Roanoke Is not wicked city in an
extreme sense. There are more law
abiding church-going citizens in our
city than any other of an equal popula.
ton have ever visited. The morality
OF the city proper sionally Is away above
the average. The religious sentiment
Of our community is best understco cd by
the fact that 81 per cent. of the people
are members Of the different churches.
Yet there is greater amount OF evil in
our city than there ought to be, which
could be greatly lessened IL the laws
were more strictly enforced.
Nov l would respectfully call atten
ton of our city officials to the law, Sec
ton 3s2S OF the code Of Virginia, con-
corning the sale of liquor to minors,
which l have reason to believe Is being
Systematically violated In our city. Also

social barroom WAS arrested for selling
liquor on election day against which

only fined small amount for the State

bound over for trial In court.
The defiance Of law Is probably
greater in the gambling evil than any
other crime. Public morality Is mem
aced by gambling in all It's various
forms. Race track. pool room, policy,
bucket shop, poker, progressive euchre,
progressive whist faro, RS iii as, lotteries,
all of which are against the laws OF Vir-

done your duty.

Sermon to the Soldiers.
At the Second Presbyterian Church
Sunday there was special service for
the Roanoke Light Infantry. The com
psny WAS out In full force and presented
fine appearance. The subject Of the
sermon was Renewed Strength"
(Isaiah 40: 80, 3l). While the young
man is the strongest element and most
vigorous specimen Of life, he needs a
renewal OF strength from the source OF
oil strength and life, in order to perfec t
the event OF his being. The sermon was
most interesting one, and the young
soldier boys showed their appreciation
by paying the strictest attention.

Political Fraud.

The federal authorities in Columbus
and Cincinnati, Ohio. are investigating
an unprecedented political fraud. Dur
ing six weeks Immediately preceding the
recent election two men, whose identity
has not been disclosed, occupied apart
ments at the ChittendeH hotel in Colum-
bus They made judicious selection Of
credulous democrats to whom they wrote
letters containing the alleged informa-
tion that President Cleveland was about
to remove one hundred Of his post
masters and had placed in their hands
the task Of selecting one hundred sue
cessors. who were presumably to be gold
democrats. J. ]. Runyan OF Mount
Gilead was selected as one Of the sue
cessors and he rewarded the disinterest
de proxies Of the president with 500 in
currency for the assurances contained in
three strictly confidential letters. Mr..
Runyan waited reasonable time for his
commission and then called the atten-
ton OF the federal authorities to the fact
that he had been swindled. He first un
burdened himself TO friend, who had
also purchased sI0O worth Of experience.

The Chicago Times Herald Washing
ton correspondent has given out the
following:
II is now possible to give some i'm
portaut news concerning the progress
which President-elect Mckinley has
made in the task OF making up his cabi-
net slate.
1t would be incorrect to say that
Major Mckinley has fully and finally
determined whom he will ask to be his
ministers.
So far only two direct offers OF places
these to Mr.. Hanna. who is not likely to
be in the cabinet at ALL and the other to
Governor Dingley. But the president
elect has practically determined the
composition OF his cabinet, except as to
one or perhaps two places.
Unless he changes his mind, the fol.
lowing will be the Mckinley cabinet
when it is finally announced:
Secretary Of state-John Sherman Of
Ohio.
Secretary OF the treasury-Nelson
Dingley OF Maine.
Secretary of war-Ex-Governor Will
liam r. Merriam o. Minnesota.
Secretary OF the Navy-Cornelius N.
Bliss OF New York.
Attorney general-Nathan Goff Of
West Virginia.
Postmaster general-Henry G. Payne
Of Wisconsin.
Secretary OF agriculture-Judge Way

ers Of any body Of land lying adjacent to
the irrigation system Of the district, the
district to have discretion in the matter
Of granting the enlargement.
Any lands may be excluded from the
district upon petition of the owners pro-
vided the board OF directors decide that
ifs exclusion will not iniure the district.
The principle objection that has been
waged to the bill is the one that was
represented in the contest before the
supreme court. namely that the organiza-
tion Of the district upon the vote Of the
majority Of the land holders Of the dis
trict. compelled those who did not de-
sire the organization to become a part
and contribute to its support.
These objections to the Law were over
ruled by the court on the ground that
the balance Of authority in any com
munity rests with the majority OF the
voters- The minority must submit.
This objection arises from the same
source that makes the work Of the great
irrigation companies failure. Specula-
tors buy land lying under ditch systems
expecting TO hold it for an advance such
~ necessarily follows putting the land
within the reach OF water. and promot-
ing the cultivation Of adjaceut properties.
The speculators do not improve their
lands, and consequently large portion
Of the property to which the company
had calculated to furnish water does not
patronize the company. 1t becomes i'm
possible. therefore, for the company TO
sell sufficient water to make their bitches
profitable.
Under the Wright law everybody who
is favorably affected by the building OF
the irrigation facilities contributes his
pro rata to the building and maintenance
Of the facilities,-Denver Times.
