The Opening Of the State
tuberculosis Sanator,

Arrangements are rapidly being
completed for the opening Of the
State SanatOrium for Tuberculo-
SIS at Catawba. Virginia. The
new Sanatorium is located at the
old Roanoke Red Sulphur Springs
IN the beautiful Catawba Valley,
one of the most picturesque and
beautiful spots in Virginia. The
amount of work required to con-
vert the Springs Buildings into
suitable structures for the Sana-
forum is very considerable, and
is made more difficult by the fact
that materials have to be hauled
twelve miles from Salem. The
new railroad which will pass with.
in a few miles of the Sanatorium
was expected to be completed
last January. but was much de.
layed. 1t will probably not be
opened until the middle of Iuly. -

! WE agree with our friend Mai
or Stubs, and our contemporary
the Times-Dispatch. in their op-
Unions as set forth in the above
extract viz: that the gubernatorial
candidates should brig cut some
new issues. There are many is
sues OF vital Importance to the
people of Virginia which they
have not touched upon. The
questions they have promulgated
they stand side by side upon each
expressing practically the same
views on each subject.
Let them suggest some remedy
Tor the present unequal rate of
taxation and assessment, some
Improvement tor the present pri-
mary system and drop their pres
ent occupation of scoring each
others records. Such personal
attacks interest no and harm
the party greatly. Most of US
believe that either Judge Mann or
Mr.. Tucker will make a good ex-
eCutive. Why then embitter The
factions which are supporting
each by mud Singing.
OF course we Prefer the prima-
ry to the convention and world
not advocate the selection of a
candidate by convention. but if
one could be called to formulate
a platform for the party which
would more fully express the
needs Of the people than Those Of
the asPirants do then we say let
it be held.

SOME FISH STORIES.
Various Degrees of Luck attend
the Industry in Northern
Neck.

The terrific storm that swept
over this region on Friday after
noon and the high winds that
have prevailed since have played
havoc with the fish traps along
the river and bay shores of this
section. entailing losses amount
ing to thousands of dollars. Up
to this time the fishing season
had proved fairly remunerative.
One man living on the lower
waters of the Rappahannock. who
had all his savings invested in fish
traps and tackle, and who for sew
eral successive years had not
caught enough fish to pay expen-
ses, had been trying in vain to
sell his entire outfit for $I5o.
which was considerably less than
the cost of the pine poles that
supported his tackle, He had
about given up in despair when.
on going to his fish pound some
days ago, he found it full of fine
fish. which Melted him about
81. 600.
On the other hand. Captain
HaYnie, living at ReidsviIle, in
Northumberland. found his fish
trap so full that he had to 90
ashore for additional help in land
ing them. but when he returned
he found that the fish had torn
the trap to pieces and had all es-
capped. 1t is said that the run of
herrIng has been the largest and
the vuality of fish the best for
many years. The catch of her
ring has been SO large that they
have been selling for $I.5o a
thousand at the fish factories
where they are ground up and
converted into fertilizer. Many of
them have also been put up for
winter and spring use. The for
est region, near here, is famous
for its sailed herring. Wagons
and carts loaded with herring
have been passing through this
village for some DAYS. going to
the forrest. About 90, 900 her
ring passed through this village
in one day.-Lancester Cor. in

THURSDAY. MAY, 6, 1909.

CONGRESS is as usual making a
bluff at tariff revision. Punctual-
y every fourth year between
April and November the RepuS-
iIcan Party becomes cognizant of
he fact THAI the tariff schedule
needs revision and needs it badly.
but just as soon as the election is
over and their candidate secures
his seat this idea becomes obscur-
I'D by the more attractive pros
pect of the great amount of money
10 be made under the cover of
protection.
This year the bluff went evan
a htIle further and a special SEES
sion OF Congress was called for
tie purpose revising the tariff.
>~Great things were expected of
this special session by some con-
scicnticus Republicans and those
Democrats who were foolish
enough TO take seriously the PREM
ises Of the Repu bIicans. But at
present it seems that they are to
be disappointed as usual. For
with the exception of few sops
which they throw out OCCASION
ally to hold in check popular sem
timent the tendency of the revis-
ion seems to be upward instead
OF downward.
Congressman Carter Glass
spoke truly when in explaining
his vote on the lumber schedule
he said that the northern man
utacturer desired free lumber in
order that he might get his raw
material at cheap prices while the
high rate upon his finished pro-
ducts being unchanged would
largely increase his profits. That
while the lumber of the South
according to that schedule would
be placed in competition with
the markets Of the world, upon
every piece Of chain, or farming
implementswhichthe farmer or the
lnmberman bought he was forced
to pay into the pockets of the big
corporations an enormous profit.
1t is true that the Democrats
are largely to blame for the farce
that is being enacted this year.
Had they stuck together at the
very onset they could have SCI red
victory by defeating Uncle Toe
Cannon buta few deserted the
ranks and he was elected. At
the present time they are split
into several factions and while in
that condition are powerIess TO
accomplish anything.
In the DAYS that are past when
the Democrats stood solidly TO-
gether. though they were not
able to defeat the Republicans.
yet they acted as a check upon
them and often by securing a
Sigh. addition of strength from
the disconnected members of the
opposite party they were able to
defeat some of the most obnox-
ious measures. Now with a
greater number of Democrats in
both branches of Congress they
should be able to wage a more
aggressive fight. Let us hope
that they they will get together
before it IS too late to stop the
highhanded proceeding of the
Republicans and that they may
yet score many victories over
their opponents before this special
session OF Congress is over.

ish interests in the far east, and
Britain would be barred from the start
from a new combination with the
United States, il such an alliance were
possible.
II there we're no previous engage
ment" on Britain's part it is still
doubtful il an alliance between the
United States and Britain on the Car
negie plan would accomplish the de-
sired result. The flrst effect would be
a big increase Of the United States
navy in the Atlantic and a correspond
ing enlargement of the British feet in
the Pacific to meet the new RESPONSE
bilities assumed. II would be the
most natural thing in the world for
the other great nations to make prepa-
rations to offset this new and powerful
combination and they would figure
that the one way to do that would be
to increase their navies. Instead Of
limiting naval expenditures the Car
negie plan would tend to increase
them, and for that reason Mr.. Car
negie's motion will probably be de-
clared out of order.
