circulated. with the idea of secur-
ing necessary and long needed i'm

The sanitary conditions at the

Supervisors Meet.

The annual meeting of the
Clarke County Board of Supervis-
ors at the Courthouse on Monday
was harmonious in every way, and
the members of the Board were
well pleased with their work when
they adjourned.
The sum of $500 was appropri-
ated for working the Ashby Gap
Turnpike. This work is under the
supervision of Mr.. Carver.
The Sheep Fund was adjusted,
and very much to the surprise and
pleasure of the Board members,
paid out 100 cents on the dollar.
The annual tax levies for 1909
were laid, a. follows:
County Levy, 20 cents on the
500; decrease from % cents.
Railroad Levy, 10 cents on 800:
a decrease from - cents.
County Road Levy, cents on
800: same "a last year.
County School Levy. 10 cents
on 500.
District School Levies-
Battletown. 10 cents.
Longmarsh, 10 cents.
Chapel, 20 cents.
Greenway, 10 cents.
District Road Levies-
Chapel, - cents.

Battletown, 20 cents.
LOngmarsh, 20 cents.
\ special levy of 10 cents on
500 was levied for Chapel district.
for the purpose of refunding the

Chapel district.
The affairs of the County are
pronounced to be in excellent con-
dition. and the increased amounts
being raised in Greenway and
Chapel districts for road purposes
indicate that those two up-to-date
districts will take no backward
step in the movement for better
roads.

The Democratic Manager.

The selection of Norman +.
Mack of Buffalo as manager of
Mr.. Bryan's campaign seems to
have been an eminently wise
move. Not only Is Mr.. Mack
acceptable to the candidate, but
his personality is such that he will
make a creditable leader for the
Democratic party. \ man honor
ed in his home community, and
respected wherever he is known.
Mr.. Mack combines the qualities
of business ability with the neces-
sary knowledge Of practicalpolitics.
Having risen from poverty to
wealth solely through his own
effort, Mr.. Mack is of the type of
"self-made man" that Americans
love so well. There has never
been a suspicion or a hint against
his personal integrity.
1t was good strategy to select
a manager from a great eastern
state. The vice chairmanship is
given to the west, as is also the
important post of treasurer. To
Oklahoma, the newest of the states,
goes this latter honor. But if Mr..
Bryan is to be elected he must
make great gains in the east, and
New York looks like the hest battle
ground. Moreover, a battle in
New York is better worth winning
than a contest in any other state,
The immense electoral vote would
go far toward giving Mr.. Bryan
the election, were he able to hold
his own in the west and south. -

West Point and The Law

There could hardly l,e 2 more
striking Illustration of the wide
spread lack of observance of the
law, and of the di~respcct in which
1t Is held. than the action of the
West Point cadets who were re-
Gently dismissed for hazing i'm COM
ing To Washington and asking the
Secretary Of War to reinstate
them. After many years of toler-
alton of hazing, there we're so
many abuses and excesses found to
be invariably connected with il
that public opinion became aroused
ON the subject, and demanded that
1t be abolished. The military au-
lhorities attempted to do it and
iailed, and Congress then took IT
IN hand and unanimously passed a
law providing that any cadet de-
tected in hazing should be sum-
marily dismissed. These offending
cadets knew the law. They knew
also that they were supported and
paid by the country for the pur-
p"se OI having Il trained body Of
men to enforce the law. and that
the first duty of a soldier is obedi-
ence to the law. not a. he thinks it
ought Ia be. bui rs it is.
In spite or all This. they deliber-
ately violated the law. Then they
came to Washington and told the
Secretary OF War that they had
done SO because the only way 10
make gond officers is to haze them
when they are cadets. They rep
resented themselves, while DISC
beying their superiors and break
ing the laws they had sworn TO
support, as having acted the part
of patriotic citizens anxious To do
their country a service, Ii was
really marvel of etlrontcry that
those boys should have asked in
the most matter-of-coursc way to
be put back in the academy. and
yet they evidently expected it
would be done.
Now it is said they will apply TO
Congress Congress should turn
deaf ear to any such application.
If we are 90 continue To exist as a
civilized community, respect for
and observance OF the law must bc
increased among us everywhere.
any especially must it be insisted
on among those who are trained and
and employ Ia observe and enforce
It. LawlcssneSs has been, and still
is, rife in every section Of the land.
individuals and mobs are constantly
violating the law by taking il into
their own hands. There is nothing
like the respect for it here that
there is in other countries, and we
are suffering from the conse-
quences. LawleSSness is our ma
tional disease, and it must be
stamped out. Washington Post.

Pitching a game which should
have held the visitors scoreless,
and allowing only five safe hits,
the team behind Shepherd made
all kinds of errors of omission and
commission last Friday and the
visiting Upperville aggregation
tucked away an 5 to 3 victory.
The visitors also erred in playing.
and only one OF the locals runs
was earned.
1t was really the worst exhibition
the home team has given on the
local field this season, and now
that it is over and the errors have
been eliminated from their sys-
TENS, we can expect to see some
good ball playing.
Kincheloe, the visitors catcher,
and Albert Smallwood. the locals,
second basemcn, were painfully
injured, but both pluckily finished
the game.
Three fly balls were mutTed in
the local outfield, establishing a
record which we hope will never
be equalled.
The game was played in n driz.
zling rain, which made the bal
hard to handle, but very few of the
errors can be charged To that.
RoSzcl pitched fine game fol
Upperville, and used his head t,
good advantage when the locals
threatened.
The game was interesting, and
few of the spectators were driver
away by the rain.
The team is much weakened 10y
the injury of Catcher Shacklett, al
though Galloway caught a gooC
game, considering his lack of prac
hce. Shacklett hopes to get in tn,
game again next week.

Personal Payment" and the Electorate

1850 N%HN Wv 1ASNN0AWbN
Says the Norfolk Landmark of
the latest poll-tax dicision:
The requirement that the voter
pay his poll-tax in person adds Just
that much 10 the trouble already
attached to voting. In a broad
way, if the Supreme Court sus-
tains Judge Martin-as seems to
US likely-it will be 80 per cent
harder to keep voters up to the
mark than it is now. Having two
acts to perform in person now, the
voter in Virginia will then have
three acts 10 perform in person
half as much again to do in bodily
presence as he has now. The eff
feet of this upon the electorate will
unquestionably be shriveling."
The truth of this observation is
only too well borne out by the pres
ent situation in the South. where
attempts to limit the electorate
have resulted in a dimiMtion of
voters not dreamed Of.
In Georgia, for example, As the
American Magazine recently
pointed out eleven Congressman
were elected in 1902 by only 10
S47 votes, while Delaware. with
only one Congressman. cast Il So
votes. In 1904 Alabama, Arkan-
Sas. Georgia -~and Mississippi.
which have thirty-five members i'm
Congress, cast only 4l3.5i6 votes.
While Massachusetts alone. with
only fourteen Congressman. cast
445,O9S votes. In Virginia the
proportion Of nonvoters is almost
as marked. According to the
United States census for 1900.
there were 1876. .3S9 males of voting
age in Virginia that year, and the
total vote for President was 264.-
095-that is, 17i,294 males over
twenty-one years of age did not
vote in 1900 i'm Virginia. In 1902
the new Constitution went into ef-
feet, with the result that the total
vote for President i'm 1904 was only
l30, 0,544, which was 133,551 less
than in 1900. In 1905, in the CUB
ernatorial election. the vote de-
clined to 129, ,339, falling of l.
205 from the previous year.
This recession is still further
emphasized by the congressional
election in 1906, when only $751;
votes were polled. This means
that in 1906 less than one-fifth OF
all the males over twenty-one
years of age were voting-includ-
ing whites and blacks. As there
were 301,379 whites alone over
twenty-one years of age in Nir.
ginia in 1900 the returns giver
above show that the total vote cas-
in 1906 for Congressman was only
2S per cent of the white voting
population in 1900.
These figures conclusively sus
tain the opinion Of the Landmark
that each additional requirement
ON the voter will necessarily tenC
to further restricting the elector
