JUDGE LEwls'S RECORD.
Editor Times-Dispatch:

Editor Times-Dispatch:
Deal Sir, AS Judge L. L. Lewis, tire
Republican nominee for Governor Of
Virginia, is credited with being life
long Republican, would like to know
if he was such during the dark ages OF
reconstruction. When the ballot was
placed in the hands of every buck ne
gro above the age of twenty-one, while
the most intelligent, self-respectlng
white men of Virginia were for time
neither allowed to vote or hold office,
and all the offices, State or. County,
were filled by carpet-baggers, negroes,
and scallawags, if he was Republican
then, good Lord deliver US from his po-
litical goodness now.
A DEMOCRAT WITH A MEMORY.
Pulaski, Va.
We, too, have a memory. We re-
member the days of reconstruction; we
remember the days Of Mahoneism; we
remember the sorrow, the affection and
the humiliation which the Republican
party brought upon the South. And
when we remember we know how the
Psalmest felt when he spoke of hating
some things with holy hatred.
Yes, Judge Lewis was a member OF
the Republican party in reconstruction
times. He was a Republican in Ma
hone times. He held Office under the
Malone regime. He is a fine gentle
man, but he is a Republican, recon-
struction Republican, Malone Repub-
lican. How can any Democrat think of
voting for him. Richmond Times-Dis-
patch.
Now this is the kind of high-plane
campaign the Democratic press has
been so eager to have. The Times-Dis-
patch has such a convenient memory
that it remembers things about "the
fine gentlemen" Judge Lewis, that
were never existent. If it's memory
had been a little more certain and
less convenient it would have
remembered that in the days of recon-
struction Judge Lewis was "a youth at
the University of Virginia, not old
enough to vote. 1t would also have
found out, if it desired to know the
truth, that his first vote was cast for
striking out the Objectionable clauses
of the Underwood Constitution. 1t
might have also found out that as Pres
ident of the Court of Appeals, under
what Democrats are pleased to call the
Malone regime, he was one of the best
exemplars of non-partisan judge who
has ever been on the bench in Virginia;
that he was a judge after whom the
present judiciary of Virginia would dc
we'll to pattern. Instead of asking
GLOW can any Democrat think of vot-
ing for him" our Richmond contempt
rary might well have asked, GLOW car
any honest, self-respecting Democrat
or Republican wish to vote against
Judge Lewis and for Claude A. Swan
SOM" 1t seems, however, that the
Times-Dispatch prefers to make politi
cal enemies for the ''fne gentleman
by insidious appeals to the prejudicef
of its readers.

The Democrats now say it will cost
too much to supply free books to free
schools, but they promised to give free
books twenty years ago, when the
State was not half as able to furnish
them as it is now. The effort to carry
out that pledge, which was made first
in the Republican platform and then
in the Democratic platform, was defeat
ed in the Legislature by Democratic
members.

AgufnaIdo.

James G. Ross. who has just re- turned on a visit after six years spent in the United States customs service in Manila. says that when Aguinaldo accepted an invitation to join in the reception to Secretary Taft's party he gave an exhibition of native pride whicb forced the admiration of all, and as he walked down the aisle of the re- ception hall he attracted quite as much attention as the Secretary of War him- self.
 "Aguinaldo never was a really great man. He Is not a genius in any sense of the term, but is crafty. cruel and interruptions. The strongest evidence of greatness he ever portrayed has been since he retired to private life. His conduct has been such as to more firm. ly establish his hold upon the people. He has quietly settled down to the simple life of farmer. and in spite of the efforts to- heap honors upon him ha has held aloof.A

necessary for It's transportation. Bas-
 ing It's plans upon these figures, the
 railroad makes ready to concentrate
 cars at points of need just as the gen.
 erai concentrates his men.
 The idea in the railroad mans mind
 is to get cars to the region of the cen tral West at any cost. Expense Is al- most a forgotten item. Every one, from the general traffic manager down
 to even the station agent, receives gen. eral orders as to the disposition of all cars. They are begged, borrowed and bought-in fact procured in every pos- sible way Agents In their efforts to serve the farmers have been known to
 steal trains of "empties" in order that the grain movement of their particular
 districts might be facilitated. But since the natural flow of cars to the grain
 region of the Central West would not he sufficient to take care of this rush of business the railroads find It neces- sary to attract more than an ordinary
 supply.
 Countries in which the government controls the railroads and that their rates are never lowered. for the raii- road company does not dare to take the chance on what invariably results as A permanent change. But here, with the elasticity which results from the
 
 efforts may be bent toward the concen- tration of cars at any desired point. The extra supply Is attracted in this way: There is always large amount of freight flowing steadily throughout the country which. unlike grain. for instance. does not move In any larger
 n,,an+itias at one time than at anoth-
 sT, But the shippers of this freight
 are always anxious to 6enefit t t,. them; s so ths railroads. in order to attract
 cars to the West. make reduced rates on west-bound merchandise of various classes.
 Shippers in all parts of the country

 opportunity and in this way the sup ?, . Lo,nd grain is tremendously in-
 creased since these cars. although com

loads of grain. It sounds simple enough to talk of sending trains to those points from which grain ship ments will be heaviest, but when 1t is remembered that all this grain must be moved without disturbing other shipping, the average citizen doubtless would be nonplussed with the problem which confronted him, and ready to ad- init the necessity of a wonderful sys- tenn developed by men with years and years of experience and training.
 The railroad man. in attacking the problem, understands the situation thoroughly. He has a given amount of freight to move, with given facilities. He is backed by a system evolved from years of training and experience. a sys- tenn which has built up American rail- roads until they lead the world, with rates from two to three times lower than those obtained in any other coun- try. and being free from Government regulation he finds that elasticity so necessary if changing conditions are to be met The railroad man understands too, that his prosperity depends upon the prosperity of the farmer, and that In order to move the crops or indeed even to make their production attrac- tive to the farmer. rates must be made sufficiently low to allow American grain to reach all the markets of the world.
 The railroad man and the farmer re- ally cooperate, and 1t Is extremely diff ficuIt. If not impossible. to distinguish just where the function of the former begins or that of the latter ends.
 Every one knows that the American farmer comes pretty near being a lord of creation. since he feeds not only this country, but even people in other parts of the world which produce grain. R,It the cause of his position is not often considered. It Is true that his

by getting his merchandise from the East. West or South, more cheaply, and the manufacturer. besides enjoying the advantage of lower rates. can buy breadstuffs at figure which would be out of the question were the present elastic policy of the railroads rendered impossible. The railroads are benefit ed In spite of lower rates by the tre- mendous increase of freight, so that the prosperity of one interest is the prosperity of all. The railroads can only prosper through the prosperity of their customers, and to this co-opern- tion Is really due the supremacy of the American farmer. One may wonder why, for instance. the German farmer finds 1t impossible to compete against his American cousin. and why 1t is that Germany consumes grain grown in this country; but the fact of the matter is that the whole difference lies in the attitude of the two governments toward their respective railroads.
 The railroad man, in the gigantic game which he plays in the transpor- tation of the country's grain to the markets of the world, takes all these conditions into consideration. and as- serts that to them alone can be given the credit for the fact that our farmer enjoys rates from 100 to 200 per cent lower than those prevailing anywhere else in the world.

Chicago. Sept. 30-This Is the season of the year when American railroads are taxed to their utmost, Tor the au- turnn days are the time when the crops are moved. Few realize the extent or the railroad mans problem. yet some idea of its magnitude may De gained from a statement of the value or the country's agricultural products. This year the grain crops will approximate s4. 0OO 0OO, 900 In value, a sum four times that of the national debt, and sufficient to give every man, woman and child Tn the country fifty dollars. Two-thirds of this crop will be fed to livestock or moved to mills by wagons in the districts in which 1t is grown. but the remaining third will travel to every part of the world, and it is in the nov ing of this part that the railroad man finds his great task.
 This year will see crops of such size that that part which comes to the rail- roads will aggregate 1,5OO,000 carloads of freight, for the moving of which at one time nearly 3s.000 locomotives would be required. These cars and To- comotfyes, if placed in a single train, would reach halfway around the world. and since the supply of freight cars in the country Is only a trife in excess of 1,50O 900. with something like Ia 900 locomotives, one may imagine the
 worries of the railroad man in moving a single item of freight amounting ir yolnme to nearly the total capacity oS thA rolling stock of all the country's raiiroads. To the railroad man 1t is a ~sroe of chess played on a board 5000 1iIes square. with freight trains for ntsces to be moved hither and thither in hundred miles jumps.
