The Third Term.
Ragweed Or Potatoes. Along about the end of July after the heavy rains that send the rag weed and Jimpson soaring toward the biasing summer sun vacant lots of the city of Richmond begin to flourish with all sorts of weeds. When citizens In the neighborhood begin to have the snuffles and to talk In terms of hay fever and to consult the railway literature on the subject of farther north somebody connected with the health department sometimes comes to bat with an order to cut the weeds. If this Is not done then the city is supposed to do the work at his cost. Captain Deuter, of the Salvation Army knows what he is talking about when he declares that these vacant spaces can be turned into things of greater beauty and usefulness for the city. In the first place they cannot be of any less use and scarcely any uglier than they e at the present time. In the second place Captain Deuter has every reason to know how badly people need potatoes In winter time. The thing is too obvious to need discussion. The only question is "how many owners of vacant lots will communicate with Captain Deuter. Mr. Roosevelt's party' platform would have as many startling and unique features as a f Irst-class Sunday newspaper. Washington Star.
The Chinese have elected their first president unanimously, but they will gat over that habit in time. Newark Star.
Moreover, the young woman who learns how to drive an automobile will have mighty little patience with the apeed limit of a baby buggy. Dallas News.
Secretary Wilson cannot plead youth and Inexperience as an excuse for getting In wrong. Toledo Blade.
Smart and fashionable ladies are going to wear feathers on their shoes next season, the inevitable result, we suppose, of all this turkey trotting. Washington Post.
T. R. is not very strong for the recall, but thinks It might have its uses In casea of great emergency. Hardly anybody would object to seeing it worked on the Elgin butter board. Pittsburg Gaxette-Tlmes.
THE COURAGE OF ROOSEVELT.
You may not think 'with Roosevelt, Regarding the recall. His plan to regulate the trusts You may not like at all ; He may not plan a government To be- what you desire. But all men at this time of year His courage roust admire. Ha throws his hat into the ring, Then that waa not enough. Despite the bitter winds that blew He stripped him to the buff! Yet ordinary mortals stand And fear their duds to doff. And wait until tt la May or June To take their flannels off! Mclandburgh Wilson New York Sun.

HOPEFULNESS

the spirit of kopefaWss until it be-
a characteristic, a habit, the

a cheerful end hopeful apirit, even m the dark days, dstafuith the men ofiagh hearts and characters. Try, men, to be hopeful under afl i giiKoatsnffi for he who abandons hope and gives way to despair loses the abXry to master the Afinihif that beset him.
If somebody would just tell the truth about this third term business then there would be less confusion about it. And isn't it the truth that those gentlemen who are against Roocevelt are against him for other reasons than the third term statement that he has previously made? If Colonel Roosevelt had not made the statements which he is perfectly aware he made and which he knows-that everybody else knows he made would that change the situation? Would not these same gentlemen be against him on the ground that Washington had tr say something to be put into his biographies and something to help th Federalist party on the eve of his retirement (particularly as he didn't want the office anymore?! Take the state of Indiana for inn&nce. If the Indianapolis News would be frank about is It not the reason that it is so bitter against the Colonel not because its sense of decency is outraged at the thought of a man having a third term, but rather that the Col. came very nearly putting the blocks to that journal when it publtfched some falsehoods concerning him? Probably Mr. Taft will remember the real reason for Mr. Roosevelt's declaration in 1908 was to keep the convention from being stampeded for h'mself (T. R.) And maybe it will occur to him that it is his failure to keep his faith with his campaign promises that makes Mr. Roosevelt's third term more than a possibility.

Tonight Will Decide.
"What Is the use of living in Richmond anyway?" If anyone should get up in a meeting of the city council, the Young Men's Business Club, the Commercial Club or any other place where responsible men foregather there might be a young riot over that question. A dozen defenders of the city of Richmond would spring to their feet horrified, alarmed and indignant. It in not the proper thing in these days of civic boosting to ask such a question. But maybe it might be a good thing as a preliminary to ask such a question now and then to see how ttrongly men would rally to the dis of the place in which they live. How well do disinterested and icrthy things succeed here? Must there be an ulterior motive and gain lor two or three men before any real t nthusiasm can be stirred up?
A case in point is the Richmond Symphony Orchestra which gives its second concert tonight. In the statement, which Mr. Earhart made of the work and plans of the organization of which he is the head there occurs a very significant statement: If there is any influence that raisin jeopardize the future life and attainment of the orchestra it is the insufficient patronage and interest accorded. Of course it would be much easier on everyone concerned if we could feel this evening when we get home that all the good and worthy things, all the pleasant things which go to make life liveable would just go on automatically. But it there is one thinp in tl.is world that is no good it is an orchestra without an audience. It is just about as valuable as a picture in Mammoth Cave or a repeater watch In the bottom of Glen Miller pond.
The benefits of having a corps f efficiently trained musicians as a part of the Intellectual side of the city's life could be enumerated. It can be reduced to a matter of dollars and cents it can be put in terms of the city's reputation it can be put on the ground of the obligation of every citizen to help a worthy cause. But after all the eternal laws of supply and demand have to work. No one expects John S. Sargent to make his living painting portraits in Richmond, Indiana be he the greatest portrait painter of the age. If there is not a demand for the Richmond Symphony Orchestra Richmond had best stop pluming itself on being a musical center and frankly meet the truth. Maybe Richmond is only another one of' the small western towns that are all so alike, chopped off in the same fashion each fancying that it is the real sesit of culture, art, music and literature. And yet there was a time when all the musical journals and other periodicals once accorded Richmond a permanent place in real musical culture Anyway tonight will decide.

JOHN P. WHITE. . John P. White, International president of the United Mine Workers of America, who is the chief spokesman for the miners in the present negotiations with the coal mine owners and who will have the most influential part in the direction of the great strike of the miners in the event of a failure of the negotiations for an amicable settlement of the wage controversy, was born in Coal Valley, Rock Island County, Illinois, February, 28, 1870.

WHO SUFFERS FROM RHEUMATISM Surely No Reader Of The Palladium When Lee H. Flho Sells RHEUMA For SO Cents On Money-Back Plan. If you suffer from torturing rheumatic pains, swollen, twisted joints, and suffer intensely because your system is full of uric acid, that damnable

Start taking it today; in 24 hours it will begin to act on kidneys, liver, stomach and blood, and you can sincerely exclaim: "Good riddance to bad rubbish." Many people, the most skeptical of skeptics right in this city and in the country hereabouts, bless the day when Leo H. Fihe with characteristic enterprise offered HEUMA to the afflicted at the low price of 50 cents a bottle. If you have rheumatism, get RHEUMA today.
TULLY RECOVERING FROM HIS INJURIES Having partially recovered from injuries received in a railroad wreck at Reading, Pa., last Monday evening, Thomas Tully returned yesterday to bis home here. While he was busy switching some cars in the Pennsylvania railroad yards, passenger train No. 81 struck
the string on which Tully was working. Tully was thrown to the ground, and suffered a badly strained back and many severe bruises. He was taken at once to the hospital in Reading.
He lay a-dylng he had beea A mil who rendered blow for blow, A man who knew tfie ways of sin As some few men betimes will know. Thy asked him as he waited there To pay his greatest, final debt. They asked him softly, asked him fair, If he could die without regret. 1 know." he said, "what you desire; I know you ask me to repent. I know you think I bear the mire That marked the paths whereon I went But listen, T have paid for all The evil things that I have done. Except one deed that I recall I'm only sorry for that one. "Tied? I have lied to men and maids. Have fought, and given each my mark (Ah, would you go and lift the ahadea? The place Is alowly growing dark.) Tou know the life that I have led With evil deeds that make a fog; I'm sorry for Just one, I said I'm sorry that I kicked a dog. Tou smile! And at the door of death? It Is no Jest I whisper now With this scant gasping of the breath. With these cold beads upon my brow. I kicked a mongrel dog one day A brutal kick I laughed in glee Until it stopped across the way And turned and looked In pain at me. "A foolish thought! Ah, you are right Mayhap, but can you understand It waa no open, honest fight Of looks or lies or words or hand, A dog's eyes did you ever see The wondering grief they sometimes hold, "When some such coward, say, as me. Is guilty of the deed I've told? "And so of all my wickedness I'm sorry only for that one: The rest were merely sins, I guess. Such as a-many men have done. And so I well. I try to pray That I no longer have that sight Of that poor dog The shades, X say! I must be very near to night."

Funerals In Scotlanef. In Scotland the custom still prevails of taking down the window blinds at a death and hanging white sheets across the windows. The custom also prevails in the north of England, and in many families a special sheet reserved for the death chamber la kept for the purpose and often used from generation to generation. In many parts of Scotland, too, it is still customary for the nearest relatives of the deceased to lower the body into the grave and wait by the side until the grave Is filled up. London Mail.

"5 Civility
At a banquet given to bank employes in Chicago a bank president spoke on civility, and instanced the bank's new private policeman as an example. If It were not for his unfailing civility. Invariable smile, and kindly disposition, said the president, he would be down at-the Rush Street Bridge in all the snow and rain. But his rare courtesy singled out Mr. Gibbons among the men on the force and he has been advanced to a responsible bank position. No natron of the bank will ever complain he did not receive civil treatment by Mr. Gibbons. That's .what make him so valuable an addition to our force. There is a ljint to all men whose official duty brings them into close relations with thepeople t o policemen, ticket sellers, depot gatekeepers, general information men, those who call out trains, and everybody who rubs up against an anxious public. Civility is their best card. If they know how to handle the virtue it would make them as well as the people happy. Ohio State Journal.
Scared Him Out. "It is the unexpected that happens," wisely observed Mr. Staylate to Miss Gabby. "But," said that young lady, "if it be the unexpected that we may expect to happen, then it necessarily becomes the expected. That is. If we expect the unexpected to happen, then the unexpected will really be what we expect,
and the expected will be the unexpected. Therefore, if we expect the unexpected" But Mr. Staylate said he had to hurry to catch a train. After he had gone Miss Gabby looked at the clock, and murmured: "Well, the unexpected did happen. I didn't suppose I would get rid of him. for two hours, anyway."
Hfs Grudge Against Rum. "Ah, my friend," sighed the reformer, "rum causes lots of trouble in this world." "Indeed It does," agreed the listener. "No doubt you or I would be happier were it not for the rum demon," went on the reformer. "Indeedswe would," again agreed the patient listener. "And how has it caused you unhappiness?" asked the reformer. "Years ago a woman told me that if I stopped drinking, she would marry me." "And you could not stop?" "No," roared the patient listener; "no, I did stop!"
In the Dressing Room. Miss Footlite was "making-up when Miss Sue Brette called. "I am holding the mirror up to nature," gayly remarked Miss Footlltte, as she opened the powder box. "You'd better get some powder on Quick, or you will break the- glass," was the polite reply of Miss Brette, who had failed to draw an encore to her sentimental song. " 'Tis a Picture No Kodak Can Take.'"
