Free Railroad Trip to Cincin-
natl, Ohio.

A. E. Burkhardt, the international
Fur Merchant, who is making Cincin-
natl, Ohio, famous as one of. the world S
great fur centers, extends an invitation
to all the citizens of Richmond and
Madison county who intend to purchase
furs for this season, to visit Cincinnati,
Ohio, and inspect his enormous plant,
where furs are manufactured and sold
direct From Trapper to Wearer," thus
eliminating all 'middlemen's" profits
They are the largest purchasers of raw
fur skins in this country, being expor-
tiers, importers and manufacturers. and
their low prices on furs of all styles and
varieties for women's wear are posi-
lively beyond all possibility of competi-
ton. This is the generous proposition
he makes.
Go to Cincinnati, Ohio, look over A.
f. Burkhardts enormous stock in the
two six-floor buildings at the corner of
Main street and Third avenue, select
just what you want, and the cost of
your railroad fare-for BOTH wAYs-will
be paid by the firm, providing it does
not amount to more than 10 per cent 90
per cent? of the purchase price of the
article. All goods are marked in plain
figures, and you need not mention that
you wish your railroad fare refunded
until AFTER making your purchase.
We advise our readers to take advan-
tage Of his liberal offer. 2l-2t

after her lahUrs at the p,stCtfice were
over.
They assembled in the yard To the
rear Of her home and made prepara-
lions for an oyster roast. The popu-
lar young lady arrived in due time
and on approaching the house was
quite alarmed To notice the flames III
the rear of it and believing it afire,
bethought herself of sending in an
alarm, but first determined to exam
inc the extent of the fire. Imagine
Miss Scott's surprise OF arriving ut
tine rear Of the house TO find the yard
contained almost all her friends and
that an oyster roast was in prepara-
ton. On inquiring she was informed
that the roast was I'm her honor.
Quietly Miss Scott related her earlier
fears. much to the amusement Of her
many friends. The oyster roast was
a success and most enjoyable affair.
The alarm was not turned IN, but the
oysters were.

REPUBLICAN REFORM IMPOS
SIBLE.
lMPos.

If you are ever tempted to let a
government reform itself, | ask you
to look back in the pages of history
and find me a government that re,
formed itself"
This is one of the several sayings OF
Governor Woodrow Wilson, which vim
dicates his reputation as a political
student, and it should be placed to his
credit as against several other utter
ances which seemed to us in utter dis
regard % the lessons of the ages
Governments do not reform them
selves. because the matters that need
TO be reformed are those in which the
men who administer the government
have a direct interest in preserving
the existing status. Any essential
changes in policies or methods from
those pursued by the party which has
been in possession of the federal es-
tabishment, with brief exception, for
a full half century, would not only
sever the alliance with the preferred
classes through which the republicans
have maintained control so long, but
would amount to a confession by the
leaders, that their party had all along
pursued courses detrimental to the
welfare of the people For they were
the originators and have been the pro-
moters of the systems now in opera
ton; and if these be wrong and hurt
full, admission of that fact would suf.
fee to convince the popular mind of
the vital necessity for calling an en-
tirely new set of agents to manage
the public business. The evils that
abound are directly traceable to the
theories and practices for which the
party represented by President Taft
is responsible Protection and privi-
lege are the germs from which those
evils have sprung. To disavow them
would be plea of guilty with no ex-
tenuating circumstances. and would
invite conviction at the hands of an
outraged constituency. The remedy
must come from without. The people
must work out their own salvation
or go without.-Norfolk (va.l Pilot.
