'hat Matthews was lunatic, disbarred
by the Constitution from registering
and voting, and it was his plain duty
not to furnish his name to the electoral
boards in the Fifth District. judge
Saunders also knew these facts. and
while he claims to have protested
against the placing of the name Of
Matthews on the ballot, he ought TO
have followed that protest with the
proper legal action to prevent the Sec
rotary of the Commonwealth and the
electoral boards from doing unlawful
acts. He ought also to Rave let his On
ponent and the Republicans of his dis
trict know about the situation, so they
could have guarded against the compli-
Gated ticket, as Saunders and his
friends, with ample notice, were able
to do. That would have been fair. and
would to some extent relieved the
guilty knowledge of Saunders and his
party associates.
The excuse which the Secretary of
the Commonwealth and Judge Saun-
ders have offered for this unlawful pro-
ceeding is not to their credit.

ThEY ARE TO BLAME.

In its news columns the Richmond
Evening Journal of the 14th instant had
an article in which it claimed that D. O.
Eggleston, Secretary of the Common
wealth for Virginia, was not to blame
for the name of Matthews, a lunatic.
being printed on the official ballots in
the Fifth Congressional District. Both
Mr.. Eggleston and Judge Saunders, the
Democratic candidate, are to blame.
They had guilty knowledge of the fact
that man who was disqualified by the
Constitution of Virginia from holding
office was offering himself as a candi-
date for Congress in the Fifth District:
and the Secretary of the Commonwealth
sent his name to the electoral boards of
the respective counties in that district
to have it printed on the ballots. Judge
Saunders knew it would be done. but
his opponent, Mr.. Parsons, had no
knowledge of it, neither did any Repub-
lican in the Fifth District.
Mr.. Eggleston claims that under the
statute law he had no authority to med
die with the affair; but that he is COM
PEELED to furnish to electoral boards the
names of all and any persons, no matter
if they are disqualified from holding
Office, if such persons notify him of
their intention to become candidates, as
required by Act of the General Assem-
bly,, approved January 18th, 1904. The
Journal says:
MIR. Eggleston says that under the
strict law now in force, he would not
have authority to protest even against
the candidacy of a penitentiary con-
Wet"
This is very lame excuse for a very
reprehensible act, and Mr.. Eggleston is
placing the statute law above the or
ganic law. The statute under which
he claims to have acted and tries to JUS
tify his course meant by "Any person
who intends to be candidate for any
office" any person qualified to hold
office.
The Constitution of Virginia, Sec. %.
provides that idiots. insane persons,
'aupers, persons convicted of crime

Kansas City Star.

Kansas City Star.
Kansas City is awaiting itnpatientlv
the opportunity to welcome home the
young man who went forth four wears
ago to answer the call of the people of
Missouri to serve as it's attorney cener-
al, and who has been rewarded with the
highest gift of those same people be-
cause of his record for faithfulness
and efficiency. Mr.. Hadley will return
to his home city crowned with the lau-
rels OF magnificent political victory.
ana ms townsmen are proud and happy
at his success. He is the first Republi-
can elected to the governorship of Mis-
souri, In third of 4 century.
Herbert S. Hadley was born in Kan
sas. He is product Of that hardy and
rugged life which makes men, and with
the wholesome atmosphere of the Sun
Hover State he breathed the spirit of
accomplishment. Kansas has given the
world many splendid men, and the stamn
OF their useful activity is found in vari-
Gus high places. Among these is Her
pert Hadley, who merely stepped across
the state line to enter a career that has
been singularlv successful. Itwas onlv
80 years ago that Hadley was born. vet
great changes have taken place in that
short period. Kansas itself has deyeI-
oped nightly in material wealth and
culture. and Missouri has emerged from
the darkness of Bourbonism into the
bright light of progress.
The common schools of Kansas gave
Hadley his early education, and he was
graduated from the University of Kan
sas with class that numbered several
members who have become notable. IA
student Mr.. Hadley was always in
honorable place, but he sacrificed none
OF the social enjoyments of Lawrence
In his successful effort TO stand high in
his classes. He was highly popular
with his fellow-students, and early in
his college career he developed some of
those characteristics which afterward
contributed to his success as a political
leader and campaigner.
From the day he came to Kansas Citv
to practice law his rise has been con-
tlnuous. He first attracted attention
as political speaker, and afterward
began his public career as assistant
prosecuting attorney. He never lost an
Office he went after or was named for.
and when he was nominated for gov
ernor 1t was considered a desperate
chance for which he should not have en-
dangered his rather frail health. His
election brings much pleasure to the
good people of Kansas City who know
him for an honest capable young man.

COULD SIMPLIFY VIRGINIA BALLOT,

If Virginia had a sensible law on the
subject, it would not be necessary to
burden the official ballot with the names
of eighty-four electors, more or less.
The names Of the candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President would be suf-
ficient under the national law, and the
Legislature or the Governor could an
point electors to cast the vote of the
State according to the official returns
Norfolk Landmark.
The men who made our election and
suffrage laws did not intend them to he
sensible laws. The official ballot could
be made sensible and easily voted bv
the use of party emblems. The men
who forced the new constitution upon
the people refused to allow symbols to
appear upon the ballots or to let them
be given to the public by publication of
a sample before elections. 1t would be
a very easy thing to give the people
sensible law and honest ballot, but the
Machine Democrats do not want them.
and they are running things in Virginia.

Another Roosevelt Letter.
Lynchburg News.

Lyncnburg News.
Since the election President Roose-
welt has given out letter in response to
many communications received by him.
making inquiries about the religious he
lief of Mr.. Taft, President Roosevelt
did not respond to these letters during
the campaign, because not wishing to
bring such questions to the attention of
the voters, holding, as he does. that a
mans religious faith is anlaffair between
him and his Maker. The letter is well
considered, well expressed and will COM
mand widespread approval. Mr.. Roose-
welt contends that if a man is an able
statesman and a sound patriot he de-
serves the support of his fellow-citizens
without regard to his particular relir-
ious faith. He adverts to the fact that
IN his Cabinet may be found sitting side
by side Professionals, Catholics and'a Jew.
The particular letter to which he replies
asserts that the report to the effect that
Judge Taft is a Unitarian and his wife
and brother Catholics would ALLEVIATE
many voters. The President maintains
that such considerations ought to have
no influence at the ballot box, because
In this country a man is free to follow
his own judgement in religious matters.
and the constitution forbids the applica-
ton OF any religious test as a qualfica-
ton to office. Moreover good good citi-
zens are found in every church. and
among those who have no church con,
nections, as was the case with Abraham
Lincoln.
The President is right in his conten-
ton that the religious test should not be
applied to candidates for office. His
reasoning is strong and conclusive. The
Intrusion of religious questions in other
coutries has proved to be evil. In this
country for the first time in the history
of the world, church and State have
been entirely separated. Neither can
intrude into the province of the other.
The results have been peace, good will
and charity. Each man recognizes the
fact that other citizens have as good a
right to their opinions as he has to his
opinion, and therefore mutual federation
has taken the place Of bigotry and
persecution. The President denies that
Judge Taft's wife and brother are Cath
olics but says if they were, that fact |
ought not to have any effect upon the
voters 1t is true that Judge Taft is a
Unitarian, but so was President John
quincy Adams, and so is Edward Ever
ett Hale, the chaplain of the Senate, and
10 are many other good and patriotic
athens of the United States. The con-
'lusion is irresistible. The public has
nothing to do with a mans religious
aith. It's only concerned to know that
lie is an honest, upright, able. patriotic
itizen.

TARIFF REVISION.

Some of our Democratic contempor-
aries, the Richmond Times-Dispatch
among them, are already apprehensive
that the Republicans will not reform
the tariff to suit the Democratic idea
The Times-Dispatch, speaking on this
subject few days ago, said:
Some expectation has been express-
ed IN certain trustful quarters that the
Forthcoming revision Of the tariff bv a
Republican Congress would sound the
kneli of the Democratic party. A
wholesale and equitable reduction of
the schedules by Republicans, it is sub
united, would pluck the heart out of
the opposition. and leave it with moth
ing much in the way Of leg to stand
on. 1t happens, however, that sucb
hopes or fears are interesting solely for
academic debate. Republican revision.
IN any genuine and candid sense. is
ABOUT as much to be expected as is the
railing of the skies in the interest of
lark-catchers.
Our Richmond contemporary is partly
correct in its conclusions. The Repub-
iicans are not going to make the tariff
skies fall to amuse and crafty Demo-
cratic lark-catchers. If there is revis-
ION OF the tariff it will be simply read
Justed in accordance with the Republ-
can idea OF protection. The Republi-
cans never promised anything more and
they will do nothing less. The protect
i've principle, that has heretofore been
applied in the interests of all classes of
the people, will be strictly adhered to.
The agriculturists, manufacturers and
laborers have all been benefited bv il
and the voice of the American people
was emphatic in its approval at the
election on the 3rd. The Times-Dis-
patch claims that there are millions of
PLAN people who are deeply interest
ed in tariff revision and it asks: .'Would
1t not, rather, be instructive to learn
whether the plain people are satisfied. -
Who are the plain people? If our
contemporary means the farmers and
the workingmen who toll for living
and for the fortunes, small and large
they may accumulate, evidently thew
are satisfied. They have given the Re-
publican party vote of confidence.
and the results that have flowed from
that vote can only tend to enlarge their
respect for and confidence in the inter-
rlty of the party. The Times DISPATCH

danger that the Democratic party will

public man. The first suggestion made.
was that he should become a candidate
for U. S. Senator from his own State
Nebraska. But it was found that the
Legislature that was elected in that
State on the Bird o. November would
not elect Senator, but that the dutv
would devolve on the next Legislature.
That made the Senatorship too remote
and uncertain, so the first proposition
was dismissed.
Some of the more Jealous Bryanites
have expressed a determination to put
their champion in training for the Pres
idency IN 1912. That proposition. how
ever, is not meeting with much favor.
And, even if Mr. Bryan should approve
OF 1t, the opposition to his candidacy in
1912 would be so intense on the part of
the Democratic press and leaders that
he would hardly dare to be q candidate
IL has also been suggested that Mr.
Bryan be made president of the Ne
braska University or some other insti-
tuition of learning. That suggestion
died at its birth.
Now comes a suggestion from the
Rev French E. Oliver, an evangelist
who is holding revival meetings in Kan
sas. Mr.. Oliver says that Mr.. BRYAN
ought to become an evangelist, and pre-
diets that he would be the equal of the
Apostle Paul in that line.
As a sensationalist no doubt Mr..
Bryan would prove the equal of Paul
or any other man who has lived since
the days of the Apostle to the Gentiles
But before Mr.. Bryan can be again

Prince Of Peace" in all its purity he

cal Capitalization with such men as Tag
CERT Haskell, Murphy, Corners and
Watterson. These men he took into
his familiar political and social embrace
after he had pronounced them too un-
clean to have association with any one
who was clean. He accepted from
their hands the support of the immoral
elements of their respective States,
with the earnest hope that his ambition
might be gratifed, even at the expense
OF the gospel of righteousness which
he had previously SO earnestly preached.
From a sensational and financial
standpoint, Mr.. Bryan would make
evangelism a great success. He could
create a tremendous sensation If he
would start out as evangelist with
Mack for his manager, Haskell for his
treasurer, and Tom Taggert for his
gospel singer. Great crowds would
gather to hear him and see his asso-
ciates; and the money bags would be
filled with contributions from the
curious and deluded.
