rather discouraging effect on the Com
mercial club. They have felt that
they were acting for the best interests
of not only the city but also of the
farmers in trying to land the Libby
plant in Richmond. This plant would
give employment to several hundred
people besides which it would be a
splendid market for the farmers who
raised tomatoes and cdbbages. Tlat
it would be a permanent plant goes
without saying as the firm of Libby,
Mcneil e Libby is one of the strong
est, financially speaking, in the coun-
try 1t is to be hoped that the farmers
around Richmond will give further
thought to this proposition and help
Richmond land the company. Not on
ly will it afford them a good market
for their cabbages and tomatoes but it
will also afford them a good market
for the rest of their produce owing to
the several hundred new employees it
will need In this case what is good
for Richmond is good for the farmers
as they can readily see by little fig
uring.

THE BUILDING SEASON.

The records show this year has not
been as good as last year was as far
as the building of new houses was
concerned and the reason given is the
high price of building material. I'm
doubtedly this is true as the prices of
nearly all material that enters into the
building Of a house have advanced
greatly. But the fact that there was a
falling off in the number of new
houses constructed shows that the
remedy for high prices is in sight. Just
as sure as there were fewer houses
constructed in Richmond the same
condition was true in the majority of
cities of the country and, owing to
this lack of demand, it will probably
be found that the prices of building
material will ease off until the figure
is reached at which people will care
to build again.

GENERAL BOOTHS VISIT.

General Booth, commander-in-chief
of the Salvation army, is again in Am
erica, being in Chicago at present
That Americans have a warm spot in
great reception accorded him when he
arrived in the station at Chicago
Greater crowds could not have turned
out to see the president or some favor
lite general returning victorious from
a war. And General Booth deserves
this splendid attention from Ameri-
cans for he has done as much for
them as any general We ever sent into
battle. General Booth fights on the
battlefield Of humanity and instead of
taking life in his campaigns he tries
to save 1t. His army fights it's battles
in the slums of our great cities among
the submerged tenth" and tries to
make life more worth living for the
unfortunates by teaching them how to
live In the right manner. He has been
condemned by many thoughtless ones
for preaching his thories accompanied
by the music of the drum and tambor-
inc, yet his success proves that this
was the right method to use to reach
the class he aimed to reach. For years
the churches have stood within easy
reach OF these people but they did not
avail themselves of the opportunity to
attend. They didn't want to attend
church. They were perfectly content
ed to live in sin and swill booze and it
took just such an army as General
Booth organized to rout that notion
from their heads. From his great
success it is not hard to see that the
end has justified the means, a fact
that is proven by the crowds that
gather to applaud and respect him.

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.

The season just past has been a
splendid one for public improvements
as can be seen by walk about the
city. Any number of new cement side
walks have been constructed as we'll
as cement cutters and curbs. The
whole aspect of the city is becoming
more uniform and this brushing up
of the city is also having its effect up
on the city's, citizens. Somehow i'm
proving seems to be contagious. All
last spring and during the summer
months while the public improvements
were going on, many citizens were set
an example by the city which they
copied about their houses. Hundreds
of houses received new coats Of paint;
many had additions built to them and
others had the grounds around them
improved by abolishing fences and re-
placing the ground walks with neat
cement walks. These improvements
have all added to the natural beauty
of Richmond and help make it appear
more substantial.

home from Europe, where he spent
several weeks. He visited his par

cially interesting to him in its ancient
art work There he saw the original
manuscript of Matthews gospel. The
galleries and st. Paul's cathedral and
other London points of interest were
visited. London and Copenhagen
were the most interesting places 10
him. At the latter is a great museum
of antiquities, the finest of it's kind
and also a gallery containing a great
collection of Thorwaldsdens sculpture
AL of which delighted the traveller. Mr.

STATISTICS FOR 1906.

According to Poors Manual Of rail
roads for 1907, showing statistics for
1906, there were 222 $50 miles of steam
roads in operation at the close of the
past year, an increase of 5294 miles
for the year 1906. The report shows
that average revenue per ton mile in
1906, was .766 cent, as against 7S4
cent in 1905. The latter comparison
does not support the claim that the
railroads are increasing rates on an
average. The average receipts per
passenger per mile in 1906 were 2O11
cents as against 2.O3S cents in 1908,
yet the average interest rate on bonds
last year was 800 per cent. as against
3.19 per cent for 1905 The average
dividend rate upon all railroad stock
was 1853 per cent as against 3.27 per
cent in 1905. The beginning of this
year found the total funded debt of the
steam roads to be 1851 ,1O7,77S an in
crease for the year of 1925, $40, ST., and
the capital stock on December 81 last
was 81, 1O6, 4OS, $40, an increase for the
year of 1864, 452 ISL, and the total as
sets of all lines were SIT ,534. 3S1 .63333
an increase of $1,241, 5OO,S1O. Accord
ing to the report the roads carried
S15.774,11S passengers during the year,
also 1858, 795, 696 tons of freight one
mile. This made the passenger earn
ings $519,S26,43 freight earnings ST.
65O,313,O2O, and other earnings $685.
21S,O75. The operating expenses, tax
es ETC., when paid, left the roads a sur
plus of $151, 474,773 for the year. While
this annual report shows the roads to
be prosperous, yet when the amount of
capital invested is taken into consider
alton the revenues are lot so large.

JOHN MITCHELL.

Rather bad reports have come out
of Indianapolis concerning the health
Of John Mitchell, the great leader Of
the miners of this country. For some
time past Mr.. Mitchell has not been in
the best Of health, fact that has Civ
en- his friends and co-workers a great
deal Of worry. 1t Is to be hoped that
Mr.. Mitchell will regain his health,
as he is one of the few men the coun-
try cannot afford to lose. A great la
Dor leader and a conservative labor
leader, his administration of the af-
fairs of the United Mine Workers OF
America has been such as to gain for
him the confidence of not only the
members Of his union, but also of his
fellow citizens throughout the United
States. At the time of the great coal
strike several years ago it was John
Mitchell who co-operated with Presi-
dent Roosevelt to bring arbitration
about and end the trouble that was
proving so disastrous to the country at
large. He has always been this kind
of a leader, loyal to his union, but new
ertheless open to reason when strike
is causing widespread suffering over
the country. AS is the case with ev-
cry truly great man, Mr.. Mitchell has
been attacked from within his organi-
cation and several efforts have been
made to dislodge him from power. He
would not be the man he is if he didn't
have enemies. But through it all the
majority Of the union has always been
with him. Bryan and Roosevelt are
great political leaders and have done
great deal for their country and when
they die, especially if they die in the
heighth of their power and ability, the
country will have lost source of in
spiration. And just as this is so in
their case, it is so in the case of John
Mitchell. Such men as he are a source
of inspiration to their fellow country
men and such men at the head of the
great unions are a source of strength
to the whole country, as their leader
ship gives a sense of security and
character that is lacking in too many
other organizations of labor.

FORUM OF The PEOPLE

WAR WITH JAPAN.
Editor Palladium:

Editor Palladium:
Much has been said through the
newspapers recently about war with
Japan and Secretary Taft's visit to
Japan, as it related to making peace
between our country and that brave
little nation, that has become so IA
nous in war, with one Of the great
nations Of the world. The United
States does not want war, neither
does Japan. We are a Christian peo
pie and are sending the gospel OF
peace to that people and why talk OF
war? We preach a gospel of peace
and "glad tidings Of great JOY" tc
the whole earth, and it seems to us
the heighth of inconsistency to even
talk war. We are Christians. The
Japanese are Shintoists. The WORD
Shinto means deity. Hence the Shin
toists believe in and worship Deity
Their faith in that Deity governs
largely their practice, as it should ev
cry believer in supreme being.

Lastly, there is one more though
that I wish to offer here. While it i:
the will of Deity and the aim of al
religionists that all His beloved child
rem On the earth should enjoy peace
and comfort in one accord, many
countries look still with envy ant
hatred toward one another and ap
pear to seek opportunities of making
war under the slightest pretext, witt
no other aim than of wringing on
ransoms Of robbing nation Of it:
lands. Thus. regardless of the abhor
renee of the Heavenly Deity, they on
~ inflict pain and calamity on limo
cent people. Now and here my earn
est wish is this, that the time shoult
come soon when all nations on th'
earth will join their armies and navie
with one accord, guarding the work
rs a whole and thus prevent prepos
ferrous wars with each other" Pure
sentiment could not be uttered by
Christian teacher, and should be TIL
sentiment Of all peoples. There i
only one excuse for war, and that is
self defense, which is the first Law
of nature, but as soon as that caus
has subsidized, the war should cease

AN INCREASE SHOWN,

Columbus, O.-The State Railway
Commission shows that from the re-
ports, of Ohio railways made to it for
the year ending June 80, 1907, the
railroads on the whole showed a net
increase in passenger earnings Of
1882, 2S2.46, as compared with the
year ending June 80, 1906. The Ohio
2-cent fare act went into effect March
10, 1906, so that in comparing the last
year with the former complete 2-cent
fare year is compared with a Scent
year, lacking only little less than
three months.
The reports do not show that any
additional passenger equipment was
procured and no complaints from the
public of inadequate service have
come, so that the commission con-
cludes that the 2-cent fare has been
helpful to the railroads and their pa
irons in this State.
