Policy Of the Cleaning Committee
MRS. F. w. STEPHENS

The clubs of the city earnestly So
licit the ear of the public.
II the residents Of Richmond will
hear what they have to say and see
what they point out and move in the
direction desired. then will these clubs
be content
That to be heard is about the clean
ing of the city, that to be seen pertains
to the beauty of the city, and its ac-
complishment awaits the action OF the
people.
Would that Richmond might at this
time perceive her advantage in engag-
ing in such an enterprise, would that
all her citizens would heartily unite
their energies in one concerted effort
to improve the appearance of our city.
The Civic Improvement Association
of America offered last year to enroll
as members those who had advocated
the cleaning movement in Richmond,
regarding it of national value, recog-
nizing the aim as sufficiently worthy
the honor. The fact is, all who la
Dor for the cause here look upon it as
educational. training to know and
love beauty and order and to make
them law in home and street and city.
This is now the third attempt made by
the parties promoting the scheme, and
they are putting forth ten-fold exer-
ton this year to secure the interest OF
the people. There has been promise
given them by the mayor that a procla-
nation will be issued, setting apart an
entire week. May End to 7th, as clean
ing time. The Board of Health is So
licited to lend aid to the movement.
Every organization in the city is urg-
ed to help it on. The Commercial club
and Young Mems Business club have
pledged their support. The high
school students show positive enthusi-
asm in the subject. Parties in charge
of the enterprise will visit every school
room and speak to the pupils. They
will be presented badge with a
pledge upon it like this: I'VE wish
Richmond to be clean and beautiful
city, and we will work to make it so.'
The sight of these badges during
cleaning. week. should cheer every
loyal citizen of Richmond. We would
like to see one worn over the heart Of

Wear it, and let II signify all the pro-
motors Of this movement mean for it.
A cleaner city. better inhabitant. a
happier home. Wear it aud pat the
back of every fellow that does so.
Prove by your work that you will by
its fulfillment. indicate your determi-
nation to devote your energies to the
growth and prosperity of Richmond.
Prizes will be offered for the most
beautifully kept. and for the neatest
wards in each ward. and the CONNER
cial club proposes to make some sort
of meritorious mention OF the cleanest
ward in the city. A canvass will be
made to learn who will compete for
prizes with a personally put invitation
to join in the movement for clean ana
beautiful home grounds. We are
sure the residents will give such visit
ors kindly reception and appreciate
the good motives which prompt them
to call.
1t will be impossible to state In this
article just the nature of the prizes to
be given. but they may be such as to

spot in the place he occupies, SO he
makes it shine the best he may. In

as the people allow to be listed.

there will follow this article a publi

MARK TWAIN
Chicago Inter-Ocean.)


The whole American people were
concerned when they read that Mark
Twain had returned from a winter in
Bermuda SO little improved in health
as to be unable to walk from the
steamer to the wharf
1t is shock to all of us to be oblig-
ed to feel that the foremost of living
American men of letters, whose books
have made him. fireside friend
throughout the nation, cannot in the
course of nature, be with us much long
err
For despite his "a years it is impossi-
BILE to feel that Mark Twain has really
grown old. The acidity of age and
disillusion has so rarely appeared in
his writing or speaking that it is diff
cult really to convince ourselves that
he is beyond three score years and ten
and near the day when the silver cord
must be loosed and the. golden bowl
be broken, and the places that knew
him and the many that loved him
shall know him only as memory
Not that his is the spirit of the
child that has never grown up, as has
been that of some other beloved writ
ers. He is not Hahs Christian An
dersen, and has never been. He has
seen life with a boys eye. and has had
the rare power of remembering after
ward Just how it looked to the boy.
But his criticism of life in all his
works has been that of man SO far
grown in experience as to be able to
see lifes humor always. and it's IRON
les, but without himself becoming iron
ical. He has seemed much-experi-
enced Ulysses whose wanderings have
tired him little and soured him not at
all.
This is the typical American atti-
tude-to be able to see the seamy side
without becoming embittered by it. to
be able to laugh and say that this too
will pass, to be able to retain with a
penetrating knowledge of mankind the
hope and faith that they are going up
ward on the whole and not down.
1t is rare power. In the retention
of it Mark Twain stands alone among
men of letters who have really world
wide fame Tolstoi has lost it COM
pletely: Kipling is yisibly losing it,:
but Mark Twain retains 1t.
That is why it is such sorrow to
think that we may not much longer
have with us a great man of letters
whose attitude toward life is SO truly
Shakespearean.

Taesart is Formidable.

The, Washington City Star insists
that Tom Taggart is really formid-
able candidate for the senate in Indi-
ana and offers the following rather
forceful argument:
If the question in Indiana were a
simple one of choosing senator. the
republicans would be warranted as
matters stand, in feeling altogether
comfortable. AS between Mr.. Bever-
idge and Mr.. Taggart such common
wealth would not hesitate. The two
men are at the opposite poles in the
manner of equipment for national Of
flee. But there is very much mixed
situation all around and out of it
springs grave uncertainty as to Novem-
Der. Mr. Taggart is popular with the
brewers and the distillers and their
support this year viii be sought as
earnestly by the democrats as it was
two years ago. This gives Mr.. Tag
CARTS senatorial candidacy an import
ance it would not otherwise enjoy.-Ft.

The Man Who Laughed.
Somebody told him If he laughed
The world with him would smile.
And SO he undertook to chaff
In persistent style.
He laughed when on the street you
slipped
And saw great painful stars;
He laughed when scared pedestrians
skipped
In front of trolley cars.
He laughed to hear each tale of woe
Fen though your tears might fall:
He laughed at folks who couldn't go
To see the game of ball:
Until at last his friends broke in
Upon his manners lax
And every time he dared to grin
They hit him, with an ak.

The effort is being made to teach the
children only those things which are
likely to be useful to them and which
they are pretty certain to remember.
For this reason history Is being taught
In new fashion. A child Is no longer
marked upon Its knowledge of the
number of men killed in any particu-
lar battle, but upon the salient fea-
lures in our history which are Of i'm
portance now. In most Of the school
histories large amount of space is
given to colonial times. customes of

will give the salient facts In our his

opment OF this government and his

Old faint Of earbarisn.

From the New York Times.
"Disgraceful in It's haste, shocking
every sense OF decency," is the indig-
nant comment of one Of the counsel
for the state Of Tennessee upon Gov.
PattersOn's act In pardoning Col.
Cooper at the very moment when the
supreme court of the state had az
firmed his conviction and sentence of
twenty years Imprisonment for the
murder OF ex-senator Carmack. This
will be the prevailing sentiment In
every civilized community in the Unit
ed States. We do not say that there
are uncivilized communities in this
Union. but wherever in any commun-
ity approval Is expressed of this out
rageous executive pardon there will
be found trace OF barbarism. that
old bafbarism to which some commun-
tiles In the south-Or. rather. some
individuals In certain southern COM
munities-now and then revert. It
was that spirit of barbarism that
struck down Carmack, and again the
old barbarism guided the pen of Gov.
Patterson when he wrote and signed
the pardon of Cooper. The founda-
ton difference between civilization
and barbarism Is not one OF clothes
and manners. 1t Is that law sup
plants tribal custom. puts restraints
upon individual impulse and calls up
on every person to respect the con-
stables staff. The view that the
Coopers took of their relations to So
ciety and to their victim was worthy
Of an Apache or head-hunter OF Bor-
neo. Gov. Patterson's view Of his re-
lation to the law. which he has sworn
to respect and execute, is flagrantly
aboriginal and savage.
