The Sign of the Times

The result Of the local option
election in Charlottesville is but
another evidence of the anti saloon
sentime nt in Virginia. 1t began
in the rural districts, and has now
spread to the cities. The campaign
has been conducted in an orderly
manner, without hysterical c!amor
or fanatacism, and many consers a.
tive men have been enlisted
The Virginia AntiSaloon
League does not take the initiative
in any community, but waits until
the local leaders have decided to
start crusade against the saloons
then lends it's aid.
There is no movement in Rich
mond, so far as we know, to start
a crusade here. But there are
mutterings. The same temperance
citizens who supported The Times
Dispatch in its demand that the all.
night saloon be abolished are in the
city to day, and it would take very
little to turn them into prohibit
tionists.
But for city as large as Rich
mond prohibition would be fail
IRE, and The Times Dispatch
would not support a straitont pro-
hibition movement. But there are
approximately 230 saloons in Rich
mond, or about one for every $50
inhabitants, including men, women
and children. Eech saloon pays a
city license Of 5000. Many of
these saloons are so situated as tc
be very Objectionable to the neigh
bors, and in some sections they SCI
iously impair the value of property
in their vicinity-as, for example,
around the Second Market and on
the north side of Broad Street.
The surest and simplest way to re-
duce the mum Der is to increase the
license tax. If that be done, and
the saloon evil thus be reduced to
the minimum. there will he no
prohibition movement in Rich
mond; if not, the crusade is liable
to begin at any time.-Times-Dis-

Prospects Bright For University
virginia Summer School.

The efforts Of President Alder
man to establish at the University
Of Virginia great Summer
School which shall become a per-
manent feature of the work Of the
University, are meeting with graf
flying success, judging from the
interest manifested throughout the
South, as indicated in the large
number of inquiries received by the
Director.
Students are rapidly enrolling
from all the southern states and as
far west as Indian Territory, and
the attendance for the first session
promise, to be much larger than
could reasonably have been hoped
for.
The University course is the
most complete eyer offered by a
Summer School in the South and
includes all the subjects taught in
the best High Schools and Acade-
mics. The faculty is composed Of
highly trained experts who are al.
80 practical teachers in their line,
and the opportunity is thus 'affor-
ded for the first time for southern
advanced teachers to pursue a
course in vacation.
In addition to these advanced
courses. the School for Elemen-
tary Teachers" meeting all the re-
qirements for a first. grade certifi-
cate, will again be conducted by
Supt. E G. GLASS;, and his usual
corps Of teachers. This depart
ment will continue only four
week, beginning June 10th, at the
same time as the University
School. b. the Training Glass
conducted by Mrs. X L .Moffett
will continue six weeks, from June
10Th to July 3lst. Mrs Moffett's
Training School is an up o-date
school given over to the review OF
elementary subjects.
Reduced rates have been offered
by all the leading railroads, andan
excellent opportunity will he affnr
ded those attending to see the
Jame stown Exposition.

Monterey, Va, Friday, June IA, 1907

That the Japanese of the Pacit.
ic Coast and the "Progressives,"
political party of Japan, have en-
tered into an alliance which has
the earmarks of an international
conspiracy, with the overthrow or
the Ministry in Japan and the an.
nulment of the clause in the immi-
grafton act excluding Japanese
coolie labor from continental
United States as the ultimate OBJ
iacts, is learned authoritatively. The
preliminary steps in this scheme,
it is said will be to induce the To-
kio Government to recall ViScount
Aoki. the japanese Ambassador to
the United States, and to demand
an apology and perhaps an lndem-
nifty from this Government for the
alleged acts Of violence against
japanese subjects residing IN San
Francisco.
With this end in view represen-
iaiives of the faction hostile to the
Saionji Ministry have been in
Washington to consult with the
japanese Ambassador and the
State Department officials regard
ing the Objectionable clause in
the immigration act, the Califor,
MIA school question and the recent
riots in San Francisco. The re-.
port which they have sent to To
kio, it is alleged, will form the ba-
sis of systematic campaign to
bring about anti-American demon
STATIONS in Japan and to force
Foreign Minister Ilayashi, if pos
sible, to demand indemnity and an
apology from the United States.

ALMOST A SOLID SORE.
Skin Disease from Birth-Fortune
Spent on Her Without Benefit
Cured Her with Cuticura.

81 have a cousin in Rockingham Co.
who once had a skin disease from her
birth until she was six years of age.
Her father had spent a fortune on
her to get her cured and none of the
treatments did her any good. Old
DR.. G. suggested that he try the
Cuticura Remedies which he did.
When he commenced to use it the
child was almost a solid scab. He
had used it about two months and
the child was well. l was there when
they commenced to use your Cuti-
cura Remedies. I stayed that week
and then returned home and stayed
two weeks and then went back and
stayed with them two weeks longer,
and when I went home l could hardly
believe she was the same child. Her
skin was as soft as a baby's with
out a scar on it. 1 have not seen her
in seventeen years, but I have heard
from her and the last time heard from
her she was we'll. Mrs. w. P. Ingle, Bur-

ANIMALS THAT SHED TEARS.
Travellers Observations Have Proved
That Weeping IL Common.


Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seer horses weep from thirst, a
mule has been seen to cry from tho
pain Of an injured foot and camels,
II is said, shed tears In streams, says
q writer in Harper's Weekly. A COW
sold by its mistress who had tended
young soko ape used to cry from e
ton II Livingston didn't nurse 1t In
his arms when it asked him to.
Wounded apes have died crying, and
apes have wept over their young slain
by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to
carry water Jugs broke n and fell
a~-crying, which proved sorrow. though
1t wouldn't mend the jug. Rats, dis
covering their young drowned, have
been moved to tears. A giraffe which
a huntsman's rife had injured began
to cry when approached. Sea lions
often weep over the loss of their
young. Gordon Cummings observed
tears trickling down the face of a dy-
ing elephant. And ever an orang-
outang when deprived of its mango
was so vexed that it took to weeping.
There is little doubt, therefore, that
animals do cry from grief or weep
from pain or annoyance.

MANY SOURCES OF SALT.
That from Natural Springs Is Gener
ally Most Nearly Pure.

The purity of salt depends upon the
source from which it is obtained and
the sanitary conditions under which
it is prepared for the market. The
supply of common salt, the most in
dispensable of all the seasoning sub
stances both as a relishing condiment
and a well-nigh universal food pre-
sentative, is e%xhaustless, yet even so
there is salt and salt, says the Pic
torial Review.
Formerly salt was obtained by evap-
Grating ocean water, a process that
left many impurities in the residuum,
to say nothing of it's exposure to all
kinds of dirt in it's shipment from sea-
ports. The Turks island or rock salt,
which is still largely used in pork
packing and in the manufacture of ice
creams, m to the United States
in holds of vessels continually sub
jected to dirt and foul odors. Upon
it's arrival it is again handled, then
packed in coarse burlap bags, permit
ting dust to sift into the salt. In this
condition it reaches the consumer.
Latterly, however, the product OF
salt springs has largely taken the lead
in this country not only for table salt
but for meat packing. The annual
production from this source in the
United States reaches more than 49,
600, 900 bushels, the state of New York
in the vicinity of Syracuse furnishing
a large proportion of this important
supply.

Vice President Fairbanks stopped

an incident which happened years

and the correspondent were chatting
pleasantly, when suddenly the latter

Ter of Maine. The vice president said:

know why you deserted me that day"
The newspaper a hesitated for a
moment, and then replied: To tell
you the truth, Mr.. Vice President, you
are a mighty dry source of news. You
may have a nose for news, but ]
doubt it; at any rate, you never give
up any. Now, when a newspaper man

OLD CAPT. cAck's QUESTION.
Somewhat Pointed, But It Denoted
Quick Intelligence.

Pierce Jay, the commissioner OF
