PEOPLE HAVE Diff
GUILTY IN REALIZING THE SIT
UATIoN-PARTlAL LIST OF THE
WORKERS.

Monday the canvassers who are to
held meeIlng ana were assigned
their territory. On Wednesday the
work of soliciting will begin and will
be continued until finished. In this
land of plenty it is hard to compre-
bend the situation in China, Where
fifteen millions of people are starving
on account of foods. They will need
help for year at least and so the
people of Richmond are asked, out of
their abundance, to show their unset
fish love to and practical sympathy
for their fellow men. Ten cents a day
will save small family. Twenty
cents will save life for week. The
dollar will save a family of five for a
week. Five dollars will save five lives
for month. Ten dollars may keep a
family over the pinch. One hundred
dollars will save a small community.

Engineers and Firemen Are Again on
Duty.

The Richmond division of the Penn.
syIvania now has more engineers and
firemen at its service than in several
weeks, owing to the fact that practi-
cally all of them have recovered from
illness generally prevalent. The ill
ness prevailed among the freight en-
gineers and firemen more than it did
among passenger enginemen. The
pre- sent situation is a welcome one to

A SECOND THOUGHT,

1t appears that most of us made a
mistake, after all, in believing Secre-
tary Taft's speech at Columbus an able
and statesmanlike address. It seems
that we were fooled and that it does
not measure up to the proper stand
ard in statesman ship. We have the
word of the Kansas City Journal for it,
1.-The sober second thought of the
people, says the Journal in concIud-
ing it's comments on the speech, will
undoubtedly be that Judge Taft has
not, as a candidate, measured up to
the stature OF his personality and
achievements as a statesman and en-
publicist"
The people apparently have not yet
got around to their sober second
thought" They still have an idea
that it was great speech, measuring
up to just the standard they desire
in a presidential candidate, and that
it was also in keeping with Secretary
Taft's achievements as a statesman. 1t
will be a source of regret to the people
to find they have been mistaken.
The Kansas City Journal also points
out that IL this speech of Secretary
Taft's sis to be the Republican plat
form next year, and IL Mr.. Bryan
will be greater difficulty than ever in
telling which is which and extreme
care must be taken to print the cap
ton of the ticktes in bold faced type"
There may be something in that In
fact, it is quite likely that If Secre-
tary Taft is the Republican presi-
Dental nominee, on platform de-
claring for the strict regulation of
the trusts, the punishment of the law
breakers. and for tariff revision-if
Taft is the nominee on this kind of a
platform it is likely that many thou
sands of Democrats will overlook their
own ticket and vote for him, just as
they voted for Roosevelt in 1904.
Wall street, too, appears to fear the
two tickets will be too much alike un-
der those circumstances, in which
event it would be left out in the cold
with no party to support and none to
expect favors from. But that isn't
worrying the people.

tricts. and aided materially by the coun-
try clergy, it has made itself felt in ev-
cry portion of the state, until in all but
a bakers dozen of the counties temper
ance now rules. Even in the cities the
temperance influence is active. and the
question is entering into this years
campaign for the election of a state
ticket. Governor Beckham, who is
candidate for the United States senate.
and is the power behind the whole DEM
ocratic ticket, is in strong sympathy
with the temperance program, and in
the matter of Sunday closing is bring
ing the saloon men to book.
"All of this goes to hearten the men
who insist that prohibition, and not
local option, is the only cure for the
whisky evil, and they are forecasting a
campaign for the extreme policy Such
q battle will not be as easily won in
Kentucky as it has been in Georgia, be-
cause of the enormous investments that
are affected, but the present swelling
temperance tide may be carried that far
under q magnetic leadership.
THE temperature of hades is fixed,
and will continue available for purposes
of illustration and comparison, but pro-
hibition in Kentucky is by no means an
impossibility.'

GOVENOR HOCHrs ACTToN.

In his letter to the state board of rail-
road commissioners, Governor Hoch has
checked up to that body the duty of
acting on the two-cent fare question.
There can no longer be any evasion OF
the matter. The board must either con-
sent to act or fatty refuse to do so.
1t may plead that no formal complaint
has been filed before it. but any incli-
nation on the boards part to take ac-
ton will doubtless speedily bring the
necessary formal complaint.
One member of the board Mr.. Ryan,
has expressed his desire to take up the
two-cent fare question and go into its
merits Immediately, but the other mem
bers have apparently overruled him
with the intent of waiting until some
indefinite future time-months. or pos
sibly years-until the issue in other
states has run the ganut of the courts.
Governor Hoch has done the proper
thing in thus checking the matter
sQuarely up to the board before taking
any other action. 1t is the boards duty
to go into this matter. There is no
reason why the legislature should be
called together in special session to act
unless the board refuses to do its duty.
Therefore Governor Hoch has taken the
proper course in trying to ascertain the
boards attitude.
The railroads are entitled to a fair
hearing in the matter, and so are the
people. And the people are entitled to
just as vigorous a presentation of their
side as are the railroads. If Mr..
Gratan, the state railroad attorney,
has not sufficient time or information
to prosecute the case vigorously, very
likely Attorney General Jackson will
undertake it if called upon. Mr.. Jack
son has his hands tolerab1y full, but he
acts like a man who is willing to do a
little more if it is in his line of duty |
20 the public.
The plea that the question has never
been formally before the board will |
not answer. 1t has been informally be- !
lore it ever since the legislature passed |
he question by with the understanding |
hat it was within the province of the |
abroad board to give it a thorough in
adopting the two-cent |
Mileage book as a temporary compro-I
Mise. OF course, no formal action can |
De taken until a formal complaint is |
lied, but the same agitation that brings |
t to the notice of Governor Hoch also |
brings it before the board. The issue |
hould be determined as quickly as
10Th sides can prepare for it.

KENTUCKY AND PROHIBITION.

What a jolt it would be to those who
love to look upon the wine when it is
red-and not only to look but also to
imbibe-if Kentucky should go prohibit

lucky votes for prohibition was a
phrase once in use to describe a thing
thought to be quite impossible. The lat
ter half of the phrase can no longer be
used to perform this service. Prohfbi-
ton may soon be an issue in Kentucky.
At any rate there is talk of making it
an issue, and temperance sentiment in
this state has grown SO rapidly of late
that such a campaign would stir the
whole commonwealth profoundly In
a pinch prohibition might carry.
The country has been advised of the
changes that in the last decade have
taken place in the Blue Grass state on
this subject. Becoming arrogant by
reason of their wealth and power, the
whisky interests went into politics, and
demanded a voice in the nominating
caucus. and later they put up candidates
and elected them, and then used them
in office for their own ends. They de-
fed. for years with impunity, such laws
as they did not like. The Sunday clos
ing law was a dead letter in all the
cities and towns, and the saloon keepers
had their own way.

this power. but the power has been
broken. The revolt spread slowly, but 1T
