The vigilance of sailors, the multi plication of lighthouses and lightships and the Invention or devices or warning have still not robbed the seas of their might If romance demands risk of life and limb, the drama of panic or of bravery, the struggle of man against the elements, then there is plenty of romance left The wreck of the Minnehaha directs attention again to this failure of the maritime nations and the follower of the seas to strip the waves of their perils. : In the days of the clipper ships the sailor folk poke of headlands and of certain groups of Islands as ocean graveyards. These ropks and reefs still claim their booty. "By the blessings of God." said the devout Newfoundlander, "we have been sent s run of fish and a few good wracks." Cape Race, upon the Newfoundland coast, takes a heavy toll In property and human lives every winter. Cape Cod, patrolled by scores of life savers sad lighted Its whole length. Is mentioned In wreck reports with unbroken regularity. The traveler upon a vessel passing Sandy Hook notes the signs of a wreck, and these' signs continue, though salvers tens maintains Its ancient notoriety. The Llsard, upon the English coast, is strewn around with hulks of great steamers, and the Scilly Islands where the' Minnehaha went ashore, are among the terrors of the deep, though their shores bristle with lighthouses. Those who Uke the spice of danger with their journeying about the earth have still no reason to complain. Beveridge le the First. Collier's Weekly. A wise and experienced political observer in Indiana sent the following letter to the New York Evening Post "Senator Beverldge'a speech here last Tuesday was a memorable and dramatic occasion. The great hall was packed wherever there was a place to stand some one stood. He made a most striking appearance as he went on, step by step, with great deliberation, and drore his arguments home, Although the crowd waa full of poll tlcians, mere politics were soon forgotten, and for the time being the whole audience was lifted to a higher plane ; It was a very noble speech." What Senator Beveridce's sneech contained to make it noble was hon est Indignation at the breaking of par ty promises. It was Beveridge who, in the Senate last spring, collected from Taft's campaign speeches all the specific promises of revision downward and marshaled them to prove the Re publican party's obligation to main tain the people's faith In their Presi dent's word by revising the tariff downward. Beveridge Is the first, among the seven Insurgent senators who voted against the tarirr bill, to meet the fight for hia political life. He has the ; support of the majority of the Renub Mean party in his state; but Indiana Is close, and that majority may not be . able to elect him If the reactionary minority, us neau or the machine from whom Beveridge has wrested control, give secret aid to the Demo aftSBtBa '' rAmmaMttM .w 4k l.n . , 4 shove, the New York Evening Post says: .The Evening Post wishes him all possible power in his "insurgency," for It is as certain that the insurgents ought to and will dominate the Renublican party as It is sure that Governor Hughes's political principles and meth ods will soon control In his party in mi sute. -r-.v Hughes in New York. Beveridge in Indiana, every man, everywhere, who Is stirred to resist the domination of politics by organised wealth, have a common cause, and Beveridge needs . tha help of all of them.

CLEANING WEEK. The proclamation of Mayor Zimmerman, setting aside the first week In May as Cleaning Week and urging upon all the people of Richmond the obligation of keeping the town in spick and span condition, has a great deal more behind it than the casual reader will be likely to admit. The people of Richmond are realizing as never before the intangible benefit from small things which He apparently on the surface. We have learned that the smallest part of the good derived from the Fall Festival was the Immediate financial return. The good effects have been slowly manifesting themselves. Now we all know that the only per manent effects are more Intangible for the permanent effects are effects on character. It Is the spirit and character of the town that is going to count most in the long run. And what is the character of the sloven? . What good comes out of him? r
The town of Richmond has maintained a reputation for cleanliness and well ordered appearance. This has attracted to the town many people who would have gone elsewhere. The main business of life is living and Richmond Is a good place to live.
Perhaps you will have the whole idea by this time. It Isn't that Richmond is remiss in the cleaning of the streets, it is not that the yards of the majority of people are not well cared for the thing is. to keep them so. May 2nd to May 7th is a mighty good time to pitch in and clear out the dead twigs, vines and to stir the soil to clean this is the real natural beginning of the year and the gain is worth while to sou yourself.
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM. The day has gone past when it is thought necessary to condemn anything and everything which bears the brand of the opposition. The condemnation of political exigency is in this day and generation about as barren of results as the frost bitten paw-paw. The democratic platform Is, for the most part, succinct and clear.. No." republican need find fault with the platform for its indorsement of the Roosevelt policies; conservation, income' tax, anti-Injunction and employers' liability acts, waterway Improvements, child labor laws, increased pensions for civil war veterans. The platform touches on the problem of liquor legislation which practically reiterates the stand of the democratic party toward local self government, declaring for city and township option. There will be criticism , from rabid partisans both political and those with decided views on temperance legislation of both parties. The "Republicans felt that the matter is settled and that the legislation already on the statutes ought to be given a fair trial. It need hardly be pointed out that any attempt to change the existing law by the active and apparent work of saloon Interests will react against the interests. There are many men In Indiana who are of many minds on liquor selling, but they for the most part agree on the evils , of the saloon in politics. This is only fair and is in its essence the principle of law enforcement which is more valuable than any other to all the citizens including those who sell liquor. i Political exigency did creep in to mar the democratic resolutions in the attempt to incriminate Senator Beveridge as an accomplice of Aldrich and Cannon. This will scarcely carry conviction. The state platform of the Republicans was sincere in this regard and has no inconsistencies. As this year Is to determine whether Senator Beveridge 1b to be returned and the fight la being made upon him by the interests for his attack on them, it Is a fair question if the people will be confused on the issue as to whether Beveridge has not done more to help what the democrats -condemn than the seventeen senators who helped Aldrich. It is also a fair question If In that the Republicans are not more sincere than the Democrats' who , voted on the protective and sometimes prohibitive schedules In the Payne Aldrich law In direct violation of the national democratic platform from which the new state platform draws its inspiration.

Huntington, Ind., a Sanitary City
MRS. F. W. In Huntington, Ind., a comprehens-i ive campaign was begun recently to make that a "Sanitary City." This was adopted as a motto by the city board of health. The chief of police and his deputy, working under the superlntendency of the secretary of the city board of health, made an inspection of alleys, lots bordering on alleys and of lots on which are located billboards, behind which "may collect rubbish or other unhealthful material. Owners of such lots were called upon by the authorities and notified to be gin a thorough spring house-cleaning. The campaign was one of co-operation. Inspectors made regular reports. All tin cans or other unsightly rubbish had to be removed. All bakeries and restaurants were visited by the health officers and owners of all premises, which are not found sanitary were instructed in sanitary conditions. The secretary of the city board of health thanked the Woman's Civie Improvement League for their suggestions in regard to bettering conditions 4 and they were requested to continue investigating the same and to , co-operate with the department as heartily as heretofore. We have yet to realize as a nation what an influence lovely or unlovely surroundings have upon our lives and products. Times are changing and a new altruistic spirit is in the air. Men are beginning to think of the "other fel low." Fortunately beauty cannot be selfishly kept for the exclusive use of the owner. Every passer-by can take tho full measure of his capacity AFTER ONElEAfi Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham'sVegetableCompoucd Milwaukee, Wis. "Lydia E.

The above is only one of the thousands of grateful letters which, are constantly being received by the Pinkham Medicine Company of Lynn, Ifasavwhich prove beyond a doubtthat Lydia . Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, made from roots and herbs, actually does cure these obstinate diseases of women after all other means have failed, and that every such suferinff woman owes it to herself to at least give Lydia E.

A KEEN FORESIGHT
Displayed by Dealer Who Held His Cotton 14 Years for an Increase. FINALLY GETS 16 CENTS Jackson, Ga.. April 20. "I will get sixteen cents for this bale of cotton or I will never sell it," was the declaration made by T. 1L Greer thirty-eight years ago. He kept his promise and got his price, but it took him thirty eight years to do itBack in 1872 December I. to be ex actT. H. Greer, a prosperous farmer of Butts county, ginned a bale of cot ton by water power, the gin being the Griswold. then In use, and the old hand lever press was used. The war had not been over long at the time and cotton was high higher ithan it has. been since then, with one exception. The market was sixteen cents that season, but as this bale was late in being turned out from the press the market had slumped, and after loading the bale on his wagon Mr. Greer took it to Griffin, only to be refused sixteen cents., Whereupon he would not sell for less than that figure. Accordingly he carried the bale of cotton back home, where it had remained until last month. Mr. Greer drove to town and an offer of sixteen cents a pound was made to him and he accepted It. The cotton was bought by Etheridge, Smith & Co., well known local buyers. They have placed the cotton In the front of their store, and it is being viewed by hundreds of persons. When first ginned the bale of cotton weighed 505 pounds. Only . one time since it was first packed has it been repacked, and that was in 1905,' when it was found to be perfectly sound. So far as known, this is the oldest bale of cotton on record. Local cotton buyers have had their eyes on this bale of cotton for a long time. During the Louisiana Exposition at SL Louis, Mr. Greer was offered a fancy price for his cotton, it being desired for exhibition purposes, but he would not part with it. During the Sully boom a few seasons ago cotton went above sixteen cents, the .first time since 1872. when the cotton was first ginned. , At that time he could have sold the bale for sixteen snd a half cents a pound, but he thought it would go to twenty cents a pound, and so missed his chance of selling, for the market soon went down. , Mr. Greer is now an old man. : He Is a familiar and .well known figure and belongs to the well known - family of Greers, who have lived in this county since .Robert Greer, wrote, his famous almanac, back In the first part of the last century." ; The coal and iron mines and the salt works owned and operated by the kingdom of Prussia employed last year 89,723 men and turned out pro ducts worth $58,171,960, or about 4 per cent greater than in 1908.
