CLEANUP DAY is COMING.

Tho city Health Department has
chosen May 3 as Richmond's annual
cleanup day. All the city carts will
be ready to do extra duty that morn
ing in removing accumulated litter
and every householder should be pre-
pared to give his premises a thor
ough overhauinE early in the day
Every dark room should be cleaned.
every .cellar set to rights, and every
old shoe and tin can removed from
tho back lot
The gain to the city will be worth
ten times the labor expended, If the
day be generally observed The win
tiers dump-pile and the sweepings
from the yard are a haven of rest for
nies. If the trash is left untouched,
the flies will breed in it during the
early days of the summer and will
soon appear in thousands about every
house If, on the other hand the
premises be kept clean and the gar
bage be quickly removed, there will
be few flies.
The destruction of all the breeding
places of flies will thus be a great
saving to the patience OF the people
and will keep many man from
breaking that commandment which
bids mon not to swear. but gener-
al cleaning-up OF all the places where
flies may breed will be a still greater
saving TO the health of our people.
The fly has been described as the
"deadliest animal alive" and this de-
scription is exact, but for the minor
fact that the fly is not an animal. He
carries the germs of practically every
known disease and is responsible for
much of the typhoid that annually APP
pears in Richmond. If the fly be kept
from breeding, the ny cannot carry
the germs of disease, and IL the germs
OF disease be not carried by the n.y.
the total amount of disease in the city
will be greatly reduced. The logic is
clear and it can he proved If all the
people of the city who are fortunate
enough TO own property will clean
| things up next Tuesday week.

MAYOR GAYNoR's BAD HABIT.

One Of the worst things about
Mayor Gaynor. of New York, in the
eyes of those whom he had forsaken.
is his habit OF saying what he thinks.
The Mayor does not care continental
how the wind blows and he has a
habit of throwing rocks in the dark.
II he hears a dog howl. the Mayor de-
cides that he hit the dog and pro-
ceeds to business. Just at this writ
ing, the Mayor has offended the pow
crs that used to be. by vetoing reso-
luton authorizing the Coroner OF
Richmond Borough to buy an auto
mobile at a cost of $500
In his veto. the Mayor de,
clares that the Coroner does not
nesd an automobile any more than
the Mayor does. There are street car:
enough in Richmond Borough, he
thinks. and besides, walking is fine.
Now, whoever heard of such a
,ning9 or course, the Coroner did not
need an automobile. and nobody ever
supposed he did; but that was not
the question. The City Fathers did
not deny him car, and SO he wanted
it on general principles. 1t was too
much for good nature, however, for
the Mayor to come out and veto the
resolution, and, in vetoing it. to tel
the truth.
Mayor Gaynor is wearing we'll with
the people, and his unwillingness to cal
an ace of spades the unit of the lesser
black suit mas made him friends all
over the country. II he keeps his
pace, he may walk out of New York
and strike for Washington one OF
these days.

prohibitive prices of last November.
Butter is also coming down; eggs are

,orr To-Day. ..sp VOTE n1cur.

Every man in Richmond who has
ballot ought to cast it this morning.
Every man who wants to see Richmond
make the most of the great opportuni-
tics it has to-day ought to do his part
towards putting good men in the Coun-
Gil. Every man who loves Richmond
ought to help Richmond to-day by
helping choose men who are qualified
20 do the best that can be done for the
city.
No other officers. State or city, are TO
he chosen to-day, and there Is no spe-
cial fight for any one seat in either
branch of the Council. There is little
in to-day's primary TO stir up popular
interest The mon who go to the polls
and vote to-day will go therefore be-
cause it is their duty. Yet this very
fact makes it all the more important
that every man should vote for the
best men in his ward and should cast
his ballot against any undesirable who
should appear on the ticket When
voting is question of public duty 1t
should be done with especial care.
No man whose name comes up for
election to-day has been attacked in a
legitimate fashion by any public speak
or during the course of the campaign
This relieves the citizens of any gen
eral responsibility to defeat certain
men as a public service, but it doe:
not relieve any man of his responsible
itv 10 vote for every good man anf
against every bad man on his WARD
ticket
II is especially desirable that tho
election to-day should show how the
voters of the city appreciate men who
have done their duty by the city. II
every ward there are mon on the tickle
who have stood the test of Council ser
vice and have been proved faithful
public servants. Many of these me,
have suffered in too general condem
nation of the Council, and some o
them have been unjustly accused o
wrong doing. The voters of ever.
ward have an opportunity to-day L
make amends for past failings and t
pile up votes for the men who desery
them.

Rad IN PRINCIPLE.

The postal savings bank bill, the peg
child of certain senatorial nurses, has
been sadly mistreated since II fell into
the rough hands of tho House COM
mittee. Its parents would hardly know
1t. Its locks have been clipped, its
spirit has been broken, and there is
little left to distinguish It as the same
ofsprng of the Senate, except its
name.
Every important provision of the
bill has been changed in the lower
House. The Senate bill fixed the limit
on deposits in the postal banks at
$500 the House reduced the amount to
$500. Tho Senate would have made
every office issuing money orders a
place of deposit; the House leaves this
to the trustees of the fund with the
understanding that practically all the
tourth-class postoffces are to be eS-
cluded from the provisions OF the act.
The Senate stipulated that the postai
funds be invested in Government bonds
by the banks holding them; the House
thinks the banks should only be forced
10 purchase Government bonds wher
the country is at war. The Senate
| limited the repositories for posta
| funds to national banks and inspected
state banks; the House throws doWr
the bars and makes all chartered banks
| legal repositories. subject to the deci-
sion of the trustees of the fund,
Manifestly. there Is great disagree

the bill, and there would seem to b.

NOT JEALOUS 4 nIT.

Ex-senator j. B. Foraker Is in New
York at present, awaiting the arrival
from Europe of several members of
his family Nobody cared particularly
whether Foraker was in New York or
in New Zealand. but reporter OF the
New York Sun happened to run across
him in the lobby of the Waldorf Asto-
ria and very politely asked him for
his opinion of current politics. The
former champion of the Brownsville
blacks was courteous but firm, and
positively refused to discuss Taft or
Bryan, or Roosevelt or anybody or
anything. AS the reporter was saying
goodnight, however, Foraker gave
him this: II may add l don't see any
thing in the achievements of men in
public life to mako anybody jealous.
What can the longtime friend OF
John D. Archbold mean by such sy-
billine remark? OF course, IT may be
possible that Mr.. Foraker means to
say that the men in public life were
doing so little and We're doing that
little so badly that no self-respecting
citizen could envy them their task,
but this would hardly be a proper re-
mark to come from the courteous Sen
ator. Can it be possible, at a hazard,
that Mr. Foraker meant his remark
to convey the idea that man in pub
lie life had such hard time that no
one out of public life should envy an
| oeiceboldnr his nlacc2
If the latter be the correct meaning
| whence comes Forakers right to
speak? surely nobody ever bothered
him in the performance of his public
services. Did he not have the floor
of the senate as long as he had breath
to talk, and could he not have had a
| committee appointed to investigate
anything that he charged against any
bodye Why, then. is he morose'
Surely he was not disturbed at thf
! little Archbold incident, and surely ne

has his seat. Jealous? Not bit.

THE vAsE POINTS STRAIGHT.

Even the stoutest of the stand pat
ters have been shocked by the poll
tical revolution in the Rochester Dis
trict of New York state, Such a
change of public opinion was never
manifested in so short a period in
New York, and such q rebuke was
never admiEstered to Republican
nominee IN "a Eepublican district.
When the late James e. Perkins was
elected TO the House from the Roch-
ester District in 1908, his majority
was l0161. His support was solid, his
organization was perfect. To defeat
him seemed impossible, to weaken
the strength Of his machine was be-
You'd the hopes of the most daring
Democrats Yet. in the special cleo
ton held Tuesday to fill the vacancy
caused by Mr.. Perkins's death. the dis
,rict went Democratic by 1891. Fol-
lowing so close on the political
earthquake in the Plymouth District
in Massachusetts, this election has
brought rejoicing in the Democratic
camp, and has made the Republicans
of the Empire State tremble.
There were, to be sure, special
causes why c. w Aldridge, the Re
publican nominee, did not draw out
the normal Republican vote. AID
ridge was a political boss who had
been mixed up in more than one
doubtful transaction and whose po-
l!tical corruption had been openly al
legged during the last few weeks.
This. as tho New York Times very
properly suggests probsbly reduced

postal savings banks where there arc
ALREADY banks. especially as the Gov
ernment insists that 1t does not intend
to interfere with the regular banking
business? The reason for the change
made BY the House is said to be the alb
sence Of safes at the fourth class Offices,
which make them insecure as deposit
tories. AS a matter OF fact this argu-
nent applies to all offices of the third
class and toSmany of the second class,
Tor no safe is but little worse than a
safe which would not stop a burglar
half an hour.
These arguments. pro and con, arc
all, by the way. however, as the meas
ure Is wrong In principle and will be
wrong in practice. The Governmon.
has no right to go into business.
Tie Government has no right to COM
pete with the savings banks and to
take from them one OF their principa'
sources of revenue. The Government
should not cntrust To the tender mere;
OF political board OF trustees the
savings funds that might BIO collected
under the postal system. Tho temp
tation would be too great to select pet
banks after the fashion of Andrew
jackson, as postal repositories. and to
use the postal funds as a new asset to
boost Wall Street inflated currency.
The sooner the whole thing is forgot
ter or killed. the better for the bust
ness prosperity of the country and for
the legitimate transaction of the bank
Ing business.
