MIR. Lyle, of Roanoke, yesterday offer
ed resolution In the House that 100

rectors of the penitentisry is directed

to accommodate at least 400 prisoners.
The resolution went to committee.
Governor Montague expresses him.
:elf in favor of using convicts to work

might result In q litigation by the

HON. ADLAI E. STEVENSON 10 q re-
cent letter points the way to new
democrs tic victory by recalling how all
tbe later triumphs of the party nave
beeo won. He cites the Tilden plat
form OF 1875 as a suitable model TO
build upon IN 1904;
I'VE denounce the present tariti
levied upon nearly four thousand ar
tioles ss a masterpiece OF injustice, ln'
equality and false pretence. IL yieids
a dwindling, not yearly rising, reVe-
nue.. 1t has impoverished many To-
dustries TO subsidzs few. 1t promo

nyoducts of American labor. 1t pro-
notes fraud, fosters smuggling, enricnes

est merchants. We demand that all
custom house taxation shall be only for
revenue"
Ia commenting upon this letter the
Philadelphia Record says:
"In repeating taxes that put money
ia the Treasury and retaining taxes
that put money into the pockets oil Ia
vored monopolists the republican party
ia again. as after the civil war, prepar-
ing the way for its own downfall. Inc
democratic party needs only to keep
faith with itself and abandon its wan
derings after strange gods In order 10

pest during the past week in the form
of rabbits, especially in the young

that the rabbits, being forced by hunger
while the snow was 90 the ground, dis
covered food In the tender bark OF the
young trees, and literally stripped the
bark from many of the trees for dis

The tRigs and branches within their
reach fell a prey to their voracious ap-
petites. The young apple trees are
also considerably damaged By their
onsIaughts, but less than the pear trees,
many OF which are ruined. Rose bushea
and grspevines hsye suffered equally
az much, being cut to pieces, and the
damage throughout the lower pait oil
the county is very great.
