Get Together and Act.

Fs The Free Press, Of HarrSonburg, in
discussing the question of better rail-
road communication between Richmond
and the Valley, says: III
THE Richmond Times-Dispatch is
4 bringing to public notice the lack of
proper railroad connections between the
Valley and the eastern part of the State.
AT the same time 1t is showing the great
need of Virginia and Virginians for bet
ter facilities, especially in freight traf-
+ fic.
The Times Dispatch probably fully un-
derstands that this is no new question.
and that efforts have been made at
different times to establish trade rea-
tons between the Shenandoah Valley
and the cities Of Eastern Virginia. The
only thing that binders this condition is
the lack Of shippiur: Accommodations.
THE people of the, Valley would just
as soon, and all things being equal, would
much preferhto)deal with Richmond and
5Lynchburs than-Mith Washington and
Baltimore. Pride of State would give the
former cities the preference.
"rhc Times-Dispatcl hopes by giving
the matter the utmost publicity and
showing the unanimous demand for prop
er railroad connections and freight ar
engagements, to create such u widespread
sentiment that the railroads will be
forced to take action"
This much at least has been settled
the people Of the Valley desire better
4 railroad communication with Richmond.
4 and Richmond desires better communca-
ton with the people of the Valley. we
do not ask anything unreasonable Of
the railroads, but we have right to
ask that as convenient facilities be at
forded Richmond as are afforded to cities
of the North. and the time for action
has come. II the people OF the Valley
and the people of Richmond and other
cities and sections interested would only
get together4and act together, the rail-
roads woIid come to terms 1t is time
to hold such a meeting. and the sooner
the better.

Socialism in the United States.

In tho course of an article on So
clallsm, In the June number OF Munseys
Magazine, Mr. Herbert N. Casson says
that .the United States, as we'll as Eu-
rope. is confronted by the Socialist peril,
If 1t be a peril" He points out that
the Socialist vote in the last presidential
election. which was In round numbers
100000. was equal to the vote Of nine
States, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Mis-
sissippi Nevada, North Dakota, Rhode
Island, Vermont and Wyoming. Accord
Ing to number. this would have given
tho Socialists sixteen votes In the Elec-
toral College, and II they were repre-
sentcd In Congress as are the voters Of
the States named, they would have
forty-five Senators and Representatives.
But the vote was by no means we'll
distributed. 1t was comparatively large
In some sections, but in others so small
as not to be factor It wns largest In
the State OF Illinois, where the Debs
ticket polled COPS votes. In California
29535 persons voted for Dehs; In Ohio,
1920: in New York, 86sS3, but In Massa-
chusetts, where the Socialists had been
at one time very strong, Debs only re-
ceive 1864 votes. The entire Socialist vote
was per cent. OF tho total In the cX-
IRENE West per cent. In tho Rocky
Mountain States, per cent. in the Middle
States. and per cent, in the Eastern
States. but It is gratifying to know that
in the South 1t was scarcely anything.
The vote In the Southern States was as
follows: Alabama, $751; Arkansas. 1876;
Florida, 1881; Georgia, 1917; Kentucky,
1902; Louisiana, 99s: mississippi. s93;
North Carolina, l24; South Carolina, 20;
| Tennessee. 2,7ol; Virginia. 2ls
1t Is true that in most of the Southern
States. Watson, Popullst. polled more
votes than Debs. Socialist, but only In
the State Of Georgia, where Watson is
personally very popular did the Populist
ticket poll any considerable number OF
votes and in Georgia It was only 1880.
In Virginia the combined Socialist and
Populist vote was less than GO, This is
good exhibit for the South. showing

{ Give Us Honest Judges.

: The Roanoke Times reprints some re-
marks Of ours urging that tho forth
coming State primaries be conducted with
scrupulous honesty and fairness, and
commends our suggestion as wise coun-
selling"
Tho Democratic party of Virginia.
says our Roanoke contemporary, "as the
dominant political organization in the
State, accepts grave responsibility IN
this matter. It undertakes itself to con-
duct an election, the effect Of which 1t
is generally thought will be as binding
upon the State government, as If It
were the regular November contest-and
IT owes it to its members and to the
public to see to 1t that no stain Of
fraud or wrongdoing shall rest upon
the result. There is no present reason
Of which we are aware to fear that the
election will be held upon other plano
than a high and honorable one-scrupu-
lously fair in its details and entirely
consistent with the rights Of all candl-
dates. While this is true, however, It
is just as we'll that all safeguards pro-
vided by the State primary plan, to
insure an honest count. should be
strictly observed. Among these is the
very effective one to which we have
before called attention. whereby each
candidate Is given the right to have q
friend in the polling BOOTH during the
casting of the vote and at the time the
vote is counted This precaution ought
to be taken, if for no other reason than
to prevent false clamor in the future"
We have not meant to intimate that
the primaries would not be honestly
conducted, although we have had hints
from some quarters that are enough to
arouse suspicion. We are not disposed to
think evil. We prefer to believe that the
election will be honesty but there are
some bad men in every party, and we
simply mean to put the great body Of
Democrats on their guard. Let them
see to it that in every locality political
trcksters are kept out of tho voting
places and that the election officers are
men who are above suspicion. The whole
question is this: II we have hoVest
judges we shall have a fair election and
an honest return; II the judges are dis
honest, there vii be trlckery and fraud.
Men do not gather figs Of thistles
