DIR. sHELpON's NOMINATION.

Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon, of To-
peka, Kan, has been nominated for
Congressman-at-Large by the Allied
Peoples party of his State. If he is
elected he will advocate q number of
reforms which will be in conformity
with his general idea of "What Jesus
would do" were He member of the
lower branch of the National Con-
gress. 1t is known that Mr.. Sheldon
never performs other than duty of
routine nature without first asking
himself and answering the question,
"What would Jesus do?" and he has
told his friends that his answers to
this question shall govern his con-
duct as national legislator.
The author of ain His Steps" did
not enter the coatest because of the
power and fame it would be possible
to achieve in the place he seeks, but
because he is sincere in attempts to
reform the system Of legislation.

FIGHT WITH q, rERMEN.

week when a large number of armed
oyster pirates rescued one of their
number from Oyster Inspector Sin.
clair, who had arrested him for a
violation of the oyster law. Mr.,
Sinclair has appealed to the Board of
Fisheries for aid and protection.
The infractions of the law by
unlicensed oystermen have been
fragrant, and the inspector has been
kept working night and day trying
to enforce the provisions of the law.
lie arrested an oysterman in whose
boat he found oysters of all sizes,
and was preparing to convey the
prisoner to Warwick county for trial
when he was surrounded by the boats
of the mans companions. Probably
seventy-five men armed with VIM
chesters and pistols surrounded his
canoe and demanded the release of
their comrade.
Under the circumstances there was
nothing for him to do but let the
man SO. When their comrade had
been released the men told the in
spector that they were prepared for
trouble, and that they proposed to
take oysters il any way they pleased,
bidding defiance to Virginia oyster
laws and inspectors alike.
All the men were engaged In
"roughing" oysters, and were below
the Gull line. The inspector is of
the opinion that they were Mary
landers, as all were unlicensed.
Two oyster police boats have been
placed at Inspector Sinclair's dis
posal. These boats are manned with
crews supplied with Winchesters, and
most of the boats have rapid fire
guns.

Pot Hunters and Game Laws

Pot Hunters and Game Laws.
The season is now at hand when
the pot hunter gets his gun and, in
defiance of the game laws, goes after
quail not yet grown and so weak of
wing that they have small show to
escape any shot who can hit barn
door.
Year after year this illegal
slaughter goes on and year after year
sees the law equally impotent, while
the birds dwindle in number and
legitimate sportsmen find hunting
hardly worth the while. No effort
seems to be made to bring the guilty
parties to justice, and fines for violat-
ing the game laws are as rare as the
proverbial hens teeth.
Nor are the pot hunters wholly to
blame. The gourmands who want
quail on toast out of season and the
restaurateurs who cater to their ap-
petites are jointly responsible with
the pot hunters for this illegal
slaughter.-Norfolk Viryinian-P Pilot.

SOME SUFFRAGE PHASES.

If you do not want to register Just
let it go. That is a mans privilege,
as it is also his privilege to be fool
IN other respects.-RichmoRd Times.
Virginia's problem Just now is not
so much how to keep out the sort of
citizen that ought not to vote as how
to get the citizen who ought TO vote
to hold on to the franchise.-Norfolk
Landmark.
A careful reading of section 2 of
the ordinance seems to warrant the
registration of a voter at any time
before October 18th that the board
chooses to act. When a name is
once put on by the board before that
date, it will stay there.
What shall be said of the man who
has so little appreciation of the God
given rights of freedom that he
would deliberately disfranchise him.
self, put himself voluntarily in the
class of the ignorant and vicious,
whom the State has decreed are not
tit to exercise the right of suffrage?
Portsmouth Star.
Most of the negroes in Norfolk
and the Eastern Shore who succeeded
in registering did so under the clause
of soldiers. Senator LeCato, speak
ing of Accomac, said ave have an
unusual state Of affairs in that section
of the State. During the war Acco-
mac was overrun with soldiers, and
as result there were several hundred
negroes who enlisted in the Federal
army. There are about so per cent
of the negroes who can register in
the Eastern Shore counties under
this provision, which allows the
soldiers and their sons to register.
a young negro presented himself at
the polls and asked to be registered
on his understanding of the Consti-
tuition. The board took him up on
the homestead exemption section and
asked him what was meant by home
stead exemption. 'It means dat help
Is to be given to dishonest man to
keep from paying his debts That
was not exactly what the board was
looking for, but he had the idea cor
rect enough to suit the board and he
was accepted"

The Coming Industry.

The canning industry of Virginia
is growing all the time, but it is not
carried on as extensively as condi-
tons justify. The canning industry
has two-fold benefit, it benefits
those who run the factory, for it is
a paying industry, and it benefits the
farmers who supply the raw material.
We can produce on our Virginia
lands, especially in this part of the
State, all sorts of vegetables suitable
for canning purposes, and the crop
comes in ahead of the standard crops
and gives the farmers little ready
money in midsummer.-Richmoad
