control of anything else."

NAMES FOR LETTERS. When Richmond was. laid out on the Philadelphia plan years ago, the mat. ter of fact persons who had it in hand selected the plan ' because of its convenience and obvious advantages. It is true, in so doing, that they neglected certain things, which might have made a better looking town. The fact is that we have no central point in our municipal landscape which would serve to build around. But these considerations are passed and we have the plan and lettered streets. On the other hand, there is one thing which might be changed which would save the' town from a little commonplaceness. That is in the matter of naming streets. An editorial writer in the Indianapolis Star, in commenting on the city of Washing
ton, which is having trouble with its
alphabetical' system, suggests that the
alphabetical ' order bo kept, in giving the street names. The following
names are suggested in Indianapolis Athon, Baker, Clark, Dumont, Eng
lish, Fletcher, Gibson, Harrison, Jen
nings, Ketcham, Lane, Morton, Adams,
Buchanan, Cleveland, Douglas, Ever
ett, Franklin, Grant, Harrison, Jeffer
son, Kent, Lincoln, Marshall, Nicolay,
Olney, Polk, Quincy.
Some people may not see the need' In changing, but there is certainly, a
chance to do the early settlers and prominent men of this state an honor in renaming the streets. That is the
least expensive and the most effective
way of perpetuating names. It would
also be more pleasant to the ear, and
give more character to the town, while retaining all the present advantages of
the alphabetical system.

" Both rural carriers at this place have been using auto's for the delivery and collection of mail of mail for the last two years. One of the carriers has his second machine. Fountain City is always up to date." Congratulations. - Get-ep Richmond ;
BY WAY OF WELCOME. It is not often that Richmond has the honor to be the meeting place of so representative a gathering from all over the country as the Lutheran Synod. It is true that Richmond is called the Quaker city e the West. But it must always be ' remembered that there were quite as many of the early settlers who were German Lutherans as there were Quakers. It has largely been due to the thrift and enterprise " and good citizenship of the German settler and their descendants that the city of Richmond has attained Its present growth and reputation for material prosperity. V Nor has the gain of the town been alone in a material way. " The cltisens who are of the Lutheran faith have always been recognized as steadfast in their ' adherence to good " citizenship. They neve taken pride and Interest in their town. No one can deny that they have made their place in . the community
BEVERIDGE ON THE SENATE.
In a current weekly, Senator Beveridge discusses the condition of affairs
in the senate. He points out to the people of the United States the reason of the great power of the little group
of New England senators who are in
control of the tariff situation. He shows that the power of a sena
tor in relation to the actual working of the senate, which is done by committees, is the length of continuous tenure of office. Some of these New England senators have been in the
senate from twenty-five to thirty
years. inererore Dy automatic pro
motion they are now at the top. That is to say, that they have reached the pinnacle of power near' the caucus
chairmanship. That is the secret of the great power of Aldrich, now the
caucus chairman. ?
Naturally,- being in the position of
caucus chairman, he can and docs ap
point those men. who are in sympathy
with the legislation that he desires effected. And therefore the laws are drafted , to meet the exact shade of meaning that he desires. That is the
way the laws are made.
But Beveridge also points to the fact that in many cases those men who go
to congress- forget the fact that their
constituents (in the West and Middle
West) desire them to be progressive.
They are seeking after power in com
mittees and they change their allegiance from the people of one section to
the other. This accounts for the removal and just removal of many congressmen by their constituents. Oth
erwise, even if his "machine" is per
feet, he will be retired as soon as the people find out that he has changed.
They will break and bolt from the
beat organization.
When a, man sticks to his guns in
congress and remains loyal to the people he should not be retired because he has not compromised to gain great
power in committees. In conclusion, Beveridge says:
"The truth about this whole subject
is that when the states and sections of,
the nation that are now railing at New
England's dominance in the senate, se
lect men who faithfully" reflect' the opinions of the people and who keep on reflecting their, opinions after they get to the senate when . such k states continue their men in tho house or senate as steadily as New England, those states will become equally powerful with New England. And that is the only "way; by which the distribution of power among the various states can be restored and maintained. Of course, there is an occasional exception at long intervals of time. Now and then a man of dominant personality, of vast ability, of tireless industry, of perfect fearlessness and rectitude develops; and for such a. man there is in the senate , as there is anywhere in any country at an time, always an immediate and conspicuous' recognition! But these rare exceptions prove the rule. We can not have a .... steady stream of geniuses, and perhaps we ordinary human :, beings . do not want them; perhaps legislation by a congress of geniuses would be a little stronger meat than we could manage

high speed and commodious clouaskirter. .; .. These men in their genius and mod
esty have done us proud. ' It ap
proaches the time when we should he willing to commit ourselves to official
recognition. Even now we shall be

Items Gathered in From Far and Near
The South and the -Tariff.
From the New York Tribune. -
These are sad days for the old-fash
ioned , southern editors , who have preached for a generation the iniquities of the protective system. They have maintained with fervor that
protection is robbery" and that the
south has been the chief victim of tariffs framed to stimulate the manufacturing industries of the north, while cutting off the south from the benefits ot a free exchange of cotton and other agricultural products for cheaper European merchandise. The
southern economists used to describe
the martyrdom forced on their section
by the protective system with as much anguish of soul of Mr. Bryan
displayed later in picturing the crown of thorns thrust on the head of the
producing classes the country over by
the upholders of the single gold stand
ard. How many millions of periods
dripping with rhetorical unction have
been launched by southern editors
and statesmen exploiting the oppres
sions of tariff taxes laid to impover
ish the people of the south for the
benefit of the favored northern industries! Nowadays that sort of argument seems to be as dead! in the
south as clamor about the "crime of
73" or philosophical justifications of
the right of secession.
Celebrating the Fourth.
From the Tacoma Ledger.
wasnington city set a good exam, pie to the nation last year by making the Fourth of July a patriotic celebration and not just a day of noise and
nonsense. The people of the city approved of the change and this year the
celebration will be along similar lines. Representatives of the Chamber of
Commerce and commercial club of Washington city have taken the lead in the matter and a popular fund of
2,o00 is being raised. A "safe and
sane Fourth," such as will be observed in Washington city does not mean a Fourth without fireworks. Fireworks will be enjoyed in abund
ance, but under regulations for safety.
The plan is to gather together the money that would be expended throughout the city for fireworks and expend it in a united celebration. In this way much finer effects are feasible and the loss of fingers, eyes and
even lives is minimized. The fire
works will be at night, the patriotic
exercises in the daytime.
, v The Regular Army. From the Philadelphia Ledger.
Even the little war with Spain was enough to , show that a great nation
wnicn is liable to foreign entanglements must have some fighting force ready that can be relied upon for in
stant action. This is the obvious lea
son of history which the President rec
ognized in his tribute to the army at
Gettysburg. He is not advocating a
great armament. He is pleading only
for a just recognition of the army as
a national safeguard. With our vast
coast line and our scattered foreign
dependencies it is absurd to hold it
aown to the numerical standards of
the last century; but even irrespect
ive of numbers, as a source of securi
ty an abstract embodiment of national authority and pure patriotism, it
should have generous support and a
nigh place in the appreciation and
confidence of the whole, country.
Consumer Escapes. From the Chicago Record-Herald.
There is hope in the old land yet.
Nobody in Washington has gone so
far as to frame a bill making it criminal offense to be a consumer.
TWINKLES
At a Cseual Glance. "Don't you think my poetry resem
bles Tennyson's?" said the confident young writer.
It does," answered Miss Cayenne,
"in the capitalization and the arrangement of lines into varying lengths."
Otherwise Occupied. "Why don't you devote some atten
tion to the preservation ot our mag
nificent American forests?
'It's worth thinking about." ans
wered Mr. Cumrox. "Some of us men of wealth haven't given the subject
due thought owing to our Interest in
furnishing financial props for Europe's
genealogical trees."
CfeahgM In Wkxt 7t T7eax And J T7hatT7eEat .
The steamship replaced the sailing vessel, the electric light succeeded the oil lamps, and we have no need, nor dasirs to "trade back." Our health Is just as good and we can crowd that much mora work and play Into the day of twenty-four hours. Foods have changed, too. Corn bread and wheat flour share honors with dainty yet substantial "prepared fooda. People now realise the necessity of stomach car. Thy eat mora fruit and green stuffs ajid cereals and the health ta better for It. The old fashioned breakfast of "beefsteak, potatoes and bread" or "bacon and eggs and muffins are replaced by E-C Corn Flakea or Egg-O-Sea Wheat Flakes and fruit, and our health ia better for It All the nourishment of the grain is retained in the crisp flakes, and It's no task for the stomach. Children grow fat on it. Invalids gala strength on it and man can do a better day'a work on It than to load his stomach with meats and heavy fooda. Remember alwaya it's the "Esg-O-See" brands that are "made right." Watch
for the E-C Mark on the package.
Maud and the Garden.
"Oh come into the garden, Maud!"
She did so. With a shrug She cried in anguished tones, "Oh Lawd! There's a potato bug!"
A Confiding Nature's Disappointment.
"Old friends are best," said the
warm-hearted person.
"Humph!" replied Mr. Sirius Bark
er, who was walking a little lame, i
suppose you're one of these people who would trust a last year's ham
mock rope."
Approbation. "What do you think of my gradu
ation essay?" asked Miss Clarissa Corntossel.
"Well," answered her father, T
must say you're ahead of your brother Josh. It's easier to understand than a college yell."
The sun, like some resplendent sy- - barite. Rises 'mid perfumes from the orient sea.
And creatures blest with song pause
in their flight
And pay sweet homage, grateful but
to Be. The butterflies float forth on golden rays. Like blossoms that have shaken loose the bond -
That . held them earthward. Each,
swift-winged, strays.
Following its hopes, into the bright
beyond. The berries blush beneath the sheltering leaves.
Stripped of their petaled raiment
all too soon; And when the moon rides forth
. night bird grieves. The solitary malcontent of June,
And murmuring winds that blend in
cadence rare,
When gathering shadows through
the woodland creep, .
A tropic languor with ithe northern
air,
Make conscious joy of deep and
dreamless sleep.

Polar Nights Delight Eskimos. The polar Eskimo, the most northerly dwelling people in the world, are said to exist only by the exercise of great ingenuity and the practice of social virtue. Tbe cbeerinesa. kindliness and practical socialism of tbe Eskimo from eastern Greenland to Alaska may be regarded as much due to their environment ss is tbe necessity of eating large quantities of fat. The Eskimo hail the first dark evenings with the same glee as the first daylight after the polar night, When a whole summer through tbe eyes have been bathed in light, day and night, they long to see the land vanish into darkness sgain. And with tbe idea of a change they associate all tbe good things the winter will bring tbe frozen sea and the hunting on the ice. the swift sledge drives, far from tbe sweltering houses, after bears.

Heroic Mustache. Probably no dog bas ever rendered
such signal military service or been so
honorably recognized as tbe celebrated
poodle Mustache, who shared the vic
torious fortunes of the French army through most of the wars of the con

LITERARY WORLD
RETURN OF THE SKY PILOTS. , To a land that gave then scant honor and no contracts, the Wright Brothers return laden with trophy. As inventors of the firet successful heavier-than-air machine, Wilbur and Orville Wright have had a triumphal tour on the continent More like royalty than anything else it was. In money they have made a fortune that would go far in Dayton, Ohio. As celebrities the crowd will gather ' and surge about them inside of ten minutes in any civilized country. . They have won medals of honor and prizes for competitive success. ' And there are persistent rumors of contracts with the governments of France, Italy, Germany, England and Russia. Sixty aeroplanes of their design are now building. . The Wrights arrived at the port of New York on May 11.' The dinner in their honor of the Aero club on May 12 was notable in the absence of the men who should have been there. The brothers Wright made their customsry two-minute speeches, tactful, modest, and non-informing. On the following day they went to their home in Dayton. ' President Taft presents to them gold medals awarded by the Aero club on June lO at the White House. At that time they will fly on the Fort Myer grounds. In the early fall they return to the hospitalities of Europe. In answering a ; reporter's question about the future of the aeroplane, Orville Wright said: "I do not believe that the aeroplane will ever be a regular passenger carrier. Neither will it carry freight. ' Its province will be more in the nature of a special conveyance for quick transit, more like an automobile, only its operator will not have to confine himself to defined routes of travel." ' The time is coming when the new
No emphatically no! The statement is untrue, and the reasons given prove tbe opposite that is to say We Americans are the happiest people on earth because we are the most prosperous, the , freest and tbe best educated. Or, to put it differentlyMost of the unhappiness suffered by the American people is because of lack of prosperity, lack of freedom, lack of education. Truly we are prosperous, . To put it In a sentence ;.:,;; - ' -..: We have but 7 per cent of the territory of the esrth and but S per cent of. its population, but we have twice as much life Insurance as all the rest of the world's people and half as much money in our savings banks as all the other people on earth put together. And we are well educated. We have enrolled in our- public schools 17.000,000 students, and there are 3,000,000 in the colleges and private schools, which brings tbe total up to 20,000.000 young people. We spend on this .education $200,000,000 -yearly-more than the entire sum spent by five leading European nations. Including England. We are a free people. ' Making due allowance for Inequalities and for abuses under our system we enjoy tbe largest measure of Individual liberty ever known by any people in the history of tbe race..' And Because of our prosperity, freedom and education we. also, enjoy in the highest degree all Intellectual and spiritual, pleasures, and we are tbe most progressive as we are the most humane of aU people, so that whether upon the physical. Intellectual or moral plane The conditions of living In America make for happiness more so than anywhere else.':.. We are free to work and free to love. Anal those two conditions tbe freedom to work at congenial tasks for a fair compensation and the liberty to love ' and marry whomsoever we choose regardless of social or financial obligations these are ideal conditions.
