STATE COMMITTEE TO PLAN
DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN

The fall campaign promises to be the
most spirited struggle between the two
principal parties in Virginia the State
has witnessed since the days of Malone.
The Republicans are waging war in
every part of the Old Dominion.
The Democratic leaders are active and
alert, watching the movements OF the
enemy closely.
The meeting OF the Democratic State
committee will be held Thursday night.
Many important matters are to be con-
sidered and acted upon at this meeting.
The official results of the recent State
primary are to be tabulated and arrange
ments made for the allcampaign. Four
contests are scheduled for hearing,
three involving seats in the senate and
one for q house nomination.

THE CRY OF GRAFT

The Washington Post. in an ell
torial entitled Graft in Virginia,
very nearly hits the political situa-
ton in Virginia this fall:
One of the Republican orators over
in Virginia has been glvingutterancc
to some doctrine somewhat double
barreled. He says that as there has
been discovered a certain amount oil
craft i'm certain Democratic circles IN
the Old Dominion. the Democratic
party of Virginia is responsible, AMI
there is nothing decent for it to do
but to abdicate and let the Republl-
cans takecOntrOl.
But how about the Federal establish
ment-the post-ofiice, the land office,
the Agricultural Department, and
the others? Here is graft front,
flank. and rear. The Government
Printing Office escaped las 10y fire,
to quote st. Paul, ii. indeed. it has
escaped. for the trail OF the serpent Is
over it as we'll rs the Others.
I'm national affairs there has been
no opposition the past eight years.
Here at Washington the Republican
party has been practically irrespon-
sible since March 4, 1897. 1t could.
and did, do whatever il saw fit to do.
And it left undone whatever was dis
agreeable. 1t would have been y
miracle if graft had not crept into
the departments under such cOndi-
tions as those. 1t was not necessary
for the Republican party to keep
guard, for there was no opposition
party to assail it. And it looks now
as though there will be noOppoSition
party until the Republican party
dissolves. which it will surely do, ii
let alone.
And over in Virginia there has been
no opposition party for any practi-
cal purpose since Ben Hill arraigned
William Malone in the United States
Senate. That was twenty-fOur years
ago, and there will be no real oppO-
sition party there. or in any other
State between the Potomac and the
Rio Grande and between the Ohio
and the Gulf. until the Republican
party dissolyes or the South is torn
down and rebuilt.
But is not a Republican oratorwho
talks about graft something like the
widow. whose husband was hanged.
discoursing of a rope?
1t would appear from this that the
only argument the Virginia Republi-
cans have yet advanced for a change
of administration in Virginia is with
out much force. In fact, all along
We have been suspicious that their
only real reason in clamoring for a
change was that they want the job
the Democrats have so long and so
creditably held, but suspect that the
Virginia people are in no humOr for
INDUCING in risky experiments.

OF course Mr.. Roosevelt is entitled
to the honor Ofbringing about peace
between Russia and Japan. Other
rulers may have been as anxious as
he was to stop the war, but they did
not have the courage to make the
effort for fear Of complications that
would result in other directions. Mr..
Roosevelt had the courage to act
and the wisdom to act ut the right
time, and was not afraid ofany com
plications. Therefore, he brought
the parties together in consultation,
suggested the terms OF peace and
they were agreed upon. Certainly he
is entitled to the credit and the coun-
try should be proud OF it.

MADE NEST IN BEARD.
Mouse Took Great Liberty With
Miner In Alaska.


A mouse may naturally be a
+" timid beastie, but at times it
shows an audacity which borders on
the impertinent. A traveller in
Alaska brings home this experience
OF his Kondike wanderings.
The teller Of the story passed a
long, cold winter at Cape Nome. He
and his companions had for year or
more, let their boards grow, as pro-
lection for their threats and chests.
One night when all were asleep the
man in question was awakened by
a light patting on his face The cold
as intense, and not caring to move
unless 1t was necessary, he lay still.
Again the light touches on his cheek.
He put up his hand, and his fingers
closed on tiny mouse tangled in the
meshes Of his beard. A companion,
reused by the involuntary exclama-
ton, lighted a candle and investi-
gated.
The mouse had selected the beard
as warm and eligible site for a resi-
dence. 1t had burrowed out a nice,
round nest and when caught was en-.
gagged in dropping beans, purloined
from the scanty larder, into the recep
tacle thus made.-Youth's Companion,

from 1917 West S3rd street, Minneap-
oils, Mimi, as follows:
suffered for years with . pain IN
the small of my back and right side. II
interfered often with my domestic snd
social duties snd never supposed that
I would b cured, ~ tho Doctors nsedi-
cline did not seem to hslp me any.
fortunately member Of our Order
adviser me to try Peruna and gave II
such high praise that decided TO try
II. Although started In with little
faith, felt so much better In a week
that felt encouraged.
II took it faithfully for seven weeks
and am happy indeed TO be able to say
that lam entirely cured.
"WOrds fall TO express my gratitude.
Perfect health once more n the best
fhi1g ] could wish for, and thanks 10
Peruna, I enjoy that now"
Pain in the back, or on the right side.
How often physician hears this
complaint!
Over and over we hear women say:
II have paid in the small Of my back.
have a pain in my right side, just be-
low the ribs"
These symptoms indicate pelvic or
abdominal catarrh.
They indicate that the bowels are not
acting properly-that the liver is out
Of order-that the pelvic organs ara
congested.
Pelvic catarrh-thatist the name forit.
Peruna cures pelvic cstsrrh, when
all Of these symptoms disappear.
The catarrh may be all in the abdom-
inal organs, when it would be properly
called abdominal catarrh.
At any rate, it is one Of those cases Of
internal catarrh which can be reached
only by course Of treatment with
Peruna. = 80
