their views points of interest concerning the pres

retail district was confined three blocks and the
wholesale section to block; there 100 blocks

=. -. y = IMMATURE POLITICAL THEORIES

Extraordinary interest was manifested this year in
celebrating the anniversary of Jefersons birth, The
occasion was observed attingy in most American cities
by the party of which Jefferson was the recognized
founder. At banquets in those cities leading Democrats
eoauenty extoed JeFersons political wisdom and his
statesmanshp.
And all the speakers urged the Democratic party TO
lead the American people back the sane principles
Of government that Jefferson formulated for the
guidance of his countrymen.
There is notable difference however in the in.
depreciation by of the speakers on what has
come to be called "Jeffersonian Democracy" In Chi.
cago, for instance speakers at the banquet assumed
that Jefferson alive today he would go the full
length In support of the idea of paternal government
William Bryan is credited with saying in the
OF his address the Chicago banquet that f jefferson
were alive today he would be of the Dunno brand Of
Democracyin favor of public ownership as the great
est good to the greatest number"
It is folly to speculate about what Jefferson would
think or do II he were in the flesh Public
ship, as understood today, had not been thought Of
probably. in his lifetime. There is not much doubt
that he would be opposed to such gigantic monoplies
as have grown up in the United States within recent
years, but 1t does not follow, by any means that he
would be in favor of government paternalism as a
remedy.
study of Jefferson's character gives assurance
that he would have acted mpulsvey in taking up
new theory That is what leading Chicago Demo-
Gratis seem to be doing Having an election on
the issue Of municipal ownership of the cy's transit
system, they go wild the broader idea Of
paternasm.
One of the Chicago speakers for instance alluded
Mayor Dunno the Democratic heir because of his
election the transit ownership issue. The Heralds
report AT every mention of the municipal owner
ship victory last week the gathering into Mysteries
and when it was remarked by speaker after speaker
that the victory in Chicago foreold similar victory in
the nation in 1908, with public ownership of the rail-
roads the party slogan yelled themselves hoarse
hats flew in the air and the tables pounded like
mad"
Three years hence that slogan possibly may be
adopted by the Democratic party. Plenty of time for
thought and study will elapse before the hubbub of the
next presidential campaign begins.
There will be ample time, for instance, to see how
municipal ownership works in Chicago. If that expert
ment proves to be quite satisfactory we'll kindred
experiments in other cities ii obviously will be wise
expand the idea But there Is likelihood that the
Democratic party will do any chasing of unried theories
in 1908.
"a singed cat breads the fire."
1t is nearly three years too early to think seriously
about politics in 1908 The debris from the last cleo
ton has barely been cleared away. 1t will be time
enough think of climbing that 1908 hill we come
within sight of it.

FLYING SNAKE IN VIRGINIA.
Reptile With Wings, That Fed on
Birds, Killed in King George.

A most remarkable and uncommon
dying snake" that was captured and
killed at Berry Plain" the home of
John S. Dickinson, few days ago, has
attracted wide attention.
The curious reptile was first noticed
flying about in the air, presenting the
appearance of an ordinary snake at
tached to strange looking bird.
AS far as is known, 1t never once de.
scended to the earth and crawled On
the ground, after the manner of
snakes. but 1t would occasionally
alight in trees and catch such birds as
best suited its fancy.
1t was finally killed and proved to
be five feet long and about one inch
in diameter of body. 1t had wings of
good size, covered with feathers.
Berry Plain where the curious
thing made its advent and met its un-
timely end, is one of the finest planta-
tions In King George, being situated
on the banks Of the Rappahannock. II
Is conjectured by some that the "iiying
snake" may Lave come from an i'm.
penetrable marsh OF the river or some
neighboring creek.-New York Herald.
