Reaping the Harvest. The board of public works has turned down Fire Chief Miller's request for a new ladder truck. It is just another case of the handicap Piichmond must continue to suffer under as long s inefficient administrations are elected to govern this city. Richmond is broke so broke that it can not maintain the depreciation of its city property. The old ladder truck saw its best days years ago. Since then it has wobbled, lurched and swayed to fires. It's rear wheels point to the

northeast and its front wheels point to the northwest. It is about as dangerous to the lives and limbs of the firemen who serve on it as could be imagined. Knowing it is dangerous, Chief Miller, we understand, does not allow it to go to fires unless it is absolutely necessary. What a joke this situation makes of the efforts of the Commercial club to obtain lower insurance rates. The water works company is persuaded to expend thousands of dollars on a new main to provide additional fire protection. The city can not afford to own a good ladder truck it does practically without any such fire fighting apparatus.

olists to receive arms and preventing the rebels from being treated likewise. That it is better policy than allowing both sides to receive all the munitions of war they can pay for, the Palladium doubts. The present policy is very liable to result in the present fighting in Mexico degenerating into guerrilla warfare through lack of proper fighting material on the part of both factions. The Palladium believes it would be better to let both sides have all the war munitions they can get and then let them fight it out. It would mean larger scale fighting and one side or the

other would be a decisive winner in a much shorter time.

THE PENROSE RESOLUTION.

The Farmer and Protection. Mark Sullivan says in Collier's : "From many sides come signs of a fundamentally changing point of view. These words were printed as an address of C. B. Kegley, master of the Washington State Grange, in the 'Western Farmer' of Spokane, Wash.: 'Make no mistake we are face to face with the entire removal of the protective tariff from farm products. In my judgment, there is no scape from this conclusion, and the thing for us to do is to meet the issue fairly and squarely. 4 As a system, protection is doomed. If we, as farmers, stand for it, we shall lose our share, and the public believing that.it has secured relief from the burden of living cost, will stop there, causing whatever of loss occurs to fall upon the farmer. Consequently the business-like course open is for the farmer to fight, not to continue the system, but to smash it! Fight, not to hold his own questionable benefits of tariff on grain and live stock and wool, but to strip the coat of privilege off from the back of every business engaged in supplying the necessaries of life. . . . The time to cure the whole diseased system has come and the proper medicine is the axe. . . . Let us stand steadfast to this and appeal to the farmers everywhere to join with us and wipe every tariff privilege off the statute books now and forever.' If this is correct, a good many Senators

have been wasting time at Washington in their

defense of protection for the embattled farmer."

One hardly knows whether to laugh at the naivete, to grieve at the ignorance, or to grow angry at the political chicanery of a United States senator who could include in a resolution such a statement as did Senator Penrose in hi3 proposal before the senate to send United States troops to Mexico. After "resoluting" for the money and concerning the Monroe doctrine, the soldiers and a few other things, Senator Penrose's resolution reads: "It Is hereby declared that such employment of United States troops for the protection of the lives and property of American citizens is not

made with any intent that such policing and protection shall be construed as an act of hostility or unfriendliness toward the Mexican nation." And the senator followed his resolution up with a statement that he was not seeking to embarrass the president or to play politics in any way! As a matter of fact, sending troops of any kind into Mexico, for any purpose whatever, would be but the application of a match to gunpowder, so far as as the results would be concerned. Let any one imagine what our feelings would be if Japan were to send troops to California to protect her citizens. No matter what Japan's protestations might be, we would interpret her action as hostile. So it is in Mexico. If Senator Penrose actually believes that the United States ought to intervene in Mexico, let him say so, and have the message fought out fairly on the floor of congress, with all the light that President Wilson and the department of state can throw on the situation, but don't let us have any bush-beating reasons assigned for the proposal. As well ask an old hen to sit still while she has the "pip" pulled off her tongue as expect hot-blooded Mexicans, in the present strained relations between that country and the United States, to accept peaceably the establishing of a constabulary of United States troops within their borders. Milwaukee Journal.

POOR MAN

Who built the vacant seashells on the shore, In shapes and forms ineffable, and tinged With elfin colors. 'Gainst the ear they roar Strange anthems telling days departed. Fringed And winged and fluted, delicate within. O'erlaid with armor beaten by the sea, They tell of creatures battling hard to win Awhile their chosen way like you and me. The surges lift their notes in higher strains And these, still leaping, blend with notes so high That list'ning gives the human soul such pain As artists feel when half-born visions die. But list'ning well I gather sweeter tones, In lowly moods when life perhaps began; For sympathetic notes in ocean moans Are singing lullaby for man, poor man. Dr. Beede.

POINTED PARAGRAPHS

GROUND FOR IMPEACHMENT. Toledo Blade.

Mr. Glynn, who is or Is not governor of New York, might explain to the public how he happened to assume

that patent medicine attitude when he had his picture taken.

Progressive Legislation. California, one of the greatest states of the union whose affairs are administered by the Pro

gressive party, is enjoying the advantages of the most advanced legislation ever enacted in the interests of the people. Under the leadership of Governor Hiram Johnson and a Progressive majority in the legislature there were passed at the last session of the California legislature such progressive economic and social laws as: An act providing for the fixing of a minimum wage for women. An extension of the women's 8-hour law. A mothers' pension act. An act making oil pipe lines common carriers. A law correcting defects in the child labor

code. Prison reform measures. A workmen's compensation insurance law. A law penalizing unfair competitive methods in business. An act appropriating money for the distribution of free text books. A law creating a legislative reference bureau. A civil service act applying to the three thousand state employes. This is a program of constructs e reform and California and its fighting governor are to be congratulated upon its attainment. Considering Indiana's plight, the inefficiency and crokedness of its politics and politicians, Horace Greeley's famous saying, "Go West, young man, go West," takes on a new meaning. Our farthest Western state easily leads in legislation that is for all the people and not for the crooked few. Non-Effective Equality. According to morning press reports President Wilson is preparing to stop the discrimination between Mexican insurgents and the Huerta forces

by placing an embargo on the further shipments

of arms and ammunition to the latter. This action will re-establish equality between the two warring Mexican factions. It is better than allowing the old condition to continue that is, permitting the Huerta monop-

UN FATHOMABLE. St. Paul Dispactch. Among the mysteries unfathomable are why a man wants to wear side whiskers and why a city wants to hold a world's fair.

MINIMUM-WAGE SOLUTION. New York World. That many Kansas City girls receive less than $6 a week while farm hands get $2 a day, with fried chicken, ice cream and automobile rides into the bargain, suggests the need of an inquiry a,s to why some of the girls do not marry farm hands.

CHANCE TO BEGIN RIGHT AT HOME. Washington Star. A great many members of congress have ideas about how newspepers should be edited, but they have never been able to get together and make the dear old Record much of a popular success.

DOESN'T OFTEN EVEN TRY. Chicago News. New York is to be congratulated not only upon the good government it is attempting to get, but upon the attempt.

AFFECTED BY THE HEAT. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. We take it that the melon season is over in the express business.

HONEY WITH THE GALL. Cleveland Plain Dealer. It was so hot in an Ohio town the other day that it set fire to a man's whiskers. The terrible weather has its good points, after all.

ON GIVING WAT.

Deprived by death of bis dearly be-; loved wife and son. a New York man' gave pubiie notice in the newspapers of his loss. The names are changed. , for the man's grief is and should be j

sacred. This is how bis advertisement read: "Brainerd Suddenly, the light of tny life. George F. Brainerd, Jr. My sorrow no one knows. My hope is in the Lord and that I soon will be with my boy and bis mother, who has gone before. Life has no more inducement for me. His father. George F. Brain erd. Sr." The address followed. The newspaper account of Bralnerd's bereavement told of the death of the wife and mother four years ago. Dying:, she left the son to h!s father's tenderest care. The little fellow was then three years old. "I am going to leave you both." sighed the dying woman. "Watch over him. care for him. love him as you have loved me. I can ask no more." Then came four years of careful watchfulness over the boy. of pride in his growth, of love in cherisLiina him for the sake of the loved one gone before. But the lad ran in front of n swiftly moving vehicle and was killed. Pity the grief of the husband and father. But condemn his despair. If he really felt that life held no more inducements for him, as he told the world, in evidently heartfelt sorrow, all the more reason for his living for others. For surely the man who holds that life can give him nothing can use that life for others. While there were orphan girls and boys to help, poor women to be aided in the struggle for the means of livelihood, outcast men to be reached with the words of hope and sympathy, if not with material aid. surely Brainerd could have found some adequate outlet for the love that was in his heart. lie had felt the hand of sore affliction fall heavily on his own shoulder. As a thinking man. he knew that It rested on others as well. Why not help to lift it from them? In the lifting he could have fonnd surcease of his own sorrow, a lighten

ing of his own burdens. lie could have ! imitated the Master, who said nineteen

centuries ago: "Come unto me. all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

PHOTOGRAPH OF RUSSELL NESBIT, EVELYN THAW'S YOUNG SON. NEW YORK. Aug. 26. Acord-iug to a friend who has studied Russell Nesbit, the three-year-old son of Kvelyn Xesbit, whose father she alleges is Harry Thaw, the resemblance between the youngster and the escaped slayer of Stanford White, is remarkable. Thaw has denied that he is the father of the child. The boy is said to resemble his father in facial appearance to a marked degree. "He has the same staring eyes, set wide apart, and the oval face." said the friend. "And another thing. Russell is subject to fits of uncontrollable temper such as caused Harry Thawto kill White. The little fellow rants around, stamping his fot, kicking things about and even tearing his hair when things do not quite please him."
