Hon. John Hay. Secretary of State.
died at his home. near Lake Sunafree.
New Hampshire on Friday night, af
ter long illness The end came sud-
denly and unexpectedly. He pass ed a
comfortable day, and when DR.. Scud-
der called he found the patient much
improved all symptoms being favorable
and his condition so satisfactory that
at ten O'Clock the doctors and enuire
household retired for the night with
the exception of the nurse. who re-
manned in the sick chamber. At eleven
O'Clock the nurse looked at the patient
who was resting quietly. At midnight,
however, he called her and she noticed
a serious change for the worse. AT
once she summoned Drs. Scudder and
Murphy, as well as Mrs. Hay, and but
short time after, he passed away.

HOW THE GREASE WILL BE APPLIED,

There is now an effort on the part of
many politicians to raise funds by
subscription to pay the expenses of the
approaching primaries. 1t has devel-
oped that the assessment of candidates
no matter how heavy, will not suffice,
and as few have been found who are
willing to be inundated on the altar of
party and serve without pay, there
must be money. The railroads and
other corporations which we are told
once gave of their substance freely
toward the election of a certain candi.
date, seem backward this time in going
forward. 1t is only on Legislatures
or small bodies we learn that these
givers bestOw their hard earned cash.
The people are too uncertain,
too hard to get at. There is no lobby
where the people assemble, no chance
to whisper in their ear. No opportu-
nifty to play the game Of politics with
them. This being the sad condition of
existing affairs something must be
done. and the only way is to seek pop.
ular subscription. We trust these
may be forth coming. Some will be
slow, however. to put up their money
and let it go into the hands of a com.
mittee standing SO overwhelmingly for
the interest of one candidate, as does
the present State Committee. We do
not know how money il handled by
the committee, but a committee is
nothing more than body of ordinary
men, who under most circumstances
do not aid a cause with which thew are
not in sympathy. 1t is certain, there.
fore, that this committee is not going
to throw money around in Montague
districts, and it is also certain that
the Martin precincts will not be allow.
ed to go begging.
1t is funny situation and possibly
whatever the committee does with the
funds, there may be some who will say
they should have done otherwise. Yet
we do not look for any more liberality
and fair treatment from the committee
In this, than in anything else it has
done. The machine will most like.
ly grease the journal it thinks needs
1t, and it will not be hard to tell which
journals they will be.

every day to men who are graduates
of colleges of forestry. Both the States
and large private lumber concerns are
offering fine salaries to men of this
class The Navy and the Army are
both looking for young surgeons. The
Panama Canal Commission is looking
daily for large numbers of men who
have ability and energy in almost any
line and if they have special educa-
tiOn such for instance as drawing, en-
gineering, stenography, etc, they can
command almost their own figure. The
young man who starts out In life with
out some special training is, however,
seriously handicapped. AS the use of
specialists increases, the supply of
lust plain clerks" grows greater in
proportion to the demand and the re-
suit is that this class of men are re-
ceiving poorer pay than ever, while the
necessities of life are constantly in
creasing in price, despite the glowing
arguments to the contrary which La.
Dor Commissioner Carroll d. Wright
was able to compile "for campaign
purposes only.
The resignation of Chief Engineer
Wallace of the Panama Canal Commits
sion has not worked to the serious in
jury of the government, as his place
has been promptly filled. Nevertheless,
it was an unjust preceding. So far.
he has spent practically his entire
time acquiring a knowledge of the
problems with which he was preparing
to deal and his services in any other re-
spect have not been worth any mate
rial proportion Of his salary. Having
acquired this knowledge and now be-
ing ready to perfect his engineering
organization, he might in the next
year have proved of invaluable service
to the government, whereas. as it is
new man must now be broken in and
must spend many months acquiring
the same knowledge which Mr.. Wal
lace has, presumably acquired during
the year just ended.
People who know the new Chief En-
queer, John F. Stevens, predict great
things for him. That he is an able en-
gineer and an exceptionally able adj
ministrator seem to be fact beyond
all question and as he is not to be made
a member of the commission, at least
until time has served to demonstrate
whether or not he will prove congenial
to Chairman Shonts and Governor
Magoon, there does not seem to be
much prospect of friction in the CON-
mission In the near future. 1t is gen.
orally admitted that Secretary Taft
was entirely warranted in the scathlng
datribe which he delivered to Mr.. Wal
lace, the retiring engineer and which
he later made public.

For a Fair Senatorial Primary.

Developments in Richmond seem to
indicate that there is serious doubt as
to whether the approaching Senatorial
primary will be conducted along fair
lines. The Executive Committee in
that city has refused Governor Mon
tague representation in the primary, al
though he expressed himself as willing
to have the judge named by a commit
tee of three, two of whom should be
supporters of his opponent.
This does not argue very we'll for the
purpose entertained in regard to the
Richmond primaries. When candi-
date is denied representation, even
though a representation is to be chosen
by supporters of his opponent. the In
ference is inevitable that there is sOme-
square primary which the people of the
State of Virginia expect both in the
Gubernatorlal and Senatorial contests.
We are persuaded that the time has
come when the machine methods that
have in the past prevailed over the
choice of the majority of the Demo-
cratic voters of Virginia will react up
on the heads of those who attempt to
practice them. In all sincerity, at
tempts have been made to purify both
the primary and general elections in
the State of Virginia. That this is de-
manded by an aroused public senti-
ment there can be no doubt. That
sentiment has been made manifest in
practically all of the elections for the
last three or four years. Anyone who
attempts to stifie it is likely to find
that he has taken the wrong tack

WARS AND RUM0RS OF WARS.

Russia and Japan have arranged as
to the place of their peace conference,
and each has named plenipotentiaries.
The meeting will take place about the
1st of August in Washington, and it
is now believed there will not be an
other battle before that time. Japan
would enter into no negotiations look
ing to an armistice, nor would she con-
fer or lay down her terms until she was
fully assured that Russia was sincere
in her desire for peace, This has been
vouchsafed, and it is presumed that
bloodshed will cease in that portion of
the world.
There is a warlike spirit in the air
in other quarters, however. Germany
is spelling to fight somebody. She has
tried her best to pick a quarrel with
France, over what is termed 1.-The
Moroccan question. She found
France negotiating with England as
to certain trade relations. This was
taken as pretext, to start a quarrel.
No sooner was the pretext given than
Willsam II, who since Russia 3 humil.
iation, imagines himself the dominant
power of Europe. in slang phrase 1.-The
chief pebble on the beach," began bull
lying. He spoke to France in severe
terms. France seeing his temper
parleyed, and gave some diplomatic
answers, at the same time increased
her forces on the frontier and strength
ened some forts. This was seized
ON as another pretext by William, who
informed France that any more of
that would be construed as hostile
acts. After a while France, evidently
encouraged by England, Informed the
chafing William that she would do
certain things, but as to resembling
her compact as to trade with England
in Moroccan ports, that she could not
do. She saw that Germany had set
out to bully her, and had this remark
able demand been acceded to France
would have been little better than a
vassal to Germany. France also saw
that over so small question William
could not destroy the peace of Europe.
SO selling on that fact and fortifying
herself behind such position, she has
we'll nigh gotten the best of Germany
in the controversy.
During this time there has been a
split between Norway and Sweden.
The troubles leading up to this almost
war, if indeed it does not prove to be
one soon, are numerous. We will not
detail them here. but at this moment
each country has armed men in the
field, their navies, such as they are,
are being trimmed for action, and We
may soon hear that these two peace
loving countries are graphing with
each other in death struggle
All this time the heart of Russia Is
being rent by internal dissensions.
Her naval forces are disOrdered and q
mutlny has occurred. thousands have
been killed and wounded in internecine
troubles, and a revolution is hourly
expected. Thus at this time when
civilization is at it's height men are as
ready to kill one another as when
there were only four persons existing,
two of whom We're brothers, and one
Of the name of Cain. slew his brother
Of the name of Abel.

The StauntOn Horse Show which
takes place here on August. Sth, 9th

this year. The large prize list, the
many horses of note, and the local in

of the greatest shows of the State.
We should excel any others in short
time for no county can raise better
horses than Augusta.

THE KINGS DAUGHTERS HOSPITAL.

dedicated Saturday, July LIST, 1905, at
Staunton, Va.)
Twas Eve who wept DER her dead son
When Mother Earth was in her dawn,
Twas then that sorrow first begun,
Twas then the bowstring first was
drawn,
Which sent those cold remorseless darts
Into the two first human hearts,
That 'er drew breath.
And since that day, none but hath known
What anguish is, or suffered pain,
None hath been freed from sign or grOan;
And none will ever be again.
Yet comforting it is to know,
That whom He lOveth, here below.
He chasteneth.
But as we must afflicted be,
And writhe in pain, and then must die,
How much the gift Of Charity,
To suffering mortals doth imply;
And were the good Samaritan,
Exemplified in every man.
weep,
And "3ive to his beloved, Sleep"
Adown the long hard road of Time,
By Nations, Peoples, Scots, and Creeds
Are builded monuments sublime.
The evidence of noble deeds.
But none shine forth in luster bold
As those upon whose tablets old,
Is the sweet story, interlined.
HE healed the sick and cured the blind.
Who readeth not with bated breath,
Where lepers, ten, were cleansed anG
healed;
The Widows Son. called back from
death;
The tomb Of Lazarus unsealed;
Where palsied men were made to walk
The blind to see, the dumb to talk,
And where 1.-The Great Physician" said
1.-THE damsel sleeps, She is not dead!
The King hath gone, and heals no more
But to His Daughters hath consigned,
The burden of the Cross he bore,
And babe them bear it, and be kind;
To them hath left the legacy,
Of soothing pain and misery,
To them hath sent command divine,
LAS unto me, so do to mine"
This monument attestS the zeal,
OF noble Daughters of the King,
Whose boundless love for others veal
Is such a theme, we love to sing.
The Angel touched Bethesda's pool,
The sick went in, and straight were well
So here are angel hands to rule,
And brighten by their magic spell.
