TWO SMALL BLAZES Toy balloons caused two small fires during the Fourth of July celebration in Richmond. In both cases the fire department responded promptly and little damage was done. Last night a lighted balloon fell on the roof of a building at 922 South Ninth street, owned by William Knopf. The rooms were not occupied but the tart of the blaze was noticed by peo ple who were watching the course of the balloon. Sunday night the home of Christian Brlcker, 119 South Third atreet. was aet on fire by a balloon. Only a few of the shingles were burned before the blase was extinguished.

The Longing of a People It is the test of a nation whether or not it awakes to a crisis in ita affairs and realizes the significance of the lessons of the Days Work. ' The question of child labor is more than the question of the children themselves. It embraces both the present and the future the present evil pointing out the future ruin with no uncertain finger. In bis speech at Anderson on the Day of Independence Senator Beveridge set forth the issue. There was no party politics mentioned and yet the speech is full of political meaning. The speech is an Insurgent speech because the Insurgent movement is greater than party. And it is full with the unexpressed longing of the people.

"On this day of our Nation's birth we are fond of saying that the purpose of this Repuolic is to develop human beings. But we say it ignorantly; for. instead of developing human beings, we today permit a brutal system which kills human beings a system which not only kills, but which does far worse, ruins the lives and destroys the souls of human beinga. "And those human -beings are children, from which the men and women of the future must .be made. The one immortal truth in the Declaration of Independence is that the inalienable right of every human being is the right of liberty and the life-pursuit of happiness. Yet that right is denied and forever made impossible to hundreds of thousands of little American children. And is made Impossible by greed. "We hear too much of the worth of the purse, too little of the worth of the soul. We hear too much of politics, too little of patriotism. We hear too much of wealth, too little of character. Vet character is the purpose of human life. One Emerson is worth more to the American people than all the senators they have sent to Washington in a generation. One Lincoln is a better asset to the Nation than all the millionaires ever produced.

"In each citizen's sou) I would enthrone Intelligence, Ideals and patriotism; in every citizen's soul I would dethrone servility, sordidness and partisanship. Partisan politicians of all parties ask you to care for your party; I ask you to care for your country. They ask you to care for your party's welfare; I ask you to care for humanity's welfare. "And what are the ideals for which I would have this Nation live? They are merely those which the Master taught the ideals of brotherhood, justice and mercy; they are merely the ideals to realize which the Republican was established ideals of equal opportunity, equal rights. "I want the great business organizations of this country to serve the people for a fair profit more than a fair profit is wrong. I want every man to have his chance in life less than that Is wrong. I want to lighten the burdens which most of us bear. I want to make this land a better place to live in. I want to make human life happier.

"Whether these blessings shall be ours depends upon the people and upon the people alone. Your fate ia in your own keeping. Let every citizen think, act and vote for his family and hie country and the Republic will not only be secure, but will Increase In the happiness of Its millions and In the respect of all mankind."

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyrfeht, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye A SFENDTHKIFT WIFE. Every woman in tbe laud could read The Spendthrift" with profit. The book, which Is now also a popular play, contains the story of a husband aged and broken before his time by tbe extravagance of a spendthrift wife. Tbe woman in the case is pretty and sweet tempered, but frivolous, willful and selfish. She was not like "The Vampire." who is pictured as deliberately" sucking the lifeblood of her victim. Nevertheless she takes all she can get from bet man and then, like Oliver Twist, holds up her plate for more. She will not understand. Tbe husband strains every nerve to get money. He warns bis wife that they must economize. He tells her he is on the brink of bankruptcy. She sweetly promises to be more careful and proposes that to save money they shall take a trip to Europe, where living is cheaper! Tbe woman has no conception of the value of mouey, no comprehension of ber busbnnd's sacrifice and strain. And then the thoughtless creature, after trying to borrow money from a rich old aunt, accepts a loan from a notorious society rake. She Is not bad only foolish. By and by the wife comes to her senses. She bravely accepts poverty and through struggle learns ber lesson and comes to appreciate ber husband. But the pity of it! She cannot restore bis youth and vigor, spent unselfishly because of ber vain and silly extravagance. An exaggerated story? No. A wife may be foolishly extravagant, whatever ber husband's income, whether it is $:0.000 a year or 51.0CO a year. She knows be does not want her to think blm stingy, and when, taking advantage of this knowledge and of bis love for her. she lures him into spending more thnn his Income she is leading blm and herself into certain ruin. A close student of modern marriage and divorce says that nine-tenths ot domestic unhappiness in this country is caused by money matters. Extravagance la the one special economic and social aln of our day. The foolish doslre to possess expensive things simply because others have them, tbe craze for display, tbe wish to shine socially these are at the bottom of much of the unrest and dissatisfaction of modern married I If a TIED TO A POST. A pathetic picture of man's inhumanity to buoes is that of the poor, half Idiotic boy of eight years who wa3 tied to a stake every day in the yard of a poor farm in New Jersey. The newspapers got hold of the story, and the brutal practice was stopped. It came out that the little fellow was accustomed to tie himself to tbe post. lie . bad been "staked out" like' a horse for so loug that he had come to believe it was a necessary part of his life, so that he would rush to tbe post and put the rope around himself. The poor.cbl waajtadlj demented.

of course, iiuu'ior Hint reason was entitled to particular care and attention and to tbe sympathy that society extends to the unfortunate. Tbe picture sticks in memory. And it is not pleasant. But do you know there are tribes of humans who are inflicting upon themselves a self tyranny and subjecting themselves to a self abasement as complete as those of this boy? They are tying themselves to a post! Voluntary slavery is common. Men are tying themselves up to bad habits and evil practices that interfere with their rational freedom as completely as if they were tied to a post. There is a man who drinks to excess. By. force of habit be has accustomed himself, to tbe drink slavery. He bas come to believe that this servitude is necessary to his life. Like the boy. he goes voluntarily to bis stake and binds himself hand and foot. If you seek to untie him he protests that you are interfering with his liberty! Thousands botb men and womensupposed to be neither childish nor idiotic, are daily courting such self Infliction. Tens of thousands tie themselves up to tbe post of iguorance. They know nothing of tbe freedom of mental emancipation and care nothing. Others will tie themselves to the stake of superstition, and all their lives long are ruled by fear and apprehension of evil. Others rush to tbe post of fashion and bind themselves fast with its dictates, enslaving themselves by extravagance. And some bind themselves both day and night irrevocably to the stake of business and so shorten their lives. Some tie up to tbe money stake and some to tbe post of office. Slaves all! They are not idiotic or childish. They are merely foolish.

BRITISH NAVAL DRILL Practice That Keeps the Crews In Fit Condition.

CLEARING SHIP FOR ACTION. A Lively Tim While tha Daeka Ar Being Stripped af Everything That Would Impede tha Fire of tha Gvna. Working tho Torpedo Nets. It Is a little after two bells In the forenoon watch, or. In shore going talk, 0 a. m and the officers and men of tbe battleship wear an expectant air. The ship's company is fallen in at stations for general exercise. Tbe commander, surrounded by his staff a midshipman, a bugler and the chief boatswain's mate is standing on top of tbe after barbette. A kind of tense bush is over all bands and. indeed, over the rest of the squadron at anchor In the bay. It is a general drill morning, and tbe ships of the squadron are about to compete against each other at various evolutions. On tbe after bridge tbe glasses of the signal boatswain and his yeomen are glued on the flagship. Presently a couple of gayly colored flags are hoisted at ber main. Hardly have they left the rail when the signal boatswain spins round. "Signal's 'place net defense, sir!' " he cries. "Out nets!" bawls the commander. "Out nets!' shout the boatswain's mates. Instantly hordes of men dash at tbe neat roll of wire nets lying on tbe shelf round tbe ship aud push it overboard. One edge being held in place, it unrolls as it falls, making a veil on the side. "Clear the ne 6helf!" The men van ish. "Man the purchase!" Somewhere above a bugle blares out a "G." The marines, handling large bearing out spars, shove the upper ends of the booms, from which tbe nets bang, outboard. They revolve slowly about their lower ends, which are near tbe water line and, hauled by the steam capstan on one side and the seamen on the purchase on the other, extend themselves at right angles to tbe hull. "Break!" bellows the commander, and a sigualman jerks tbe halyards. A red, white and blue pendant, hitherto waiting in a bail at the topsail yardarm, breaks from its confinement and floats out on the breeze, announcing to all and sundry that the ship has finished the evolution and Is now pro tected from torpedo attack by her crinoline of nets. "First ship, sir," reports the signal boatswain, and tho men. once more at their general stations, grin contentedly and make contemptuous comments on the struggles of tbe remainder of the fleet. Thereis a short pause till these are ended; then another boist rises from the flagship's bridge. "In nets!" is the order, and the ship's company is once more galvanized into action. Amid a scene of orderly confusion the huge booms return to position, shut back against tbe ship's side, tbe brails which pass beneath tbe nets every few yards are manned, all bands haul with a will, the mass of steel meshes is rolled up and secured on its shelf, and the bright pendant at tbe topsail ynrdarm is again broken by tbe sigualman. A short "Stand easy!" follows, soon ended by another signal. "Clear for action !" To tbe mind of tbe bewildered spectator pandemonium follows. But it is only in appearance. Each man knows what he bas to do and does it. Under tbe onslaught of the seamen davits, stanchions, rails, stovepipesin fact, all things that can possibly restrict the fire of the guns disappear with a rapidity that gives tbe impression of their being mowed down; skylights are masked by steel hatches, boats are trued in and secured, and in two or three minutes the decks are stripped bare and tbe men again fallen in, awaiting the order to replace gear. This done a longer job, but still accomplished with celerity the last and most exciting signal of the forenoon appears "Away all boats' crews; pull round tbe fleet." The men tumble into their boats it the davits, tbe lowerers pay out the falls, and In a few moments the cutters, whalers, gigs and galleys are pulling for dear life, a midshipman in charge of each. On tbe after bridge the commander, waving two small hand flags which control the huge steam derrick, is lifting the pinnace and launch from tbe boat deck and depositing them in the water. Men drop into them, double aud treble banking tbe long oars, and soon these are pounding after the lighter boats. The evolution is a race, ship against ship. Who will have the first boat back? Who will have all boats back aud boisted first? Midshipmen, probably with bets on tbe matter, are urging their crews on. Every man is puttiug his back Into it for the honor of his ship. Telescopes watch progress from all the vessels' of tbe fleet. Here comes the galley the captain's boat, manned by a picked crew and dancing through the water under the long sweeping strokes of the oarsfirst boat bade Again tbe tricolored pendant flies out. and tbe captain's "doggie" (midshipman) climbs out of tbe galley's stern sheets, beaming all over his boyish countenance. Tbe boats are hoisted as they return. the men left on board manning the fails and running away with them to tbe sound of tbe ship's band playing on tbe shelter deck. Presently all la square again. The boatswain's mates pipe "Bands carry on smoking." Tha forenoon's drills are over, and officers and men alike are in good humor, proud of tbe final signal received from tbe all powerful flagship: "Evolutions smartly performed." London Globe.

New Likeness of Col. Roosevelt "aaarLaaaaag3a!aamw

An hitherto unpublished picture of Theodore Roosevelt, one time prsident of the United States. Since his return from a fifteen months' hunting trip in Africa, Col. Roosevelt has been devoting himself to the political situation in America. He was deeply chagrined at his first defeat, a few days ago, when he had indorsed the Cobb direct primary law for New York and the legislature at Albany failed to approve the measure. Col. Roosevelt is spending the summer at his Sagamore Hill home, discussing politics with regulars and Insurgents alike.

DELICATE QUESTION San Antonio, Texas, July 5. This is I what comes of being too sure of your i getaway. ! The result of being too confident of their ability to elude, the law has put two negroes and incidentally Sheriff i Lindsey of this county in an awful pre-1 dicament. A few nights ago the two Africans burglarized a tailor shop and made a rather fat lift. One of their exploits consisted of the acquisition by each of a brand new and well fitt ing suit of fashionable male wear. The suits fitted very nicely and all was well until Detectives Matthews and Green got next, as it were. Promptly, then, the two black men went into the calaboose, and just as promptly the new suits in which they were showing off were recognized by the victimized tailor as his property and duly con fiscated by the officers of the law. The, great questions now (is: "Who is to provide the two negroes with clothing. Although they will go to the rockpile for several moons they must have something to wear. Sheriff Lindsey says that his funds cannot be used for the purpose of buying cloth ing and the city authorities take the same stand. To transport the men to and from the rockpile in their underclothing, the only thing they are now wearing, would never do, although they attended part of their .trial in that garb. Sheriff Lindsey says that he has the right to make the prisoners go to work in blankets, or a barrel for that matter and that this he! will do rather than buy clothing for a pair of black Raffles.

BEVERIDGE PROVES HE IS A FRIEND OF THE PRESIDENT (Continued from Page One) ences, but it is taken as a matter of course that politics was discussed. But the fact that Roosevelt has received both kinds of Republicans haa put tbe guessers up in the air as to just what h .will do finally in the way of taking a position in the party's affairs. There has not been any intimation thus far that Roosevelt has taken any direct interest in the Indiana situation any more than in the situation in any other state and there is no telling

whether he will evince any special in terest. John Callan O'Loughlin. Washington correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, is authority for the state ment that Roosevelt has shown an interest in Indiana affairs, but this ia the only information along that line that has been given to the public Consolation. There had been a little quarrel after tbe boneymcou. "Aud just look at my pretty linen collar." sobbed the young wife; "the tears have trickled down aud wilted it out of shape.
