The colored brother is no longer to be
a factor in the politics of the State and
notice to that effect has been served
upon him by the white Republicans.
They have not only refused to allow
him to participate in conventions look
ing to the Endorsement of candidate
for the Presidency, but have practically
said to him that he is not to have again
a place in the party councils or at the
pie counter. He is in the future just
to be allowed to shift for himself, be-
cause he does not pay up and vote as ne
used to do. and for the still further rea-
son that accessions from the Democratic
ranks are hoped for if the negro is ex-
cluded from participation in the affairs
of the Republican party. The colorec
brother, as it now looks, is permitted
only as an individual to vote with the
Republican party if he chooses to do So
He is not wanted" at present-he may
be later when the Republicans get nc
of the delusion that now controls them
that number of Democrats are ready
to affiliate with them.

Saturday, March 81, 1908.

In commenting on and applauding the
action of the General Assembly in pro-
viding a start for the long delayed cpl
lentic colony; the Norfolk Ledger-Dis-
patch says, it is unfortunate that the
late DR.. Geo. LeCato, so long senator
from Accomac lis no longer here to en-
Joy and assist in the preparation OF this
important work and to witness the
fruition of the seed he so industriously
scattered" The News-Leader concurs
in the views of that journal and says,
cit would be fitting memorial to him
and to his work to name the colony for
him." The suggestion that his name be
thus honored is gratifying, of course, to
the people he so long represented and
would, doubtless, have the approval OF
the people of the State generally If the
matter is properly presented to them.
Recognized as he is as the father of the
movement, we should not only be CRATE
full to him for 1.-THE good deeds that live
after him." but it is due to his memory
that his name be perpetuated in the way
that has been suggested by our con-
temporary.

An order nf the Board of Supervisors
at its last meeting looking to the en-
forcement of the law, (which forbids
throwing anything in the roads which
will be an abstraction to walkars or
riders" deserves not only to be heartily
commended by the people of the coun
ty but should have their active anC
earnest support. The public roads are
open to the use of all of its citizens bu
that right does not carry with it the
privilege, as many seem to think, u
make it the dumping ground of all the
filth and articles of no value to them IL
their possession. The road machine
managers, now that the matter is up t.
them, should see that the law is enforc
ed or be held to account for their delin
quency In the matter.

The Court of Appeals at Richmond,
Tuesday decided the case Of Tazewel
and others against Hartman, treasurer
of Norfolk. A petition sought to pre-
vent the treasurer from embracing III
his list of voters the names of such per-
sons as had not personally paid taxes IN
order to qualify for voting. The treas
urer demurred to the petition for a
mandamus, and the court sustained the
demurrer. The case was appealed by
the petitioners. The opinion of the
court is that each voter, under the con
stitution, must personally pay his own
taxes.
