Pleasant, Profitable Employment
The Richmond Virginian is taking an especial pride in the present gigantic Subscription Campaign. $2,000 is to be given away immediately after the close of the contest,
September 30. 1910. In this contest every one has an opportunity to win a substantial amount of cash. It is a legitimate, competitive proposition in which personal effort
and perseverance are bound to count. We are running this contest for the very simple reason that we want to further develop the circulation of T he Richmond Virginian.
To do this, we are giving away ,$2,000 cash in addition to 10 per cent, of all subscription money received during the contest, to the persons receiving the highest number of
credits in their respective districts. In considering the contest we realized that the prizes must be of sufficient value to create workers. We cannot understand apparent
lack of interest. The field is open for workers. Get in line and commence to secure subscriptions and build up a monument of votes. The work is easy, pleasant and
profitable.

There has been no effort on the part
of officers of the Grand Camp, ac
cording to Colonel Btdgood. to Inter
fere In ajiy way with the affairs of
the Sons of Veterans, inasmuch aa
the latter, he believes, comprise an
entirely separate organization.

NECESSITY JliSTIFlEO

President Ripley of Saute Fe
R'>ad Says Railway Systems
Are Hipest Borrowers
CHICAGO, Aug. 30.—President Rip
ley. of the Santa Fe. testified nt the
opening of the freight rate hearing
that the necessity of permanent im
provements Justified the aVfv*hoe ’TfT
Western freight rates agreed upon bj
202 Western roads and approved by
the commission to take efTeet July i.
hut which was suspended by agree
ment pending a thorough hearing b>
the interstate commerce commission
"There has never been a time in
the history of the Santa Fe." he said,
"vi hen the pressing demands did not
amount to three or four times our
earnings. ”
Ripley said the earnings of rail
roads should leave a margin to cover
depreciation in improvements. He
said all the Western roads had been
partly rebuilt or would have to be
entirely rebuilt soon. This was ne
eessary, he said, that the roads might
meet the demand.? of the public.
“Railroad prosperity is the great-st
single factor In national prosperity,"
he testified. "Railroads, considered as
a single business Interest, are the
largest buyer and the largest bor
rower.”
INSURGENTS CONTROL
KANSAS G. 0. P. COUNCIL
TOPEKA, KAS, Aug. SO.—Insur
gent* were In control when the Kan
sas republican party council convened
here to-day. but despite this It Is pre
dicted a conservatively progressive
platform In national aaffirs will be
adopted.
Whether the radicals want to de
nounce the Taft administration Is a
question, but It is almost certain that
the conservative wing of the progres
sive forces will thrwart any attempt
in thla direction.
Democratic, socialist and prohibi
tionist leaders will also be In council
here to-morrow, but little interest Is
manifested In any save the republican
council.
The republican platform, so far ss
national affaire ar» concerned, wltt
ask a revision of the tariff, endoree
the "good points" of the Taft admin
istration, endorse Insurgent Senator
Bristow and Congressmen Madison
and Murdock, and endorse Senator
Curtis and Congressmen Anthony and
Campbell, regulars, for good Inten
tions.
Speaker Cannon. Senator Aldrich
and Secretary Ballinger will likely
get their share of criticism. The
council Is expected to declare against
the life appointments of United States
Supreme Court judges
