Charles Jordan-

One of the beat things that has happened for the city of Richmond and the surrounding; country is that Charles Jordan is to be the new sec retary of the Commercial Club. Everybody knows Charles Jordan and everyone who knows him knows the reason for the first statement. As a superintendent of the schools in Wayne County, Charley Jordan has shown wonderful executive ability tart and common sense. What will help him in this new work of his is hi intimate acquaintance with the people of Wayne county and their 'probltms. Anyone who wants anything done will always receive a hearing, not only courteous, but with, a full broad understanding of the real needs of the county. Charley Jordan has been unwearying in hi work of making the schools of this county efficient. That is not because above all other - things he has been interested In school work, but because he brought to the task the singular quality of going to the bottom of thing. His new work will be done the same way. Charlry Jordan is Charley Jordan. Under his inspiration the Commercial Club will, if we are not Wholly mistaken, take up a larger and broader work than ever before. His sympathies and tact will help to penetrate to the very core of the town and country while his large acquaintance really becomes that of the city of Richmond because of hit uriM Uihhnt-ho.

What Will You Do For Richmond It is simply up to the people of this town as to whether they are going forward or back. The Fall Festival this year will be better and more effective than ever before. There is no one in town who is not in favor of the Fall Festival. Everyone know what it has done.

When these .Fall Festivals started Well, you can remember the various misunderstandings that existed between the town and the people surrounding it. You can remember the lethargy which marked the movements started here the lack of co-operation the difficulty of getting anything of any sort accomplished. You can remember how man hated man and would not work for the good of the town. That is a matter of history. But what about the future?

We reprint from our news columns of Wednesday: "A resolution was adopted pointing out the imperative need of money and providing for a more vigorous canvass of business men by the committee. It was also decided that an itemized list of the contributions to the festival be published the week after the event, together with itemized accounts of the receipts and expenditures. "Members of the finance committee and others including NImrod Johnson, chairman of this committee the preceding festival were called on for talks on the situation and it was agreed that a harder fight for funds must be made. Some business men, especially on Main . street, are believed to be making contributions much less than the beneft they will receive from the festival crowds. Mr. Johnson stated that last year $6,100 was collected and the total amount in 1908 was $4,100. Many contributions he said, always came in late and that much collecting must be done during the festival. It was suggested that a list of "$50 men" be drawn up and contributions of this amount asked of them.

Already many men who had already promised their support nae realised that they have let things go by and have neglected to pay in what they Intend to. But even In that very neglect fulness there is a chance that some men are beginning to take the Fall Festival for granted. Some one has to do the work all ought to do the work. For if It gets to the point when some men hang back and try to shift the responsibility on some one else well you know what will happen. , If that time ever arrives we shall have a situation here that will not be helpful to business and more than that, to speak quite plainly, it will stop the spirit of accomplishment which is building up the town in every way. k This thing of being conservative is not a matter of pointing out obstacles any more than optimism is recklessness. This Fall Festival will be the best Fall Festival we have ever had. The effect of the other two festivals is beginning to accumulate you are just beginning to draw the dividends of your investment At such a point what does a real live business man do?

Hems Gathered In From Far and Near

THE MUCKRAKER'S WORK. We hold no brief for the magazines. We speak for them only in the spirit of honest acknowledgment of a debt that has accumulated through the months. We take from them information and inspiration. We find in them the embattled spirit of progressive Americanism concentrating the fire against the common enemy that any daily newspaper must perforce scatter. We find them united in a splendid work of educational humanitarianism. And, therefore, today we cite the result of the casual retrospect of one year's activity by the magazines in what numerous eminent personages would have the American people believe the criminal enterprise of "muckraking": Advocacy of conserving the nation's timber supply and water power. Advertising the resources of Alaska. Urging better tenements. Improving conditions in mines and factories. Revealing child labor conditions. Fresh-air campaigns. Education on tuberculosis and other diseases. War on flies and other insect pests. Open-air school propaganda. Advocacy of pure foods. War on doped medicines. Exposures of white slavery. Social betterment of workers. Attempts to make better laws for injured workmen. War on l6an sharks. Good government in cities. Rescue of poor children. Better care of immigrants. . Improvement of agricultural methods. Juvenile courts. The preventable blindness of children. The preservation of our forests. The - development of our waterways. The needless cost of coal mining in human life. The reasons for the decay of our ocean commerce and the remedies. The problem of the police in American cities. And these are the things of which "muckraking" is made. Philadelphia North American.

THINK IT OVER. On March 15, 1909, the Cannon machine waf saved from defeat only by the help of its democratic allies in the house. These democrats were led by Fitzgerald, a Tammany representative. Among them were Livingston and Howard of Georgia. That was a year and a half ago. Last week these two Georgia representatives were repudiated by their constituents. Has it occurred to you that' if the recall were in operation the people of these Georgia districts would not have had to wait seventeen months to turn out their unfaithful representatives: If the public servant knew he could be discharged immediately for betraying his trust there would be less trifling with the people's will.

TAFT THE SPEAKER

New York, Sept, 30. Delegates rep

resenting nearly every State of the Un

ion filled the' spacious auditorium of Carnegie Hall today at the opening of the biennial convention of the National Republican League. President John

Hays Hammond called the gathering to order and delivered an address which was permeated with Republican fervor and cordially received. Late this afternoon the convention listened to an address by ex-President Roose

velt. At the banquet with which the

convention will close tomorrow night

the speakers will include President Taft and Vice President Sherman.

PRISONERS OF SELF.

In the solitary places of the Rocky mountains may be found those who hare left the world behind for various reasons. Some were broken in fortune, some broken in bealtb and some broken in heart. Those broken in fortune seldom get on their financial feet again. Of these are the yonng-bld prospectors who for many years have needed only ft "grubstake" and next summer to "get through the porphyry" and then wealth. Tbey are concrete proofs that hope springs eternal. Of those who come to repair their health in these high altitudes and tonic air many succeed, although there be graves of the "tenderfeet" up there. And they of the broken heart? Some have found the peace tbey longed for, and some still drag the ball and chain of memory and of regret. You cannot elope from yourself! Now and then by the cabin firelight you ill catch some face In repose, and with its mask off the face bears the brooding, haunting look of one who would forget, but cannot. And behind the face you can almost fancy a tormented soul like Milton's Satan Which way I turn is hell. Myself am hell! Such faces, however, are rare in the mountains, but you will find many philosophers. One of these philosophers dropped this sententious phrase: "It doesn't matter much where you are, but how you are." Is not that fine and true? You may go the world around, but you cannot find forgetfulness or peace save within yourself. It matters not where you are, but how you are. The pessimist will wear purple spectacles and see things darkly wherever be is. He will take the agnostic motto, "Life is thickly strewn with thorns, and I know of no way but to pass quickly through them." It is not true.-of course. Life Is thickly strewn with roses. The thorns are there, "but nren't the roses sweet?" The mountain sage was right. Life is not of the where, but of the bow. None of us can get away from ourselves. If we go up in the mountains or down in the valley, self is there. We cannot drown it in mldocean not in eternity. , We are prisoners, of, self.
