ferent In Politics.
The Virginia Magazine of History
and Biography has IL number of let
ters by Roger Atkinson, Virginia
planter, who came from Cumberland,
England about 1850 and settled near
Petersburg. To his brother in-law,
Samuel Pleasant of Philadelphia, he
writes in October, 1914, concerning Vir-
ginia's recently appointed seven dele
gates to the first Philadelphia congress.
The spirit of the man is shrewd, but
obviously not reverential:

WILL CURE SORE FEET

On account OF the hundreds of in
quiries in regard to the salt water
treatment for the feet TO prevent them
from becoming sore when on long
walks Edward r. Weston, the veteran
walker. gives the following recipe:
Get a quantity Of common rock salt,
which can be bought at any grocery
or feed store. Dissolve a cupful Of
this in a quart OF boiling water. When
II has dissolved thoroughly add five
quarts of cold water Battle the feet
in this for about five minutes at night
before retiring. Dry them thoroughly
and then rinse in a solution of pure
alcohol and water IN half and half
quantities. Do not use wood alcohol
under any circumstances as Il is poi
sonous. Do not use the ordinary table
sale for the solution, as IL contains a
certain amount Of sodium, which Is apt
to give the feet a burning sensation.
Use the salt water solution cold, OF
at the same temperature as you have

Editorial Opinion
A Free For.All.


Dover Republican.
1t is stated that the rule OF county
rotation Will not bind the next Demo-
cratic State Convention. and that the
State nominations are. to go to the men
who can land the delegates, no matter
where they may hail from 1t is said the
party managers have decided that "avau.
ibliity" must take precedence over county
claims, and that "availibility' in this con-
nection means the man who can best
draw the warning factions Of the party
into some semblance Of a straight lineup
This plan will give our Democratic
brethren plenty Of fun and scrapping
among themselves at their primaries, no
matter what their fate at the general
election may be. II will also put the
workers of each county on their mettle
in a plum scramble, that will probably de-
feat and tear into smithereens that CEN
tralizng and lineup idea the leaders
claim to be aiming az.
There's a suspicion. however that the
party managers are advocating this OPEN
field idea more with a view Of getting rid
Of slated" candidates than anything
else. There's a feeling existing and pretty
widely spreading among the Democratic
workers who hunger for a revel in the
plum orchard, that a change in the
party's track team is sadly needed, If
even a fighting chance is TO be hoped for.
The openheld plan is looked on also as a
sure and effective scheme TO accomplish
this. BE this as It may there's a certainty
that in an open scramble most of the
rlng-boned and spawned steeds in the Of
fee hunting stable win be left at the
post. But all the same, the race will be
worth engaging grand stand seats for.

There is practical side of such exhibitions as

OF the largest industries in the country tits fol-
lowed by some as fad, but by most OF its de-
votes as a practical business enterprise which is
often very profitable At the exhibition the visit
ors have placed before them the best efforts OF
the breeders. They see what can be done in the
way Of raising poultry. BY this show many poul.
try raisers are led to improve their stock They
learn that it is no more expensive to breed com.
mon or mongrel stock than it is to breed the best
class Of fowls. And they will find that it pays in
the end. Consumers of poultry products arc
benefited by any Improvement in the stock A
wonderful advance has been made by Delaware
poultry men, and these shows are stimulus to

During the last year 1909 men were either
killed or injured in accidents on the Union Pa
cifc railroad, as compared with aoo7 during 1905.
The decrease in the number of accidents is at

which was adopted some time ago by the rail-
road company. Mr.. Harrimans FIVE thousand
miles OF railroads are protected by the improved
block service, and the value OF this system in
