meet the past with the present.
The road that runs through time is
not widely different If one take the
average of a long stretch of 1t. Knowl-
edge of the road passed may make one
more patient and philosophic with the

be passed in due time and order and that
temporary embarrassment does not

Dangers Of the Motor Cycle.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The automobile is large and conspicu-
Gus; the motor cycle is not so easily seen
Very often the motor cycle is driven at a
dangerous speed and it's rider is a reck-

and possible speed call for stricter regula-

bear in mind the urgent need of making
the motorcycle less public peril. Already

ROOSEVELT AND CLARK ARE
THE WINNERS IN ILLINOIS
JUST DEE-LIGHTED
IS COL. ROOSEVELT
With a Broad Grin He SAYS
His Illinois Victory Is
Peoples Victory.
(National News Association

PITTSBURG, April l0.-"We knock
ed the bosses yesterday in Illinois. The
people had their say in fair and
square primary. What we did here We
can repeat anywhere that they let the
people speak for themselves The
voice of the boss will no longer be
heard in this land when the people
turn out as they did yesterday in llli-
nois.
1T was a glorious victory-the peo-
pies victory. The fight will go on, for
the principles at stake in yesterdays
primaries win everywhere.
Il am in the fight to stay"
In this way Col. Roosevelt today, as
his train left on days stumping tour
of Pennsylvania, spoke of the sweep
of Illinois. Roosevelt was elated over
the outcome of the primaries. While
his managers had assured him that he
would win, they had no idea it would
be a landslide. The ex-president was
the more gratifed that the victory was
such a decisive one. The overpowering
maiorities he got over President Taft
in McKinley's district were cause for
immense delight.
Wanted to Beat Mckinley.
Roosevelt had been particularly anx-
ious TO carry Mckinley's domain and
to have done so by such a positive
vote made him doubly pleased
"It was 6ne victory, fine he ex-
claimed when the whole panorama of
victory was unfolded to him.
The Colonel left here at O'Clock

will end with two speeches at Phila-
delphia tonight. His special was

they think will have a distinct bearins

Roosevelt will be nominated al

the ex-president' Pittsburg leader as
he stood at the special train today.
There is no stopping him. The peo

FIRE PROTECTION
At SCHOOLS GOOD
Except the Finley Building
Is Opinion of State In
spector Mcmahon.

With T. A. Mott, superintendent OF
city schools and Ed Miller, fire chief
William P. Mcmahon, deputy state in
spector of buildings and factories, visit
ed the school buildings in this city to-
day. Mr.. Mcmahon declared that the
school buildings were in excellent
condition, with the exception of Finley
school on South Fourth street. He ad
vised that the school board have fire
escape erected ON this building. He
says that this should be put up before
next fall
Mr.. Mcmahon says that he has been
connected with inspection work fol
some years and has never found school
buildings so Well equipped for fire pro
lection as are the ten buildings in this
city.
Three years ago the school buildings
here were inspected and at that time
the inspectors stated six buildings
needed fire escapes. The school board
had the escapes constructed on the
six buildings specified, but the inspec
tors at that time said that there was
no need of an escape on the Finley
school building.

COUNCIL PLANNING
A DRASTIC ACTION
Ordinance to Revoke Car
Company's Franchise Is
Being Prepared.

The chance for securing a better
street car system for Richmond seems
more promising than ever. The spe-
cial council investigating committee
which has been working on this ques-
tion for some time, met with City
Attorney Gardner last evening at his
rooms. Many points of violation of
the street car company's franchise,
under which the T. H. |. & E. COM
pany is operating in this city, were
found and were admitted as sound le-
gal complaints under which the re-
vocation of the street car company s
franchise could be made.
City Attorney Gardner and the cim-
mittee went over the evidence slowly.
The list of alleged franchise violations
were drawn up in legal form and will
be presented at the council meeting
Monday night. The evidence will be
embodied in an ordinance revoking the
car company's franchise. The meas
ure will pass, it is believed.
Legal process will then be invoked.
The council will pass the ordinance
revoking the franchise on the ground
of the specific complaints enumerated
in the ordinance. Council may revoke
the franchise by a two-thirds vote.
The street car company then has a
period of time to remedy the condi-
tions alleged to be violations of the
franchise rights. This must be done
to the satisfaction of the city council
or the franchise rights granted to the
company are forfeited.
The city attorney forsees legal bat
tie. The street car company has al
ready retained number of local at
torneys and intends to fight. All the
evidence cleaned by the committee
has been presented in careful form,
care being taken to leave no loop holes
or legal technicalities by which the
company may escape.
