Hems Gathered In From Far and Near The Police and the Fourth. From the Chicago News. It is not enough to say what shall not be done on the Fourth of July. There should be programs of rational entertainment. It is gratifying, therefore, that extensive preparations are being made to supply the need in this respect in Chicago on the approachIns holiday. These preparations, however, in no wise relieve the police of the necessity for the strict performance of their duty in the line of preventing the use of dangerous explosives. Until last year Chicago had the unenviable distinction of leading the country in the number of serious accidents on the Fourth of July. Last year, owing to public agitation and police activity, Chicago bad. fewer accidents on account of fireworks and explosives than any other large American city. The public expects the police department to be at least equally vigilant this year. Cornell's Good Fortune. From the Philadelphia Press. Cornell University was fortunate In having the late Goldwin Smith associated with it in his lifetime as one of Its teaching staff for a number of years and warmly attached to its interests all the later period of his life. It was a rare distinction and is made even more notable by the large legacy a4cn it secures by his wllL Few

AL Spekenhier

Charles Bonaparte said once that a man who served the people faithfully deerved no praise and no other reward. If he . is efficient well isn't that what we have a right to expect? Unfortunately the experience of America has not been that sort. The spoils system and the ways of politics have not been such as to make office holding mean public service. And so when there is an exceptional case of devotion to the public welfare the people should not content with the negative praise which Mr. Bonaparte suggested.

Some men are born with the plusmark in their make up. Al Spekenhier is one of them. And now after four years of the most efficient service that this has ever had in the Post Office it seems a mighty good time to out frankly and give him credit. The statement that Mr. Spekenhier is the most efficient official history of the Richmond office does not rest on our sayso nor our ion The department has placed its Real of approval on him and he third in efficiency in the United States. That is higher praise than mond can give him but it removes all personal tincture from what we can say.

But Al Spekenhier has been more than a most effecient Postmaster. Not a more public spirited man has worked for the good of Richmond. The same energy which has raised the efficiency of the Richmond Postoffice the same energy which has raised the postoffice receipts all this has been at the service of the town at any time when there was work to be done. In the awakening of Richmond in the last few years to the attitude of co-operation and accomplishment this man has been at work with all the rest of the, workers from the very beginning, sacrificing his time for recreation to devote it to making this a better town to live and work in.

Therefore we cannot agree withthe Hon. Mr. Bonaparte that efficiency in public office deserves no praise that it is a thing to be demanded and expected. All the town knows the things that we have said are true and knows there is much more to be said.

professors have any money to leave to the colleges or universities. The teaching profession is not a moneymaking business, but Prof. Goldwin Smith, exceptional in so many reBDects. was particularly so in this that he Is able to continue his ser vices to his university after his death by leaving It by his will something like $1,000,000. Indifferent! New Yorkers. From the New York Sun. Magna Charter is to be read from the steps of the city hall on the Fourth of July, and yet there are several scores of New Yorkers who will deny themselves the pleasure of standing In the plaza to listen to the exercises. The Optimist. From the Syarcuse Herald. Vice President Sherman, who has Just returned from a western trip, re ports that he believes that "the Insurgent movement, so called, is subsiding." Now we know why they call his "Sunny Jim." Flocks of Them: From the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Aeroplanes are getting to be thick er than sparrow hawks. Or a Freeze-Out. From the Baltimore Sun. Nobody would mind even being treated with icy disdain just now. TWINKLES BY PHILANDER JOHNSON. Local Pride. "Why do you insist on saying nothing, even when you are among friends and neighbors?" "It's a matter of locaf pride," replied the distinguished traveler. "I desire to show that the tomb of Napoleon is not the only place in the world where a man may attract attention by standing silent." A June Resolution. "I shall be still." said Hiram Wise; "I shall not make a speech. Though countless auditors arise And call on me to teach. The spotlight has a fickle ray. And I can plainly see When it is hopelessly astray And does not rest on me. "Till every earnest graduate And every lecturer bold In phrases lively or sedate Their various views have told I shall not venture to contest For oratory's prize. It's modest quietude and rest For me," said Hiram Wise. Fence Mending. The statesman will explain ere long Unto his home folks day and night How he, though other men went wrong.

"No. Raised his salary and put him under contratc." Abundant Opportunities. "What has become of that actress who said she would rather darn stockings than be on the stags?"

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Cop) right, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye A BKAVL WOMAN. This is a story of a woman's steady courage. She is a janitress. For several years she suffered the infliction of a drunken husband, who finally left her the heritage of bitter memories and two small children. To support herself and little family she took charge of a building. That was twenty years ago. She is still Janitress of the place. Out of her earnings she gave to her children what she was denied a common school, education. And. besides, she threw np a dike against a possible flood of disaster a neat savings bank account. The flood came. Inheriting disease from the father, the children died, one after the other, shortly after they had reached their majority. The illness, the expense of the funerals and the two headstones side by side In the cemetery took the woman's entire savings. She went back to work the next day after each of the funerals, her face a shade graver, but with a sad smile on her features for those who knew her. And now she has thrown up one more barrier against misfortune in another little bank account. And always she is welcome everywhere because of the sunshine In her face. Never in twenty years has she whined or whimpered or obtruded her troubles. Asked one day the secret of her brave fight, she replied: "It never changes a thing to complain, and people do not like it." A commonplace tale? It is not. It is a story of unusual bravery and of a woman who. though uneducated, is in the possession of an unusual philosophy. Read it again: "It never changes a thing to complain, and people do not like it." About the most useless habit one may acquire is that of complaining of one's difficulties. The condition is merely made worse by self centered whining and moping. And certainly "people do not like It." They have troubles of their own He who is forever finding fault with his situation in life becomes an intol erable bore. If he can help himself he should do so; if he cannot help him self he should grin and bear it and keep still. The world is quick to respond to the plea of real distress, but it has no pa tience with a quitter and a chronic grumbler. Let the whlner scrub floors like this little woman and smile. CURE YOUR KIDNEYS. Do Not Endanger Life When a Rich mond Citizen Shows You the Cure. Why will people continue to suffer the agonies of kidney complaint, backache, urinary disorders, lameness. headaches, languor, why allow them selves to become chronic invalids. when a certain cure Is offered them?

Read this Richmond testimony. Mrs. F. P. Brooks, 215 S. Fifth St., Richmond, Ind., says: "We have used Doan's Kidney Pills in our family for years and would not be without a supuly in the house. I took this remedy for a weakness of the kidneys and pains in my back and sides and I found great relief. Doan's Kidney Pills are deserving of my highest endorsement.' . For sale by all dealers.

Pinchot May Be Cause Of Split Between Colonel Roosevelt and President Taft

Oyster Bay, N. Y., June 277. That it ; is extremely doubtful whether Theo-1 dore Roosevelt, in his forthcoming statement on national affairs, will indorse the administration of President Taft is known to the regulars and insurgents and have discussed politics at Sagamore Hill with the recent occupant of the White House. The rock upon which the two may split is the removal by President Taft, of Mr. Roosevelt's personal friend and political advisor, Gifford Pinchot, as Chief of the Forestry Bureau. The views of Mr. Roosevelt, expected publically within 60 days, will be made over his own signature. He is busy inquiring into the 6tate of the nation, but his mind has been made up as to the situation in New York. So far as the national situation is concerned he is cautiously feeling his way, and will make no utterances until he knows exactly where he stands. It can be stated, however, with a reasonable degree of certainty, that unless there is a great change In Theodore Roosevelt's present way of thinking supporters of President Taft need look for little comfort from Sagamore Hill. Will Choose Pinchot. Although Mr. Roosevelt declines to discuss the national situation in advance of his statement, it is known that if he must choose between President Taft and Gifford Pinchot his support will be thrown to Mr. Pinchot. It is equally certain that Senator Root, who conferred with him in Europe, and Senator Lodge and Representative Longworth, who were guests at Sagamore Hill last Sunday, failed to convince Mr. Roosevelt that President Taft was justified in taking such a stand in the Ballinger-Pinchot controversy as to oblige Mr. Pinchot to force the issue which resulted in his removal as Chief of the Forestry Bureau. When Senator Lodge and Representative Longworth left Oyster Bay last Monday they had failed to convince Mr. Roosevelt that his friend, Mr. Pin chot, whom he calls "Dear Gifford," had received a "fair deal" from the White House. Mr. Roosevelt gave little indication that he would support President Taft for a renomination, and from what is known to have taken place at that conference it is going to require considerable argument on the part of the Taft supporters to change Mr. Roosevelt's way of think ing. , Change His Views. Gifford Pinchot and James B. Gar field, who was Mr. Roosevelt's Secre tary of the Interior, said nothing while at Sagamore Hill on Thursday night which was calculated to change Mr. Roosevelt's views toward the National

THE SCRAP BOOK

r"' SAVED THE STEWQuick Wit When to Falter Meant Financial Crisis. The late Little Tim Sullivan, one time pride of the Bowery and potent factor in New York politics, was always resourceful even in his youth. When a lad on festive occasions Little Tim knew what o'clock it was. He and Colonel Mike Padden. secretary of state in the Sullivan cabinet, were at an east side ball with two of the rosy cheeked lasses of that neighborhood of peachy young women. Little Tim and Colonel Mike bad between them exactly $1 no more, no less. Supper time came. Before taking the girls into the supper room Little Tim and Colonel Mike secretly scanned the bill of fare and found that four oyster stews at 25 cents each would just fit their pile. Little Tim blandly and innocently impressed this conclusion upon the young girls. Anything Little Tim said was accepted as the top notch of hospitality. The four stews were before the little party. One of the girls liked catchup. While "rn sronvED irr stow." administering a dose of the condiment the stopper shot Into the stew and with it spurted half the bottle's coutents. "There! I've spoiled my stew. piped the beauteous one. "I'll have to have another." Little Tim. alert to the size of the Joint wad of a dollar, reached for the girl's rained stew, plumped it before Colonel Mike, grabbed Colonel Mike's nn tasted and unadorned stew and. placing it before the girl, soothingly said: - "No. no. girlie. Colonel Mike never eats an oyster stew without sousing It with catchup. He likes 'em that way don't you. Mike?" Mike said he did and took his medicine like a man. A Woman Finds a Way. Two burglars were on their trial and had engaged a smart lawyer for their defense, who. on cross examining one of the witnesses, said: "You say that onjtha night In question the) ipoon. was

Administration. They were well pleased with the result of their conference when they left Oyster Bay on Friday afternoon, and although they decline to discuss their talk with Mr. Roosevelt it is known that they have little misgivings as to the tenor of Mr. Roosevelt's statement. Much depends upon the result of Mr. Roosevelt's forthcoming conferences with President Taft is every reason to believe that Mr. Roosevelt will meet the President and the Governor on Wednesday night of this week in so ongrit t eat you could see the burglars in the room. Was your husband awake at the time?" Witness I don't know. "Was his face turned toward yon or not?" The witness answered that she did not know. "What: You don't know? Now, come, tell me. was his face turned toward you or the wall?" "I don't know." "Ah. ha! I thought so," turning to the Jury. "She could not see. She who identifies the prisoners could not see which way her husband's face was turned. Explain that if you can." "Well. sir. my husband Is so bald that in a dim light I can't tell his face from the back of his head." How He Lost a Million. Coionel Ochiltree used to tell a story of how he once lost $1,000,000. "It was at a banquet." he would say, "and Senator Hearst of California sat beside me. Hearst told how years before be and bis party bad once been helped across the Platte by a brave red haired boy. The boy to do this deed had risked bis life. Senator Hearst as he talked on got enthusiastic in bis gratitude to the lad. " 'Why.' be said. if I could only find that boy tonight I'd make him a present of SLOOCOOO.' "I could restrain myself no longer at this point 1 burst int tears. 'Senator. I said. 'I am that red haired boy. Behold the boy in me! "But Hearst said, 'Ochiltree, you lief "And thus I lost a million." A One Sided Duel. An snecdote of General Israel Putnam describes him as having declared bis detestation of dueling as a mere excuse for turning assassination into a game of chance and yet having been forced by public opinion to accept the challenge of a brother office. They met the next morning, but before the challenger could fairly get into position "Old Put" began blazing away at him. reloading as fast as possible after each fire. His victim protested vigorously. "Great heaven, sir." be ejaculated, "is this the conduct of an officer and a gentleman? What are you trying to dor "What am I trying to do?" roared Putnam as be rammed another charge into the muzzle of his plstoL "I'm trying to kill you. sir. Yon came here bent on murdering me, and do yon suppose I am going to stand tamely and submit to it? No. sir! If yon don't beat a retreat in less time than it takes old Heath to bang a Tory therell be nothing left of yon to carry off." The officer saw "Old Put" meant It and took to bis heels. Jason's Defect. Dont be too critical. The other day I said to a fellow: "Jason, it doesn't show very good manners to whistle in the dining room." "I know it," replied Jason kindly, "and I'll stop it if you quit eating potatoes with your knife and sucking coffee out of your saucer." The trouble with Jason is that he cannot take advice. Osborne (Kan.) Farmer.

Swampscott, Mass., which is about half way between Cambridge and Beverly, and near the home of Senator Lodge. If the conference is not held there they probably will meet in Beverly on Thursday. Republican state politicians who are keeping their eyes on Oyster Bay were greatly interested in a report that Collector Loeb is trying to bring about a conference at Beverly, Mass., next Wednesday night between President Taft, Colonel Roosevelt and Governor Hughes.

IS ELECTED AGAIN President Diaz of Mexico Wins Over Enemies by ap Immense Majority. NO DISORDERS REPORTED Mexico City, June 27. General Porfirio Diaz was yesterday elected president of Mexico, and Ramon Corral, vice president, by an overwhelming majority, according to returns received here from all over the country today. The anti-reelctionist ticket headed by Francisco I. Madero, now under arrest in San Luis Potosl, received about 2 per cent of the vote cast in Mexico City, according to an unofficial statement. It is estimated that between 40,000 and 50,000 votes were cast in the capital. The city was free from disorder of a serious nature, though at several voting places friends of the candidate running against the administration party nominees had personal encounters with officers in charge. Eight hundred electors were chosen in Mexico of whom only four are of the anti-reelectionlsts. From telegrams received from various parts of the republic the same proportion seems to prevail throughout the country. The election in this city passed off quietly and only those interested in politics knew from appearances an event of more than usual importance was transpiring. f he electors chosen will meet next month to vote in the electoral college on July lO to vote for deputies and senators; on July 11 to officially declare the election of a president and vice president, and on July 12 to name jtidges of the supreme court.

MR. JOHN H. CAMPBELL OF RICHMOND, INDIANA

Write Letter Which May Be Great Interest to Skin Suf. ferera at this City of May IS, 1910. - 4' I have been cured of one of the severest and nioet obstinate cases of eczema that mortal could possibly be afflicted with. My citse dated back ten months ago. My hand was swollen to twice its normal siae and the itching, burning sensation was almost unendurable. I began to use salves, liniments, ointments and various poultices, etc. In f4ct I tried everything I could hear of, but to no t1U My hand and arm was In a terrible condition. My finger nails came off. I could not sleep and had no appetite. Could not feed or dress myself. A number of persons who saw my hand shook their heads and said I had blood poison. I was seriously alarmed and thought , of going to the hospital, in looking over my evening paper 1 waa fortu nate to note the D. D. D. ad. I went at once to my druggist Dr. Conkey of Richmond, this city. He wa3 a maxed and told me I had one of the worst cases of eczema he had ever looked at. But he told roe he knew of some bad cases that had been cured ant entirely cured by the use of D. D. D. eczema remedy. After the first two or three applications of D. D. D. I found to my utter and very agreeable surprise, a marked improvement The itching and burning and the painful misery of months had almost entirely disappeared. After using the third small bottle ray hand, wrist and arm had a clean now soft skin almost without scar or blemish. I then began using the D. D. D. soap which cannot be praised or valued too highly. Any afflicted as I was and so miraculously cured, may address me and learn more of this wonderful remedy D. D. D. snd what it did for me. John H. Campbell. Ex-Soldier of the Civil War. 1534 Main street, Richmond. Indiana.
