Montapue's Machine.
From the Blackstone News

lETODl lI6 DldShObOhN
One of the numerous railing accusa-
tions which the Governor is bringing
AGAINST Senator Martin is that the
Senator il the owner and occupler OF
"a machine" Mr. Ashton Stark, In
recent letter to the Richmond News
Leader, correctly defines amachine as
follows: ga machine is a ponucal
mechanism run by patronage. In
the national arena it is fed by Federal
patronage, in State politics 1t Is the
patronage of the Governorthat lmpels
it." :
This leads to the query: If there IS
a machine in Virginia, who runs IL anu
in whose behalf is it run?
Senator Martin is Democrat ana
has no Federal patronage. Governor
Montague has more patronage un9er
the new Constitution than any other
Governor of Virginia ever possessed.
He controls in large part the pubic,
school machinery and absolutely all
of the great charitable institutions
He controls the State penitentlary
with all of its great expenditures. lie
has the appointment of the Corpora
ton Commission and the military de-
nartment is under his charge and con-
troll. IL.
Out of his appointees he has built
his machine and the cogs are to be
found in every county of the State.
All of his numerous appointees are
TO be found lined up for the Governor
| AS Senator Martin has no appointees
lin Virginia, he has no material out OF
which he could, even if he wished,
build up a machine. He has no men
linked to him by tie of political favor
and patronage. f.,
The men who are for him are FOL
him neither because of favors recelv'
ed nor favors expected. They are FOL
} him because they approve of his RECORD
and sincerely believe him to be the
best man to succeed himself. -.
Another reflection presents itself
If the politics of Virginia is controlled
by machine, how does 1t harper
: that Governor Montague has Jared 81

2 United States District Attorney, thel
Attorney General, and then Cover

which put the Governor in these con
7 spicuous places or was it the Montague
l machine?
1 Those who know how Attorney
= General Montague worked the schoc
4 system to make himself Governor ca
: readily answer that question.

Hon. Claude A. Swanson has shown
up well throughout his whole canvass
but of late has repealed all attacks
made against him in way to con-
vince everyone that he will fill the
office of Governor, if he should be
elected, with honor to himself and
credit to the State. No mistake will
be made in our opinion, if he is the
next Executive of the old Common
wealth.

ROMANTIC Necklace story.

There is a romantic story attaching
to the great rope of pearls worn by the
Princess Fredericka of Hanover at re-
cent functions. They are magnificent
specimens and very old Centuries ago
princess of the house loved them 50
that they were buried with her. Bit
in process of time the great grief of
her relatives grew gradually fainter
and fainter until they began to w1is
per what a shame it was that such @io
rious jewels should be wasted One
day the princess tomb was opened
and the pearl necklace was taken from
her neck. But the pearls were spoiled
They had lost their luster and beauty
The new owner wept over them ard
dreamed about them and her dream
told her that three generations of love
ly women would have to wear them
before their luster returned. Three
lovely princesses did wear them, and
they are now pearls without peers

The German For ..Furnace..

Professor Oncken, who is lecturing
at the University of Chicago on His
tory" is a most accomplished linguist.
He spoke English almost without a
foreign accent after being in Tendon Il
month. He is said never to be at a
loss for an English word, though he
was once for the German equivalent of
common one. Some one had asked
him at the Quadrangle club, Herr
Onclen, what is the German word for
furnaceY After hesitating a long
while Herr Oncken gave the German
equivalent for what would translate
in English ''the central heating plant"
He was as much amused as the Quad
RANGERS at not being able to give
better German synonym, and the
laugh was general when somebody
suggested, Fancy your wife asking
you the last thing at night, My dear,
did you tend to the central heating

William E. Curtis, in the Chicago
Record-Herald, says: 1.-THE residential

Of town seems to grow worse instead
of better. The houses are all built of
wood, for fear of earthquakes, and COW
cred with fantastic gingerbread work
limitations of bird cages, vegetable
crates, dog kennels, sewing baskets,
wedding cakes and all kinds of absurd
and preposterous lathe and sawed
work. Lumber is cheap, and when a
man puts up house in San Francisco
he tells his architect or his builder to
tack on porch or balcony wherever
he can, to conceal the outside walls as
much as possible with wooden EN-
broidery and fancy trimmings and to
make it as ridiculous as possible. If
you will take the trouble to drive
around through the new part of town
you will notice that the fronts of the
houses are more like a Turkish kiosk
than they were five years ago and that
they are growing worse instead of bet

He sits on a throne of scarlet, and
probably the court carpenters have

tectorate folks have to be economical
in Uganda, and king must grow up
to his throne and can't have custom
made one every time he has growing

of Uganda was every inch king, no
matter how few his inches. So sacred,
so supra purple was he that the re-
mains of his food had TO be buried lest
it's sacredness strike dead some unhap-
py subject. The British have changed
all that. Daudi-we wish we had a

THE BRITISH SOLDIER.
His Life Seems to BE One Round of
Misery and Filth.


Misery and Filth.
Some of the reasons why Great Brit
ain finds it difficult to get recruits for
the army are told by an English writer:
In cold weather the coal supply for
each room for the week rarely lasts
half that time, and 1t becomes neces-
sary for the men to buy coal for the
rest of the week out of their own peck
cts. In food, clothing and almost
everything else the free issue is far too
small. To provide tea, sugar, milk,
butter, vegetables and other luxuries
the soldier is allowed threepence
day. The greater part of a mans pay
is swallowed up by the purchase Of
food. In addition to this, the soldier
has to pay out of his own pocket for
the keeping up of his kit as well as for
all the necessary articles used for
cleaning it, such as backing, pipe clay,
brass polish, and in the case of cav
airy, saddle soap and burnishers. Then
there are innumerable other charges
put upon him.
'eWhen a soldier first joins the serv-
ice he is supplied with free issue OF
everything, including a tiny piece OF
soap, which, like the greater portion of
his kit, is supposed to last him his
seven years, or twenty-one years, If he
extends his service. The same remark
applies to his socks, undertaking and
all his small kit, while his uniform and
boots are supposed to last two years,
and all repairs have to be betrayed out
of his own pocket. However careful a
man may be, it is impossible for him to
make such things as socks and shirts
last for seven years.
"Another evil is the scarcity of eat
ing utensils. Rarely are there plate
and basin for every man. Many re-
cruit, after leaving a comfortable home,
has found himself sitting down to
breakfast at a table where there are
twenty-five or thirty men with half
dozen basins between them. Cups and
saucers are not known. Nor is it at all
an uncommon thing to see two men eat
ing their dinners off the same plate or
even off the bare table itself. For the
most part, meals are eaten in shirt
sleeves with hats on, while in every
room few men will be short of knives
and forks, for which, as substitutes,
they use their fingers, old razors and
pocketkniyes.
'sMost disgusting are the uses to
which bedding is put. Whenever any
equipment is to be drawn from stores
it is always carried in blankets off the
beds. Then, previous to all inspec-
lions of barrack rooms by the COM
manding officer, the floors are scrub
bed, after which, to keep them clean
until they are dry and the command
ing officer has been around, it is custom
airy to spread blankets over them. In
wet weather the blankets get into a
fearful condition by being trampled
on by men coming in out of the mud
and stables. The same blankets are
used for drawing rations. The regi-
ment that has its blankets washed once
in six months is the exception"
