GOOD ROADS AND Politics
MEETING AT ALEXANDRIA
COUNTY COURTHOUSE.
Judge Mann, Senator Daniel and
Other Well Known Virginians
to Speak on October 16.

Political and industrial will be the
nature of a meeting at Alexandra coun-
ty courthouse, Fort Myer Heights Va,
Monday, October Is.
Judge William II. Mann, democratic
candidate for governor; Senator Daniel
Representative Carln, State Engineer
Wilson, Good Roads Lecturer Lassiter
and other we'll known Virginians are
expected to speak.
The first part of the demonstration will
be devoted to advocacy of Judge Mann
for governor This will begin at noon
The first speech will probably be by
Judge Mann himself.
The good roads meeting will follow the
political speaking, and will begin ap-
proximately at O'Clock. There will be
nothing partisan about it, 1t is expect
ed that the traditional policy of the
republican party in favor OF pubic I'M
provements, without reference to party
interests, will bring a strong representa-
ton to the meeting.
The date for the good roads meeting
was determined upon by the committee
of which DR.. j. Taber Johnson is chair
man, at it's meeting this week. Messrs
Johnson, Torreyson, Wibirt and Mon
cure found, when they gathered pursuant
to the chairmans call, that 1t would be
impossible to get speakers and make
satisfactory arrangements lot IHccl-
ing this week, as originally proposed
They had word that one or two impor-
tant speakers proposed would be engaged
at every available date and one or two
others had not been reached. Therefore,
when it was stated that Judge Mann eX-
pected to hold a meeting at the court
house October Is, it was readily agreed
hat the time would be propitious for
presenting the good roads proposition.
B. D. Torreyson of the State Good
Roads Association and DR.. Johnson. as
chairman of the committee. will take
charge of the program for the roads
meeting and introduce the speakers.
The committee on resolutions. consist
ing of Messrs. Hume, Moncure and
Zachary, is expected to have PROPOSE
tons ready for discussion. Messrs.
Simms Ewing and other lawyers of the
county will. it is hoped. be prepared with
the legal points involved, so as to pre-
sent them at the outset and avoid loss of
time.
1t is probable also. because of the in
terest of Fairfax in the roads Of Alex
andria county as the approach to Wash
Ington, that r. Walton Moore and John
S. Barbour will be present to take part
in this preliminary. State Engineer Will
son will explain the practical working
under the state roads law, both in de-
tails of construction and of bond issue,
including control and expenditure of the
money.
Speeches other than by those specially
invited will be restricted
The formation of an Alexandria County
Good Roads Association will be the first
formal action Of the meeting. Member
ship is expected to be open to all resi-
dents of the county and practically with
out expense.

The After Dinner Nap.


From the Family Doctor.
There is much difference of opinion con-
corning the desirability of an after dinner
nap. Those who advocate 1t cite the ex-
ample Of animals; but these gorge them
selves with food whenever opportunity
offers and are heavy and drowsy in conse-
quence. a short rest is. however, differ
emf from Iethargic sleep and often ap-
pears to do good.
Brain work should certainly be forbid
den after dinner. The interval between
it and bedtime should be devoted to rec
reation and amusement. In the case of
elderly people short nap after a late
dinner often aids digestion. but as a gen.
eral rule 1t is better for such persons to
make their principal meal at pm. The
digestive powers Of most elderly people
are at low ebb in the evening.

STAKES LIFE on TOSS OF COIN
DAVID ELDRIDGE PERISHES IN
DEATH VALLEY.
Five Quarts Of Water and Burro for
Two-Winner Of Animal
Lives

GREENWATER, Cal. October l.
David Eldridge, son of B. Eldridge,
president of the National Sewing Ma
chine and Bicycle Company of Illinois,
is believed to have persisted in Death
valley, after having staked his life on
the toss of a coin with desert rat,
known as the "Rattlesnake Kid" when
the two were lost in the grim sinkhole
of death two weeks ago.
The Kid" who has not slept under a
roof for thirty years, and insists that
he has no other name, reached Green
water Monday in a delirious condition
and told of the two men having tossed
a coin to see which should take the
burro and one of the five quarts of wa
ter. He won the burro and escaped.
Searching parties were Immediately
sent out from Greenwater, but the
frowning wall of the Panamints. guard
ing the valley on the west. still holds
the secret of the fate of the missing
man. It is through this buttress of
rock that Eldridge must have made his
way back toward Telescope peak. and
as no trace of him could be found In
any of the passes leading out from the
west it is regarded S a certainty that
he has persisted.

AGAINST THE AMENpMENr.

The Advertiser is in constant re- ceipt of letters endorsing the move ment to defeat the adoption of ths constitutional prohibition amendment. Two of these letters are from members of the constitutional convention of 1901 and both strong and influential members of that able and patriotic body. They are both former chancei- lors and we'll poised judicial-minded men. We refer to Hon. Jere N. Will Hams, of Clayton. Barbour county, and Hon. wm. H. Tayloe, Uniontown, Per " county. They both write that they would have signed the call published Sunday morning if opportunity to do so had presented itself. As stated in The Advertiser the work of getting out the call and signatures was done very rapidly and there was not the time in which to communicate with a great many men all over the State who would have swelled the list of sigma lures to thousands instead of hun dreds.

SHE'S A HUMMER,

Mrs. Annie Besant is a Theosophist. She Is likewise head of the Theosoph- ical Society of America. Among her other accomplishments may be includ ed an unlimited fund of brilliant imag- nation, of the kind that sees things that are not to be seen. Recently she delivered lecture in New York and The St. Louis Post Dispatch gives this resume of her uttered doctrines:
 IL seems that every soul Is original ly a "germinal" soul, and from this humble beginning rises through the various stages Of savagery. barbarism and civilization to the heights of gem ius. During hundreds or thousands of all possible human experiences. He is brutal. benevolent, criminal stupid, in- lalligent-every human state must be passed through and assimilated, and when there Is no more sweet and bit- ter to be sucked from the flowers of experience he subsidies into nirvena a state of consciousness which compre- hends all. the most diverse. opposed and contrary characteristics. state so comprehensive of all that 1t can not be distinguished from nothing-S dreamless sleep.
 No doubt the ordinary human viii be inclined to ask how she knows al this. and the truthful reply from or dinary people will be that she doesn't know it. To quote again from The Dispatch.
 Theosophy contains much that is humane and good much that the world needs. But II would make greater progress If if did not take so much for granted. and if it were not so sen sational and theatrical. Reincarnation convincing force to some of the loft lest minds. It numbers even Plato among it's supporters. But 1t was never anything but an assertion. Mrs. Besant talks about root races" "a third eye a; the base Of the nose" the divine power of che solar pleX- us.' always speaking with authority, gestion of evidence, the cautious thinker cannot but smile and shakS his head. It may all be true. But how does she know it?
 No doubt there is something of good in Theosophy. It would be difficult to name any belief or dogma that has not some good in it's teachings and in its practice. The saying that there is good in everything doub tless applies to this belief of which Mrs Besant talks so enthusiastically and KIibly. Of course she knows nothing about 1t. hut a person with such a vivid imag ination as she undoubtedly possesses. and who has read up on occultism and all that It means. as we have no doubt she has done, can tell a greac many things they do not know.
 But doesn't she put human beings

sound Democracy.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot
 Here Is a bit of Democratic doctrine. pure and undefiled. which Is clipped from The Houston Post:
 We are running entirely too much to government in this country. This is as true of the states as of the Federal authority. The Jeffersonian maxim that that country is governed best which is governed least has apparently lost much of its force among men who aspire to lead the people. They seem to forget that every time a statute is placed upon the books, some measure of liberty Is destroyed. and they proceed with their law making as if law were the great objective of statesmanship."
 These be words of wisdom to which the people would do well to hearken when importuned by fanatics and demagogues to give their sanction to a flood of statutory requirements and in- hibitions which become dead letters before the ink in which they are print ed dries. It is the worst government possible which hedges in It's citizens with a multiplicity of laws. of which the average man has neither knowl- edge nor understanding and from the general non-observance of which is finally bred universal contempt for all law. The household tyrant makes rebels of his children by the needless number of restrictions he places on their conduct, and just so the state drives its people to outlawry by seek ing to substitute legislative enactments for the guidance of reason and con- science in all the affairs of life.

Propo.ed prohibltIon Amendment.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The conference of the opponents of eonstltutional prohibition: EaO1.S. to be held looked forward to with inense inter- est and great hCpefulness by all who desire to see this State keep out of MaineS position. In that New England State prohibition has been a part of the State Constitution forty-six years. and yet the arrests for drunkenness in Portland and other Maine cities are ful- they are in cities that are not under constitutional prohibition. Constitu- tional prohibition no more prohibits, in other words. than does a statute or municipal ordinance.
 The conference at Montgomery should take broad grounds. It should appeal to the common sense of the State. While the problem Of regulat- formative condition the State should keep its laws on that subject fluid and elastic, subject to any change that ex- perience may suggest. In Alabama fin the Legislature by direct popular vote and surely they can trust them selves when they go to the polls.
 Because Governor Conner and pro- fessionai prohibltionlsts demand con stitutional prohibition Is not sufficient reason for tying the hands of the State by rendering It's laws inelastic. The t Tea mattsr at MGntsomsry in M prs like manner. Is 1t better to go along perfecting our laws relating to liouor fasten one fixed policy on the State and to nall 1t down so that 1t can not be readily changed. no matter how unwise or intellectual it may prove to be? large attendance at the com ing conference is assured and that a strong and telling appeal will be made to the intelligence and conservatism and tolerance of the patriotic men of this State.
