Continued for olio Week.
Launching the second edition of
the Y. SI. c. A. campaign for $50,000
at a banquet In the association gym
Inst evening, a goodly number of
workers discussed plans for tho work
nnd listened to a number of speeches
of tho sort that Instill enthusiasm and
muko for a grontcr effort In this, tho
final attempt to s.ivo the Institution.
Thcro must bo raised about $20,
000 this week, clso nothing will pre
vent tho closing of the Y. M. C. A.
nnd tho winding up of tho good work
It lias done In tho community for tho
past seventeen years. It was pointed
out that Marlon Is becoming narrow
and tight-fisted In a llnanclal way. In
tho old days when Marlon was far
from being tho city that It Is today,
It was easy to ralso thousands for a
project of almost any sort. Today It
Is utmost Impossible to securo, funds
for the most luudablo enterprise.
"What Is tho matter with Marlon?"
This question wns asked by moro than
ono person. They queried whether
Marlon men aro not tho progressives
that wcro their forebears. Marlon,
as a vlllago quickly raised $175,000
for tho Dcllcfontatuo & Indiana rail
road when that Hun was pushed
through. This was brought out by
Colonel George B. Christian who
spoke to tho .workers for tho first Umu
nnd whoso remarks teemed with In
torcsttng Information concerning tho
Marlon of today and of yesterday. Mr.
Christian told tho workers, that based
,uton population Marlon should to
day raise $3,660,000 without ns much
trouble ns was experienced In secur
ing tho ri7C,OOo for tho II. & I. rail
road In tho village days.
Colonel Christian handled things
without gloves. Ho scored tho cor
porations: of' Marlon for hiding bo
hln,d a self-raised legal barrier and
refusing to glvo to nn enterprise that
means so much to the men they em
ploy and to tho city In which they
aro locutod. Ho called attention to
tho fact that corporations all over
Ohio nnd nil ovor the country aro giv
ing dally to laudable public enter
prises and that even tho governor of
tho great stato of Ohio, whllu re
ceiver of tho Hamilton & Dayton rail
road, gavo out of tho funds of the
corporation $10,000 for a Y. M. C. A.
project. Harmon said at that tlmo
that ho was awaro a certain law for
bade It but that If tho stockholder of
the railroad objected nnd questioned
his net ho would pay tho money him
solf. Other spcakors talked In like voly
and suggested means of securing tlio
additional amount needed.
Tho banquet occurred at G:30 p.
in. nnd Immediately afterward Dr,
C. E. Sawyor, gonoral chairman of
tho campaign, acting as toustmustcr,
addressed tho assemblage
Dr. Sawyer spoke In optlmtstla vein
of tho work laid out for this week,
pleaded for a closer organization nnd
a moro earnest effort on the part of
every ono. Ho prodlctcd that If there
is a united effort und tho word U
spread to every Marlon citizen of high
or low degrco thoro will bo forthcom
ing enough to savo tho association to
Marlon.
Fred H. Guthory followed Dr. Saw?
yor und urged co-operation as a
means whereby success mny bo ob
tained. Ho urgod tho workers to ur
range to dovoto practically nil of
their tlmo for a few days nnd pro
dieted that tho rcsutls would oxecod
expectations.
Qrant 12. Mauser took a fling ut tho
proachors, or rathor some of thorn',
for tholr attitude toward this cam
paign. Ho clussod some of them as
bigoted Individuals who failed to show'
tho Christian oplrlt expected of them
und declared that soma of them want
ed to soo tho movement to perpetuate
tho Y. M. C. A. end in failure. Mr,
Mousor ulso scored closo-llstecl Mu
rlonltos for loving tholr gold so well
that they would not purt with It to
help a project so luudablo but hid
bhind ovory posslblo oxcuso thoy
could Invent to kcop from giving. Tho
former congressman roforrod to his
own son, who Is un enthusiastic mem
ber. Ho wild that Ills boy know tho
Y. M. G. A. nnd loved It. Ho folt that
If other boys would bo brought Into
tho Y. M. C. A. thoy would fool tho
same- way towurd It and that tho ro
sult would bo nn upbuilding of tholr
moral and physical beings. Mr, Mou
scr promised his auditors that ho will
do everything In his power to mnko

Colonol Christian cumo next with,
ono of tho best addresses of tho even

speaker, "to go out and raise $1,500
for n Fourth of July celebration in n
few minutes. Now ono might tramp
tho streets fpr days and fall to get
tho money. 'hut Is the matter with
you of today? Aro you stingier and
meaner thun your forefathers? To
get money now Is tho most difficult
thing no matter how luudablo Is your
proposition. If Marlon in tho vlllago
days raised $17C,000 the city of today
should with less effort ralso $3,500,
000. And yot nomo peoplo think that
$50,000 Is a great bum to secure. It
would not bo If ovcry citizen who Is
ablo would do his share.
"Now you are needing $20,000 to
complete this project. Go out and
ralso ono-hnlf of that and If you do
then I, with any other nineteen men
In Marlon, or moro or less, will agree
to ralso tho remaining $10,000. I do

told tho workers that he still had faith

Is In debt about $8,000. It will re

ing $10,000 In all. By that tlmo it la
hoped that tho building will bo com

tho pledges all paid, Tho udltlou of

made necessary to mako up for tho

but you havo got to sugar-coat thoso

To be Erected by School

By United l'rs Wire
School children throughout the
state of Ohio will be asked to con
tribute to the Interest anil activity of
tho coming centennial of tho estab
lishment of the state capitol at Co
lumbus. This contribution is to bo
In the shape of pontiles. Tho project
hns received the endorsement of Statu
School Commissioner Cellar who is
heart and soul for the iproject that
will arouse Interest Hiid ercato en
thusiasm in the children of tho state
of Ohio. He bus agreed to furnish
historical luallots touching on the ear
ly history of tho state, and thoso will
bo furnished all school children from
river to lake und Pennsylvania to In
diana. The plan is to tako u penny collec
tion from ull school children In the
state, and t i use this money ur n
nucleus of a fund for tho erection
of a statuo of Christopher Columbus,
the discoverer of Amerlcu, und tho
one for whom tho stato capital was
named. It happens that thoro Is but
one, mid that u smull statue of Co
lumbus In tho Capital City. Leading
sons of tho stnto are honored bj elab.
orate testimonials in bronssn which
adorn tho state house yard, but the
niuu who gave it new continent to tho
world und a now oiitb ok to Immunity
and who Is represented by moro than
n dozen cities and towns scattered
throughout America. Is without any
fitting monument In the capitol of the
stato of Ohio.
In tho opinion of Mr. Cellar the
romantic and heroic achievements of
Christopher Columbus uppoal partic
ularly to the school children. He
thinks It line nnd fitting that the
should be permitted to contribute to
ward a prominent moinorlul of the
centennlnt of the ostubllHlimeut nf the
capitol of Ohio. It Is unfortunately

Bv DnltM Pr- Wire
New York, Jan. 17 Financial cir
cles uro today discussing with con
siderable olntlon tho speech of for
mer Governor Prank S. Blank beforo
tho city bankers In whlcj) ho grilled
the mon ho once nomJdted for presi
dent, Colonel Thcodftp Dooscvclt. Tho
occasion wa, what the bankers term
ed "u dinner to the constitution of
the United States." Bound volumes
of that vemrablo document were dis
tributed as souvenirs.
The Pluck speech Included enthus
iastic praise of Speaker Cannon and
bitter crlslclsm or "muck-rakcra und
demagogues" and the onsulng ap
plause was led by J. P. Morgan.
The Tact that Black, after assail
ing tlio Initiative nnd referendum,
tlio recall, popular election (if United
States senators and most of the
other doctrines advocated by tho pro
gressives In the two old partita, wns
applauded nt length nnd that tho
spenker afterward wns warmly con
gratulated b.- Morgan nnd tho othor
big flnnnclers present was declared
today to Indicate that tho monlcd In
terests of tho country will oppose any
extension of these policies wherever
possible, but especially in tho Dast.
"It Is tho business of men of
sense", imid Dlack, "to quit whisper
Ing in prlvn,to when demagogues nnd
dlstdrbcra.prmsy.ctflfflcV
nnd renson with tho people.
"I bellevo that generations from
now, when the names of sporadic nnd
volublo reformers are preserved only
becauso they fought him, tho names
of Speaker Cannon will be remem
bered with increasing respect The
whole country, including you bankers,
must change tactics. Tho muck-raker
and tho domagoguo havo done harm
enough nnd ought to bo sont to tho
roar. Their message or distrust and
turbulcnco is nolther sincere nor true.
The vnst majority or American busi
ness Is honestly dono nnd tho vnst
majority or American fortunes hon
estly acquired."
Tlio glasses on the guests' tablo
rattled as the Morgan list thumped
tho mahogany to Indlcuto his ap
proval. "Tho vast mujorlty of laboring men
aro getting what thoy earn," con
tinued Blnck. "Twenty-nvo years ago
tho majority of thoso in this room
wero not getting as much ns tho
bricklayer gets today. Tho disturber
has ridden for years nt tho public
cost nt the head of a continuous and
noisy parudo. Why not let him wulle
a wlille while tho business man catch
es up? We havo been too long excit
ed nnd misled by counterfeiters. Tlio
tlmo hns come to art. The retirement
of many of our best statesmen is
foreshadowed, und they aro to bo
replnced by tho promotion of men
whoso statesmanship never has reach
eil above the level of the Inltlatlvo
referendum and recall, the popular
election of senators und pensions for
thoso out of work."
