Government Has Made No
Move to Send Men to

BEEN CHANGED TO MEET RE-

government meat inspectors TO this
city to take charge of the local situa-
ton. but from the number of inquir-
les it has made in regard to the local
situation in all it's details, there is
room for the opinion that the gum

butchers is in a way having its effects.

COUNCIL VACANCY
WILL Be FILLED
Special Meeting of the City
Council Has Been Called
For Tonight.
ARE SEVERAL CANDIDATES.
At THE REGULAR MEETING 1T is
PROBABLE THE TRACTION
QUESTION WILL BE WRESTLEO
WITH.

There will be special council meet
ing this evening after the regular ses'
sion at which time the city fathers
will select a councilman from the
Eighth ward. which was formed at the
last council meeting. 1t is expected
that there will be a large delegation
of Fairyiew residents at the meeting
TO back their favorites for the office
1t is stated that there are four or
five candidates for this office, the
most prominent of whom are Z. e
Smith, who was defeated for council
man-at-large at the last city election;
John Burdsell, a we'll known carpen-
ter. and Elmer C. Towle, promi'
nent mechanic. All of these candl-
dates have been campaigning hard
among the councilmen and at the pres
emf time it is hard to pick the WIN
ner. 1t is almost certain that one OF
these three men will be chosen.
At the regular council meeting it is
very probable that the traction ques-
ton will be wrestled with. 1t is pro-
bable that an ordinance prohibiting
the operation of any class of interur-
ban cars over Main street Will be IN
troduced and passed under suspension
of the rules. The councilmen are OF
the opinion that this drastic action is
necessary to bring the traction peo-
ple to the terms of the city and they
also know that the people of Rich
mond would back them up in such an
action.

Speaking truth is like writing falr
and comes only by practice. II is less
a matter OF will than of habit, and
doubt if any occasion can be trivial
which permits the practice and forma-
ton of such habit To speak and act
truth with constancy and precision is
nearly as difficult and perhaps as meri
torious as TO speak il under intimida-

thought how many men there are, as |

fortune or life for one who could hold
it at the cost of little daily trouble
