Democratic harmony seems to be as far off as ever Hearst boosts the Independence League, Bryan Is for fed

Indiana is again confronted by the gambling evil as strongly as ever, apparently, judging by reports from the
extreme south and north portions of
the state. Governor Hanly has a continuous job on his hands if he is going to keep up the fight on this evil.
Secretary "Wilson Is after such manufacturers as are trying to deceive the public b"y advertising that their goods bear approval of the government when such is not the case. Secretary Wilson promises to do a little advertising himself, if the practice is not stopped. It is to be hoped he will persist until those dealers who lie about the quality of their products are run out of business. J
HIGGINS ON ROOSEVELT. James II. Illggins, governor of Rhode Island, writing for Collier's
magazine, says:
"I have no hesitation In saying that I believe it would be a most happy circumstance, not only for the people
of New York state, but for the whole
United States, if Mr. Roosevelt could
be sent to the senate after his present term as president expires. The vast
experience he has acquired, his rugged and fearless character, with his thorough independence and intelligence, would, in my opinion, make him u most useful member of that body. The
example of New York in this respect might lead other states to send more men to the senate who are qualified by brains, character and experience
rather than by wealth alone. In the house of representatives, John Quincy Adams performed many years of patriotic service to his state and na
tion after being president. There is no reason why Mr. Roosevelt could not duplicate the experience of Ad-
ame. ir any republican is to ue elected to the United States senate from New York, I should by all means prefer Mr. Roosevelt, who seems to be
imbued with sound democratic principles and liberal ideas."

Other cities have succeeded, but Richmond fails. Is this the story that must be told in reference to the Y. M. C. A.?
Senator Foraker insists that Taft train down before he sits on any of the political fences that have been built in Ohio.
Already a suit has been filed in Indiana to test the legality of the twocent fare law. Perhaps the courts will "railroad" it throug'li.

At Havana, Cuba, baseball umpires carry revolvers, and even at that their lives are not safe. Cuba is beating the United States at its own game.
Howard Nesbit and Mrs. Holman, brother and mother of Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw, seem to be on the mourner's bench. It's eleventh hour repentance.
Local freight traffic conditions do not seem to worry the merged traction interests. Perhaps they think Richmond will weary of the situation and make advances.

MRS. JOHN H. R0LING BUYS BUSINESS BUILDING
Mrs. John If. Roling has purchased the business building at the corner of Fifth and Main streets, and not John Dickman, as stated. The property was only transferred through Mr. Dickman as a legal procedure. The price was $5,000, subject to the Long claim. The Pilgrim Brothers have purchased the hardware stock and will continue the business.

. Numerous complaints have been made to the board of public works and members of the city council on the conditions of some streets in the city. These complaints are to the effect that some of the public service cor porations, notably the Richmond Water Works company and the Richmond Natural Ga3 company, tear up the streets to place pipes and mains or to make repairs and that when the work is completed the holes are carelessly filled up and are not rolled down to the grade of the streets, giving it an unsightly appearance. Is a Series of Patches. North Eleventh street, which was macadamized two years ago at an expense of 13,000 or $20,000 to the property owners and the city, is today a series of patches from B to D, these patches standing up above the grade of the street like warts on a pickle About two months ago it was neees sary for the gas company to make re pairs. After the working 'gang had made these repairs the holes in the street" were filled up in a hapbazzan? manner and no effort was made to pu' the street in good condition again The property owners on North Elev enth street are of the opinion that the company should be compelled to put the street back in the condition it wa? before -the repairs were made on the pipe line. West Side Complaint. Over in West Richmond on several streets a number of property owners are complaining that the beautiful shade trees on the sides of the streets have been mutilated by the workiny gang of the Central Union Telephoncompany. This gang in extending th telephone lines have cut off tops of trees. In other parts of town it is com plained that streets are allowed to

RAILROAD NOTES.
Recently a State Senator on a dining" car asked the waiter to bring him "a cigar. " The waiter brought two boxesone was a Triangle A cigar, and the other an unknown brand. "Which is the better ? " asked the Senator. The waiter recommended the unknown brand. "Why?" the Senator demanded. The waiter grinned. "Boss says that's the one. to push," he said. You don't want to depend on what "the boss" wants to push you'd rather choose for yourself. How do you know a good cigar? You can now buy cigars with the maker's guarantee on every box a mark of merit that distinguishes scientific methods systematically applied to cigar production a mark that stands for improved quality better, riper tobacco, thoroughly matured and actually blendedsmooth, even-smoking cigars, absolutely clean without increased cost.
