directed the attention OF the grand jury
to reports reaching his ears that the
pure elections law was violated prior to
and during the late primary election in
Henrico. Flo has also charged the men,
bers to make a thorough investigation
and, II the evidence justifies, to bring

The law Is plain, and no man may

lated the guilty person or persons

The latter portion of the Presi-
dents address was more to the point,
and contained practical suggestions,
which should impress the nation. He
urged the Importance OF using the
great waterways of the United States
as a means OF transportation, and de-
cared that our navigable rivers were
national assets just as much as our
great sea coast harbors." It Is a ma
tural inference that he favors liberal
appropriations OF government to inns
prove these waterways, although he
declined to commit himself to details.

mously improved by the judicious ex-
penditure OF few millions of govern
ment money. After all, the navigable
streams are the best regulators of rail-
roads. Wherever they are in competi-
ton, there is little need OF government
rate making.
The Presidents remarks on the
moral and material value OF the farm
were also timely and impressive. "The
effort must be made said he, "tc
make farm life not only renunerative
but attractive, SO that the best young
men and girls will feel induced to stay
on the farm and not to go to the city
Nothing is more important to this
country than the perpetuation OF our
system of medium sized farms, WORKED
by their owners"
Quite true. The farm must be made
more profitable and more attractive
and the little farm well titled is the
solution of the, labor problem in the
country.

Mr.. Drewry's statement in Saturdays

ment OF Mr. George Il. Crater, the bust
ness manager of the Times. Mr..
Crater said the Times never got $4,000.
This paper has always tried to be fair
and conservative, and has regretted
always when 1t was compelled to say
anything harsh or unklnd about any
ones 1t cannot be truthfully said that
this paper was ever "subsidized' by
any one, or that it has ever failed to
pursue other than an honest. fearless
course on all public questions. The
chief motive, no doubt, which prompted
Colonel Andrews to give large adj
vertising patronage to the Times was
his animosity:sto the morning paper

the Southern railway had received

always been free to- express his indi-
vidual view Sand he has criticized
the Southern Railway Company and
other railroads Whenever he felt that
they deserved criticism. THE railroad
made mistake. in our Judgment, In
fcontestlng the railway rate bill, and
we said SO and criticized them for 1t,
but we clothed our criticism in decent
md Respectfully language. This paper
was in favor Of a two and a half cent
rate, but after the adoption OF the two

Legislature, we thought that the rail.

Ohio Patronage For Taft.
4. With the report ut Washington that
the appointment of an internal revenue
collector at Toledo was to be placed
at the disposal of Taft and Burton,
this was regarded as due notice that
Senators Foraker and Dick might eX-
pect no further recognition from the
administration. Secretary Taft upon
his return from the West Indies re-
fused to have anything to say about
this or any other political subject.
Administration Aids Hughes.
The authoritative announcement has
the president desires to use all his in
fiuence to strengthen the administra-
ton of Governor Hughes in New York,
especially in forcing through reform
legislation at Albany. Following 4
call on the president, Henry w. Taft,
brother of tire secretary of war, made
this fact clear, and the inference
drawn was that out of the party har-
mony in New York delegation for
Taft would be chosen. Some of the
friends of Hughes now say, however,
that the governor is making no politi-
cal alliances with any one which would
take him out of the running for the
presidential nomination.
Oklahoma Constitution Signed.
President Murray Of the Oklahoma
constitutional convention signed the

Labor unions throughout the country
which have joined in the MoyerHay-
wood defense movement have prompt
ly replied to President Roosevelt's let
ter OF justification addressed to the
Cook county conference: In many
places the unions have held indignG-
ton meetings and issued statements
expressing their displeasure A plan
is on foot in the west to appoint Il day
for suspension Of work in various
cities so as to make n concerted dem
onstration and protest against the
words of the president; also to gather
funds for stronger defense of the
accused miners. The New York con
ference in their statement say that the
president adds insult to an injury al
ready done" The committee appoint
ell to go to Washington decided that it
would be useless to make the trip.
