that being so, Theodore Roosevelt

tinued but at the same time the
sale has been remarkable. We are
surprised at the large number of peo-
pie who have signified their intention
tof building houses on their lots just
as soon as possible. OF course a large
part of the people buying lots do so
from an investment but they could
do no better as our addition is des-
tined to be one of the prettiest places
in Richmond.
I'VE have purchased about three
hundred maple trees which we intend
to put out and also we have been
making preparations for graveling the
streets and sidewalks. Owing to the
present bad weather we have been
hindered in the construction of the
streets and walks"
The methods the Mccain Realty Co.
use in advertising their addition, and
the manner in which they are improv-
ing it, are entirely new to real es-
tate men in this city. They are not
only putting in good streets and side
walks but are planting shade trees.
Heretofore real estate companies
opening up plats in Richmond and
surrounding towns, simply sell the
lots with no consideration for the
buyers comforts.
One of the strong features in the
contracts made by the company when
lot is sold, is the promise that if
payments are up, within thirty days
of the time they are due, and the pur
chaser of the lot should die, the heirs
get the lot without further payments.
All that is required in this clause is
that the first five dollars be paid.
Although the company is at pres
ent handicapped by the cold and disa-
greeable weather it is going ahead
with the work and every day many
lots are sold.

THE TASK NOT DIFFICULT.

in speaking of the address which
the Hon. Joseph G.. Cannon made al
Chicago a few nights ago, the Chicago
Inter Ocean says:
Mr. Cannon went on to mention the
great problems of the past. There was
the achievement of independence
the attainment of our existence as a
nation. There was the establishment
of national government of the people
by the people, and for the people
the first whole hearted effort since
truth that the average man can be
trusted to govern himself-can be
safely left to his conscience and his
God to provide wisely for His own
and the social welfare.
Then there was the enormous prob
lem of preserving the Union-of hold
ing fast all its good and wiping out
its inherited evil-of making the
.self-evident truths" that "all men are
created equal" and ARE endowed by
their Creator with certain alienable
rights" true not only of white men
but of black men as well, by abolish
ing seryile labor and the immemorial
custom of it, notwithstanding the in
terests, and even religious beliefs
which held it to be right and indis-
pensable.
Then came the problem of honesty
paying the cost of saving the Union
and of recognizing the shattered To-
cal government of the South. recon
structing the social and political in
situations of fifteen states lately in
rebellion. and bringing their people
back to that sincere and instinctively
loyalty to the nation as a whole which
now-thank God-prevails every
where throughout the domains of the
republic.
With less ability-with smaller
material resources and less knowl-
edge and experience to guide them
'-our fathers" as Speaker Cannon tru-
ly said. disposed of the perplexities
which rose up TO trouble them" And
so shall we dispose-so we are dis
posing-of our smaller problems.
For what are they Aside from
those sought to be raised by foolish
or lazy persons who deny the gospel
of individual effort, the inheritance of
equal opportunity, the divine right of
liberty under the law" what are
they?
Why, that railway managers, who
ought to render their service on
equal terms TO all, often render it Sc
cretly upon more favorable terms TO
the big producers than to the smaller
one. That aud the further problem

Mrs. Goldie Johnson, of Cambridge
City, renowned an agreement she
previously had made to permit her
baby daughter to be adopted by Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Langdon, also of
Cambridge City. The formal surren-
der of the child by legal procedure
was to have taken place yesterday but
Mrs. Johnson could not at the final
moment give up her baby and Judge
Fox upheld her in her desire to not
be separated from it. The scene was
touching.
