plans in the hands of architects. It is
understood that the site committee

has already secured options on sever
al most desirable properties. but as the
agreements in the main are merely
verbal the committee has been in
structed by the board of directors TO
get the propositions in the most tam
gible shape that the directors may
act upon them, and definitely select a
site. At the present time all manner
of plans and ideas are whirling their
way through the minds of the men on
the building committee aud it is safe
to predict when they are laid before
the architects who will submit plans
for the building, It will be of the best
ever submitted for a building of like
character. With the means that are
in hand for the realization of an ex-
cellent building, the members of the
committee will use every known idea
and means to perfect structure which
will thoroughly answer Richmonds
needs. As there is plenty of room for
grave mistakes in the construction of
Y. NJ. c. A. building. the matter will
be handled with more grave attention
than probably any other building ever
erected in Richmond. The plans will
be examined with more scrutiny while
1t is assured by the personnelle of the
committee which has charge of the
building, that nothing but the very
best for the money will be erected and
accepted. The building committee aD-
pointed by the board of directors last
night is composed of John b. Dougan.

1920 years before the Christ

make, and the referendum gives
them the power to repeal any bad
law that the legislators may place
upon the statute hooks.
AS laws are now made, you and
| may believe exactly alike upon
some questions, but if we belong
to different parties we always vote
for different men to represent lis
and can never work together to
pass the laws we both desire to
see passed. If we had direct
legislation, or the initiative and
referendum, we could belong to
different political parties and
still vote together on any question
upon which we could agree.
Under present methods the
people who want special (egisla-
tion pool their interests, and we
find their representatives in both
parties voting and working for
the same things. They also work
to kill off any legislation which
the people desire. The two par
ties divide up the principals which
the people want made into law.
The republicans put part of them
in their platform and the demo
Gratis adopt the remainder. We
vote for men to represent us and

vote for all the republicans and
you for all the democrats, or vice
versa, and we elect some of each.
When the representatives get
there we find that we have sue
ceeded in electing the men who
represent neither of US, but who
are there to do bidding of their
masters, the trusts and the spe-
cial interest people. They will
make laws for the trusts and for
the special interests, and we will
curse them for doing so, but we
are powerless because we must
wait two years and then run the
same chance of electing men who
will mlsrepresent us. We must
take the law-making power into
our own hands.

DIRECT LEGISLATURE MOVEMENT
SWEEPING THE BODY POuT|C
A Sentiment That Will Not Put Down by a
l~St,
Waive of the Big Stick.

The direct legislation movement
is sweeping over the country,
north, east, south, and west. The
question is being considered in
North Dakota, Washington, Min
nesota, Wisconsin, NJ C h i G n,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersev,
Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts,
Arkansas aud Virginia. The
direct vote system has already
been adopted in Oregon, South
Dakota, Utah, Illinois, Texas,
Nevada and Montana.
The vote in the house in North
Dakota stood "A to Z in favor; In
the state of Washington it was
66 to 26.
Such men as Bryan, La Toilette,
Folk, Hearst, Tom Johnson, Sena,

Governors Adams, Douglas and
Garyin are in favor of it. There
are thousands of other prominent
men " no favor the movement, and
all the Tabor organizations are
pledged to it. Every socialist
dreams about the time when it
will be put into practice, and
every honest man ought to work
for it.
The people who will work
against it are the fellows who want
special legislation and desire the

VALUABLE
ALMANAC.

Two small diaries of George
Washington, with the events
chronicled on the pages of n cheap
almanac in vogue a hundred years
ago, to day sold for $4, 300 at an
auction sale held at Davis q Har-
vey's rooms. They are believed
to have been bought for the j.
Pierpont Morgan collection. The
two almanacs contain the small,
even writing of the father of his
country, which goes into the most
minute details of his life during
the years of IT95 and 1903.
Strange as it may seem, with the
whole country to-day celebrating
the birthday anniversary of Geo.
Washington, in his diaries the
General himself failed to even
make note of the fact that Febrna-
ry % was his birthday.
On February %, 1898, the only
entry refers to the, weather, as
follows: "About one inch of snow
fell last night, mercury 80: morn
ing clear; wind so'-westerly till
10 o'clock, then west by northwest
mercury 23 at night and 50 at
highest. ]"
The almanac used by the great
man in 1895 is more up to date,
containing this printed entry
against February %:
"The birthday of George Wash
|ington."
Beside this entry Washington
simply made small check mark.

School Closing.

On Wednesday last, the follow
ing persons from Calico Ridge,
Mrs. A, F. Skinner and sons
Edward and Lewis, Messrs. John
Mosure, Paul and Harry Neil, and
Miss Irene Barker went to Black
Jack to attend the last day of
school at that place.
Miss Carrie Skinner, of this
place was the teacher of that
school for the last seven months,
and from what we could learn had
given perfect satisfaction to all
concerned. We are certain of
the fact that Miss Skinner put
forth her hest efforts ia behalf Of
this school and she deserves sue
cess.
We arrived at Black Jack at
1890, just as school was dismiss
ed for recess. Recess was held
for about half hour, when the
scholars were called to their studies,
After few day-studles had been
recited, school was dismissed and
all repaired to their seats and We're
greeted by fine dinner, prepared
by the mothers and sisters Of the
scholars. Much credit is due
them for this fine dinner, one the
best we have ever eaten. After
dinner we "Ths Boys" repaired to|

"My trade of late is getting bad;
I'll try another ten inch ad"
If such there be go mark him we'll
For him bank account shall swell,
No angels watch the golden stair
To welcome home the millionaire.
The man who never asks foi trade

Cares for rest than worldly gain
And patronage but gives him pain.
Tread lightly, friends, let no rude sound
Disturb his solitude profound,
Here let him live in calm repose,
Unsought except by men he owes,
And when he dies go plant him deep,
That naught may break his dreamless sleep
Where no rude camor may dspel
The quiet that he loved go well.
And that the world may know its loss
Place on his grave a wreath of moss,
And on the stone above, ''Here lies chump who

Glass Bathtubs.

Glass bathtnbs are being made
in Germany and are said to have
advantages over the metal and
enamel, the principal one being
that they are much cheaper. They
are made in solid piece, and one
can be turned cut complete in
about five minutes.
