and their relations with the rest OF the
world, the President should boil down
his message so that IT could be read by

The criticism of the Presidents mes-
sage by the Columbia state is not un-
like the criticism of a vast majority of
the newspapers; yet the space filled by
them with other matters, certainly not
of greater Importance, is astonishing.

great deal of space themselves in print

MEAT STILL GOING ur.

The price of meat is going up. On
Tuesday all grades OF beef and pork
in The Omaha market went up one
the pound; the wholesale price
of pork. which was 10 cents the pound
last week, has gone UP to IL cents. and
1t is said that the retail prices all over
che country will follow at once. On
Tuesday the price of hogs rose from
10 to so cents, and -cattle have been
steadily advancing for the past week"
This VIII not be very welcome news
to the ultimate consumer, whose atten-
ton is directed to the fact that the
railroads are not to blame for the in
creased prices of meat. There has been
no advance in the charges for trans
portation for the last twenty years or
so. Isn't 1t about time we were taking
II fair view of the auses which nave
led to the present high cost of living
and place the blame or the praise
where it really belongs?

, NEW UsE Fon FIRE,lnN.

Denver Municipal Facts, the interest
ing weekly published by the city of
Denver for the information of it's citi-
zens, tells in it's latest issue of a novel
system for keeping some of the streets
in high-class condition and at the same
time furnishing exercise for the men
and horses of the Fire Department
This innovation is about to be put into
effect by Mayor specr.
At twenty of the fire STATIONS the
iremen will be formed into squads for
street work. Road scrapers will be
given them, together with other equip
ment for repairing and leveling streets.
They will devote a few hours every day
to the streets in a district not moro
than four or five blocks from the fire
their work making it convenient for
them to respond speedily to any fire
alarm.
The work which the firemen Will do
Is supplementary to that of the Street
Department, which now has much more
than 1t can do. The aremen are called
upon because they need advertisement
and work hat will keep them healthy.
The horses that draw the fire apparati
must be exercised every day.
1t is proposed, then. to utilize the
exercise hours OF the men and horses
in accomplishing some results for the
city, TIE plan has already been tried
at the Montclair hose house, in Denver,
and successful results have been OBJ
tanned. The fire laddies at Montclair
have for some weeks been putting in
several hours a day keeping the streets
in repair. 1t is hoped that much ri
valry will be manifested between the
different companies, so that one may
attempt to Guido the other in street
Improvement.
Denver is the first city in the country
10 try out this plan. The men seem to
take kindly to the idea. No street
cleaning is expected or required of
them. They work only for the making
of better streets.
Why not try 1T in Richmond?

In fact, there is no evidence to rcbut
the presumption that Captain John

THE MESSAGE .Np or.rnu ritlvcs.

AS we have said, the Presidents mes
sage to Congress is very long, The
newspapers all over the country are
commenting upon his feature of It,.
rather than upon its merits as a state
paper,
The Columbia State protests against
what it calls "opprcssively long mes
sages,' and it has gone into figures in
this case. 1t estimates hat it would
take at least eight hours to read tho
Presidents message with care. and its
proper digestion would require a great
many more hours, 1t does not believe
that more than one man in a thousand
viii read the ge. but as there are
ninety-o million people In his coun-
try, if the calculation of the Columbia
paper hold good. it Will be seen that
the President would still have a fairly
respectable number of readers-about
the number we should say, who read
The Times Dispatch every day. In the
opinion OF our contemporary, it is not
so important TO know whit 10 do with
eN-Presidents as II i 90 have Presl-
tents trained to SAY the essential
things within the time the pubic may
give attention.

Although his question was not sent

%sympathize entirely with the view ex-
pressed by his thoughtful woman.
The giving OF gifts is one of the mosc
delightful exercises, but not simply be-
cause it Is 1.-THE fashion" and is influenced
by the feeling that the receiver can't
help giving something in return. This
is one of the reasons that the gift-giv-
ing season is always looked forward
TO with grave misgivings and mucn
embarrassment. We are told by the
ministers to give until it hurts: but
this Is understood to refer only TO what
we give in a religious way and for
religious purposes. A safe rule in
Christmas giving is not TO give If II
hurt. Especially do not give cigars
that nobody can smoke, or should
smoke, and never give matchpoXes, or
other things of that sort, that are never
used and that cannot be Knocked"

THE JUDGE AND THE COLONEL.

Will Judge Simeon e. Baldwin at
tend the dinner of the New Haven
Chamber of Commerce next week? is
the question that is giving some coa-
Germ to h excitable people of the
Yankee town, and the papers are fun
of it. Colonel Roosevelt is to be the
guest of honor on this occasion and the
story is that Judge Baldwin will not
sit on the same platform with the
Colonel unless the Colonel has made a
full and ample apology for his slauder
of the Judge during the late cam
paign. "One of Judge Ba1dwin's
closest friends" is reported by the New
York Times, which prints only the
news that is fit to print or so ad-
v%ertises, to have said Tuesday night:
"There is no reason why the Governor
elect should attend the banquet ii
Roosevelt is coming up here to hold Il
political rally or to explain the troubles
of the Republicans. In fact, good taste
seems to dictate that the only course
for him to pursue is to remain away
1t is hoped that the Judge will follow
the counsel of his friend.

the stories is that the Judge has re-
turned several of the Colonel's letters
without opening them or knowing the
nature of their contents. The Colon"l
admits, as the story goes. that letters
have been written, but has declined to
SAY anything more, as the correspond
ence is not yet completed" II it be
true, as alleged, that the Judge viii
not open and read the Colonel's letters,
it would seem that the correspond
ence will never be completed. We are
told that the fact that such cor
respondence is in progress was taken
to indicate that friends are striving
for a mutually satisfactory under

be escaped If the Colonel would stand

TIE PECslDENi NIL iEtS
Some new sensation may be expected
from Washington nearly every day
until the present Congress finishes rs
labors. Yesterday the story was tod
about how the president had iaHiied
senator Lal1ollettc to a conference wiin
lir, about the appointment of justices
OF the Supreme Court and how the
WISCONSIN senator sidestepped the anvl-
tation. and. instead OF going TO the
White House in response to the Pfesl-
dents request, wrote a ietter Informing
tbe President that ~ shall support your
Administration whenever i can do SO
consistently, and shall oppose your
recommendations only when md 1t
necessary so to do in accordance WIN
my convictions of public duty"
This was the way the Senator's letter
closed and 1t was altogether wltiih ms
rights and to his credit that he Should
have spoken so frankly; had he not IN
+he nrst mart Of his letter offered the
suggestion that "in view of present con-
ditions only such men should be Sc
lected as will be certain to construe
the Constitution and the law with que

whose legislative OF judicial records

terests or whose legal connection

another way of saying that in the
opinion of Senator Labollette the
president should appoint Judges VINO

and who would construe the constitn-
ton and the law without regard to the
rights of the special Interests, or such
appears TO be a fair construction of the
senator's remarkable letter.

of Judges the people want and we are
sure that it is not the sort of Judges

! tor LaFollette did not go to the White

dent. such being the twist of his mind
as to how and against What interests
the new Judges should be selected,
Thousands of years before Senator La
Toilette was born and the state of
Wisconsin established. a wise King of
Israel set judges in the land. anu in
giving them their commission said
unto them: Take heed what We do;
for ye Judge mot for man, but for tn

ment- Wherefore now let the fear Of
the Lord be upon you; take heed and
do it; for there is no iniquity with the
