The consistency of the city attorney In the electric railway franchise matter Is a remarkably well-defined example of the sort of administration the city is experiencing under the Schillinger democratic regime. If the reeults of this administration could be discounted, it mignt do termed a "comedy of errors," but the power is so held that the only joke is on the public. Mr. Study purposes holding up the Dayton & Western Traction company for a franchise and in order to accomplish this ma, he declares himself against the'very franchise he approved, for the Terro Haute, In dianapolis Sc. Eastern company, but a short time ago. It is a situation that seeds the guiding hand . of the Richmond business men, else personal Quarrels may be worked into munici pal affairs. Mayor Schillinger ras elected on a pledge to promote business industry in Richmond but if his "business" ideas consist of building a sateless barb wire fence around the city, as it would seem, his original policies should fill a worthy book. Muncie. Anderson, Terre Haute, Indianapolis, Dayton, Columbus and Hamilton are progressive cities, where business has meant busi ness and not a hedging policy of ultraconservatism. It i just this extrem 1st point of, view that has thrown Rich mond Into the rut of a tenth-class city. Last year, the municipality passed its one hundredth birthday, and never has its population reached the dizzying height of 25.000. Cities, like institutions, must either grow or else crum ble and decay. All life is the same; new blood must be Introduced to keep the old from getting stagnant. And

where is the "new blood" la Richmond? This city can not even furnish employment for the hundreds of young men who are born az? reared here and would remain in their native city if advantages were offered. But there are not places for them all; not places for even half. Every year scores leave to seek new fields and many become successful, helping to make other cities and other communities thrive. It is a deplorable fact, but it must be admitted, and it is only through such short-sighted policy as is about to be applied to the Dayton & Western company that this is brought about. Richmond has more natural advantages than any city in the state, yet its standing is low. The argument is put forth that the Dayton fc Western company does not pay any taxes in Richmond and therefore should not be allowed to operate free of criarge. But what is the difference? The cars run over the tracks of a company that does pay taxes. The Dayton & Western corporation is exacted a rental for the use of these, tracks. If they did not come into our city, Richmond would get the same amount in taxation as at present, but would have no electric line to the east. If they do come into the city, there is no change in the city's revenue, but the merchants and business men profit. After all. government is maintained not to accumulate (ash. but to better the condition of the people. That point seems to have been lost sight of in the present matter and the public is oppressed by its own municipal corporation rather than by any railway corporation. There is no call for a conservative policy at this time. Every business man will testify to this statement and the sentiment of the commercial body should be made the controlling factor. Council should give free right to the Dayton & Western company to operate its passenger and freight cars into Richmond.

"They're off!" Not the horses, but Madame Gould and Prince Helie. These international marriages are like baloon races; when the golden ballast Is gone, they go 'way up in the air. If all the people charged by the newspapers with "hiding behind the veil of insanity" are really there, they night to start a town as big as New York. The, Connecticut man who offered to sell his body is less remarkable than some of the politicians who don't quote much of a price on their souls. All these politicians should remem ber that it does not hurt to be mentioned for the vice-presidency. "You're It," cries the Denver pot at the Chicago kettle. Temporary Officers Of Denver Convention.

CASTAWAYS HAVE BEEN RESCUED They Lived Crusoe Life Antipodes Island. on Victoria, B. C. July $. While -sending a farewell message fastened by a quill to an albatross's neck one of a series of daily messages recounting briefly the story of the wreck on Antipodes Island, 40MO south, 17S:43 east, of the French bark President Felix Faure, twenty-two starving French sailors were rescued by the British warship Pegasus and brought to Sydney. The castaways, who lived a Crusoe life, fashioned their utensils in the same resourceful way as the Crusoe of Juan Fernandez, scrambled ashore on Antipedes Island, south of New Zealand and near where the survivors of the British bark Dundonald were rescued months before after their vessel had been driven ashore during a fog in March last. The men were ravenous when rescu ed, having been on short rations for some time. They had needles made out of blades of pocket knives, dinner knives from an Iron hoop torn from a cask washed from the wreck, hair combs from bush thorns, fish hooks from bent nails and spoons from shells. CRAWLS TO RESCUE CARRYING HIS LEG Man Has Member Amputated Under Train. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 8. Carrying his amputated leg in his arm. John Ortkuski, from whom it had been cut off on the Lehigh Valley Railroad three miles this side of White Haven, crawled fully a quarter of a mile in an effort to reach that city. He was then discovered by railroaders. He was thrown under the wheels of a freight train while trying to jump aboard, and his leg was cut off at the knee. He bound the stump in his shirt, stopped the bleeding, and then, carrying the amputated leg in his arm, crawled onward. His remarkable courage and strength surprised the physicians, and they believe he will recover. MASONIC CALENDAR. Wednesday Evening, July 8. Richmond Lodge No. 196, F. & A.

BRYAN MAY NOT . GO TO DENVER

Claims to Know of No Contingency Which Might Take Him There. WATCHES HIS HARVEST. WHILE RECEIVING CONVENTION BULLETINS ON NEBRASKA FARM, COMMONER ATTENDS TO CUTTING OF ALFALFA. Lincoln. Neb.. July K. There were few visitors to Fairview today and none of importance in a political way. This did not, however, mean that Mr. Bryan was not busy. His day begun early and before breakfast the special wire between his office and Denver was pouring in telegrams which required replies. To persistent inquiries as to whether he would go to the convention, Mr. Bryan stated that at present he had no thought of doing so and knew of no contingency which might arise to take him to Denver. "You can not tell what the future will bring forth." said he. "but I know now of nothing which will take me to the convention city." Although there has been a permanent telegraph office established in a cottage in close proximity to the Bryan home, for convention purposes, a special wire was run to his office, and at his desk, near which the telegraph operator had been placed. Mr. Bryan spent most of his time until the convention adjourned. Visiting delegations and calls of personages high in the councils of the party during the last six days had given he democratic leader but little opportunity to read his voluminous correspondence. Watches Alfalfa Too. Bryan watched the convention bulletins closely, and those reporting occasions which brought forth applause from the Denver gathering were read with evident satisfaction and contented smiles, but not with looks of surprise. News from the convention did not prevent him. however, from taking a lively interest in the harvesting of his j alfalfa crop, and he viewed with con- j cern the prospect of its being garnered before another rain should coma. BUYS THE OLIVER P. MORTON HOMESTEAD Mining Professor to Return to Centerville. Centerville, Ind., July S.

Denver, Colo., July S. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth and Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt occupied boxes near each other at the convention yesterday and today. They also met for the first time. As Mrs. Ixmgworth and her party entered the passageway to the chairman's box they were approached bv a tall young woman with fresh complexion and in a light tan embroidered princess, with coat to match and a large picture hat. "Mrs. Iongworth, may I present myself? I am Mrs. Leavitt. I have been wanting to meet you for a long time." The daughter of the president of the United States extended her hand and smiled a cordial Rooseveltian smile to the daushter of the commoner. The two young women, the most interesting, ones of their sex at the convention, talked for a few moments, then "Princess Alice"' introduced Mrs. Leavitt to her husband and her cousin Miss Robinson i-nri Mrs. McCormick. Few in the convention knew th? daughter of W. J. Bryan, who sat modestly in her box with a party of friends, but when Mrs. Longworth entered the chairman's box every femin ine head in her vicinity was turned to gaze upon her. She was gowned in an ecru linen suit, three-quarters coat, and a hat of contrasting shades of brown. Her only ornament was a diamond set buckle at the neck of a white lingerie shirt waist. Mrs. Ruth Bryan Leavitt wore a close fitting pongee suit of ecru, set off by a string of graduated amber beads. OBSERVE GOLDEN WEDDINGJN DAKOTA Former Residents of Cambridge Married Fifty Years.
