Naming s&rsts.
railway Age Gazette.


London, like Chicago. is endeavoring
to adjust some Of her difficulties in
the naming of streets. In London
there Is trouble about lack Of uniform
ity Of name plates. while Chicago has
too many streets bearing the same
name, but in most instances has no
name plates at all. Chicago has been
going to have name plates for years.
but little progress has been made.
London is striving for uniformity in
street name plates, the present great
diversity in this respect In that city
having been discussed recently at
conference of the Royal Institute of
British Architects. Members Of the
Borough Councils in nearly every part
Of London attended. and as was to be
expected, there was free Interchange
of Views with the architects present,
and it was the consensus of opinion
that some uniformity Of treatment IL
desirable Some Of the London street
name plates are cast iron. many are
enameled iron, others are Of zinc or
tile, but the most common Of all. and
the most Objectionable in the view OF
the institute, Is to paint the name Of

was mentioned at the conference, for
the painter when the name fades, to
paint out the old name and then put
in wrong spelling. The type OF plate
most generally favored was one Of
plain cast-iron, with raised letters in
old Roman type. The suggestion was
also made and met with considerable
approval. that competition should be
promoted for a design for good ef-
f1cient name plate for uniform use.
| Neither Of these two proposals was
definitely adopted, but the representa-
tives Of the municipalities agreed to
report to their councils and to meet
the Institute again. Many OF the dele
gates were afraid of involving their
council In heavy expense. but INSOFAR
as members Of the institute arc con-
cerned they do not advocate IN ornate
or elaborate name plate; their view -
that IL It il simple and thoroughly e.

was the cesirability Of more genera

June.
[Lincoln Journal. ]

Lincoln Journal
The coming of the longest day re-
minds US that June is going. The
month of brides and roses has been
sufficiently celebrated. Have We been
duly appreciative Of June's gustatory
delights?
This June has been exceptionally
prolific of these. No serious frosts
nipped the buds, with the result tkat
every vine or bush or tree that ever
brings forth fruit has made this the
year to show its excellence. Such 4
reveling Of birds and boys has resulted
as seldom blesses even much blessed
June.
There were enough strawberries to
be worth hunting for. Notwithstanding
the drouth that discouraged surface
rooters. Best of all this June have
been the cherries With a little effort
grown robin can swallow a cherry
whole in about a second. yet the mag
nitude OF their opportunities must have
dszzled even the birds. On the heels
of the cherries, or rather between early
and late. have come TIE currants. Cur
rants are not go much a JOY to small
bows as to their mothers. Eating all
YOU want raw hardly pays for picking
whole patch. 1t is the came with
gooseberries, this year bumper crop
But even gooseherries are worth hav-
ing for pies if the sugar barrel is deep
enough.
Nature seems to have made June
after experimenting on the otne1
months, trying it's most apprentice
hand on March. So far beyond any
other month it seems while it is with
us that one sees its days slip by as
miser his pennies. The other months
have values of their own. July Will
bring blackberries, roasting ears ana
the first apples. october Will satisfy
us perfectly when its yellow days ap-
pear. Yet take it all in all. when this
June is gone we shall not see its like
again till next year, and perhaps not
then. We didn't last year.

STARTING PROSECUTIONS.

lou1lAh8SVA
A young and highly respected
woman died suddenly at Washington.
She had been visited by a gentleman
tho evening before, and they had eaten
some candy which he had brought. He
went on to Chicago during the night.
And Immediately some of the sleuths
and some Of the other good people
conceived the idea that crime had
been committed and that the young
woman had been murdered. Fortunate
ly later developments have set the
minds Of the people at rest. There has
been entirely too much Of this jump
ing at the conclusion that crime has
been committed because some one dies
suddenly. and the physicians are in
doubt as TO the cause Of the trouble.
The physicians are in doubt much
more frequently than they will admit.
But the man, who was thus brought
into undesirable prominence and ex-
pense, his whole career might have
been ruined and he might have been
as innocence as an unborn babe and
yet, it might have been difficult for
him to establish his innocence, and still
more difficult to make many people be-
lieve in it.

The Fight Up to Date.


The suicidal success won in a fraud
packed convention by the discredited
remnants Of standpat leadership in the
Republican party has served only to
throw into higher relief the progress
sive leadership OF Theodore Roosevelt.
NO other man in public life could have
accomplished what he has done In the
preconvention fight. Without his re-
appearance at the head Of the progress
sive the Taft cabal would have led
their victim and nominee to the sham
bles and escaped any adequate ex-
posure Of their sinister treachery to
the party.
COL Roosevelts candidacy forced
the issue upon the bosses in such form
that all the people could realize It.
The bosses were compelled to do their
worst to beat him. They were COM
PEELED to expose the ruthless extremes
OF machine rule, trickery, bullying. and
fraud. Against any other progressive
candidate they could have preserved
some pretense Of clean representa- ton.
But the people were so clearly for
Roosevelt that the bosses have been
compelled to say to them: Our will.
not yours, must prevail. Without such
a demonstration of the real meaning
Of boss rule. the real moral quality Of
standpat politics, the poison would
have remained in the constitution Of
the party. 1t is now go concentrated
that it will be thrown of.
Col. Roosevelt in this campaign has
performed a service to the American
people as great as any even he has
done them in the past. The Pyrrhic
victory OF the Coliseum seals the doom
Of the old regime. The people now
know what represen tat.ve government
means to Crane and Root misleaders
of Republican conservatism, to Barnes
and Penrose, Mckinley and Lorimor.
to all the draggled and battered rem
nants Of the old guard And they will
know how to make use Of this knowl-
edge. The day Of dust throwing Is
over.

c,aaas,s. TARIFF VIEWS.

Ths tariff reform committee has pre-
scented q list Of questions to all of the
prominent candidates for the presi-
dency in all parties relative to the tar
iff and Of the whole field Senator
Cummins and Woodrow Wilson are the
only ones who have given explicit an
swers, the others referring the inquirer
to their speeches. etc.
In Iowa the replies of Senator Cum
minis will be Of interest
Question No. reads, DO you favor
the present protective TARIFF" and
Senator Cummins replies, Some OF the
present protective duties are too high;
some Of them are about right. There
fore favor the ones that are right and
am opposed to the ones that are ex-
cessive''
Question No. 2, Would you reduce
the tariff duties as means Of reduc-
ing the cost Of living?" and Senator

Question No. reads, IF elected
president would you sign tariff bills
designed to remove all tariffs except

can imagine a tariff bill that pretended

president who believes in protection
ought not to sign, and l would not sign,
if president, tariff bill which applied

Question No. reads, DO you believe
in determining the tariff rate upon the
difference In cost of production be-
tween this and foreign countries? How
do you determine such difference"'
and Cummins replies, Il believe, in a
general way. in the determination Of
the tariff rates by the difference in
the cost OF production here and abroad.

Land GRANT SUITS.
Action Started TO AnnuI Remaining
Virginia Suits.

Years ago Pike county got rid of
what is known as the "old Virginia
Land Grants" the case finally being
carried to the Supreme Court of the
United States, which Court upheld
the Kentucky Court
There are number of other
grants in Pike county which are
really more nurtful to the people
than the Virginia Land Grants, and
what is known as the large blanket
surveys. The General Assembly of
Kentucky in 1896 passed an act
which provided that it is the duty
of the Commonwealth Attorney, in
the various sections wherein such
grants exist, to institute suit within
five years to forfeit such grants to
the Commonwealth. January 1st,
1912, was the last day in which said
suits could be brought. An action
was filed by the Commonwealth on
Monday week to forfeit the Cor
ley, Smith grant of $4,000 acres 70
non-payment of taxes. This blanket
survey has been held good by the
Court of Appeals, but various inter
ests in this grant have become sdb-
ject to the forfeiture by reason of
non-payment of taxes. This grant
takes all the upper end of Johns

and most all of Levisa fork of the

Catastrophe at N. X. Whitten'S GTist

more or less severely hurt. Chaffin's
skull is fractured and the attending
physician says he cannot recover.
Mr. Wellman was an uncle of Jno
and H. G. Wellman. of this place,
and Garfield Adams was cousin of
j NJ. Adams, with Dixon. Moore g.
Co. Mr.. Wellman is survived by
widow and two grown children. The
mill had been running but short
time when the accident occurred, The
buhr was going at high rate of
speed when II burst. One of the
mill posts which held the buhrs in
position struck Mr.. Wellman about
the lower part of his chest withforce
enough TO drive him through the
oak side of the building, causing
instant death. Besides those mem
toned several narrowly escaped in
jury. 1t is supposed that the con-
tinued cold had filled the stone
with frost, and the rapid motion
and continued friction had generat-
ed heat sufficient to cause the
upper stone to burst
Mr.. Wellman was a good citizen
and his untimely and tragic death
is much deplored. His partner and
son-in-law, Mr.. Whitten. was in Lou
lisa when the accident happened
and only heard OF it at Busseyville
as he was going home.
