good of the cause.
For Richmond Is patriotic in tho
support Of a worthy enterprise. be-
iieving that when 1t has a good thing
it should push it along. Richmond
Day will be the big day OF the week,
and the management has exerted it
self to make to-days show come up
to the highest anticipations of the
Richmond public.
Admission Price Not Raised.
The management is doing it's best to
nail the canard that the price Of ad-
mission was to keep pace with the
cost Of living and so up. The Vir-
gilman contradicted the rumor as long
ago as last Saturday. but. 1t is said.
the yarn Is still accepted as true by
many people. There are to be no ex-
ira charges to-day. or any other day
of the fair.
But It Is proposed to give extra
value for the Same money. If at
mospherio conditions are favorable.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1o.-In spite
Of the claim OF the Oil pipe Line COM
panies that they arc not common car
riers, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission is now conducting an exhaus-
tive investigation Of the workings OF
the various lines in the United States
with a view to controlling rates and
preventing monopoly. Hearings re-
Gently were held ut Los Angeles, Cal,
and Houston. Tex. by Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Franklin K Lane
and other hearings are scheduled.
At the hearings held representa-
tives OF the Standard Oil Company

mission. With the exception OF one
small line In Oklahoma, II II claimed
on behalf OF the Standard OH Conn
pany that all their lines are private
ones. running over private rights OF
way and carrying only the oil be-
longing to the company. and that
therefore the lines are not within the
powers OF the Interstate Commerce
Commission to regulate common car
riers.

The Foes Within.

Hobson is unquestionably one of tho
most irrepressibIe and vociferous jim
goes that ever afflicted this longsuffer-
ing nation. Last week he was at 1t
again. beating his war drum and tell
ing his tale of blood to the Marine Sup
Plies association. Having scheduled a
war with Japan for the near future, the
congressman continued:
I'VE must either turn our men into
soldiers or stand ready to control the
waters which flow between US and the
martial nations. When We accomplish
this, when we can compete on an equal
footing, then this country. with its mar
velous producing power, can outdistance
all others"
Apply history 10 Mysteries, suggests
the New York World, and see what the
test shows. Since 1890 our poor, white
livered country has cravenly failed
either to turn our men into soldiers
or control the waters which flow be-
tween us and martial nations" And
yet our population has grown from
100000 TO 90 900 900 and our national
wealth has Increased to nearly 1925
wealth of Great Britain and France.
As for the critical juncture" we are
nearing, we have had critical junctures
before with one foreign nation after
another We have Iynched Italian sub
jects in New Orleans without giving
satisfaction to Italy; we have quarreled
with Germany in Samoa and in the
Philippines; We have mobbed and in
suited japanese subjects in California +.
we had to heap humiliation after hui
initiation on Spain before We finally
managed 10 drive 1t into reluctant and
unnecessary war As for England. the
| martial nation" whose very navy best
fits it to overwhelm us, we have
had critical junCtures" with it
on Oregon and on Venezuela, on the
Trent affair. on the Alabama claims,
on Alaska and on Canadian fisheries
and We are soon to celebrate our cen
fury of peace with it.

ceremonies took place, as usual, on
the east portico of the capitol Mr.
Lincoln, Chief Justice Roger b. Ia
ney, who administered the oath of
Office; Stephen A. Douglas whom he
had defeated, James Buchanan, the
retiring president, and other distin-
guished men occupied a raised plat
form built of plank, under which was
stationed q company of soldiers
About noon President Buchanan ar
rived at Wizards hotel. where Lin
coin was stopping, in his carriage
and called for the president-elect,
who entered the vehicle, sitting be-
side the retiring president on the
drive along Pennsylvania avenue TO
the capitol All along the route SOL
disrs were stationed. Even on the
roofs Of houses troops with bristling
musket barrels were seen. This pre-
caution had been taken because of
long continued rumors that an a.
tempt would be made TO assassinate
Mr.. Lincoln. When the party ar
rived ar the capitol and assembled to
the platform on the east front Mr.
Lincoln suffered a slight embarrass-
ment which his old rival. Mr.. Doug
las. relieved small reading table
had been supplied for Lincoln's use.
The new president wore one of the
tall "stovepipe' hats Of the period.
He could find no place on or under
the table TO deposit the hat and stood
awkwaTdly holding it IN his hand.
Douglas, who sat behind him. quickly
arose. went forward and took lin
