CORRECT THE ERROR.
Because of an oversight on lite part
or president D. S. Jones, the cnll for j
the special mooting of the common j
council lust Friday night mado no ,
mention of the ordinances appropriate |
lug the funds necessary to defray the
expense of employing additional pa?
trolmen for the police department
(hiring the Exposition period, and to
cover an Increase In pay for ihc mem?
bers of the present force during the
months of May nnd Juno. As the
measures were not mentioned in tlio
call, they were not ncted upon nnd,
unless another special meeting Is held,
they cannot be adopted until the first
Tuesday lu May, just seven days af?
ter the money will bo needed. It Is
the purpose of the police commis?
sioners. In order to avoid employing
more men than absolutely necessary
to patrol the city when tho Exposi?
tion crowds begin to come, to put tho
members of the present force on
twelve hours' duty lastend of eight
hour shifts as at present. This was
agreed upon with tho understanding
that tho Increase in pay should start
on May 1.
Tho ordinances in question were
unanimously adopted by the board of
nldermcn tit its regular meeting a
week ago. They meet with tho ap?
proval of at least three-fourths of tho
members of I ho lower brauch and It
was generally understood that they
were to he adopted at the special
.session Friday night. This being
true, there is no reason in tho world
why another special meeting should
not. be held so that the mayor may
sign tho measures and let them be?
come effective not later than May 1.
President Jones practically said
last night that he had no Intention
of calling a special meeting, if he
does not deem a session necessary,
' .then five members of the body should,
without delay, sign a request which
will reqniro him to issu?. the call
whether ho so desires or not.
Newport News has a good police
force, hut. no accent can be put on
the word "force." The department
is sniaJl, even under ordinary condi?
tions, nnd with the Exposition on the
need of more uniformed men patrol?
ling tho streets and more men work?
ing in citizens* clothes will be urgent.
Therefore, tho council simply cannot
afford to allow the commissioners to
bo handicapped by lack of funds.
Tho council has recognized tho
conditions and prepared to -meet
them. Though an unfortunate over?
night the wishes or both branches
hove not been carried out. Let tho
error be corrected before hnrm re
; suits.
FORAKER MAKING DETERMINED
FIGHT.
Senntor Foroker has commenced
a campaign in Ohio for the control
of the delegation of thnt state to the
next Republican national convention.
It is a hard fight, but Foraker does
not shrink from the contest. He
knows what it is to fight and win and
fight und lose. He also knows that
in tho present contest he is opposed
by the entire weight of the Roose?
velt administration, with all the fas?
cination which surrounds a man like
ube President, nnd the belief thnt
/
Roosevelt alone can Bavo the country
from the evils (lull threaten it. The
glamor of Presidential i>ower Is ar?
rayed against Foraker in this fight,
lu a contest for the Presidency he
also has the disadvantage of being
tlie only Republican sennlor who vot?
ed against the railroad rate hill and
the only man who was out In the
open lighting that measure during Its
consideration by the Senate. There
were others ns much opposed ns For?
aker, but tney bowed to popular will,
while Foraker voted his convictions.
Foraker will suffer the charge of
being the leader of the "reactiona?
ries," that Is, those who Is serving
under the banner of the President's
"unfriends." another term that has
come from the White House. He will
no doubt be "tagged" as one of those
who Is a part of the now celebrated
"J5.UUO.0UU conspiracy." Ho will be'
the head and front of everything that
is In opposition to Roosevelt because j
he will be fighting the Roosevelt can?
didate In Hint candidate's state. Sec?
retary Taft will he a secondary con?
sideration. The real fight will be be?
tween the President und Foraker.
Resides having to fight the Presi?
dent's candidate, who is a resident of ?
Ohio and a cabinet, officer. Foraker
will have the opposition of two mem
bers of the President's cabinet from
Ohio, the President's son-in-law, who
Is a member or Congress from the
state, and the chairman of the House
committee on rivers and harbors, asj
well as several other members ofj
Congress. Beyond question Foraker
has a hard fight ahead of hint.
Rut with all the opposition that be
will meet. Foraker will have some?
thing on his side. He is not going
Into tlu? campaign empty handed. For?
aker was a soldier of the civil war,
entering at the age of lfi and serv?
ing until the close. Ills war record
Is good and the old soldiers are with
him. lie has always been a promi?
nent factor in Republican politics,
nnd has made more friends than ene?
mies, and they will be with him. He
will have the negroes with him ou
account of the defense he made of
the discharged soldiers of the Twen?
ty-fifth infantry. On account of the
coupling of the names of Hurrlmau,
Mover. Hay wood and Debs together
and calling them "undesirable citl-J
/ens," ns the President did in his re?
ply to Harrlman, n js expected that
the labor organizations will bo with
Foraker, or at least that portion of
them that hns been supporting Moyer
nnd liny wood.
With Foraker Is Senator Dick, the
head of the Ohio Republican organi?
zation, and chairman of the state
committee, which means a grent deal
in a state like Ohio. Dick is the
legatee of the Hanns organization
and Is a shrewd politician. With him
is the militia organization of the state
because he wus so long at the head
of that organization. He is likely to
have quite n following among the sol?
diers of tho Spanish war, as he was
colonel of an Ohio regiment during
that brief struggle.
Foraker will have with' him that
body of Republicans who think It is
undesirable for a President to have
a third term, or to dictate to the par?
ty as to who shall be his successor.
I There is a growing element of this
kind throughout tho country nnd nl
though they do not want to make
themselves conspicuous, it is expected
that they will be willing to fight un?
der Fornker's bauner In Ohio, or at
least quietly go to the polls and voto
for his candidate for delegates.
The interest in Ohio will he in?
tense, as it is the first battle ground
of the campaign of 1908. The deter?
mination of Mr. Roosevelt to control
the next convention and name the
candidate, or at lenst prevent the
naming of a candidate who will not
carry out his policies, has precipitat?
ed the contest which would naturally
be fought out next year and brought
on a campaign that will continue foi
18 months. Ohio is the first state j
on the list, and much depends upon!
the result in that state. A victory for
Foraker will mean tlint other states
and other candidates who do not
want to have the President dictate to
them what they shall do may may
make a fight. The defeat of Foraker
with such advantage as he has on 1
side, and in his own state, will mean
that the game is up and that Roose?
velt will control the next national
convention and name whom he
pleases for President and Vice Presi?
dent on the Republican ticket.
There is nothing strange In the
fact thai the woman who won the
baby prize contest piano never had
a youngster. She could not have
written so feelingly had she been
a mother. Tho mothers wrote from
actual experience and the other from
jdeals, and Ideals wlu every tlmo
when it comes to inspiring pretty
thoughts.
Holland has invited Cuba to send

Tliu Phoebus Sentinel is real angry
with the Dally Press?the slap-yon
In-tho-fncc kind?because we made a
remark about taxing bull dogs in
that place and seems to think that
we have a burning desire to regulate

thought, brother. Making and en?

yond us. We are going through life
looking for easier tasks.

IMPURE FOODS.
Tricks of the Trades Recordod by ?
Diarist of 1783.
"Tbt* pure food question Is ns old,"
laid an HiltiQlltiry, ' as (lie hills."
Hi- took down a volume hound In
gray enlf.
-This Is the dhiry," he said, "of Hoiu
rleli Cruger, born in Amsterdam In
1724: died In New York in 1870. Listen
to the pure food kick that Henry put
up lu l7s;5."
The antiquary read:
"Monday, 18th October? If I would
drink waler 1 must quaff the mawkish
contents of a cursed open aqueduct,
exposed to nil manner of deilleuieut
uml impregnated with all the tilth of
the town.
"As for the lutoxieutiug potion sold
as wine, it is a vile, unpalatable and
pernicious sophistication, baklerdashed
with elder, corn-spirit and the Juice of
aloes.
"The bread is a deleterious paste,
mixed up with chalk, alum uml boue
ashes, Insipid to the taste und destruc?
tive to the constitution.
"The table beer, guiltless of hops or
mult, Is vapid and nauseous. The tal?
lowy, rancid mass called butter Is
manufactured of caudle grease and
kitchen stuff. The fresh eggs were
fresh once.
"The green:' are boiled with brass
halfpence lu order to Improve their
color, while the pickles, though very in?
viting to the eye. are often tusupport
ably rank to the taste, the reason
being that in their case also the house?
wife has boiled a shilling's worth or
two of halfpence or a pound brass
Weight In the vinegar."?New Orleans
Times-Democrat.
THE MORNING WAKING.
Getting Up Exercises That Will Put the
Brain In Order.
The difficulty most people experience
in getting up in the morning can be
easily overcome by a simple operation,
according to a medical authority. Aft?
er the tlight's long rest the brain is
laden with somewhat Impure blood, ami
the lymph vessels which remove waste
matter are overfull and sluggish. This
Is why we all crave another ten uilu- j
utes in bed and why most people are
so morose at breakfast. Very slowly
the brain gets rid of the matters which
interfere with its vigorous action, but]
the process can be expedited.
if the linger tips are placed against
the neck Just under the ear nnd moved I
swiftly down to the front of the shoul-!
der along the course of the Jugular
rel?, the used up blood is drawn away
and room left for a fresh supply. This
should be done twice at each side of
the neck. Then the hands should bo
placed on the back of the neck Just
under the skull and moved downward
as far as possible. This clears out
the lymph vessels and effectually pre?
vents swollen glands, from which so
many people suffer.
After two brisk rubs of the lymph
vessels return to the Jugular veins and
then back to the glands, half a dozen
or eight times, until the operation will
be found far better than a cup of cof?
fee, and whenever the brain is dull
through congestion this massage will
be equally effective.?Pearson's.
Miss, Mrs. and Mistress.
"Miss" Is uu abbreviation of "mis- j
tress," which, as an English law die-j
tlonary explains. Is the proper style of i
the wife of uu esquire or a gentleman.
By Dr. Johnson's time it had becom? |
"the term of honor to a young girl." ,
In the earliest part of the eighteenth
century, however, It was used respect?
fully uf girls below the uge of tea
alone. After that age "miss" was
rude. Implying giddiness of behavior.
In Smollett's writings an uumarrled
woman of mature years and her maid
are both "Mrs." It Is certain that,
"miss" has grown older, so to speak, j
while "master" has become confined to
boys.
Danger In Linoleum Making.
In the manufacture of linoleum no,
unprotected lights are allowed in the'
mixing department. This is on account j
of the great danger of exploding the
cork dust Hunting lu the air. An addi?
tional dauger In linoleum making is
that the mixture of cement and cork
dust has the unpleasant property of
spontaneously igniting If left In a
warm place. It is therefore custom
dry to mix the material a sackful nt a]
time in order to reduce the risks of an
explosion.
A Figure of Speech.
"Dad," Inquired Freddy, "what is a '
'figure of speech V "
"Where's your mother?" asked dad
cautiously.
"She's downstairs," answered tho
boy.
"Well, then," began dad, "a figure of
speech, my son, is a woman."?Har?
per's Weekly.
A Paradox of Poets.
"Poets have always hnd scanty en?
couragement."
"Yes," unswered the sad eyed youth
with inky fingers. "The idea seems to
be that poetry Is something everybody
ought to rend nnd nobody ought to
write."?Washington Star.
