New York city.
They are said to be clipping on the
tramp steamer Indrado which, sailing
from New York, is due at Gibraltar on
Friday next.
The Indrado's destination is China.
Fuller's mission is to separate young
Mott from his inamorats.
Young Motifs father will pay Fuller
$4,000 II he brings Mott alone, ashore
at Gibraltar. But IL looks as II there
would be a hot race as far as China.
Should Fuller not reach Gibraltar in
time to catch the Indrado the next lap
Of the race will end az Port Said. at the
Mediterranean entrance Of the Suez
Canal
Fuller was In London last night where

but his love for the boy swayed him
and he dispatched Fuller from London
on the . o'clock train for the continent
last. night.
Fuller spent restless hours here await
ing the train. Even II Fuller makes
schedule time. he cannot arrive at Gibral-
ter before s o'clock next Friday morning
But the railroad between Madrid and
Gibraltar Is at the mercy OF strikers. and
at their best Spanish railroads are very
uncertain So Fuller may arrive at Glib
raltar after the Indrado has left that
port.
Then will begin the race to Port Said.

ANNEX THE STBURB

The expressed desire OF Barton Heights to

sideration of the Council. II should matter not

declined an opportunity OF annexation once at

solely upon the economic facts pertaining to
the proposition.
BY economic facts We do not necessarily
mean q bargain and sale inventory OF what
Barton Heights has to bring and what It would
get. The problem OF greater Richmond
means something more than that. 1t means
the development of a city which shall include
every suburb whose people closely identi-
fed with the business and life of the town.
There should DO civic we'll industrial

A JUDICIARY OF PILATES.

Representative Campbell is unhappy in his
catstic letter to ex-Presdent Roosevelt in
which he cites the action of PLATE with re-
spect to the Christ as an example OF the re-
call OF judicial decisions.
Apart frum the bad taste of seeking to In
ject what is a pivotal act In the Christian
tragedy into trumpery political controversy.
Mr. Campbell does not even square his ex-
ample with the facts.
There WAS no recall OF Pilates decision
He was merely weak Judge. trucking TO the
masses. His washed hands will forever be the
symbol OF u vaeilating character refusing to
accept its responsibilities. Had he possessed
the manhood to declare his decision and stand
by IT, the soldiers Of Rome were present to
give authority to his decision.
II such a comparison has any value in the
matter of the recall of judicial decisions. 1t
consists in the fact that the doctrine would
tend to put all judges on the same plane as that
occupied by Pilate--the plane OF the man who
regards less highly than hts oath the recep-
ton by the rabble of construction he put upon

decisions In operation. It would scarcely ever
be, exercised for the simple reason that any
man servile enough to accept judicial place

The only way to properly utilize river is to

way to do this is by and through municipal

DILLETANTE SOCIALISM.

The Columbus speech OF Mr.. Roosevelt
naturally gave an impetus to the idea OF
socialism. 1t Ia not possible to declare that
all laws are in favor of a special class, be-
cause certain number of exceptionally rich
people naturally fall into class without
thereby exciting the idea that there should
be an overthrow OF laws in the effort to frame
them for the class OF the majority In such
a manner that there shall thenceforth be no
opportunity for the individual to separate him.

touch which shows that genius and fortitude

which he describes the long waiting in bitter
cold. the dash over treacherous mountains
whose creyasses were often brdged with

find him recurring again and again to the
loss of the dogs which the exigences of the
enterprise forced him to sacrifice. His latest
reference to this incident was In part az fol-
lows:
think what touched us most keenly on the
whole journey was the unavoidable killing of
dogs which had shared dangers and done
such splendid work. The killing OF them
went to the heart OF every one.

Liberation OF his feelings. He must feel within
himself q poignant suspicion that his very
strength and success is fed on an unworthy
