IT IS reported from TromsOe, Norway
that Mr.. Walter Wellman and his party,
of the Chicago Record-Herald polar ex-
petition, will probably return at the end
Of the present month, abandoning their
plans to reach the pole in an airship for
the present year. No start had been at
tempted up to August 26, and the
weather subsequent to that date pre-
cluded an ascent of the airship, norther-
" winds, fog and snow prevailing. Many
believe Mr.. WeIlman to be a "faker"

TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. 10. 1907.

CONGRESSMAN sLEMP, &C ,ording TO a
Washington dispatch, says that Virginia
"might' 60 republican il Roosevelt we're
reuominated for President. Mr.. Slemp
believes Taft will receive the support OF
the Virginia delegation. The Virginia
Congressman has never heretofore shown
himself TO be a political prophet, and 1t
would not be safe to risk too much
money ON his latest vision. 1t was sup
posed several years ago by Messrs.
sIemp, Summers & Co., that the demo-
cratic ranks could be broken in the Old
Dominion if Mr.. Park Agnew were set
aside as chairman OF the republican
committee and Mr.. Bascomb Slemp ap-
oointed in his stead. The result OF the
next election showed the baseless fabric
mon which the calculation had been
made. The democracy Of the Old Domin-
Ion proved TO be more solid than ever,
aud thu republicans were unable to
make any new proselytes. Mr.. Roose-
welt may have dsszled some portions
of the country, but that he has
made any capital in Virginia is doubt
full. A great majority of the people in
this State have failed to discern any
great elements of craftsmanship in the
executive that people in other States
profess to see. He may possess the de-
termination necessary to be President,
but this is about all of his capital, IS
his administration is as much a subject
of criticism as those of his political
predecessors. At any rate, bis name had
no effect on Virginia democracy in 1904
aud, from present indications, will have
less in 1908. United States Senator
Nathan B. Scott says that the people OF
this country are Roosevelt crazy but the
epidemic has not overspread Virginia,
although there may be sporadic cases.

JUSTICE MILLER in opening the Sep

fusing all applications for citizenship.
awe have admitted too many ignorant
foreigners to citizenship already" he
said. 81 do not propose to admit to the
franchise any person who does not know
enough about the constitution of the
country to cast an intelligent ballot. l
will not grant citizenship papers to any
immigrant who has not fixed intention
of staying in the country snd an intelli-
gent knowledge of and patriotic interest
In its form Of government An ignorant
electorate tends to be a corruptible cleo
tOrste; an uniutelligent use Of the ballot
is dangerous to the success of a demo-
cratic form of government. Justice
Miller is evidently the right man in the
right place, and the movement he has
insugurated should have been put in
operation many years ago.

BoB JONES, q brother and successor
of Sam Jones, has started out on an
eyangelistic tour. He appeared in De-
catur, Ala, Sunday, on which occasion
he said to his hearers "Tll wash my
hands of you. 1 have done my duty by
you. II you want to continue on in
your road to hell it amt my fault"
He then poured the contents of glass
of water over his hands after preaching
a sermon on the furies of hell and ask
ing for mourners. Harsh and intolerant
evangelists are believed TO aid but little
in augmenting the church militant, al
though most OF such may mean well.
Many self-styled heralds of the kingdom
Of heaven strangely imagine they can
iuteres! people in spiritual matters by
insolence and abuse. The great mass OF
struggling humanity need sympathy
from those who attempt to guide them
out of the broad way TO destruction and
into the narrow path leading to another
and better world. Too many self-styled
preachers fail to enter into the spirit of
the Great Teacher who pronounced a
blessing upon such as hunger and Thirst
for better life, and not upon those who
imagine they are perfect The weak and
heavy laden are always with us, and
they appreciate kindness and encourage
ment more than blood and thunder de-
nunciations which naturally repel such.
