POLITICS WAS PICTURESQUE.

Is the sentimental side of a cam- paIgn-the side that belonged par ticularly to the boy and the girl-- gone? There Is many a grown-up in both sexes in Kansas who recalls when "he was a boy or she was a girl" the torchlights, the pole raisings. the glee clubs, the red. white and blue dresses, the torch light processions, the kid fights and that everlasting youthful joy, the campaign cap.
 "A man gave me a dollar one time" said a Kansas matron the other day, ito yell for Cleveland at a street parade in Wichita, and my daddy was the most oyerheated re- publican in the whole town. had campaign cap labeled Blaine and Logan.

MAINE LOOKING AT LUCE,

Will an Auburn man, born and bred, one day be governor of Mass achusetts? That is a question which, if it cannot be answered in the affirmative, at least has some interesting possibilities. The man is Robert Luce. born In Auburn in 1862, but for many years resident of Massachusetts, and now living in Somerville. According to the poll tical signs, MT Luce Is very likely to be the next lieutenant-governor of the commonwealth of Massachu- setts, and as Massachusetts has long been Tn the habit of promoting it's lieutenant-governors to the govern orship, the chances of his becoming governor are not so remote. Or course that is speculation. but should 1t ever happen it will be the fifth time that Maine born man has sat in the governors seat. Robert Luce, is the son of Lieut. Col Enos T. Luce, and when he was born the colonel was at the front commanding the 23d Maine volun- teers. Col Luce was born in Wilton graduated from Bowdoin college, and served as judge of probate for Androscoggin county. and judge of the Lewiston municipal court. In 1874 he went to Massachusetts and Tor 27 years has been judge of the district court at Waltham. pcsI. tion he now holds. though be is 7s years of age. Rnhar' Lrne has heen prominent in Massachusetts politics for long time.-Kennebec Journa..

The Tariff.

Dispatches from Washington in
form us that President Roosevelt
holds that the revision of the
tariff is a matter which pertains
wholly To the next administration.
and he therefore feels that il is not
for him to display any official
activity on the subject" This
gentle consideration. this tender
delicacy and sweet self.denial. is
not altogether unexpected. The
President is martyr 10 official
etiquette. a prisoner of red tape.
The reconstruction of The tariff
belongs TO his successors admin
istration, and therefore he, Roose-
welt, must needs keep resolute
grip upon himself. though every
instinct in him. every pulse and
breath and emotion that he owns,
cries out to rush upon the Dingley
schedules and manhandle them.
Aldrich, described TO us as the
supreme authority in the whole
Republican party on tariff legisla-
ton, thinks that the new customs
law should be passed by the middle
of May next, and be put into effect
on the lst of July. The passing
process is to be done in the extra
session of Congress Immediately
following the regular short session,
and doubtless will not consume a
great deal of time. Wide depart
ure from existing schedules is not
expected save by the more trustful
citizenry. Certainly n few tables,
where opposition pressure has been
strongest, will be pared down.
Simultaneously. few other tables
will be quietly hoisted up. The re-
vised tariff law, we are told, will
be specifically in the hands of
Serene f. Payne, who has not
commonly been counted as precise
ly free trader. Dalzell's hand
will certainly be in it. and Joseph
Gurney Cannon'S. Sherman 5 re-
moval to higher sphere will sep
arate him from most of the fun,
but the Dingley tariff will hardly
miss him. 1t is assured of receiv-
ing treatment at the hands of its
most loving friends. and no dis
credited and assaulted bill could de-
sire more than that. Richmond

Now, gentlemen, we will hear
what YOU have to say about being
Governor of Virginia. You have
all hustled pretty lively in the

to the main chance, of course, and
honors are even on that score.
Now, which OF you can eat the
most mush with the least milk and
thus be mammals boyl Virginia
wi wantthe man foi Governor who
will show that he can get more re-
suits with the least money: that he
can call halt on the extravaganza
which has recently more or less
obtained, and get the administration
right down to business. Which of
you knows anything about scien-
titic fish and oyster culture as dis
tinct from politics? We haven't
anybody in authority now who
knows, and it is of vital interest to
the State that we should have.
Which of you, in fact, is capable
of seeing above the heads of street
corner politicians when it comes
to handling the States great in
terests, and will seek out the best
man to do what the State has to do
in its several fields of endeavor.
The broadcast man in all these
respects is the man that Virginia
ought to seek for Governor. -

Liquor Causes Sunday "RuctiOn. +"

VIII Mills and JeiT Martin, both
colored, had i very interesting
scrap on Church street in the
early hours Of Sunday morning,
and when Mayor Jones sifted the
case on Monday, he taxed each of
the combatants s. and costs, total
ing ST.S5 each.
From the evidence in the case,
it appeared that JeG made a trip
TO Charles Town ON Saturday and
purchased q valise-full OF booze for
himself and others who sent money
by him. Returning 20 Berryville
at a very late hour, ne decided to
take nap in the public hitching
yard with the valise as pillow.
Mills dicovered the sleeper, and
probably having some idea as to
the contents of the yalise. removed
1t from under JeG's head and
started away. JEFF woke up, and
the trouble started. JEFF being
physically unfit for fast running,
armed himself with new-laid maca-
dam, and pelted VIII thoroughly.
Both the combatants were soon
under arrest, bUt only pint of the
booze was discovered. Several
claimants came forward for the
liquid. but the Mayor has not been
thoroughly convinced as to the
proof Of ownership and holds the
loot for future consideration.

Accidentally Killed by Friend.

One of the saddest tragedies
ever enacted in Clarke county was
the accidental killing of Gilber,
Groves by Walter Estep. son OF
MIR. ). b. Estep, near Boyce. last
Sunday afternoon.
A coroner's jury was summoned
on Monday, the session being at.
tended by Commonwealth Attor-
ney Lewis. of Berryville. who
represented the State.
Evidence at the inquest proved
that several boys, in company with
young Groves. were out walkinu
on Sunday afternoon and me,
young Estep ON the farm nf Super.
visor Jacob S. Carver. Youno
Estep had the shotgun, and it was
while playfully handling it that il
WAS discharged, the entire load en-
terlng Groves breast and causing
death almost instantly.
As soon as it was seen that
Uroves was wounded, the other
boys ran for DIR. w. Il. Stuart,
who responded quickly to their
appeal, but he found that death
had been almost instantaneous.
The coroner's jury found nd
evidence of any character to indi.
cate that the shooting was other
than accidental. and so reported.
and no prosecution of young Estep
will be initiated.
Young Groves, who was native
OF Loudoun county, was Is year,
of age, and had been working ON
the farm Of Mr.. Clay Carr for
some time past. He was well-lillcd
by all his companions and was ON
good terms with young Estep.
Young Estep, who is about %
years of age. Is suffering the most
extreme mental anguish from his
unfortunate act and is in pitiable
condition from nervousness and
inability to sleep since the sad
occurrence.
Young Groves, whose parents
have been dead for several years,
is survived by one sister, Mrs. A.
III. Payton, of Boyce.
The funeral was held yesterday.

Future Of the Democracy.

There is just one more duty for
the Republican party To perform
satisfactorily to put the Democratic
party out of the political business,
and that is TO revise the tariff in a
way just to the consumer as we'll
as to the producer. 1t is a. big
job; but the q. o. p. is long ac-
customed to such work. How the
thing will come out time alone can
tell.
The Democratic party will go
the way of the Federalists and the
Wings unless the Republicans shall
make them present of an issue
like that seized on by Kerr, Nor
riSon, Carlisle, Wilson, and Mills.
What this generation of Democrats
would do with such an issue nobody
knows. 1t had it in 1906. and
threw it to the dogs, thereby losing
the SiXtieth Congress.
Mr.. Bryan announces that he is
not out of politics, and there is not
the slightest doubt that he will boss
and hector the Democratic party
IT, indeed, there shall remain a
Democratic party to harry-until
some Democratic leader shall come
up, and, taking his life in his hands,
bell the cat. At present there is
no sign that such leader is in
being.
To a man with the slightest saga
city it is become manifast- it
was manifest to most men two
Years ago-that to again make the
Democratic party formidable
force in American politics it must
getat least 1000, 900 recruits from
the Republican party-men who
twice supported Mckinley, who
supported Roosevelt in 1904, and
Taft in 1908. He that runs reads
that.
And he that runs now knows
that Mr. Bryan, as the leader or
the trusted counselor of the Demo-
cratic party, can enlist no recruits
from the Republican ranks. But
Mr.. Bryan, says he is enlisted for
hfe. There is no sign that he has
abdicated the leadership, and nc
sign that the party desires him to
surrender his place as head and
front of the organization.
just as it was year a ago, it is
up to the South-the South that is
the Democratic party. If that sec.
ton wants to go to another defeat
under Bryanism-if not under
Bryant will have opportunity
If, however, the South is tireC
OF defeat it must take steps to put
new leader at the head of the
party and more Democracy in the
Observation-Disclosures Post.
