Added to the many vocal crimes of
the talking machines will be the rendi-
ton of the speeches of Mr.. Bryan. All
sorts of seductive efforts have been
made at times to get Mr.. Roosevelt to
commercialize his voice. But he has
rightly drawn the line on canned speech.
This may have been dictated by a sense
of propriety, but it was probably sug-
gested as well by sagacity. The merit
IN speech is its timeliness. 1t is golden
only when silence is nota merit. There
could be no more effectual way of max
ing the Democratic candidate a public
annoyance than to have takers the land
over regaling unwilling ears from
street corners and public halls and all
other places with the sonorous senti-
ments of the Nebraskan upon the crimes
of 1908.
1t is bad enough to have to pass
through the vale of tears with the usual
and customary noises to rack ones
nerves. But to be assailed by the
speeches of Mr.. Bryan, vibrant and me
talic, saving the atmosphere on all
sides, would be to create a condition
that would lead the mildest man to sui

to in any other way, should not some

out This would cover the financial
losses of the candidate from sales of
cylinders containing his exhortations to
the people to vote for him, and at the
same time keep the people from be-

Italian Lovers Vengeance Aided by a
Jailer.

Giuseppe Serso. a workman. aged %,

Italy. for burglary in which he was
implicated and sentenced to four
months imprisonment
He spent the first part of his I'M
prisonmsnt in counting the days until
his release. when he would be married
to his sweetheart, who had sworn that
she would never forsake him.
But one day the Jailer told him that
the marriage banns OF the girl and an
other man had been published
Serao was terribly upset. and de
clared that he would rather see the
girl dead than married to anyone else.
The jailer later agreed that he was
right, and after some hesitation he
acceded to the prisoners request to
let him go and kill her.
Serao swore solmenly that he would
not tarry an instant longer than WAS
necessary for the deed, and the jailer
released him to fulfill the noble duty
of a lover.
Serao returned to prison a couple
OF hours later. He had stabbed the girl
dead. and was content to await his
own further punishment. The jailer
has been arrested.

to be bound to support the nominees of

Probably an equal number, or more, re-
fused to vote in the municipal primary

to vote for the party nominee for presi-

We estimate the number of Richmond
voters who usually vote the democrats
ticket but will vote for Taft this time at
from 1000 to 1900. The News Leader
intends to do all il can TO induce them
to fall into line aud vote for BRYAN. but
there is no use in trying to conceal the
truth that among them sre many of the
very best citizens IF Richmond. men

dence and good will OF the community.
Furthermore, If there was any way to
determine the facts and ascertain the
figures, we would be willing to wager
any reasonable amount with the Vir-
acknowledgements to go to the
democratic campaign fund-that fully
five hundred white citizens of Norfolk
who are classed as democrats will vote
for Taft in November, unless the Vir-
ginian-Piiot can head them off and
change their present purpose.

damental principle of the Democratic
party that the Federal Government has
no constitutional power to impose and
collect tariff duties, except for the pur-
pose of revenue only?'' Was not this
a complete reputation of the ''inciden-
tai protection" for which the Virginian-
Pilot claims the Democratic party has
always stood? Was not the Wilson
bill, as it was framed and passed by the
House of Representatives, based upon
and made to conform to the Democratic
platform of 1892, on which Mr.. Cleve-
land was elected President? Was not
the Wilson Bill Commanded in the Sen
ate and made to fit the mongrol doc
trine tariff for revenue with incidental
protection" And was it not for this
reason that Mr.. Cleveland refused to
sign the Wilson-GormRn bill, and de-
clared that it was too outrageous to be
treated as Democratic tariff measure?
Our Norfolk contemporary is not
50 blindly ignorant that it does not
know that tariff for revenue only
and free trade have always been
treated as synonymous terms. This is
why England has always been called
free trade England. Then, custom has
made 1t right to cali any tariff that is
levied for revenue only a free trade
tariff and the party that makes it a free
trade party.
The Democratic platform of 1892 de-
clared for tariff for revenue only. And
the platform of the party recently
adopted at Denver declares:
1--WE favor the immediate revision of
the tariff by the reduction of import
duties. Articles entering into compe-
tition with trust-controlled products
should be placed upon the free list. -.
And graduated reductions should be
made in such other schedules as NAV be
necessary to restore the tariff to a rev.
enue basis
This is either a bold declaration in
favor of free trade, or it is another
successive fraudulent announcement of
the Democratic party. Our Norfolk con-
temporary is now standing upon and sup
porting this and the tariff plank of 1892.
on which Mr.. Cleveland was elected. Has
the VirginianPilot become so frighten-
ed at being called a free trader that it
will abandon the tariff views of both
Cleveland and Bryan? Can it expect to
be taken seriously when it contends at
one time for return to fundamentals
and then in brief while turns upon and
repudiates one of the chief fundamen-
tails of the Democracy?

WILL SLAM DEMOCRAcY.

Our always interesting but very err
ratio contemporary, the Richmond News
Leader, continues to exhibit excitement
about the Ninth District Since it made
its awful plunge into the sea of Bryan
ism its zeal for error has become more
intense. Not satisfied with suffering or
enjoying the fate it has chosen for itself
that of going to the devil with the
Bryan Democracy-it is striving to in
crease the army of misguided unfortu-
mates and is eager to have the Ninth
District join its company in the march
to political hades. In a recent article
ISLAM Slemp," the News Leader tries
to point out the way by which our dis
trict can be converted to Organism and
placed again in line with the corrupt
Virginia Democracy. The News Leader
says:
There Is no reason why the fight in
that district should not be made so warm
as not only to prevent Mr.. Slemp from
his activities outside it, but
10 force him to hard battle for his own
political existence. In the other dis
riots there is little to do except to stir

Idea Of Church Worker Has Greatly
Increased Collections.

Here Is story OF church worker
who stands a pretty good show OF
some day becoming secretary OF the
United States treasury. He serves in
church that is popular with young
men Shortly after he assumed the
duties of usher there was an apparent
Increase in the general collections
At the same time II was noticed that
the young men who attended church
singly or in pairs were seated. when
ever 1t was possible, in a pew where
there was at least one good-looking
girl. At nrst it was thought that that
circumstance might indicate a possible
connection on the young mans part
with matrimonial agency. but that
suggestion he denied Indignantly.
II you'll Just watch the collections"
ne said, you'll know why 1 seat them
SO. I've kept an eye on those co-edu-
cauonal pews and find that any man
will contribute twice as much money
TO the church when there is a young
woman sitting beside him to see how
much he gives. Propinquity may in
some such cases promote matrimony.

PR0TeCTIONIST SENTIMENT.

How much protectionist sentiment is
there in Virginia? We see rival candi-
dates for the democratic nomination in
the Second congress district wing with
each other in promises to demand a dutv
on peanuts for the protection of the
Virginia grown peanut against foreign
competition. In the numbering districts
We are told the feeling for a protective
tariff on lumber is strong and practical
~ universal. And the funny part of it
IS that some of these very people who
are clamoring for protective tariff are
Wanting themselves with vicious vi
vacity and clamors of insistence as the
only real, OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES demo-
Gratis in the State and trying to read
and kick the rest of US out of the party.
Richmond News Leader.
If our esteemed contemporary would
take the trouble to investigate it would
md that protectionist sentiment is very
strong with most of the electorate
certainly with most of the business men
In Virginia. Many of these protection
lists are Democrats, but many of these
Democrats haven't the courage of their
convictions. From timidity or preiu.
dice against the Republican party. they.
as the News Leader is now doing as a
supporter of Bryan, support doctrines
they do not approve. For instance.
take coal operators and the iron manu-
1acturers of this section, some of whom
are Democrats, and you will find about
all Of them are for protective duty on
coal, on iron ore and on manufactured
iron. Then go to Eastern Virginia and
you will find the lumber men all for q
protective tariff on yellow pine and the
other lumber they are producing. 1t
was upon their request and demand that
Senator Martin, and. we believe, Sena-
tor Daniel, voted for that provision in
the Dingley bill which put heavy duty
on yellow pine lumber. 1t is this same
sentiment that is making the rival Dem
ocratic candidates in the Second District
promise to demand a duty on peanuts.
Heretofore the name peanut politi-
clan, y has been one of opprobium. But
these peanut politicians of the Second
District are showing their good sense in
yielding to the wishes of great indus
try and in promising to help.give it the
beneficent assistance of the Republican
principle of protection. The late Colo
mel Abe Fulkerson frequently said that
he had always noticed that Democrats
who had anything to protect were pro-
tectionists. The campaign now going
on IN the Second District is another il
lustration of the truth of the saying of
Colonel Fulkerson. We hope the day is
not distant when these protectionist
Democrats will become more unselfish,
and will stand for the application of the
principle Of protection to all the pro-
ducts and producers of the United
States. Then they will not only be SEN
sibie In a few but sensible in many
things.

that can be secured for Virginia ought
to be put in the Ninth District and
, every available speaker likely to be eff
feetive should be sent there"
Our Richmond contemporary ought to
recall the fact that plan similar to the
one It now suggests was adopted two
years ago for the campaign in this dis
trict- Democratic craft and Democrat
&c dollars were concentrated here in a
vain effort to wrest the district from
the Republicans. The arch corruption
list, j. Taylor Ellyson, came out here
and told the Democrats of the South
west how he did things in the East.
Ellyson not only told them how to do
things, but he promised them dollar
from the Eastern portion of the State
for every dollar that the Democrats of
the Ninth would raise among them
selves to use in behalf of the candidacy
OF K. P. Bruce. A large corruption
fund was raised and used in the district.
but it awaited nothing.
The News Leader now saws: EVERY
democratic dollar that can be secured
for Virginia ought to be put in the
Ninth district" Judging from the ex-
ample Of the News Leader. which. since
its conversion to the evangel of BRYAN
ism, has shown an wonderful spirit of
generosity, many Democratic dollars
will be collected and discussed in Vir
g'nia to propagate the gospel of modern
Democracy. Our contemporary has
become a zealOt in that line; and not
only offers to contribute one hun
bred of its Democratic liars to the
cause, but urges all other so-called
Democratic papers to donate with equal
liberality.
If all these many Democratic dollars
are sent to the Ninth District, we re-
specially ask the News Leader to tell
US how it expects them to be used. Are
the people OF the district so ignorant
that our contemporary expects the fund
can be proftably used to enlighten
them intellectually and morally. so that
they will gladly accept the doctrines of
pure Democracy that are now being ex-
pounded by Mr.. Bryan? Surely our
contemporary is not so obtuse as to i'm
agine anything of the kind. Such Dem
ocratic funds have heretofore been used
only IN an effort to corrupt the elector-
ate, witness the testimony furnished a
recent correspondent of the News Lead
er by self-confessed Democratic cor
ruptionists.
We warn our Richmond contemporary
that its suggestions are useless. so far
as they look to taking this district by
the use of Democratic dollars and Dem
ocratic tricks. Send all the money and
all the orators you can find to the Ninth.
They can only be used in purchasing
and enthusing those who have hereto
fore been caught and inspired by such
influences. The Republicans of the
Ninth will spit upon the hand of the
heller who offers them one of the faint
ed dollars, and laugh to scorn the feeble
arguments of your orators. The Re-
pubhcans out here will ISLAM Democra-
cy and Elect Slemp."
