The Hunting Season.

Yesterday, November lst, ushered in
the hunting season. From now until
February in Virginia east of the Blue
Ridge mountains, partridges may be
killed without violation of the State game
laws. Not only is this the beginning OF
the partridge season in Virginia but also
it begins the days for pheasants, wood
cock and wild turkeys. The rabbits
will also come in for a great deal of at
tention IN many counties, for the game
law does not protect them any longer In
the northern sections of the State.

No Poison in ChamberIain's Cough
Remedy

From Napier, New Zealand, Herald !;
Two years ago the Pharmacy Bard Of

analysis made of all the cough medicines
that they declared we're entirely free from
all poisons. This exception was Cham
berisin's Cough Remedy, made by the
Chamberlain Medicine Company, Des
Moines, Iowa, U. S. A. The absence
of ali narcotics makes this remedy the
safest and best that can be had; and it j;
with a feeling of security that any moth
er can give it to her little ones. Cham,
berlain's Cough Remedy is especially
recommended by its makers for coughs
c ecid Group and whOOping cough.
When taken in time it prevents pneu'
monia. This remedy is for sale by Glib

RESTAURANTS.

They Came Into BEING With the
First French Revolution.
The restaurant is of comparatively
modern origin; The first French revolu-
ton, at the close of the eighteenth cen.
tury, witnessed Its birth. Prior to that
time the best cooks were in the employ
Of the nobility, whose ruin threatened
them with equal disaster. A happy in
SEPARATION, however, led them to open
places of public entertainment, which
lenped Mt once into immense popular
faver, inasmuch as previously, while
the French people were endowed with
the instincts of delicate cookery, they
were unable to crafty their tastes
through the absence of resorts availa-
BILE for the purpose.
The proprietors of many of these es-
adjustments quickly acquired wide
spread fame and large wealth. Coin
cident with the birth of the restaurant
in France, an immense impulse wns
given to the publication of popular
trcatises on the art of cookery COM
posed by the most famous cooks. These
were rapidly disseminated among the
people. who, gifted with natural gen.
ius for gastronomy, promptly awaited
of the new sources of knowledge to
perfect themselves in an art of which
they have become the foremost expo
nents of the world. Among these pub.
locations was the "Almannch des Gour-
mands," established in 1904, one of the
classics of culinary learning.

What has come between the Man
chester Press and the railway cor
porations? Heretofore it has been
one Of their strongest and most un-
reasonable supporters. In its eyes
the railways like a king "conld do
no wrong" Until its issue last
week we do not remember that the
Press ever contained line of edi-
torial questioning the unjust
methods of the railways to their
patrons. But in that issue the
editor editorially cites case eff ex-
tortionate and unjust freight rates
that he claims is within his
personal knowledge, as follows:
"We know well-to-do Bremen
county farmer who owns a fine hay
farm. Hay is the bulk Of his crop,
and he bales and ships any number
of tons ever year. The other day he
wanted to make a large shipment
t. Boston. The price of baled hay
on the Boston market is SIS pei
ton, He made inquiries of several
railroads, and found that the cheap
est rate obtainable to that market
was 50 per ton. This would leave
him less than 81 per ton for his
hay. He is one man who is con-
WINGED that something should be
done to equalize railroad rates."

without rlsking defeat.
"On Jan. 27 and rs Sandepas and it.

while our extreme column engaged

not been received. On Jan. 1921 our

fered considerable loss"

Instead of confirmation of Saturday
nights report that General Kuropatliin
had broken through the Japanese left,
there came Lieutenant General Ska
haroff's official admission today that
the Russians had been compelled to re-
tire from Sandepas on account of their
inability to carry redoubt. 1t is also
significant that dispatches from Rus

Electric Power for Railways.

Senator Chauncey NJ. Depew, in q
recent address before the New York
Transportation Club, said:
II predict that ten years from to.
night the steam locomotive will be
in the museums, while we will be
carried along, clipping the seconds
off seventy-five miles an hour, by
electric locomotives"
Rapid strides are undoubtedly
being made in the transmission and
use of electric power. Senator
Depew is high authority on every
thing pertaining to practical rail
reading and his prediction is loaded
with wonderful possibilities. Ii the
water power Of every stream and
river can be converted into electric
force and used to haul all the rail-
way trains Of the country it will be
la great change for the better.

More Than Million Democrats Voted
for Roosevelt.

1t is quite safe to say that more
than million democrats voted for
Roosevelt at the last election. In
the ten states Of Colorado, Massa-
chussets, Michigan, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, New Jersey, New York, Rhode
Island, West Virginia and Wiscon-
sin there was a total difference of
100000 between the votes cast for
Roosevelt and for the democratic
candidates for governor.
OF course some republicans un-
doubtedly voted for these democratic
gubernatorial candidates, but on the
other hand many disguised demo
Gratis did not stop to scratch their
tickets They voted for Roosevelt
because they considered him bette,
democrat than Parker, and at the
same time voted for every other can
didate on the ticket with Roosevelt
The number of Democrats who voted
that way probably equaled the mum
Der of republicans who voted fol
democratic governors. If GS0,00[
democrats voted for Roosevelt in ten
states, it is easy to believe that as
many as 100000 voted for him in
the remaining thirty five states.

The President is not attempting
to do anything more with the great
railway corporations than the demo-
Gratis demanded in their platform Of
1896. Here is the platform decla-
ration:
''We demand the enlargement Of
the powers of the interstate COM
MERGE commission, and such re-
striction and guarantees in the CON
troll of railroads as will protect the
people from robbery and oppres-
sion"
This declaration in the democratic
platform enabled Mark Hanna to
collect from the railroads some Of
the millions which were used to per.
vert the election in 1896. Again we
say that the men are not democrats
who refuse to support the Presidents

cat no time since the close of the

of popular government been in
greater peril. The government is
seeking to control public service
corporations and industrial combi-
nations because these corporations
and combinations are seeking to
control government. The next few
years will test the vital principles Of
democracy in this country as never
before"
For the past eight years or more
the real democrats in every part Of
the country have done all in their
power to combat the giant evils SO
tersely described by the newly elect
