Special Correspondence OF The Star.


RICHMOND Va, October a. zoos.
Politics in Virginia will be reorganized
nv the next general assembly If the plans
of the city democratic committee are car
ried out 1t is a known fact that many of
the business men of the city are demo-
cratic in their affiliations when it comes
TO city and state elections, but that they
are of a different frame of mind in ma
tionaI affairs. Then, too. there are some
members of the various boards and COM
missions of the city and state who are not
always in line. and there are some OF
those who are today holding positions OF
trust and responsibility, but without any
salary who are alleged to be out OF
touch with the dominant party of the
state This is to be changed and none
but those who are known TO be strict
party men are to be given any recoSni-
ton by the state or the city in the dis
tribution of posts of honor.
The city committee has decided to name
a committee which will prepare a bill
10 go TO the next general assembly which
will provide for the registration of vot-
erS at each election, compelling them 10
declare if they are democrats, repubh-
cans prohibtionists or socialists. In TINS
way a record of the men will be kept. and
this record will be the means by which
the measurement of candidates VIII be
, tried Another reason for this action is
believed To be found IN the fact that when
Judge Taft came to this city thousands
of democrats went out TO the horse show
building o hear him. thereby giving aid
and encouragement 10 the enemy. There
was some opposition TO the movement,
but the majority of the committee stood
by the resolution providing for the com
mittee and It Will be named in "A short

Money Shark in Contempt.

For some years one of the newspapers
OF this city has been waging a relentless
war against the money sharks They have
been reaping a harvest in this city, their
customers being generally persons of
small means who were compelled 10 have
money for emergencies. They have paid
interest at the rate of IL to ~ per cent

unable to repay at the time the notes
fell due the lenders have resorted to the
courts and undertaken 10 have the claims

nice point that Tolman. in seeking to have
a judgment entered against one of his pa
irons, has committed contempt in asking
the judge TO perform an act which is in
hibfted by the statutes of the state.
Judge Turpin has taken the case under
consideration. and Tolman has been cited
TO appear and make answer To the motion
OF the young lawyer.
The poor people of the city have been
saved hundreds of dollars by the action

Only Half of Potato Crop.

Only little more than half of full
potato crop will be harvested this year
in Wisconsin, according to information
received by John M. True, secretary of
the state board of agriculture. Secre-
tary True, fearing that the late potato
crop of the state had been seriously af-
fected by the protracted drouth which
was broken only few days ago, had cor
respondence with his crop reporters in
Waupaca and other potato growing
counties of the state and from estimates
received places the crop at 55 per cent.
of full one. Reports generally agree
that the quality of the potatoes this year
will be above the average, but the yield
will be lighter.
Corn upon heavy soils has been bene-
flied by the dry weather and is now be-
yond danger from frost. Corn upon
sandy soils has been injured, especially
where fields have been poorly cultivated.

The Difference.

We do not grumble at waiting for a
clerk few moments when we go TO a
store. This is because we know that if
there are other customers ahead of US
they must receive attention before we
can be reached. How different when we
use the telephone. If central" is not
at the other end of the line instantly we
are ready to scold This is because we
are accustomed to prompt telephone SER
vice and no matter how busy the opera
tor may be. we expect her to answer at
once.
Occasionally central" makes a mis-
take and puts the plugs into the wrong
"jack" or opening which represents the
subscribers line. This opening is three
Fights of an inch in diameter. The
boxes or pigeon holes in cases used for
distributing letters in post Offices are
four by six inches, yet the clerk makes
relatively more errors 10 the distribution
of mail matter than central does in
the distribution of calls given her.-Ex.
