FRIDAY EVENING. APRIL 20. 1906.

GOVERNOR SwANsON's address at the
University OF Virginia yesterday was a
brilliant feature in connection with the
celebration of Jefferson Day. The Cover
nor recalled the halcyon days of bis early
youth when he WAS student at the
University and in a fervid manner re-
produced scenes and incidents of by gone
wears, promised to do all 10 his power as
Governor for the enhancement OF the in
teresls of the time hOnOred institution
and paid fitting tribute tothe same.
The speaker recalled galaxy Of illus
trious men who had been sent forth from
the institution-men who had become
the foremost in the nations history
aud whose names had become immortal.
His references to Jefferson we're apt and
suggestive, and he depicted in a glowing
manner the great Virginian in the per-
Torrance of his duties to his State and
country. The Governor among other
things said .-.
ave need to feel once more that in
telleclnal wealth is greater than material
wealth. The time should come again
when the hero of the college should not
be the captain OF the football team, but
the student whose splendid intellectual
attainments point to life of usefulness
and greatness The time must come
again when womanhoOd will prefer com
partnership with brave hearts aud noble
souls bent ON lofty purposes rather than
with those whose sole attraction consists
in their ability to furnish the gaudy tin
sci aud decoration of wealth. Patriotic
public interest and sentiment indeed
need awakening when the great daily
newspapers of this country, in compliance
with the tastes of their readers, devote
two pages TO races, prize fights and base-
ball and scarcely column to the pre-
ceedings of our rational Congress. "
The speaker referred rapidly to present
conditions in this country, the reign Of
plutocracy. the worship OF wealth and
gaudiness of national surroundings, con-
trasling such a regime with the nobler or
der of things which at one time existed
and which every good aud sensible man
should desire to see reproduced. The
Governor in closing said:
"Young gentlemen of the South, the
clock of OPP ortunity strikes our hour of
work and responsibility. Prudence and
patriotism alike demand that we should
no longer con6ue our political activities
to local matters, but we should modestly
but firmly insist upon equal pariicipa-
ton in control and direction of national
affairs. Sire, animated by patriotism
that is national, stirred by the memories
of the large contributions that our fathers
have made to national greatness and
glory, thrilled by the present possibili-
ties of our action, which points to a
greater future let us OF the South resolve
TO answer all demands made upon us by
our common country and TO aid this
glorious republic to advance along the
pathway of justice, liberty and progress. &"

Fine residences covering mile along

FARMERS SHOULD PONDER

HIVE Food For Thought.

Hon Z y FOss. thc Boston manu-
facturer and tariff reformer and
former Republican congressman, said
something at the Chicago reciprocity
conference that every farmer that
votes the Republican ticket should pom
der over pfore he ca1ts Lis next vote.
The problem stated by Nj Foss was;
has there ever been 4 time il the
past fifty wears Il il the history OF
the United States when the American
farmer could afford 10 sacrifice his
foreign outlet Yet that is what his
pretended friends among the stand
patters OF the country are asking him
10 90. They have asked him, Tor their
sakeS L. submit 10 . high tariff Oh
everything he buys and he has done
this cheorfuliy Now made bold by
monopoly they ask him to withdraw
from the markets Of the world
The result OF our high protective tar
IL wall has been that Germany and
Other countries Of Europe have also
erected tariff wall. much higher than
our own. Tor the evident purpose ~
preventing hushel Of American
wheat or corn or n barrel OF pork or
beef from entering those countries.
This new prohibitive tariff becomes
operative March / next and viii soon
have a disastrous effect on our exports
70 those countries That result will,
perhaps. not much affect the price Of
our agricultural products for the crop
Of this season but is certain 70 reduce
the price IL the future. The high price
Of trust products here will pe still
higher SO the farmer will be the sui
ferer both ways This is the result
Of the Republican policy of protection.
