IT is pity that no act of man
in political life is above the inter-
probation of political move from
men and papers of the opposite faith.
Whether the o.called interference
in the coal settlement by President
Roosevelt emanates from partisan
designs or not he has done what was
nothing more nor less than the plain
duty of any private citizen who had
the means at his command to force o
settlement where nine-tenths of the
people of the United States were
being grievously injured. Should his
efforts meet with success-as there
now seems to be fair indication
or not, we give strenuous Teddy un-
bounded credit.

Observation-Disclosures

Monday was a beautiful day, and
on the green, at Heathsville, was
gathered a very large crowd, come
to attend our regular county court.
What inducement brought them was
a disappointing ole, for very little
OF any general interest went on.
Many came with the expectation of
hearing Hon. w. A. Jones, and some
the plucky Republican-Malcolm A.
Coles-but all were disappointed.
Clty horses and country horses
were up for sale; all day long the cry
went out: slow much am Ibid, gen
t'emen, start me at something" A
few dollars was bid, and the crier
referred the bidders to the owners of
the gallant steeds, guaranteed to be
young aud to work anywhere tried.
Though a dozen or more were for
sale very few were ridded of.
In the court all was quiet. The
honored Judge paced slowly back
and forth before his desk of Justice;
the faithful clerk with rapid pen
sped across the lines of a heavy
record took. In the jury room the
grand jury were examining wit
nesses In the case of Common wealth
VS.. Tom Burrell charged with high.
way robbery. A true bill was BROUGHT

trial at the next term. DESMOND.

force. The first issue Of the Progress
is highly creditable paper, and the
salutatory of the editors gives assur-
ance that the Journal will be val
liable addition to the Northern Neck
newspaper files. We note two items
of particular interest in the leading
editorials-one is that the Progress
will be a paper independent in poll
tics, but not necessarily neutral.
The other is that the paper starts
out just as the new Constitution for
the State is being put into operation,
and its editors see in the purging of
the electorate the time ripe for indie
pendent thought and action.
