TELEPHONES.
TUESDAY,
To-DAY,S ELECTION.

TO-DAY,S ELECTION.
in which Congressional elections will be
held to-day. The polls will be open from
sunrise to sunset None but those who
have registered under the provisions of
The new Constitutions can vote, and on the
registration books the whites outnumber
the blacks about ten to one.
For the first time in thirty-five years
there Is absolutely no cause for fear that
the negroes will step in at some un-
guarded pointer anywhere else-and win
a victory. Nor is there any need for
shortcut election methods, and 1t is
agreed that none will be tolerated.
Nevertheless the Dispatch. and Chair
man Ellyson. and all other good and
active party men. very earnestly desire
TO see a substantial vote cast. In the
nature OF things II is not to be expected
that the vote In city or country either will
be so large as It was in the days Of un-
restricted suffrage. but inasmuc, as the
most intelligent and trustworthy class
lighted to see that they appreciate the
privilege that Is theirs. We now have
fine body Of voters in this State, and we
have the right to expect of them the
ztrictest and most Dunctilous discharge
of their duty at the polls. They should
consider themselves in honor bound to
come out to-day and cast their initial
votes under the Constitution of 1902 in Or
Ger to make the election impressive and
iuccessful.
Whilst registration was in progress
throughout the State public meetings of
colored people were held in some counties
and cities with the view Of raising funds
to contest the validity of the new Consti-
tuition. Their speakers said the Constitu-
ton was null and void and of no effect
For that, among other reasons. thousands
of negroes did not offer to register Some
Of them were property holders, who would
have had no understanding examina-
ton to undergo. And now it is given out
that in some localities, and even of the
few who did register. many will not vote.
Clearly the object Of those who are lead
ing these voters is to discredit the new
Constitution as much as possible. hoping
st will have an evil effect upon the House
of Representatives. where it is possible
the first test Of the Constitution may be
attempted And SO while we cannot claim
and do not intimate that our nominees
are in danger OF defeat at the polls. we
do insist that the Democrats Of Virginia
owe It to the trainers Of the Constitution
and to themselves and to our nominees
to come out to-day and poll a large
vote
Most voters resent the idea Of going
to The polls when there is no great contest
on, but here is case where good sound
party policy and obvious public duty re- |
quire us to turn out just as If Lamb and |
Jones, Maynard. southall Swanson. Glass,
Hay, Rixey. Rhea. and Flood were hard
pressed by their competitors.
So We say to our friends come out and
vote and give dignity and credit to the
elecdon-and let Richmond and Manches-
Ter. Henrico and Chesterfield, lead all the
rest

For years railroad men all over the

to England, and several times to Homo

LITERARY NOTES.
Roosevelt on War of 1872.

President Roosevelt in his chapter on
The War of 1s12-15," in Volume VI, of
Cloves history of the Royal Navy"
published in this country By Little,
Brown & Co., of Boston. speaks of Ameri-
cas- unpreparedness. as follows:
Had America possessed a fleet of
twenty ships of the line, her sailors could
have piled their trade unmolested: and
the three years of war; with its loss in
blood and money, would have been avoid
ed. From the merely monetary stand
point such navy would have been the
cheapest kind of insurance; and morally
its advantages would have been meal
culable. for every American worth the
name would have lifted his head higher
because of its existence. But unfOrtun-
ately the nation lacked the wisdom to see
this. and it chose and re-chose for the
Presidency Thomas Jefferson, who avowed
that his passion was peace and whose
timidity surpassed even his philanthropy.
Both Britain and America have produced
men of the peace at any price pattern;
and in America, in one great crisis, at
least these men cost the nation more in
blood and wealth, than the political lead
ers most recklessly Indifferent to war
have ever cost it. There never was a bet
ter example of the ultimate evil caused
by timid effort to secure peace through
the sacrifice of honor and the refusal to
make preparations for war, than that af-
forded by the American people under the
Presidencies of Jefferson and Madison"
The Washington times., 1902-02-09
LITERARY GOSSIP.
Juvenile Historical Fiction.

One of the comparatively newcomers in
the field of historical juvenile literature
is John Preston True, author OF The
Iron Star Scouting for Washington.
''Morgan's Men etc. Mr.. True is con-
nected with the educational department
of a large Boston publishing house. As
his daily duties consume the greater por-
tion Of his time, he devotes the half
hour consumed in riding back and forth
between the small town in which he re-
sides and Boston to making notes to aid
him in his literary work. Then one even
ing each week he sits down at his own
typewriter with his notes before him, and
when he rises one more chapter has been
added TO his manuscript. Mr. True takes
infinite pains to keep close 10 history, an l
yet not let the history swallow up his
story. No chapter is regarded as fin
ished until reference books have been un-
tiringly consulted. His fidelity to both
real and probable history has given his
books a high standing with the educators
of the young. The tone of his books is
thoroughly American, and thoroughly
patriotic, but he believes In being equally
thoroughly just. He refrains from twist
ing the lions tail. so that in his RevCiu-
tionary stories ample justice is done to
the British side. Mr.. True sprang into
prominence through his book published
by Little, Brown d Co, entitled The
Iron Star, an ingenious little story
showing the child how man has de
veloped from the days of primitive say
agery. This book, which has been
adopted for use in hundreds OF public
schools, was followed by Scouting for
Washington" a story of the days of
Sumter and Tarleton, and last fall his
''Morgan's Men" was published. The lat
ter is a sequel to Scouting for Washing
ton, and contains the adventures Of
Stuart Schuyler. captain of cavalry in the
Revolution. The illustrations are by Mrs.
Ruthor.

Lilies for Amateurs.

! Another garden book of rare interest
| from the pen OF Gertrude Jekyll author of
Wall and Water Gardens" is Just pub
lished by the Scribners under the title
Lilies for English Gardens" 1t is, as its
subtitle states. "a guide for amateurs ."
1T must be understood" says Miss
Jekyll in her introduction, that this is
merely an amateurs $ hand book; a simple
guide to those who wish to grow Lilies in
English gardens. Several Lilies known to
exist are not named in 1t, either because
they are of secondary Importance in our
gardens or because they are scarce or
tender or little known. They concern the
bOtanist, whose business it is to know
and to classify everything; they scarcely
concern the gardener whose interest II is
to know what Lilies will best grace his
garden.
THE present writer and compiler, who
has been a working amateur for thirty
years. has keenly felt the want of a short,
concise illustrated handbook, such a
book as will just tell amateurs in the
plainest way what they are most likely to
want to know about Lilies. Such book
has therefore been prepared In the form
of the present volume. in which the infor-
nation has been condensed and put as
shortly as possible for greater simplicit.
and ease of reference.
There are sixty-three ull-page illus
trations of the SORT that satisfy because
they inform. and the nineteen chapters
not only describe Lilies but deal in a
sensible. Informing way with the problems
that face amateur growers, including the
diseases of Lilies and the way to treat
