Declaring that it is brutaIizing to
feed men like so many animals, as is
now practiced at the State penitentiary
In Richmond, the board of directors Of
that institution in its annual report sub
mltted to the Governor last week, again
urged the erection of a mess hall and
kitchen. As it is, the men have to pass
IN line and their meals are handed to
them. These rations are then taken in
TO the cells, where they have slept, and
are eaten there. The report calls at
tention to the fact that it takes about
twenty minutes for the line to pass and
that in cold weather the meals become
nearly If not entirely frozen, before the
men can reach their cells. The cooking.

DEMOGRATIG EXTRAYAsAHGE.

The Democrats in the last Guberna-
torial campaign in Virginia were very
boastful Of the excellent manner in
which they claimed to have handled the
finances of the State. They pronounced
the charges of extravaganza and mis-
management preferred by the Republi-
cans as maIiciously false. Now comes
the report Of the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts which fully sustain the charges
OF the Republicans as to the wasteful
and Inefficient management by the
Democrats of the States finances.
Two years ago there was nearly a
million dollars surplus in the State

While in many respects 'Home-com-
ing" week in Alexandria, Va, was a
brilliant success, it was the beginning
of Representative Carlin's troubles.
President Taft was a distinguished WISH
tor on that occasion and Mr.. Carlin
acted as his guide, showing off the
beauties of Washington's neighboring
city.
The President was so pleased with
the Virginia town and the way that it
was represented to him that he began
to think it would be good thing to at
tach the whole country and Mr.. Carlin
to the District of Columbia.
Carlin is sure the President would
never have thought of such thing if
he had not visited Alexandria at that
time and that he (Carlin) would now be
getting his regular eight hours sleep
daily. Washington Herald.

What Christmas Means.
Leslie's.W Weekly.


Christmas means hope and its reali-
cation. The child grows eagerly ex-
pectant as the time approaches for the
visit of Santa Claus. While this fiction
remains unquestioned, the imagination
opens new and wider worlds, and ideals
become so mnch a part of the mind
that the prosaic and commonplace can
never crush them. Until the youth
reaches manhood and independence,
Christmas is the happiest day of the
year. Its gifts and hearty good cheer
impress family affection, parental
thoughtfulness, and brotherly love.
The dullest- and most irrespo1sive of
fathers and mothers are uplifted to
vision Of higher life by the interchange
OF souvenirs and the merry meeting
with children and grandchildren at the
table and fireside. Few can escape and
all enjoy the meaning of the festival.
the lessons 1t conveys, and the inspira-
ton 1t gives, and we enter upon a
brighter future and a fuller apprecis-
ton Of the beneficence of the practice
OF faith, hope, and charity. The loved
ones who have crossed to the other
side, the loved near and far who are
still with US, the old homestead with its
precious memories, the old church
whose sacred associations tie together
childhood, maturity, and age, love,
marriage, and death; the schoolhouse
where the beginnings of education were
so painful, and the ever increasing
pleasures of the pursuit of learning
through the high school, academy, ana
college are recalled and recited; and
there IS exquisite delight in these Oft
told tales, and new experiences enliven
this blessed anniversary.

Governor Glasscock of West Virginia
has been asked to issue requisition on
Virginia for the person of Mr.. S. w.
Williams, Attorney General-elect of the
latter State, under Indictment in the
former jurisdiction for felonious as

Governor Swanson as saying that he
will grant the requisition if made in Ie-
gal form and that is as it should be-:
but there should be no occasion for for
NAL proceedings in the premises and we
can not believe that any exists. Mr..
Williams announced some time ago that

whenever notified of the date of trial
and 1t is not to be presumed that he has
altered that proper resolution. 1t would
never do for the chief law officer of

the position even technically of a fugi-

The coal operators who attended
conference at Bristol last week take an
optimistic view of the future. Their
orders have been brisk during the last
few weeks, and they have been unable
to get men for the mines as rapidly as
desired. However, the volume of cosl
mined daily in the Lee and Wise county
fields has been more than doubled in The
last two months. New coke plants are
being constructed at several points, and
the general demand for structural iron
indicates that the demand for coke is
going to be unusually large within the
next few months. The Southwest Vir-
ginia operators are demanding more and
more laborers, and the indications are
that by the middle of next year the
greatest activity in the history of the
coal districts embraced in the counties
of Wise, Lee and Russell will be real

Postal Savings Banks.
Philadelphia Press.

For many years there has been a de-
mand on the part of large portion of
the population for the establishment of
a postal savings bank. The appeal
comes from people of small means. who
as matter of patriotism aud sound
business policy ask that the Govern
ment throw around their savings a
measure of the protection it throws
around their persons and their homes.
1t IS logical demand and President
Taft, IN his annual message, expresses
his approval of the proposition in no I'm
certain t rms. Many Of the community.
not only in the cities, but in rural dis
tricts, who are wage-earners and can
spare small amounts weekly, are unable

stltutinos because of their small savings

suspicious OF the excellent savings funds

bank behind which stands the authority

eminent, and while a certain reserve
should always be kept in hand for nav
ments, a large sum would remain in the
hands of the Government, which could
be used in the interest of the people
The postal savings bank is not in anv
sense new idea. They have been sue
cessfully carried on in foreign lands for
many years, and have proven a benefit
not only to the depositors. but to the
as well.
The post offices, located in every
small village, would become offices of
deposit and withdrawal and the conve-
nience of the depositors would be great

in swelling the principal of the deposits.
yet be such that the Government would
also benefit thereby. There appears 10
be no logical reason why these postal
savings banks should not be established
They would not come into competition
with banks and trust companies. as the
rate OF interest paid would be INSULT

the intimate result would be to increase
their deposits by enabling many small

there was really no legitimate surplus
in the treasury in September.
When the newly elected General AS

Is little reasonable excuse for the sit

Democrats have been claiming great
credit for the largely increased reve-
nues CT the State So, the apparent
unfortunate condition Of the treasury
cannot he explained by falling off of
the revenues but must be attributed to
the reckless and incapable management
OF Democratic administration.
With such pitiabIe condition in the
hnsnces Of Virginia, it would seem that
the Democrats ought to call halt IN
their extrayagant expenditures. viii
they do 50? We notice that movements
are being started for the creation of
new offices for hungry members of the
tribe and that determined efforts are to
be made to establish a '1egalized pri-
mary, " to be held at the expense of the
State. 1t is also said that instead Of
eurtsiling the already extravaganza ap-
preparations and a reduction of the
number OF ofhce-holders, that the sit
nation is to be relieved by hunting up
new subjects of taxation, thus adding
to the burdens of the tax payers.
The people have already been paving
very heavily for Democratic Machine
government in Virginia, and it is likely
that the cost will be increased.

Gov. KitChia on Prohibition.

Governor Kitchin, in a letter to
Rev. W. B. Oliver, of Florence, S.
c., in response to inquiries upon
the effect of prohibition IN North
Carolina, says: Cuisines in this
State is as sound and progressive
as in any adjoining State. Prohi-
bition has not demoralized labor.
1t is true that some negroes and
some white men, too as far that,
are violating the prohibition law,
and our courts are constantly
sending them to the roads for it.
Considering the profits, the VIC
lations are not beyond what pro
hibitionists expected. The law is
supported by public sentiment and
is a great benefit to the State,
though, of course, there r many
good citizens who opposed prohi-
bition and who still doubt it's
efficacy, and wisdom. 1t is, hov-
ever, doubtless working as we'll
and as satisfactorily in this State
as in any other. 1t has not work
ed corruption and evil, though
some men have engaged in corrup-
tion and evil under it. 1t never
made a good man a bad one. It
is not true that drunkenness is
more common and prevalent than
before prohibition, In my judg.
men there is not a county in the
State that IS spending as much
money for or consuming as much
whiskey per capita as before pro-
hibition. There is not the slight
est probability that the mex Leg
islature will repeal the law. I
think the prohibition sentiment is
sounder and stronger than hereto
