The B. l. Q. las been order by the
Corporation Commission to run its
trains into Strssbnrg. 1t seems that
this road was chartered as the Win
chester 81 Str ashnrg Railway. When
it made its connection with the Ma
nassas Gap Ry. 1T procured an act
amending It's charter so as to AVOID
the necessity of building into Stras-
burg, hat the act WAS conditional and
not intended to relieve the B. & o..
from running trains into Strasburg,
because ills trains were always run into
SLrasbnrg until the B. g. q. defaulted
in its rents to the Southern and turned
! that road back on the company.
Since then the b u o has violated it's
charter by utterly failing to comply
with the requirement to operate trains
| into that town. If the Southern will
give 1t the right to go in over Its track
it will he easy, but if the Il. 20 should
find it necessary to build then q dill
erent problem would present itself
The B & O. can do as it has otter
done, it Can tel the commission to &C
to thpnder, just as it has go often tolf
the courts and the legislature to d.
before.

The Secretary of the Virginia Bar
Association recently announced that
all the railroads in Virginia except the
Norfolk & Western had offered to car
nv members of the association to the
Hot Springs at one fare plus 70 cents
for the round trip. We never knew
anybody who was in the habit OF rid
ing on the N. & w. for pleasure. but
with it's poor accommodatiOna and
chances of being run over by freight
trains any moment to be compelled to
pay more than on roads that furnish
cars that have seen the shops within
the memory of man, is to say the least
q little bewildering if not calling.

CUL. BUTTON WINS.

The Hon. Joseph Button has won in
his efforts to serve the people as Insur
ance Commissioner. 1t will be recalled
especially by those who have believed
that Virginia could not long exist
without an Insurance Commissioner,
that the Legislature created this Office
last winter among the many other wise
things it did, with the tacit under.
standing that Col. Joe should draw
the attendent salary, When he had
Thoroughly familiarlzed himself" with
the approaching burdens of the office
by study in New York and trip
abroad under the chaparonage and
patronage of Mr.. Thomas F. Ryan of
New York, owner and operator of one
of the largest insurance companies in
the United States, he returned to
Richmond and presented himself,
Bible In hand, to take the oath of office.
Just at this Juncture the Corporation
Commission asserted itself and refused
to allow the newly appointed commits
sioner to be sworn in. 1t has been told
heretofore in these columns how the
cold perspiratlOn arose upon the fervid
brow of Col. Button, how a chill crept
up the spinal column of many of those
who helped prize open the door to the
public crib in Col. Buttons interest,
to say nothing of the peoples interest.
But the Corporation Commission was
obdurate, and thus this quOndam Off
Ger was separated for time from his
official duties, and what was still
worse from bis official salary.
Of course legal proceedings were in
stituted, and a SPECIAL SESSION of
the Supreme Court of the State was
called-a most unusual thing-for the
purpose of deciding as to the right of
Col. Button to hold this office, or
rather to go deeper and decide as to the
right under the constitution of the
Legislature to create it. The Supreme
Court has decided in favor of Col.
Button. The Legislature was right,
col. Button was right, everybody

A DUAL electorate.

1t has been decided by our courts,
and reaffirmed by Judge Letcher, that
one class of people In Virginia can con-
trOl local option elect ions, and another
class elect county, municipal and State
officers. This dual electorate is COM
plicated, to say the least OF it, and
renders elections uncertain and doubt
full. AS We understand it the reglstra-
ton books cut no figure in local option
elections, and anybody can act as a judge.
About all that is required then is that
the person be present at the time of
voting. Possibly soon this condition
will be modified so as to allow petit
coats to fiutter at these elections as Is
done in bleeding, Prohibition Kansas.
If to vote at local option election a
voter need not be illegally qualified"
voter he had just as we'll be she as q
he, or an Indian, a Chinaman, or Jap
anese. We have no hesitency in saying
that the trainers of the constitution
never intended to create more than
one electorate in Virginia, and when
another is created by implication we
have arrived at dangerous point in
government.
