SNOW SEASON VERY LATE
ERRATIC FLURRIES TODAY BE
ING THE SECOND RECORDED THIS WINTER NORTH POLE
"VEATHER IS COMING.
It has been trying to snow all through the day. but the efforts of the
weather man have not been very sue
cessful and the result has been erratic flurries of "the beautiful," not
even of sufficient amount to cover the
ground. The snow is unusually late
in arriving this year, today light
fall being the second to be recorded
here this season. Not since October
12 has even a flake been visable in
the air until early this morning.
While Richmond was exoeriencin
( such ideal Indian summer weather of the past few days, several trains
have arrived at the Pennsylvania de
pot from the north, the tops of the
cars being heavily laden with snow. Winter is Now Here.
But apparently the delightful, balmy
weather is now a thing of the past.
Winter has evidently set in, in earn
est, and the first cruel blasts have struck this city with grim force. The
official thermometer at the water
works pumping station east of the city, registered 31 degrees at 1 o'clock this afternoon. However the sharp, cutting wind from the north and west made it seem much colder and it would be hard to convince many that the mercury dropped only one degree below the freezing point. The rainfall yesterday was .55 of an inch, the rain falling in perfect torrents durins a portion of the rfternoon The ominous, dark cIoud3 In the west mean more snow, is the prediction of the amateur weather prophets and the official forecast is to the effect that a cold wave is due, accompanied by a heavy snow and severe wind storms.

(American News Service) Cincinnati, O., Nov. 17. Hundreds
of delegates from all over the United States, were in attendance today at the National Municipal League con
vention, and many plans for the bet
ter government of municipalities, were
considered. Robert Treat Paine, Jr., delivered an interesting address on "The Elimination of National Party
Designations from Municipal Ballots."
Acsaress by Paine. Mr. Paine spoke as follows: Boston's decision, November 2. to
have a non-p?rtisan city government, and to eliminate national politics from the nomination and election of her
city officials, brings to the front thi3
question of municipal non-partisan
ship as one that demands attention from every c'.ty suffering from mis-
government.
In England and on the continent.
where cities so successfully efficientlv
and honestly manage great undertakings, they do not suffer from the intrusion of national politics. No par
ty designation is rrinted on municlnal
ballots. Yet their governments are otherwise usually framed on the modl which, in America, brines misrule-
large chambers, elected by wards, and exercising thHr powers through committees. The lesson is evident- that
not change of municipal machinery, but unhampered local choice of disin
terested civic servants solves the municipal problem. Canada has no rar-
ty designations on municipal ballots,
nor does Australia permit them.
The intrusion of national nolitieal
organizations into city affairs has long
been recognized In America as an unmitigated source of evil. Delegates
from Municipal Voters' Leagues of the
country, meeting in Chicago, in 190t, resolved, unanimously, for the separation of national politics from municipal affairs. This princinle has been
advocated by the National Municipal League from its foundation. A Proposed Remedy. One proposed remedy, the mere separation in time of city elections from state or national elections, is as necessary, as to hive an honest ballot, but neither does It cuie the trouble. Only by going to the root of-the matter can we stamp out the evil itself. We must forbid the Intrusion of national partisanship. Such a policy has been tried and has proved successful In our own country. Grand Rapids. Mich., in 1903. ex
perimented with the non-partisan principle in the choice of certain minor officials. Fresno, Cal.. was the first to
use it in the selection of mayor and aldermen. The plan is best known in connection with the Des Moines "commission form" of government, of which it is an essential feature.
Results everywhere have been so
highly gratifying that its adoption is
increasing at a rapid rate, our states.
Iowa, South Dakota. Wisconsin and Kansas, by general law, permit cities to adopt it by popular vote. In ten other states cities are now operating under this non-partisan charter. In as many more states, cities are seeking charter amendments for similar permission. President Taft, in 1000. stated that he was in thorough sympathy with this principle of the separation of municipal affairs from national party politics. No half way measures should be advocated. Ward politicians will oppose the reform. Only through an Imperative demand can the people secure it. Everywhere, voters, who care for the true wtlfare of their city should insist on the unequivocal elimination from their city affairs of national partisanship.
WAS FOUND GUILTY. The jury in tho Hazlitt case this afternoon returned a verdict of guilty and the woman physician was fined $25 and costs for having practiced medicine without a license. No jail sentence was imposed.
The jury sitting in the case of the
state against Mrs. Lida Hazlitt. for
practicing medicine without a license
took the fate of the defendant into its
hands this noon, followine the read
ing of the instructions of Judge Fox.
Tae arguments in the case were he-
gun yesterday afternoon, Charles Ladd, prosecuting attorney, ouenine
ror tne state and being followed by his assistant R. K. Shiveley. John Rob-
bins, counsel for the defendant, fol
loweld and made the most masterful
plea for his client that has been made
in the local courts in many months
On the strength of his argument the
fate of the defendant hangs, it is be
lieved. It is thought that the state
made a very good case against the ac
cused, especially on strength of the
verdict of Coroner A. L. Bramkamp, on the death of Miss Lillian Mays at
Mrs. Hazlitt's sanitarium last May. Lays on the Hands.
In her testimony before the coroner, Mrs. Hazlitt said that she practiced
by the laying on of the hands upon
the nerve centers of the body, and by
magnetic treatment, which is regard ed as strong evidence against her
She did not refer in her testimony before the coroner to divine healing.
which on the stand she claimed that
she practiced.
Mr. Robbins Quoted Dassaees from
the Bible and characterized his client
as a martyr to Christanity.
In his instructions to the 1u-v.
Judge Fox reviewed much. of the testi
mony In a general way and exDlained
just what importance the jury should place in the testimony. He said that
it was up to the jurors to determine which witnesses to believe, where con
tradictory testimony had been given
on the same point. His instructions
were impartial in all respects. He referred to mind healing and to the laws which regulate the nracticintr of
medicine by unlicensed persons. He said that the law in regard to one
practicing medicine was sufficiently
comprehensive.
A
COUNCIL
MEETING
Council meets this evening and it is probable that the report of Dabney W. Maury, water works engineer expert will be made. The reDort is the
result of Mr. Maury's investigation conducted during the past two months. A few other items of small import
ance will also come to the attention
of the council.

When the rro Was Created. The Mexican Indians, as well as those of most of the Central American republics, bare a superstition to the effect that the negro was made before either the white man or the Indian or even before the sun was created. They account for Lis color by declaring that he was made and dried In the dark. Their own race, they say, was made In the morning of the first day between daylight and sunup. On this account they delight In a term which they apply to each other and which signifies "dawn people." The white man, "who fears darkness and cannot stand heat," was made, according to their belief, at noon on the first day of creation. Maae. d Reaiaaa. Mme. de Remusat had features so perfect that her contemporaries said she was worthy to sit as a model for a Greek goddess. The flesh of her face closely resembled alabaster, and yet she was not pale and did not give the Impression of being In delicate health. Her beauty attracted universal attention to her, no matter where she went, and even in old age she retained moat of her good looks.
Indications for a championship bas
ket ball team for the local high school this season a-e particularly hrlehr.
About 25 candidates responded for the
rirst practice yetterdav afternoon anri
both Coach Miller and Captain Spang-
ler reel much elated over the nro-
spective team's chances. The announcement has been made that Mar-
latt, the big center, will be in the
game again this season. It was
thought at first that he would be bar
red because ot the "fifth year rule," which only permits members to nlav
eight semesters. Allison, another
shining light, will hold down the posi
tion as guard until February, at least
and will be a tower of strength to
the team.
Try for Forwards. Metzger, O. Hiatt. P. Hiatt and Alli
son are out for guard, and a number
or others are also trying for that position. Captain Spangler. Ackerman.
Taggert and Meyers, all fast players.
belonging to last year's squad, are
trying for forward, while Marlatt and Hasemeier are fighting it out for center. The schedule is being prepared and will be announced probably the latter part of the week. The Lebanon high school desires a game with Richmond soon after Christmas. The local team will probably make a trip soon after the holidays, playing a number of fast high school teams in various cities over the state.
