Items Gathered in From Far and Near

DIZZY DEMOCRACY

Why subscribe to Life? - The late spring has retarded the luxuriant growth of verdant vegetation but the Morning News says: "The Democrats of Wayne county, in their convention at the Pythian Temple yesterady arternoon, nominated a strong ticket with much enthusiasm, the latter coming as a summer storm, mmbles heard from afar, the sky blackening, claps of lightning occasionally breaking the "stilly stillness," then the rain and the gusts of wind and the noisesome roar, and finally the sunshine and a clear landscape, all of which took about the length of time of a modern drama, the elements of which were moral and a love story in this particular case, a love of the old Democratic party." (Why not evil smelling? Or the adjectival form of the good old Saxon stench?)

TO YOUNG MEN

There are a lot of young men in this town who are working on small salaries. They go to their work and do it more or less well. When the end of the day comes they think that is all there is to it and they go home and meditate on how long it will be before they get a raise. Sooner or later that young fellow will wonder if this is a good town for young man. : We have had occasion to say from time to time to employers of labor that the best thing they can do for their own business and for Richmond is to give the young man a chance, to encourage them, and when they have shown that they have something in them to give them such pay as will induce them to stay here. But unless the young men of this town show that they have something in them nobody can blame the employer if he is a little backward on pay day. There 13 an opportunity for young fellows in this town who are made out of the right sort of stuff and we are going to tell them about it. No employer who is worth working for and most of them are pretty level headed, but will recognize any effort on the part of his employes to help his business. And he will recognize it in a tangible form. The Young Men's Business Club is engaged in the building up of enthusiastic work for Richmond. It. helps the whole town. If the young men of this town will get into the game and work as hard for the town they are benefiting themselves as well as the employer. The better business is in Richmond the better wages and salaries will be. If there is more money in the till there is more money for wages. If a young fellow shows a disposition to work for the town there are mighty few men in Richmond who are employing labor, skilled or Unskilled but will keep their eyes on the man who does it. And another thing, the employers who are represented irt the Young Men's Business Club are broad, progressive men. They are on the look out for young men with the sort of enthusiasm that gravitates toward the Young Men's Business Club. The Young Men's Business Club wants all the men of every sort who, are willing and anxious to do things for Richmond. Becaus the Club has done a lot for Richmond wo are anxious to see its sphere of usefulness enlarged.

ITAFT AND THE RAILROADS

The Press on President's

Conference With Western Committee. (Pitsburg Post.) At first blush the railroad confer

ence at the White House would seem to have ended with the Administra

tion securing all that is desired to ac

complish by its Missouri injunction,

which it agrees to withdraw, the rail

road magnates withdrawing the higher

rates schedule to await the operation

of the pending bill amendatory of the

Hepburn law. But if now by any machinations this bill is defeated and only the old be left fo application, the railroads win for a time, and perhaps permanently. At any rate, the Administration's injunction seems a confessed subterfuge employed against the Senate and the railroads.

roads will give up the idea of getting ahead of the new railroad law. And. on his part, the President has agreed to withdraw the injunction Suit when the new law goes into effect. The Administration has won a notable victory. And the railroads have lost nothing but the chance to dodge the Commerce Commission. v

Result Is Satisfactory. (New York World.) After their long conference yesterday with the President of the United States the Western railroad men sur

rendered. The new freight rates agreed upon in defiance of law are to be abandoned. After the railroad bill upon which Congress is working goes into effect the Government suits, no longer necessary, will be discontinued and rates may be adjusted in an orderly manner, as the new- rate law prescribes. This result is most satisfactory. It shows President Taft busy in his constitutional duty of taking care that the

laws be faithfully executed. He cannot suspend the laws. Railroad managers cannot be permitted to Ignore them, as they so jauntily set out to do. "Washington, not Wall street, is still capital."

Wall Street's Mistake. (St. Louis Globe-Democrat.) But so far as regards yesterday's decline, Wall street cried out before it was hurt. The fall in Quotations was due to the circulation of reports on the Stock Exchange that the railroad

presidents who had gone to protest to

Mr. Taft against the Governments action against the Western trunk lines had given np all hope of being able to alter the Government's procedure. Just as the Stock Exchange was closing the railway officials were beginning their taly in the White House, but the result turns out to be just the opposite of what had been feared.

CASE SET FOR TRIAL. After much argument and interruption by other attorneys, the case of Henry C Kauffman against George V. Schepman, which was to have been tried yesterday in the circuit court was postponed until Saturday. July 2. The plaintiff is demanding ?2X on account.

Triumph of Comon Stnse. New York Sun.) The statement from the White

House last night records an arrangement in which three business interests of the entire country may find reason for congratulation. It denotes likewise a triumph of common sense over technical legal opportunity. It is unnecessary to recur now either to the genesis of the injunction proceedings

or to their propriety. Sufficient that the conclusion along the lines of the' pending railroad bill preserves the dig- j nity of the Administration, satisfies ' the representatives of the Western railroad companies, arrests an initia-j live policy in which there were the j gravest elements of danger, and, last j

but perhaps not least, averts a very serious legislative situation.

tection and Imunity from the assaults of the thousands of invisible enemies his scientific guides assure him are constantly awaiting opportunities to waylay and undo him? He can't, the poor fellow is helpless to prevent all the exposurefi and somewhere at some time the germs are going to get him without regard to his solitary and antiseptic strap. His aspirations are good, but his means are limited. Like the most careless, as he is without sufficient guard: but un

like them he is unhappy. The thoughtless grin cheerfully at the germ theory

and rush to destruction. The careful

shudder, are alarmed and hurry to their end.

. The Individual Strap. New York Sun. A prudent man of Cincinnati, having been properly alarmed by the perusal of various reports as to the prevalence of germs and microbes, has provided for himself a strap for use in public conveyances. His plan is to avoid the straps furnished by the transportation companies, in which disease carriers are declared on high authority to dwell, and to assure himself that his anatomy shall be restricted to the use and enjoyment of his own germs and no others. Probably he has increased his happiness and his proceedings are his own business. Who has not seen a short man put the crook of his cane over the strap rail of a car and hang on for dear life to the ferule? Yet the cultivation of such exclusion would be attended with difficulties. The truly cautious man would not sit in common seats in public places nor eat his food from common china with common silverware. His feet in his daily walks would stir up dust that is filled with germs of all sorts, and the air he breathed at night while sleeping would bo free from them. The letters he received by mail would have been handled by many men of many kinds, but all properly certified as to gerb life; the clothing in which he is draped himself would never have been in hidden places. Even then how is he to aasuro himself of complete pro-

TWINKLES

Protest of a Shipper. (New York Sun.) Jonah emerged "It. wanted to increase the freight rates," he complained. Thus the first transportation protest was filed.

For the Regular Army. Chicago Inter-Ocean. The army then and the army today is one of which the United States may well be proud President Taft in eulogy of Custer. This is a tribute always owed but seldom paid. There are many to speak of the navy of the past and the present, and more than many to tell the deeds of the army's glory in the past. But for the fine, clean cut, loyal and unflinching men of the army of today there is only the occasional word. Only a few years ago the writer stood with a foreign officer a3 ,". K United States regulars marched past. "With m.ooo men like them I could conquer half the world:" the officer exclaimed in his enthusiasm. That's the kind or a regular army we Americans have, and it would be gracious on our part to mention it a little oftener.

What Good is Father? Washington Post Father has always been the "goat." It was always father who held the family from the achievement of its social ambitions. It was father who made blunders that put the family to shame. Father never would take to the new-fashioned ideas. He was against the domination by the younger generation, against suffrage, against women's clubs, against the teaching of French to the children: in a word, a natural reactionary. It was but natural therefore, that father should become generally known as a back number, useful only in bringing home money and writing checks.

The weather bureau has arranged to give daily weather forcasts by telephone to farmers in Texas. At noon each day rural subscribers are called up, and the weather forecast is announced to all simultaneously. Subscribers in towns and cities can obtain the weather forecast at any time of the day after 11 a. m. by calling up central.

What the Grom Does. (Detroit Fiee Press.) "And did you play much of a part at your wedding?" "Well, I was the man who wore t'.ie conventional black.'

In Cincinnati If the weather doesn't suit you Do not fretful grow. There may be a brand-new climate In an hour or so.

Feather in Taft'6 Cap. (Louisville Times.) The promptitude with which the railroad presidents have come to the

Taft way of thinking in the matter of!

railroad rates is quite a feather in the President's cap, evidencing, as it does, that he can, on occasion, swing the big stick first and follow it up with soft words. Teddy himself could not have handled the situation to better advantage; for not only have the railroads come to time, but the nature of the agreement reached unites the full force of public opinion, as to the desirability of the early passage of the hailroad rate bill.

A Notable Victory. (New York American.) The country is to be congratulated on the outcome of the White House conference yesterday. It seems to be settled that the rail-
