If the federal government needs
Strengthening, it can be strengthened
by the people by a constitutional
amendment, in the manner prescribed
by the constitution.
Following out this idea advanced by
the president. a member of his cabi
net, Secretary Root, in a speech in
New York December IL. 1906, said:

President Roosevelt bitterly de-
nounced Senator Foraker, one of the
leaders Of the Republican party, for
accepting large fees from the Stand
ard Oil Company, but wherein is Sem
ator Foraker less deserving of tbs
confidence of the American people, by
reason of having accepted those fees,
than is Mr.. Taft, who recommended
to President Roosevelt an attorney OF
the Standard Oil Company for an APP
pointment as United States judge-de-
string to place an attorney of the
Standard Oh Co. in a post on to de-
termine between the Standard Oil Co.
and the people. Wherein is eithef

John S. Beard.

In introducing Hon. John S. Beard,
President Mayes said that Mr. Beard
had declined several invitations to
make speeches in other parts of the
st ate, and in other states of the I'M
ion during this campaign, having
practically retired from politics, but
had consented to make an address at
this meeting.
Mr.. Beard spoke in part as follows:
The Democratic platform declares
that the paramount. issue is, Shall
the people ruler" Every plank in the
platform, every issue in the campaign,
in its last analysis, is involved in the
issue. Shall the people rule?" If the
federal government is administered in
a manner different from, or antagonis-
tic TO, the manner prescribed by the
constitution the people do not rule.
The constitution framed and ratified
by the people of the several states,
creates the Union and establishes the
government. 1t defines and limits
the authority and power of the three
departments of government. Any OH
Ger of any department who d'sregafds

powers not given by the constitution.
of anarchy. He is not a represent
ative acting for the people, but per-
jured uSurper.
For the past seven years the fed
erai government, and especially the
executive department, has had no re-
gard whatever for the constitution
that instrument which each officer of
the government, upon his induction
into office, takes a solemn oath to de-
fend and observe. President Roose-
Welt, who was sworn to defend and
observe the constitution, has been its
most inveterate assailant, not only in
acts. but in declared intention. At
Harrisburg, Penn, Oct. 4, 1906, he
said We need through executive ac-
ton, through legislation, and through
judicial Interpretation and construc-
ton of law, to increase the power of
the federal government. If we fail
thus TO increase it we show our impo-
tence." This and similar statements
have been made time and time again
by the president of the United States

President Roosevelt has appointed
a commission to ascertain, what,
if anything, the farmers can do tt
help themselves, and how the Gov
eminent can help them" The Times
Dispatch points out the true way IN
which Mr.. Roosevelt can be relieved
of his solicitude in the matter and
help the farmers in the following;
Let the government make hori-
zontal cut in import duties which will
enable the farmer TO buy his clothes
and implements, his food and his fur
nishings, at fair price, a price nor
artifcially inflated to assist the dlvl-
dends of few well-buttressed manu-
featuring and other interests. Let the
government establish a parcel post
system which will enable the farmer
to get his purchases from the city
shops to the farm house at low rate,
a rate very different from the prOhlbl-
tive tariff maintained for the benefit
of the express monopoly.
When these two things have been
done the government will be astOnish-
ed to see how much "the general
economic, social, educational and
sanitary conditions" surrounding the
farmer will be improved. The anne
Iteration will be so great, we venture
TO say, that it will be some time be
fore he is found asking any further
help from solicitOus government.

A special from Cape Charles to the
News-Leader says: THE Pennsylvania
railroad train, composed Of two private
cars, carrying speakers, who have been
addressing the farmers throughout the
country on fertility, arrived there Tues
day, and after spending the night, left
Wednesday, going North over the N.
Y, P. & N. R." The above will be
news to most of our readers. The
farmers of Accomac for the most part,
at least, knew nothing about it and had
no opportunity to turn out" and show
the enthusiasm reported. Our people
will regret that they could not hear
these agricultural speakers, ''and they
could have been taught some lessons by
our hustling farmers, if they had not
been in such a hurry, which would have
been of some use to them in their Jun
keting tours. These "spellbinders" are
invited to come this way again and let
us know something about it the next
time.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 81, 1908.

Mr.. Bryan in late interview is re-
ported as saying: my friends do not
require me to PREJUDICE the future and
| shall not take the advice of my op-
ponents on this subject. l shall con
tinue to write and speak in defense OF
things which l believe to be good for
the American people. hope it may
never become necessary to run for OH

eide that question until the time comes
to act. do not see any necessity TO
saw more on the subject. In this ut
terance it can be plainly seen there Is
no evasion as to his wishes in the mat
ter. He is not only willing to be the
candidate of his party again but be-
lieves that he is indispensable to Demo
cracy and that the Democrats Will give
him another trial as its standard-bearer.
1t seems never to have occurred to mm
that he has been thrice defeated and
for that reason had passed out OF the
class of those available for the highest
office in the gift of the people, but he Is
too staunch a Democrat not to arrive
at that conclusion later and not to fall
in line for some one who is more likely
to carry the standard of his party tc
victory. He is surely too much Of
patriot. not to see, as the Virginian-
Pilot says, THAT the next nominee
must be Democrat neither handicap
ped by previous defeat nor markedly
identified by record with past divisions
