In REFERENCE 10 the IMPOSITION Of
fues upon the big corporations for VIC
lating the laws Of the State and coun
try. the Philadelphia Record makes tn
following sensible observations;
Fines amounting to twenty million
dollars would not be so very heavy q
burden to the Standard OIL. Small hoes
mean no more to il than ten dollar
fine mears to an automObilist who CAP
pay So, 900 for machine and would
cheerfully pay $50 for the fun of run
ming it on highway like a railway train.
The Standard Oil is worth anywhere
from five to seven or eight hundred mil
lion dollars, besides the vast fortunes
of the separate members Of the "Stand-
srd Oil crowd" Many railroads have
been punished for granting rebates, but
the rebsie is extorted from the railroad
company by the shipper The railway
shareholder is muleted twice-once when
a part of his profits is returned to The
shipper and sgain when the government
prostcutes his company for rebsting.
The real culprit is the shipper, and the
worst of the culprits is the Standard OF,
which EFFORTS rebates by threats OF pip'
lines.

WAS THE loss of The battleshlp MIL

an accident? The question came neal
breaking up the regular weekly meeting
of the Methodist preachers Of Norfolk
and its vicinity, and is still undecided.
Rev. DR.. w. c. Starr, pastor of the big
Cumberland Street Church, in his sermon
last Sunday night held that it was an
&C, of providence. Rev. j. II. Am'ss
attacked that view in the meeting. Ar
gument waxed warm-warm to the point,
it may be said, of considerable feeling.
Neither side would give in and the dis
putauts IRE as firm in their respective

born instinct in certain percentage OF

slaughter of the animals, has sent to
every Elks' lodge in the country stir

As a staunch supporter Of Judge Charles E.

recent primary. recognize the fact that the
people Of this district have chosen Mr.. G. &.
Carlin to represent them the standard
bearer Of the Democratic party in November
and no matter how feel about the matter

quite sure came out just as loyal TO the
choice Of the majority as was Jealous Ia my
attempt to defeat him.
| have no hesitancy in saying | am proud
of the support gave Judge Nicol and even
in defeat have no regrets.
We should bear in mind one truth in con.
nection with the late primary and that is this:
No matter what effect the withdrawal of Mr.
Ryan at the last moment had on the result /
am convinced that it was not for the purpose
of helping the Alexandria candidate.
What we friends Of Eicol and Gordon
should do is to put our shoulders to the wheel
and like loyal Democrats bow 10 the will of
the majority, take off our coats and proceed
to roll up for Chavlis Carlin the largest vote
ever given under the new constitution.
There is no room for sulkers in the Demo-
cratic tent and the principles Of this noble
party Will 1--we on after It's peerless leaders
today pass over the river.
Lets turn a deaf ear TO the wall Of the dis
appointed who want TO cry fraud, misman-
agement, ETC., and lets refuse to be party to
advertising someone in an attempt to disrupt
our party-one perhaps the forerunner Of the
republican party-an organization whose
only hope lies 10 democratic weakness aud
dissflection-whOsee missaries are ambushed
seeking to pounce upon the lukewarm.
We recegniz5 the fact that Mr.. Carlin's
success was in the aggressiveness Of himself
and frieDds-men who were with him wi h
their whole heart, aud who exerted their in
Auence with telling effect Mr.. Carlin did
no more than any other candidate did, ex-
cspt to perfect an excellent organization and
unite his forces-One thing alone that helped
toward the handsome victory.
The majority Of the right.thinking friends
of the defeated candidates | hardly believe
injorse the lamentations Of disappointed

or expected petty Office at the successors

Get together Nicol and Gordon democrats
and see to it that the will Of the people ex.
