THE BINGHAMTON PRESS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1911. GOVERNOR DIX ARRIVING IN BINGHAMTON 'POVERTY HAS NO RIGHT TO EXISTJN AMERICA Dr. J. J. Lawrence, in Address Before Civic Club, Deplored the Economic Waste, Which Causes the Condition According to Rev, Dr.

J. J. who addressed the Civic Culb this morning, the real perils of the American Republic are not those that arise, or may arise from other parts the world. They are the evils which "slumber In our midst," those I I 1 I I'' I 1 1 i I VV-'' i if 1 I I Ik i -ffffx 1 I r5 If 7 J. 1Ujf- 0 jxjMMtM AirfWiKiTiMMiitMi.nti-iriiiiiiiiiiirti-r -n f-n in iii.iiiiiihiiiii.ii hiiiiiiiihiJ We Are Standardizing Our Telephone Rates in Binghamton That means two things.

First "We aro giving all thoso subscribers who are paying above' our standard rates the privilege of obtaining their service at the new rates. Second We are asking the few who are paying less than our standard rates to become standard. Two rates for the same class of telephone service is not equity, and even the man who is now receiving the lower rate will say so. We are sure that our rates aro uniform to all, and will help, us accomplish the result by his personal co-operation. Our New Rates Are BUSINESS Direct Line $34.00 2-Farty Line 42.00 4-Party Line 30.00 (800 outward calls.) things which we have the power to combat.

As an example one of the greatest American evils, Dr. Lawrence, spoke at some length on -overty which he said exists to a far greater extent than is penerally believed, because It seek? to hide itself and data regarding it Is "War," said Dv. Lawrence, "belongs to the barbaric ages, it has nothing to do vith Christian civilization." He declared that we need no mora laws, but rather something to crush the political machine which continues to make laws of which we already have too many. Women, he snld. have more time than business men in which to study the conditions of the country, and the problems of the nation.

They also have the power to "create a certain atmosphere, to promulgate desirable sentiments and drifts of thought which will in no small degree help In effacing some of the difficult problems which face us today," and he intimated hat the Civic Club is doing much along these lines, and that they can do more toward upholding and enforcing the laws which now exist. "The true patriotism of the future," he concluded, will not be a struggle against some imaginary hostility of a foreign country, but will be a fight against the evils in our midst, it will be the uplift, the sanctiflcation of the lives of the individuals who make up the American republic. Mrs. Herbert D. Whitmarsh, who arranged this morning's program, was unable to be present on accpunt of Illness.

During the business meeting it was reported that Frances H. McLean, who is to come from the Russell Sage Foundation tn nsafot in PAPERS FILED AT CLERK'S OFFICE extremely aimcuit to get. Slid IT. Lawrence: "There ought not to be any overty In this country, erty is an economic and a moral evil, a thing which should have no place in this country which produces or at least may produce more than we can consume. I believe there is enough product raised in the Mississippi valley alone to feed every man, woman and child in this country.

There is waste enough to keep a country nearly as large as our own." "There was a time when people thought that cholera, black plagua, sweating sickness, tuberculosis and other horrible diseases were a part of the nature and constitution ot things. But they said cholera had to go and it went, they declared that the black plague had to go, and It is gone, they said that tuberculosis must gn and tuberculosis is going. There is no real cause why we should not likewise banish poverty." Speaking of different types of patriotism. Dr. Lawrence referred to the kind which "explodes In noise" or, in other words, finds vent in much blustering talk with no effect for the betterment of mankind, or real love of country behind it, the militant brand which results In war, and the Fourth of July or kid type" having no real aim or object in view.

George to Susan Rich Hutchinson, and the other transfers the same property from Mrs. Hutchinson, as surviving executrix of the estate of Elizabeth Grlswold Back, to Tracy G. Rich, Kdson B. Rich and Eliza M. George.

These deeds simply mean that the four In question, who are members of the Rich family, have divided the property to suit themselves. An order Issued by Justice Arthur S.

The "man of mystery," who was picked up on the streets by the police p.bout a month ago, claiming to- have landed In Binghamton from a balloon and wound up at the Binghamton State Hospital, Is still "the man of mystery." Every effort made by the Hospital authorities and the otate Lunacy Commission to find his home has proved unavailing, and he remains at that institution.

Today Mr. McLoud said that he desires to have it known that Governor Dix has only the best of intentions and kindliest of feelings the State highway system and that any misunderstanding which may have arisen between the chief executive and the State Highway Commission will not have the slightest adverse effect upon road building) In this connection comes' the news from Albany that the State Highway Commission has announced that, at the request of Governor Dix, contracts for good roads aggregating which the Governor held up recently so that the State Engineer might pass upon the plans, that it would readvertise for the contracts with the hope that they might be awarded on March 20. 22 and 24.

There are 60 roads Involved. This means that among the 60 contracts to be let is one for the construction of the Whitney Point-Upper Lisle highway, in this county. While there are others on the construction list they will not be let until later, but there is not the doubt but all the contracts will be let, early this year, allowing of their construction the coming season. The Whitney Point-Upper Lisle thoroughfare is about miles long and will cost over $50,000 to build. It will lie on goocj foundation.

In the later lettings will be the Glen Aubrey-Whitney Point road. 4 ft miles long, and the cost will be approximately about the same as the first mentioned. Another contract will be awarded for a continuation of the present Windsor State road, a strip to be built five miles long from the end of the new road, ending at a point near the village of Windsor. The cost of this latter road will probably be near $75,000 to $80,000. Welsh, attorneys.

Superintendent 'of the Poor Stone had anticipated that the woman and her child would be sent back at that time in charge of a German woman of the city. But it appears that two are after the place, one wanting to charge $100, and the other $50, and that the national authorities do not like to pay either sum for the services rendered. Another woman is at Rome, N.

who must be sent home, and she will not be taken until May. The chances are believed to favor the retention of Veronica at the County Farm until May, when she will return in company with the woman at Rome, under the care of proper James Callopy, former Binghamton baseball player and veteran third-sacker of the State League, was In town this morning renewing old acquaintances.
