Items Gathered in From Far and Near
At Richmond, on Sunday, some
months ago, a raid on the principal
hotel in the city was made. A large ' quantity of liquor was found in a bath room on the second floor of the hotel,
and confiscated. Two men were found J
in the room when the police broke in the door. A cplored waiter was on hand, and in the consignment was a large quantity of beer in bottles. The Wayne county prosecutor, after negotiating with the attorneys for the proprietor of the hotel, announces that he will not prosecute the hotel man
under the blind tiger act, hut will aim-
ply have him fined for permitting
liquor to be sold upon the premise
without a license. In the face of all
this evidence, a former trial showed that a jury could not be secured In
Richmond that would convict under the blind tiger act. AH this throws
light upon the sincerity of the claim
that Richmond went wet in fear of the blind tiger. It has the blind tiger now and proposes to keep him, along with the saloon. In Marion, - on evidence
much weaker than that offered against
the hotel proprietor at Richmond, a blind tiger, operator was given a jail sentence and fine the other day that
will mean two years confinement. Ma

THE DICTATOR
In the first place it should be called to mind that the mayor is only the executive (or should be) he is not (and should not be) the legislative part of the government which represents the people. That brings up a very serious reason why Gordon should never be mayor of this town. In brief with the aid of his newspaper he would be more than mayor a dictator a miniature mayor a city bosslet. And this at the price of every man's reputation who dared oppose him.
In the past he has made insinuations against those who dared stand up against what he has admitted are "off hand" quickly considered judgments. This is ingrained in the man he could not change his character. This is bad enough in a man who does not own and control a newspaper bad enough in a private citizen who is a candidate on the republican ticket. Have you thought what it would mean if Gordon were mayor? How very desirable to have a back-biting, snarling auspicious and insinuating man for mayor, with the full control of his newspaper to attack anybody, everything and every measure of which he, with a superabundance of narrow egotism did not for the moment approve! The mayor is not the legislative branch of the city. Council is. The mayor, in the wisdom of the framers of the city government has only the right to veto, and to vote in case of a tie. Suppose Gordon vetoed some measure of which he momentarily did not approve or had deluded himself about? What then? ,- Can't you imagine what he will da then? He with the "off hand" decision of which he it so proud, will proceed forthwith, to blast the reputation and insinuate against the man's honor who stands against him. ' And this without waiting to find out whether he "owes an apology."

ould be impossible to reach Rich

Notwithstanding this ! fact Richmond
now ranks high as a railroad center.
Would be Good Venture. There are smaller cities within
short distances of Richmond that
would amply repay all efforts to connect with them. Winchester, with
Fountain City and Lynn as interme
diate points, would furnish excellent
service. A road connecting with New Castle and Hagerstown and further on with Anderson and Muncie and the gas belt would be invaluable to Rich
mond. Cincinnati and other southern points might be tapped to advantage.

that direction are not far off.
We envy no one of the present candidates for councilman their office if Gordon becomes mayor. Will any of them dare to vote against a measure that Gordon has not himself commanded to be introduced by issuing ' an order through his newspaper? Pleasant indeed to do so and find that overnight you have become a crook when just before, you had been assured by the same bosslet (because you have bended the knee) that you are incorruptable. ' Will a man dare vote as he thinks right, if Gordon has not already rendered snap judgment on it in the editorial column of. his paper?
The Czarlet of Little Russia, has scarcely greater power. Lese majeste.
" SINCE GORDON WITH THE AID OF PART OF HIS PRESENT ORvT
GANIZATION DOUBLE CROSSED CAMPBELL AND SUCCEEDED IN NOMINATING BARNARD BY BREAKING HIS PLEDGE TO MR. CAMPBELLHE SEEMS SO CONFIDENT OF HIS POWER TO MANIPULATE THE PARTY THAT THE TOWN, TOO, OFFERS ATTRACTIONS IN THE DICTATORSHIP. HE MAY ASPIRE EVEN HIGHER SINCE HE HAS BECOME "THE BEST MAN TO LEAD THE REPUBLICAN HOSTS." AND HE IS THE MORE CONFIDENT IN THIS SINCE WITH THE OTHER PART OF HIS ORGANIZATION HE DECLARES THAT HE MADE THE TOWN WET, AND THEREFORE CAN RUN THE TOWN. ' AND THIS IDEA IS NOT OF RECENT ORIGIN, FOR BY ATTACKING A MAIN STREET JEWELER SHORTLY AFTER THE FALL FESTIVALBY. TRYING TO INTIMIDATE HIM INTO ADVERTISINGHE THOUGHT THEN THAT HE COULD RUN THE TOWN.
Pray tell us, if he gets the mayor's office if he gets the power to bulldoze council with his newspaper and to misrepresent his official acts to the people, what will he do? Will a councilman stop and hold to his belief? Or will he think of his wife, his children and his good name, and what may appear in the Item? ' -: . -J '
No doubt the reason that Mr. Gordon will not devote ALL his time to being mayor is because he will not be content with being mayor. He would like to t be council dictator and political boss at the same time. And even if Gordon should take all his time to being mayor that is bad enough but think of the additional power of coercion which his newspaper and his methods of attack give him. Gordon announces confidently that he will not "allow" anything to be railroaded through council which translated means only that council will not be allowed to pass anything which he, Gordon, does not railroad himself.
IT MAY BE THAT SOME OF THESE "OFF HAND" JUDGMENTS OF. GORDON'S MAY BE MORE HARMFUL IN THE CITY'S BUSINESS THAN IN THE COLUMNS OF HIS NEWSPAPER MINUS THE OFFICE OF MAYOR.
