Governor swanson is Governor o
Virginia by virtue of the votes oil
Democrats, and to expect him 10 be
appointing Republicans 10 office is
asking altogether too much. Mr.. H.
NJ. Hughes, of Norfolk, may have
been most efficient and competent
director of William and Mary, and
valuable friend of the venerable
school Of learning, but his successor
is no doubt just as competent and Jusl
rs much Of a friend, and he enjoys the
invaluable advantage OF being "a
Democrat The time hasn't come
when we of the South can triile with
Republicanism. IL is no friend OF
ours and when it lifts a head il should
he hit. Our worthy contemporary,
the Norfolk Landmark, says "Mr
Hughes has the right To be a Repub-
lican.n And Governor Swanson has
the same right to appoint none but
Democrats TO Office. As well under
take to reason the salt from the sea as
the negro from Southern Republican
ism. All this talk about "a white
mans party is bosh. Gen. j. a.
Walker was a good citizen and gal
liant soldier, but he too was "a republi-
can, and Judge Rhea struck him two
deadly blows and in SO doing did good
service for his mother commonwealth.
AS long as there are "honcst and ca
pable" Democrats 10 be found, aud the
woods are full OF them" let our
Democratic governor appoint none
but Democrats to office. Mr.. Hughes
has chosen his political associates and
let him look TO them for place and
honor.

BY a recent decisioh of our Court OF
Appeals il would seem that the capi-

not by proxy. Now as this would
work injustice in many cases 1t may
not be the letter and spirit of the de
cision. The matter shOuld be clearly
understood, however. We cannot
understand that the tax payer Is not
allowed to send his check TO the treas

hardly have gone this far.

Why Troops Are Going West.

Washington.-Inquir at the War
Department into the report from
Omaha that arrangements are being
made for the mobilization of a large
part of the army on the Pacific coast
about the time Admiral Evans fleet
arrives there develops the fact that
all of the regular troop movements
now in contemplation are incident to
dispatch of certain regiments to the
Philippines to relieve soldiers who have
had their full term of service there
and are entitled to discharge.
Assistant Secretary Oliver has been
in correspondence with the governors
of many states and territories with a
view to the cooperation of the militia
with the regular army in an active pro
gram of joint drills and maneuvrcs. 1t
is known that several of these govern
ors already are in correspondence with
railroad transportation agencies rela-
tive to the movement of their militia
forces to the sites of the proposed
camps and IT is believed that this is
the foundation for the assumption that
large troop movements toward the Pa
ciiic coast are projected.

Employers May Bar Unions.

WashinEtOn.-Thc constitutlonality
OF the act of Congress OF June |. 1908,
prohibiting railroad companies en-
gagged in Interstate commerce from
discriminating against members OF
labor organizations in the matter of
employment was called into question
by the case OF William Adair vs.. the
United States, which was decided by
the Supreme Court OF the United States
Monday favorable to Adair. The Opin-
ion was by Justice Harlan and held
the law to be Tepugnant to the consIi-
tuition.
The court held that Adair, as mas
ter mechanic of the Louisville & Nash.
vile Railroad Company. had a right to
discharge an employe because he was
n member of Il labor organization just
as II was the employees right to quit
such employment because OF his mem
bcrship In such organization.
Such n course, the decision added,
might be unwise. but, regarded as II
mere matter OF right. there could be
no doubt. Congress could not under
the constitution authorize violation
OF contracts under the guise Of pro-
tecting interstate commerce.
Justice McKenna delivered a dis.
senting opinion favorable TO the law
in which he said the courts decision Is
along very narrow lines.
Justice Holmes also expressed the
opinion that the law should bo CON
strued as constitutional. He thought
that the right to make contracts had
been stretched to the limit by the
courts decision In this case. That
ConpresS had n right to so leElSlnte
as to encourage labor organizations
was another suggestion OF Justice
Holmes.

fore II was controlled.
All efforts to save the east main
building. in which the fire started.
and the box factory, were abandoned
within an hour after the flames were
discovered, and the firemen devoted
themselves to the work of saving the
other buildings.
The building in which the fire
started contained the canning depart
ment, the coolers, the dressing room,
the wholesale department, and killing
beds and tho contents supplied the
fire with fuel which made the flames
difficult to combat. The fire had
gained great headway before the fire
department arrived and the heat was
SO intense that it was impossible for
the firemen to make any progress in
checking It except to prevent us
spreading. The box factory in the rear
of the main building was entirely de-
stroyed, The flames also spread 10
the cattle chutes. many of which were
burned.
The other main building contains
the general Offices and the engine
room and much salvage from the
