Curing the City of the Smoke Habit The smoke research department of the University of Pittsburg has recently issued a bulletin showing what that town pays for its privilege of living under a perpetual cloud of gloom. As a whole the sum totals up to almost $10,000,000, an average of about $20 to every individual. Wholesale and retail stores are heaviest losers through ruined merchandise, extra precautions and cleaning, and artificial lighting. Each year Pittsburg merchants must pay a tribute of $3,675,000 to the inefficiency of the city's manufacturers and engineers. Private households come next, losing heavily in paint deterioration, tin and metal roof decay, greased up wall paper, lace curtain damages, and artificial lighting. Their tax is $2,332,000 yearly. After the citizen has left his household he must expose his clothing to the nuisance, a privilege which costs him every year, $2,250,000.

But the man who makes the smoke also comeJ

in for a heavy fine. His loss consists of the fuel that flies out unconsumed, aggregating a yearly expenditure of $1,520,000. Public buildings, such as the post-office, hospitals and hotels suffer to the tune of about $167,000. But this does not tell the whole story of Pittsburg's losses. There are many business concerns and manufacturers who couldn't make a profit in a smoky town because of the rapid deterioration of their stock. In that way Pittsburg suffers a loss through business being sidetracked into Philadelphia or some other community. The smoke nuisance ties up with the nation's conservation problem. Whenever our coal supply runs out we may build a tomb for our civilization for that is erected on coal. And smoke is simply a form of coal which is wholly wasted. It is plain, therefore, that the nation must be losing heavily every year through this unnecessary leakage of one of its most precious resources.

Creatures of the State Our forefathers fought for self government and representation. They waded bare-foot through the snow for it, bled for it, and died for it. And we, their children submit to taxation without representation every day in our lives. That is, if we live in a city. A city is a community within itself, faces its own peculiarly local problems of development, government, administration and control. No two municipalities confront quite the same conditions, need quite the same form of organization, or have quite the same resources. Richmond has its own needs as peculiar to itself and as different from New Albany's as the state of Alabama differs from the state of Wisconsin. The assembly of Wisconsin would never dream of being able to administer the affairs of Alabama.

But an assembly of agriculturists and mis

cellaneous men gathered from the various parts

of Indiana do dream of being able to administer

the affairs of Richmond. They determine what officials and how many of each we may have, what we must pay them, how long they may

hold office, whether they shall be elected or ap

pointed, how they may conduct their office and what they are to do.

A more flagrant piece of usurpation of pow

er could not be imagined. It makes the city a corporation that is merely the creature of the state legislature. It places the urgent business and political needs of this community under the thumb of some persons who may never have seen

Richmond. It destroys that for which the Unit

ed States stands: self government.

There are some matters in each city over

which the state must have jurisdiction just as

there are matters in each state over which the

federal government must have jurisdiction. No body has a right to complain about that but ev

erybody has a duty to complain about the state

legislature having jurisdiction over problems that are peculiarly and purely local. It is this state control of city governments which is the fruitful cause of so much municipal corruption and petty graft. The state legisla

ture, which is almost always the machine in control of a dominant political party, ties on more

and more offices to each municipal government in order that faithful henchmen over the state

may find berths. By controlling local adminis

tration through legislatures a political despotism may consistently and perpetually use the city and its treasury as a pension system for favorites. Our own form of administration is an example of this. Where is there" the man who can find a reason for our having three paid members

of the board of works, each of whom must devote all his time to the office and receive $1,200 per year? Why do we need twelve councilmen

to do for Richmond what in many of the largest cities three or four men are doing? and why do we need a three-headed board of health when the health officer himself is not supposed to devote but a fraction of his time to the office? The one answer to these questions is that the state legislatures are the creatures of political parties and that it is to the interest of these parties to have as many offices available as possible since it places a larger working force behind the party and furnishes that many more plums to the faithful. But even if legislatures were always as honest as the sun and as uncontrolled, the mere growth of cities would have brought on misgovernment and corruption under the present system of state control. Modern industrialism is rapidly massing population about industrial centers. An ever increasing percentage of persons are moving inside the corporate limits of cities. This gives rise to new problems every year and means that a city government must be continually readjusted to its ever changing needs. But how can this be when that government is merely the creature of a body of out-of-town men, unacquainted with a city's conditions, who meet every other year for a fewmonths ? This control of a city by forces outside itself is the death of municipal patriotism of which we are now so badly in need. It causes men to lose interest in their own community and to despair of improving the injustices and conditions about their own homes. When a group of men are thwarted by a foreign legislature from making improvements in their own neighborhoods they are not likely to have much heart for all the work of municipal reform which is now so badly needed. It is to be strenuously hoped and prayed for that our next assembly wilf give Indiana a new constitution which will grant to every city what every city must have home rule.

Three Famous White House Brides

ST JAtA Vtfc n i f Afc?- i&-'ilM$r III vV-tr.v - J 1

LAST WHITE HOUSE BRIDE. Mrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth. daughter of former President Roose-

Ivelt, was the last 'white house bride, land married Congressman Nicholas j Longworth in the east room on February 17, 1906. She probably was the

most popular white house bride. This picture was made shortly after she was married.

Reforming the Republican Party Everything is being reformed these days. The whole world is making a general overhauling of its belongings and setting everything to rights. Everybody is reforming himself in order to keep up with the times. Not to reform is out of date. Has not the Grand Old Party joined this procession? Has it not employed the mop, and the broom, and alcohol, and sapolio, and sandpaper on itself? Consider the many solemn proclamations of its great chiefs! Have they not one and all declared themselves rid of the old stand-pat incrustations? the Big Business sedimentation? the Wall Street defamation? Yes verily. Even Elihu Root has joined in the chorus. Mr. Crane scrubs hard. Prof. Taft is even flirting with woman suffrage. And all the old boys flourish the scrub-brush, the water bucket and the soap suds. Return unto us ! they cry unto their erstwhile comrades, the Bull Moosers. We have freed our skirts of contamination, we are once more wholesome and good company. Their cries of remorse, of vociferous, loud confessions, of labored resolutions rise to high heaven. And now the Republican party of New York has at last filed its record of campaign expenses with the New York secretary of state. Among the lists of hot-headed, revolutionary radicals and reformers therein numbered appear such names as these before the heaviest contributions: John Pierpont Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, the two Rockefellers, W. H. Taft, etc. Does not this prove that the Republican Party has completely freed itself from the domination of Wall Street, from the old-fashioned reactionary persons who side-tracked Lincoln's party into the swamps !

FORMER MRS. GROVER CLEVELAND ABOUT THE TIME OF HER MARRIAGE. Mrs. Thomas J. Preston, who before her marriage to Mr. Preston a short time ago. was the widow of President Cleveland, was the eleventh white house bride. As Miss Frances Folsom she married President Cleveland in the east room on June 2, lbti.

THIRTEENTH WHITE HOUSE BRIDE. Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, the daughter of the President and Mrs Woodrow Wilson, will be the thirteenth white house bride when she marries Francis H -Sare of New York

there November 2.V The number thirteen is generally regarded as unlucky. but evidently the president's family'

regard it otherwise.

SOMEP'N COMMON-LIKE

Somep'n 'at's common and good And plain and easy understood; Somep'n 'at folks like me and you Kin understand and relish, too, And find some sermint in 'at hits The spot and sticks and benefits. We don't need nothin' extry fine; 'Cause take the run o' minds like mine, And we'll go more on good horse sense Than all your flowery eloquence; And we'll jedge best of honest acts By nature's statement of the facts. So when you're wantin' to express Your misery or happiness. Er anything 'ats wuth the time O' telling In plain talk or rhyme. Jest sort o' let your subject run As ef the Lord was listenun. James Whitcomb Rilev.

I POINTED PARAGRAPHS i ESTIMATE OF PLAIN WILLIAM. Topeka Capital. We yesterday forecast the election of Sulzer. The result was inevitable from the first. The honest, sincere man often is defeated, but the cheapskate who has mastered the art of playing to the gallery nearly always is elected.

NOTHING SPECIAL AGAINST HIM. Philadelphia Public Ledger. The notice to Huerta seems to be a mild but positive order that he lay down his hand, that he ask for no new cards and that he leave the game. Otherwise he is a real gentleman who may aid his health by a trip to a foreign land.

AT LEAST NOT IN A GIVEN TIME. Philadelphia Inquirer. A returned missionary says that $1,000 000 would convert Turkey to Christianity but we can scarcely believe that anyone undertaking the work would guarantee the job.

Grand Opera Company. A corps of distinguished artists has been selected for the tour of "Cavalleria Rusticanna" and "Salome" by the American Grand Opera Company. lime. Norwood has been specially engaged for the vocally gorgeous title role of Suntuzza in "Cavalleria Rusticana." Mme. Norwood created the prima donna roles in three of Puccini's operas, "La Tosca," "La Boheme" and "Madame Butterfly," being selected by Puccini himself for the title roles. She is purely an American artist, having obtained her musical education in America. Mme. Norwood has long held a high place among American singers, due to her engagements for several seasons with the leading operatic organizations in this country, and her instantaneous success was quickly heralded over the world and has reached the highest pinnacle and the crowning triumph of her career. Mile. Johanna Kristoffy, prima donna soprano from the Royai Opera at Vienna, posseses a voice of wonderful range, it can pass from G to upper E. She has been selected to plat "Salome" in Massenet's opera of that name, a most difficult role. When the Royal Opera decided to put "Salome" into rehearsal, they found they had no artist capable of playing this role." Later, however, news of Kristoffy's great success as "Thias" reached Vienna, and after hearing her sing, were so impressed by the quality of her voice and splendid dramatic capabilities that they immediately engaged her to play-the part of "Salome." In this part she has established a world-wide reputation, adding another triumph to her enviable record. Thus it happened that "Salome" was not given in Vienna until tw-o seasons ago. That artistic conductor, Herr Joseph

RUN-DOWN WOMEN

Women Who Get Dizzy. Every woman who is troubled with fainting and dizzy spells, backache, headache, weakness, debility, constipation or kidney troubles should use Electric P.itters. They give relief when nothing else will, improve the health, adding strength and vigor from the first dose. Mrs. Laura Gaines of Avoca, La., says: "Four doctors had given me up, and my children and all my friends were looking for me to die, when my son insisted that I use Electric Bitters. I did so. and they have done me a world of good." Just try them. 50c and $1. Recommended by A. G. Luken & Co. (Advertisement)

Don't Wait for the Fatal Stages of Kidney Illness. Profit By Richmond People's Experience. Occasionally attacks of backache, lr-

spells are frequent symptoms of kidney disoredrs. It's an f ror to neglect these ills. The attacks may pass off for a time but generally return with greater intensity. Don't d lay a min- : ute.

Find Health in a Simple Tonic. How many women do you know who are perfectly well, strong and healthy as a woman should be? They may not be sick enoueh to lie in bed but they are run-down, thin, nervous, tired and devitalized. Women are so active nowadays, and so much is expected of them, that they constantly overdo and suffer from headache, backache, nervousness and kindred Ills. Such women need Yinol. our delicious cod liver and iron tonic without oil which will create an appetite, tone up the digestive organs, make pure blood and create strength. Mrs. Walter Price. Bi'.oxi, Miss., says: "I was in a run-down condition for months. I had taken several medicines but they seemed to do me no good. Finally Vino! was recommended, and from the first bottle I began to improve until I am strong and well as ever." Try a bottle of Yinol with The understanding that your money will be returned if it does not help you. Leo H. Fihe. druggist, Richmond. Ind. P. S. For pimples and blotches try our Saxo Salve.
