The War of the Future.

If we are to have war here after ii
must be war so arranged that no one
can regret it.
1t must be war in which no one can
be hurt, and all wounds or death being
in violation of regulations, must be in
veStigated by Congressional commit.
tee
There must be an abundance of food,
and it must be of the most varied char.
acter.
Water must be Apollinaris water, ex-
clusiveiy furnished in ice bottles.
Eggs must be Laid on the table" at
every meal.
Men must not be permitted to over
tax themselves.
Guard duty must be performed by
some electric continuance. Soldiers
must all be kept within a climate to
which they have been accustomed.
All campaigns must be arranged af-
ter the summer heat before the winter
cold, and all rains must be forbidden.
Transportation by sea must be ar
ranged only in calm. as seasickness
unnerves soldier as it does a private
citizen.
In other words, war, instead of being
long tragedy, must be a long, sweet
song; regular honeymoon. in fact,
and soldiers must be encouraged to en-
list in the same regiment as their wives.
If they are not married they must be
ordered to marry.
Instead Of forced marches, trolley
lines must be constructed ahead of the
army, under some International agree
ment. Assaults must be bloodless. an !
any nation using anything but blank
cartridges and smokeless powder
should be excluded from bena fit of
clergy.

Mr.. R. S. Turk,

Staunton, Va.
Dear Sir -
| have been watching the "Specta
tor" since you began to publish it daily
with much interest, and am SO favor
ably impressed with it, ] am moved tt
write and tender you my congratul
ations upon the neatness of the sheet
and the amount of good, fresh, clean
reading matter it contains. l think ii
is second to no other daily paper pub
lished in the State, and verify believe
if the good people in the Valley of Vir-
GINA and in counties contiguous to
Staunton, will sustain it with their pat.
ronage, it will be greater factor in
the upbuilding of that magnificent part
of the Old Dominion, than any other
source that can possibly be employed.
A paper, such as the Daily Spectator, u
going to all parts of the country, read
by passengers touring the country, and
daily by your many intelligent re iders
tends to keep before the public our in
exhaustible resources, and will most as
suredly result in inviting capital for
local investment. In I'd lition to this,
your readers will have the satisfaction
of having an exponent of their varied
interests, always ready to de fend their
section in both political and material
matters.

at is true this may not be the result.
Solicitors may not prosecute, the execu-
tive may pardon or the Legislature may
condone; but with this have nothing to
do. Upon the special verdict rendered
in this case. and in view of the excep-
tional circumstances that force them
selves upon our attention, ] think that
the defendant should be held not guilty
purely upon the ground of intent. This
would end the matter. as hereafter there
could be no honest mistake. As this
court has now, held that free transDor-
tatin of the excepted classes is vio-
lation of the act, no matter under what
form or device it may be given, the mere
performance of the act will hereafter be
demeed conclusive evidence of its guilty
intent.
/ am aware that in arriving at my
conclusions, / have been forced to ignore
some Of the general rules Of judicial con
struction, but under the exceptional cir
cumstances appealing so strongly to my
Judgment, / do not feel that we should
permit the bar sinister of an iron clad
rule of Interpretation to lie in cold OBJ
struction across the conscience of the
court"
