Congressman Simpson should be elated

Mr.. Van Allen ''has paid the freight"

say about the matter.
It's said that there's an end of COM
promise talk in Washington. but all
this talk has seriously compromised the
Senate with the people.

Still, as Speaker in Washington he was

Times change, and men change along
with them. A few years ago only Eds
mund w. Hubbard. of Buckingham, and
W. G. Pendleton, of Wythe were leading
speakers in the Republican party, and
the former was candidate for the party
nomination to Congress. o-day both
of them are making speeches for the

The New York World says: 1.-The
most efficient cause in the prevention of
crime is public opinion operating as the
common sense of the community" This
shows that the World knows as little
about the prevention of crime among
the negroes of the South as it, or any
other northern newspaper, does about
the true condition of any other south
ern matter. Public opinion has no de-
terrent effect upon the criminal actions
of negroes, and the particular crime for
which most of them suffer death shows
that they are not susceptible to the in
fuence of common sense.

Republican chicken which has come
ONE to roost. 1t is. therefore, sheer
Dwardice and dishonest for Republicans
charge their own shortcomings to
emocratic misrule and the pretense is
shallow that the wayfairing man,
ough fool, will not be deceived

Once more three cheers for the Vigil

dictated her right to carry the Stars and
Stripes as the representative of Amer
lea against Great Britain. The race
Monday was superb spectacle. Wind
and water combined to make perfect
day for enthusiastic yachtsmen. .Anoth-
err great multitude of patriots went down
to the sea in every kind of craft that
would carry passengers to see the Wig
liant administer a second defeat to the
Valkyrie. They saw splendidly sailed
match and gratifying victory for
America.
The two tests that have been made
prove beyond doubt that the Yankee
Yacht is the better boat in a fair day,
either with light breezes or steady winds.
Now let us hope that the next trial may
be made with the gale whistling through
the rigging and and the tossing waves
making things lively! We want to give
the gallant owner of the stanch Valkyrie
chance to beat the Vigilant in rough
weather as well as fair, if he can do it;
