The Rule Of Rotation.

The rule. or practice, of rotation
in Office, as applied to the selection
of men for the State Senate and
House of Delegates, has always
appealed to us as ain eminently fair
idea, and we have been much inter
ested in reading the arguments
advanced pro and con to such an
idea in the district composed of the
counties of Shenandoah. Frederick
and the City of Winchester.
In our own district. composed of
Clarke, Warren and Page, the
rotation has not been broken for a
long time, if at all.
Hon. Thomas ID. Gold. of Clarke.
served as Senator from this dis
trlct; he was succeeded by Hon.
NJ. j. Fulton, OF Warren; and now
Clarke and Warren present no
claim TO the office. but step aside
for the election of good man from
Page county.
In the legislative district com
posed OF Clarke and Warren. the
same kind OF rotation has been
followcd. Hon. Blackburn Smith.
OF Clarke, was succeeded by Hon.
NJ. Nj. johnson, of Warren. and
now, as far as we can learn, War
rcn, will stand aside for Clarke to
take her turn again.
In the district composed of Lou
donn and Fauquier. the same ruic
of rotation has been followed.
The rule of rotation appears to
us to be the faircst and most eouit-
able way in which these matters
car bc settled, and, unless such a
rule is followed. there will be con-
tinnal useless squabbling and bick-
ering among the Democrats. with
the result thTt no good will accure
To them, but plenty of ammunition
will be piled up for the Repub-
licanS.

Electric Lights Coming Soon

Messrs. p. t. Kamerer and +.
n. Cockey, expert electrical in
spectOrs from the Westinghouse
Electrical Company. have lust
completed thorough inspection of
the plant and equipment of the
Winchester and Washington Elec-
trio Railway Company, from whose
plant at Millville-on- the Shenan-
doah Berryville is soon to be light
ed Light and power will. it is
expected, be turned into the wires
in ten days.
The COURIER building was the
first structure to be wired for
electric lights, and it is expected
that our building, the Battletown
Inn, the Episcopal Church, and
probably one or two others will be
lighted within the next couple of
weeks.
It Is also believed that the Town
Council will now call for bids for
lighting the streets of Berryville
for term of years, as the present
contract expires in October.
The call for bids should be made
at once, as the gas company (if it
IS the successful bidder would
have to increase the capacity of Its
plant for an al-night-every-night
service. If the contract is award
ed to the electric company it will
have to install the equipment in
its entirety.
No matter whether the gas COM
pany or the electric light company
Is the successful bidder, the tax
payers of this Corporation will in
sist upon an all-night-every-night
service.

Weird Ball-PIayins.

Two games with the Front ROYAL
team, which were scheduled on
twelve hours notice, failed To at
tract very large crowed To- Moore
Field last Friday afternoon, and
those who failed to come did not
miss great deal.
Everybody ON the local team
took a hand i'm the error-making,
while the visitors played a gilt
edged game at every point.
Frank Galloway, who caught
Burchell for the first time, showed
that he has the courage to handle
anything, and, with little practice.
he will be big addition to the
team for the summer. Walters
had finger badly split in the first
inning, and was forced to retire.
Some good plays were made by
the home team, but the misplays
had big majority.
Burchell, Hughes and viii
Elsea, in turn, took a hand at pitch
ing. but the general decentralization
had control of the tielders, as well
as the pitchers, and it didn't make
any noticeable difference in the run
scoring of the visitors.
That was the first game of the
local team, and while it was a RAJ. k
failure, there is no doubt tha; We
will have q good team here as soon
as the boys get a little practice aud
get accustomed to their positions.
as several of the men have never
been played in the positions before.

Supervisors in Lengthy Session.

The Board of Supervisors held
a long session Monday. but very
few matters were acted upon.
MIR. Barnett reported that new
schedule of toll rates over the
Charles Town Turnpike had been
formulated.
The contract with j. w. Carlisle.
as superintendent ofthe Poor Farm.
was approved.
The buildings on the Farm were
stated to be in generally poor con-
dltion, and Mr.. Carlisle was order
ed to do the necessary work of
cleaning and repairing same.
Mr.. Carlisle was also instructed
to erect a fence around the ceme-
terry, garden, yard, etc.
Mr.. Gold was appointed a com
mittee to visit the Farm and report
upon its condition, etc.
The application of the United
States Weather Bureau that the
gates on the Weather Bureau
Bluemont road be abolished was
taken up, and it was found that
the gates had only been maintained
upon one piece of land-that own
Ell by Mr.. y. Moore, Jr., Of Ber-
ryvllle. Mr.. Moore, who was
present, agreed to accept a price
of 90 cents per rod for the fence
necessary to be constructed. and
the Board ordered the gates taken
off and the fence constructed by
Mr.. Moore.
An order was issued citing the
United Telephone Company to
appear before the Board of Super
visors on June 5 and explain why
they had failed 70 comply with
the order of the Board of Nav %.
1906, approving a report of j. ;.
Carver, Committee, in regard TO
the distance above ground at which
the wires of the company must be
placed.
During the discussion of the
Poor Farm, it developed that there
Is only one inmate at present. al
though there are a large number OF
paupers who are receiving county
aid. The matter of requiring those
who receive county aid to 90 to the
1 Poor Farm has been discussed here
tofore, and it is likely that suci
action will be taken at no far dis
tant day.

Teachers Salaries.

The question of Increasing teach
ers' salaries i very live one in
other states, as we'll as in our own.
These are the people who conSti-
tute. as class. the most important
body of public servants in the
state. They have in very large
measure the training of the minds
and moulding of the characters of
the state until they are ready to
take their positions in the busy
activities of life. 1t is the most
important period in the life of the
child, and those charged with thi
great responsibility deserve the
highest consideration and liberal
compensation. \ cheap teacher is
by no means the best. ANY voca-
ton should be remunerative in
proportion to the Importance of
the work required, and the etiici-
ency with which it is performed.
1t Is time to quit the policy of
employing teachers because they
can be had at n cheap rate. Roam

Religion and Sundy Baseball.

Word was passed around last
Saturday to the effect that those
guilty of playing baseball on Sun
day would be fined by Mayor
Jones.
On each OF several Sundays past
a game has been held, the players
have been very orderly, and there
has been no drinking or fighting.
The thought that fines would be
assessed against the players caused
them to 90 out about four miles in
the country, where they were free
from interference.
Last year the boys were forced
to 90 out in the conntry, and their
games were played at what is
known as the Big Woods" 4
great deal OF disorder, drunkenness
and fighting resulted.
\ similar result will come from
the action of the town authorities
this year, we think.
Isn't it better to have the sun
day baseball games played close
to town, where the Town Sergeant
can see that good order is kept and
no drunkenness permitted. than TO
drive the boys out into the country.
where they can do just about as
they please, play ball for prizes Of
crates of beer, get drunk, and
otherwise misbehavel
The Baltimore Sun very aptly
says of movement in that city:
Before this movement goes
farther it Is in order to suggest TO
the earnest and sincere men who
are supporting it that there are
two sides to the question. Before
the drugstores stop the sales of
cigars ON Sunday, before the soda
water fountains are closed on that
day, it Is pertinent to inquire
whether pure religion and undeliled
depends even in the slightest de-
gree upon the Introduction of the
purchase of cigar on Sunday or
the prohibition of the sale of 4
harmless drink. Is it necessary,
IN order To preserve Christian in
stitntions, TO make religion force
that will be regarded by many
persons in church and most people
outside of its influences, as some
thing To be dreaded. Religion
through all the ages has been con
fronted with the necessity of adopt
ing itself, with surrender of vita
principles, to changing conditions
I OF religion it may be said. as the
founder of Christianity said of the
Sabbath, that it was made for mar
not man for religion. -

Scarlet il the stag hunters color, pink
for fox hunters and green for barriers. Fox
hunting has fourished in Pennsylvania and
Virginia for a hundred years, but il is
doubtful If Washington n the colonists
who rode to hounds were punctilious as to
attire. In the hunt clubs Of Long Island and
the East all the details nave been by the
book. Coats fit a. well a. for a church
parade on Fifth avenue, silk hats are rein
forced to protect the head in case of a
fall, ties must be Of f1eckless white, brooches
cut tight 81 the knees and full in the thighs,
while the boots are soft in the leg, with
stiff tops. Short top coats for dust or to
keep OF rain may be worn II they do not
bother the rider. Everything IL TO be
made by n specialist. One man makes
the coat, another the breaches and 30 on,
so that each suit will cost about $50. Men
who hunt much accumulate quite an assort-
ment Of hunting toys.
These golfers are the ~sloppiest in attire
of any sportsmen ! ever saw" remarked
a Meadow Brook hunting man at a Long
Island golf tournament held in a down.
pour Of rain. Hunting men in a rain are
as spick and span as In fine weather.
He forgot that il is the horse that does
the splashing through the wet. while the
golfers have to wade through the puddles
and rivulets on their own account. Thick
boots and a raincoat with loose sleeves.
Of the style once called raglans. are the
only protection golfers take against rain.
Many do not even YEA an extra coat, as
IL hinders their swing. Rather than TO
lose a stroke they prefer to slosh along in
the wet. The majority do mot wear gloves.
an the club heads are apt to slip in them
when wet. Tops Of rubber cloth are
slipped over the bags Of clubs and every
effort made to keep the handles dry. Heavy
towels are carried by the players and caddies
on which the hands are dried before taking
a grip. When not in Use the players dangle
the towels from the back Of their belts,
so that eac h carries a wet and Tapping
tail. Those who have umbrellas hand
them TO the caddie as they play a shot.
As a consequence the golfers are a wet
lot after an eighteen hole round. and IL
the weather Is warm they usually lunch in
the ir wet clothes If a second round must
be played. Certainly. to such a stickler
for prec ision as the Meadow Brook menu
Der. the troop Of wet golfers who thronged
this Long Island clubhouse and did not
