THE POST FALLS INTO A COM
MON ERROR.

WIN eVUSVs
Falling into an error which has be-
come common since Mr.. Taft has
been at Hot Springs. The Washing
ton Post IL out with an editorial pro-
claiming that the Republican senti-
ment in Virginia is growing. The ar
ticle Ia headed "Virglnias New Poll.
tics" and the writer declares that
while Virginia Is not likely to make
q change now. Republicanism is
stronger here this year than ever
before, and that. personally, Judge
Taft ia a more popular man in the
Old Dominion than Mr.. Bryan.
About q week ago the Richmond
Times Diapatch called attention to
the fact that several Of the Repub-
lican papers are taking it for granted
that because Judge Taft Is receiv-
ing hospitable reception in Virginia,
the Republican party In the State Is
growing stronger. The Times-Dis-
patch wisely advised the G. o. P. or
gans to build no hopes on this theory.
reminding them that Virginia Is al
ways hospitable, but that the hospi-
tally does not extend to the voting
booth.
II is not surprising that some OF
the papers in distant cities fall into
this error. The special correspond
snts have been splendid press agents
for the Republican candidate and
have not failed to dwell upon the
cordial attitude Of yirginians toward
their distinguished guest. The Post,
however, is near at home and should
be better informed. The Post should
know that while the practical elm
ination Of the negro from politics In
the. State has done much toward
keeping out the bitterness and hatred
With which . majority Of Virgintans
have felt and displayed toward Re-
pablseanism, the Republican party Is
% far from carrying Virginia today
as II has been at any time since the
Democratic pfty wrested control
from the carpe;baggers and negroes.
The people Of the Old Dominion
know who eliminated the negro from
politics and Why the Republican
party In Virginia Is now called a
white mans party. They know that
the Republican party here is n white
mans party because the Democrats
have adopted a constitution which
keeps negroes away from the polls
and makes them useless TO their
former friends and allies. They
know that . negro was never shut
cot Of Q Republican convention or
mass meeting until the Democrats
rendered the negro poweriess In
politics. And they know that ia
spite OF the white mans party" cry.

Pure honcy-one of the most vara BILE

often fiji their coils with molasscs. honey
dew or the Juices of fruits; indeed. they
almost always gather varying amounts
of the oxidation of plants other than
nectar What then is "purc" honey? Says
n writer in the London Lancet;
"Chcmically considered. the ideal honey
is A concentrated solution of invert SUI

equal proportions, with traces of formic
acid. heterogeneous bodies. dextrim and
other organic substances. Owing to the

found in attempting to set up suita BILE
standard % purity for honey as found in
commerce The difficulty Is increased by
the common pratice of artticially feeding
bees and by the addition of adulerants.
The historical and literary associations
OF honey and its value as a food and a
