we are not in the secret of the Cor

iicly asserted last week by Hen Joi13s

which is composed of white Ulep ara
largely composed of Democrats
But what do these white men in sir-
GINA. who seem to be so much afraid
of the Constitutional Convention, e8-
pect to gain by putting the Republican
party in power? At Delaware, O., on
Saturday last, Senator Hanna, in re
ferring 10 the fact that Booker, Wash
ington had been entertained al \ l'fi-
=
waite dinner by President Roosevelt
said that The Republican party had a.
DAYS been the friend of the colored
race and that, Of course. PRESIDENT
Roosevelt was in accord with his
party. Senator Foraker said that the
colored race was to be congratulated
on the Obvious fact that the people Of
this country had a representative in
the White House who would not draw
the color line He said. that Booker
Washington was qualified TO sit at
i any mans table. and that as the rep
rescntaiiye of n formerly down-trod-
den race 1t was gratifying TO know
that he had obtained such recognition
from the Chief Executive. Governor
Nash said that President Roosevelt
did just right, that the colored race IS
a part Of our people and an important
part, and that politically the incident
at the White House has no Importance
EXCEPT to show that colored people
have friend in the White House.
All of this is significant as showing
that the Republican party is still
counting the negro and that it will
continue to rally the negro vote and
poll it on election-day against the
whites. Let the. Republican parss,
get into power in Virginia and it Will
do all that it can to arouse the ne
groes and organize them against the
whites.
We are not saying this TO infiame
the people. We do not appeal 20 pas-
sion and prejudice. The Times en-
deavors ITO treat all questions conse~va-
lively. But The Times knows that
there can be no peace in this Com
monwealth when there is a spirited
political contest between the whites
and the blacks The rule of the Dem
ocratic party is necessary TO the peace
and good government of Virginia.

The matter is beng discussed privately

The Anti-Saloon League is prepared TO
make a great fight for the resolution in
the Convention ii it ever gets there.
Quite a number of the most prominent
members of the body have signifled their
willingness to support the measure. The
League declares that it would surprise
many people 10 know what q strong
backing it would have in the Convention,
but declines to mention names. The gen

on the reopening of the question before
the committee appears to be that 1t was
not entirely just to them. They feel that
they had won their fight in the commits

MORE ABOUT THE TAX QUESTION.

We print elsewhere q communication
from a correspondent on the subject
OF taxation. We are glad to receive
such communications. and we Wish
that our readers would write more en-
the subject. 1t is n subject which is
now very much in evidence 1t is one
of The most important questions that
the Constitutional Convention has 20
deal with.
We cannot agree, however, with orr
correspondent in his line of argument
or in his conclusions. He makes an
error at the outset in assuming that
note is property and that it ought to be
taxed. Our whole contention has been.
and is. and that is the very kernel of
the principle. that a piece OF property
which is merely an evidence of debt
or an evidence of ownership is not
property. a note is merely the evil
dence of debt, and how any man can
say that 4 debt is property is beyond
our comprehension. Our correspondent
supposes a case We Will suppose one.
A has a thousand dollars in bank upon
which he is assessed in the spring OF
1901 and upon which he pays taxes in
the fall of 1901. But before the as
SCISSOR comes around in 1902 he lends
his thousand dollars to 3, and 3 takes
the money and puts it in bis strong
box to be held for an emergency When
the assessor comes along next Feb
iuary he will assess the money in B's
hands, but should he assess AS note
also: Has any property been created
by this tranSaction2 Has it not been
merely a transfer Of property from
one citizen to another, and is not the
note mere memorandum Of the trans
action? If A had kept his money the
State would have received taxes on
$1,000, but as A transfers his money
to B oul. correspondent contends that
the State should receive taxes on
$1,000.
The whole principle is wrong. The
correct principle is to tax all property
of whatever character, all actual prop
erty once but only once. When VIC
attempt to tax that which represents
property we are trying to tax shadows
and the efforts will be unsuccessful.

This is undoubtedly young mans
age Experience is worth a great deal,
but young men now begin life early
and soon acquire experience. The de-
mand of the age is for young men Of
vim and energy rather than for old
men of experience. Even the churches
prefer young preachers to old preach
ers. But the young man must remem-
Der that by and by they will grow old
and be retired. and, therefore, it is
the part of wisdom for every young
man in his youth and yigor to lay up
something for his old age, so that
when the time for his retirement is
at hand he will not be dependent on
some one else for his LIVELIHOOD
