COUNTRY ALL RIGHT.
THE WRITER SEES NO CLOUD
Striking Article In North American
Review That Is Attracting Wide
Attention.
The attention of business nnd pro
fessional men' in all portions of the
country has been attracted to a strik
ingly strong article by Col. George
Harvey In the September isnue of the
North American Rovlow In which the
writer takes a vloW of tho greatest
hopefulness for the futuro of America
and Americans. The artlclo is en
titled "A Plea for the Conservation' of
Common Sense," and It is meeting
with the cordial approval of business
men of all shades of political opinion
throughout the entire country. In
part, Colonel Harvey says:
"Unquestionably a spirit of unrcnt
dominates tho land. But, If It bo
true that fundamentally the condition
of tho country Is sound, must wo
nococBarlly succumb to despondency,
abandon effort looking to retrieval
nnd cringe like cravens beforo clouds
that only threaten 7 Bather ought
wo not to analyzo conditions, search
for causes, find tho root of tho dis
tress, which even now exists only In
men's minds, and then, after tho
American fashion, ripply nuch rem
edies as soems most likely to produce
beneficent results?
Capital and Labor Not Antagonistic.
"Tho Link that connects labor with
capital Is not broken but wo may not
deny that it is leas cohesive, than ' it
should bo or than conditions war
rant Financially, the country is
stronger than ever boforo In its his
tory. Itocovory from n panic so
sovero as that of three years ago was
never before so prompt and compara
tively complete. Tho masses are
practically free from debt. Monoy Is
held by tho bankn In abundance nnd
rates aro low.
"Why, then, does capital pause
upon the threshold of Investment?
Tho answer, wo bctlcvo, to bq plain.
It awaits adjustment of tho rotations
of government to business. The
solo problem consists of determining,
how government cun maintain uu
even balance between aggregations
of Interests, on tho ono hand, und tho
wholo peoplo, on tho other, protect
ing tho latter against extortion nnd
saving tho former from mad asHaultn.
"Tho solution Is not easy to flud
for tho simple reason that tho situ
ation 1b without precedent. But Is
not progtcss holng mndu along ouna
and cautious lines?
Conserve Common Senee.
'Is not tho present, as wo have
seen, exceptionally socuro? What,
then, of preparations for thu future?
Patriotism Is the basis of our Insti
tutions. And patriotism in tho minds
of our youth Is no longer linked Rolcly
with fireworks nnd deeds of daring. It
is taught In our schools. A now
course has been added a course In
loyalty. Methodically, our children
learn how to vote,, how to conduct
primaries, conventions ana elections,
how to dlBcrlmlnato between qualifica
tions of cnndldatcB antf,. finally, how
to govern as well ob servo. Thoy arc
taught to despise bribery and all
forms of corruption and fraud as
treason. Their crcod, which they arc
made to know by heart, 1b not com
plex, ji is simple, out comprehen
sive, no less beautiful in diction than
lofty In aspiration. Thcoo aro tho
pledges which aro graven upon their
memories:
"As It Is cowardly for n soldier to
run away from battle, bo It Is coward
ly for any cltlzon not to contribute
hla Khnro to the wull-bolng of his
country. America Is my own dear
land; sho nourished me, and I will
lovo her nnd do my duty to hor.

"As tho health and happlnosa of
my body depend upon oach rauBcle
and ncrvo and drop of blood doing
Its work in Its place, so tho health
and hnppluoss of my country dopend
upon each citizen doing his work in
his place.
"These young citizens are our
hoBtages to fortune Can wo not
safely nasumo that tho principles ant
mating their lives augur well for tho
permanency of tho Republic? When
beforo have the foundation atones
of contlnuanco boon laid with such
care and promlsoi'of durability?
"Tho future, then, Is bright And
tho present? But one thing Is need
fut, No present movement Is more
laudablo than that which looks to
conservation of natural resources.
But let us never forget that tho great
est Inherent rcsourco of tho Amor
lenn peoplo to Common Sense, Let
that be 'conserved und applied with
out cessation, and soon It will be
found that all tho Ills of which we
complain but know not of are only
such as attend upon the growing
pains or a great, ana messed country,

Social Conditions

Text: Lovers of pleasure more than
Jovern of Clod.
1 wish there woro no occasion foi
this sermon. Thcro are many sensi
tive souls whom its plain languaga
may offend. They do not believe thnt
such subjocts belong properly to pul
pit treatment However, I speak bt
causo my consclcr.ee bids mo. This
servlco Is tbo discharge of a painful
duty. "Do I seek to please men? I
I yet please men, I should not bo th
servant of Christ. The church mem
hers of our city In their nttltudo to
ward moral conditions mar bo grouped
in four classes. First, thoso who de
not know. They nro good people, wh"
attend church. They know nothing ol
tbo sin nnd shamo of tho city streets.
Where Ignorance is bliss It Is folly to
be wjse. Second, thoso who know,
but do not care. They have no sense
of personal responsibility, since they
are not participants In tho wrong.
Their chief concern Is In taking enre
of self. Third, those Who know, but
say they cannot change conditions,
Sin has always existed and always
will. Tho scarlet woman hnB boon In
tho world etneo tho days of Solomon,
It Is usoloss to attempt to purify city
life and Improvo social conditions
Whoever makes the effort Is striking
his head against a stone wall. Fourth
thono who know conditions, feel their
responsibility ns citizens nndt Chris
tlnnn nnd endeavor to remedy tho ex
isting conditions. They may not like
the crack of ray rifle, but nevertheless,
1 am determined to tako tho shot
With this In view I, accompanied
by an officer In citizen's clothes, took
two walks down Broad Btrcet nnd 3aw
sights which I blush to mention. The
first wns on Thursday night, the first
clear night aftor about ten days of
rain. They had coma out like tho In
sects from under bark and sod. with
the first return of the spring sun.
Thoy Bwarmcd tho streets until It was
dllllcult nnd. in somo respects, dan
gerous to walk. Olrls resorted to tho
back parlors of Italian confectioneries,
whore thoy sat In suggestive positions
to, welcumo nnd tempt whoever might
enter therein. An older girl, on evil
bent, led hor little sister on her peril
ous mission. Others whoso lives dls
graced tho name of woman stood oc
corners or marched brazenly down the
Btrcet Boys In kneo trousers and
girls In short dresses were out In the
darkness of tho night, when they
should have been at home Mashers
followed girls from block to block nnd
around cocr aftor corner, and led
them-down dark alleys.. -All of this
and raoro I saw. 'Twos enough to
mnko tbo head heavy and the heart
pick.
On tho second night wo visited thb
moving pictures. I saw nothing ob-
Jcc.tlonablo per so In tho pictures. A
minister was present, and they would
be guilty of no Impropriety. All class
es and conditions wore In attendance
A dude, dressed In Prince Albert, n
bloated faced sport and a wensley half
fed man were thcro, who bought tick
ets in rotation and entered one after
tho other. Llttlo children under ten
and haggled old women with bent
forms were there What have you to
say about theso showB? Two things:
First, they prove the text nnd demon
strate that tho American peoplo nro
lovers of pleasure more than lovers
of God. On two blocks on Broad strpot
last Friday night more peoplo saw the
moving pictures thnn assembled In
seventy of tho eighty white churches
of this city. They lined tho block and
hncked up on the Elde r.treet waiting
for admission and yet we Bay this Is n
Christian city. Would that It were,
but many of tho churcn members lovo
tho places of pleasure moro than the
house of God. They are too tired to
attend the church on Sunday evening,
but can parado the otrcotR nnd stand
for n long time nnd spend hours see
ing moving pIctureB and vnudovlllo
after a hard day's work, Oh, con
sistency, thou art a Jowel!
Passing from tho places of pleasure,
wo saw young girls, whoso mothers
thought they were in no harm, enter
ing automobiles and going on Joy
rides with young men who meant no
good. Onb of tho most demoralizing
agenclcB In Richmond Is the automo
bile of tho son of thu rich. If you
want, to ruin your son, got him an au
tomobile Not moro than ono out of
ten can own a machine without neg.
looting lila bU3luesrt or Injuring hla
mornb. If the numbers of tho ma
chines that ride slowly along Broad
stroet to cntlco young clrls coming
from tho plays, or stand on Mayo and
East Franklin strcetB after tho mid
night hours, were published In the
daily papers, thoy would strike many
hcartu with consternation, and arouse
the rich to tho danger of their sons.
If our papers want something sensa
tional cull their attention to this field
of Investigation.
It Is not pleasant for one to speak
so plainly about tho deplorable condl
Hons In the city that wo love, but to
keep silent is a Bin. To submit with
out a protest is to stlflo conscience
nnd betray n trust. Wo boast of our
city as n churchgolng, well governed
town. Tio conditions which I saw
convince me that Richmond Is an ap
plo orchard without but rotting at the
core The social impurity and moral
degradation are Indescribable and un
speakable. Ab the city grows In size,
It grows In wickedness. Can we check
this evil? If not we are to go the
way or otner cities.
