Far from my home on life's rough way,

What though in lonely grief I sigh
For friends beloved, no longer nigh,

Thy will be done.

THE SPIRIT OF HUNTING TROUBLE.

When DR.. E. C. Levy was sworn in
as chief of Richmond's health depart
ment on Monday, he said he intended
to go out and look for trouble, and not
wait for it to seek his desk.
This is the proper spirit to prevail
only in health departments and a few
others, otherwise inefficiency is stamped
on it right at the start. Sanitary abuses
exist In every community, and health
officers should be active in seeking them
out. Individuals do not like to complain
of their neighbors, and often submit to
unsanitary nuisances that would be
abated by vigilant health department.
This spirit of hunting trouble should
also, we have long been firmly con-
vinced, characterize the office of Justice.

lance is made chiefly on the depart.

Then, why can't we propose?
Why can't we have our say?
Why can't we ask the men
If they will name the day?
Why can't we girls propose? Our love
why can't we tell?
Why must we always wait for men to
break the spell?
Why go on loving them and living in
such doubt?
Why can't we know our fate? Why
can't we girls speak out?
Why can't we girls propose? 'Twould

THEN LOOK ABOVE.

If sin your pathway should beset,
And smite you to the ground,
Then look above and don't forget
There are angels lowering around
To help you on.
Does darkness come and veil the way
Or hide Savior's face?
Then look above and daily pray
For new supplies of grace.
Twill help you on.
Do crosses lie upon your back,
Is rough the way and long?
Then look above and echo back
The voice of angels-song.
Twill help you on.
o troubled soul, pray never fear,
Nor ever be cast down;
But look above and you will hear
Some angels lowering round
To help you on.
If you true happiness would find
Or know from whence tits given,
Then look above and bear in mind,
1t comes alone from Heaven.

AS TO JUDGE MANN.

1t may have been unfortunate or inn
polite that he should have held such a
prominent position on the investigating
committee, if any position at all, never
theless-be it also remembered-tha
the investigating committee were APP
pointed for specific purpose, and that
purpose was, not to determine whether
Judge Rhea should have a place on the
Commission, but to ascertain and pass
upon the truth or falsity of the charges
preferred-oply this and nothing more.

! Eultor IlmeS-DlSpatch:
Sir, your paper mentioned my
name in connection with the Rhea confir-
nation, will be glad if you will publish
this letter, with the inclosed editorial
from my home paper, the Marion Demo-
crate Marion. Smith county Va, which
county is in the Ninth District, and
only short distance from where judge
Rhea was raised, he being, therefore,
well known in that country.
If one fact has been shown in this
trial above another, it is that Judge
khea certainly stands very high in the
estimation of true Democrats in his
district, for they have certainly
stood by him during his time
OF persecution. This editorial from
Smyth county voices the sentiment of
large majority of the Democrats from
the Ninth District in regard to Judge
Rhea and his appointment, and shows
the injustice that has been done him
as a mans neighbors and daily compan-
ions should be better judges of that
mans character than those who have
not been in this position, and, in this
case, must necessarily form their opin-
ion from charges brought on account
of political predjudice.
Very truly yours,
L. L. SCHERER.
Richmond, Va, March 9, 1908.
Editorial from Nor;c,, 1N.
I'VE are glad Judge Rhea has at
last been vindicated and confirmed; we
nave never doubted MIR. Swanson's wis
dom in the appointment of Judge Rhea.
We surprised, however, that anv
Democratic member of the House or
Senate should have voted against his
confirmation. The people of South
west Virginia have for years known
there was great prejudice existing
against this section. The eastern sec.
tlons of the State have it in for the
Southwest. They forget that soon
after the war they looked to the great
Southwest for their majorities in close
elections.
Had not jealousy existed amongst
certain leaders of the Democratic
party in the Southwest, Judge Rbea
would have defeated Slemp. Take
Russell county, the home of Hon. Hen
ry Stuart. 1t gave a Democratic ma
lorlty of, We think, 600 for
Judge Rhea against General Walker.
Two years later Russell county gave
Slemp about GOO maioritvl JUDGE
Rhea made his fight against Slemp al
most single-handed. The people of
the Southwest will not forget the sup
port given Judge Rhea by Judge Mann.
and we predict that Judge Mann will
get most of the Southwest counties
should he stand for the nomination for
Governor of Virginia. The comments
OF certain Democratic papers do Judge
Rhea great injustice. There is not a
man in Virginia who knows Judge Rhea
VINO can say he is not the peer of any
man in Virginia, as to honor, and his re-
cord is clean. Because he was a fear
less and hard fighter for Democracy
made him the target of all Republicans |
and their allies.
There will be no member ofthe Cor
poration Commission who will be more
honest, faithful or conscientious than
Judge Rhea, and the few Democrats
who helped Noel in his disgraceful fight
against Judge Rhea, if they have any
conscience at all, will wish they had |
acted differently. We congratulate
Judge Rhea; we feel under obligations
to Judge Mann and the other members
OF the House and Senate who stood by
him..

BISBEE MAN BOOSTS
HOME CITY WHILE
VISITING DOUGLAS
Ed, S, Williams Tells Douglas
People of Progress Being
Made In Improvements,

DOUGLAS, Dec. 1.--( Especial =
Eo S. Williams of the z. A. Tovrea
company of Bisbee was in the city
Sunday coming down Saturday night
and returning yesterday on the
o'clock train.
Mr.. williams declared to the Inter
national representative that Bisbee
was just on the eve Of UNUSUAL actty-
ity in the matter of important pubic
improvements which have been as
sured by the voting of bonds at a re-
cent election held for that purpose.
One of the most important pieces
of work to be done and for Which
the contract is already awarded is the
moving of the old subway from its
present location in the bottom of
Tombstone canyon and running 1t
straight through the business section
of the city in the rear of the post
Office building. This work is to pc
done by the FL Paso & Southwestern
railroad company and the work is to
begin within the next two weeks.
Where the old subway is will be
converted into a street, with brick
pavement and up this new street will
go the electric car line on its way to
its final terminus up Tombstone
canyon.
Additional fire protection is to be
provided by the erection of large
tanks by the city for the storage OF
water on the hill sides above the city.
Mr.. Williams is of the opinion that
the coming year will be one of the
greatest ever witnessed by Bisbee SC
far as progress and business prosDer-
ity is concerned. "
