OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

The Norfolk Virginian-Pict is not
pleased with the work of the Lesisla-
ture. Our contemporary says:
1T seems to US that it is rather
humiliating confession for the General
Assembly to make that after a conven-
ton has framed and ordained a new
Constitution, after it has been called in
extra session to adjust the statutes to
the Constitution, it should confess its
impotency to accomplish that result and
adjourn over leaving the matter hang
ing in the air.
The Old Dominion Sun says:
IF Judge Bergman Green really
meant to hang all who refused to take
the oath we can respectfully refer him
to Judge Harrison, of Winchester, and
Hon. George E. Sipe, of Rockingham"
The Suffolk Herald pleads for better
country schools and mere Of them. It
says:
$50 far as our country schools are
concerned, would advocate increased
local taxation. Cities and towns have
line public schools by levying special
school taxes, and there is no reason
why any ma gisterial district in a coun-
ty should not do this. Governor Monta-
que is taking special interest in the pub
lie schools, and we trust he will agitate
the local taxation idea"
The Newport News Press says:
1.-THE action of the Democratic caucus
of the Legislature nominating Judge W.
N. Portlock, OF. Norfolk, in the face Of
a sustained protest on the part OF the
majority shows how subservient good

The Norfolk Ledger thinks the talk
that Virginia is now without eligible
jurors is far-fetched. not to say absurd,
and says:
THE ruling in Norfolk, to the effect
that the old regime goes on till the Con-
stitution becomes operative in this par
ticular through a new registration of
voters, seems to us to- be entirely sound,
for certainly the trainers Of the new
Fundamental law could never have meant
that the State was to be left even for
a day without trial by jury, and they
must have meant to continue the old
jury system when they provided that the
old laws should be operative till the new
cnes became effective.
Staunton Spectator: I'VE believe all
| who know us will credit our sincerity
| in desiring to see the just and proper
control of corporations. yet we would
look upon the work Of the convention
as failure in this respect if such COM
| mission were composed Of men who were
prejudiced for or against corporations.

BY the brash way In which Mr.. Leon

The Spirit of Winter is with US, making
its presence known in many different
ways-sometimes by CHEEKY sunshine and

driving winds and binding storms. To
many people it seems to take a delight in
making bad things worse, for rhcuma-
tism twists harder, twinges sharper,
catarrh becomes more annoying. and the
many symptoms of scroiula are de.
veloped and aggravated. There is not
much poetry in this, but there is truth
and it is a wonder that more people
don't get rid of these ailments. The
medicine that cures tbem-Hoods Sarsa.
