by the delegates IRON New York and
Massachusetts IN reduce this to three
clerical and three lay delegates from each
diocese.
New York tried TO have the deputies
appointed according 10 the number OF
clergy and laity in the diocese, bat this

reduction Of representatives, and after
speeches We're made the resolution was

There is little to choose between
Mr.. Bryan's plan of government
ownership of railroads, which he
seems happily now to have aban-
doned for the time being, at least.
and Mr.. Roosevelt : recent proposals
In reference to national government
control of railroads. The one would
create such condition of paternal-
ism as the founders of this govern
ment never dreamed OF and intrench
forever in power the party which
happens to hold the reins of govern
ment at the time. and the other
would be the entering wedge by
means of which the reserved rights of
the States would ultimately be abol-
ished altogether. The President pro-
poses in effect that the constitution
OF the United States be so amended
by construction that the Federal
government shall exercise complete
control, to theexclusion OF the States,
of all interstate railroads The nat
ural corollary of the Presidents
proposition is that the control Of
railroads now exercised by the States
shall cease and the national govern
ment shall assume entire control of
all interstate lines. How will the con-
sentative citizens of this country
view such a proposition? When Mr.
Bryan, who was regarded a. the log
zeal and only candidate for the Dem
ocratic nomination for president in
1908, made his famous declaration
Tor government ownership upon his
return home after his tour of tfe
world, the storm of protest viii d
went up from his party caused iim
to recede from his position fer the
present at least, and even nos it has
probably cost him the nomination.
Can Mr.. Roosevelt, who IN our iudg-
ment, has made equallJ as radical a
proposal, figure any 'onger as a pos
si5le nominee Of the l.epublican party
or dictate who sail succeed him.
We would think rot, but Mr.. Roose
welt seems to be able to do a great
many things which no one else would
attempt, and TO do them apparent,
without injury to himself or hi
party.

The Virginia State Fair opened
at Richmond October :, and there is
reason to believe that it will be a
splendid success 1t was in many re-
spects successful last year, although
that was the first meeting, and the
movement to hold an annual State
fair was begun so late that state
of unpreparedness was apparent. In
spite of this fact the exhibit of cattle
and hogs was probably the finest
ever seen in this State. With the
handicap which confronted the man
agement last year eliminated, the
fair this year ought to be the great
est ever held in the South, and it no
doubt will be. Everything has been
arranged on an elaborate scale, and
there is no doubt that every intelli-
gent farmer who attends will be ben
Gifted. The farmers should attend,
for they as well as other classes are
entitled to some rest, recreation and
pleasure.

CLOSING EXERCISES.

The commencement exercises OF
Sugar Tree school, under. the man
agement of Miss Il. j.. Hawkins,
July and 6, were a perfect sue
cess from start to finish. The de-
livery of recitations and the splen-
did rendition of the drama, "Ien
Nights in Bar Room" went to
show that there had been no time
lost on the part of either teacher
or pupils in the preparation of
their work.
Large crowds being present each
nightwas certainly Specification
Of their appreciation of the work
accomplished. The program con-
cluded five months school, one of
the most successful in the history
of the Sugar Tree Normal College.
Miss Hawkins great characteristic
is the true combination or mlnG
and heart, the elements that com
bine the ideal American woman,
the highest type American citizen
ship. She would do honor to any
position, in any schooli any State
in the union, and the people of Su-
gar Tree congratulate themselves
on securing her services for even
five months. Everyone would be
happy to have her return to our
little town.
We take pleasure in giving in
full her farewell address as fol-
lows: 81 thank you; I love you;
God bless you; goodnight"

A WORD To PARENTS.


Editor THE CHRONICLE:
There are some good people who
thoughtlessly permit their chill
dren-their boys, especially-to
roam our streets at their own sweet
will. Now, dear parents, don't you,
know there are very bad boys iT
every town, and that children are
impressive and initiative as mon
keys, aud that they will easily take
pattern after the company they
keep? Your children are roaming
the streets out of sight>and in the
worst company, who are leading
your dear ones in pathways that
will finally put them behind pris-
on bars.
I have just been informed that
two little boys built a fire under a
neighbor's house, and by a mere
accident it. was discovered in time
to save the building from being
destroyed. Other instances OF at
tempts to destroy property have
occurred right here in our midst.
Now, parents, do you want your
dear boys to keep company with
theseyoung would-be incendiaries
and with other boys who use the
worst of language? Ofcourse you
do not if you love your boys, and
the best plan to pursue is to keep
them at home and out of harms s
way. A FATHER.

Benton County during July.
The dates are not yet set, but the
first speech will be made at Cox

These speeches are not made
with view Of personal gain to the
speaker, but from a pure and un-
selfish motive to assist the farmers
in their efforts to better their own
condition.
