A Million Dollars

Tomorrow night there will be a meeting at the city hall to discuss the tying up of this city in a million dollar contract. The representatives of the company will be there to answer any questions which citizens may want to put to them and to explain why the proposed contract contains provisions drawn in the language in which it

stands now. Here is a contract by which the citizens of the town obligate themselves to pay a million dollars. Per capita It would probably amount to $200 apiece In the next twenty five years. In hydrant rentals the city will pay out 1360,000 during the term of the contract while the citizens will make up the rest of the million in their water bills. In this situation we wish to call attention to the fact that the Water Works company has every reason to wish the contract involving this million dollars drawn up in its favor. And we call attention to the fact that the company Is thoroughly conversant with the situation. Every legal point has been carefully looked Into not by one attorney nor yet by two arms of attorneys but by attorneys from outside the city each an authority on the sort of work which he was called upon to perform. A turn of a word, the dropping of a comparatively unimportant looking word or clause a rearrangement of clauses may be worth hundreds of thousands cf dollars to the company. Mr. Gardner, the legal adviser of the city is opposed to this aggregation of attorneys and experts he is single handed. The administration has relied greatly on him as have all the citizens of Richmond. We wish that he had more help and the more we look at the contract the more we feel that every effort must be made by the city if it is not to be the loser of justice In the proposal that stands before the citizen. Here Is another case of the strong and selfish organization of business, compact, with a considerable incentive pitted against the weak organization of the city in which it is hard for men to get together. But it seems to us that if tomorrow night that the individual citizens of the town should come out to the meeting and ask the representatives of the company questions about this. proposed franchise that they would be able to help themselves in this million dollar contract. What, for instance, would the city profit under the proposed contract at the present rates and maintenance of the company? Questions of that sort ought to be the sort of thing that a contracting company should answer, straightforwardly with sufficient data to bear investigation. The reason that so many city governments have failed in America is because when large contracts were up that the citizens never had a chance to interfere. But here- the people have the chance and we think that they will use it. Over a million dollars is what you are promising to pay and tie your hands for the next twenty Ive years, if It signs the proposed contract submitted by the Richmond City Water Works Co. DO YOU KNOW THE PROVISIONS OF THE PROPOSED -CONTRACT? WILL YOU BE AT THE CITY COUNCIL CHAMBER TOMORROW EVENING. DO YOU KNOW YOU HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF ASKING THE WATER WORKS REPRESENTATIVES ANY QUESTIONS YOU WISH 1 ABOUT THE PROPOSED CONTRACT? DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU, AS ANY AVERAGE CONSUMER OF WATER, ARE OBLIGATING YOURSELF FOR $200.00 TO BE PAID TO THE COMPANY IN THE NEXT TWENTY FIVE YEARS. DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU AS A TAX-PAYER?

WHA T OTHERS SA Y CALLING OUT RESERVES From the Boston Transcript There is no confirmation as yet of the rumor current in Paris a day or two ago that Germany has summoned 400,000 reservists to join their regi ments. As this is an operation that cannot be carried on in complete silence or complete secrecy we may feel reasonably certain that the rumor was the coinage of some alarmist of an ordinary newsmonger under the neecessity of sending something. The calling out of the reserves for the whole German active army would mean that at least 700,000 men would have to leave their homes and ordinary peaceful vocations and repair at once to their regiments. Germany manages such things as quietly, smoothly and systematically as may be, but it is beyond Germany's power to blind all the eyes that are watching its military movements or to deafen simultaneously all the ears that have been bent to the ground to catch the first sound of the concentration of so great a force. THE FLY WAR From the Baltimore Sun. ' The battle rages from Bay shore to the uttermost parts of Towson. Hundreds of thousands have fallen and now lie dead in the barrel. When the Swatting Artillery wheeled into action they mowed down the enemy by the quart. The slaughter has been frightful, but the valiant Fly Brigade has brought up reinforcements by the million. As fast as one falls another takes his place. You can see them swimming in the milk pail without waiting for any pontoon . bridge; charging up Butter Dish Hill as if they knew no fear. Though pursuing a Fabian policy retreating when closely pressed, they, leave their tracks on the bread ways and march right up to the mouth of Babyface. Their scouts can be felt creeping across Baldhead Summit. Their forces scale the walls with marvelous agility, and some of the more athletic when pursued escape by walking across the ceiling. Not a few have .fallen into the ambushes set by crafty opponents. MAKE HIGHWAYS SAFE From the Philadelphia Tress. The striking of an automobile con taining five persons by a fast express near Pittsburg with fatal results to most of the occupants is another awful illustration oft he incompatibility of railway grade crossings and automobilese. They cannot exist together without this constant peril and occasional sacrifice of human life. Probably one consequence of the Pittsburg collision will be the elimination of this particular dangerous crossing of fifteen tracks with trains running at high speed and at close intervals all the time, but its abolition should not have awaited this toll of death. There should be a state-wide movement for the abolition of grade crossings, especially near cities where trains and vehicles are both very numorous and grade crossings are death traps. - BAD INDEED From the Chicago Tribune. , When it becomes really interested the British house of commons has no better manners than our own Illinois lagislatura.

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copyr&ht, 1908, by Edwin A. Nye

WtiAT IS TfeVUE LOVE? Love, which ia tbe greatest thing ii the world, often has been slandered by the proverb makers. For instance "Love is blind." Love is not blind. It is acute and open eyed. More tbau that it has in sight It sees below tbe surface. It sees the real, the unseen. Where oth er eyes see deformity or weakness love sees strength and beauty. It does not judge by appearances. Whereof some of us should be glad, because, having neither comeliness nor grace, keen eyed love finds both. It sees that which is worth loving. Another mistaken saying: "True love is first love." It may be. Often it is not Usually first love ia a sort of a mushroom growing sentiment It is not Inaptly termed "puppy" love. . Ordinarily it does not last long. True love is an outgushing fountain that freely gives. It will last as long as It is appreciated. It Is more than a mwe sentiment It is mature affection. Another: "True love never did run smooth." But it does usually. Why not? True love la harmony. It concerns two per sona. Where there is adaptation there is accord. If there be outside interfer ence it will not last and cannot avail. A real proverb is that which says. "Love laughs at locksmiths." It is tbe false love that does not run smoothly. It cannot by the very nature of things. The rough ways of true love are most ly the Invention of tbe romancers. And still another: "True love cannot die." It can. It does die dally. It may be wounded so that it bleeds at every pore. And it may be murdered out right Mostly it is killed by neglect or indifference or lack of response or Inattention. Ton can easily starve It to death. Like life Itself, love grows and thrives by what it feeds on. And. on the contrary, you may feed and pamper false love to surfeit and It will surely die. The seeds of death are In it I submit that true love is so precious a thing it should not depend upon proverbs, even though the proverbs have never been challenged. True love! Without it earth would not be. Without it there could be no heaven. THE Uroomo or HUMANS. The world la growing better. Have you seen a glacier? If so you have wondered at its monstrous grind ing power because yon cannot see that It moves. But it does move. If you could put up some sort of a mark and come back later on you would bo con vinced. So Is tbe progress of humanity slow, but sure. Look over Its track. . A few centuries ago a majority of the men and women were slaves to a horde of petty tyrants. Now, save in some out of the way world corner, the crack of tbe slave driver's whip is never heard. In the middle ages epidemics swept over Europe, destroying half the popu lations of communities. Now you Bel dom hear of the plague. Once men and women were tortured and burned and banged for religion's sake. Now, even in Turkey, there is tolerance and religions liberty. Drunkenness? A hundred years ago the liquor habit was common among the best people. When the minister called the decanter was always on the sideboard. Nowadays it Is a disgrace to be drunken, and beaottedness Is largely confined to a low typo of humans. War? History is the story of garments rolled in blood. Today more Impor tant than the enginery of rifled can non are tbe engines of peace Corliss, Atlas, Westinghouse and the white palace at The Hague stands for the furled flags of battle. Trusts? Greedy, criminal, they are less In their ruthless, tsranox than, the feudal Why Should I Use Cuticura Soap? "There is nothing the matter with my skin, and I thought Cuticura Soap was only for skin troubles." True, it is for skin troubles, but its great mission is to prevent skin troubles. For more than a generation its deli cate emollient and prophylactic properties have rendered it the standard for this purpose, while its extreme purity and refreshing fragrance give to it all the advan tages of the best of toilet soaps. It is also invaluable in keeping the hands soft and white, the hair live and glossy, and the scalp free from dandruff and irritation. While its first cost is a few cents more than that of ordinary toilet soaps, it is prepared with such care and of such materials, that it wears to a wafer, often outlasting several cakes of other soap, and making its use, in practice, most econora ical. Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, but the truth of these claims may be demonstrated without cost by sending to "Cuticura," Dept. M, Boston, for a liberal sample cake, together with a thirty-two-page book on the skin and hair.

A hundred years ago the insane were chained like beasts in a cell, and prisons were veritable hells of torture, and hospitals, homes for tbe friend less and organized charities were un known. Philanthropy is the product of the last hundred years. And. ao you see. when you look back ward over the weary way by which it has come the upward trend of strug gling humans Is plain.

He passed away singing in a weak and faltering voice "The Top of the Mornin'." Nor was be intoxicated nor beside himself. He was sober and in his right mind. That a dying man should sing the old Irish -melody instead of a religious hymn seems strange. But Grady was an electrical worker, and one day he was carried into the pres ence of his mother with one leg and both arms literally burned off by a current. In his pitiful plight be suffered agonies beyond description. But when be saw his mother he forgot his pain. Tou see, mothers are just bound up in their boys. It is the way of them that when a son suffers pain in their presence they suffer as keenly as he does. John Grady knew that And so, crushing back the pain that was taking bis life, he called out to his mother to say that he was not badly hurt "There is no cause for alarm, mavoureen," said John Grady to his little old Irish mother. And thenSeeing tbe look of maternal anguish, be thought of his mother's favorite song. She had sung it to him in his cradle. Often they had sung it together. To prove to her that there was no reason to be concerned about him he started to sing tbe old melody. Trivial? Under ordinary circum stances trivial, but now it was tbe outburst of the holiest impulse a boy can know. Surely the angels in heaven must have heard and changed that roistering song into a paean of praise. The song faltered ceased. Somehow Grady's voice would break In spite, of him: the brave Uds. twitch-
