WARNING AGAINST TRICKERY.

1t will be well for a certain class of
politicians to remember that the per-
manent political forces of this State are
the forces of law and order, of decency.
of morality. These elements have the
will and the power to make themselves
felt. No devious devices and no polite
al trickery can gain anything more than
a mere temporary advantage. The
time for successful rascalitv in Virginia
politics has passed. Winchester Star.
If the permanent political forces of
this State are the forces of law and
order, of decency, of morality, these
forces must have been bound hand and
foot by another force, that of corrup-
ton and indecency. AS we read the
situation, the time for successful ras-
cality was never more propituous. The
Democrats have established an oil
garchy by the employment of tricks
and devices; and the Democratic party
of Virginia is now controlled and led by
men who have been the most audacious
tricksters and corruptionists. The last
Legislature was completely dominated
by these men, and no Legislature has
ever assembled in this Commonwealth
that has equalled it in the way of dis
graceful legislation
If the forces of law and order in the
Virginia Democracy are not too COM
pletely chained to make themselves felt
they had better get to work now, before
it is too late. A certain coterie of DO
itical tricksters and rascals now have
charge of the party machinery and of
patronage that is being used all the
while to add to the strength of the ma
chine.
The Winchester Star will continue to
see successful rascality in Virginia
politics as long as the politics of the
State is controlled by certain present
leaders.

Mr.. Glass said that it enioyed the
unique distinction of having been signed
by every one of the Republican con-
ferees and not approved by a single one
of them.-Debate on Currency Bill.
1t was a sorry spectacle but not
unique. Barely six weeks ago the Dem
ocratic members of the House Commit
tee on Banking and Currency reported
the bill prepared by John Sharp Will
hams, though each and every one of
them was opposed to its provisions and
reserved the right to fight it on the
floor. Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
And our Norfolk contemporary might
have added, that Mr.. Glass was one of
the Democratic members of the House
Commute who signed and reported the
Williams currency bill. 1t might have
also stated that when the Williams bill
was offered in the House as substitute
for the Vreeland bill that only six Dem
ocrats were stupid or brave enough to
vote for the Williams bill, though Mr..
Bryan had pronounced it the best cur
rency measure that had been presented
to Congress. Even the bill presented
by Senator Bailey. the ablest man the
Democrats have in Congress, was treat
ed with scorn by the Democratic press,
and was not considered intelligent
enough to provoke a debate in the Sen
ate. This, however, is the way the
Democrats do. They are incapable of
devising any financial scheme or policy
that will meet the approval of the finan-
cial world, but presume to criticise and
assail every economic and financial
scheme or policy that the Republicans
originate and offer.

A Reasonable Inference.

A little girls papa had been-very i'll
with appendicitis and had lain for many
days in the darkened room after the
doctors had come and removed his ap-
pendix. The little girl had been told
to be very quiet and very good, with
the promise that she should go in to see
her papa at che earliest possible mo-
ment. At last she was permitted a
brief interview. She stood perfectly
still, gazing at her father with loving
eyes, but when the nurse came to take
her away she held back moment.

American Cities Sixty Years Aue.

The growth of American cities is I'M
parallel in the history of the world.
Already half a million are embraced
within the limits and suburbs of New
York; and nearly four hundred thousand
in that of Philadelphia. New Orleans
contains about one hundred and fifty;
Boston, one hundred and thirty; and
Baltimore, one hundred and five thous-
and inhabitants.
The second child born in Cincinnsti,
1t is said, is still living, and has not
reached the middle age of life. The
city has population of more than one
hundred thousand.
The population of st. Louis was one
thousand six hundred in 1910; sixteen
thousand in 1910; forty thousand in
1S45; and is now probably not less than
sixty thousand.
Buffalo contained two thousand four
hundred and twelve in 1925; in 1876,
twenty-nine thousand and seventy
three; and now contains about forty
FIVE thousand. In 1928, the population
of Lowell was three thousand five hun
dred and thirty-two; it is now more
than thirty thousand.
Chicago, place scarcely known on
the latest maps, has already reached a
population of eighteen thousand; and
Milwaukee, of still more recent origin.
Is rivaling it in its growth and popula-
tion.-The Silver Standard, 1S47.

quickly change all of these depressing

won't bring you back to full health in a
day or two, but it will do enough in 48
hours to satisfy you that the remedy is
reaching that tired spot. Druggists
everywhere are advising its use as a
splendid and prompt general tonic. 1t
gives more vim and more spirit to the
spoonful than any other known nerve or
constitutional tonic. 1t sharpens fail
ing appetite, aids digestion, frees slug
glish livers and kidneys, and brings new
life, strength and ambition. Test it a
few days and be convinced.

Sixtlelh Congress- First Session.
philadelphia Press.)


Though comparatively little has been
completed at the first session of the
present Congress, it by no means fol-
lows that it will rank in history as a do
nothing Congress. Much was proposed,
much was attempted and progress was
made on many measures of Importance
that will be in shape for final disposition
at the next session. A Congress must
be judged by its completed record, and
the full record of the Sixtieth Congress
will not be made up until March 4th
next
There were several reasons for the
comparative inaction of Congress. The
impending Presidential campaign pre-
disposed the majority party to raise no
new issue and make no fresh record
that might be used against it in the
coming campaign, before the people I'M
derstood the matter fairly. Expert
ence has taught this lesson, and both
politicians and statemen have learned
that it is wise to heed it. The Fifty
ninth Congress did much, and there is a
natural and strong disposition to let the
country have time to digest and assimi-
late this legislation before piling other
important legislation on top of it.
The policies that the President wished
to have embodied in laws at this session
are, in the main, wise and just, and the
greater part of them will no doubt be
adopted in time, but most public men
cannot easily keep up with the Presi-
dents pace. They want a breathing
spell between the adoption of impor-
tant and far-reaching reforms. Some
of the measures urged by the President
go over to the next session; others will
wait until public opinion, as reflected by
Congress, catches up to them; others
will be adopted in modified form, and a
portion, no doubt, will fail altogether.
A few were adopted and others adopted
IN part. 1t is impossible for anyone so
prolific in suggestion as President
Roosevelt to realize all his aspirations.
The appropriations of the session
have swollen to a portentous total.
They were made for expenditures
which, for the most part, majority of
both parties deemed necessary and
wise. Unhappily, they are coincident
with a period of shrinking revenue and
the threatened deficit places the domi-
nant party on the defensive. This is
the price of responsibility. While both
parties joined in swelling the appropria-
tons to the great total reached, the
majority party alone will be called upon
to justify it.
The government of our growing and
expanding country becomes yearly in
creasingly expensive in its administra-
ton. AS population invades the unoc-
cupied area, as we acquire new posses
sions and assume new responsibilities,
the necessary expense of the Govern
ment increases with it. While it is
easy to criticise the total, it is not at |
all easy to show how it could have been
very greatly reduced without leaving
some public need or just demand un-
provided for. In six months Congress
will convene again and can then legis-
elate with clear knowledge of the full
effect of this sessions appropriations.

The Writing Trade.
Louisville Courier-Journal.


The trade of writing as well as the
profession of letters, is much more
highly paid in the twentieth century
than ever before in the history of the
world, and the rewards for both medi-
ocrity and genius promise to be larger
in the future than they are in the pres
ent- AS the captains of industry have
brought to highly specialized condi-
ton the market for brains that spell
achievement in the various fields of in
dustrial enterprise, the publishers have
specialized the market for brains that
produce anything that the ever-widen-
ing public will read. Here is a market
Tor blank verse poetry, and there a
hole-in-the-wall where the dramatist
may submit his wares to purchasers
who may make him famous in night
and rich in twelvemonth, and who are
sufficiently hard driven by competition
to keep keen,eye peeled for whatever
bids fair to touch the popular taste.
The commercialization of writing may

of endeavor to write folk of every

Mark Twain's earnings amount to

century or few centuries ago. George
