A Queens Mistake.

The Queen Of Roumana contributes
to the National Review an article on
''Thc Vocation of Woman" which con-
tains much that is good and Instructive,
but Her Majesty makes one very grave
blunder in her advice to wives. Speaking
of the relationship between husband and
wife, she says that the wife should not
permit her husband to hear how many
heavy signs she heaves. to know how
many burning tears she sheds in her
dark hours but should choke down her
signs and dry her eyes, SO that when
the husband comes home she may show
him always a smiling face. She says
further that men are Incapable Of UNI
Outstanding the nature of women, ana
that, therefore. the wife should not let
her husband into the secret chamber OF
her, thoughts. "An atmosphere OF SUI
prene dignity, something of sacred
halo" she concludes Invests the person
of those married women whose self-re-
spect compels them to lock within tfelr
own breasts the secret Of whatever dis
appointment and deception may have
been theirs"
We do not know what sort of men Her
Majesty had been assoclating with, but
she does a cruel injustice TO the chival-
rous American husband, who deems II
not only his right but his privilege to
have his wife come TO him In all her
troubles and worries, great and small
and pour out her hearts complaint and

and wife. by sharing their Joys the,
doubled them: by sharing their troubles
| they halved them That's the doctrine
| The man who requires his wife to con
ccal her heart-achcs and keep her trou
bles to herself Is a brute.

we are here to say that they will not
be tolerated, no matter what radical
measures may be necessity on the part
Of the decent Democrats to put an end 70
them. The spirit Of the Revolutionary
fathers Is still abroad in Virginia. Demo-
Gratis are not slaves, and they VIII not
be made the tools of political bosses and
trlcksters. There Is nothing in citizen
ship which the manly citizen values moro
highly than his right to cast a free
ballot and to have It honestly returned.
It Is n right which every man with a
spark Of manhood In him will fight for,
and tho sooner this fact is recognized and
fully realized the better IT will be for
the Democratic party.
Lessons from other States are album
dant. In Massachusetts,, in Indiana. In
Wisconsin,, and IN other sta tes the dolni-
nant party which had become corrupt
and arrogant, corrupt because it was
powerful and arrogant, and arrogant be-
cause It was corrupt, was met by an
independent organization composed Of
men of different party affliation and
swept from power. This warning comes
home TO virginia. and we say deliberately
and with all the emphasis at our COM
mand that If such frauds as were prnc-
ticed In tho Richmond primary are re-.
peated throughout.the state In the forth
coming primary, our conviction Is that
an independent party will spring up as
If BY magic, and at the next opportunity
give the Democratic party of Virginia
the worst thrashing It ever received. II
We have any knowledge whatever Of the
temper Of the people of Virginia, they.
will not be trifled with on this subject.
They are already sensitive about ma
chimes and rings. and they think that
the product of political machine is apt
10 be false return Of elections.

The Cause Of Yellow Fever

Tho most notable fact connected with
the present out break of yellow fever in
New Orleans Is the entire lack of ex-
element or even anxiety on The subject
Such an endemic. for II cannot he called
an Epidemic would, ten years ago. or
even five years ago. have created not
only a panic in the locality of The dis
ease, but have seriously affected the
values of stocks and produIs on the
market But now yellow fever breaks
out In New Orleans. and the only feeling
is one OF sympathy for the victims and
reproach of the authorities for allowing
60 unnecessary an afiilictIon.
is due to the notable discovery by DR..
Walter Reed, of Virginia, Surgeon OF
the United States Army, and his assist
ants DR.. Carroll and DR.. Aristdes Agra
monte, maAe.i in 1900 at Camp Lazear,
near Quanodes; Cuba, that yellow fever

Tasciatus,' or more recently called
.'stegomyia," and in no other way.
It had been suspected. even firmly be-
licvcd. before that time, that yellow
fever could be given BY the bite OF mos
quito, but 1t was not until DR.. Reed and
his associates carried out their COM
pletc plan of demonstration that 1t was
conclusvely shown that yellow fever
was not only given by the bite of this

In no other way, ana that the universally
accepted opinion of the medical profess
sion and the laity that yellow fever could
be given by infected articles capable of
containing and conveying germ disease
(formites) such as cloth. etc. was en-
.irely wrong, and that there was no
pther way of propagation OF yellow fever
Than by mosquitoes. OF course It was
conceded that you can catch man ant
hold him, and open his veins and injec,
the poisoned blood Of a yellow fcvc,
patient into him, and thus give It 10 thc
victim. but that Is the only other way
and that is not apt to produce an cpl

An Ounce of Prevention.

AZ soon as yellow fever made us ap-
ma rance in New Orleans the health az
,horities began a crusade IN behalf OF
cleanliness and santa tion,f Citizens were
warned 10 be careful and urged 10 aiea we
authorities in their endeavor to stamp
ont disease germs Of every description ana
put the entire city in perfect sa'i'ai'
condition.
rrhat Is fine, but why should New Or
leans or any other city wait TOT the
threat of an epidemic before inauguratlns
campaign for healthfulness? That is
one of the weaknesses OF US all. W iach
foresight. To use homely maximum,
we lock the stable after the horse mas
peen stolen. "The devil was sick, the
devil a monk would be; the devil got
. we'll, the devil a monk was ne.
If an epidemic OF typhoid fever should
break out in Richmond, there would be
.call to arms" at once Our board or
health would give warning and every cit
izen would begin to take precautions.
Back premises would be cleared and
sprinklcd with plentiful supply OF dis
lnfectants. The house would be swept
and garnIshed,''' and every attention
would be paid to the food and water sup
ply. All prudent persons would observe
the health rules to the letter
nut In common sense. why should not
these rules be observed and these pre-
cautions taken, in any event
Why walt for the signs Of an epidemic!
The danger of fever Is ever present and
esnecially is the danger great at this sea-
son, when vegetation Is rank and ap'
proa ching the state Of decay. 1t is the
part of wisdom TO be as cautious as
though there were the threat of an cpl
demic. 1t is the part Of wisdom 20 use

course Of precautlon as to preclude the

Tne United States Circuit Court has Just
!, nded down a decision OF some I'M
portance in connection with the attempt
Of asnumber OF prominent publishers e' slh
association to regulate the retail price
- which their hooks are to DO sold. = ne
publishers attitude was, OF course dc
tated by a desire to put o stop 70 inc
cut-rate i"1.ds'' policy Of the large de-
partn,er,t stores, thereby protecting the
small retailer and incidentally themselves.
Publishing houses OF such standing ana
numbers banded together as practically
TO control the book trade, and agreed that
and dealer who offered books for sale at
any lower figure than the specified net
price would be refused all supplies Tor
the future. The test came almost imme-
diately when large New York firm
bought a consignment Of books and SOLO
them at prices fixed without reference TO
any ones wishes but their own. The pub
fishers promptly brought suit, and have
now been defeated. Judge Ray IN handing
down his decision declared that the as
ISOLATED publishers proposed not only TO
infringe on.the rights Of the individual,
but also "to keep up the price or BOOKS
and to limit and restrain interstate COM
merce.,, This decision appears to be
grounded in the soundest OF law and the
strctest OF justice, and 1t is certainly one
that will meet with tho approval Of the
great majority Of the public, whether pur-
chasers OF books or not.
