THE JOINT DEBATE.
lFredericksburx Star.l

The Washington Post in approving
Judge Mann's refusal to have joint de-
bate with Mr.. Tucker, has this to say:
Nothing comes of it but fac
tional bitterness. Judge Mann ia
right. The joint debate affords both
participants an opportunity for pictur-
esgue billingsgate, but it has no other
excuse for being" To all of which we
cordially give our assent. We have
long since come TO the conclusion that
the joint debate is of no value in max
ing or influencing the voters. Personal
invective and abuse. sarcasm and sa-
tire. the doublehead joke are all indulg-
ed In to make the other fellow feel
small. There is little argument and
less sense in it. All this applies to the
debaters who represent different politi-
cal parties how much stronger and more
does it apply where both of the debaters
are of the same political party, as il
the case with Mann and Tucker. These
joint debates by men Of the same DO
litical faith contending for the nomina
ton by the party primary are harmfu
to the best interest and welfare of tn.
party itself.
Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1909-05-28
EVEN so.

Judge Mann has more to contend with
in the correspondents who furnish news
to certain Anti-Mann newspapers in the
state than ne has in Mr.. Tucker HIM
self, or in the editorial columns of the
same newspapers. Many of the letters
Of these correspondents are SO obviously
biased and unfair that the language and
treatment do not comport with the
news they are supposed to record. The
motive is transparent in its purpose to
injure Judge Mann. and intelligent and
fair-minded readers will accept them
with many grains of allowance. On the
frailest and most unsubstantial foun-
dation of fact, these correspondents
erect a superstructure of invention,
suggestion and false inference, and the
gullibility of the public is relied on to
accept it as the truth.
Concerning the speaking in Bath
county last Thursday, there was in the
correspondence describing it a great
display of headlines and a marked exag-
geration of language and style to convey
an impression detrimental to Judge
Mann's interests. But the matter in
the letters did not justify the method
of treatment, to say nothing or the
evasion of and the departure lfrom the
truth in the statement. The fact is,
as we are reliably informed, it was an
nounced on that occasion by Judge
Mann's friends that he was there ready
to accept the challenge to debate, which,
it had been announced with a great
flourish of trumpets, Mr.. Tucker would
send him. but which he did not send,
though he had previously announced
that he would do so. We are also re-
liably informed that Mr.. Tucker made
no such attack on Judge Mann as was
printed in some of the newspapers yes
terday.
We mention these circumstances, not
because they are intrinsically impor-
tant, for they are not. Judge Mann's
nomination is as sure as anything in the
future can be, and the devices of his
enemies to injure him are but boone
rangs to their inventors. We point
them out only that the public may fair
ly estimate them and that no one may
be annoyed or disturbed by them. =

lSA FARMERS TRUST NECESSARY,

The fact that a farmer or shipper to-
day stands better chance of getting
an honest return on his goods is mainly
owing to two causes which are quite
apart from a higher standard of COM
mercial morals on the street; compul-
sion. not conversion to a higher code,
has driven the average commission
merchant from the old line of undis-
guised fraud TO more refined and less
obvious methods of whipping the devil
around the stump" The causes which
have done most to bring about this
compulsory Improvement in the meth
DDS of commission merchants are organ
ization on the part of growers and
shippers, and the passage and enforce
ment of corrective legislation in the
various states. These agencies are
still in an almost infantile state of de-
velopment; they have gone far enough
to demonstrate the correctness of the
principle Of cooperation, but they are,
as yet, no match for the seasoned cum
ming and the trained resourcefulness OF
the crooked commission merchant, who
has taken postgraduate course in
the school of stacking the cards anc
loading the dice against the small ship

FISH AND OYSTER NOTES.

DR.. Wiley has promised another re-
port on the polluted oyster. Well, we
think we have had enough of DR.. Wiley.
He has doctored the poor bivalve to
death. When he gets through all that
will be necessary is to send for the un-
dertaker to bury the oyster business
The Oysterman.
A glance at the fish shops today
arouses the reflection that one could
have feasted with far more variety in
the middle ages. Where is now the
whale of yesteryear, that was roasted
and served on the spit, or boiled with
peas, the tongue and tail being the
choicest parts? The porpoise, too, was
royal dish. roasted whole and eaten
with mustard, when Henry VII waa
king, and so was the grampus or ses
wolf. The lamprey, after its one dra.
matte and regicidal performances, Seems
to have lost its popularity; and no
body nowadays is anxious to eat tho
limpet. Many fish, however, seem Il
have endured throughout the ages
such as the sprat and herring, eater
especially in lent; the oyster (officiall,
fish, cooked in wine for breakfast
and the anchovy, sternly anathemati
