said the other day: "Conceding
that Roosevelt meant well, his de-

frightening character that they
not only increased the general dis

Roosevelt. Let him blame the

LITTLE PROSPECT
FOR NEW COPPER
Looks as If West Richmond
Residents Must Keep on
Without Protection.
EXCUSES ARE OFFERED.
COMMISSIONERS FEAR TF YOU
GET ONE WE WANT ONE, TOO"
PLEA MAY BE ADVANCED BY
OTHER SECTIONS.

The police commissioners will hold
their regular monthly meeting this ev-
ening and will consider the advisable
ity of appointing an additional mem
Der of the police force. West Rich
mond residents have petitioned the
board to take this action as they state
tha section of the city has not proper
police protection, there only being one
officer west of the river on night
duty.
1t is the general opinion that the
commissioners will refuse to appoint
an additional patrolman for the rea-
son that if West Richmond is given
better protection other sections of
the city will demand increased police
protection, which cannot be granted
because the local force has just one
officer less than the number the law
permits for the city the size of Rich

TO Be REQUESTED
Chief Miller Says One Is Need

partment.
is NOT A NECESSITY.
so MILLER SAYS IN REGARD TO
WEST SIDE HOSE HOUSE
MORE PROTECTION FOR REID
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL NEEDED.

Chief Miller. of the fire department,
in his recommendations for appropria-
ton to cover the expense of his de-
partment next year, will ask for an
increase over the appropriation made
for this year, SO that an aerial ladder
truck can be secured and to provide
additional hose. Chief Miller regards
the addition of an aerial truck as ne
cessity. He states that the ladders
on the truck now in use are not long
enough to be used in the event the de-
partment was called out to fight a
blaze in one of the big business blocks
or factories. This, he says, was shown
by the Colonial fire.
Shortly after that big blaze Chief
Miller asked the board of public works
to purchase an aerial truck and to
make other improvements in the de-
partment. Beyond asking the water
works company to build an additional
water main from the pumping station
into the city, which request the COM
pany refused to comply with. the board
has taken no steps to increase the ef-
ficiency of the fire department.
Council and the business men of the
city approve Of the plan to increase
the efficiency of the department, and
1t is quite probable that council will
appropriate some money to secure the
additional hose and the new truck.
Chief Miller states that if the aerial
truck is secured the present truck will
be held in reserve.
Chief Miller states that he will not
ask council to make an appropriation
to locate hose company In West
Richmond. He states that he realizes
this expense would be too great at the
present time. The chief also is of the
opinion that West Richmond hose
company is not an urgent necessity.
He states the department is now capa-
BILE Of handling in proper manner, all
blazes which might occur on the west
side of the river. The run to that
section of the city, he says, is only a
short one.
Yesterday Chief Miller and Council.
man Deuker, who represents the city
on the Reid Memorial hospital board
of trusees. visited the hospital. Miller
demonstrated that the four inch main
to the hospital is not large enough,
showing that a stream only twenty.
five feet high could be thrown. Miller
recommends that six inch main be
established, and his recommendation
will probably be acted upon by the hos.
pital authorities.

report on gambling. Edward Harris

a subsidized editorial.

The reports of the Indian work and

was not so much lack of money as of
Jesus and what the Indians needed
was consecrated teachers. The report
advocated giving citizenship to the In
dian and said proper family records
should be kept for the transfer of
property. 1t was decided to carry on
the work among the colored people of
the South in the two Friends schools
in South Carolina and that an addition

Who Are Interested.
There are groups of citizens who
are especially interested in this cleo
tion-the laborer, the farmer and the
business man. The laborer wants
more work, better wages and shorter
hours. He is one of the greatest fac
tors in the production of the wealth
Of this country, and we believe that he
should have his fair share of 1t.
THE farmer wants a better market
for his produce and he demands the
destruction of the combinations or
ganized to control the price of his pro-
| ducts. To this end our party de-
mands the right of the farmers to or
ganize so that they may be the better
prepared to protect themselves from
these monopolies.
The business man demands an
| equal opportunity. He has not got 1t
