The Lesson of The ShlpbulIding Trust

Sioux City Journal"
The natural conclusion is that the United
States ShipbuIding Company was organ
lzed not to carry on shipbuilding bust
ness, but for the purpose Officiating stocks,
which were certain to decrease enormously
in value as soon as the true earning capa-
city of the corporation was disclosed.
Itis disquieting to find that our so-called
,ings of finance have been engaged in this
sort of thing, but it is well that the lesson
has been learned 80 soon. The public can
profit by the disclosures made. The next
time an investment of that kind is offered
probably il will not be soon7the public
will not be ready to accept as sufficient
guarantee of the soundness Of the enter
prise the fact that certain .well-known
names ale connected with it. The public
will ask to be shown. And, incidentally,
the legislators are likely to get at work
pom some plan by which the public will

THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 10, 1908.
VERY SIGNIFICANT.

Thes results of Tie election in Virginia
on the 3rd inst. presented some very sig
nifcant features. Wherever the Repub-
licans made aggressive fights there was a
decided change found in the sentiment Of
the people. The constant effort which
had been made by the Republicans for
many years to have fair elections at last
bore some fruit. The election was the
fai5est that had been held in the State for
the past twenty years. This was especially
so in the great white counties and in the
Southwest in particular
1t was clearly demonstrated that the
Ninth District is Republican district.
The Democrats hal put up as their candi-
dates for the Legislature, in nearly every
instance, the best men they could find,
but the Republicans have elected nine Of
the eleven members Of the House of Dele
gales that are sent from the district, and
the only member of the State Senate who
was to be chosen. The great county Of
Russell, which for fifteen years had been
held Oy the Democrats. has been re-
deemed, and tne fraudulent practices Of
the machine in that county rebuked in 10
unmistakable terms 10y the honest voters.
Not only did the Republicans VIII the
member of tine House of Delegates in Rus.
sell, but they elected their candidates for
all the county and nearly all the district
offices. So it wac in most of the counties
of the Ninth District, a large proportion
of the county and district offices were cap
tured by the Republicans. If properly
filled and utilized they cal be made
sourc4 of grea, additional strength to the
party.
In the Fifth Congressional District the
Republ cans have also shown great
strength. They carried the counties Of
Gravson, Floyd and Carroll, and reduced
the Democratic majority in all the other
counties, except Pittsylvania, to insight
icant pl proportions. In the middle counties
of the Valley of Virginia they were also
very strong, that is, in Shenandoah, Rock
inglam and Page
We are satisfied that if there had been
candidate for the House Of Delegates in
every county in the State, and the party
had been properly organized and led,
there would have been a wonderful show
ing made by the Republicans on the popu'
lar vote. As it is. lie results of the
election on the 3rd inst. contain much
that should be enc )uraging to our party,
and to al honest citizens who desire to re-
deem the State from the disyraceful
methods that have been prevailing in
politics.

Canada Taking a More Sensible View

Toronto Mail and Empire"
1t is proper enough to hold to our own
view, but it is not dgnified TO grumbe, or
10 attribute motives to Lord Alverstone
when, owing to the independence of his
position, such could not have influenced
him. The attrbuting of such motives
merely provokes a sentiment which it is
not judicious to cultivate. One political
journal, we note, couples Lord Alverstone
with Lord Ashburton, for the purpose of
impressing upon the public the theory
that the British are willing at any moment
10 sacrifice us. Another cries out that
chamberlain has done this" in order to
suggest the same thing in another way.
What the meaning of these iDslnuations is
no one need doubt. They come from
agencies which would not allow US to pay
q cent towards imperial defense. But the
answer to them is plain, Lord Alverstone
could have given a different decision had
lIls judgment led him to 10 So, and the
only result would have been disagree
lnent and another trial.
