ELECTION OF SENATORS BY PEOPLE.

Senator Depew is opposed to the
election of United States Senator's
bp the people. He fastened to
express this view as soon as the
Equitable researches disclosed his
name.-Times-Dispatch.
Senator Depew is not unlike a
a good many other people, in the
conviction that it is easier to
buy a legislature even of the
state of New York than it is
to buy the entire people of the
state, or perhaps he is so grateful
for the potent influence of Boss
Platt in the mastery of the repub-
lican majority of the New York
legislature, that he would rather
take the chances of being elected
by Plat than by the people of
New York. 1t is extremely fortu-
nate for Our Chauncey" that PIatt
elected him for another term before
the books of the Equitable were
exposed to the public. If the peo-
pie of New York only had the op-
portunity now to say who should
fill his place in the United States
Senate, it would be a reflection
upon their integrity even to i'm
agine it possible that they would
select Mr.. Chauncey Depew.
Senator Mitchell of Oregon
though long honored by the people
of his state and Senator Burton of
Kansas, both convicts and awaiting
the result of appeals to a higher
court would doubtless agree with
Senator Depew in opposing cleo
ton by the people. Certainly the
people could do no worse than many
legislatures have done. Give them
a fair chance by their direct vote
and there can be little doubt that
they would in many cases at least
improve the quality of the Upper
House.-RoanOke Word.

AS the News-Leader says, the
Republicans have chosen a good
candidate in Judge Lewis, as he
commands the personal respect OF
members of both parties.
We know of men right here in
Berryville and Clarke county, who
have always voted the Democratic
ticket, who would either stay Mt
home or cast their ballot for Judge
Lewis in preference to an express
sion of confidence in the policies
and platform for which and to
which Judge Mann stands COM
mitteed.
The editor of the COURIER be-
lieves in straightout local option
law, he believes in temperance. and
he despiseS drunkard above all
things, but we do not now nor
have we ever favored the Mann
law as now upon the statute books.
The friends of prohibition say.
when it is argued that Judge Mann
is prohibitionist, that he, as Gov
ernor, would have no power to in
troduce legislation to further the
ends of that causel That being
admitted. why, then does the Off
cial Anti-Saloon League of Virginia
practically lay aside all other af-
fairs and plunge into the laudation
of Judge Mann and his candidacy
as opposed to Swanson and Will
lardl
Letters have been sent to every
candidate, and their reply is print
ed and circulated in company with
Judge Mann's reply. OF course
he favors an extension of the law
which bears his name. Why
wouldn't he! The law is of his
framing, it is his child. why should
he go back upon til
Straightout local option is a
Democratic measure, and COM
mends itself to a Democratic voter.
The Mann law provides only for
rural communities and unincorpo-
rated towns. 1t provides for the
signature of majority of the quail
lhed voters to every petition for a
license. 1t provides that the Judge
of the court must be satisfied that
the applicant is a suitable person.
that the place is a suitable place.
that there will be police protection.
The local option law provides for
an election, at which majority of
the qualified voters shall say what
they favor. Isn't that fair and
Democratic enoughl Why should
the Judge of the court be left with
all the discretion (as under the
Mann law, without any opportu-
nifty for appeal to a higher tribunal.
We oppose Judge Mann because
he is the father of and favors the
Mann bill and extensions of it, and
because We believe his nomination
will mean a Republican victory.
We hope that a majority of Vir-
glnia voters will oppose him for
the same or similar reasons.

speaking OF quick and resourceful
animals. the mole leads easily SO far as
my experience goes" said a man from
the country. land I dare say there are
many men who have made observa-
lions that VIII confirm my contention.
AS you probably know. the mole plows
in the surface OF the earth. generally
making n small ridge anywhere from
two to three inches high. He moves
with remarkable rapidity even when
the ground in which he is burrowing Il
hard. When operating i'm soft ground
he moves along at n surprising gait.
But this IS not the point wanted TO
make. l was thinking OF the remarka-
bly, good hearing OF the mole and the
ease with which he can get away just
at the moment when you think you
have him cornered. OF course now and
then you can drive n spike through tho
mole before he Is aware OF t. II YOU
do you will have TO walk as light as n
cat and will have TO act as quickly as
the same animal when the time comes
TO act In nine cases out or ten the
mole will hear the first football At
once he Will quit blowing. He Is gone.
Search as YOU may. you cannot find
him. l have seen men dig for fifty
yards. following the ridge and It's on
shoots. without finding any other trace
Of the mole than the ridge. The moles
hearing is peculiarly keen. and sup
pose this is so because he cannot see.
But even more wonderful from my
standpoint is the ease and quickncss
with which he gets away. How does no
manage it, Where does he go7 You
know. the element OF superstition In
my makeup Is slim. and don't believe
in ghosts. but somehow I have always
inclined just a bit 20 the ghost theory
when thinking OF the mysterious antics

THE INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN.

II - Aoi the people OF virginia
TO consider very seriously two
propositions
The first is whether they are
willing to record themselves in
favor of prohibition or of the
drastic and extreme legislation for
which Judge Mann stands and
which the Democratic party will
endorse if it makes him its nomi-
nee; whether they are ready to
help destroy a very important
trade without assurance of any
compensating improvement of
moral or social conditions.
Second, as a matter of politics.
whether they believe that the
Democratic party can go into the
general election with any conf
dence of success with a candidate
representing these extreme views
on the liquor question and classed
by the common sense Of the public
As Prohibitionist. 1t is unfortu-
nate In some respects that the Re-
pubhcans of Nirginian have in
Judge Lewis a candidate for Gov
ernOr who commands the respect
and confidence of people of all
classes and parties. His character
and popularity tend to make many
voters comparatively Indifferent.
They may vote for Judge Mann
with the thought that even if he is
defeated the Republicans will give
us strong, capable and clean gov
ernOr. They do not look beyond
Judge Lewis to the disastrous
effects, political and otherwise. of
any Republican victory in Virginia
effects not confined to this State.
but extending throughout the
South and the country.
With a Republican governor and
a Democratic legislature, deadlocks
would be practically certain, and
the State Is not in a condition to be
impeded in her progress and dis
tracted in her affairs by such con-
ditions. With Republican power
once triumphantly asserted and
Republican in control of the exec
utlve department of the State, the
outlook for the supremacy of
Democratic principles and repre-
sentatlves of them in Virginia
would be gloomy. With all the
liquor interests and their connec-
lions and the anti-Prohibitionists
driven to an alliance with the Re-
publlcans, we would have to con-
front a strOng, dangerous and ever
growing foe. Richmond News
Leader.
The above extract from an edi-
torial in the Richmond News
Leader in regard to the fight which
Is being waged by the Anti-Saloon
League in favor of the candidacy
Of Judge Mann is timely and to
the point.
While the call for primaries ex-
sets out that voters are
considered as pledging themselves
10 support the nominee of the pri-
mary, we know, as probably every |
other man in Virginia knows, that
here will be a large number of
Democrats who will either STAY |
away from the polls in November
Or Will vote for the Republican
nominee if Judge Mann secures a
majority of the votes in the pri-
mary.
If the fight was between Mr..
Mann and either Mr.. Swanson or
Mr.. Willard, alone, the Judge
would be overwhelmingly defeated
The present three-cornered fight
suits the anti-saIoon and
prohibition forces, and they hope
nd expect to win because of this
act. They know, or ought to
now, that if Judge Mann is NOM
mated, it will not be by a majority
t all the voters, but will be by a ,
majority over the highest one of {
