Senator Martin as Viewed by a
Washington Paper

Saturdays Washington Post says
editorially of Senator Martins re-elec-
ton:
1t is no reflection upon the merits
and abilities of Governor Montague
that the Democrats of Virginia have
voted to return the Hon. Thomas >.
Martin to the United States Senate.
Senator Martins ten years OF service
have not only proved his worth, but
have placed him in position of intiu'
ence that could not be reached by any
other Virginiau, however industrious
and gifted, for many years.
The argument that was used
against Senator Martin in the recent
campaign, to the effect that ne was a
mere srrand-boy for Yirginla,and that
he lacked the power to captiyate by
his eloquence tho Senate Of the pnieed
states, was very properly help instead
of an injury to him, Senator Martin
Mas been a faithful servant of Virginia
al the National Capital. He has at
tended strictly to business, and, with
combined diligence and Judgment, has
worked for the best interest OF the
State, while doing his share Of commit
tee work in n:tional legislation. The
people OF Virginis have wisely decided
to retain him where he will DO Of ser
vice.
1t is a healthful condition of affairs
In yirgipis when its people retain
hsrd-headed, earnest worker in the
Senate, he material interests Of Yir'
glnia are expanding with rapidity, and
in many ways the relations of the State
to the national government call for
untiring watchfulness OF her Repre-
sentatlves in Congress. In Senators
Daniels and Martin, the Old Dominion
is represented in the Senate with un-
exoelled prestige and effectiveness.
There is no occasion to send another
orator in Mr.. Martins place, while Viz
ginia is represented by the most pol
ished orator in the entire Senate. All
the prestige and lqster that may be
gained for the State by gifted speech
and scholarly attachments are repre-
seoted in the career and present
standing of Senator DaaIel. Although
his fame as an orator obscures the
fact that he is an Industrious and prac-
teal Senator, it is we'll for Virginia,
and gratifying to him, that he has
colleague who is co4genial and endow-
ed with genius fer pratioal affairs.
In common with other careful OBJ
servers of the workings of the govern
ment the Post takes no stock what
ever, in the criticism of Senators who
work diligently even selhshly--in the
interests of their States They are am
bassadors from che States to the Unit
ed States, and if they fall to further
the interests of their sovereign in all
proper and honorable ways they are
recreant to their trust. The influence
and prestige of New England Senators
are due in part to their long service,
and in part to the fact that they never
neglect an opportunity to further
the interests of the States which they
represent
The State of Virginia has found in
Senator Martin faithful servant, who
is honorably dlligent in protecting and
furthering it's interests. He has, there
fore. been chosen above all others for
another term. Virginia has chosen
wisely.

rpRMs OF PEACE At LAST

The civilized world rejolces 10
learn that the Russian and jap
anese ENJOYS yesterday at PORTS
mouth, N. H., agreed upon terms
bv which the bloody war which
has prevailed during the past
eighteen months in the Far East
will be Brought to speedy close.
..For the sake of humanity and
civilization, and as we believe, IN
the interest of both countries ana
the world, we have made peace. =
These are the words Of one OF the
Japanese peace commissioners In
explaining the reason for accedIng
to the demands of Russia with re-
florence tc indemnity. Thus is
brought to a close the bloodlest
war of modern times, in which
Japan has won brilliant victories,
and Russia suffered repeated de-
feats. But in the terms OF peace
Russia has won a great diplomatic
victory.
This happy conclusion OF the
peace conference will be greeted
throughout the world with salts
faction. and by Americans with
peculiar satisfaction because OF
the conspicuous part taken by
President Roosevelt, and he may
we'll be termed the "Great
Pacifcator.
Japan has conceded to Russia
her demands. Russia refused
indemnity. The island OF Sakhalin
is to be divided between the two
countries, with the understanding
that neither country is to fortify
its half. The terms of peace are
so friendly that q slight suspicion
is raised of a basis for a future
alliance.

taEE..AE
40 better insight into the real pro
gfess OF tho South in recent years
could be had than from an inspection
OF the last fguress prepared by the de-
partment OF agriculture showing the
efforts OF the South to increase her
supply OF farm animals. Where there
can be no doubu that rapid progress
has been made throughout the South
generally during the last ten years in
manufacturing, cotton planting and
other agricultural purs uits, the ex
pertinent OF stock raising was not un-
dertaken as a means of livelihood to
any ~appreciable kent until a few
years bog. The almost unpreoedcnt
ed number of hogs raised in the state
of Virginia and South Carolina during
the past year means that more corn
has necessarily been planted on which
TO feed them ard get them ready fer
the markets.
There are now on the farms OF the
United States 47.32O Oil hogs, and Of
tt La number the Southern states claim
OFer 100000. Toe total gain over
1904 for the United States Is 32l, 144
and the states OF Virginia, North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Kentucky and Tennes-
see, which embrace not moro than II
per cent. tf the area OF the United
States, get abCus 80 per cent. OF in.
crease over 1904. While, as stated,
tho growing Of corn has also increas
cd to a marked degree, 1t has not kept
pace with the amount necessary for
large stock raising. The area of corn
raising appears to be shiftiog to the
Southeast.
There are now on the farms Of Vir
glnia 767 .163 hog South Carolina,

While the increase in sheep raising
has not been SO noticeable as in that
of hog raising, all OF the Southern
states have made m Ill gains during
the last year. At this time there are
452 1913 sneep in the state Of Virginia,
