SOME HERO WORSHIP.

A man named John G. Albert has
written little book fulsOmely lauda-
tory of the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
and somebody is distributing it. 1t is
full of funny things, real jokes at times,
though meant always to be serious. 1t
tells among great many other Won
derful things how the President metes
out "equal justice to the rich and the
poor,n but makes no mention OF how he
let his former cabinet officer, Paul
Morton, out of rebate trap in which
he had been fairly caught. 1t says,
ssJohn d. Rockefeller and other Stand
| ard Oil magnates could not now with
success carry on, in cynical scorn OF the
rights of the people, the outrageous and
oppressive operations which have made
their trust so powerful" With the eX-
ception of receiving rebates from rail-
roads the Standard Oil has changed
none of its methods so far as heard
from.
Mr. Albert further says: edward
III. Hartman would not dare to exploit
today another railroad property as he
did the Chicago and Alton" This is
mere assumption. Give MI. Hartman
chance and see. He has not suffered
from that exploitation further than
from the strain endured in carrying 2S
million dollars to bank. One thing we
suppose Mr.. Hartman might repeat.
He raised $3.50, 900 to help elect Theo-
dore Roosevelt president, giving ,OOC
himself. This he might do over again
with thanks. He will not be prosecut-
ed for any similar offense by Mr..
Roosevelt, unless Mr.. Hartman should
unwisely give it to the wrong candi-
date. We have heard of no prosecu-
ton forced by Mr.. Albert's hero OF that
crime, the crime of corrupting the bal
lot. We shall hear of none, though
such a crime is more. destructive of ma
tional integrity than all the rebating
ever done. But Rockefeller and Har-
riman are free today enjoying their
loot, if loot it be, to the fullest extent.

Disastrous Fire.

The manufacturing, tenement and re-
tail business section of Chelsea, Mass,
a suburb of Boston, was devastated by
fire Sunday. The flames spread over
more than one square mile of territory,
and leveled many Of the city's best
structures. Late that night four bodies
were taken from the ruins. The fire
started at 1910 a. m. and was not placed
under control until 10 o'clock that
night, Notwithstanding that half of the
Boston fire departments strength and
steamers from dozeu other cities and
towns went to the aid of the Chelsea
brigade. The loss up to 10 o'clock was
estimated at fully $13,0O0,0O0 About
800 families are homeless.

Mr.. Tucker Opens Champaign.

Hon. Harry st. George Tucker, form
ally announced his candidacy fol
Governor of Virginia in an address de.
livered at Leesburg on Monday before
alarge crowd He was introduced by
Mr.. John II. Alexander and given an
ovation.
He said that it was not his purpose
to discuss at this time the issues that
would be involved in the GubernatOrial
contest, but that at the proper time he
would meet them by public presenta-
ton of the views, that he would be OPP
posed by men of highimerit, that his
campaign would be conducted upon q
high plane, and in a manner that would
reflect no shadow of discredit upon his
opponents nor upon himself.
Mr.. Tucker referred briefly to the
four terms he served the Tenth Virginia
district in Congress, his earnest efforts
on the floor of the House to defeat the
Force bill; his voluntary retirement
from Congress, and his public record
generally, of which he,said he was not
ashamed, and which is to the people Of
this State an open book.
He spoke of his desire to become Gov
ernor of Virginia, but said the Office
had no attraction for him if to attain it
he had to conceal his honest convic-
lions as to what was for the best and
highest interests Of his native State, or
had to resort to methods discreditable
to himself or unfair to his opponents.

BEATEN AT HOME.

This weeks papers announce that
Judge George Gray Of Delaware, car
ried NEARLY ALL the precincts in his
State in the recent primary. If Judge
Gray cannot carry solidly his own
State, and so small State as that of
Delaware, what is the use of talking
further of him as a presidential posi-
bility? Mr.. Bryan beat him at some
points in his own State. Just as he
will do John johnson in portions of
Minnesota. He will beat Judson Har-
mon in some precincts in the State of
Ohio, and yet we are told that any one
Of these is stronger candidate than
MI. Bryan. A man is great fool who
credits these windy statements in the
face of the facts.

interesting entertainment was given at
Stuart's Draft, on the evening of April

Club, the play was Tony, the convict,
which was at times very pathetic. Every
member did beautifully, the large audi
ence showing appreciation by many
outbursts of applause. Mrs. John Nc
Chesney rendered several selections on
the piano, in her skilful manipulation
of that instrument. Also, additional
music was given, between acts by the
Stuart's Draft orchestra, which added
much to the evenings pleasure. The
play was given for laudable under
taking, that Of paying for the piano for
the school. Every actor did his or her
part excellently, and every one present
voiced the sentiment that it was one of
the best plays which has ever been at
this place, and agreed that is was a
decided success. Several persons from
distance came to see the play and
were amply paid for coming. The cast
of characters was as follows: To-
Warden-Wm. A. Harold. 2

THE PRIMARIES.

Our readers will see that Democratic
primary elections viii be held in all
the districts of the county on Saturday
the 3Oth of May for the purpose of
electing delegates TO the State conven-
ton at Roanoke. The Bryan men
should be out in force and see that none
but Bryan delegates are sent. This is
all the more important because an eff
fort is being made to carry Virginia
against Bryan. Kill the scheme IN

RAILROADING CHANGED.

Railroading asst was few years ago
has changed until now the social fea-
ture is gone. When the pass, the spec
ial train, the friendly party, or the
officers and employees excursion was
allowable, the life of the railroad Off
Ger or indeed employee, was full OF
pleasant features. The road is no long
er a piece of property that the owners
can do with as they please, indeed it
belongs to the State and National gov
ernments so effectually that the presi-
dent of the railroad and other officers
in high places can hardly pass any per-
sons over it except their family, and they
run risks of prosecution even in doing
this. Railroading has changed all Of
its social features, and its officers have
severe penal laws staring them in the
face all the time. These high officials
seem to have lost also in importance.
