LOVE OF SLAUGHTER.

Man seems about the only ami
NAL that kills for mere wanton-
ness. Other creatures kill to oct
food, to protect themselves or
their young, and occasionally a
weak male is killed by strong
er rival in anamour. But there
seems no killing to speak offrom
sheer love of slaughter save only
the lordly man, who really kills
from "a delight in the killing.
Your small boy will kill flies. and
a little further on kills mice, bee
ties, anything he can butcher:
gets him a gun and shoots birds.
rabbits-anything that has life.
Grown to be a big man he kills
great game, and wants to slaugh-
ter elephants, lions, tigers, and
such, not that he, is afraid of
these, or that he or anybody else
for that matter. is in danger of
the shy beasts, but simply and
solely for love of killing. There
was a time doubtless when man
was IN need of protection and
when he was obliged to defend
himself from savage creatures,
and further was in need of food.
game which he slaughtered, but
who kills game now for the lack ol
meat?
Surely this creature man is a
strange one. And, though the
suggestion is of almost devilish
sound, it looks very much to a
rejecting mind that man loves to
Kill his own speciesl Else, WHY
the soldiers ? What man goes
into a military life solely from
patriotism? Nay, does he not
long for war, that he may meet
the enemy and kill him?
Away down, deep down, man
seems quitea bit OF "a savage and
his high civilization only a We
neer. And woman? She loves a
strong man, a fighting man. else
why the fascination of q military
coat and delight in the fellow
who wears it. But we get into
deep water.

that the safest abode for him was

seemingly surprised that people did not

The Baltimore Sun says, edi-
torially:
The people of this country are just
beginning to recover from period of
industrial, financial and commercial de-
preston, due, primarily and measure
bly,, to the methods, rather than the
object in view, of the Roosevelt ad-
ministration in dealing with trust and
corporation problems.
Yet, in the face of the fact that
MIR. Taft's most distinctive
pledge is TO carry out the de-
structive policies of the Roose-
welt administration, the Sun adj
vocates another four years OF
that same rule. We believe the
mass of the voters of this land will
decide in November that they
had rather try a change of rule
1t cannot well be worse and it is
quite certain to be better, be-
cause of knowledge OF the iniqui-
tOus past.

GROWTH OF LANCASTER
COUNTY

Lancaster county had a popu-
lation in 1880 OF 6, 16O. In / 500
this had increased to 7.19I, a
gain OF OBJ in ten years. Its
population in 1900 was S.949.
These official figures show that
Lancaster has gained In popula-
ton in 30 years about 5000,
or gain, roughly speaking, of
fifty per cent. This Is the
more remarkable when 1t is con
sidered that there has been n
steady flow of young men from
this section who have sought
other fields OF labor, seeking for
tune in the nearby cities or going.
lar away to the West or else
where. Then, too, when it is con-
sidered that the emigration of
the negro population from the
Northern Neck to Maryland and
to the cities adjacent has de-
pleted the colored population
possibly one half, the clear cain
is striking. Lancaster has a
most fruitful soil, a splendid eli
mate and is today one of the
most promising fields for real
work in the State.
Enquiry indicates that therehas
been less departure of young men
from the county and from the
Northern Neck of late, and that
not a few active men have of
late come into this region, taking
up farming in earnest. There is
room for thousands more, and
no better place this side of para |
disc for a man who is not afraid |
OF having his hands horny and |
his skin sunburned.

1t begins to appear that we were not
far wrong In our belief that the T-D-ium
determined to give Bryan a nominal
support in order that it might more
effectually aid the cause of Republican,
ism. The Richmonders named as Rrvan
boilers are all doubtless converts made
by the Dispatch when it fought
Bryan so bitterly in 1896 and 1900. II
strikes US that our contemporary might
more efectualiy promote the candi-
dacy Of Mr.. Bryan, whom it is purport-
ing to support, by hunting up the
names Of a few Republicans who will
bolt Taft and vote for Bryan. -DanyilIe

SON at ChsncellorsyIlle.
On the night Of May End, 1863, Gen.
jackson, after being wounded, gave or
ders that the enemy must be attacked
early the next morning. For this pur
pose two of the finest brigades in the
Army Of Northern Virginia were select
ed to attack Hooker's entrenched DO
sition- They attacked but were speed
lily repuised. We knew that we would
soon De called upon to go where two of
the star brigades of the Second Corps
mad failed. We We're ordered from our
partially sheltered position to attack
the enemy. On this occasion our brig
ade was commanded by Col. Broken
Drough, and all of the regimental Off
GERS being out of place, our Senior Can
tam, IL. Z. Coles, was in command of the
auth Va. regiment which led the brig
ace We were soon in sight of Hook
er's fortified position. We marched
rapidly on under heavy fire from the
enemy, until we reached their works
when they fled in every direction under
a rafting fire from our rifles. At this
point the voice of Capt. Coles rang out
NOW is your time boys, give it to
them" Soon Gen. j. Z. B. Stuart
VINO was temporarily in command of
the Second Corps, came riding up. and
on reaching our line said, "Bullv for
Virginia. For this act of gallantrv
capt. Coles was made Major of the

The Baltimore Sun, after a
season OF judicious sitting on the
fence with it's face towards Taft
ism, now that Bryan has stated
his case, comes out fiatfooted for
Taft and Republicanism. It
seems to think that Mr.. BRYAN
has substituted the .'big club
for the "bigstick, and fears that
with him in the White House
things would go utterly to the
bad. Well, the dear old Sun has
been a good newspaper but s a
long time since it had any poll
tics-certainly any Democratic
politics. Commenting on the
Suns conversion to Taft the
New York Sun says:
The Baltimore Sun is a queer old
newspaper 1t has taken up with Re-
publican principles, policies and men
before. and is likely to do it again. In
1895 1T joined itself to the Lloyd
Lowndes movement, as a result of
which that futile but well meaning gem
tleman became Governor of the State
and Arthur P. German, the head of the
Democratic machine, put off his sena-
toriai toga and took six years holt
day. 1t has done many freakish things
at different times. 1t has PLAYED re-
forn and shifted at the heels of Charles
J. Bonaparte, and consorted with many
more or less Industrious mugwumps.

Mr.. BRYAN truly says chat
the Republican party is power
less to regenerate itself. This
is most true, and, in fact, revo-
buttons seldom, fever, comefrom
within a party. The history of
political struggles shows that as
a rule revolutions have come
from those who, compelled to
leave a party, attack and turn
it from its evil ways by means
from without, not from within.

The concensus of opinion
among railroad managers every

down. There seems no middle
ground. And the word has been

there shall be no cut in wages
