ROGER A. PRYOR. Roger. A. Pryor, one of the few surviving generals of the Confederate States Army, was born in Dinwiddie County, Virginia, July 19, 1828, and received his education at Hampden-Sid-ney College and the University of Virginia. A year after his graduation from the university he was admitted to the bar, but did not immediately begin the practice of law. Instead he took up newspaper work and for several years he was the editor of papers in Petersburg and Richmond. In 1855 he went to Greece on a diplomatic mission for the United States Government. Upon his return he was elected to the 36th Congress. Two years later he was reelected, but did not serve as he resigned with other representatives of the South on the eve of the war. He was a member of the First Confederate Congress, but soon quit the legislative halls for the battle field. He distinguished himself in the service of the Confederate States and rose to the rank of brigadier-general. After the war General Pryor began the practice of law in New York City. He was eminently successful in his chosen profession and for a number of years occupied a place on the New York supreme bench.

A Backward State and a Paralyzed City Now and then there must rise a bitter taste of hard feeling in every public official's mouth when he is blamed for something either unjustly or ignorantly. The official feels that he alone is responsible, he alone gets the blame and he alone knows the circumstances and the reasons for any policy. We have not the slightest doubt that Mayor Zimmerman feels that the state of the city finances is the best it could be under the circumstances and that he as the originator of the municipal light plant is more deeply interested in Its welfare than anyone else in the city.

We can quite understand the impatietice which he and the councilmen might properly show to those citizens who condemn the present situation without having gone through the city finances.

It was a bad thing for the city that people did not attend the meeting of council laBt Monday night (hot though it was) for if things were right they should have known it and if they were not right they should have been willing to take such friendly action as would relieve the situation. It is a bad thing for the hospital that It has been so left to one side in the public estimation. Citizens have been content for a very serious controversy involving their interest to continue for months without themselves taking a part in it. In county affairs the county commissioners transact the city business with never a visitor except those who are vitally interested.

A water works franchise and contract is in the makjng. When the thing gets to council, or even after the thing has been passed upon then there will be sharp criticisms without doubt. The effect of this is to make all public officers feel that they and they alone have the true knowledge, the true insight, and the true responsibility. As a matter of fact the cities in which this occurs are the cities which ultimately get into trouble. The city business does not appeal to them, they shirk their responsibilit b. They may attend their prayer r. eetings regularly and shirk their ward meetings and primaries. They may spend their time in playing cards and allow the city's business to go on ur challenged and misunderstood. They may stand in front of a bar while a water works contract is being passed on that very evening or they may be automobiling. But whether it is the prayer meeting, the worldly pursuit of pleasure or weariness after the day's work they are not doing the right thing by themselves or their city they are not living up to their obligations to the community.

As things stand now the state of Indiana is operating under a constitution which is fitted only for a time gone by. The laws affecting municipalities have made a hodge podge of city government, our powers are limited, departments can not be run on an efficient basis. All is lassitude and a jungle of disorder. In the meantime we send practically whoever wishes to go to the legislature without imposing on him any serious obligation to take one step for the welfare of the state and the city in which we live. As long as this public policy of "Oh, well I don't care" proceeds, we shall have precisely what we deserve and precisely what we have alieady, a backward state and a near paralyzed city government.

"Gentlemen: In 1908, my mother-in-law (Mrs. Anna Govert) was taken sick with Catarrhal Pneumonia, and continually grew worse, requiring a trained nurse. The nurse informed me that she had Tuberculosis and nothing could be done for her. The Rev. Wm. Berg, of St. Michael's church, at Shereville, Ind., who prepared for her death, recommended that I get some Eckman's Alterative and see If it would not give her some relief. The physician told me that she had Consumption and was beyond all medical aid. So I immediately sent for a bottle. Practically without hope for recovery. I insisted that she try the Alterative, which she did. I am glad to say that she soon began to improve. Now she frankly says she owes her life and health to Eckman's Alterative." (Signed Affidavit) JOS. GRIMMER. Eckman's Alterative is effective in Bronchitis, Asthma. Hay Fever; Threat and Lung Troubles, and in upbuilding the system.

Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty-seven percent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen t We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of-these precious lives.. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they Btupefy, retard circulation and leaq to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Ciias. IL Fletcher.

Commitment papers were made out for Marion Clapp, the 13 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Clapp for the Boys Reformatory at Plainfield, Ind., where he will join his two older brothers who have been sent there. During the past several years young Clapp has appeared before the Richmond police on various charges, mostly petty misdemeanors. Last week he was arrested and was bound over to the Juvenile court by Mayor Zimmerman. Clapp appeared before Judge Fox this morning and after a thorough investigation it was decided that he was to spend the next several years in the reformatory He was given to understand that provided he conducted himself like a gentleman and behaved in the proper manner he could be released before reaching the age of 21 years. When informed of his commitment young Clapp never moved a muscle and took his medicine as though it was a common event.

all the consumers who are enjoying various rates. It begins with you Mr. Domestic Consumer at 25 cents per gallon and runs down to a cents for the same quantity. And 6 cents is far below the average amount that must be received per gallon to maintain the Water Works Company on a profitable basis. The remedy allow the Water Works Company to charge but one price for the water it sells regardl- ss of the amount any large consumer uses. Remember, at 25 cents or 6 cents per thousand gallons it Is the same quality of water that is being sold. It is not as if you were trying to force the manufacturer of a $5,000 automobile to sell his product at $4,000 and the manufacturer of a $3,000 automobile at f 4,000 quality in this case is different. You are asking the Water Works Company to stop discriminating between your comparatively few dollars and the millions of a larger consumer like the Pennsylvania railroad. You are demanding the application of the "square deal" to your water rates that all water consumers shall pay an equal price for the same quality of water. You are attacking the principle that is making the rich richer and the poor poorer. The way to apply the remedy an equal price rate for all consumers of water in Richmond the board of public works of this city is now at work on the new contract governing the rates and terms under which water shall be sold in Richmond for the next twenty-live years. Go to these men, who have the power to ask bids for a contract that stipulates only an equal price rate may be charged, and ask them as your representatives, as the men whom you have entrusted with the affairs of your city, to approve of no form of contract that provides that one cittsen of this city, because he uses more water than another, shall have any lower rate than you. Tell these men that quality and not quantity should govern the rate. Declare that you are tired of the injustice of paying a higher rate so that any man or corporation, simply because of the power of being a large consumer, may enjoy a lower one. And then tell the same thing to the councilman from your ward. This is your city. It is Richmond because you live here. Try taking a hand in running it by telling your representatives in council and the board of public works what you think they should do. You have as much right to do so as the representatives and attorneys for the gentlemen who will bid on the new water contract. Your representatives in the city government know they are there by your suffrage. They are reasonable men. They want to be governed in their deliberations by a keen sense of Justice. Go to them and tell them that it is time to stop the practise of subsidizing with low rates those who can well afford to pay as much as you for the water used in this city. If you had the initiative and the referendum and the recall you would have the power in your hands to stop such rank discrimination. In cities having the commission form of government like Des Moines, the people by their ballots are the court of last resort. They declare whether or not a franchise shall be adopted. They have the power in their own hands to protect their Interests. But you have not that power yet. So put your personal efforts behind the cause of justice in water rates by letting coutf cil and the board of public works know where you stand. Coal and the railroads water and the railroads. The larger purchaser or consumer except the general public always buying at the lowest price. And always you find this condition resulting in monopoly. Begin to "unscramble" Mr. Morgan's "eggs' commence the work of abolishing the underlying cause of all un natural monopoly the power of the larger purchaser to buy water, for instance, of equal quality at a less price than you, the smaller purchaser. When we have practised on our home monopolies we will perfect ourselves enough to warrant our tackling the gigantic monopolies of nation-wide scope. The home 6tretch of the whole water supply question is in sight let the people win with "An Equal Rate to all Consumers of Water of the Same Quality" for their slogan.
