The Ocean Mail Bill.
PHILADELPHIA Press \

Inc Democrats are consistently Cd
posed to all measures for reviving cur
merchant marine. They would not sue
coed IN keeping it Frustrated, however,
II they were not assisted by a few Re
puollcans- The Gallinger ocean mail bill
which recently passed the Senate has
IN this way received an adverse iudg-
ment in the House Committee on Post
Offices and Post Roads.
This bill authorized the Government to
pay for earring the mail the sum of
81 mile to siXteen-knot vessels having
route of 1000 miles or over. 1t would
give US lines to South America, Aus
tralia and Asia, where now we have
none or are about to lose what we have.
1t Is not subsidy bill in any proper
sense. The money is offered for a mail
service which we need. Without this
help the lines will not be operated and
the mail must seek roundabout coarse
1t Is very modest, moderate measure
that would give US few ships on the
high sea, where our flag is now almost
unknown. Yet three Republicans voting
with the Democrats have defeated the
bill in the House Committee.
1t is believed that majority of the
House favors this bill. We hope that
this majority will not allow three Re
pubhcans acting with the Democrats to
defeat this measure. 1t is Republican
measure. Its passage was urged by the
President and it is responsive to the
declarations of all the Republicans ma
tional conventions held in the last twenty
years. A committee vote is not neces
sarily decisive of a measures fate.
The House has ways of taking matter
into its own hands when it wants, and
this ocean mail bill can and should be
saved from defeat.

Progressive Lawlessness.
NASHVILLE AmericanN

Those who SOW the wind must rean
the whirlwind. Lawlessness is progress
sive. 1t does not stand still. 1t grows
and becomes more reckless and defiant.
First condoned in its milder forms be-
cause caused by a sense of outrage and
injustice, it becomes a consuming fire
an affiiction worse than a pestilence.
1t becomes a school of crime and breeds
murderers, assassins, towards, brutes
outlaws of the torch against whom no
home is safe.
You can not indict whole conmun-
ity or police whole State. The COM
munlty can destroy itself or redeem
itself. The value of land and its prod
uct and the labor to produce it is an i'm.
portant question, but it is a small mat
ter when there is no law, nor peace.
nor safety, nor liberty. If tobacco
should fetch a dollar a pound who
would want to raise it in such a COM
munity? There is no question as to the
origin of the trouble or the jutsice of
the revolt against the Infamous combi-
nation which sought to rob the tobacco
raiser of his honest dues by forcing him
to accept starvation prices for a crop
which required more labor to produce
than any other. There can be no COM
plant of an organization to free the
grower from such intolerable condi-
tions. But when the growers become
murderers and assassins and house
burners they will eventually find their
last condition worse then the first.

The Railroad Land Grants.
New York World.)

In special report Acknowledgement
Bonaparte charges that the Oregon and
California Railroad, a Hartman COM
pany, has violated the terms of the
grant by which it received millions of
acres from the Government as a SUBJ
sidy. Suit is threatened to have the
railroads title forfeited and the lands
restored to the public domain. This
action opens the whole question of the
Governments land grants to Pacific
railroads. During and after the Civil
war Congress voted over $50, 900, 900, 27
times as large an area as Massachu-
sets, to toward the building chiefly of
transcontinental lines. On the whole
the IMMIGRANTS system has worked
great harm. In some cases the grants
included alternate section for2O miles on
both sides of the railroad across entire
territories, to which were added alter
nate sections within further ten-nile
idemnity strip on each side to make up
for land previously taken. This with
drew from settlement half of sixty
mile strip clear across such territories
as New Mexico and Arizona. Much of
this land was virtually valueless, even
for grazing, because of the absence of
water. To escape local taxation, the
railroads seldom took title until they
had found purchasers. The nominal
price of 81. so an acre fixed by the Gov
eminent was disregarded by the rail-
roads in their sales. The railroad tim
Der land was usually stripped bare, and
often the adjoining Government Sec
lions. The coal land was sometimes
held and worked by railroads through
mining companies of their own. Oft
times large number of railroad Sec
tons extending for many miles were
sold to one cattleman or sheepman, who /
shut out other ranchmen from Govern
ment land inclosed by his own.

There are q number Of believers in

US to admit this isn't clear. About the

The Senate's FaIstaff.
New York SUM-

Besides the harm that daily lickings
may be to the licked, thousands of
newspaper readers have a right to pro-
test against the conduct of the men of
Arkansas. 1t is tiresome to be Obliged
to read every day that Senator Davis
has been trounced once more. There
is no novelty, nothing new, in the op-
GRAFTON. Reports of encounters in
which he participates are unpicturesoue
fiat and Improbable. There is no mys-
terry in them. All are the same. Jeff
issues bad language, receives a blow
and runs away.
Arkansas gentlemen should stop
picking on Senator Davis. If thew
want to fight they should select oppon-
ents of their own class. If they want
to demonstrate their superiority to him
they should challenge him to a foot

the horizon of opportunity is widening.
The actual growth of Virginia in manu-
featuring and commercial lines has
been especially brought to the attep-
ton of The Times Dispatch through
the editor of its Industrial Section.
The reports of what is being done are
SO good that at the risk of appearing to
recount too boldly our own achieve
ments. we feel it proper to mention
what has been brought to our attention.
Within recent months there have been
started at Waverly three nail keg fac
tories, which came to Virginia because
the lumber supplies have been exhausted
IN Pennsylvania. These factories are
under contract with the American Steel
and Wire Company, and keep steadily
employed ITO men. Chase City has
opened a factory for making butter
dishes and fruit-baskets. Emporia has
started large factory for box shocks,
the entire output of which is taken by
the Standard Oil Company. South Bos-
ton has started new laundry. Ken
bridge, which was recently Tinkling.

houses, the capital for which has been
subscribed entirely in Richmond and
Danville. Petersburg has new $50. 900
shoe factory and SIS, 600 cold-storage
plant Boykins is in a fair way~of
opening cotton manufacturing plant
and large brick works. The striking
fact in all of these DEVELOPMENTS ia
that the money and the men have. with
the exception of the factories in Wav-
erly, come entirely from Virginia.
Capital and Virginia labor have COM
blned to use their mutual resources for
the development and upbuilding of
their Commonwealth.
No longer is it the cry, GO West

East. The climatic and social advan-
tages of Virginia have never been ques-
toned. Apparently the commercial and
manufacturing opportunities of Vir.
GINA are also to be put beyond the
chance of cavil.-Richmond Times-Dis-
patch.
And still our esteemed Richmond
contemporary continues to call for a
change in the industrial policy that has
brought such a wonderful change in
manufacturing and social conditions in
Virginia and to the entire South. Why
continue to uphold its doctrine of free
trade and assail the policy of protection?
VIII not such an object lesson as we
have in Virginia satisfy men of even
ordinary business sense as to the rela-
tive merits of Protection and Free
Trade. Tariff for revenue only would
stop every one of the new manufactur-
ing enterprises the Times-Dispatch

The American Bar.
Washington Post.)

The history of the American bar has
been glorious one. From the begin
ing of our national life the LAWYER has
always been upon the heights of its
citizenship. The scores of noble names
that appear In our national calendar
bear testimony to the high character.
the wide capacity, and the unselfish aims
OF our lawyers. The majority of our
foremost statesmen found their train
ing at the bar, but even to that rank
and file of the legal profession which
never sought or accepted public life our
national debt of appreciation is prob
ably greater than that we owe to the
men of any other walk of life. II
seems almost Unnecessary, then in the
hght OF such past, for the American
Bar Association to formulate rules
OF ethics for its members to bind them
selves to observe at this late dav. Rut
the American bar has always been pro
gressive; it has constantly aimed TO
reach higher moral and professional
planes, and like the medical profession.
has never ceased its efforts toward self
Improvement. AS in all other walks
OF life so in other ranks of the law NAV
he found men whose deeds do not ac-
cord with the high plane of the noble
calling which they serve; it is toward
the elimination of the shyster and trick
ster and the legal leech who fattens upon
MS victims helplessness that this pro-
Jected code of ethics is aimed.
