ot Honor, was granted. County Judge Quine appeared betore the council with a request for the city's agreement to aid in redecklng the Oak Street llrldge. He intimated that unless 'the city willingly agrees to participate in this Improvement that tire money usually turned over to the city will be withheld by the court and used for that purpose. If such action Is takc-n it is extiertml that litigation will result. The law provides that each i municipality Is a road district within itself, and it has always court is required to turn over to the city Us Bhare of the road been held by the city that under the existing laws the county money raised within the district. The county court claims that It has the right to use the money on projects insldo the city, without turning the tunds over to the council.. The city claims that the coun ty owns the bridge, and that the city has no Interest in It what soever. The court, however. Is trying to place the burden ot up keep upon the city. , The matter has been referred to City Attorney Wlmberly, who expressed his opinion last night, that the county court can be com pelled to turn over the road money and that the council may then participate or not in the Im provement, using its own discre tion. The city desires to use the money for the repair ot broken pavements and reilooring of tne tieer Creek iiridge. An offer of for' the old hose house on I'arrott .street was accepted. A communication offering the city a second huud street flusher, was read and placed on file. County Physician W. C. Belt submitted a complaint regarding an open tank containing stag nant water in Laurelwood and the matter was referred lo the committee on' health and police. The southern Pacific company's acceptance of the franchise or dinance for the spur track cros sing Douglas street, was read and filed. The offer of It. L. Whipple to purchase property for the mount of the city's liens was accepted. A petition was filed by the Coen Lumlrer company for the vacation of Spring street between the west line of Short street and the east line of the S. P. right of way. The street committee was ordered to investigate. The Ways and Means commit tee reported that the county has no money to participate in the paving of second Avenue south and so the city will take no tur thor action. The Btreet commltee reported that it will be necessary to con demn a 5 foot strip of land bor dering on Benson and McClellan streets, before the petitions for paving those streets can be adopt ed. The condemnation proceed ings will be instituted if residents agree to pay the costs and to pay the damages If any" are allowed.
