The New York Hercd Of yesterday was
not only very complimentary TO the New
York Times under ITS new management,
but reproduced upon Its own editorial
page all Of the editorial matter which ap-
peared in the first issue of the Times under
Nessrs. MILLER and SPINNEY. For more
than one reason We suspect that this was
done by the personal direction OF JANIS
GoRDON BENNETT himself.
The Times is courteous and clean able
and interesting, and we have always liked
It; but now that it il pronounced Demo
cratic paper and MILLER and SPISNEY arc
its chief officers We shall love it--while we
may beg leave to differ with it from time
to time.

We devote a whole floor to
BOYS CLOTHING.

We have good reason to believe that
the boys would rather get their clothes
from Us than from any other house in
town. We make q study of their wants
and try TO please them. They like our
clothes because they are stylish, neat,
and good. They want them because
they fit better and look better than
clothes worn by boys who do not get
them HERE
The mothers like them, TOO, and not
without cause. There's wear and service
woven in every suit we sell. No ripping
in the seams and no popping OF OF the
buttons. They like our prices. They
show them TO be lower than at any other
store in town.
SCHOOL SUITS that will wear like
leather, 81. so, SO, and 49, No better
value ever offered than in these lines.
Made of materials which are easily kept
clean, will hold their color, and will
stand the rough, hard wear to which
boys subject them. They're the kind OF
suits boys should have.
FINE, DRESSY, and HANDSOME
LY-MADE SUITS in large variety.
Our BETTER STYLES. our BET
TER FABRICS, our BETTER TAIL
ORING, and our reasonable prices hold
the trade of all who know them. You
who have never bought them would
thoroughly appreciate what difference
there Is between the ordinary kinds and
the kind WE sell. Suits for all sizes and
ages-2I to 16-suits for the tall boys
and suits for the stout boys. Any style
you want. You get honest value whether
you buy a 81 or 80 one. Look through
the variety, look at the workmanship,
consider the price.
You'll not be satisfied unless your boy
has one.

TEE YIReINIA nEBr.

Gov. MAcCOBKLE's recent letter IN
the Virginia debt question IN which ne
claims to prove that West Virginia
owe no portion of it whatever, is the
subject of considerable comment pro
and con in the State press. II
was commented upon in the REG
1sTER when first published, the
REGISTER holding that the Governor
was not justified in his sweeping as
sertlon that West Virginia owes DO
portion OF the debt Of the mother State,
though the letter Of the law seems to
bear him out.
Since, however, there is decided Vari-
ance of opinion on the subject, the
only way to settle the matter is to go to
work as o as possible to find out
whether we owe anything or not. The
question must be settled by conference
and investigation in the end, and
the sooner it is so settled and the
amount, II any, owing by West
Virginia agreed upon, the better
for everyone concerned. West Virginia
will not repudiate whatever may be her
just share Of the debt, although there
is certainly nothing approaching the
sum arbitrarily set aside as her portion
by the Virginia Legislature. II we owe
nothing let us investigate and make
sure Of it. L we owe something let Us
find out the amount and as sOO as pos
sible shut of the London and Wall
street spectators who do nothing
ing but injure the state and its rep
utatiOn.

The bride, a beautiful Virginia girl, is a
daughter of Col. H. Clay Whiting, a well
known banker Of Hampton. She IS de-
scribed as a perfect brunette, with dark
wavy hair, a skin Of clear olive, and tea-
lures charmingly piquant. In her bearing
she is quite uueenlv. She is a bright and
ACCOMPLISHED woman, one of the most pop
ular bellies in Virginia, and is well known
in Washington society, where she has
often visited and spent some time.
Charles James Faulkner was born IN
Virginia in 1877. His father being Minis
ter 10 France in $50, his entire education
was received in the schools of Paris and
Switzerland. In '6l he returned TO the
United States, when he entered the Uni
versitv of Virginia, from which he gradu-
ated in '6S and was admitted to the bar the
same year. ,oo
he commenced his public career in so,
when he was elected Judge OF the Ihlr-
teenth Judicial Circuit. He was elected
10 the United States Senate as a Democrat
and took his seat in 'S7. In 1913 he was re-
elected.
Thirty FIVE apartments have been en-
gagged by Senator Faulkner at the Hygela
Hotel, at Old Point, to accommodate the
bridal party from Washington. Besides
prominent social leaders in Virginia Who
will witness the ceremony, there will be
visitors from New York. Maryland and
many other States. The Senator's friends
at the National Capital will possibly come
TO Old Point on one Of the government
launches. After their wedding the newly
welded couple will leave for an extended
trip.

GOVERNMENT MADE POSTAGE
STAMPS.

6AAEES.
There is a proposition before Con-
gress Je equip the Bureau Of Engraving
and Printing with 0 special plant for
the printing Of postage stamps for
the government to manufacture its
own stamps and do away with the
present contract system.
The Washington Post strongly OPP
poses the change on the ground that it
will be another step toward paternal-
ism and monopoly in the government
aud does mot believe it wise or just for
the government to become any more Of
a manufacturing monopoly than IL is
necessarily compelled TO be, or to place
itself In an attitude Of ~antagonism to
the individal citizen, thereby crushing
out industrial competition and discour-
aging private investment. We have
~Uaternalism enough as it is.
'If the government is to undertake
the making of its own postage stamps,
Why not undertake the manufacture OF
an its supplies; not only for the Post
Office Department, but for every other
department? Why not start cordage
factories for the making Of rs Irvine,
shops for tbs making Of its mailbags,
mills for the making Of its paper? Let
the whole Potomac flats be covered with
emblems Of %paternallsm in the shape Of
the various hives ~oftndustry that Uncle
Sam may need for his departmental
use"
That there is truth and sound Demo-
cratic doctrine in this is beyond Ques-
ton; it would mean a large increase in
the number of government officials and
employees, which 1t is always best to
avoid. There is another side to the
question: Could the government save
money by making its own stamps? 1t
now pays ~ cents a thousand for the
ordinary stamp. Would the manufac-
.turer of them by the government save
any considerableSum to the taxpayers?
Tit would there might be some small
excuse for it's adoption; but those who
know anything about the working Of
the great government printing Office
will laugh at the suggestion that the
government could do this work for
itself cheaper than it is now being done
by private contract. Besides, as the
Post SAYS, we have quite enough Of
~paternalism as 20 is.
