Rear Admiral Sperry presents his feet of bat
ueships for the review Of President Roosevelt
on Washington's Birthday he will have to his
credit of the notable cruises of naval his
tory.
. One Of the attractions of a sailors life is the
opportunity to the world In this respect
the sailors on the fleet which sailed from Hamp-
ton Roads last December, under the command
of Rear Admiral Evans, have been especially
fortunate. Before their return they will have
seen large proportion of the chief ports OF the
historical trade routes of the world.
Their first pert after leaving San Francisco
will be Honolulu the modest city of forty thou
sand souls which has been described the
Crossroads OF the Pacific" 1t is expected that
the fleet will enter the crescent-shaped harbor
on Thursday, July 1G.
The members Of the crew off duty when the
fleet steams past Koko Point and rounds Dia-
mond Head will be treated to a scene of sensu-
Gus charm. Behind the city nesting at the
waters edge rise sharply defined mountains of
volcanic origin. At the right the jagged outline
Of Diamond Head stands out boldly and markedly.
New-York tribune., 1908-07-05

Soft clouds float across the sky, their shadows
floating lightly over the languorous. tropical
landscape. The very scene is hospitable and
offers welcome, and the temperature, rarely
rising above IS falling below 60 degrees, as
sures one, if there were any doubt about it, that
this mid-Pacifc island of Oahu is one of the
paradises of the world.
As the vessels slowly steam along the narrow
but deep channel which gives entrance through
the coral reef to the crowded harbor the. United
States flag will be seen floating from the public
buildings furnishing ocular evidence of the
hemisphericaI sway OF Uncle Sam.
The welcome of people living where every
prospect pleases'-and only few of the streets
of Honolulu are below par-will be fully up to
the impression created by the scene. There will
be a cosmopolitan crowd on the pier to greet the
'jackies," shouting Aloha" Glove to you') in
the musical tongue of the Kanakas. There Will
be wreaths of flowers for throwing over the
heads of the Americans as they step on the pier
1t will be an offering of a music and flower low
ing people In the crowd will be the full bodied
and plump faced natives, Americans, Chinese,
japanese and Portuguese and mixtures of nearly
all of these races

VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA
FOR TAFT

1t was old Zach Chandler who said
"claim everything and keep on claim
ing it," and already Taft Clubs are
being organized in the Valley and Re-
publicans are saying we are ''going to
wheel Virginia into the Republican
column. And they will try. for his
Satanic majesty has little less audacity
than those same Republicans. The
thing is of course not likely. but it is a
good plan not to underrate the strength
of ones adversary. and If the voters of
the Old Commonwealth sit idly down
and assume that everything is going on
swimmingly and that it does not mat
ter whether one votes, or ''it's all
right anyhow" who can tell but that
an audacious boast may not turn out
the literal truth? Disgruntled you may
be, and dissatisfied at some things
about the party and the party's nomi-
nee. but tif Democracy was good enough
for your father it should be your natural
Inheritance as well. Don't be afraid to
be an old-fashioned Virginia Democrat.
And while you are at it stir up your ap-
athletic neighbor. What have you to dc
with party that brags about prosper.
ity and charges you $12 for a plough
made in Pennsylvania and which sells
the same plough in England for IS and
makes good profit at that =?

FLOAT ON WRECK OF HOUSE.

After floating on the wreck of their
home down the Red river 40 miles from
point near Bonham, Texas, to the
lower end Of Bowie county, George H..
burst, his wife and their six children
arrived in Little Rock last night. They
are going to Paducah, Ky.
burst, who is about 81 years old,
was timekeeper for the Illinois
Central Railway at Paducah, and was
also minister. He went to Texas
and rented strip of land about seven
miles east of Red river. On the night
of May Is he retired with his family as
usual. In the middle of the night he
was awakened by a rumbling noise and
saw that the yard was covered with
water. At first he thought it was
merely heavy rain. The water, how
ever, advanced on the house, and be-
fore he could do anything to save his
family the building was afoat. The
house fioated and before many hours
they were in the channel of the stream.
On the night of May 18th they were
rescued by a steamboat. burst said
that until his perilous journey he was
black-haired. His hair is now white.

POLL TAX RULING.
(Timea-Disnatchl

There was good deal of adverse
comment AROUND the State offices yes
terday concerning the action of the
State Supreme court at Wytheville in
refusing to reopen the poll tax cases,
from Norfolk city, in which it was re-
Gently decided that in order to qualify
TO vote a citizen must personally"
pay his taxes. This is construed to
mean that q man may not send check
to the treasurer, but that he must act
ually and physically present the amount
to the treasurer in person. This was
the effect of the original decision hand
ed down some months ago, which was
written by Judge Buchanan. ATTORNEY
General Anderson asked for rehearing
which the court refused.
1t is said that the practical workings
of the decision will be to disfranchise a
large number of business men, who
never personally" pay their taxes,
and to let in an unsatisfactory class
who will personally" pay if the mon
ey is placed in their hands by candi-
dates and party managers. The decis-
ion is not at all popular, and though it
is perhaps final, Democratic leaders say
it is capable of great abuse, and may
result in bringing about the very con-
ditiOns the court sought to prevent.

BURY THE HATCHET,
ONorfolk Lsdger-Dispach.l

People who allow the temper of polit-
ical campaign to sever friendships and
engender hatreds do great injustice
both to themselves and others. A
choice bit Of philosophy along this line
comes from Georgia, where a fierce
Gubernatorial contest has just ended.
The Waycross Herald suggests:
Don't get mad because | am for
Brown and you are for Smith. 1t NAV be
that after the full moon in June YOU
will want some of our fish bait, and il
may be that we will want TO borrow
your fishing pole, and then we'll give
you the bait and you'll lend US your
pole ale same"
Under the jocular exterior there is a
little sound. common sense and good
nature in the above. Political battles
come too often in this country for
neighbors and friends to cherish wounds,
and bear scars over their outcome.
A good square fighter feels the
bruises little. of course, but few
days and they are gone. and then with
out animosity the good loser smiles
upon the world, and harbors no resent
ments. The political opponents of one
contest are too apt to be comrades in
the next for any antagonisms, and even
if not they are all stockholders in the
community and the general welfare is
best subserved by lack of personal
hostilities.

him by Mr.. Bryan, and accepted, af-
fords him the opportunity of laying the
States hands on Mr.. Bryan before the
eyes of the assembled Democracy of
the nation, and the Governors friends
say he may be relied upon to do it in a

of Cabinet berth for the Governor, in
case of Democratic victory at the
