OHto M. James, who has been indorsed by Kentucky Democrats for the United States senate, was born in Crit tenden County. Kentucky, July 27, 1871. He began his' career as a page In the Kentucky legislature and when he was only 26 years old he was sent as a delegate to the Chicago convention which nominated Bryan, ; being made, chairman of the delegation. In two subsequent conventions he served la the same capacity. In 190S, he seconded the nomination of Bryan at the Denver convention. Mr. James was 'the leading counsel for the late Governor GoebeJ in the celebrated contested gubernatorial election case tn Kentucky before he was 30 years or age.

A Clear Title

' Mr. Dill states that it was not the Intention of the company to repeal the sections of the old contract which were omitted from its recent proposal. The title of the proposed ordinance Is different from any amendment to the contract of the . Richmond City Water Works, In that it does not state In fhe title which sections of the ordinance are to be amended and which are to be repealed. We can see no good reason why there should not be a clear statement In the title of the proposed ordinance, stating . specifically what clauses are to be amended and what ones are to be repealed, as all other amendments have been made. We might further ask why did not the company prepare an entirely new ordinance instead of trying to amend the present one? Were they afraid they would lose all rights to their claim of a perpetual franchise?

Here is A nother Example In Section 9 (of the old the present water works contract) there occurs a phrase which we do not find in taking up the corresponding section (111) in the new contract. "and connect such extended mains and pipes with their system and supply them with water continuously at the pressure maintained on other parts thereof." We very much wish that Mr. Dill or Mr. Cates or their attorneys representing the negotiating and diplomatic end of the Water Works would please explain why this was left out of their proposal for a new contract. Perhaps the water works company in explaining that this was left out will explain that this is impossible of performance. Perhaps it is, however It appears in the contract and the present contract at that. Perhaps this will in the mind of the company not appear of any great importance. If the simple average citizen were to be informed that on South F street the pressure is not the same as In other more favored parts of the city he would be the more apt to be indignant if the company insisted on the strict flat rates and water meters as set forth by the contract but abandoned by the company because they are far too outrageous to insist on. We hope that the attorneys for the water works will not advise their clients to hang too closely to the letter of the present contract nor yet to cling too strongly to the idea of framing up a contract which is alright for their clients but which has no safeguards of any sort. In doing this we do not enter the ield of law which seems to be all that the attorneys for the water works and their clients have had any regard for so far in the consideration of this contract. We state what we know to be a simple fact that the people have more ways than one of manifesting their disapproval of those men who insist too strongly on special privilege. We have already recommended to the consideration of the public utilities and their owners in Richmond a consideration of the methods of Macadoo of New York who insisted on the public be pleased attitude all through the operation of a far more complicated system of public utilities than the Richmond City Water Works. The people have been expecting something different this time but the first clauses of the contract do not look promising for their hopes. This is not an idle threat but a statement of the feeling of very many individuals. ' When Mr. Dill and Mr. Cates answer, if they care to answer, the reasons for the omission of the safeguards of the people in this contract , those for instance that we have sofar mentioned we wish them to state their idea of the public utility business. In the absence of any answer from them we shall assume that it is well Indicated by the emasculation of what had the least symptom of being good in the old contract. As for the opinion that the citizens of Rlhcmond have for the old contract we should guess that it resembles ' the one that they had for the first proposal submitted some months ago by the Richmond City Water Works Company. 1 To the citizens we suggest that this is another example of the notice served on them by the water works to examine every word of the contract. And there is more to be asked concerning the 10th section of the old contract and the 4th section of the new one.

PROPOSED CONTRACT . Section IV That Section 10 of said ordii nance be and the same is hereby amended so as to read as follows: Section 10. Said water works may prescribe and establish reasonable regulations for the tapping , of its mains and the operation and , maintenance of its system which , are not inconsistent with the prcvisions of this ordinance; provided, that such regulations shall not be discriminatory against any citizen receiving water service.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyright. 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

THE DIVUfe YEAST. Ragged as to clothes, but clean as to face, a ten-year-old newsboy led dog into the office of a loan agency at Kansas City. Plainly the boy and the dog were chums' of long standing and close fellowship. "Do youse lend money here?" he faltered when the clerk Inquired what he wished. " 'Cause if you do I'd like to borrow two bits on this here dog." There was a gulp in the boy's throat He hastened to recite the merits of the animal. "He's a mighty good dog, he is, and his name's Rover, and" the youngster's voice trailed off into partially conquered sob. "Don't ; worry. Rover," turning to his cham. 'TU git you back agin, old boy, 'cause you an' me's got to stick together." There were tears in the blue eyes of the kid. Said the clerk: "When. I told him we did not lend money on dogs the child appeared actually relieved." And when asked why be was in such dire need of 25 cents he stammered: . "Well, my sister, she is seven years old, and this is her birthday, and she Is sick, and I thought I'd like to get her a present, because we're poor, and she doesn't get presents like some little girls." Upon being questioned as to bow be would be able to repay the loan and redeem his dog be brightened. "Why, you see, I sell papers, and I'd 'ave paid you back real quick oh, in a day or two and I'd 'ave come to see Rover till I eould spare the money." Bravo! At an age when your boy and mine were being cuddled by mother this courageous child bad gone up against the sharp corners of life. ' He knew very well he could not borrow a quarter without giving collateral security. He was willing! For the sake of the sick sister Rover would have been put in pawn, all right, much to the discomfiture of the boy and the dog. Mark the child! Does it seem pitiful that a youngster of ten years should know the stern, give and take ways of a calloused world? Yes, but there is in the boy the making of a man. He has two necessary ingredients of manhood a tough fiber and a warm heart. The world is bigger than he so pathetically bigger. But it is not likely to break him nor , to crush out the divine yeast. A boy who will give up his all for a right sentiment has the soul stuffgiven the working of the divine yeast to rise as high as he wants to go. SHARK PRODUCTS. Even the Bonos Are Useful, the Spina, as a Walking Stick. Products- obtained from the shark are both numerous and valuable. Shark fins furnish a jelly that makes a delicious soup, if one may credit the statements of those affecting that delicacy. There is an excellent market for this jelly wherever Chinese are to be found. The shark's liver gives a splendid clear oil excellently adapted for the lubrication ot the parts of watches, clocks and fine guns. This oil is held in some quarters in as high esteem as is the oil obtained from porpoise and dogfish liver, long claimed to be the finest of animal oils. Sharkskin is of much value. It is of a beautiful burnished gray or bluish color and at first glance looks like finely grained leather by reason of the tiny prickles plentifully set one way. There are so many of these prickles, quite Invisible to the naked eye, that the effect afforded by the dried skin is one of rich beauty, a quality that makes it particularly valuable for the manufacture of shagreen. It is employed for many decorative purposes. Even the bones of sharks are useful. The spine is in constant demand by the manufacturers of curious walking sticks. Tbey pass a thin malacca or steel rod through the polished and round vertebrae, and the result is a cane that sells "for a high price. The shark: spine stick is a great favorite in Germany.

BULL BAITING. A Brutal "Sport" That Was Popular In Former Days.' The principle of bull baiting was extremely simple. A collar was fastened round the bull's neck, and by this

! the bull was attached by a rope to a ; stake. The rope varied from nine to fifteen feet in length and therefore al- , lowed the bull but little movement. The audience was accommodated in m circle or "ring.' The bulldog's duty was to grasp the bull's nose, and when he bad succeeded in obtaining a grip he was required to maintain his hold, despite the efforts of the larger animal to dislodge him. The bull awaited the attack with lowered horns, which the dog sous hi to evade by crouching toward the head of his opponent. Sometimes the bult managed - to get his horns under or into the dog. which was then thrown high into the air. Writers state that dogs had been tossed up to a height of thirty or fort.v feet. The dog. if he survived, would "retire hurt." On the other hand, once the dog. which was trained to grip only the nose, obtained a bold his adversary would have little chance of shaking him off. The bull would whirl the dog in the air and struggle frantically to wrench his nose free from the terrible grip. When, from sheer exhaustion, the dog dropped clear of the bull a fresh dog was sent into the ring. Photographing a Panther. A panther is not easily killed and will often revive with very unpleasant results, as on a certain occasion in the Deccan. He appeared to be quite dead, and one of the spectators rushed up with a camera on a stand to obtain a picture of the supreme moment. He got bis photograph, and. strange to 6ay, it survived what followed, but no sooner had he taken it than the panther revived, tore himself loose and went for the photographer. Somehow the man escaped, but the camera was sent flying, and, disconcerted by his encounter with it. the panther turned and made for the nearest tree, up which he went as quickly as a monkey, ... Now, the tree was crowded with Interested spectators, and for three or four strenuous seconds (until the panther was shot) we enjoyed a spectacle of natives dropping to earth with loud thuds like ripe plums from a jungle plum tree as the panther approached them. Wide World Magazine. Bismarck and His Dog. Sultan, ' Prince Bismarck's favorite boarbonnd, attacked a passing railroad train and was cut to pieces. Bismarck's grief over the dog's agonies was such that his son Herbert tried to lead him away, but the prince would not go. "No. I cannot leave him like this." Then, when the dog's sufferings were over, Bismarck wiped his eyes and murmured: "Our Teuton forefathers showed benevolence in their religion. Tbey believed tbey would find in the hunting grounds of their paradise all the dogs that bad been their faithful comrades here below. I wish I could believe that." Marriage Music. During my school days I met the late Professor Prout, who was as full of fun as he was of musical lore. It is said that at a wedding at which the late Dublin professor was presiding at the organ he played the happy couple In with "Wretched Lovers" and out with "Father, Forgive Them.

WHAT OTHERS SAY

RECIPROCITY IN CANADA. From the Philadelphia Press. The triumphant success of Presi dent Taft's policy at Washington -in the passage by the Senate last Saturday of the measure ratifying the reciprocity agreement with Canada leaves it for Sir Wilfred Laurier. the Cana dian premier, to achieve the, same suc cess at Ottawa. The Dominion parlia ment met a week ago, after a long recess to permit the Canadian premier to attend the coronation and the conference of colonial premiers at Lon don. When he laid the reciprocity greemem wuo. me united states Defore the parliament at Ottawa last winter, it was confidently expected that Canada would ratify first At start, the odds were in favor of immediate action. Canadian sentiment as a whole, particularly in the newly settled territory in the west, on the Pacific and in the cities, favored ratification. Stubborn resistance devoloned. The protected industries of Cana da opposed the change. Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, liberal provinces, were lukewarm, and at the recent local election in Nova Scotia the liberals lost six seats in the nroviscial leriala. ture on the reciprocity Issue. Concerted agitation against reciprocity beean all over Canada, backed by English protests against the step as likely to lead to annexation. THE BRITISH LION GROWLS. From the Baltimore Sun. England earnestly desires peace. She is more than willing to negotiate arbitration treaties, enlarge the powers of The Hague tribunal, accept the convention of the naval congress, join in the establishment of an interna tional prize court, and do all she can to bring about the time when war shall be no more. But rulers of other nations who infer from this that she can be imposed upon will do well to revise their opinions. The speech of Chancellor Lloyd George at the Man sion House last Friday night is regard ed as a warning to Germany. And there is no question that he voiced the views of the cabinet and of the Eng lish people. At the very time President Taft, at Manassas, was uttering felicitations over the negotiation of arbitra tion treaties with Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy and the Neth erlands, as well as, tentatively, with Japan, Chancellor Lloyd George, the mouthpiece of the other grand division of the English-speaking race, was in London declaring that "If the situ ation were forced upon us wherein peace could only be preserved by the surrender of the great and beneflclent position of Great Britain peace at that price would be humiliation in tolerable for a great country like ours. THE NOISELESS AGE. From the Chicago Journal. Experiments with the noiseless gearing in some of the big eastern factories warrant the hope that the next generation will be spared some of the nerve-shattering clamor that now helps to fill hospitals and asylums. That noise is a liberal contributor to our stock of nervous diseases the medical profession is agreed. Only recent ly, however, has there been evidence of a systematic effort to mitigate the nuisance. Effect of deafening clatter r m

FOOD FOR A BILLION. . It seems that when we learn the art of agriculture and of water conservation a little better we shall be able to raise in this country enough food for a billion people. That seems fantastic, but it is not wholly Impossible that such a demand may some day be made upon thla country. If the population should increase as rapidly In the next century as it has on the average for the last, we should have just about one billion inhabitants. It is quite certain that there are babies crying today who will be doddering around 100 years from now. AGAINST THE DUEL. From the New York Tribune.
