WHAT DOES THE SPECTATOR THINy
OF 1T?

Our friend. the SPECTATOR of this
city, overlooked our inquiry AS TO what
the SPECTATOR thinks of Virginia g
instructlng for Mr. Braxton or Major
Daniel for president, and thus present
ing to the south a southern man around
whom to rally. The SPECTATOR must
be aware of the weakness of Col Bry-
an in the south where 1t is by NO
means certain he can secure all the
electoral vores, whereas southern
man would receive there the warmest
and most enthusiastic support with
the prospect of receiving greater sup
port In the north even than Col. Bry-
an Does the SPECTATOR deny the
accuracy of this statement ?-Daiiy
News of the 18th.
Our good friend, the Daily News,
must bear with US when we do not
waste space In discussing the candida
cy of it's southern men for the presi-
dency. No man in the south can win
and such candidate would splay into
the Republican hands. If the News
desires to see how any of its proposed
SaAhldouCc Sucbd III CilC cOoph 'ooioS
Col. Bryan all it has to do is to place
them side by side with him on plat
form before the public. Let any
southern man discuss any theory OF
government, and bis views will likely
never reach the columns of New
York paper, much less receive editorial
comment. With Mr.. Bryan before the
convention none of them could enter
the race, much less received the nomi-
nation. Parker was sample Of gold
bug" candidates, any man nominated
by that branch of the party would
fare as badly as he. Nominate any
man the News suggests and be will
not. as Mr.. Bryan did in 1886, receive
more votes than his opponent, nor
will any new Mark Hannah be needed
to defraud him out Of the election.
When the News asks us question
that has enough merit in it to be seri-
ously discussed We will answer it
readily and willingly. But the above
interrogatory is not of that character
To discuss such question is to waste
breath.

Commenting on the recsnt dismissal
of Col Ayres from the army, the Hou.-
ton (Texas) Post remarks: From the
rise to power of General Corbin, dur
ing the Mckinley administration, the
official roster of the army has under
gone many changes due to executive
favoritism and the intrigues of the
war departments bureaucracy. Many
sold iers who served with distinction
in the civil and Indian wars as well az
in the Spanish American war were
summarlv retired or denied promotion
in order that rank takers like Leonard
Wood might be advanced beyond their
merits. Soldiers who resented such
i'll treatment. as Schley resented it in
the navy. have been given the hot Ell

BETTER NOW THAN HEREAFTER.

We are told that we are on the verge
OF great panic, that confidence is
waning, that persons who have invest.
ed their money in railrord stocks and
other sndustrial securities are selling
out at losses and are going to quit,
that the fight made by Mr.. Roosevelt
on trusts and combinations as we'll as
on the railroads has stampeded money,
and it has gone, and is going into hid,
ing; that the States are largely respon-
sible for this in their efforts to lower
railroad rates, and Thousand and one
other causes enter into the problem,
all of which have depressing effect.
We are further told that to feel this
in its enormitY one must not rely on
the newspapers. but go into Wall street
and see the shrunken and trembling
figures round about there, which but
an hour ago smiled at the sight of their
own loneliness.
This may be sad, but when we re
fleet that these vast fortunes were
piled up by leeGh-like blood sucking
of the people, We are not disposed to
60 into mourning over the result.
That there was blood sucking and rob-
berry We all know. Not even the Wall
street leech will deny this, but bis
claim is that conditions should not
have been changed just now, lest the
whole machinery be put out OF gear
and the business mill refuse to run.
Let it refuse. Ii it must be operated
at such cost the quicker it stop the
better. 1t would have been bound to
stop sooner or later for the people
would not have endured the robbery
always. The public has little left
yet, the gourmonds have not eaten it
all, so now Is the time to stop.

We have been told that lumber
dealer in Stanton who bought a car
load of Georgia pine recently paid in
GLIDING freight about 1920 for the car
load. Of this sum about $40 went to
pay the freight the balance went to the
lum Der dealer. Thus we see that a
poor lumberman in Georgia has to pay
the railroads about twice in much as
his lumber is worth to get it to market
and yet the rates should not be regu-
lated. Is it any wonder that the mills
are shutting down.

NOT MUCH IN THIS NAME.

We do not think the trusts dread
Mr.. Boneparte very much, certainly
not so much as the allied powers OF
Europe are said to have dreaded a
kinsman of his who. better known as
Napoleon, once worked wonders on the
map of Europe. We have heard it ask
ed, whats in a name ?" Well some
times there is a great deal. The maker
of the name generally puts whatever
there is in it. however. 1t has not
usually remained for posterity to do
more than spread around peacock
fashion on the greatness of a name
obtained from ancestry. 1t generally
spolls all who possess it. They seem
often content to allow the public to
worship them on account of it, or
wrapped in the greatness of an ances-
trail mantel they scorn individual
effort. AS for Mr.. Bonaparte, who
would possibly amount to little had bis
name been Waggles, he seems to have
some industry, good deal OF gall,
some Of the strut of the turkey cock.
and much of the indiscretion which we
attribute to youth, though he is not
young. We can hardly call to mind
any man who had reason to be called
on to fill the position of Attorney
General OF the United States. who is
less fitted for the job than he. Just
how MIR. Roosevelt Mapped to call on
him can be explained upon one theory
only, his name. He never went very
high in the political atmosphere of
Baltimore, be was not of the deriga-
BILE class of balloons to be sure, for he
could not be operated by anybody but
himself, he sailed out on his own hook.
and made his own circuit. But save
as disturber Ill the party he protested
to belong to, save that he was regarded

ing to teach republic political lessons
gathered from, land learned in foreign
monarchy, monarchy different from
any that ever rose, or reigned,
or fell, but so different from Ameri
can ideas that no assimilation could
take place in centuries, he cuts no ice.
Yet Mr. Roosevelt, attracted no doubt
by the name of Bonaparte, needing a
general who could pull off an AusterlitZ
or Wagnam, send the allied Trusts
into route and defeat, invested him
with power and sent him forth to do
battle. What he may accomplish when
the general engagement comes on is
prOblematical, but in the skirmishes
preceding the general engagement not
much has been accomplished; but this
much has been done, he has ridden to
the front and announced to the enemy
his direful intentions. He has warned
them to surrender, or flee from the
wrath to come. But they have not fled.
One of the greatest OF his opposing
generals, one whom it was thought
would prove a second CORVALLIS at
Yorktown. by quick capitulation, has
just told the public that "all the rail
roads in the country would be mine if
Icould get control of them.' We fear

much SO as one awaited his distin-

NV Dear Sir-Remembe Der ing our very
agreea ole talk at White Sulphur,
beg to comment in brief on the article
herewith attached in respect to rates
to the jamestown Exposition
THE article referred to appeared in
our issue of the I'd, and the portion TO
which Mr.. Pott 3 letter is directly ad-
dressed is the following
mo decent rate has BEEN liVen to
that point, aud there is 10 earthly wav
of finding out what trains or how
many, go there daily from this or ANY
other quarter, unless perchnuce one
wOuln take day Off, sic by the rail-
road and count the traliis as they go
BY"
Mr.. Potts says:
We have endeavored to arrange our
rates tor this occasion on such q liber-
al scale as to admit of every one desIr.
ing to attend TO do so. The rates from
Stanton are made on the same basis
as those IRON distant points; for ex-
ample, Cincinnati, Chicago, st. Louis,
etc. We have in force rate from
Staunton to the exposition Oh each
Thursday of S. 10, which Iates are
based ON one cent per mile and with
limit OF five days, including date of
sale.
For your further information, | will
say that il is the purpose of The expn'
sitlon people to set aside g day for each
important community in Virginia: for
example. Charlottesville day, Staur son
day, Lynchburg Gay, etc When th csc
dates are arranged, We propose selling
tickets on basis IF ore cent per mile
with sufficient limit.
l assure you of my deepest interest
in the welfare OF Stanton and its Cit
liens, and that l stand ready tt any
time to DO for your community any
thing that is consistently within my
power. Yours truly,
JNO. d. PORTS,
General Passenger Agent.
1t is always pleasurable to discuss
these matters with the higher officials
of the road, such as Mr. Potts, for by
such discussions a better understand
ing is obtained, and more intelligent
ideas gathered. We have by this dis
cusslon for the first time learned of
the $500 rate on Thursdays Not be,
ing in position just now to obtain
the rate for days other than Thursday
we are not prepared to discuss them
| at present, but our understanding is
that the rates so far have not been
either liberal or satisfactory. We re-
greet Mr.. Potts did not occupy more of
our space and tell what the rate is on
days other than THURSDAYS. This, by
the way, is the first information the
| readers of the SPECTATOR ever had as
| to Jam estOwn rates. We will be only
too glad to be told how these rates
compare with rates to the Philadel-
phia Centennial, and with Chicago
Exposition rates. and will publish facts
and figures. if furnished.
