Some Interesting Facts In Connection With That

a Der cent. of the Senators.
Two-thirds of the Senators are law

senate. There are only three farmers in
the Senate, according to available data,
and they are Messrs Tillman and Lati-
mer. OF South Carolina, and Nelson, Of

ENDORSES OUR SUGGESTION

A writer in the News-Leader, dis
cussing the question of improve
ment in the "magisterial system of
this State, commends the suggestion
made by this paper that a bill be
passed placing in the hands of the
judges all over the States the power
of appointing magistrates. This
SEEMS to us the logical solution of the
problem, if we are to havecompetent
justices all over the State. As we
have heretofore remarked, we al
ready have many good ones, but
also many Indifferent ones. The
lme writer likewise suggests that
instead of three magistrates being
appointed in each district there be
only one, or if the district be I'M
usually large that two be selected.
In this way he thinks we could OBJ
tain great Improvement in the
system, since with only one magis-
trate in a district the remuneration
would be sufficient TO cause good
men to seek the Office, while with
three, as at present, the pay is so
small that only a limited number of
men can afford to give their time to
the duties required of such official
Both suggestions seem worthy OF
consideration.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 6, 1906
TO REGULATE INSURANCE

Recent advices Indicate that there
will be no real attempt to enact any
law looking. to the regulation ana
control of insurance companies at
this session of Congress. 1t will be re-
called that President Roosevelt IN
his recent message TO Congress
strongly recommended somenationai
law with the object OF regulating
insurance. and since that time the
matter has received considerable at
tention at the hands OF Congress.
The difficulty in the way OF such
legislation, however, according to
the view of the leading lawyers in
both branches of Congress, is that 1t
would be violation OF the COnstitu-
ton. There are many able lawyers
in Congress. however, who hold that
the decision ofChief Justice Marshall
defining, in effect. Interstate COM
merce as intercourse between the
States. is broad enough to admit OF
such legislation. Whichever may be
the right OF these conflicting views
the people who are interested IN IN
surance, which includes well-nlgh the
whole of the body polite, have the
consolation of knowing that II this
important subject is not a matter
for Federal legislation and control.
the States Individually have carte
blanche to legislate as they may see
fit with reference to the matter. both
as to companies located within their
borders and as to business of foreign
companies conducted within their ter
ritOry. In view OF the startling dis
closures brought out by the Arm
strong Committee in New York re-
Gently, there is, therefore, little
doubt that if it is shown that the
Congress cannot pass the necessary
legislation to check the abuses and
promote the uses OF insurance, the
States will individually see that the
work is done, and effectively done at
that.

THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION

The State of New York is always
to the front in advertising its re-
sources, and in connection with the
jamestown Exposition the Empire
State has shown the same spirit OF
liberality. New York was the first
OF the original thirteen States, out
side OF Virginia, to organize system
attic endeavOr TO make the Ter-cen-
tennial Exposition success. Hon.
Z. b. Dunn, as chiefcOmmissiOnerfOr
New York, has been actively at work
stirring up interest in theproiect and
his home paper, the Rochester Dem
ocrat and Chronicle, has given much
space to the Exposition and its al
fairs. Closing a most interesting
editorial on the subject, our cOntem-
porary expresses a sentiment with a
true American ring in the following
words:
1t is still habit to speak OF the
South as such, but in reality the dis
tinctiOn between the North and
South is merely geographical. In
aims and purposes they are one with
the East and the West. The "cOm-
ing. together OF the children" in the
summer OF 1907 will be an auspici-
Gus occasion to emphasize this fact;
and more States than the original
thirteen will follow the example OF
New York and accept the invitation
with promptness.
Down here in Virginia, such an ex-
preston as the above is truly APP
preciated, and wefeel that New York,
which many times has been the only
Northern State to understand the
South, has the interest OF Our pet
project at heart and that we canlook
for great aid from her press and peo-
pie. The Exposition will doubtless
be a splendid fraternal gathering OF
all the States.
