Grip has been widely prevailing
in the United States. Many years
ago, when it was widely prevail

found that not a single person of
all employed there had been
troubled by the grip, the reason
being that they were at work on
sulohur. We have several times

On the question OF publicity Of
campaign contributions, the Repub-
hcans have not, up to this time. met
the issue squarely, and Mr.. Bryan
has put # up to them in such a way
that they are either bound to accept
the challenge and lose their mossim-
portant contributions or proclaim
80 the world their insincerity on the
proposition. Without contributions
from the trusts and protected inter
ests the Republican chances OF sue
cess will begreatly diminished With
these contributions they think they
can win, as they have often won be-
fore. IL is not difficult, therefore.
even II they had not already an
nounced their intention OF not max
ing their contributions public until
after the election, so predict what
course they will pursue. The Repub-
hcans realize that even with trust
contributions there is going TO be a
real fight this fall. The labor organ
izations will largely support the
Democratic ticket; the negro vote IN
the middle Western States, where it
holds the balance OF power, is not
going to be enthusiastic for the
ticket as in times past, while the sus-
picion that Republicans are making
their fight on corporation funds will
lose them many votes. Wehave not
heretofore thought that Mr.. Bryan
stood a ghost OF show, but since
the nominations have been made
and Mr.. Bryan is standing squarely
on a Democratic platform and has
cut loose from Populism and Hearst
every move on the political checker
board has been favorable to him anC
he now has a good chance.

BROAD TIRES THE REMEDY

Anent the action some months ago
OF the Henrico county supervisors In
adopting a wide tire law comes the
pleasing intelligence that those of
Caroline county have done likewise,
the Caroline law to go into effect, We
believe, Jan l, 1910. The Rich
mond News-Leaderh has the following
to say concerning the roads in wet
weather:
In the opinion OF a correspondent Of
the South Boston News, the best prOtec-
ton for the roads OF the State can be
provided by an agreement among farm
ers not to use the roads in wet weather
This correspondent points out that no
amount OF driving over dry roads can
injure them, but that when they are
dempened by recent rains the tires cut
destructive ruts. One objection to this
is that in the tobacco country the damp
or rainy day II that preferred FOR carry
ing leaf to market. Suppose the News
puts before it's people the Henrico County
idea of broad tires They do not cut
and the wetter the road the more closely
they pack the soil and the harder they
le4Ne the surface.
There are many reasons why the
farmer is compelled to use the roads
In all kinds of weather, and until We
secure, as we undoubtedly will do.
permanent highways Is would seem
the part Of wisdom for the various
counties to follow the example Of
Henrico and Caroline and adopt a
reasonable broad tire law. Adopt
such a law 80 take effect some time
of, SO as not TO cause too much eN-
pense TO the people in complying
with its terms, and it IS almost GER
tain that great and lasting benefits
will result thereirom. The people OF
Virginia are fast waking up on this
road question and we have great
faith In what the future holds il
store for the State in she way of bet
ter roads.
