born it is but fitting that it should look
up to the source from which all authority
is derived, because the ends which a
nation seeks in establishing a govern
ment are such as God only can secure.
Failure to express the characteristic Of
nation in its written constitution creates
an impression against it. The speaker
said our national constitution contained
no ackno wledgement of God, and urged
the Importance Of such an acknowledge
ment as exemplifying the fundamental
law Of the land. AS precedents for such
thing he quoted the Articles Of Con-
federation, the ordinance for the govern
ment of the great Northwest, and the
Emancipation Proclamation.
Rev. W. R. Laird spoke briefly on THE
Value of our State Sabbath Laws" lay
ing stress upon their Importance as a
safeguard to the spiritual life OF the
nation. The fourth commandment is
designed to secure for all men, for one
day in seven, freedom from toll. We need
clear thinking on this question, and a
growth of public sentiment with reference
to the passage and enforcement of Sab
bath laws.
The conference closed on Thursday
evening with an address by Mrs. II. N.
Turner on THE relation of the saloon to
youth" and one by States Attorney
Thompson on "The enforcement Of law"
Mrs. Turner characterized the saloon as
destructive of young manhood and gen
orally demoralizing to the community.
She took issue with those who claimed
that the saloon had come to stay. and
insisted that the commercialism of the
twentieth century would eventually
drive the saloon out because it was a
detriment to business progress. Mr..
Thompson discussed the delays and fail
ures on the part of the courts in the
prosecution OF liquor cases, and the lack
of an insstent public sentiment as to the
enforcement of law. and maintained that
the remedy was entirely in the hands OF
the people, who could have the law
enforced if they really wanted it.
The conferences have not been very
largely attended. but the addresses dealt
with subjects that should be of vital
import TO every American citizen; they
were in special sense educational and
conducive to further thought and action

On Thursday morning Rev. D. c. Faris
OF West Barnet discussed "The Moral
Accountability OF Nations" holding that
nations are accountable because they
have to deal with moral persons; that
God gives each nation its own place and
defines its limits; that God gives his COM
mands to the nations; that he appointed
judges in Israel in order that his com.
mands might be enforced; that he
Furnishes nations for national sins; that
he expects nations to punish its citizens
who commit crimes; that he punished a
nation for the UNPUBLISHED crimes OF its
citizens. Mr.. Faris elaborated on these
points in helpful way and backed them
up by numerous citations from scripture.
DR.. Stevenson talked on THE forgive
ness OF national SINS" basing his line of
argument mainly on Scripture. He re-
called Moses intercession tor the people
OF Israel and Gods response by way of
pardon. He insisted that what God did
for these ancient people be was quite as
ready to do for the nations OF today,
and that it was emphatically the duty OF
the Christians of this age to strive for
the Strengthening of national morality
and to lntercede with God. as Moses did,
for the forgiveness of national sins.
AT the afternoon meeting Dr.Stevenson
dealt with National Christianity IN
fundamental law" maintaining that the
written constitution of a nation ought
to express the Christian characteristics Of
that nation. When a national power is

IMMIGRATION MEN HE,
 SENT IMPLICATIONS
TO EFFECT THAT THEY ARE EN- GAGEO WITH ME%lCANS IN
 SMUGGLING.
Chinese Over the Line-charge Is
 Made by Chinese Minister to Mexi- co city-Will Be Called on to Prove Assertions.

Immigration officers are considera- bly exercised over report recently sent out by the Chinese minister at Mexico City stating that laws of the United States preventing Chinese from entering that country were be- ing systematically violated through the connivance of Immigration inspec- tors. One of the latter said yester- day that he was satisfied that this was an error. and in connection with the remark presented the following clipping from the Fl Psso Herald:
 Concerning a published interview from Mexico City to the effect that money is all that is necessary to se- cure the entrance of Chinese into the United States from Mexico along the border between the two countries, T. F. Schumacher. of Fl Paso. chief of the immigration department. said yesterday that the report from Mexi- leo City duplicating the immigration inspectors, was simply reply 10 cer- tain charges he had made when he first came 10 Fl Paso.
 AS soon as I became thoroughly acquainted with the situation here. I forwarded a report to Washington tell ling 0f the evidently organized lands .Cf s-gSriers that were operating along he border and having agents lon both sides of the river A copy of this report has been sent by the state department to Mexico City and this interview is probably the reply t0 that statement
 "i have investigated the subject very thoroughly, and believe I un- dc-stand the workings of this sys- tem. l. is well organized and they are bringing Chinese into the United States. but I am positive that it is not with the connivaace of any Of the present force of inspectors.
 The report to which he referred and which has been given a wide pub licity, IS as follows:
 Tn a published interview Liang Haun. the Chinese charge d'affaires in Mexico City. says that he has eyi- dence which proves that an organized system of smuggling Chinese from Mexico into the United States is in op- eration. He asserts that from S150 to S2OO gold per head is the price paid for the delivery of Chinese in Mexico Ito parties in San Francisco and this money is divided between the agents and the United States immigration officers.
 'Haun declares he has in his pos session absolutely incontroyertible evidence of the truth of his state ment that it is with the connivance of certain immigration officers that the Chinese are able to get across the Rio Grande. His charge of bribery is not broad enough to include the chiefs .of the immigration stations slong the river, but he declares that 1t would be practically impossible for the average Chinese to get into the United States by way of Mexico if he were not given

Who Will You SUPPORT?

While it is difficult to eliminate
personalities and comparison of
qualifications and ability of the
competing candidates, the contest
as between Montague and Martin
Is really contest between the peo-
pie on the one hand and the politi-
clans and Office holders on the other
Montague stands as the champion of
the people, an able and eloouent
defender of their rights; while. on
the other hand, Mr.. Martin seeks
to secure his election by and thro'
an organization composed of politi-
clans and Office-holders, which is
subservient to his behests. When
he. the tycoon, takes snuff, every
courthouse ring in the state begins
to sneeze. He pulls a wire. and
every henchman moves with the
agility of jack in the box. He
sounds a note and the vibration
echoes and re-echoes wherever the
tribe are gathered. They all speak
the same language. 1t all means.
Martin and his friends. Give Mar
TIN your support. and Martin and
all of his henchmen will support
you Gf you are for office is the
language of the tribe. Il am for
my friends" says Mr.. Martin.
Why! Because my friends are for
me-" he might have added with
equal truth. The people are not
IN it. Mr.. Martin cares nothing
for the people. He won his fight
In 1893 and secured his seat in the
United State Senate, not by the
Will of the people, but without re-
gard to them; and in doing so en-
ployed the most disgraceful meth
DDS. While the people we're en-
gagged in their usualavocations. new
erdreaming of danger, certainly not
from their so called friends, they
were sold as so many sheep, and
bought 10y railroad money. And
thus Mr.. Martin secured a senate
rial toga. Such an outrage has no
parallel in the history of Virginia,
nor perhaps OF any other State in

TINE CHANGES ALL THINGS"

In 1893 the Petersburg Index
Appeal was not a supporter of Mr..
Martin. In fact, it was anything
else but supporter. The paper
Is edited by the same editor now as
then, and it is now one of the
strongest pro-NIartin papers in the
State. Why this great change.
Some of the articles printed by
the lndeX-Appeal in 1898 are very
amusing now, especially since that
paper has become such an enthusi-
astic supporter of Mr.. Martin.
Forinstance, the IndeX-Appeal said
on November %, 1903:
We heara great deal now a-days
about the senatorial candidacy of
Mr.. Tom Martin, of Albemarle.
Who Is Mr.. Tom Martin, of Albe-
marie, anyhow"

The Mann Law.

The "Mann Law" Is an amendment to
the general revenue law, just seven lines
in length, aud provides the method OF
securing license 10 sell liquor in the
country. Il does not apply TO cities,
towns OF over five hundred Inhabitants.
or to watering places.
About forty thousand voters petiiioncd
the legislature TO enact law. The
Methodist, Baptist and Christian churches
by their official State bodies endorsed
the law, and all the other churches favor
it. IL was passed by Democratic leg
islature, and signed by Democratic
Governor, and will be found in the Acts
Of Assembly l9O2.34. page 900, lines 49,
10. Ii became effective April 10th 1908
The law is not prohibitive measure.
Il merely provides that before license
TO sell liquor in the country can be
granted, the Court must be satisfied
1. That the applicant will superintend
the business aud conduct an orderly
house
,. That the place is one at which
police protection is afforded
3. That majority Of the qualified
voters in the magistcrial district favor
