HAVE MAJORITIEs ANY RIGHTS !

Much is being said and written now
a-days on the rights Of minorities
while those of majorities are lost sight
of. This nation is one Of majOrities.
Mr.. Mckinley is majority President.
Virginia is governed by a majority, and
so is the town Of Farmville.
Reverse this order of things aud
chaos follows. The dog wagged by
his tail would be a monster dog. II
the river and harbor bill was de-
serS ing one it should not have been
talked TO death in the closing hours Of
the Senate. As much as we oppose The
ship subsidy measure better that it
should have been passed by a majority
vote than that a minority should die
tate to a majority.
Are majorities, then to tamely sub
NIT to continued outrage and wrong?
Not at all. The right Of resolution Is
a sacred right, and whenever "forbear-
ance ceases to be virtue" it can be
appealed to, but in the everyday and
ordinary affairs of life IS must aud
should continue to beat7.
Any other rule leads at last to one
man power, and though at times the
shadow Of an empire has fallen over our
way as people, it has not as yet set
tied on us, and may never if we follow
in the paths Of our fathers and are gov.
erned 10y fairly enacted and just laws.

THE KIND OF RELIGION WE WANT.

We want religion that sOftens the
steps and turns the voice to melody
and fills the eye with sunshine and
checks the impatient exclamation and
harsh rebuke; religion that Is polite,
deterential to superiOrs, considerable
to friends; religion that goes into the
familya keeps the husband from be-
ing cross when dinner is late and keeps
the wife from fretting when the nus
band tracks the newly-washed floor
with his boots and makes the husband
mindful of the scraper and the door
mat; keeps the mother patient when
the baby is cross and amuses the chill
dren as well as instructs them; cares
for the servants besides paying them
promptly; projects the honeymoon into
the harvest-mOOn and makes the happy
home like the eastern fig tree, bearing
on its bosom at once the tender bios
som and the glory of the ripening fruit.
We want religion that shall interpose
between the ruts and gullies and rocks
OF the highway and the sensitive souls
that are travelling over Helpful
Thoughts.
Yes, we want it in Farmville; on our
streets, in our stores, and offices, and
factories, and homes and churches.
With such religion our dark days
would be bright days, and our disap-
victories.

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM MIR, CAR.
NEGIE-

at is not permitted the children of
king, millionaire and noble to have
father and mother in the close and
realizing sense Of these sacred terms.
The name Of father and the holier name
Of mother are but names to the child
of the rich and noble. To the poor how
these are the words he conjures with
his guides, the anchors of his soul, the
objects Of his alteration. Neither nurse.
servant governess nor tutor has come
between him and his parents. In his
father he has had tutor companion.
counselor and Judge. 1t is not given
to the born millionaire, noble or prince
to dwell upon such heritage as is his
who has had in his mother nurse
seamstress, teacher inspirer, saint-his
all In all.u
The wonder is that a man who
thinks and writes that way has had
time to accumulate millions.

Yes, this Is emphatically the day OF
young men aud they have the fright of
way aud yet we are of opinion that
it would have been the proper and
modest thing on the part Of Attorney
General Montague and Congressman
Swanson to have waited few years
longer before aspiring to Virginia's
highest position. This is said In kind
ness. We admire these young gentle
men and appreciate their talent, but
having snug berths already they could
have waited little longer. Nor does
this mean that we will not earnestly
support the nominee.

From reports received from the diff
ferent counties of the state it is evident
that the convention will be composed
largely Of material already familiar to
the legislative halls Of Virginia. The
fact is it seems to us a great big farce
to hold an election at all. 1t would
have been cheaper to have perpetua;ed
the services of the recent Legislature,
and to have given into Its keeping all
convention matters.

The assassination of President
Mckinley furnished pointed sugges-
ton TO the publishers of anarchistic
newspapers to express their senti-
ments. Johann Most, one of the
most virulent of this pestiferous
gang, now lies in durance vile by
reason of his temerity in the premi-
ses. He was given sentence Of I
year in state prison for publishing a
seditious article in his paper in New
York City on the day following the
assassination ofthe President. The
article was expressive of approval of
the removal of rulers by assassina-
ton. Most, in his defense, asserted
that the article was not his produc-
ton, that it was first published fifty
years ago and again fifteen years
ago and that he had simply repeated
it. He refused however to disclaim
sympathy with the sentiment expires
ed. The Italian government has
lately performed an act of kindly
consideration to America in suppress
sing the anarchist periodical, Agita-
zione, at Rome for publishing an ar
ticle in approval of the assassination
of Mckinley. The Hudson True
Republican suggests that anarchist
newspapers may readily be killed by
denying them the use of the mails
and cites in evidence the case of the
lotteries which were quickly sup
pressed by this process.

Theodore Roosevelt is not presi-

of the bosses, nor was he influenced
to accept the vice presidency against
his win by process of party leaders.
The s'machine" has never advanced
him to any position of eminence.
The sheer force Of public opinion
compelled his nomination to the
governorship of the Empire State
and to the vice presidency. No
man has been advanced to exalted
station with less wire pulling and
conditions than Roosevelt. In no
respect is he bound by promises or
obligations to subserviency to dicta-
tons Of the machine bosses. His
popularity is based upon solid merit
and his power comes from the might
of the people in union Of sentiment.
Because of the fact that he possesses
in an eminent degree the grand and
admirable qualities of integ rity and
courage the masses give him conf
dence and support. He is the kind
Of a leader the people trust and will
follow to victory or defeat, but with
such a leader and with such support
defeat is scarcely possible. Firm
in his conviction that the people are
behind him in the omnipotence Of
their might he may defy the menace
of the bosses and laugh at the futile
ratings of snobbery. A little Incl
dent has recently occurred at the
White House that shows the indie
pendence and common-sense charac-
teristics of the new president. De-
string to learn something of the con
ditions Of the colored people IN the
south he invited Booker Washing
ton, the most eminent colored man
in America, to meet him at lunch,
remarking that this was the only
time he had for conversation. This
was purely business question with
not particle of sentiment in it but
it has caused much unfavorable COM
ment among the few remaining I'M
reconcilables in the south. Some
southern newspapers threaten 10

Concerning these adverse criticisms
dispatch from Washington states
that the President is "amused"-
