Vetoed for Special Purpose.

For several years the sentiment in
the Slate has been demanding that the
number of jurors which defendant in
criminal case may excuse should be
reduced from fifteen to ten or some
other number below fifteen. This SEN
timent was given expression in a very
strong paper read by Col. John R.
Alien, of Lexington, before the State
Bar Association at It's session at Win
chester in 1906.
The Legislature that has just ad-
journed passed such a bill reducing
these challenges from fifteen to ten,
but when the bill. reached Governor
Wilson he killed it by veto. The same
Legislature passed bill providing that
when a witness has once testified and
his testimony has been preserved and
the witness has died, the testimony
given by him before he died may be
read on subsequent trial of the case.
These both seem to be good meas
ures, but were both vetoed by Gov.
Wilson and in mis- veto he suggests
that they were passed for a special
purpose.
A great many people believe that he
vetoed them for special purpose, and
that if Caleb Power was not again to
be tried Gov. Wilson would not have
found these bills Objectionable.

Sound Democratic Talk.

The revision of the tariff by the en-
forced consent of both parties, will be
the chief questions at issue during the
campaign. The Republicans have
pretty generally explained their posi-
ton on it. Compared with it, the fol-
lowing views expressed for the Demo
cratic party by Judson Harmon appear
almost extreme in that they would
substitute action for compromise and
revision tor the benefit of the consumer
rather than for the trust:
Careful estimates show that for
every dollar the Government gets on
goods imported theImen favored by the
Dingley law get $40 in swollen profits
on their products.
''To make the injustice worse, the
cardinal principles of tariff taxes which
the Democrats have already followed,
have been disregarded.
THAT the amount of the tax should
depend on the iced of the Government,
economically administered.
THAT the chief burdens should be
laid on luxuries.
That duties should be according to
value only, and not so much for each
article, which makes the poor pay the
same for cheaper grades as the rich
pay for the higher trades.
in short, the amounts taken from
the people for established and success
full manufacture is by virtue of these
excessive tariffs are simply graft. Pro-
lection has become false pretense.
with this cunning scheme OF enrich
ing the few at the expense of the
many, so long in force, during period
of tremendous development, IS it any
wonder that there are swollen for
tunes while raises In wages and salar-
les are consumed by increased cost of
living? Are you surprised that wealth
should prey on the people and under
color of laws made in their name? Is
it not plain why the trusts have grown
and multiplied until they fill the sky?
''And now at last they are forced to
admit that these tariff impositions,
which breed swollen and predatory
wealth and trusts, should be cut down,
but not until after the election, and
then by their friends the same
friends who contrived them and have
fattened on them so long. This an
nouncement just before the election
recalls the creation of the department
of Mr.. Cortelyou just before the last
election, so that he could pass the hat
with effect, as, in spite of the bold de-
NAL of Judge Parker's charges, we
know now he did,"

Directly Responsible.

Governor Wilson's idea of upholding
the law seems to be to charge all the
night riding and lawlessness in the
State to the Burley Tobacco Society
and then proceed to crush the Burley
Society. He can see no violation OF
law in any other direction. He will
not see that acts of violence are the
work of an uncomfortable element for
which the methods of the trust is large
ly responsible, if not directly. This
turbulent element was brought into ex-
istence by the everlasting greed of the
trust in employing undetermined
methods to crush and humiliate the
growers and incite them to violence.

Dying Hard.

The tobacco trust is dying hard. In
its last struggles it has redoubled its
efforts TO throw discredit upon the Bur-
ley Society by publishing broadcast I'M
truthful reports of alleged night rider
outrages. Be calm, sit still in the
boat, and when fifteen more days have
passed the last gasping breath IF the
tobacco trust will have died away end
the terrible grasp of its honey fingers
on the farmers throat will relax and
fall beside the carcas, and all will be
free.

Baseball Trust.

Between 5000, 900 and 6, 600, 900 "offi-

American diamonds. The declared ad-
vance of rs cents on each ball this
year means, therefore, more than
81, $50. 900 increase to the handlers. The

In Naples there was 10 American

a French dentist. After a climb llp a

where Il huge bronze skeleton glared
at us with his unaeeing eyes. Rather
startled by such an apparition, we

induce him to name a price, and it was
only after some difficulty that we came
