The Congressional Junketer.
Virginia Experiment Station

In the Spring IA congressman's fancy
turns to thoughts of the summer
iunket and the last few days OF the
session are made yet more strenuous
by his activity in getting invitations to
the particular trip that his wife most
desires TO make. The Congressional
iunkct is an expensive affair but like
most things that come high it is "a
good thing. We take our Congress
men from the people and il they have
not been educated or proadened by
travel the best thing the country can
do for itself is TO make travel
possible for them. Our legislators
cannot but make better laws for hav-
ing outgrown their provincialisms and
there is no better or surer way to
grow them than Icy visiting and seeing
other countries. y trip to foreign

that in view Of our expanding country,

that among our Congressman there
are professional junketers who
get in on all the trips and whose wives

summer voyage mt the expense of the

Temediable features OF the case. Lee

The Presidents Vacation.

President Roosevelt is spending his
spare moments until he can leave
town and civilization in making adj
dresses to the Tract society and the
Mothers Congress but 1t is likely that
his heart is ON that six weeks trip
when he will live in the woods, eat
beans and bacon and let his beard
grow. Along with his patent leather
shoes and his razor he will leave care
at the edge OF the woods and Tor six
weeks he will enjoy himself after his
own fashion. 1t is a fashion which

AGRICULTURE IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.

The Virginia School Journal has re-
Gently had two well written articles by
Prof. Dahl, advocating the teaching Of
scientific agriculture in the public
schools OF the state, along with other
studies. Why not? There seems TO
US every reason why the young people
Of our country should be made familiar
with the underlying great principles
governing the successful growing o'
plants, vegetables and fruits, etc, OF
which our fathers OF past generations,
and many OF them Of the present knew
comparatively so little. Very few OF
the students turned out OF the public
schools who will become farmers will
have an opportunity Of attending an
agricultural college, and those who do
will be but the better prepared TO en-
ter. AND then, if more was known
along this line it is reasonable TO as
sumo that fewer young men would
wish 70 desert tho farm for occupations
elsewhere. We will be glad to hear
what our readers think OF the sugges-
ton.

WHOSE BUSINESS?

Ed. News:-It is amazing TO me why
the newspapers OF this town do not say
something about the rowdyism, drink

ment carried on frequently in this
town. You let these things go on
right under your noses, and you never
say a word. Is it because You fear
giving offence or losing a dollar? The
newspapers are powerful factors, and

would expose it. Why don't you do
so? Citizen.

Suffrage In Florida.

|. S. Vann, of Leesburg, Fla, is
curious to know "why the northern
people misrepresent the motives of the
southeners." Referring TO the pro-
posed reduction of representation of
the southern states in Congress, Mr..
Vann, writing in the New York World.
says: "ln Florida we have no educa-
tiOnal test even We use the Aus
tralian ballot system, and any one
having sense enough to mark his bal
lot properly, which consists of placing
an Y before the name OF the voters
choice can vote. In addition the law
requires any man between the ages of
twenty-one and forty-five years to pay
a poll-tax Of 81 per year, said tax
going to the public school fund of the
state. Not negro in a hundred
pays his poll tax and thus DISTINGUISHES
himself. Negroes in Florida do not
pay as much as one one-thousandth OF
the taxes tor schools, while they re-
ceive onefourth the total school dis
bursements. You will readily see
that we have IA very simple method Of
voting, and also pay the expenses Of
educating the negroes how to vote"
