The Cry From the Wheat Fields.

The college boys are needing the
call for help thatcomes from the west
ern wheat fields. Quite number OF
students from Columbia, Princeton,
Harvard, Syracuse and other eastern
universities have already started for
Kansas, and more are going. A fair
proportion of these young men have
in previous years sought vacation
employment as summer hotel walters,
canvassers and the like. 1t is worthy
of note that one reason given for Sc
Letting farm work is that it will keep
them in training for football and
other athletics. The young men 90
anticipating both pleasure and profit,
as the wages will be good and the
labor not too strenuous. And they
have no nonsensical ideas about it's
being either a "picnic" or q chance
for engaging In social functions. As
one of the student-farmers said "We
do not take our TuXedos with us. !"
That is the rightspirit. Those young
fellows will give a good account of
themselves and will return richer for
the experience and better off financi-
ally.
There seems to be an opportunity
for many more who want healthful
remunerative employment. SuperiE-
tendent Berlin of the New York State
Free Labor Bureau recently announc-
ed that 1000 harvesters were needed
in Kansas alone. Many inquiries
have been made of him by students,
aud it is his belief that if raildroad
rates are not found too high hun
dreds of them will go to the wheat
fields. He states that the work will
last all summer, which is what the
students want, and the pay is $3.50
per day with board and lodging,
making the sum received so much
clear gain. The appeals from some
quarters of the west for help In the
harvest season is actually pathetic,
for farmers see their crops going to
waste and ruin unless the grain can
be gathered in and cared for. A To-
peka dispatch, for instance, says that
letters have been received from Rush
County begging for 1000 extra men.
The county has grown 100000 acres
of wheat, which isnow overripe, and
the yield, if the crop can be saved,
will be 100000 bushels. In sec.
tions farther to the north the season
is not yet advanced to the danger
point, but harvesting will begin all
along the line in a few days, and
muscle capable of handling sheaves of
wheat is now at big premium

vailed in that county, and indeed
all over the State. The following

The LEGISLATURE

The jamestown Exposition bill
received a severe setback Thurs
day. Eight votes were lacking for
its passage by the House, and il
was saved from final defeat only
by motion to pass by. The vote
on the measure disclosed 43 fer
the bill and 80 opposed. The bill
carries an appropriation of $780,
600, and 81 votes are necessary for
its passage.
The bill donating a site in the
Capitol Square for the Stuart
monument was passed, with an
amendment that the General As
sembly can relocate the monument
should it be determined to erect Il
composite statue to Lee and his
generals.
The Speaker appointed Messrs.
Davis, Gent, Featherstone, Rice
and Sipe a committee on the part
Of the House to carry out the
objects of the Lee Statue bill. Mr..
Rice is a Union veteran.
A great deal Of the time of the
Senate was spent in consideration
of the General Game law, but no
final action was reached. An
amendment was adopted making
the open season east of the Blue
Ridge mountains from November
to February /, and west of the
mountains from November ! to

No Congressional ReappOrtion'
ment This Year

BY a decisive vote the House OF
Delegates on Thursday last refused
to engross the Cumming substitute
for the congressional reapporticn-
ment bill, and then dismissed the
latter, which indicates clearly
that there will be no legislation on
this line at the present session. 1t
indicates still more, according to
the view of many members, who
are of opinion that nothing could
more completely vindicate the
veto message of Governor Monta-
que, when last year he stamped
his disapproval upon the Barksdale
measure.
Mr.. Cumming made "a game
fight, and when he saw he had
lost and the motion was made to
cllnch tbs vote by which the body
had rejected the bill, Mr.. Stearnes
made motion to pass by, in
order to have another trial upon
some more suspicious day. But
the House did not concur in this
view, and so the fight over con-
gressional reapportionment was
ended for the present session at
least.

SCARCITY OF FARM LABOR

From all over Virginia comes W
the cry that all kinds of farm labor
is scarce. This is due to the fact
that many of the negro laborers
have gone off to the mines or to the
railroad, or into service at the
North, while others have rented or
purchased little farms, and are
doing business on their own ac-
count. There are many negro
farmers in Virginia, and our infor-
nation is that nearly all of them
are doing first-rate and are good
citizens.
But the scarcity of labor is a
problem which the farmers of Vir-
ginia must confront, and the solu-
ton is puzzling them no little.
The negro problem in the black
belt of Virginia seems to be not so
much what the whites will do with
the negro as what they will do
without him. yirginians have
been accustomed to negro labor,
and it is altogether the most sat
isfactory labor, because they know
how to deal with the negro laborers,
who have been raised on the soil,
better than they know how to deal
with foreigners.
But while the problem is per-
picking, we are encouraged to
believe that it will all work out for
the best. Our information is that
the most successful farmers, GER
tainly throughout East and South
side Virginia, are those who do
their own work, with the assis-
lance of their boys, and that wher-
ever you find an industrious far
mer with two or three industrious
boys, who will till their own soil,
you will find prosperity.
Virginia is in need of more far
mers of this character, and the
State should advertise for settlers.
We have plenty of land, in fact we
have too much land for the number
of farmers, and that is why so
many landowners in Virginia are
Gland poor" But if We could get
a considerable number of thrifty
farmers from other sections to
come here and purchase part of
our lands and work them with
their own hands and improve them,
we should soon have greater
prosperity throughout the agri-
cultural sections.

Water-Cure for Railroad Men

Water-Cure for Railroad Men
The Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, claiming the right under an
ordinance adopted in 1852, took
a force of men into the city of
arkersburg, w. Va, before day
light Wednesday morning, the
18th, and began to lay 3 track for
five blocks over one of the principal
streets of the city. The police
lad been notified of their coming
and had been instructed to call
out the fire department if an
attempt was made to lay a track.
The department responded and
poured such stream of water on
the men that they had to abandon
the street.
A clash occurred between the
NJ ayor, who is attorney for the
Baltimore and Ohio, and the City
Council. The Mayor had directed
the police and fire departments
not to interfere with the building
of the track, but the Council
countermanded his orders, and the
departments stood with the
Council and the citizens.
Following the excitement of the
early morning the City Council
held a special meeting, at which
impeachment proceedings were
begun against Mayor j. w. Van
dorvoort. He was suspended from
office and injunction proceedings
were begun in the Circuit Court.
Calls were issued for pen to
protect the street from any further
interference, and hundreds respon-
ded.

DOUBLED THE TAX

On Friday the Mann liquor bill,
which has attracted more atten-
ton than any other matter before
the General Assembly, was report
ed as an amendment to the general
tax bill whic h came from the Sen
ate Finance Committee on that day
to the upper branch of the Legis-
iature.
The amendment embodies the
Mann feature of the Quarles- Bar
bour resolution, fought over so
long in the recent Constitutional
Convention, in Richmond, Va,
which requires the applicant
for license in the rural districts
to secure the signatures of major
ity of the registered voters in the
magisterial district where the H.
cense Is sought to be obtained,
and which was the former, practi-
cally, with the cities exempted,
will cause fight on the floor of the
two houses, yet its passage is con-
fidently predicted by Judge Mann,
the popular patron, and Messrs.
Wickham and BOaz, the chairmen
of the Senate and House Commit
tees on Finance, are of the Opin-
ion that it will go through.
The amendment was so modified
as to exempt towns of 500 inhabi-
tants and over and all watering
places and summer resorts.
When the patron agreed to the
modification exempting cities and
towns of 500 and over and all sum-
mer resorts and watering places,
the way was clear, there appearing
little opposition on the final vote.
The bill was reported as an
amendment to the omnibus revenue
bill rather than as an independent
measure, because it was in conflict
with some of the provisions of the
latter, and 1t made a part of a
new basis of taxation for the liq-
uor dealers of the State.
1t is estimated that the net gain
in revenue from this source will be
about 100000.
The present tax on liquor deal
ers is doubled and this would bring
an increase of 5000. 200, FAC .ording
to Messrs. McIlwaine and Boaz,
and u decrease of 100000. Under
the Mann bill amendment it will
reduce this sum and make 500, 900
