THE SAME OLD STORY The Board of County Commissioners haTe given a, Talnable right for nothing under few restrictions for the protection of the citizens of this ' county. This was done hastily and without consultation with their attorney On May 4 the Board of County, Commissioners signed away as far as it was in their power the right to use the highways of this county with a few paltry and comparatively meaningless restrictions a few minutes after the petition, was heardfor both bear the same date. Mr. Ashe has secured what may be immensely valuable rights in the future and what are cer- , tainly rights of great value at the present time. Did the county' receive anything for the actual franchise right the document does not show it? ' Were there restrictions wide enough in their scope which showed any ten dency toward modern aspects of Justice in such transactions-revocable features, protection against an excessive rate, or even a time limit on the franchise? Whatever is there must be read in by Juggling of questionable decisions and not from any attempt on the part of the Commissioners to set a limit or give the county any recourse in the future wherewith to' protect itself, - There were no changes apparently in the program outlined by Mr. Ashe's attorney. ' ' i There was no opportunity that anyone knows of for the citizens of this county to protect themselves it was all rushed through without discussion of the public or any chance for citizens to appear and state their views. , The thing seems not to have been thought of any particular consequence. . . It is a matter of common knowledge to most of the people of this county that there is great and serious danger from such a proceeding in the fu- " ture. Richmond and every other municipality throughout the broad land has had some experience in these matters. The time has com when wc know or ought to know, the penalties that communities pay for such proceedings. : Do the County Commissioners believe that they are fulfilling their duty to the whole county when they enter into an agreement with few clauses for the county's protection? Do they believe that a franchise Is of ho value? If it is of value why not some provision so that the county derive benefit In money as the value of the actual franchise increases due to the growth of the country? t Why should a private citizen or the corporation represented by Mr. Ashe get the benefit of the franchise value which. belongs to every citizen? Why Is there no time limit placed on the franchise? Do the County Commissioners know whether it is for the lifetime of Mr. Ashe or for the lifetime of the corporation which he represents or , assigns it to? If so, what is the life of that corproation? Did, it occur to the County Commissioners that this grant might be used to decrease the tax rate, of this county? , Why was this allowed to go through so quickly and without legal advice? ' .... . These and other questions of like character are things that some of the - people of Wayne county may like to know... ' ' . Citizens of Richmond may like to know how it will affect the Muni-' clpal Light Plant. . Men in the county may like to know why there was no provision : against extortionate rates in the future. All of us would inquire why a good chance was neglected to help reduce the taxes In the future as the value of the franchise Increases.

Desire for Information. "Mrs. Gaddington wants to know all about everybody's business." . "Yes, replied Miss Cayenne. She regards matrimony as a failure because she didn't marry a census taker."

, It seems proper to suggest to the County Commissioners that they hunt up their attorney and find whether there is not 'some way out of this.

tunity, in our opinion, and we should like to see the whole nation take part in it. Storied urns and sacred edifices have been placed in all parts of our land, dedicated to memories good, bad and indifferent and to achievements noble, beneficent or. otherwise. We see heroes, some of them too cheap to quote, - careering - on stationary but foaming horses, and mark the attitudes of sculptured patriots and statesmen, most of whom are planted in our private pantheons and immortalized in grateful memory. But we encounter also the effigies of mud-stained publicists " and futile warriors and questionable - benefactors. Nothing more or less could be expected. We let it go at that. All of us. however, can unite upon the old black mammy, the millions who have enjoyed her kindly ministrations and the other and more numerous . millions who have onlv heard of them.

Another Unknown. From the Chicago Post, Who is lieutenant 'governor of New York? Who is to fill Hughes's chair at Albany from October 1 to January 11, 1911? Mr. Horace White of Syracuse Is the man, but how many of us know it? Even the New York newspapers, in telling of the governor's appointment to the supreme bench, hardly mention the name of the man who is to be his successor. There is almost unanimously a Jump from Hughes directly to Roosevelt, Loeb or Root, as if there were to be no interregnum at all. We hereby nominate all lieutenant governors to full citizenship in the Land of Political Forgetfulness heretofore populated exclusively by vice presidents of the United States. And the almost complete absence of publiQ comment upon Mr. James Schoolcraft Sherman's St Louis speech on ' the Payne bill does not tend to soften the cruelty of this proposal.

Baseball Slang. From the Augusta Herald. The consensus of opinion seems to be that a baseball story in unimpeachable English would be odd enough to be interesting, but that as a steady diet it would soon pall upon the "fans" who have become accustomed to that slang which is so distinctively a part of the atmosphere of the game. It conveys more to their minds to "say that the man at the. plate slapped the pellet for four bagst th.'iv gravely to announce tliat the batter knocked a ball which enabled him- to score a home run. The "bunt" and the "bush leaguer" have become intimately interwoven with the speech of today. The "nicknames" of the teams have practically superseded the names of the towns whose tags they bear, and lend lift and color to the descriptive story. This so-called slang, when it is spontaneous, makes for brevity. It presents a 'picture in a word.

EDMUNDS WILL STAY

Doctor Charles' J W. Edmunds,

graduate of the Richmond high school in the class of 1802, and now "a pro

fessor of materia medica and therapeu

tics in the university of Michigan has

recently received a- very flattering of

f er from Leland Stanford university, California. The, regents of tlje uni

versity of Michigan, however, on learn

ing of the offer, took prompt action

to retain Dr. Edmunds, offering him an advanced salary and the advantage of a new laboratory, fully equipped for his teaching and research work. He will therefore probably remain with

the Ann Arbor institution. '

It was a peculiar coincidence that at the same meeting of the board of re

gents at. which action was taken on

Dr. Edmunds' case, another Richmond man. Dr. Jesse Reeves, was also appointed to the newly created chair of

political x science in the university of

Michigan.
