VIRGINIA AIR LINE.

President L. y. Troy of the Virgin.
ia Air Line Railway, is quoted in a
report from Amherst. as saying that
track laying is progressing favorably,
rail having been laid half way from
Palmyra to Lindsay. and trains will
shortly be operated between those
points. The entire line from Lindsay
to Bremo is 80 miles long, and is to be
all completed by May 1st. The road
is being constructed with IS pound
rails, stone ballast. steel bridges and
with grades and curves so that any
traffic can be handled. 1t is expected
that considerable development will
take place in the country along the
road. as there are many valuable water
powers in that region.
There has been some gossip about
the possible extension of this road to
Danville, but nothing official has been
concerning such plan.

It's funny-this money,
We love it like honey;
The more that we get the more that we

Some gObble and waste it,
Some dull all their sense with their crav-

Ancient Fraud Exposed

Ancient Fraud Exposed
From Judge Harmon's Speech at Nash
Vile
just fifteen years ago the wolf was
at the door of Republican admins
tratlon. A large amount of bonds
were engraved and on the point of be-
ing issued. Then the Democrats took
charge. They found the bottom of
the Treasury staring at them and this
pile of nice new bonds all ready for
use. And as the troubles increased and
the crops failed and the income tax
was oVerthrown, the Democrats had
finally to father these bonds to main
tain the credit of the country.
Straightway. with the assurance
which only Republican politicians can
carry off. they laid everything to the
Democrats-hard times, bond issue,
and all. Then when conditions were
rapidly improving the Republicans
came back again, and at once set up
the claim that they had a monopoly of
good times and we're kindly letting
the country in on them.
Now, in spite of good crops. good
business, and good prospects, smash |
another panic. spreading loss and suff |
erlng everywhere, and. to many. ruin.
Issuing bonds in time of peace The
Democrats had to issue bonds to dis
charge duty imposed by law. and
'he Republicans are issuing interest
bearing bonds without authority-not
10 meet the needs of the government,
out just TO raise more money to deposit
n banks without interest.
All fraunds prove boomerangs at
asst.

AMERICAN WUMFN ARE
THE BEST IN THE WORLD
SO SAYS DR. FELIX ADLER IN LAND
ING THEIR HEAUTY AND SWEET
NESS

SO SA Us DIX FELIX ADLER IN LAND
ING THEIR HEAUTY AND SWEET.
NESS.
DR.. Felix Adler went to the front at
the champion eulogist of American
women. In his address before the
Ethical Culture Society in New York,
he classed them as above all others in
the world IN beauty. sweetness and ev
erythiDg else that goes to make the sex
attractive.
''InsensiblV." he said, they bring
to mind the Greek women, whose
physical projections and moral charm
have been sung by the greatest of the
ancient poets; they resemble the En-
glish types with which Shakespeare
people the stage, among whom l could
mention Imogen and Desdemona; and
We are at liberty to compare them with
the best of the women who made the
French salon famous but why com
pare at all ?
what makes the type unique? Just
the democracy, In combination with
the chlvalry Of our aristocratic ances
tors. l can't help fancying that it is
the blend of the Puritan and cavalier
that makes the perfection of American
womanhoOd. In short. we find q
chivalrous devotion to women in this
country.
1T was Bryce, believe, who told
this story, illustrating the difference
between the English and the American
woman: If an Englishman leaves his
keys on the roof, be orders his wife to
get them, while in our country the wo.
man does all the ordering
"Our women are our queens and yet
our equals, since all the professions are
open to them; and above all they are
free. Their womanly sweetness will
protect them whatever they go-in the
slums Of our great cities and In our
mining camps. In general, their inter
course with men ls natural, wholesome
and free.''
Enlarging upon the theory of equal.
ity, DR.. Adler said:
I'VE have the deeply imbedded idea
that in essentials human beings are
alike; that it is not true that some are
baked Of finer clay than others. There
Is no class system in the United States,

Gently saw, and counted 20 dead prai-
rie chickens on and alongside of one
wheat field of less than half a section,
together with a large number of
smaller birds, while careful search
failed to discover a single dead go
.pher, although many live ones were
in evidence. In other fields dead
chickens were seen, in one place sew
en- being counted around single go
pher mound. North Dakota has strin.
gent laws for the protection of birds
from wanton destruction, especially at
this season of the year, and maintains
an expensive army of game wardens
to enforce the laws, all of which is OF
little avail if few farmers in each
locality persist in the wholesale de.
struction of our feathered friend: in a
vain attempt to poison a few gophers.
If there is no law on our statute books
against the scattering of poison pro-
n,iscuously around, some such pro-
vision must be made as soon as
possible, or prairie chickens, meadow
larks and other birds will soon be-
come extinct in Ward county. Don't
kill the birds.
