From the time he reaches the edge
of the city until he has entered some
business house, the motorist who
visits Richmond is greeted with that
irritating word, Don't
At the corporation line he is told
that he must not exceed the speed
limit under penalty of fine. When he
arrives in the heart of the city, signs
which say, Don't Park in This
Square," thrust themselves in his face
from every trolly pole between Fourth
and Eleventh streets, on Main street.
Don't do this and don't do that for
if you do you will be fined" seems to
be the spirit the city assumes toward
visitors, here, either for business or
pleasure. The signs carry the intima-
tion that people can not be trusted to
do what is right but that a guardian
of the law must stand over them con-
stantly saying, Don't, or you will be
fined

Washington, Dec. 18.-The Repub-
lican National Convention will be
held in Chicago June Z next, week
in advance of the Democratic Con.
vention in St. Louis. =.
Selection of Chicago as the con-
vention city was one of the final acts
of the Republican National Commit
tee, which finished its work here
late yesterday.
Only one ballot was taken. Chica-
go received thirty of the fifty-two
votes cast.
The fact that the Democrats will
hold their convention last and that
thousands of them have already
made hotel reservations several days
in advance was a factor against the
selection of St. Louis.
The committee is believed to have
been influenced in deciding upon an
early date for the convention as
the result of arguments that the Re.
publicans should not wait for the
Democrats to meet first and an.
nounce its candidates and principles.
