Soldiers Pass ThFOug.

Troop II. Thirteenth Cavalry,
under command of Lieutenant
Fisher, passed though Berryville
early Sudday morning on their
way to Winchester, where they
will spend the week in attendance
on the Winchester Fair.
The troop, which is mounted
upon black horses, is one of the
best drilled cavalry companies in

PeluFiOQS Patriots.

Money, it has been observed.
talks, and the recently published
list of Democratic contributions
indicates an alarming absence of
campaign Oratory in Virginia.
Now there are in the Old Dominion
nine Democratic Congressman, two
Democratic Senator's, one Demo
cratic Governor, one Democratic
Lieutenant-Governor and a State
administration that is Democratic
throughout. No lack there of
Democratic Office holders. who
presumably know and preach the
value of Democracy. But Judged
by results, those public harangues
and private opinions have been
singularly Ineffective in Virginia,
for so far as loquacious financial
support Is concerned Virginia is
not known to the Democratic Ma
tlOnal Committee.
Because 4 man is an ofice-holder
Is no reason why he should be
dragooned into contributing from
his salary or private fortune to the
party he supports. Honor enough
and service sufficient if the fortu-
nate Otiice-holder give his time TO
making articulate oration for his
party, and, incidentally, to mend
ING his political fences. To the
unrewarded stalwarts who pay poll
taxes for the privilege of voting is
also left the unoStentatious, but not
to be neglected, obligation of also
paying the piper who plays the
regular tune.
From time to time The Times
Dispatch has urged upon the Dem
ocrats of Virginia the need of con-
tributing literally TO the national
party. The alacrity with which
our eXhOrtatiOnS have been disre-
garded long since led Us to believe
that 4 little leadersphip in the mat
ter of patriotic party support was
desirable That belief that pub
hShed list of contributors to the
Democratic campaign confirms.
Virginia alone of all the Democratic
States does not appear. Not a
citizen and not an ofiice-holder in
this impregnable stronghold of
Democracy Is recorded as giving a
paltry 500 for the work of the
national campaign.
Have the Democratic masses
grown miserly. Have our patriots
become penuriouS! - Richmond

Democratic Chances BRIGHTER.

The chances for the election OF
Bryan and Kern grow brighter
each day. and States which were
considered very doubtful a week
ago are now placed in the Demo-
cratic column by independent and
unbiased writer's.
Walter Wellman, one of the best
political writer's of the middle
States, who has been touring
Indiana and Ohio for a Chicago
newspaper, gives it as his opinion
that both States will be carried by
Bryan, and says that is not my
opinion alone, but is the firm con-
viction of every newspaper writer
who has gone over these States in
careful manner"

hard to see by what logic the news
papers writer's can figure Taft To
win over Bryan except by trad

Democrats are united for the first
time since Cleveland was elected
and every man appears to be doing
his share toward Democratic
victory.
The Republicans are sending
speakers into every election pre-
cinct in the States of New York.
Indiana, Illonois. Ohio. Maryland
and West Virginia, and the only
thing which will prevent the Dem
ocrats from sending speakers to
meet them and refute their state
ments will be the lack of funds 10
pay speakers expenses. Every
voter in the safely Democratic
States is urged to send his mite
to Herman Ridder, Treasurer.

New York, y. Y, at once. in order
that legitimate expenses of the
campaign may be met.
Send $40 if you can; or S5; or
$3.50; or 81. But be sure to send
something. The Democracy is the
party OF the common people," +"
and their campaign expenses must
be borne by the great masses. If
we can elect Bryan and Kern on
the third day of next month it will
be great victory for the plain
people who gave their small con-
tributions to the cause.

from Kansas says, "Ibelieve Kansas

by administration panegyrists as
an evidence of Mr.. Roosevelt's S

the stump in Virginia for Mr..

Why Labor Supports Bryan.

In his open letter to the labor
men of this Country, President
Gompers, of the American Feder-
alton OF habor, urges every nan
to vote for Bryan, and says:
You are Delivers in the from
of government described by the
immortal Lincoln as government
of the people, for the people, and
by the people. You would not be
true Americans if you were not.
This from of government is a gov
ernment by law and is the direct
opposite Of-the despotic from
which is government by discretion.
Government by injunction is gov

words, despotice. You would not

may do your duty.

possible for the party to find

"Labor's representatives then
