Ehod and Martin Ezunked
o4faid to Discuss State Issues with Crawford
andHalL.

/ member of the machine, sold out
Crawford two years ago, is credited
with Strengthening the beef trust, and
many other great things, but was
afraid to meet the champion OF the
people in joint debate. Thus the
towards are driven to the wall, thus
| the men who stand for rotten politics
and robbery Of the people by unjust
taxation are forced to acknowledge
that they dare not discuss these
questions before the people. 1t is in
deed a sad spectacle. A cause that a
man like Martin can't defend at any
moment or anywhere is indeed rotten
to the core.
Mr.. Crawford, rather than disap-
point Mr.. Martin, left his home with
| Mrs. CrawfOrd's mother so sick that
she died while Mr.. Crawford was
absent. Thus did this great COM
moner leave a home of sadness to
meet the champion orator OF the
machine, but the machine champion
declined under the plea that he was
not prepared. Prepared for what?
Every issue outlined in the telegram
Is familiar to every crossroads post
master in the state, and yet the
ablest orator the machine has was
not prepared. He never will be. He
dare not defend the infamy of the
machine and will go to the
United States Senate on the ma
chine platform of 'tax robbery and
the people be ID"
The Crawford challenge will be
open until Crawford is elected gov
ernor and Hall goes to congress, and
even then if Eben and Sam want a
dressing down.
Cowardice thy name is machine.

to, but when Mr.. Martin reached

to meet Mr.. Crawford, saying he was
not prepared to discuss the issues.

Alex Johnson, the Minnesota hench-
man Of the Northwestern railroad, Is
touring this state In his private car,
telling tile machine republicans TO
yet out and stop the Crawford torna-
do. Johnsonis the man who forced
Elrod upon the machine and made
Kit 80 back on his pledge to Berg OF
sphinx county, after Berg had spent q
thousand dollars Of his w money to
carry Sphinx for the machine. The
impotence and brass Of this corpora

Starving Millions Tin Japan

Japan emerged from war with
a frst-class power with victory
browning her arms, but that ma
ton has a still more serious PROPOSE
ton to face notwithstanding that
the dove of peace is oeoing at her
door. The black horse has taken
the place of the red steed. That
the famine in that country which
has been thought to be confined to
certain localities and not very seri'
Gus, has how assumed nest alarm
ing proportions is shown by private
advices received by the New York
State Red Cross from its agents in
Japan. 1t Is stated that at most
conservative estimate there are
now in japan between 800, 900 and
100000 starving persons. The
spread of the famine is due TO the
failure of the rise crope, formerly
thought to be limited to certain
classes in the northern provinces,
but which failure has now been
found to be general in those parts
of Japan.
In addition, the pres snt winter
has been one CT the severest ever
experienced in,Japan. The heavy
falls of snow ard the frequent
storms have materially set back
and, in some instances, stopped
altogether the laying out of rice
fields, instituted by the govern
ment as means of relief. No Few
harvest will be available until next
October Allowing only 10 cents
day per person, the Red Cross has
estimated that it will require at
least $40, 100000 to save the coun-
try people of Japan from death
by starvation.

MR.. FLOOD,s SPEECH

Che Fredericksburg Daily Star
makes the following reference to
Congressman H. D. Floods speech
in the House On last Monday: s'@
"In the course of the de-
bate on the consular service bill in
the House of Representatives on
Monday Congressman Flood, of
Virginia, called attention to the
fact that the States of Georgia
and Alabama hsYeaynss aoosingle
citizen in the consular service,
while the State of~Virginia has
only one. This enc, Mr.. Flood
stated, had never been located so
far as he was aware. The Virgin
ia Congressman finally referred to
the South's large commercial in
terests and demanded that she be
given some representation in this
service. If proper men for these
places can't be found by the Presi-
dent ia the ranks of the Repuh-
lican party, then Democrats
should be chosen, said Mr.. Flood.
We quite agree with him. The
South, comprieing large and i'm
portsnt section of this country, is
entitled, politics aside, to Fave
Der citizens in this government
service. and the President must
have found the Republican party
South at a low ebb, else it is nat.
ural to suppose that he would not
have entirely ignored three South.
ern States in his selection of con-
suls.

NEW VARIETY or WHEAT

Commissioner Koiner of the De-
par:ment of Agriculture of Vir-
GINA, gives an account in HE an
nual report of the remarkable dis
covery of a new kind of wheat,
hitherto unknown in Virginia. The
wheat was discovered by a Mr..
Stoner of Botetourt county, who
found a sample in his garden. On
close inspection it was ascertained
that 142 stalks came from one seed,
with heads on every stalk regular
ly flied. Sixty-seven of the heads
ripened with perfect grains, while
the rest failed to mature. The
wheat is of the bearded variety,
and the straw grows from four
and oue-half to five feet in height.
Mr.. Steiner has cultivated the
wheat with remarkable success.
In October, 1904, he sowed 2,SSS
grains of the 2, 500 taken from the
original stalk, and only 1,S42 came
up, and some of these not until
the first week in December. No
fertilizer was used on the gram.
The result of this sowing was at
the rate of 100 bushels to the acre,
Notwithstanding the conditions
were unfavorabls for good yield.
The second sowing last fall was
made under better conditions, and
from present indications the next
harvest will not only furnish fair
test, but will afford an opportunity
of deciding whether or not tkis
wheat is actually superior to other
kinds.
just how the original seed came
into Mr.. Stcner's garden is a mys-
terry. The most probable solution
is that it was deposited there by
some migratory bird. ~ -

.of-4sraud. -.

The IS. az y. caught IN ths ACT
4of-4srand. ..
The Stauuton Spectator Of last
week has the following to say of
the B. d D. management of the
Valley railroad:
The Maryland legislature has
been investigating the conduct of
the B. & 0. Ry. with reference t.
the Washington branch, They
have reported facts which are in
themselves frauds of criminal char
acter, because the stock of that
branch was depressed purposely
by the B. q o. in order that 1t
might buy 1T. Other crooked work
is also reported by the investigat
ing committee.
In this connection it is called co
mind that the conduct of the B. Dc
o. with reference to the Valley
branch has been remarkable. 1t
would be a good thing to investl-
gate that management. The stock
has been bought up. 1t has been
bought by the B. q o. also. If the
conditions found to exist in the
management Of TIE Washington
branch have taken place it may be
conjectured that the same condl-
tions exist with reference to the
Valley branch. 1t has been the belief
of most every body that that branch
has been stolen by the B. q O.
We know that the stock owned
by Staunton was bought not long
since for 10 cents in the dollar.
Ifsuch conditions exist as have
been found to exist with the Wash
ington branch, the B. & 0. ought
to be sued on account of the fraud
and the sale annulled. The deal
has always shocked our conscience,
and we never have been able to
think of it in calmness

this issue with the advertisement
OF the receipts and expenditures on

of this statement will acquaint the
taxpayers of Rockbridge how the

will be seen that the expenses of a

further observed that the Board of

judiciously limited the expenses
