Oaly the Cem-a. of fa Its resort "ANOTHIB COUNTY GONE DRY." That is getting to be a slogan or a Baying repeated, with exultation or disgust according to circumstances. And its repetition . groas.' More I interest is taken in these elections now that the total , is approaching the fifty mark. Speculation is more rife, diaeusstonll.s more Tlvidand there Is. greater belief, in the, potency of the anti-satoon cause. - It Is common - to bear that the drinking vote Is voting out the saloons. - It is so' common that it fan not; be put aside as mere emotion; It Indicates a fact. ' Muncie and Delaware county, how ever, present something more than food for speculation. The latter be comes the banner county in this con test which has landed nearly fifty counties "dry." This was not unex pected; the inspiration -of it neverthe less is correspondingly great. But greater still is that of Muncie. This is the largest town in the state that Has so lar voted "dry," presenting a tinging contrast to Richmond. Mun ch? --l.m'"tttrracmint6wint boasts of commercialism. The Ball brothers tad several thousand other mechanics dominate that town. We are told always that the working-man will not have aa Interference with bis "liberties," by which is meant an ap-j petite for drink and Its gratification; an adaptation of the English campaign rhyme: ,. ' , D n his eyes if ever he tries A To rob the poor man of his beer. Why the poor man should be suppos ed: to be any fonder of drink than the rich man we do not Know. - W have; had high ecclesiastical authority de nominating the saloon;, as Jthe "poor: ' injurs club'-a fine commentary on the poor man's taste, surely! Wen, Muncie Is a young giant in the way of a manufacturing town, and there was a fine chance to prove the theory. Consequently the campaign was "hot," measured even by the temperature of a quadrennial campaign. And one of those Ban brothers was astride n horse, riding at the head of the antisaloon procession! The sight was pro phetic. We have this town of thousands of worklngmen, constituting rel atively to large a part of tha popula tion, going "dry." Looked at from whatever standpoint, Muncie and Del aware have set a pace and precedent, tha significance of which is to be understood without explanation. This sturdy city, with Its Urge i army of workmen, baa made a record that will stand against the aspersion that the wQrkingmaa peculiarly , must and will have saloons. Indianapolis News.

; The Gordon "- And now J. Bennett Gordon -tnrfs

with passionate appeal on the bosom

William Dudley Foulke to prove to the citizens of Richmond, with uncontrovertible evidence, that he has really been dry and that he really Is a republican, and that he lead? he bunch.

This is another one of his consistent off-hand decisions.. It only proves that J. Bennett cannot be counted on by any class of citizens, or as he once said: "They don "t know what the hell I'll do next" But one thing he did do4-that is to admit his weakness. He did that when he implored aid. j . J. Bennett has claimed a great deal of credit for his political shrewdness that too, seems to have been a minus quantity or variable. But still It is In line with his other proceedings. Does Gordon think that, either the wet vote or the dry votes knows where he is 'at now. There is an old saying about swapping horses while crossing the stream, and there is another, "Whom the Gods destroy they first make mad." And it is the sheerest madness" which has prompted him to give up his wet friends In the hope that the drys have a short memory. ; . For him who dig3 his own political grav, and crawls into it burys himself and; has 5 the slightly wilting bouquets of William Dudley Foulke and the Reverend Wade heaped upon him, there may be a feeling of pity for the; dead, but over the grave there should be put the tombstone inscribed, "Here lies the contortionist who broke his neck while performing his last flip-flop."

On Being Dictated To ' The people of this town must feel complimented now that J. Bennett Cordon has tried, through the Reverend Wade and the Hon. wO D. Foulke, to dictate to the citizens that he is the man. There has been and will be more resentment and we feel the "resentment of the interference in a muddled situation as keenly as any one. J. Bennett has commenced his dictatorship by dictating through these men as to how the town should .vote. The town itself may have something to say about that It is a striking commentary that J. Bennett should need to be bolstered up and that he

should endeavor to flip-flop over to

is a commentary that be sbould need to dictate to tne people in the bope of getting the nomination. But that will not lessen the matter of the dictation. We have constantly asserted that we had enough confidence In the citizens of Richmond to believe that they would vote as it seemed best to them when the time came. Apparently J. Bennett does not cherish the aame confidence in the citizens--apparently his good points are not plainly enough to be seen. . Therefore behold he flops and dictates.

And now that the Reverend Wade political barometer, didn't he prophesy 1,400?

Another Gordon Flip-Flop Although it is unnecessary to show any further evidence in the matter of the light plant and Gordon, we call the attention to the following editorial of August 19, 1902 when he aaid that the time had come to aell to sell the plant, although the plant had been well managed. He then aaid that municipal ownership is a failure and that it was the time to go back to private ownership.; -.- cr vc Now .that he U running for mayor, Gordon says that the light plant ought to be retained and that he has always been in favor of municipal ownership and he defies anyone to show anything to the contrary. This is another Gordon flip-flop.

. !TW E,My N'CIPAJL JpJSHT RUflT,.w t . - "The complaints against the management of the municipal light plant are unfair, and if those uttering them are not careful they will condemn

themselves out of their own mouth.

; cpniposed of business men who have made far better success, in life than those who pose as their critics. They know their business and they know how to conduct a business. . They are serving the city" practically without salary and it is showing them a lamentable lack of good breeding to rake them over the coals because the light , plant is pot . .making a . financial success.;;,,;: Li 2 : "As we have taken occasion to say many times before, you can't make a silk purse cut of a sows ear, and there is no use wasting time trying to breed a derby, winner out of a government mule. ,The municipal light plant will never pay unless the day of miracle. returns. It will pass

through the history of every other

eternal and ever increasing expense. Thousands of dollars will ba spent in the first years of its operation for new machinery and charged to original cost in order to keep the expenses small. Thousands more will be spent later on and harj?ed to equipment in order to keep the expense ac- - count down. But the taxpayers will foot the bills and damn the men who saddled it on the'eity, no matter to what account the money is charged. As time passes and the plant does not pay, the commissioners will be unjustly criticised because they do not perform impossibilities. These commissioners being business men, and working for nothing, will not care to take, criticism and, will resign, and political wire pullers and incompetents win fill the board, because self-respecting me,n will not accept the places. Then will begin a period of graft and open theft Competent superintendents will soon shun the place, because it will add nothing to .their reputation, and men picked for political reasons will run the plant. IT WILL GO TO THE DEVIL. AND THE PEOPLE WILL FINALLY THROW UP THE SPONGE SELL IT FOR WHAT THEY CAN GET FOR IT AND GO BACK TO PRIVATE OWNERSHIP. "SUCH IS THE HISTORY OF MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP AND WE HAVE TAKEN THE FIRST STEP" ITEM, AUGUST 19. 1903.

Do you need better evidence? What does Gordon say now? Items Gathered in . i ........... From Far and Near Inexperienced, But Efficient. From the New York Times. For a child of the rich 'who had lived a sedulously protected life of the sort that is supposed to be fatal to independence and - initiative, Adele Boas in her little Journey out into the big world showed a "remarkable; efficiency in taking care of herself. Her parents thought she needed a servant to convey her to and from school, but she knew better herself, and she proceeded to demonstrate her abilities by traveling alone to Boston and on arrival there by finding without assistance both a safe place in which to sleep and something to do by which she could at least supply her imme diate needs. Certainly she is not a sentimentalist though - her thought lessness as to the sorrow and suffering her conduct would cause was ' the mark of her age rather than of any special callousness. She has the everready, and not altogether empty, excuses of childhood- she didn't mean to and she didn't think, i They never do till afterward. In that- respect they are exactly like adults In the ethnic stage of progress, which childhood duplicates so closely, to the Justification of the scientific principle that ontoge ny repeats philogyny. , , , V, .Til eri System.

FOR THE INTERESTS OF ALL THE CITIZENS. ' To The Voters Yesterday afternoon a committee

men's clubs, held a meeting at the library and decided to make an appeal to the wives and mothers of Richmond to use their influence in defeating Dr. W. W. Zimmerman in his candidacy for the republican mayoralty nomination; and to use their Influence in securing the nomination of a suitable candidate. The following communication was drafted and given to the press for publication today: Four years ago this fall the women of Richmond. Incensed past endurance by the appalling conditions existing In their city, sent the following message .to every house in it: ; ; 1 "The Women's League of Richmond, a non-partisan body, organised in the interest of dvie purity, earnestly desires to call to your attention certain statements In the report of the Grand Jury of last August "This grand jury, after finding t0at Dr. Zimmerman, while mayor of the city, had Issued In his professional capacity, certificates of good health to the inmates of a disreputable house in the city, makes the following comment: "The Jury cannot understand, however, the action of Dr. Zimmerman in this matter, for until the recent manlcipal code was enacted, aa mayor of the city, Dr. Zimmerman likewise had judicial powers and presided at police court, and his position as such mayor and police Judge, certainly re . quired him to use every effort to stamp out miedemeaaor and to cause the arrest of any person committing any misdemeanor within hie observation, which every inmate examined by him was doing, as he well knew, i The dual position In which ho has stood has extended over a period of several years, and certainly no defense can be given on the ground that it was purely a professional matter." t "The women of this city, feeling that the candidacy of a man who could do this thing was a disgrace to the city and an Insult to erery decent women in it, held on Tuesday last a mass meeting of protest, which was attended byl.200 women of all parties and creeds. ' 'At this meeting the following resolution! were unanimously adopted; "Resolved, That the Issue in tha present municipal campaign, is not whether there shall b elected as mayor of this city a republican or a democrat, but whether vice In its dangerous forms shall he protected or suppressed, l.y. - .. "Resolved, That our present mayor has by his dealings with and recognition of a most revolting traffic, which he was bylaw bound to suppress .shown himself faithless to nis trust, and unworthy of re-election. "Resolved,, That .we resent this attack on the purity of our homes and the morality of our sons and daughters, and individually pledge ourselves to do all in our power to prevent the election of the man capable of making it Their .appeal was heeded Zimmerman was defeated. The same problem, but more serious than before, confronts . us now. The Metropolitan' police law has been repealed and the mayor is once more the city Judge. It lies In his hands to determine whether violators of the law shall be punished or go free; whether vice shall regain its hold on this community. And Dr. Zimmerman is again a candidate for mayor. He has not changed he has not even pretended to reform he stands for a wide open town. , - We can not advise you which of the other candidates will make the best mayor that is a matter for you to decide. But we can earnestly entreat jou not to deliver the city over to Zimmerman, and io the face of this impending danger, to sink all differences and unite on the man best able to defeat him. even though he may not be your personal choice. Will you not save us from the disgrace and danger of having for mayor a man who could do what this man has done? MRS. JAMES W. MORRISON, President MRS. W. K. BRADBURY. Secretary. By order of the Executive Board of the Women's League.

A LOST ART. Secret of the Tools Used by the Ineae and the Aztecs. . What was the combination of. metals from which the Egyptians. Aztecs and the Incas of Pern manufactured their tools and arms? Though each of these nations reached a high state of civilization, none of them ever discovered iron in spite of the fact that the soil of an three countries was largely Impregnated with It But they substituted for It a combination of metals that had the temper of steel, and the secret of the combination is lost to mankind.'' Humboldt tried to discover the lost art by analyzing a chisel found in an ancient Inca silver mine, but all be could make of it was that it appeared to be a combination of a small portion of tin with copper. No present known way of combining' these two metals will give the hardness of steel, so there must have been something else In the chisel which Humboldt missed. And these ancient races were able to prepare pure copper so that It equaled the temper of the finest steel produced at the present day by the most scientific process. With their bronze and copper instruments they were able to quarry and shape the hardest stone, such as; granite and ; porphyry, and even cut emeralds. The ancient peoples must have independently discovered the art of tempering copper, and yet It is a secret that baffles modern scientists cf the whole civilized world. New York Ttees. - Lemon Omelet.

Harris, an old soldier and a member of. the G. A. R, has been a life long republican of the old school, and his son. Edward H. Harris, is a republican . of the samj stripe. There Is not an ounce of democratic blood in bis .veins. He has never fought against the party or its candidates. He believes there are always enough honest and competent nae ,th,n republican party to fill tee outees. without going into i&r democratic camp. No republican wi.l have to explain or apologize for his republicanism. Ed Harris is a comparatively young man. but he is close to thirty years of age. a married man with a family, and is in the full vigor of mind and body. He it a temperate and uses neither dope or intoxicating liquors and be lieves in a moral and law abiding com munity. He also believes in the sanctity of the home and that the mayor of a city should be a fit example for the boys and girls of its citizen. He thinks a good citizen is a sober citizen. That the opinions of all citizens should be respected and that because they may differ from him their character, families or their busiaeas should not be publicly assailed. Mr. Harris has worked In the shop and in the office with bis bands and with bis brains. He knows and appreciates the ideas and conditions of the shop hand and the laborer, and is experienced in the affairs of large cor porations. , His training in this line will be of great service to him and the city in dealing with the business of the city, which is only a big corpora. tion. He is correct and painstaking, in everything he does, always desiring to be strictly .right Moreover, he is progressive. As secretary of the Young Men's Business Club, he has demonstrated his ability for hard and effective work and his desire to attract attention to our city and advance its commercial interests. It la true that Mr. Harris is modest He seldom uses the big I and never boasts. Bui modesty in a candidate for office la these days is so refreshing that by it he is attracting votes to himself every day. He is not making stump speech es to the shopmen there te too mucn I of the demagogue about this to suit him. Mr. Harris Is absolutely truthful and honest consequently he has never had to sidestep, apologise or ex plain. Mr. Harris would give to Richmond a good business administration. He favors all needed reforms and improve ments consistent with the city's rer enues. He tninaa everytning- poasiDie should be don that will attract peopl ... . .a a . and business to Richmond, and at the same time keep that which' Is already here. Public corporations desiring franchises, contracts or amendments from the city must in his opinion. meet the reasonable demaads of the citizens. He believes that taxes RhonlH ba kent at the lowest oosslble notch. That the city Electric Light Plant should be retained and conducted along strictly business lines. He fur ther believes that the rlgbta and duties I of members of council should be re spected and that no menace should be held over them by the mayor to pre vent them from exercising the fullest freedom of judgment . Of Edward Harris it can be said no mistake will be made In nominating him as the republican candidate for mayor. Everybody can conscieaciously and cheerfully support him. No one will vote for him with fear, shame or misgiving. '. He will be elected. A CITIZEN. You. who are citizens of the U. 8. and whose fathers, and grandfathers have fought for its independence and the right of every man to vote as his conscience is inclined, would you stoop to such a political game as to vote for a man you are conscienclously opposed to. in order to defeat another who is a very little worse, when you are not even sure of his defeat Harris is bound to have a great many loyal sup porters and would your vote for Gor don Insure Zimmerman's defeat ' This is only the nomination, and as a Chris tian and a citizen of the U. 8., would you not rather have a clean conscience snd Zimmerman be nominated, than have him nominated without one, and 1 our cncf Just "J I Dener, uj vuuui wt nauu w uc I -.
