No Place for a Grouch

One of the most popular and interesting

places in the city is the public school playgrounds on South Twenty-second street. If dull care has

given you the blues, go to this juvenile rendez

vous any afternoon and absorb the joyful, enthusiastic spirits of the youngsters at their play It is a sure cure, unless you chance to be a chronic grouch or an incurable dyspeptic.

It is pleasing to note the number of girls who

make use of the tennis courts and there were

some, yesterday afternoon, very earnestly

"chinning" themselves on the horizontal bar.

Of course there was a hotly contested and

far from errorless baseball game in progress, but the doughty captain of one team bitterly and

shrilly protested over the rough condition of the outfield when his star centerfielder tripped over a miniature clover covered hill and allowed two

base runners of the jubilant opposition to scamper across home-plate. A section of the cinder running track would be improved with weeding, a scantily attired youth announced, which statement received the indorsement of other youngsters in a similar state of undress, bringing the ruddy tinge of good health to their cheeks, which even plentiful coatings of dirt could not hide, by pole vaulting, jumping and running. The children of the south end are soon to have a playground and it is to be hoped the children of West Richmond and the north end will be provided with similar places.

To Progressives Progressive voters of Richmond are again reminded that the primary election for nominating a city ticket will be held next Monday. Progressive principles are built upon good citizenship and to be a good citizen it is necessary to take an active and intelligent part in the affairs of one's party. Last fall a mighty protest was registered against numerous evils which had crept into our system of government, but these evils were made possible by the indifference the average voter had displayed toward political affairs. He had reasoned it out that there were enough politicians to look after such matters without any interference on his part. In consequence the politicians finally reached a point where they absolutely ignored those millions of people who refused to interest themselves in political affairs; and were managing the affairs of the various units of government to suit themselves and their allies, the great business interests. The movement for the restoration of popular government has now progressed to a point where its success is assured, providing, of course, the voters continue to follow out their new policy of controlling the government through personal management of party affairs. To date, the American people, not the American politicians, absolutely control the second strongest political organization, the Progressive party. To maintain the domination of this powerful organization the people must continue to manifest interest in its affairs. If they do not

they can rest assured that the politicians stand ready to take over the management of the party. In compliance with the party principle of popular management of party affairs the local primary is being held to nominate a city ticket and it is the duty of all Progressives to perform their part of this important work. In another column of this issue will be found a statement of the qualification of voters at the Progressive primary, issued today by the Progressive city committee.

lump because the packers did not want it to compete with cowhair, while makers of dress parade hats used it for plumage. So the bill must say: 'Hair from the tail of a horse, 15 per cent; hair from the body of a horse, 50 per cent.' "This i3 the system that gives us a tariff bill two hundred pages long and so amazingly complex that no one expert can really understand all of it a system so imbedded in American business that the Democrats, while lowering duties, are forced to retain it. A genuine tariff -for-rev-enue bill could be written on three pages; but it will be a good while before we get around to that."

No Need of Hurry Why not an official home for the Vice President, provided by the nation, and suitable to the dignity and importance of the office and the social requirements imposed upon its occupant? Few things would contribute more than this to give the office the place in public estimate to which it is entitled and to which, having long been degraded, it ought to be restored. One reason why there should be a Vice Presidential residence is that the position involves social duties that are quite beyond the reasonable possibilities of the compensation now granted. It is a severe test of the business capability of a poor man, or even one of moderate means to be Vice President. In 1908, when Senators Dolliver and Cummins were both pressed for the Vice Presidential nomination, both begged that they should not be drafted because they did not feel that they could afford the position, entirely aside from the fact that neither wanted to be sidetracked from his public career. The alternative executive position ought not to be regarded as a sidetrack. It is entitled to grow In importance and influence; and to give it the standing, dignity, and meaning that would attach if an appropriate residence were established, would go far to make It a more desirable position. Washington Times. There is no need for hurry in reaching a decision on the question the esteemed Times brings up. If a vice presidential mansion is not constructed during the Wilson administration it will make no difference because, it can be positively stated, the Jeffersonian simplicity of the present incumbent of the office, the Hon. Thomas Riley Marshall, would not permit him to live in such

regal state.

STATE BRIEFS

NIGHTS MADRI GRAS

-T

Night is the true democracy. When day Like some great monarch with his train has passed In regal pomp and splendor to the last, The stars stoop forth along the Milky Way, A jostling crowd, In radiant disarray, On heaven's broad boulevard in pageants vast, And things of earth, the hunted and outcast, Come from their haunts and hiding places; yea, Even from the nooks and crannies of the mind Visions uncouth and vagrant fancies start, And specters of dead joy, that shun the light, And impotent regrets and terrors blind, Each one, in form grotesque, playing its part In the fantastic Madri Gras of Night. Edward J. Wheeler.

An Illustration Our cumbersome tariff system is aptly illustrated by the following few paragraphs clipped from the Saturday Evening Post: "The new tariff bill begins with acetic or pyroligneous acid, of which $5,800 worth was imported last year, yielding the government $1,500 of revenue; and that, comparatively speaking, is a very important item. Only $1 of revenue was derived tfrom sulphate of iron; but it is down there in the bill. Everything that ever was thought of is down there. The bill itself comprises some two hundred pages, and is accompanied by an official reference book of eight hundred pages. The cotton schedule alone covers in detail every minute variation of fabric known to man. "Such is the literary effect of the government's effort to give everything that measure of special privilege that other beneficiaries of special privilege would consent to. It would never do to say, 'Dogskins, SO per cent ad valorem," because protected manufacturers of fur coats wanted dogskins cheap while protected manufacturers of catskins wanted small dogskins dear and both had a pull. Therefore the bill must read : 'Dogskins if more than two feet across, 10 per cent ad valorem ; if less than two feet across, 60 oer cent ad, valorem.' Horsehair could not go in

WOMAN IN TERRIBLE STATE Finds Help in Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.

Bellevue, Ohio. "I was In a terrible state before I took Lydia E. Pinkham's

Vegetable Compound. My back ached until I thought it would break, I had pains all over me, nervous feelings and periodic troubles. I was very weak and run down and was losing hope of ever being well and strong. After taking Lydia E. Pink-

ham's Vegetable Compound I improved rapidly and today am a well woman. I cannot tell you how happy I feel and I cannot say too much for your Compound. Would not be without it in the house if it cost three times the amount." Mrs. Chas. Chapman, R. F. D. No. 7, Bellevue, Ohio. Because your case is a difficult one, doctors having done yon no good, do not continue to suffer without giving Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has remedied many cases of female ills, such as inflammation, ulceration, displacements, tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, and it may be exactly what you need. The Pinkham record is a proud and peerless one. It is a record of constant victory over the obstinate ills of woman ills that deal out despair. It is an established fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has restored health to thousands of such suffering women. Why don't you try it if you need such a medicine?
