Far from denying such a trite remark, it will be accepted without further ado. The man who said that the control of the streets is the real city government was not so far wrong after all. So the other night when the directors of the Young Men's Business Club talked over things with Mayor Zimmerman they were getting pretty close to some live things. The two main subjects were hitch racks and vehicle taxes. It appears that when all the obligations of the last administration are met there will be only a few hundred dollars available for this year's upkeep of the streets. The tax rate is pretty high in Richmond now, so that any form of addition to the general schedules would be grievously resented. A vehicle tax has been suggested for the use of the street department. This follows the principle aloptetd in many places that the burden of taking care of the streets shoud fall on those who use them the most. There appears to be two classes of vehicles which are hardest on streets and roads. These are the very heavy teams and the motor care. The motor car' is a prolific manufacturer of dust, which means the wearing down of streets in small particles the heavy wagon's work is too obvious for discussion. In many cities vehicle taxes at nominal suras furnish quite enough not only to keep up the street but to add to the actual building and rebuilding of thoroughfares. Tho hitch-rack question is an important one from the point of view of the merchant and the farmer. The merchant naturally is interested in the farmer because he is a prospective customer. Richmond has not as good facilities for hitching as other towns. We often force the farmer to go to the livery stablos when he only needs to hitch his horse for a few hours. The hitch-racks which we have now represent those put up for the most part by the merchants themselves. One merchant went to his neighbors and took up a collection for that purpose, so that the trade would come his way. This is cited as an illustration of how hard it may be to solve this question without doing some set of merchants an apparent injustice. The fact is however that the present location of the hitch-racks would seem to be dangerous in the light or the many accidents which happened at crowded corners. The racks have the added point in their disfavor of being unsani tary. The suggestion that this be regu lated by ordinance seems a good one. And the further plan of utilizing the space around the court house with cor responding accommodations in the eastern part of town ought to stand unless a better plan for the whole problem can be brought forward. i urns Gathered m From Far and Near He Will Wake Up. (Chicago Inter Ocean) We note that young Mr. Roosevelt answers for his fiancee, Miss Alexan der, all sorts of questions put by the Interviewers, on the ground that he knows what she thinks about every thing.

A MAN ON TRIAL. A man is on trial down in Washington. You, who have been following the published report from day to day have noticed that Glavis is telling a pretty straight story and that he has not been shaken on cross-examination. When Mr. Balllnger was white-washed it was said that those who did the white-washing were In a very much better position to judge of tho case than was Mr. Glavis because he was not In a position to be aware of all the facts. Yet the meager knowledge of young Glavis is making rather a stir. There is a man in the Senate named Guggenheim who might be able to tell just as much as Glavis. He is in a position to know. Guggenheim has made visits to the administration's political bureauGuggenheim (a member of the Cunningham group) is a man who has made his money out of exploiting the people's land. Guggenheim bought his seat in the Senate. Therefore when Mr. Guggenheim made his two visits, he went to be assured that Mr. Garfield would not be appointed as secretary of the Interior. He insisted that Ballinger, who has been the attorney for the corporations now after the Alaska coal lands was Just the man to fill that office. Garfield was too 'impractical'. So Balllnger, the former attorney of the Cunningham group, is secretary. And when the deal was ready to pull off Glavis, a mere boy, the special agent of the government, appealed in vain to Ballinger, then to the attorney general, and then to Mr. Taft. The President had explicit confidence in Ballinger or did not believe the condition as bad as painted. Then Glavis told the people told you. He called the attention of the people to what was about to happen to their holdings. Such an impropriety could not be brooked. Glavis was dismissed. That Glavis was dismissed by the President is only a paragraph in the book of misinformation which has been opened for the President to read. Who supplied the information it is not hard to guess. There have been things happening behind the veil which do not appear in the news dispatches or have not as yet. It will some day be told how it was that Mr. Garfield was not selected. The real whys and the wherefores as to why the machine in control in the west as strong as that force which guides the destinies of the state of Pennsylvania would not hear to the reappointment of Garfield though it was Roosevelt's greatest wish. There will appear the tale of Dennett, the friend of the Guggenheim interests. Of how Guggenheim went to the political agents of the administration and befriended Dennett to keep him in place. Guggenheim, the powerful Senator and the same Guggenheim of the Cunningham group. The story will be told of what McCabe undid just after Pinchotwas asked for his resignation. And it may sometime appear whether Pinchot did really disobey the mandate of his superior, the Secretary of Agriculture. It may appear for what reason these things were done and by whom. It is not to be assumed that the President is mixed up in these things as the willing or conscious agent. There are unscrupulous men around him, and there is much at stake.

Listen to what they say in Washington. They say that Ballinger will not be found guilty of a single illegal thing. They say that he will again be whitewashed We do not know. But from the evidence which has been coming out and which will continue to come out, we do believe that even if the committee were to completely exonerate Ballinger, the printed testimony in the newspapers which appears front day to day, will have vindicated Glavis in the minds of the people for telling them that their lands are in danger. Guggenheim, the rich and powerful may go to Hitchcock, the dispenser of political appointments, Pinchot may indeed be removed by wile as Garfield was by political bargain but the people will know. And if the people having learned how things are turned against them, do not see to it that the men who belong to the system are not returned to the house and the senate they will be blind and foolish and not deserving of faithful service. In this connection it is well to remark that the Insurgents have secured for the people by their revolt against the appointment by the sneaker of the committee a free and full hearing of witnesses. That this hearing is open is due to the Insurgents and though the caucus of Mr. Cannon did name a majority of the men on the body which is conducting the investigation there will be enough evidence brought out lo let the people know. That i3 the work of the Insurgents.

That is the story of the man on trial in Washington for telling the people telling you that your lands are in danger of being stolen in Alaska. The five hundred entries of the Cunningham claims contain coal to the value of at least $160,000,000. That is why a man is on trial.

Wade Ellis doesn't seem to be feazed by the size and extent of the job of rehabilitating Republicanism in Ohio, for which he has been "subpoenaed." Know When to Duck. (Chicago Record-Herald) Immediately following the announce ment that Roosevelt would return home in June, Congress began preparing to get ready to adjourn in May. Sometimes even Congress knows when to quit. Does That Include the Whole Party? (St. Louis Post-Dispatch) Among the sure signs of coming Democratic victory is the fact that no less than four men besides Bryan have been named as candidates of the party for the Presidency. Only Lucky Place Left. (Baltimore American) If the Roosevelt reaches the south pole there will not remain a single corner of the earth where the name has not penetrated. Wouldn't It Be Awful?

GREAT LOVE STORIES of HISTORY By Albert Pay son Terhunm

JOHN SMITH AND POCAHONTAS This Is the first American love story. CapL John Smith was a soldier of fortune. He was also a bully, a braggart and a most amazing liar. But in spite of all this he was a great man and our country owes him a debt that should never be forgotten. Smith had knocked about the world ever since, as a boy, he ran away from his English home. He had been a soldier, a sailor, a captive slave in the orient and had followed many trades. It is hard to gain a true idea of his career, since for a great deal of it we have only his own word to go on. And he had scant regard for truth. A band of English colonists landed In Virginia in 1607. They were a motley rabble, who had gone there expecting to find gold. It was a sort of "get-rich-quick" scheme. When they could not pick up gold for the asking in the new world they were disgusted and cared little about settling down as farmers. They would have starved or gone back to England but for Smith. He was one of their leaders and set them to plowing, house-building, clearing forests and doing other needful work. They hated him, but could not get on without his help. So they sulkily obeyed him. Having got ten the colonists started on their labors. Smith set A Perilous Situation. out to explore the neighboring country. During this trip he was captured by Chickahominy Indians, passed from tribe to tribe as a curiosity, and at length was brought before Chief Powhatan. The old chief pretended to treat him as an honored guest. Suddenly, however, a number of Indians hurled themselves upon Smith, overpowered and bound him, throwing him to the ground and placing a great stone beneath his head. Then two executioners, armed with big clubs, ad vanced to dash out his brains. America's future fate hung in the balance. Without Sir .h the Virginia colony could not live. The colonists' failure would discourage other Englishmen from crossing the seas. France and Spain, which had already formed settlements in America, would probably have overrun the Atlantic seaboard with a series of colonies, crowding out forever the Anglo-Saxon race. The situation and the country's future were saved by a girl. From earliest ages it has been the custom among many savage tribes all over the world to permit any woman of the tribe to save a prisoner's life by offering to marry him. When a woman interfered to rescue a doomed prisoner it was on the understanding that she consented to be his wife. That this old custom was in vogue in Powhatan's tribe is not improbable, for the chief's daughter, Pocahontas, sprang forward before the executioners' clubs could descend and flung herself upon Smith's breast, praying her father to spare the condemned Englishman. Her plea was granted. Smith was spared. Had the rescue been merely an act of girlish pity the affair would probably have ended then and there. But it did not. Smith went back to his colonists at James- ! town. Pocahontas followed him. She ; risked her life to visit him there on every possible occasion. He told her the colonists were starving. She and her servants brought them food that , tided them over a "famine season." j But for her this first English colony j In America must have perished for lack of provisions. But for her love ; for Smith she would never have trou-: bled to feed the settlers or to persuade her father to leave them in peace. This is proved by the fact that 1 after Smith went back to England Po- j cahontas lost all interest in the col- j ony and neither returned to visit it nor sent it aid. Whether or not Smith reciprocated the savage maiden's love, he undoubtedly made great use of It in behalf of his suffering fellow-Eng- ; lishmen. Whether or not Pocahontas actually regarded herself as Smith's wife, she loved him devotedly to the end of her days. Smith fell ill and left Virginia. Word came that he was dead. Pocahontas was heartbroken. When the English captured her by treachery and urged . . her to strengthen n .T the alliance beDead- tween England and the savages by marrying a colonist named Rolfe she consented. Rolfe took her to London. There at court she came face to face with Smith. At first she thought she had seen a ghost The unhappy girl fell to the floor in a dead faint. Recovering, she threw her arms about Smith's neck, covered his bearded face with kisses and called him countless endearing names. So overcome with joy was she at seeing once more the man she had loved and lost that she forgot all the stiff court etiquette Into which she had been so carefully drilled, and had no eyes for Rolfe, nor for the king of England himself, so long as Smith was pres. ent, A quick reaction followed upon her joy. Though Smith was alive, she realized that she was bound for life to another man. Rolfe, perhaps with the idea of removing her from so dangerous a rival, prepared to take Pocahontas hack at once to Virginia. But she pined away and died before reaching her native land. Hospitality.

from Royal Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye IN THE FOG. A heavy fog settles down over the earth and shuts our your vision. The only clear space is the immediate circle about you. As you walk through the haze the clear spot follows and remains about you. Everybody except yourself is shut out by the fog. Your neighbor has a like experience. As he views tbe situation, you are enveloped in the fog and be is tbe center of tbe only bright spot. Is it not so? And thereby bangs a moral. It is characteristic of average humanity to self center itself. Each man thinks he can see clearly enough, but that those about him are badly befogged. Eacb man fancies be is wise concerning tbe things he presumes to know, and each fancies bis neighbor is unwise because he "cannot see things." Eacb believes the other wrong, when, as a matter of fact, both may be in tbe fog. For instance You may think your political party Is tbe one that must save the country, while your neighbor may regard you as a blind partisan and think bis party is the commissioned instrument of national salvation. See? STou 6ay your church is tbe only church that has tbe real right of way up to the pearly gates. Tbe other man says you are wrong and bis route is tbe straight and narrow way. You think he is in a haze. He knows you are. And there we are. Tbe whole trouble lies in tbe fact that we Jack the full sweep of tbe wider horizon. We are all of us more or less befogged. Only a few great souls struggle out of the lower earrb mists to tbe heights that are lit up by the clear sunshine. Because of our limited view we are apt to become narrow, provincial, prejudiced and maybe conceited. Let us be very sure tbe fog has cleared away before we presume too much. Witb becoming humility let us be slow to criticise our fellow travel era. Because Some of us will never get tbe wider scope of vision until tbe earth fogs shall have been eternally dispelled. Your angle of vision and mine are one sided. Oar little arc is a small part of tbe great circle. Our luminous little spot is but a sreck in the earth fog. All INVADING FORCE Spokane, Wash., Feb. 16. Three hundred members of the order in Wash ington, Idaho, Oregon and Montana and the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta will invade New Orleans early in April to capture the next session of the Imperial Council of the Shrine for Spokane In 1911. The cham ber of commerce which has received assurance of the support of the entire northwest from the Rocky mountains to the Pacific coast, will be officially represented by W. S. McCrea, H. G. West and Dr. H. V. Allen, who will take with them a car of 50,X big red apples, the pick of a score or more orchards in various parts of the country and a number of novelties designed to attract attention to the remarkable growth and progress of the Pacific northwest in the last few years, showing also what has been accomplished in the cities and towns since 190O. C. M. Fasaett, president of the organization, announced that every effort will be made to land the 1911 meeting in Spokane. A Contradiction. When Is an invalid a contradiction?

TO SELL MacKay Companies Intend to Dispose of All Bell Telephone Stock. A STATEMENT IS ISSUED New York, Feb. 16. The annual report of the MacKay companies was issued yesterday afternoon. A striking feature or the report Is the following extract announcing, the Intended sale of all Bell Telephone Stock now held by the MacKay companies. "The MacKay companies will sell Ha entire holding of stock in the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, that step being in deference to public opinion, which view with suspicion this large hold of stock in the company which has recently purchased the control of the Western Union Telegraph company. Moreover, that stock was acquired by the MacKay companies with a view to bringing about economies in the construction and maintenance ot joint pole lines over long stretches of country, where the business was not sufficient to justify either company constructing an independent pole line by itself. Many such arrangements were made, each company owning one balf of the pole line, but having nothing to do with the business of the other company. Since, however the American Telephone and Telegraph Co. has acquired control of the W. U. Telegraph Co., the time has come for the MacKay companies to sell its holdings of stock in the American Telephone and Telegraph company and that will be done. The Postal Telegraph system will continue to be free and Independent, prepared to maintain -tbe competition which it has furnished for twentyfive years." cine, with the knowledge that there is no other remedy, at any price, mad? anywhere else in the world, which will effect so thorough and prompt a cure as a fifty-cent treatment of Pape's Diuretic, which any druggist can supply.
