commenting upon an article appearing
in the Martinsville Standard. a Repub-
lican organ, asserts that the Republic

of their sires under the new Constitu-
ton and new registration. by reason of
the neglect of the Democratic vote to
register, to play a part in Virginia poll
tics. 1t is a warning TO the Democrats.
and one that should be heeded-Empo-
ria Messenger.
Since the warning was sounded In The
Times. evidence Of it's imeiiness has
continued to accumulate. Unless there
shall be more interest taken in the mat
ter OF registration. Virginia will find its
way very soon in the doubtful column
of States. if not in the Republican list
This IS simply the plain truth, as UNI
pleasant as it may sound to SO many
good people and it is idle to pooh-pooh
1t away. The newspapers throughout the
State are doing their duty in urging
people to register. but they cannot be
expected to do everything. When an
election is on, the politicians are not
slow to so out into the highways and
hedges to compel the voters to come to
the ballot box. The same tactics seem
TO be necessary now to get the people
in shape to vote hereafter.

HOW TO READ THE BIBLE.

''How readest thou?"-St. Luke x. IS
Nothing would seem more simple than
to open the Bible and read the verses as
they come. But few people really read

others approach it along false lines.
What is Your method of reading it?
How do YOU read your children's letters?
What Is the vital point? What does the
writer want to say? The heart must
read and the heart must understand,
else all is in vain
How readest thou?'' Take the first
chapters in Genesis. How many people
have been bewildered and upset and be-
logged by these chapters? They need
not have been so troubled for a moment,
They would not read q letter from a

HENnERsoN,s HIDDEN MOTIVE.

MANY Of these doubtless took the cue

were .'incredulous and angry by turns"
and a reading between the lines show
general feeling among Republicans that
the real reasons for the Speakers with
drawal have not been given by him.
There are board intimations. as well as
the direct charge, that he has hidden the
actual motive for his course behind
statement which is very injurious and in
tended to be injurious to his party.
That Mr.. Henderson has in day
ceased to be the hero and the pet Of the
which adhercs TO Mr.. Roosevelt and adj
vocatcs his nomination in 1904, no one
car fail to observe. There comes an in
.imation direct from Washington that
further explanations Of the Speakers
course will be offered and these explana-
tions will not come from the Speaker or
his friends 1t has also leaked out that
the Iowa incident and its bearing upon
future political events have been the sub
Sect of secret conferences at Oyster BAY
and that the first result of these confer
cnces was a hurried re-editing of the
speeches the President has made ready
for delivery on his present western tour.
II is further intimated that upon his
return TO Washington in December MI.
Henderson will find it to be conducive to
his peace of mind to resign the Speaker
chip and even his seat in the Congress,
now so near to its termination.
Just what all this means or may mean
a little later on doth not yet appear but
prophecy is vcntured that the hidden OBJ
scot OF the Speakers remarkable course

No one imagines that Mr.. Henderson
himself proposes to enter the field as an
esplrant for the presidential nomination
at the hands of the Republican party,
but that his sensational act in Iowa is
the first move on the board upon which
an earnest game is to be played to check
mate the President, many close students
OF modern politics believe.
Who is to be the beneficiary of the
game IL it can be successfully played.
There is a wide range for guessing al
the way from Hanna down to some ye
unknown dark horse on the order Of thu
late President Hayes.
Truly there IS something on more thar
mere outbursts of temper and a. display
OF pullheadedness on the part of Mr.
Henderson. and the next move on tht
checkerboard will be watched with de
