JOHN MITCHELL. Rather bad reports have come out of Indianapolis concerning the health of John Mitchell, the great leader of the miners of this country. For some time past Mr. Mitchell has not been in the best of health, a fact that has given his friends and co-workers a great deal of worry. It Is to be hoped that Mr. Mitchell -will regain his health, as he Is one of the few men the country cannot afford to lose. A great labor leader and a conservative labor leader, his administration of the affairs of the United Mine Workers cf America has been such as to gain for him the confidence of not only the members of his union, but also of his fellow citizens throughout the United States. At the time of the great coal strike several years ago it was John Mitchell who co-operated with President Roosevelt to bring arbitration about and end the trouble that was proving so disastrous to the country at large. lie has always been this kind of a leadert loyal to his union, but nevertheless open to reason when a strike Is causing widespread suffering over the country. As is the case with every truly great man, Mr. Mitchell has been, attacked from within his organization and .several efforts have been made to dislodge him from power. lie would not be the man he is if he didn't have enemies. But through it all the majority of the union has always been with him. Bryan and Roosevelt are great political leaders and have done a great deal for their country and when they die, especially if they die in the heighth of their power and ability, the country will have lost a source of inspiration. And just as this is so in tneir case, It is so in the case of John Mitchell. Such men as he are a source of Inspiration to their fellow countrymen and such men at the head of the great unions are a source of strength to the whole country, as their leadership gives a sense of security and character that Is lacking in too many other organizations of labor.

rather discouraging effect on the Commercial club. They have felt that they were acting for the best interests of not only the city but also of the farmers in trying to land the Libby plant In Richmond. This plant would give employment to several hundred people besides which it would be a splendid market for the. farmers who raised tomatoes and cabbages. That it would be a permanent plant goes without saying as the firm of Libby, McNeill & Libby is one of the strongest, financially speaking, in the country. It is to be hoped that the. farmers around Richmond will give further thought to this proposition and help Richmond land the company. Not only will it afford them a good market for their cabbages and tomatoes but it will also afford them a good market for the rest of their produce owing to the several hundred new employes it will need. In this case what is good for Richmond is good for the farmers as they can readily see by a little figuring.

INSPECTION PARTY COMES OCTOBER 19

President McCrea and Other!

Officials of the Pennsy. Will Visit Richmond.

GENERAL BOOTH'S VISIT. General Booth, commander-in-chief of the Salvation army, is again in America, being in Chicago at present. That Americans have a warm spot in their heart for him was proven by the great reception accorded him when he arrived In the station at Chicago.

Greater crowds could not have turned

out to eee the president or some favor

ite general returning victorious from a war. And General Booth deserves

this splendid attention from Americans for he has dons as much for them as any general we ever sent into battle. General Booth fights on the

battlefield of humanity and instead of

taking life in his campaigns he tries to save it His army fights its battles

In the slums of our great cities among the "submerged tenth" and tries to make life more worth living for the

unfortunates by teaching them how to

live in the right manner. He has been condemned by many thoughtless ones

for preaching his thories accompanied

by the music of the drum and tambor-

lne, yet his success proves that this was the right method to use to reach the class he aimed to reach. For years

the churches have stood within easy reach of these people but they did not avail themselves of the opportunity to attend. They didn't want to attend

church. They were perfectly content

ed to live In sin and swill booze and it

took Just such an army as General

Booth organized to rout that notion from their heads. From his great success it is not hard to see that the end has justified the means, a fact that is proven by the crowds that gather to applaud and respect him.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. The season just past has been a splendid one for public improvements as can be seen by a walk about the city. Any number of new cement sidewalks have been constructed as well as cement gutters and curbs. The whole aspect of the city is becoming more uniform and this "brushing up" of the city is also having its effect upon the city's, citizens. Somehow improving seems to be contagious. All last spring and during the summer months while the public improvements were going on, many citizens were set an example by the city which they copied about their houses. Hundreds of houses received new coats of paint; many had additions built to them and others had the grounds around them improved by abolishing fauces and replacing the ground walks with neat cement walks. These improvements have all added to the natural beauty of Richmond and help make it appear more substantial.

THE BUILDING SEASON. The records show this year has not

been as good as last year was as far as the building of new houses was

concerned and the reason given is the high price of building material. Undoubtedly this is true as the prices of

nearly all material that enters into the

building of a house have advanced greatly. But the fact that there was a

falling off in the number of new

houses constructed shows that the

remedy for high prices is in sight. Just as sure as there were fewer houses constructed in Richmond the same condition was true in the majority of cities of the country and, owing to this lack of demand, it will probably

be found that the prices of building material will ease off until the figure is reached at which people will care to build again.

A THOROUGH INSPECTION.

STATISTICS FOR RAILROADS IN 1906 SHOW A LARGE INCREASE IN THE MILEAGE TWO-CENT LAW IN OHIO OTHER NEWS.

A message has been received at the local Pennsylvania station stating that President McCrea and his annual inspection party will leave New York October 14. for the annual inspection of the western lines. They will paes over the Indianapolis division October 10, arriving in Richmond on the same date. The party will travel in four special trains. Officials of each division including track inspectors, will accompany the party on one of the trains. The Inspection is to be quite a thorough one and will extend over every division of the Pennsylvania railroad west of Pittsburg, and will occupy much time.

Heavy lies the head that wears the

Standard Oil company's crown these days.

We have all heard of the pay envel

ope, but It remained for Uncle Sam's postoffice officials to discover the graft envelope.

There is one good thing about Richmond's clergymen who enter politics they are fighters. The Rev. Kuhn gave Mr. Watson a run for his money last election, and, from the way the Rev. Campbell is starting in on his campaign, he will give the rest of the candidates In the Sixth district a run for their money.

League will be held next Friday even ing at the home of the president, Mrs C. A. Langley. After the business ses

1907 CARD CLUB MEETS.

New Paris, O., Oct. 8 The 1907

card club met Saturday evening for the first time this fall. Refreshments

were Berved and a very enjoyable eve

ning was passed. Those present were Mrs. Harris, Jack Bright and wife, Edward Harris and family, C. E. Pence, and Mr. W. E. Wenger and family.

STATISTICS FOR 1906. According to Poor's Manual-of railroads for 1907, showing statistics for 1900, there were 222.fiG."i miles of steam roads in operation at the close of the past year, an increase of ;20l miles for the year 1906. The report shows that average revenue per ton mile in 1905, was .760 cent, as against .784 cent in 190.". The latter comparison does not support the claim that the railroads are increasing rates on an average. The average receipts per passenger per mile in 1900 were 2.011 cents as against 2.03S cents in 1905, yet the average interest rate on bonds last year was 3.99 per cent, as against 3.79 per cent for 1X). The average dividend rate upon all railroad stock was 3.03 per cent as against 3.27 per

cent in 19o5. The beginning of this! year found the total funded debt of the ,

steam roads to be $7,851,107,778, an increase for the year of $423,843,S77, and the capital stock on December 31 last was $7,100,408,976, an increase for the year of $364,452,151, and the total assets of all lines were $17,534,381,033, an increase of $1,241,500,S10. According to the report the roads carried 815,774,118 passengers during the year, also 216,053,795,096 tons of freight one mile. This made the passenger earnings $519,826,434; freight earnings $1,050,313,020, and other earnings $15S,r 218,075. The operating expenses, taxes, etc., when paid, left the roads a surplus of $151,474,773 for the year. While

this annual report shows the roads to be prosperous, yet when the amount of

capital invested is taken into consider

ation the revenues are not so large.

AN INCREASE SHOWN. Columbus, O. The State Railway

Commission shows that from the re

ports, of Ohio railways made to it for

the year ending June 30, 1907, the

railroads on the whole showed a net increase in passenger earnings of $1,332,282.46, as compared with the year ending June 30, 1906. The Ohio 2-cent fare act went into effect March 10, 1906, so that in comparing the last year with the former a complete 2-cent fare year is compared with a 3-cent year, lacking only a little less than three months. The reports do not show that any additional passenger equipment was procured and no complaints from the public of inadequate service have come, so that the commission concludes that the 2-cent fare has been

helpful to the railroads and their patrons in this State. HAVE BEEN ABOLISHED. Excess fares on the eighteen-hour special and all other fast passenger trains on the Pennsylvania railroad in Pennsylvania have been abolished on account of the new 2-cents-a-mile passenger fare law, which became effective' Monday midnight, according to the Pittsburg PoBt. Hereafter the company will not charge more than a flat rate of 2 cents a mile on any of its fastest trains, although to adopt the present fast schedule it required many practical, tests, much hard work anl the expenditure of vast sums for high class equipment.

One of the most curious clocks in the world is said to be that which tells the time to the inhabitants of a

little American backwoods town. The machinery which is nothing but a face,

hands and lever, is connected with a geyser which shoots an immense col

umn of hot water every thirty seconds. This spouting never varies to the tenth of a second. Every time the water

spouts up it strikes the lever and moves the hands forward thirty-eight seconds. American Home Monthly.
