FREEDOM FROM WALL STREET. The suspension of the Knickerbocker Trust company of New York City while it is greatly to be deplored, nevertheless, affords a striking illustration of the new freedom of the rest of the country's financial institutions from Wall street's dominance in their affairs. Time was when a suspension of such a nature would shake the nation and precipitate a wide-spread panic. But the suspension of the Knickerbocker Trust company caused a financial disturbance in New York alone. It comes as a fitting climax to the careers' of those frenzied financiers by which confidence in our entire financial fabric has been shaken the world over. It is no use for New York bankers to lay the blame on President Roosevelt. They and they alone are to blame, for they have allowed their institutions to be prostituted to the ese uses of the basest lot of financiers the world ever produced. As President Roosevelt has said time and again, his campaign is not waged against the honest business man but against the business man who makes use of downright criminal tactics in order to enrich himself. And we do not blame the president for this present Wall street panic and bank disaster but rather the Morgans, Ityans, Rockefellers, Harrimans and that class of citizens, who have preyed upon our financial and personal liberties like a lot of bloodthirsty vampires. If the present panic in Wall street will only work out the elimination of some of these choice citizens of ours we will all have cause to congratulate ourselves and President Roosevelt.
Richmond Is to Be Made Into Such by the C, C. & L. Road Soon.
CHANGES ARE BEING MADE.
PEOPLE WHO SPEND THE WINTER IN WARM CLIMATES ARE BEGINNING TO ASK ABOUT RATES RAILROAD NEWS.
Richmond will soon be made the freight division point for the C, C. & L. railroad. A large number of men employed on the road will remove their families to this city as soon as arrangements are completed whereby the road can inaugurate the new system. The C, C. & L. is now carrying on extensive improvements on the South Side, where a new freight yard will be arranged. The work has been progressing several weeks, and it is hoped by railroad officials to complete this before Nov. 1. It is the general opinion that the new yards cannot be completed before that date however. A large overhead bridge is being constructed over the Boston pike south of Richmond while a large force of men is employed grading for the new yards. About one half mile of tracks has already been laid near South J street. By the new arrangement practically all local freight, crews will make their runs out of Richmond, both north and south.
ASKING ABOUT RATES. Although the cold weather has scarcely made its appearance in this section of the country, Richmond people who spend the winters in Florida or in California, are now beginning to inquire of the rates that will be in effect. Each year tbn Pennsylvania handles a large number of people from this section of the country to the south and far west. The C, C. & L. railroad also does considerable business with trans-continental traffic. Beautiful advertising setting forth the natural beauties of both Florida and Canada, issued by the railroad companies, is slowly finding its way to local ticket offices.
MEANS NOTHING HERE. The suspension of the Knickerbocker Trust company means practically nothing to the bankers of Richmond. Our financial Institutions in this city do not invest their funds i nthe securtles of the New York stock market but loan them locally almost entirely. They keep their money at home where it Is under their personal observation all the time and they make just as much money as they would if they
turned it over to New York bankers
or placed It in New York stocks and bonds without the element of risk that goes with investments in those stocks and bonds. It is the same thing in practically all the western bauks and trust companies. They don't dabble in eastern stocks and bonds and as a result their position is unassailable even when New York banks are exerting every effort as they are doing now to avert serious trouble. Western banks and trust companies have well earned the confidence the people hold in them. And they should guard that good opinion as their dearest possession and greatest asset. Let the eastern banks and trust companies be just as speculative as their depositors caro to have them but let the western banks and trust companies remain as they always have in the banking business alone.
FORTY YEARS' SERVICE. Andy Wiese this week completes forty years service with the Panhandle line as car inspector. He has been chief inspector thirty years and commenced with three men under him and now has sixty at work daily inspecting cars. He has the credit of having inspected the first Pullman car run over these lines. Mr. Wieso has made several visits to Richmond and is well known here among the older railroad men.
WORK NOW COMPLETED
The Lake at Glen Miller Has Been Dredged.
The work of dredging the lake at Glen Miller park has been completed and the lake has been refilled almost to its former depth. All improvement work In the park is finished. It is thought by city officials that no great improvements can be made on the park, further than those made this year, as the condition of the city treasury will not warrant it.
UNIFORM CAR SERVICE. The new uniform car service rule, designed to apply to all the railroads in the United States, which was formulated at the request of the Interstate Commerce commission, will come up for final action when a committee of the American Railway Association, which has prepared the new rule, meets in New York, Oct. 30. In compliance with the request of that body a called meeting of the car service rule committee of the National Industrial Traffic league is to be held at the same time and p7ace. The two
bodies will go over the new rules to
gether and make such changes and modifications as they may think necessary. POSTING FREIGHT TARIFFS.
The Interstate Commerce commis
sion held a hearing at Washington on
the reQuirment of the law that freight
tariffs of the various railroads be posted conspicuously in all stations. The carriers expressed their desire to do everything reasonable in the matter
of furnishing their rates to the shippers, but pointed out that if the commission compelled them to furnish at
every station on their line posted in formation concerning the rates to ev
ery possible point in the United States
it would be an unreasonable and un fair burden. It means not only an en
ormous expense, but, technical minutiae which might require months, if
not years, to work out. SHOWS A DECREASE. Arthur Hale, chairman of the American Railway association committee on car efficiency, has issued Bulletin No. 7, showing surpluses and shortages of freight cars September IS and October 2. As compared with previous reports, this one shows marked decreases in the surplus and corresponding Increases in shortages. The num
ber of roads reporting on October 2 was, however, 23 less than on September IS, so that the difference between

Afflicted with Sore Eyes for 33 Years.
I have been afflicted with sore eyes for thirty-three years. Thirteen years ago I became totally blind and was blind for six years. My eyes were badly inflamed. One of my neighbors insisted upon my trying Chamberlain's Salve and gave me half a box of it. To my surprise it healed my eyes and my sight came back to me. P. C. Earls, Cynthiana, Ky. Chamberlain's Salve is for sale by A. G. Luken & Co.

Indianapolis, Oct. 23. Indiana florists
are preparing for their annual flower show, to be held November 13 and 14 at the conservatories of A. Wiegand & Sons. Formerly the State Florists' Association of Indiana held its annual shows at Tomlinson Hall. Admission was charged and large premiums were offered. This year no charge will be made for admission, but premiums will be paid just the same. These will be provided out. of a special fund contributed to by members of the association and flower-loving citizens. By keeping the flowers in a conservatory their freshness will be preserved longer than could be possible in a hall.
! Blooms will be exhibited by many florists outside of the state. Reservations have been made by eastern growjers and florists in Chicago. Chrysanthemums this year are said to be larger IftAi mora gorgeous than ever. Hundreds
of varieties will be on exhibition. Roses, too. will be on display in profusion. The demand is Increasing all the time for new colors in roses, and to meet this demand Indiana florists have been working overtime in an effort to produce new varieties. Results of this work will be exhibited at the coming show. Richmond will be well represented at the show.
