Renisfratinn Before the Primary

The primary day is May Is, and the law requires the board of registrars to open their books on May 15 and Is, those days being the Friday and Satur- day that precede the Monday primary.
 The opinion rendered by Attorney General Garber pretty plainly gives the board of registrars power to register anyone on May 15 and IS who is en- titled to registration at all. Whoever is entitled to registration should therefore apply for it on May 15 or Is and no doubt he will be granted the right to vote. He certainly should be, for the real intent of the amendment which provides for the opening of books before each primary is to give every citizen who is not in default in poll taxes an opportunity to vote.
 Attorney General Garber says there is nothing to prevent a full registra- tion of otherwise qualified citizens, and every board of registration should strive to promote rather than to re- strict registration.

Sunday in Richmond.

"Richmond was so dry Sunday that it hardly knew itself" said L. R. Rouss of Baltimore "The Virginia capital is still a saloon town and will continue to be so, but a bill has just passed the leg islature which closes all bars, including those at the Westmoreland, the Common wealth, the Albemarle, and all other prominent clubs on Sunday. I left Rich mond Sunday at noon and 1t was abso- lutey impossible to get a glass of beer anywhere up to the time I took the train.
 "The Richmond saloons have been clos ing tight on Sunday for several years past, but this was the first time in the history of clubdom that club buffets were out of business My friends of the West moreland looked lonesome and they will be even more lonesome when the mint julep is ripe; but every fellow has made up his mind to get used to the new discipline.
 Richmond had a local option election about 20 years ago and the city went overwhelmingly wet. It would be the same way if there should be another contest. But the public generally is prety we'll agreed that strict Sunday closing is a good thing"

Emit In Alabama

The fruit trees of this state are load ed with blossoms, and those blossoms seem to know they have the work of two years to do, for last years crop was nipped at the outset by April frosts. If no frosts come this year the trees are in condition no doubt to pro- duce great crops.
 This is especially true of peaches, and peaches have become an export crop. Georgia hopes to ship away this year 5000 car loads of peaches and the Alabama orchards are good for 1000 more cars. The growers in neither state see no drawbacks in the outlook All however depends upon freedom from frosts in the next 30 days. March has thus far been mild month, but so 1t was in 1907. April was cold and frosty last year. Let us hope it will be warm and balmy this year, for then the growers and all the newspapers cannot kill the peach crop. No peach crop in the far south was ever killed in May The critical months are March and April, and thus far March has been extremely favorable in all re- SpectS

SECRETARY TAFT
 SPEAKS 0N NEGRO

New York March 16-Speakng before a representative Brooklyn audience at Plymouth church tonight, Secretary Taft expressed an optimistic conviction con- corning the future of the colored race in the United States. After presenting an array of statistics to show the progress of the American negro since the day Of freedom the Secretary declared that this growth in intellect, learning and in- quiry must continue. The fear of negro domination in the south, was he said, a nightmare of the past. With the ad- yantages of education and opportunity, the colored population would take its proper place in the political affairs of the nation.
 The occasion of the Secretary's speech was a meeting under the auspices Of the Armstrong association, and in the interests of the Hampden Institute or Virginia The historic edifice was crowd ed Only a handful of negroes was pres ent

State Funds and Judge Priichard

The issue between the supreme court of South Carolina and Judge Pritchard of the federal district court is pretty fully defined in the case of the dispensary fund of $800,000. Judge Pritchard has ordered the 31 banks that hold the dispensary fund belong. ing to the state of South Carolina not to pay out any moneys belonging to that fund. The supreme court of South Carolina says Judge Pritchard had no jurisdiction over the states moneys, and that his injunction af- lords no legal protection to the 31 banks. The supreme court granted a pre-emptory writ of mandamus to pe- titioners calling for portion of the dispensary fund and if Judge Pritch- ard does not speedily conform to the decision of the supreme court of South Carolina the writ will be issued and the state of South Carolina and Judge Pritchard will lock horns over the rich plum of sS00,000.
 The injunctions of Judge Pritchard keep the two Carolinas in hot water a good share of the time, but the more injunctions he issues the quicker the
 
 justed. It certainly needs 1t.

Biennial Sessions

Although the question of biennial sessions is to be decided in November, yet 1t seems to arouse little interest throughout the state. The four-year plan worked fairly well in Governor Jelks' administration, and some voters will perhaps say it should be given a longer trial.
 No doubt the chief objection to a change arises from the fact that under the proposed biennial plan governor might in the last half of his term be up against a hostile legislature. In other words, the governor and the leg islature would not be elected simulta- neously. If the plan goes into effect a governor for four years would be elected in 1910, and house of repre- sentatives for two years and one-half of the senate for two years and one half for four years. The governor would hold office until January, 1915. In 1912 new house would be elected for two years and the other half of the senate for four years.
 The objections to the plan consist in possible disagreements between the governor and the legislature, because they would not be elected at the same time on common issues. A clash be- tween the governor and the legislature would perhaps mean the free use of the veto power, and that is apt to lead to discord and friction.
 4ne truth seems to be that the Gov ernor should also be elected every sec ond year. This is the rule in many of the states, and it was the rule in this state down to 1901. Biennial legisla- lures really call for biennial gov ernors.
 The subject isN one that should be ciretully considersa It deserves much

$50000, and at Mobile, s5s9 GOO; for forti- fications at Honolulu, including placing a few additional mortars at Pearl har- bor. $1,100,000; for Notifications in the. Philippines, $1,49900O
 The following brief and incomplete comparisons give an idea of the way the war departments estimates were pruned in the committee.
 For the Philippines s6,4SS,000 was asked. This included $3,500,000 for the construction and fortifcation of an artificial island in Manila bay which was entirely disallowed and $700. 900 for fire control which was cut to S10O.- 000
 The department asked $3000 900 for seacoast cannon in the insular possess sions and is given $400, 900; for implace- ments in continental United States, $4,247,000 was asked and only $30o,U0 allowed; for fire control $4,685, 900 whic was cut to $270000; for supplying elec- tric current for battery and other uses, s1,000,000 cut to s100,00O.
 The department estimated s3,478 ,000 to be necessary for the purchase of new sites for batteries in the United States The committee decided that $100.000 would be sufficient For new search lights. $1,0O0,O00 was asked, the bill as revised allowed only $210,000. For the lining of easements in torpedo plants the sum of $464,964 was estimated; this was trimmed down to $175,000 Eight hundred thousand dollars was designed as necessary for the purchase of moun- tain, field and siege guns; the commit tee allowed only $300,000. For sea coast guns in continental United States the department wanted $2,6S0,- GOO, and got $273,000. For reserve am- intuition for sea coast guns $1,000,000, which was cut to $325,000. Two hundred thousand dollars was wanted Tor pur- chases and experiments with flying machines. This estimate was thrown out entirely, the committee deciding that the s54,000 balance on hand for that purpose, plus the 1000 regular allowance should be more than neces- sary to meet all department demands in this line for the present.

COMPLICATIONS
 BILL IS CUT DOWN

Washington March 16.-The fortnca- tions bill carrying total appropria- ton of $s,21O,611 instead of the sSs, 4S's4o asked for by the war department, was re- ported today to the House committee on appropriations by Chairman smith or the subcommittee on Notifications. Ine subcommittee felt that to recommend an appropriation of $SS,0OOOoO for forti- fications at this time would be an acton which might be construed by Japan as official declaration that the United States was preparing against war with that nation. The cutting down of the depart ment's estimates by $30,2 S34 means, among other things, that the committee has recommended practically nothing for continental United States and has appro- priated mainly for the Hawaiian and Philippine islands.
 The only points on continental United States appropriated for in the bill as re- vised by the committee are Deception Pass, in Puget sound; at Charleston, s. C.; Pensacola, Fla; Mobile, Ala, and various other points where expenditures are required for the installation of range finding apparatus.
 For the Hawaiian islands practically everything is allowed that was recom- mended by the Taft board, excepting the fortification of Pearl harbor.
 Provision is made for the fortifcation of Carabao island in Manila bay.
 The following are among the various projects the bill will cover:
 For range-finding (fre controD in con tinental United States, $270.00O; for guns and implements at Deception Pass, $573, 900; repairing storm damage at Charleston. s. C., s5S,000; at Pensacola,

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
St. Patricks Day.

This is St. Patriek's day and is widely observed on both sides of the Atlantic. In the cities and large towns in the United States the day used to be cele- brated by parades of the Irish societies, but street processlons have gradually gone out of fashion and banquets in the evening now form the usual mode of hon. bring St. Patriek's memory.
 "St. Patrick, as every ones knows, is the patron saint of Ireland,' said Hibernian. His baptismal name was Succat, which signifies brave in battle; but on his ordination to the priesthood he took the name Patrieius. His birth place was Bannavem Taberniae, which may probably be identified with Kirk patrick. near Glasgow, Scotland. He was born about S72; was captive and slave of the king of Dalaradia in Ireland from SSs to S95: escaped to Gaul and was there ordained priest and raised to eps- oopal rank; went to Ireland as a mis- sionary and died at Saul, near Strangford Lough, County Down, March 27, 465.
 Tt was at Saul that Patrick established his first church. When the zealous mis- sionary began his work Ireland was ragan but he brought about the conver- sion of the chiefs and evangelized nearly all the tribes, so that Irelands popular rame in subsequent centuries was the Island of the Saints Protestant as well as Catholic historians attribute to St. Patrick unfeigned piety and zeal for souls such as distinguished St. Paul.
 Making the day of St. Patriclks death a feast sacred to his memory is in accord ance with the rule of the church, which celebrates a triumphant death, rather than the day of birth into this world. An exception to this rule is found in the feast of John the Baptists birth lime 94"
