VIRGINIA LAWYER FOR TAFT

Hot SPRINGS, Va, August 5th.-Wynd.
ham R. Meredith, of Richmond, Va, the
president Of the Virginia State Bar Asso-
citation, and a prominent and lifelong
Democrat, came out last night in an inter.
view declaring that he would vote for
Judge William H. Taft for president this
fall against William ]. Bryan.
81 have never voted for Mr.. Byran, and
l shall not vote for him this year." said
Mr.. Meredith. 'There are two threaten
ing dangers in the country. The one is
plutocratic Cannonism and the other is
radical Organism; therefore there is no
Democratic ticket to vote. Judge Taft
stands for the enforcement OF the Roose-
welt policies, most, if not all, of which
have had the heartyapproval of all think
ing men in the South, as well as in every
other section of the country, and he will
enforce them within the law and not out
side the constitutional government, as
has been charged against the President by
his enemies"
Mr.. Meredith appeared rather enthus.
iastic over his announcement, though he
declared that he did not expect to take
an active part in the Republican campaign
this fall.

ANOTHER STAR IN OUR FLAG

A new star came into the blue
field of the American flag on the
Fourth of July. 1t is a very in.
teresting provision of an act OF
Congress in 1918 that: "On the
admission of a new state into The
Union one star shall be added to
the flag of the Union and such
addition shall take effect on the
fourth day of July next succeed.
ing such admission" Oklahoma
became a state in the Union No.
vember 10th, 1907, so since the
Fourth inst. the star of Oklahoma
has shone as the forty-sixth in
the official flag of our country,
This addition does not alter the
order Of the stars on our flag.
1t only adds one to the seven in
the lower line. The forty.six
stars therefore rest on a blue field
IN SIX rows, the first, third fourth
andsixth rows having eight stars,
and the second and fifth rows
seven stars each. In the first
and original American flag there
were thirteen stars and thirteen
alternating stripes of red, white
and blue to represent the original
thirteen states.

POLITICS MOVING

With the general belief that Simeon s
PennewiIl will be nominated as governor
and William H. Heald for Congress or
the Republican ticket attention is being
called to the nomination for attorney
general and with the positive declination
of Robert G. Houston OF Georgetown, moi
to be candidate for that position, it is
generally conceded that Daniel o. Hast.
ings, the present deputy attorney-general
will have good chance to be the nomi-
nee.
Friends of Mr.. Hastings stated Thurs
day that he would have an almost solid
delegation from this county with a good
majority in Sussex, but they acknowledge
they will have strong fight in Kent, where
Frank II. Davis is the candidate.
From now on the Hastings boomers
will make fight for the nomination and
it is thought they will be successful. MIR.
Hastings has proved himself eminentIy
capable to hold the position, as he has
been a good ally to Attorney General
Robert II. Richards.

THE WASTE BASKET

If some day the newspaper man
should print the contents of his
waste basket there would proc
ably be a riot. There would GER
tainly be trouble in many homes,
arrests in some direction, shot
guns in others, trouble all around.
But the patron never sees the
waste basket. He only glances
at the printed pages, complains
if one letter in fifty is upside
down, growls his disappointment
if one name in five hundred has
happened to go wrong, kicks be-
cause his communication, signed
'Tax Payer, has been condensed
into respectable English, frowns
because the editor didn't take his
advice about publicly warning
his neighbor against throwing
more rubbish in the alley, and is
generally disgruntled. He knows
his share of the waste basket,
but if he could have one look at
the contributions made to that re-
ceptacle by his neighbors and
friends, he would thank God for
the existence of a man with suffi-
cient intelligence and courage not
to print all he knows, and to tenn
per even that which he does
print.

MUST STUDY HIS LAND

Some say that rents are too
high, that land values are too
high, and that there is no money
in farming. 1t is true to a GER
tain extent that money is not
piled up so rapidly by the agri.
culturist now as in the past, but
there are good and sufficient rea-
sons therefor. The day has gone
byw hen the seed can be sown
and the development ola bountiful
crop left in a great measure to
nature. The day has come, and
sometime ago, that the farmer
must study his land as does the
merchant his stock of goods, as
does the manufacturer his ma.
chinery. Our land here is rich
and fertile, but it must be care
fully looked after or shortly our
farmers will abandon it as "killed
out" when the fact will be that
it is only tired of poor tilling.
When our farmers look after
their land-carefully studying
its adaptation, weigh carefully
their stock and feed and get the
best possible results from the
combination-then will land pay |
a high rate of interest on a value
of 800 or even more per acre.

TUE GUARANTEE RANK LAW

The democratic idea OF a bank
guarantee law is superior to a postal
savings bank for the simple reason
that II would bring all national banks
under the requirements OF the act
and state banks would be forced to
adopt the same plan or so out OF
business. The law would result In
every banking institution In the
country being brought under the
plan, while the postal savings bank
simply furnishes those who desire to
deposit money In a safe
place an opportunity to do
so. Ii gives no protection to the
business men who must use the banks
and would be compelled to continue
their use even under a postal saw
lngs bank law. Protect all deposit
ters In every bank and there will
be no hiding OF money In old cans
and burying II when a furry strikes
the country. II would be the means
OF making the effects Of panic very
lightly felt.

JAPANESE AT SEATTLE.

More complete details of why the
japanese of Seattle have withdrawn
their children from the public
schools will be awaited with much
interest.
There are two possibilities: Either
the japanese children have found 1t
unpleasant at the public schools ON
account of outcroppingd of racial
prejudice, or the Japanese are dis
covering that the influence of the
American public SCHOOL is to make
their children more American and
less japanese.
Seattle Is one of the cities of the
Coast that has been represented as
friendly to the japanese. 1t has
been quite unlike San Francisco, and
many of its petitions and memorials
have been favorable to the japanese
residents. Consequently 1t is hard to
believe that these children have beer
forced out.
1t Is very apparent that while the
japanese are very jealous Of the rec
ognition of the rights and privileges
granted in the public schools-and
properly so--they are also very care
full that the children shall receive a
complete course of japanese instruc-
ton from japanese instructors. The
purpose must be to hold the children
loyal to their native country. The
large number of japanese private
schools in this Territory is ample ev-
idence Of this.
1t is unfortunate that any action
should be taken that will make the
barriers OF prejudice more perma-
nent. The American public school
will Americanize the children of any
race or nation II given an even
chance.
