WRTU0Us BANKERS.

Minnesota bankers have met and
one virtuous act was to denounce their
Governor for pardoning some bank
robbers. Not long since the Governor
of Minnesota pardoned the Younger
boys who had done some bank robbing
up there, and the bankers In meeting
denounced him. The President has
pardoned about fifty bank robbers re-
Gently and not one uncaught and IN
convicted bank officer has had the
nerve, or rather effrontery, to drag
MIN over the Goals on account thereof.
1t makes little difference whether a
roDber robs a bank by one process or
another SO that he robs, but it does
make vast difference whether par.
don be given to man who is bold
enough to hold up the officers at the
point of pistol, or to a man who has
taught Sunday School on the Sabbath
day and from bis position in the hank
stuffed his pockets with other peoples
money during the week. 1t also makes
a vast difference whether pardon be
granted to bank robber by Cover
nor OF a State, or by the President of
the United States. In the one case
the bankers can damn him as a cur. in
the other they would 10 more find fault
than turnkey would kick his master
down the front steps.

WHAT MAY HAPPEN.

lTnere are those who believe thai

This is looking well into the future

1t seems that the positions which
women seek, now held by men. are
those which they seem to think are
nice soft easy jobs The offices are
their goai, not those avocations where
hard work alone counts
AS lawyers women have not nrovan

apparently been or are so, but of the
many women who have been admitted
to he bar in the Western States few
have been heard of thereafter outsia Ia

Difficulty at Hot Springs.

At the Hot Springs in Bath county
on Saturday William A. Dudley. an
overseer, was assaulted and perhaps
fatally wounded by negro named AL.
len Franklin. The assailant fed after
his crime, and when a party started
after him over the mountains the ne
groes in town armed themselves and
started after the fugitive IS pursuers.
So threading was the conduct of the
colored people that 1t was necessary to
organize Sheriff s posse to follow in
the wake of the riotous negroes. At
one time it looked as if d race conflict
were imminent, but later in the day
the negro band was halted, arrested
and disarmed. The fugitive is still at
large and no more trouble is appre-
hended. From tae statement made
by Dudley Monday the difficulty was
caused by him and the negro was not
to blame.

A WoRTHY CANDIDATE.

A WORTHY CANDIDATE.
The attention of the Democrats of
South River is called to the announce
ment in another column of the capdi-
dacy of Hon. John w. Todd forr re cleo
ton to the legislature.
1t is not usually the custom of the
Valley Virginian to take sides in fami-
ly affairs of this nature, but AS there
are two candidates to be nominated we
feel that no injustice is done any one in
saying that we believe that the best
interest of the people of Augusta will
be su bserved in nominating and elect
ing Mr.. Todd as one of our representa-.
tives.
Mr.. Todd served his first term in the
last legislature. Wedo not propose to
advance in his behalf that last resort
of poor excuse that he is ''entitled''
to another term. Because he does not
need that sort of argument. We hap
pen to know that, although a new
member, he took leading position in
the front rank and was throughout the
session man OF force and influence
in the house. AS one evidence of this
he was the only new member that was
several times called to fill the chair in
the speaker g absence
Another reason why Mr.. Todd sh ,uld
receive the support of the people is thu
in the public meeting and conventions
he has time and again done signal SER
vice for the party in meeting and de.
Tending by his keen insight and sagac-
ity measures that were designed to
Illustrate and defeat the wishes of the
people. Even SO late as the recent
convention In Staunton he did splen.
did service in defeating measure on
the floor that WAS anything but what
the people OF the county stood for.
Therefore, in consideration of his ser
vices to the party, his clear sighted,
wise and judicious Judgment, his abil.
ity and efficiency in times of need, we
commend him to the people of Angus
ta as in every way worthy of their coz.
ffdence and support. 1t

There is great effort on the part
of Republicans in this State to create
the impression that THE PEOPLE are
tired of and distrustful of the conven-
ton, The distrust nowhere reaches to
the people, but it does peryade the Re-
publican leaders, and we hope it will
never be otherwise. If that conven-
ton commits one single act pleasing
to the Virginia Republican politician
we will distrust it ourselves. AS
things now stand we have the utmost
confidence in it.

HUDSON RESERVOIR SITE
Bed Rock Borings Completed and Re-
 port Submitted.

MT. Arthur P. Davis of Washington, D. C., chief hydrogapher of the |. S. geological survey, and under whom the borings for bed rock both at the Me Dowell reservoir site and the Hudson reservoir site have been prosecuted, arr rived here yesterday morning and Is registered at the Commercial hotel.
 Wh n seen by a reporter for The Re publican yesterday he said thas the work dt ths Hudson reservoir site had been completed fullyp so far as the bsd rock hoiinES are concern q. though the surveys will not be finished til about the latter part of the month Natu- rally tHc inst lnquEy was re'a.ire to the result Ct the exploration work. To this question Mr. Davis replied that he had reportsd d fully to the Maricopa water storage commissioners relative to the reyu.t of the borings. and that they had deemed it for the best inter ests of he county to refrain from pub lici.y at the pr sent time. He was ther fore not in a position 10 make a statement. He did say, however. that four lines of prospect holes had been run across the canyon from one rock ribbed bank to the other, ani tha work of boring to bed rock in all in- stances carefully and thoroughly done. so 10 say the least, the water commis- sioners know what exists at the Hud- son site as well as at the McDow | site. The commissioners will have a meeting today for consideration of MT. Davis report.
 MT. w. F. Jones. the drill expert, has gone to his hone in Des Moines to visit his family. MT. F. c. Hamii- ton has been ordered 10 the AdiTon- dacks to do some typographical work, and NJ ssTs.
