II it tthe Lodge Federal Election bill be.
comes a law it is to be enforced just as all
other laws are, and to that extent all bills
are "force bills" This assertion then that
this is a force bill' is mere claptrap, intend
ed to mislead and divert the attention of the
people from the real intent Of the law
SPIRIT of the Valley.
Did our contemporary ever hear of Ma
tional Bankrupt law having provision
that troops should be used to enforce it :?
Did it ever hear of an Interstate Com
merce law to which was appended a pro-
vision that the President of the United
States should use the army and navy to
prevent it's violation Did it ever hear of
Reapportionment bill, River and Harbor
bill, a Pleuro-pneumonia bill, a Tariff bill,
Oh any other bill-except Force bill-to
which the provision of bayonets was added.
The present Federal Election Force bill is
not ''as all other laws are" Other laws
are guarded and enforced by the Courts and
their officers. This law is guarded and en-
forced by the bayoneJ
1t is not surprising that our Republican
contemporaries resist the appli cation of the
term Force Bill to the new Federal Election
bill. There is nothing SO repugnant to
the minds Of the people of Republic as
the idea of force in connection with cleo
lions. But unhappily in this case the bill
is ''force bill'' pure and simple, and it's
character is SO plain as hardly to admit of
discussion. Unlike other laws passed by
congress, it authorizes the President
"or such person as he may empower for that
purpose" to ''employ such part of the land
OF naval force'' as "shan be necessary
to prevent the violation or enforce the
due execution" of the provisions of
the bill. The provision for the use
of troops at the polls is, almost verbatim,
the same as that made in the Civil Rights
bill of 1870. If the Lodge bill become law
the troops would be used next November
at the polls precisely as they were when
Virginia was Military District No. 1, and
the ballot would be cast under the shadow
of the bayonet. That our Harrisonburg
contemporary which has made such cour-
ageous and manly fight against the attempt
of William Malone to supervise, count and
certify the primary votes of the Repub-
lican voters of Virginia through his
henchmen, should now be advocating bill
which gives precisely the same power to a
President of the United States over all the
voters thereof, is a matter of surprise to
us. But it's inconsistency does not alter
the fact that the Lodge Federal Election
bill is, and is intended to be, Force Bill
resting on bayonets, and provides
not only for enforcing the law by them, but
also for placing troops at the polls in ad-
vance ''to prevent the violation" of the
law. 1t is hard to realize more monstrous
project, to control for partisan advantage
the suffrage OF free and independent
! people, and pervert it's result at the fancy,
whim OF interest of Federal Supervisors
who are the agents of the party in power.

NOT TO BE DOWNED.

TheStaunton people cannot be called slow
Ihree OF their new Industries got blow
IN the last few days-the finishing house OF
the Furniture Factory burnt; an ammonia
tank at the Ice Factory blew out and car.
rled off part OF the side wall and the roof
and the Shoe Factory through ill luck shut
down. The Furniture Factory directors
the next day got building to go on with
the work in; the Ice Factory was set straight
and went to work the next afternoon and 2
meeting has been called to put the Shoe
Factory on its feet in first class condi.

MR.. TUCKER TO BE RE-NOMINAT

MR.. TUCKER TO BE RE-NOMINATED,
1t is almost superfuous to say that at
the congressional district convention which
meets at Amber st C. III. this morning
Mr.. Tucker will be nominated for second
term. He has earned renewal of the
confidence of the voters of the 10th district,
by the ability he has shown III dealing with
the national questions which have come
before the House, both in his speeches and
his votes, and in the minor duties of rep
resentative OF large and intelligent con-
stituency he has been attentive and faith
full to the interests of that constituency.
We presume he will be re-nominated by
reclamation, which will be a fitting com
pliment, and a proper echo to the almost
unanimous endorsement be has received by
resolutions in the primary meetings.

THE MEN WHO SHOULD Re
THERE

The men, above all others who should be
present at the meeting of the stockholders
OF the staunton Shoe Factory next Monday
morning, are the officers of the Staunton
Development Company, the staunton I'm
provement Co., the West Staunton Land
and Improvement Co., and every other local
company OF that sort. If the Shoe Facto-
ry stops, OF is sold to go to another town,
it will be blow to all their enterprises
which will be heralded abroad and which
will cause them more loss than dozen
shoe factories would cost-indeed it will
check things generally in the way Of en-
terprises.

now n WENT OUT


Mr. John Crossen, who was wafer bound
In Salem, walked TO Albany Tuesday. ar
rivlng at night. He reported the JeEer-
son bridge still standing, but somewhat
unsafe. Mr. Crossen was present when
the FIRST two spans Of ths Salem Lridge
went out Monday afternoon and gives
graphic account OF The scene, one which
stirred Salem TO the center, and caused i'm.
mense excitement there. We are under
many obligalic ms to him for 4 copy Of Tues.
day mornings Statesman, which gives The
following account Of the disaster. 1t Ii the
first outside paper seen 10 Albany since
Saturday
At just twenty minutes 70 two yesterday
afternoon the south one OF the center piers
on the Marion county side swung around
apparently from the bottom, bent and
cracked just above the water Inc and
crashed to the bottom Of the river, follow
ed BY the two main spans Of the big bridge.
The crash was awful. Wafer was thrown
high In the air and III few seconds the
better part Of that costly structure was
floating down with the stream. The boom.
Ing Of the falling bridge was plainly heard
all over town and soon hundreds were
standing on the bank viewing the ruins.
When the pier gave way there were per-
haps hundred people standing under the
trees watching the boiling, foafning water
a. II dashed great logs against the bridge.
The north pier stood half hour swaying
from the immense pressure below, and
then toppled over with mighty noise
The two spans that fell first were 600
feet In length, the east one being 40 and
the center one ago. They fell up stream
and were soon out Of siglf, being carried
quickly with the current.
All afternoon the frame approacli on
the west wae cracking and giving way IN
places. Drift wood caught III II and the
pressure was 80 great by FIVE O'Clock that
Il too gave way and fell with a roar This
left nothing but the west span standing. II
was 400 feet long and was supported by
two piers at either end. II stood the stra IL
until If:4o last night when the iroL and
concrete piers grye way beneath II and IL
too was precipltated into the waters be
meath.
All that 10 left to-day TO tell the story OF
the big free bridge Il the Center street ap
proach and Its two supporting piers The
monument of progress Is shattered-gone.
What remains tells sad story. But Phoc.
nix like a new structure will arise, this
time from the waters instead Of the ashes.
But Il will arise, and Salem Will have
bigger and better bridge than before.
Ben Taylor and @ w Pugh went down
10 Bob Bybec's farm, five miles below Sa-
lem, In small boat yesterday. The most
important thing they found, however was
the two lost spans Of the big Salem bridge.
Il was on Mrs kaiseF's farm, and will stay
there, and be high and dry as soon as the
water goes down. There are several thou
sand doliais' worth Of iron on these spans,
and the city will no doubt look after the
matter at once.

In the oregonlan Of Jan. 5tss-an article
appears stating that proposition Is before
the people Of Salem TO build and operate a
cannery to can fruit and vegetables in that
place. II bonus of $4,000 Is raised. In
this connection II might be well TO see
what the citizens Of Albany are willing to
do In encouraging the cannery already es.
tablIshed In Albany. This eanncry has
been 10 operation two years and has dem.
onstrated that fruits ard vegetables can be
put up at a good profit In Albany. The
only thing necessary 10 make this one Of
the leading industries OF the willamette
VALLEY Is sufficient capital 10 operate on a
large enough scale. There Is no doubt
that such an Institution would make large
returns for the capital invested. Il Is OF
the utmost importance TO the prosperity
OF Albany. Il distributes largc amount
OF money In wages among the people Of
the city and furnishes sure market 10
the farmer for hts fruit and vegetables.
