ference of 24 cents a foot between North Seventh and North E? Would not the idea of rejecting

Bome of those bids once in a while have resulted in securing a uniform charpe for uniform work? If Mayor Zimmerman feels justified In honoring the public with an explanation to these discrepancies, I would respectfully ask that he further enlighten us as to why the cost of paving North E street should cost $1.94 per foot and North Seventh street $1.70? If the normal cost of paving a street is $1.70, presumably the street car track, necessitating additional work, raises the cost thereof the 24 centB; that being the case, why is the property owner on that street compelled to pay 24 cents a foot more for that Improvement, caused by a street car track in which he is not interested to the value of one penny? Whatever may be the additional coBt, should it not be charged to the parties owning the track? Robbins' Action is Pleasing. I am glad to note that Mr. Robbins, in his declaration of principles, recognizes the necessity of taking the people into his confidence, to the end that the "city government should be brought as near to the people as possible," and the questions which affect their welfare, worked out in a careful and systematic manner, made possible by a mutual exchange of ideas. That is a strictly Progressive ideal, and the best possible preventative to special privileges, it constitutes the finger post pointing the way to the haven of a square deal. The voters of Richmond would do well to compare the aspirations and incentives of Mr. Robbins with that of a very significant part of Mayor Zimmerman's strength, headed by Mr. Richardson, who urges united support of the present mayor, that more men of his race might be placed on the city's payroll. A Tocsin of Danger. Such an expression should be accepted as the tocsin of danger, not because of the possibility of colored men

being on the payroll of the city, for if such men are found, who could with efficiency fill the position, the color should not be an embargo to their employment. The danger lays in recognizing possible personal aggrandizement as being above the general welfare of the city. I am hoping Mr. Richardson was just guilty of the mistake of saying something, in the warmth of his eloquence, that is not a true expression of his heart. True loyalty is not base upon perBonal gain, and any citizen who will barter the welfare of his city for a measly mess of salted pottage, is entitled to disfranchisement and the privileges of citizenship should be denied him. Any candidate that secures his election on promises, encouraging to such expressions, shows plainly that his

CHICAGO, Oct. IS. -Half the tax revenue of the state of Illinois now comes from the imposing assessment roll of Cook county, and one-fourth of the total assessment roll lies within

the limits of Chicago. The county's taxable property now exceeds three billion dollars by $159,772,740. For sixteen years the state board of equalization has not raised or lowered the

ponderous totals of the Cook county

schedule but a sharp advance in the values of Chicago property was shown by the tax schedules, 4.1 per cent, while the year previous had also shown an advance of 1.8 per cent, confirming the judgment of a vast number of persons who have investigated in city property or mortgages during recent years. Great impetus has been given to this investing by the adoption of first mortgage real estate bonds by which the huge mortgages that financed skyscrapers or apartment houses, are split up into comparatively small parts, even as small as $100, each bond being a fractional part of the big first mortgage. A recent summary of facts about this innovation, made by S. W. Straus and Co., showed that many millions have been invested by that .means in the great array of new buildings by which and because of which the assessment roll of Cook county has been so sharply advanced. In July, 1836, Hiram Pearson, afterwards governor of Iowa, bought for $410 a piece of land, one city block, which now has a value of $12,-000,000.

Non-support, drunkenness and cruel and inhuman treatment constitute the charges in a complaint for 'divorce, filed in circuit court today by Clara B. Wright against Leroy C. Wright. The

plaintiff alleges that her husband has . refused to support her for two years, i They were married in 1910. She also charges that he accused her, in the presence of other persons, of intimacy with other men, and that he beat and choked her. It is also alleged that she was called vile names by the defend-, ant.

Mrs. Sillithing "1 think Jack's mean. I was reading about a man out west who bartered his wife for a horse and I said, 'You wouldn't swap me for a horse, would you, darling?' and he said, 'Of course not, but I'd hate to have any one tempt me with a good motorcar.' Do you suppose he meant it?" Anty Drudge "Of course he didn't mean it, and what do you mean with your washing piled around you this way at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a heavy boiler on the stove and your kitchen all heated up? It's plain to be seen you don't use Fels-Naptha Soap in cool or lukewarm water." Cool or lukewarm water is the only thing FelsNaptha Soap nefcds to do your work for you. It doesn't-need your strength nortime; it. doesn't need a hot fire, nor hard rubbing. Clothes washed with FelsNaptha do not have to be boiled.

CATCH TO REACH $2,000,000 MARK EDMONTON, Alta., Oct. 16. John C. Knott, an employe of the Hudson's Bay Trading company, who has been stationed in the north country on the fringe of the Arctic circle the last 28 years, has come to Edmonton to visit friends of his boyhood days and get into touch, as he puts it, with modern commercial and industrial methods. Kdmonton, now a city of 70,000 population, had less than 50 when Knott came through here from the east in 1878. Where large herds of buffalo broke the trails in those days he found paved streets and boulevards, lined with substantial business houses and pretty homes. The Red river ox cart and dog teams have given way to high power touring cars, spanking teams and electrically propelled street cars of the latest models, and the Saskatchewan river, formerly forded or crossed by rope ferry, is now spanned

i by structures of steel, concrete and j stone. The pioneer from the silent

north reports that the rur eaten tnis year will reach the $2,000,000 mark.

Richmond nurses are attending the

annual meeting of the Indiana State Nurses' association, which is in session at the Deaconess Hospital. Indianapolis. Among the speakers of the convention is Miss D. Elva Mills, resident nurse of Earlham college. She spoke at length on the subject, "Questions Concerning Superintendents of Training School," in which she talked concerning the home training that best fits a young woman to enter the profession. She laid great stress on that feature of the qualification for entrance to a training school. She also emphasized the necessity for proper educational qualifications for the pupil nurse, and urged maintaining a

Most Dangerous of Minor Ailments. Of the minor ailments a cold is by far the most dangerous, not in Itself, but the serious diseases it so often leads to. Pneumonia and consumption always start with a cold. When you have a cold you are much more likely to contract the infectious diseases such as diphtheria, scarlet fever and whooping cough. Colds are easily cured, in fact. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is famous for its cures of this most common ailment, and is pleasant and safe to take. Why take such desparate chances when so reliable and trustworthy a medicine may be obtained for a quarter. For sale by all dealers. (Advertisement)
