Free School Books.

An able and well Informed attorney.
at-law has sent US the following inter.
estiDg and Instructive communication
on the subject of free school books
To the editor of the Spectator.
According to a statement in a pamph-
let sent out by G.. b. Slemp, Chairman
of the Republican committe, there was
in the treasury of Virginia On Oct. LIST,
1905, $627 6S5 81, money all derived
from the franchise tax On railroads.
made possible by the new constitution
which the Republicans abuse so much.
The Republicans promise to use this
money in furnishing free school books,
one third of which would go to the
negroes, who pay less than one dollar
in twenty five for their own schools.
The Democrats promise to expend
tie same, and to keep on expanding
the money derived from the same
source, in the following manner:
1st-To the public schools by fur
nishing more money for the pay of
teaches, so that better teachers can be
procured, and the terms prolonged.
2nd-To the betterment of public
roads by giving State aid to the same.
3rd-By increasing the pensions of
the old Confederate soldiers.
All of which things are strictly in
accord with the platforms and purpOs
es of the Democratic party. AT the
last State convention held in Rich
mOnd, the following plank was insert
ed: Resolved, that the hope of De
mocracy lies In the defusiOn of intel
ligence among the masses, and to this
end the. Democratic PARTY pledges itself
to the policy of giving the children of
this commonwealth better facilities
for primary education, and to this
end favors the increase of State ap
for that purpose. -
1t is a significant fact that in their
platform adopted bv the Republicans
at Roanoke on Aug Sth last, not one
word is said about pensions. This is
not remarkable considering the his
tory of their party and the record of
the men controlling it. Out of the
abundance of the surplus of the State
they would give free books to the ne
yroes, but not another crumb to the
Did Confederate soldiers. b.

TO THE LATE JUDGE MCLAUGHLIN.

We are in receipt of q memorial to
the late Judge William Mclaughlin of
this circuit, prepared by Mr.. Charles
Curry of the StauntOn bar. 1t is a
neatly printed pamphlet of 20 pages
and as frontispiece contains all ex-
cellent likeness of the subject of the
sketch. We believe Mr.. Curry read
this paper before the Virginia Bar AS
sOciation. but whether so or not it is
worthy to be read there or in any
other presence.
Mr.. Curry has gatheaed many facts
touching the life, character and &C
cOmplishments of this remarkable
jurist and man, and those who have
not seen this pamphlet will, we think,
read it with interest, especially those
who knew Judge Mclaughlin through
out his district, which comprised the
counties of Augusta, Rockingham.
Rockbridge, Highland, Allegheny and
Bath.
The opening paragraph is as follows:
william Mclaughlin was born Janu.
airy 6. 1928. and was the youngest of
ten children, all of whom died in child
hood, except Margaretta Ayres and
himself. His father was Edward Irving
Mclaughlin, and his mother Betsy,
whose maiden name was Nesbit, both
of pure Scotch. Irish stock. His grand
father, Edward McLaug him, was an
Indian fighter and served in the Rev
olutioIary army; and his grandmother
was herself an Indian fighter-a hardy
Scotch Irish heroine, fearless, brave,
and cool headed, and mentioned in
Waddell's Annals of Augusta county
as one of the defenders of Fort Dick
enson against an Indian assault in
1857
The tribute ends as follows: I'VE
can always look with hope to the fu-
ture when we have an example to fol.
low like this crest character, as son,
student, chain bearer and surveyor,
lawyer and soldier, citizen and schOl-
ar. statesman and judge. He was al
ways the same splendid man whether
at the bar or in the council chamber,
whether in the smoke or fire of battle,
or wearing the spOtless ermine. No
blot was on his escutcheOn, but light,
pure. beautiful and strong in all his
life, and let it shine on forever to lead
the way up higher"
Judge Mclaughlin died Aug. IS, 1898,
at his home in Lexington, Va, aged
II years.

flict everybody is told. Is he sincere,
is he determined, is be really making
fight for popular rights are ques-
tiOns asked on all sides. The people
seem convinced that he is, the corpO
rations seem to look on him as human,
and whilst they admit that he is
peculiar and strenuous bit of humani
ty, they have had but little trouble
heretofore in conquering millions of
men why should they regard this man
as more than worm to be crushed

We are not ready to leap into the
list Of Southern adorers of Mr.. Roose-

due praise for all the good things he

pie. His return for their kindness was
the installation of the negro Dr. Crum
in the custom house there. He may,
after his return from this trip, throw
the South rs he did in Charleston,
punches OF African roses. Who can
tell ? Still this country follows the
man who succeeds, the man who &C.
cOmplishes results. Let Mr.. Roosevelt
continue his victories and he will have
behind him an invincible army. But
all are asking what Is he seeking. is he
not after the presidency again?

A FINE EXCHANGE.

Senator German of Maryland has
announced to the people Of that State
that he will retire from politics if they
will adopt the Poe amendment to the
constitution. This amendment is the
one intended to dlsfrancise the ne
groes. Just why Senator German
should hold out such a bait to the
Maryland people we cannot tell. Many
who are opposed to the amendment
will be strongly inclined to vote for it
to get rid of the Senator. Under these
conditions we do not see how the
amendment can fail, when it's adoption
means getting rid of the negro vote
and Senator German at one and the
same time. If Senator German could
enlarge his proposition and include a
lot of Maryland politicians who have
been protesting Democracy but sup
porting Republicanism for years, how
happy the State OF Mary land would
be. 1t would be like burning pest
house.

local disease, and prescribed local rem

with local treatment, pronounced it in
