It lias long been one of the recognised and cheerfully assumed dangers Incidental to ballooning that whenever those Indulging In that futile form of travel pass over a man or hoy with a gun the weapon is almost sure to be tired at them. What impulse it Is that moves people to commit this crime, equally Imbecile and outrageous, has never been discovered. The one man who, so far as we can recall, was Identified, arrested and tried for yielding to the strange inclination to shoot at balloons, wasn't able to give an intelligible explanation of his act. It has been manifested in every country where it has had opportunity for display, however, and the chances are that is Is a survival of some old huntInstinct, once upseful to the race. Automobile Accidenta. From the Springfield Republican. , The week has brought a lot of deaths through automobile accidents, which, are through automobile accidents, which are now too much accepted as commonplace incidents. There is nothing more inexorably dangerous than powerful machinery where the human control of it haa been lost It Is for those who handle automobiles always to keep this in mind and take no risks that can be avoided.

ARE YOU AN OPTIMIST? From now till Friday the committee on membership of the Young Men's Business Club will be active. There are certainly five hundred men 3 in Richmond who are the sort to be willing to give some of their time to making Richmond a better town. It has been successfully demonstrated that the only way to accomplish anything is to get together. You will believe this when you remember the state of things in Richmond over two years ago. Every man who is now in the Young Men's Business Club was just as anxious then to do work for the town. But had you approached him he would have said: "Well I've tried to do that; I thought of it many a time, but you can't get the people together." Then he would have proceeded to tell in candid and forcible language Just exactly what he thought of the town and the people who lived here. Naturally the more he thought about it the worse the town seemed And the worse it seems to any considerable number of people the worse it is. For the pessimistic idea which is concerned in criticism and in the finding all the faults never tries to build up. You don't hire a house wrecker to build a house, nor an undertaker to send a man to vigorous health and activity. Neither do you build a good town out of knockers. .

The work of the Young Men's Business Club is too well known to need comment. It is a unique organization. Most of the work is done in informal meetings over the telephone in a hurry. And the very lack of formality and the staid attitude of mind- means accomplishment of things In a hurry.

Have you seen a beech tree with a dead top? How long do you give that tree to live' Not very long. The vigorous shoots which are the life of the tree the growing partare vital. . It is the same with a town. If you cut out the vital, growing part of a tree the dead trunk will stand for many years until it is blown up. .

Richmond ought to be a young man's town. The minute it is anything else the young men will leave it. That means lost energy. . Whether it Is a machine or a tree the loss of energy spells ruin.

Nowadays we hear much about conservation. Do you know what town conservation is? It means the saving of energy and the consequent building town.

Right here it ought to be said that the Young Men's Business Club i9 composed of men of all ages who have the young ideaThere are men over sixty and below twenty-five in that organization. No one ever stops to think how old the man is-everybody is too busy thinking about how to help Richmond.

If you will think over the reasons why you should belong to the Young Men's Business Club you will join. , If you will think over the reasons why you should not belong to the Young Men's Business Club you will not join. The reason is simple. ' If you think over the reasons why you should join you are by that very token an optimist who is anxious to do something for the town you will like to belong. If you are a pessimist you can think up fifty reasons every sixty seconds why you haven't time to do it you won't join it isn't in you to think along optimistic lines. Some day we will publish a list of the reasons that people give as to why they can not work for Richmond. When that Is published Richmond will have a record for sickness and death which will surprise the State Board of Health. When that is published It will go out to all the world that there are some men who have more business than they want they are too busy to get any more trade for Richmond. Then some husky will come in and get it away from them. "

Optimist? No question about It Today is Monday.

HOSPITALITY

Do you remember what men always say of Southern cities? The first thing you hear is of Southern hospitality. The reason for getting conventions to come here is to give the town a good name : ' Especially Is the Municipal League made up of city officials from all over the state a good chance to show hospitality. If not the word will be carried into every considerable city in the state that Richmond is a dead one.' We do not care to see Richmond fall down in hospitality on this occasion. It would be a good thing if council took pains to make sure that enough money will be used in the entertainment of the guests from other cities. Tonight this might be talked over with profit by the councilmen. It will do a lot of harm if Richmond fails to entertain these men from other cities properly. Every newspaper in every one of these towns will carry a story about Richmond.. '. .': The eyes of the state are on Richmond now as a growing, energetic, hospitable town. We can not afford to lost that reputation now or any other time.

Seventy-three faithful employes of the Treasury Department at Washington, most of them with dependent families, have been given notice to quit the service at the end of the month.

Senator Root Proved Real Joker

President Taft Tells One the New Yorker Cracked at Fairbanks Expense Catholic for Tart's Cabinet?

BY JONATHAN WINFIELD. Washington, ujne 0. The fact that Senator Root laughed at a joke even if the yarn was of his own spinning, is the real point of a story being related at the White House and which President Taft admits to be a genuine occurrence. It was during the days when President's Roosevelt's term was drawing to a close and President Taft. then secretary of war was being coached for the presidential race. Senator Root, then secretary of state was one of the chief managers of the Taft boom. But the secretary of state and the secretary of war had to visit the White House to consult the president. They walked over. In those days supplies for the White House offices were brought through the front door. The ice man had preceded the secretaries and there were innumerable chunks of ice laying around on the pavement to testify to his visit "Fairbnaks has been here before us. Take warning! I see his tracks." was what Secretary Root said to Taft. Of course Secretary Taft laughed heartily for the then vice president was a rival candidate for the presidential nomination. Secretary Root laughed, too, but not so heartily . "That's a real joke," said the relator of the incident President Taft nodded his head. Catholic to Cabinet. There is every indication that President Taft may name a Catholic to a cabinet vacancy if the right man presents himself, and a vacancy to suit the man. President Roosevelt, who inaugurated the practice of naming Catholics to office, left two Catholics in official life. Minister Maurice Egan, to Denmark, and Commissioner of Labor Charles P. Neill. His first appointment was Robert J. Wynne, first assistant postmaster general, then postmaster general, and finally consul-general to London. President Roosevelt also had a Catholic in his cabinet, Charles J. Bonaparte of Maryland, who was first, secretary of the navy and then attorney general. President Taft appointed Richard Kerens of Missouri, who is a Catholic and the republican leader of Missouri, ambassador to Austria. He offered the Russian ambassadorship to Edward Morrell of Philadelphia, whose wife, especially, is well known in the Catholic world for her charities. General Morrell, however, declined. A queer story has come-to the war department from the Camarines, in the Philippine Islands. It tells how two men, life long friends, and so intimate that they traded wives, broke their friendship on the political rocks. Both wished to be "presidente." One was successful. Out ,of revenge the defeated Filipino charged before the court of first instance that his rival was violating the law in that he was living with the complainant's wife. The arrest of the victorious politician followed. Being under arrest he too wanted revenge. He made similar charges against his accuser. Both men were speedily tried, convicted and sentenced to three years in prison. Their wives who had agreed to the change of husbands were sentenced to one year's imprisonment. ' The sheriff in conducting his charges to the prison, handcuffed the two men together to their (great sorrow. Their lamentations were so pathetic that two Chinamen, convicted ' of importing opium and sentenced to the peniten t v- - ? v. .A-' mmm 'Xi' A.. . ... -.sw V.5

called upon to render all aid possible to the scientists of the Philippine bu reau of agriculture which is striving to stamp out the disease. The Filipinos are an agricultural people, and since the disease became epi demic there the people are unable to secure animals for working purposes and have been practically forced to abandon their farms. So serious is the situation that not an animal is allowed to enter the Un ited States that has been, even for a short time on Philippine soil. All the horses sent to the islands by the army are kept there until they die. Several instances of officers taking their favorite mounts and. pet dogs to the islands have been recorded and despite their earnest entreaties and personal appeals to Secretary of Agriculture Wilson they have not been allowed to bring them back when their service in the island haa been concluded. Rinderpest or cattle plague, as it was called by the inhabitants of ancient Europe, has existed for ages in the steppes of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Its history is as ancient as that of the inhabitants of those regions. It was brought into WTestern Europe by the migration of the Western Nation in the fourth century, also by the Huns from Central Asia. In the ninth century Germany, in particular suffered losses in cattle amounting to millions of marks. Again in the thirteenth century the pest devastated Eastern and "Central Europe. During these centuries the "wise men" experimented with cures but were unable to find a remedy. During the seven years' war in the eighteenth century the rinderpest spread from Tartary over the Don and the Volga to Moscow and through Poland, Hungary, Prussia, Holland, Italy, France and England and more than half a million cattle perished. A conference of scientific men was then held and quarantine decided upon as the only safe means of stamping out and effectually preventing the spread of the disease. A serum was some time discovered which will with the quarantine established, it is said eventually stamp out the disease In the Philippines. Dawn of Civilization. ; In the light of the latest facts it appears that Babylonia was in a comparatively high state of civilization about 0,000 years before the Christian era. At about that time from the east came Babylonian settlers, who found their way toward the west and, finally halting to the northwest of the Red sea, colonized the region on either side of the Nile. When these colonists arrived from Babylonia they were not wild barbarians, but, as we know from the most learned Egyptians, possessed great ability in certain arts in a word, were civilized. Thus Egypt, long supposed to be the mother of civilization, must hereafter give way to the land of the Euphrates. New York American. .

There has never been a case of blood-poison (even syph ills) or skin disease that it could not cure. Thousands of women take it regularly to keep their blood healthy and their complexion clear.

From the Fort Wayne "JournalGazette:1 A committee of Investigators visited the Root Juice laboratory and were very much surprised at the enormous business the company is doing with the great medical discovery that Is doing wonders for thousands of people throughout the world. The manager produced scores of letters of praise and thanks from people living in almost every part of the country, but the most impressive and convincing letters were from druggists of Indiana and Ohio. All spoke of the remarkable satisfaction Root Juice was giving their customers, and many of them wrote that their Root Juice sales were the largest of any medicine they ever handled. R. C Wood, a druggist of Franklin, Ind., sent some teatimonlals from some of his personal friends whom Root Juice hsd cured. One of the testimonials reads like afalry tale, but all were undoubtedly genuine and conclusive proof ' that Root Juice well deserves the great praise it is getting. It seems to euro the most stubborn cases of rheumatism and kidney trouble, and its healing and tonic actions on the stomach, bowels and liver, is usually so sure and rapid that all who suffer from Indigestion and catarrh of the stomach and bowels, nervous weakness and general run down condition, after taking Root Juice a short while, praise the remedy and persuade their sick friends to try it" The remedy Is well known In these parts, and many of our citizens have tried it, and seem to think there Is no medicine on earth like it r And ' so many local people have recommended the remedy, they have great confidence in Its merits.
