Dear Sir, Enclosed herewith find
pOSIOFFlCE MONEY ORDER for
$40, i'm payment Of enclosed bill Of $40
for Buik's History Of Virginia.
Very respectfully,
J. p. KENNEDY,
X Librarian.
This remarkable transaction was
brought out by the Byrd Book lnvesti-
eating Committee, while examining
Mr.. Kennedy Mr.. Kennedy did not de
nv the transaction. On the other hand
he said he had done such things several
times. lie said he saw no improperly
900 thi, transaction Of using his official
position to traffic for private gain. We
ask the reader to note especially the
mention of the state vouchers In his
letter of January 10, 1906, aud the
postollce money order mentioned in
his letter of March ., 1906. A book IS
is ordered for the Library, il is at
once sold ID another party; and the
profit is put into the pocket Of the Ii
haran.
Bat wherein is the Evening Journal
uneasy? IL says that certain persis-
tent rumor, i'm Richmond are to the
effect that all the employees Of the
/ Library Board except Mr. Kennedy
viii be summarily removed. Says
the Evening Journal:
When called to the witness stand
Yesterday and put on oath, bOti Mr..
/ Evan, and Mrs. Edmund c. Minor di-
recuv contradicted Mr.. Kennedy's
evidence relative to an order he had
given directing that no books should
be purchased for the library from the
J Bell Book and Stationery Company,
butit IS not likely that either Mr..
! Evans or Mrs. Minor will on that &C
count be held guilty of disloyalty,
conspiracy, and perjury, and removed
from Office; nor will Mr.. Berkeley, nor
/ Mr.. Terrence, nor DR.. EchenrOde, for
similar evidence given by them.
A rumor of this sort, if it were a lit
lie less obviously absurd, would be an
a1ront TO the Library Board.
All of which goes to show that the
Evening Journal fears that these en-
ployees VIII be treated in this despi-
cable manner.
Now, if this wicked thing happens,
then we trust the Governor will sum
marily remove those members Of the
. Library Board who stand for the I'M
/ putty, provided he has the power.
Certainly the next Legislature will
take care of the situation, if necessary.
Me,srs. Meredith and Patterson are
responsible for that imported Librarian
and are about the only Virginians who
would retain him in position &c

4 Jealous advocate Of modern-day
Christian Sciencelsays: "it is science
of right thinking and right acting, a
science Of happiness and divine lose, a
science of life and truth, that will con-
tinue TO bless, that can not help bles-
sing all mankind
Grant il. and what a Vantage has
it then over cold time religion ~
Why call il science at all?
Christian is the old name and the
better name. The Bible urges right
thinking, "come and let US reason to-
gether, and acting, keep yourselves
unspotted from the world, commends
happiness, purity, the crown on love,
teaches the way. the truth and the
life, and press its invitations upon
"all mankind Why the new name
for the old friend? Christian is God
given science, Is woman's addition.
Did mortal ever add to the brightness
OF a star?

Political Ball is Set in Mot

LEADERS In CONFERENCE
Municipal Leaguers Have OF

the Township Mass Convention

with local political leaders issued u
call for a special election to be held
this fall to i'll the vacancy. IL Is
probable that ,he election board VIII
decide to hold the election at the
same time as the municipal elec-
tions.
II has been rumored for some time
that the central committee of the Re
publican. party would name the
party's candidate for the office hut
this is indignantly denied by the
members of the committee. they
state that they are not in favor OF
causing a big commotion in county
Republican circles and that none of
the candidates for the office would
accept such a nomination, If 1t were
rendered.
1t is very probable that the commit
tee will decide to hold a convention
during the frs' part of September and
choose the partys candidate.
II the convention Is held, it Is quite
likely that an effort will be made TO
endorse the candidacy of Taft for the
presidency by the element that favors
the corpulent secretary. 1t is also
possible that The proposed endorse
ment will be advertised and the Re-
publicans told to choose delegates who
will give the exact standing of the
Republicans of the county on the
Taft proposition.
II is certain that the Harding wing
Iwill endeavor 60 prevent such an ac-
ton being takou. II there is a pos
sible chance they will endeavor to se-
cure an endorsement for Foraker
but in any event they will try to block
"A Taft endorsement.
With the endorsement possibility the
convention promises to be very
lively one despite the fact that Il
will have but one nomination to
make.
This afternoon at the oftice of the
township clerk, the Republicans are
holding a mass convention to NOM
mate township justices or the peace
and other officars. The municipal
league element in the party is work
ling with might and main to defeat

IThompson because of his stand op
the Sunday baseball proposition The
league has a complete ticket which
1t is trying to rut through. The con.
test Will probably be close one as
the league men have been working
hard to bring cut it's supporters bul
there is little likelihood of any OF
is candidates teing nominated.
The members of the league will put
an independent ticket in the field In

II Didn't Work.

Three couple, husbands and wives
OF the highest repute, dined at a New
York city hotel few evenings since,
and the host and his wife directed
that the coffee be sent to their rooms.
This was done, and the waiter, calling
later for the cups, saucers and spoons,
found that three of the spoons were
missing. He reported the matter to
the manager, who quickly made a de.
mand for the return of the three
spoons. The host and hostess were
greatly embarrassed, and you may i'm.
aglne the feelings of their guests, but
the manager was obdurate. A little
search disclosed the missing spoons
beneath the table. The host and host.
ess on the following day protested in
vigorous terms TO the owners OF the
hotel, and got this reply:
Sorry, indeed, very sorry you were
embarrassed, but we stand by our
manager. We don't dispute your word,
but we would rather have you leave
the hotel than crticise him. He knows
that every year we are compelled to
mark on in profit and loss fully S25..

most every known article under the
sun stolen by guests from this hotel. >"

FRIENDS SAY TAFT SHOULD
QUIT AS CABINET MEMBER

Taft is beng urged by some Of his
friends 10 retire from the cabinet
next winter, as they believe by so
doing he will relieve himself of the
charge that he is tlk Roosevelt leg
atee and that such a course would
enhance his chances Of securing the
presidential nomination.
Secretary Taft does not agree
with the friends who are urging
him to resign, and has not given the
slightest iutimation that he intends
TO do so. Those who believe in the
retirement idea and who at con-
ference last winter of his political
advisers urged him TO retire, are
now renewing their advice and de-
clare il would be a happy political
stroke for Taft TO get ont of the
