The newspapers of the North, with
scarcely an exception, are taking much
interest IN what they term President
Rooseyelts Southern policy, and the
majority of them, Republican and
Democratic alike, are favoring and en-
oouraging If, although they frankly adj
nit that there is very little hope that
it will break the political solidIty of
the South within the next five or ten
years. They favor II, however, on
the ground that If will bring about
healthier and better conditions; rid
the Republican party in the South of
the leadership of unfit and disreput-
able men and its domination by ignor-
ant and unscrupulousne gro politicians
The consensus of opinion among Re
publican newspapers is that if the Pre-
sident's Southern policy,as outlined, is
carried to its logical conclusion the Re-
publican party II this section of the
country will be purged of undesirable
elements and made so respectable that
III the course of time it will win the
support of the better class of citizens
whose self-respect will not now allow
them to affiliate with it.

SHOULD RESCUE MISS STONE.

The case of Miss Stone, the American
missionary now in the custody of Bull
garian bandits, who threaten to murder
her or marry her to one of their num-
Der unless they receive $4,000 within
a stated slime, is attracting general at
tention, and creating in some quarters
some excitement. We fail to see the
wisdom of paying a ransom for her.
1t would be n bad precedent which
would have an evil effect. 1t is not
probable that any Bulgarian or other
vulgsrian will marry her, though it is
entirely possible that she may be MUIR
dered A missionary who invites dan
ger should not fear death. The Gov
eminent should make every effort to
rescue this woman and in case of her
death, it should see the proper steps
are taken to punish her murderers and
should demand from the responsible
authorities such reparation as the cir
cumstances seem to warrant. Citizens
of other countries, notably citizens of
Italy, have been murdered by mobs in
this country, and for these payment

effort should be made to rescue Miss
Stone not because she is missionary
but because she is an American citizen,
thought she has long made her home
in the Balkan region.

THE RECENT TAX DECIsIoNs.-The
Court of Appeals recently rendered 9
fiual decision In the case OF a. +.
Thomas against the Commissioner
for the city Of Lynchburg. Under
a special ordinance, adopted by
the Lynchburg city council, the
the capital employed in new industries
was exempt from taxation for local
purposes, the only tax imposed upon
such corporations being license tax.
The effect of the decision ia to deny to
the city the power under its charter 10
make any exemption from taxation and
thus annuls the special ordinance indi'
Gated. II further denies the power 10
the city to tax manufacturing compa.
MES under the license tax system, and
holds that such companies must DC
taxed by an ad vslorem tax on the
capital invested 10 such business. The
court accordingly annuls the provision
of the general tex ordinance Of the city
of Lynchburg imposing license tax on
manufacturing establishments. and
holds that such establishments must DC
assessed for tsxalion with a property
or ad yalorem tax. The principle thu
lsid down applies to the entire State
and will settle a question that has Ions
been q source of trouble and contention
In many communities. This decision Il

Virginia constitution which provides

was the adoption Of section to the re-
port of the committee on legislative de-
partments providing for the inspection
of the books of State and county OIL
cers.
The fifteenth section OF the report,
which relates to the impeachment OF
ce rtain officers for Standardization,
had been passed without amendment,
when Mr.. Thornton offered the follow
ing resolution to an ordinance preced-
ing section 10:

regular session thereof, appoint stand
ing com mittee, consisting OF two mem
bers of the Senate and three members
of the House OF Delegates, which sh u

accounts OF the first and second audi
tor. the State treasurer and the secre-
tary OF the commonwealth and report
the result of these investigations to the
gov ernor, and annually publish the
same 10 two newspapers OF general cir
culation 10 the State.

fered and rejected, Mr.. Thornton's
