FACE TO FACE.

A candidate for the highest Office
which the people of the United States
can confer is coming to Richmond.
There will be many who will go to see
him out of curiosity. But that should
not be the reason why there should be
a large crowd to see him.
Every man who casts a vote for
president owes it not only to himself
but to the country to be as we'll in
formed as to why he casts his vote as
possible. He should remember that he
casts his vote for his family and for
generations yet unknown, which i'm
poses on him a responsibility far great
er than any other which can touch
him. What can a man be sure Of in
these days? Can he be sure he knows
everything about the candidate or the
principles he is voting for? Certainly
not.
But there is one thing he can be sure
in his own mind about. That is wheth-
er the man sizes up in his mind to the
stature of presidential timber. How
can he be sure when he never sees that
man?
A man can soon tell of the sincerity,
of the character, and the honesty of a
man by seeing him in person.
From such a scrutiny, Taft has moth
ing to fear. He is open, honest and
above board. His character is ire
proachable, his judgment and his COM
mon sense are sound. He is real
man and he appeals to real men. AS
an orator he cannot compete with Mr..
Bryan. But whoever hears him is con-
WINGED Of his sincerity-a thing which
has always been conceded Of Bryan.
Mr.. Taft is no visionary-he is just a
plain, common sense man-eminently
fair.
| No one who casts a vote should fail
to take this opportunity to be sure in
his own mind as to whether or not
his estimate Is correct
| Meet him face to face.

THE HEARsT.ARcHBoLD LETTERS

Whatever may have been the cost
of the letters which Mr.. Hearst is re-
ported to have bought for $4,000,
there is little doubt that they are au-
thentic. And as far as discussing the
morals of a man who would buy stolen
goods there Is no denying that it was
important that side light be thrown
on the operations of the Standard.
Hearst has never been known as any
thing but INSCRIPTIONS, SO that he has
nothing to lose. This is almost his
first service to the country. Good can
be accomplished by bad methods.
This by-product Of Mr.. Hearst's dis
tinguishing feature sensation is
worth while. But that does not rem
der Hearst free from condemnation of
his methods; nor on the other hand
does 1t prove that the letters were not
authentic. On the whole they came
nearer being worth $4,000 to some
body than the $1,000 which Mr.. Arch
bold offered for their return.
We have had many Letters to an
Unknown" and Love Letters of a
Musician" but the Letters of the
Standard" would make not only inter.
esting reading but future history.

If you go into a restaurant. cafe or

Heavy steaks, soups, oysters, en-

do not.

UNcLooeINo THE WHEELS.

One of the charges which is being
made against Taft is that in the event
of his being made president he would
advocate the separation of some Of the
functions of the interstate commerce
commission and put them into the
hands of a department of the govern
ment BY this democratic speakers
are won't to dance up and and down in
glee and then startle their audiences
into believing that this would do away
with the effectiveness OF the interstate
commerce commission and put the rail.
roads in power. 1t is somewhat anus
ing to regard the once democratic prin-
ciple Of state rights and their one time
hostility to the interstate commerce
commission.
But be that as 1t may, it is we'll to
inquire into it. In Taft's speech Of
acceptance he said: 1.-THE commission
ought to be relieved of its jurisdiction
as an executive directing body and it's
functions should be limited to the
quasi-judicial investigation of COM
plants by individuals and by depart
ment of the government charged with
the executive business of supervising
the operation of railroads"
Ha is right
The interstate commerce commission
is SO overburdened with work that it
is far behind. Already Taft has de.
clared the evils of delayed justice and
he has pointed out that one of the
chief tasks of the next administration
should be to complete, adjust and per.
feet the machinery necessary for the
full enforcement of reformatory meas
ures.
The interstate commerce commission
is so overworked and overburdened
that it is imperative that some of its
work be given to newly created de-

STREET CAR sPRINkLING.

The recent absence Of rain in this
vicinity made the problem of street
sprinkling one of the things of pre-
eminent Importance to every one.
Two of the most active dust pro-
ducers at work were the street cars
and interurbans. By continual pass
ing at frequent intervals they not only
cause dust, but keep it stirred up.
In other cities sprinkling is done
by the railway and interurban com,
panies. This is easily accomplished
by a sprinkling car running over their
road beds. Inasmuch as these public

CHARGED WITH FIRST
DEGREE MURDER
Grand Jury Takes Action
Against Rasor.

Medina, o., Oct. 21.-Guy Rasor,
charged with the murder of Orie Lee,
his sweetheart, on the road near Wads-
worth, on the night of Oct 8, was held
to the grand jury on a charge of first
degree murder by Justice Van Deusen
The defense sought to show that
Rasor had always been devoted to the
girl and that he had no cause to kill
her
The states strongest evidence was
the tracks left in the dust of the road
by the horse and carriage which car
ried the girl to the place where her
body was found. The tracks tailed
with the peculiar shoeing of Rasor's
horse.
