HITCHCOCK IS A POWER AS MANAGER Has Set the Wheels in Great Republican Machinery With a Jump.

TRANSFER STATION AN IMPORTANT ONE BAILEY REPLIES TO SOCIAL STUDENT WHO WILL WIN?

FUR

WILL SWEEP EVERYTHING.

HAS STARTED SUCH A VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN THAT AN OVERWHELMING VICTORY TOR RE PUBLICANS IS ASSURED. ; Washington, July 17. Frank II. Hitchcock, national commute chairman, has started the whole vast force of the republican campaign macninery moving with a suddenness that has amazed everybody. Dates for formal openings of the fight against Bryan might as well be wiped off the slate. The campaign has already begun in earenst and will be kept going until November with all the resistless energy that Mr. Hitchcock Is capable of infusing into the undertaking. The whole gospel of war, according to the great Confederate leader, Forrest, was summed up in the doctrine "Git thar fustest with the mostest men." This is substantially the Hitchcock doctrine, and on his return here from New York he set out to apply It with a dispatch that amazed even his immediate subordinates. He refused to see any visitors during the day. He busied himself eating up various men in New York and elsewhere over the long distance telephone. He also called up Hot Springs and had a long talk with Mr. Taft. Chairman Will Work Rapidly. It is safe to predict that at the rate Mr. Hitchcock has set the battle going, it will be practically over before the opposition . knows it has begun. When Hitchcock took hold of the Taft pre-conventlon campaign he worked with a celerity that surprised his opponents, and had state after state surrounded before the "Allies" waked up. He has set out to repeat his performance In the pre-election campaign. , The chairman departed for Chicago a,t 3:40 o'clock yesterday afternoon, accompanied by James T. Williams, who will assist him throughout the campaign. He will be in Chicago just long enough to engage headquarters and then will go to Colorado Springs where next Monday and Tuesday he will confer with republican leaders, including national committemea and state chairmen of every state west of the Missouri. Nothing is to be taken for granted. This is a rule that Mr. Hitehcock has laid down at the outset He is making no predictions as to results. The first thing he wants to learn is situa tions. He is confident the victory will be overwhelming both as to president and the house, but he is making no forecasts at this time. He recognizes that the fight is to be in the west and has determined to force the fighting from the outset. Chicago to Be Headquarters. While not yet announced there Is good authority for stating that the national chairman will be in Chicago during most of the campaign and will personally direct the work from there. The Chicago headquarters will be unto accommodating a lare force of employes. Mr. Hitchcock will urge the , state chairmen in every case to follow up his conferences with them by state conferences, at which the state chairman will meet the county and local leaders. ' The national and congressional campaigns will be carried forward In unison as far as possible. - Chairman Hitchcock will follow the plan of meeting the leaders personally ;throughout the campaign when possible. He believes in that system. Where he can not meet hem he will talk with them ove the long distance telephone, as In the pre-T-aavcntion campaign. Whlie he will spend most of his time In Chicago, he will not neglect New York headquarters, and will make frequent trips between the two cities. FEELING AGAINST EAREY OPENING OF STATE CAMPAIGN (Continued From rage One.)

ceptance of Carnegie's offer, but this has been overcome and when it appeared plain that the city must soon have more library room and better service, the economy of the Carnegie offer was made apparent. Taggart to be Watched. The call for Tom Taggart at the Kern demonstration Wednesday night, is being speculated on. The demand that he respond came from a part of . the crowd that seemed to have been V primed for the incident. There was nothing spontaneous nor general about It. The national chairman modestly stepped to the front, bowed his acknowledgements and retired. It seemed to embarrass him, for he was rather out of his usual company so far as those on the speakers' stand were concerned. In fact Taggart will find himself in strange company throughout the campaign, and under the watchful eye of Bryan will be compelled to walk the straight ami narrow path.

Great Amount of Mail Handled By Postoffice Clerks at Local Station.

PROTECT REGISTERED MAIL UNUSUAL PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY UNCLE SAM TO KEEP PACKAGES FROM BEING TAMPERED WITH STATION CROWDED. There are few people is the city who realize that Richmond has one of the most important transfer stations in the country at the Panhandle depot. There is more mail, both registered and unregistered, handled here than at any other place in the state. The importance of this station has just been realized since the removal of tne stamp envelop factory from Hartford, Conn., to Dayton, O., which makes the Richmond transfer station one of the distributing centers of the country. The amount of registered mail is increasing every day. The mail is received in the cases each day and is then distributed by Mr. O. K. Karns and his assistants to the different lines by which it will arrive in the shortest possible time. For instance the mail that is sent to Milton goes by the way of Indianapolis and down on the L. E. & W., and gets there sooner than if it had been held for a direct train to that point. Every piece of registered mail that comes into the local transfer station is first handled by them. A receipt is obtained for the same, the number of the package taken, and a description of the contents, after which it is locked in a bag made of red and white canvas. The lock is of the heaviest and strongest kind. It has a number. It also has a rotary number on the inside so that one can tell how many times it has been unlocked and it is in this manner that the postal authorities ascertain whether or not the mail has been tampered with. This red and white bag is then placed in another canvas bag which is with the usual mail bag lock and it is then ready to go on to its destination. The transfer station makes nine regular dispatches to the Richmond postoffice each day, which makes the service between the depot transfer station and the postoffice exceptionally good. Many times each week the mail clerks at the transfer station have to do their work on the outside of the building because the present facilities are overtaxed. AN ORIGINAL FORCE. ""' Sarceaa Cannot De Copied or Snoceaafully Imitated. No human being ever yet made a success trying to be somebody else even if that person was a success. Success cannot be copied, cannot be successfully imitated. It is an original force, a creative process. Every man will be a failure just in proportion as ho gets away from himself and tries to be somebody else and to express somebody else instead of himself. Power comes from within or from nowhere. Be yourself. Listen to the voice within. There is room for improvement in every profession, in every trade and in every business. The world wants men who can do things in new and better ways. Don't think because your plan or Idea has . no precedent or because you aro young and inexperienced that you will not get a hearing. The man who has anything new and valuable to give to the world will be listened to and will be followed. The man of strong individuality, who dares to think his own thought and originate his own method and who is not afraid to be himself, not a copy of some one else, quickly gets recognition. Nothing else will attract the attention of your employer or the rest of the world bo quickly as originality and unique ways of doing things, especially if they are effective. Orison Swett Marden iu Success Magazine. HEART DISEASE. Don't Let the Idea That Yon IIre It Scare Yon Into Slckneaa. Comparatively few people know that It is rare to find a perfect heartbeat. What is termed "palpitation" is an Irregularity in the beat. It is most commonly caused by some disturbance of the digestion; by undue indulgence In tea, coffee, tobacco or alcohol; by worry or by excitement. Many persona, detecting such an Irregularity, think they have some serious disease of the heart that may end their life at any moment. This is a very grave mistake in a double sense first, as to the fact Itself, and, second, as to the influence on the health of such a morbid idea. Again, there is a notion that heart disease is a destructive process; that the flesh Is affected in much the same manner as when the skin is ulcerated or the lungs are consumptive. That is very seldom true. The most serious disorders of the heart are quite different in their nature. When a man or woman Is under the impression that he or she has heart disease there is one obvious duty to visit a reliable doctor, have the heart examined and either have one's fears set at rest or be given such advice as will serve to remedy the condition.

Not a Single House of Questionable Reputation in Richmond.

SCANDAL ACTS AS CLUB. IF STATE LAWS AGAINST SOCIAL CRIMES WERE NOT ENFORCED, CITIZENS WOULD LOUDLY DEMAND PROPER CONDITIONS. Chief Bailey has written to Dr. Lanphear, the noted St. Louis authority on social questions, setting him right on the social evil existing m Rich mond. Chief Bailey in his letter in formed Dr. Lanphear that he had badly miscalculated the social cordi tion of Richmond by using the social condition of Detroit as a basis of computation. After explaining to this famous sociologist that there is not a house oi ill fame or a hotel of cuestionable repu tation in the city, Chief Bailey stated this was due to the fact that the state laws did not permit the operation of such places. If the local police department did not enforce these laws, it was explained to Dr. Lanphear. the department would become envolved in an unde:rable scandal. Chief Bailey also informed Dr. Lanphear that there were no public prostitutes in the city and that there were not more than one hundred women who bore reputations of being loose characters. Dr. Lanphear's estimate that there were seventy houses of ill fame in the city, and that five hundred of the estimated seven thousand women over the age of fourteen years were women of loose character is laughed at by the local authorities. It is thought that Dr. Lanphear is of the opinion that the American people are less virtuous than they really are. ARE AFTER TALBOT Government Wants Supreme President of Order of Owls. USED MAILS FRAUDULENTLY Chattanooga, Tenn., July 17. Federal warrants were issued here for W. H. Talbot, supreme president of the Order of Owls, of South Bend, Jnd., charging him with the fraudulent use of the mails. When Talbot was running for re-election as president, beloie the lodge split up at its meeting in Knoxville, Talbot came to this city, it is alleged and directed many letters to different parts of the country, asking for support. It is claimed that' he signed the names of the secretaries of the Chattanooga, Chicago and Milwaukee lodges to these letters. FAC I O MDWU I mtnivu. There are ten volcanoes in Mexico. Mexico has a coast line of over 6,000 miles. Mexico has vast deposits of onyx and marble. Mexico has fifty-nine lakes and great lagoons. The area of Mexico is about 750,000 square miles. Cotton factories in Mexico employ over 25,000 people. The "valley" of Mexico is 7,500 feet above the sea level. Mexico Is about ten times larger than Great Britain. The traveler in Mexico is seldom out of sight of mountains. The rainy season generally lasts from May to September. There are probably 300,000 men employed in the mine of Mexico. Mexico is the richest mineral conntry in the world, not excepting Teru. The largest state is Chihuahua, with an area of nearly 90,000 square miles. Quantities of sulphur are mined In the craters of several extinct volcanoes. Modern Mexico. Taught Him How to Die. It was after seeing Henry Irving act as Becket that a young Japanese studying theology in this country said to a friend who took him: "I thank you very much for making me remain. You know, I may have to suffer some day for holding to what I believe to be the truth, and I have often thought that I would never be able to play my part In the right way. From now on I shall never be troubled with such a thought, for when the time comes I shall remember that Henry Irving has taught me how to die. Yes, I should like to die like Becket." Thus did Becket in the flesh and Tennyson, the dramatist, and Irving, the actor, nerve the potential Christian martyr that may be. Boston Transcript. Social Opinion. Social opinion Is like a sharp knife. There are foolish people who regard it only with terror and dare not touch or meddle with it; there are more foolish people who, in rashness or defiance, seize It by the blade and get cut and mangled for their pains, and there are wise people who grasp it discreetly and boldly by the handle and use it to carve out their own purposes.

THE PEOPLE'S

TAFT FEELING COMFORTABLE First Draft of Speech in Acceptance of Nomination Completed. V0RYS VISITS CANDIDATE. SENATORIAL SITUATION IN THE STATE OF OHIO IS GIVEN 80ME CONSIDERATION AND PLAN OF ACTION WILL BE DEVISED. Hot Springs, Va., July 17. W. H. Taft is feeling very comfortable over the fact that the first draft of his Bpeech in acceptance of the nomination for the presidency by the republican party has been finished. But the paper Is far from being complete. Mr. Taft adopted the course of dictating the speech with great fullness. Including everything he might possibly care to have In it. with the view to cutting It down so that only essentials briefly stated might remain to be presented to the people at Cincinnati July 28. The dictation amounted to 10,000 words that will be reduced to as nsar 3,600 as possible. Mr. Taft completed his task yesterday afternoon and then went out to play golf with George Ingalls, Arthur I. Vorys, In charge of the Ohio campaign, walking over the golf links with them. Arthur I. Vorys will be here several days and will have conferences with Mr. Taft on the situation In Ohio. One of the subjects it is believed that will receive attention is that relat'ng to the senatorship. When Mr. Taft's attention was called to the absence of any representative of Senator Foraker at the recent gathering of leaders representing various candidates for the nomination, he replied that he had seen Senator Dick in Washington before coming here, but gave no intimation of the purpose of the conference. It is believed here that before Mr. Vorys returns to Ohio there nill be some definite plan of action in relation to the Foraker men. It is not believed that any agreement for the sup port of Mr. Foraker by the Taft forces for re-election to the senate will be suggested or entertained, but Mr. Vorys has been very explicit while here in declaring that the managers of the national campaign in Ohio will pursue a policy of hands off In relation to the senatorial situation. Not Convinced. Many years ago Henry Tettitt hap pened to meet an old schoolfellow. "By tte way," said his friend, "art you any relation to Henry Pettltt, the dramatist?" "I am he," replied Tettitt "No, no," was the reply. "I mean thi great Henry Pettltt who writes play? for Drttry Lane." "Yes." said Henry modestly; "thafi me." "Well," said his friend, with disgust, "yon always were a liar, Pettltt" Lon don Telegraph.
