Now then, Mr. Man who howl, about the dictatorial methods of President Roosevelt, who is the real dictator of the United States? President Roosevelt or E. II. Harriman? From the remark alluded to above it can easily be 6een that Harriman, or at least he imagines 60, Is the real dictator of this country. He takes a stand that bis actions are above interference from the law of the United States, and if that lsr't purely the thought of a dictator we give it up. Really, getting down to the meat of the question, it would be p blessing I? we could make President Roosevelt the absolute dictator of the United States with the power of life and death over all of us for a term of years. But we 1 would expect him to use that power to tend to their enternal punishment such men as E. H. Harriman and his Associates. Alive, such men are a constant menace to the freedom of every individual in the l&nd. Dead, we rould bless their ashes and use them tor fertilizing something bettor thuu the watered stocks of Wall street. And we mean It. We truthfully believe the best thing this country could do would be to place all our E. II. Harrimans up against a stone wall and let a squad of soldiers perform the last sad rited over them. It would be good and nuick riddance for bad rubbish. THE TINY SCIARA. A Proceaalon of Worirti Seen In Hod aary and Norway.

FOREIGN LABORERS ARE SCARCER ON THE ROADS MANAGER REYNOLDS HURT OTHER RAILROAD NEWS.

The Indiana Railroad commission has set December 2 as the date for the 'resumption of the inquiry into the rates charged by express companies in Indiana. This investigation was be- ' enin spvpral wppks atrn and was riisrrm. commission to the effect that the , i earnlngs of express companies doing i business in the state are excessive and of the am0unt of monev invested bv the companies in their business and the earnings received by them. SCARED BY THE FLURRY. According to the assertion of a local Pennsylvania official fnrpftrn lahnr f g etUng scarce aIong the railroad!. aud particularly is this true with Syrians and Macedonians. The financial flurry and money stringency is responsible. When the recent scare came. many of the men who nave been sav lng their wages for the past two years secured their money and left for their homes in Europe, where they probably will remain until the money situation eases up. Unless promised permanent employment for the winter, they would not remain in this country. MANAGER REYNOLDS HURT. C. C. Reynolds, formerly general manager of the Indianapolis & Northwestern Traction company, but now general superintendent of the merger system, the Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern, was Injured in an automo bile accident at Lebanon. The auto in which he was riding struck a wagon and a spoke struck Mr. Reynolds on the head, cutting a gash five inches long, extending from the eye across the forehead. Mr. Reynolds is well Known in Richmond. . WESTERN BUSINESS DULL. C. C. Hill, traveling pacsenger agent of the Wisconsin Central railroad, with headquarters at Chicago, reports the western business originating in the local territory to be very dull at the present time, due no doubt to the large biihiuess which was enjoyed recently when the last of the low rates were in effect.

FAIR PLAY. A Plea That la Hepected by Almoat All Claaaes of Men. There is an appeal to which nearly all classes of men give heed let us have fair play. You may address a schoolful of mischievous boys on the beauties of goodness, on the evils of cruelty or harshness to their fellows, and they will laugh at you. Exhortations to avoid any abstract evil or wroag and appeals to follow any abstract virtue will seem hazy to almost any collection of ordinary, healthy and lusty young boys, but if their sense of fair play be uddressed there is a ready response. Go among a crowd of wharfingers or longshoremen or the roughest and most reckless sailors, who have neither home nor principles of any sort, and talk to them of the things of the head or of the heart, and they will think that you are a harmless but quite futile specimen from crankdom. Try to awaken in them a horror of the brutality of their usual life, speak in moving terms of the force aud beauty of kind ness or of virtue or of any attribute of a polite and civilized society and way of life, and you will be soliciting the wind, talking to a statue, shouting in the desert. But in the most uncouth assemblage and in the vilest haunt in the English speaking world mention fair play and found your argument and your plea on that basis, and the effect is instant and eloquent. Phil idelphla Ledger. Overloaded. Corned beef hash as made by Senator Hanna's cook was very popular in Washington several years ago. When the head waiter of the senate restaurant wauted hash prepared very carefully he ordered it this way: "One corued beef bash for Senator Ilanua." One day wheu the restaurant was doing a heavy business almost everybody seemed to want corned beef hash. "Corned beef hash for Senator Uanna" had been ordered fourteen times. When the fifteenth order went down to the kitchen the chef shouted: "That's Manna! founder fifteen orders for Senator Lied better watch out or he'll hisself." Saved the Sltaatloa. "Ha- here comes Ratcliffe with a dagger! My last moment has arrived:' exclaims one of the characters in a new melodrama. Unfortunately, however, the actor representing Ratcliffe had forgotten the dagger and come on the stage without it. But he was e.jual to the occasion. "Villain." he exclaimed, "thou thonghtst thou sawst a dagger in mine hand. Twas thine evil conscience supplied the vision. But I will slay thee with a blow of this strong right hand," which he proceeded to do. Paved streets of New York city are long enough to reach from the Atlantis oceaa to Pike's PaaJc
