One evening he was leaning against
a wall for few moments refreshment
and surveying the throng Of guests
gathered at his wife's bidding with a
speculative gaze when voluble young
man stepped up to him.

the lively stranger. II wonder If the

Never" returned the unrecognized
host promptly.
"Then shall make my bow and take
myself off at once," said the man.
Lucky fellow" said Lord -, with
a whimsical smile I'm obliged to
stay"
Something in his tone enlightened the
young man, who turned crimson and
began to stammer apologies. But his
host waived all such attempts and held
out his hand to his unwise guest.
'You can go with clear conscience"
said he pleasantly, ''for you've given
me the only amusement I've had this
evening"

Clay M. Peck, son of Alva A. Peck,
died at the home of W. J. Kohl early
yesterday morning. The cause of his
death was pleurisy. He was II years
and six months of age, and was a
promising young man. His mother
came up from Minneapolis on Thurs
day and was able to be here before
he died. His brothers Will Peck, of
McLain County, N. D., Bert Peck and
Jud Pulver, of Minneapolis, are also
here. Much sympathy is extended to
the family in their great sorrow.

WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN.
But We Are Saved from II by skill

From he New YORK American.
During these seven Rooseveltia1 years
the Congress has become more and more
CALLED by the Executive yoke. He has
been a feared and, therefore, hated per
sonage IN Washington, az the very time
when his popularity outside was most
exalted.
And now the CALLED team has turned
on its driver. When he is about TO lay
aside the wip OF power. the called yoke
mates slash out with their heels al their
former master.
There is large food for thought N cor
slde-Ing what might have been II M
Roosevelt had been elected 70 another
term. The next four years might have

POLL TAXES IN NORFOLK.
How the Democratic Machine Con-
trolls Elections.

From the Norfolk Landmark.
II IS plain that our fair-minded and
public-spirited contemporary. the Lynch
burg News. does not realize the extent
TO which the city OF Norfolk and the
county OF Norfolk have suffered from the
poll tax IN politics
The vice does exist IN the city OF Nor
folk as a conspicuous evil within the
Democratic party. Il caused the last mu-
nicipal Democratic primary 20 so Dr. de-
fault Il decided the last municipal cleo
tion. The incentive IS the control Of the
city government
Numbers OF voters have recently ap-
piled for reassessment. on the ground
that their pou taxes had been paid by
other parties. and they had thus been de-
prived OF their vote. This step was taken
because of the decision Of Judge Martin
that personal payment means payment
with ones own hand. These applications
FOR reassessment have been granted, and
the treasurer Eve presume on legal adj
vice. has accepted a second payment OF
the same poll tax. We very much doubt
the legality Of the rcassessment OF taxes
already paid Decisions are on record in
other states that the legal object OF the
POLL tax IS 20 get the money, and that
when that IS accomplished the law does
not contemplate another payment Of the
same tax
AS 20 Norfolk city, We speak OF white
voters only. IN Norfolk County al the
last Presidential election more negro
voters cast ballots n a single precinct
than are now on the poll tax list IN The
city. and many otherwise qualified white
citizens could not vote at al because Of
having failed 10 pay the poll tax in time
and IL bodily presence.

Army INSTRUMENTATION.

The Secretary Of War has taken a
wise step in the attitude which viii dis
courage army officers from submitting
petitions. which are also protests, against
pending legislation originating al the
War Department It has appeared 10
observers that too much complaint has
been manifested among army officers
concerning the legislative plans Of su-
perior military authority. The encour-
sgement Of this has a tendency, OF
course. 10 create INSTRUMENTATION. It
must be assumed that the military au-
thorides in Washington know what they
are about when submitting drafts OF
measures intended for the increase OF
military efficiency. If those measures
are not worthy, then the sources Of such
suggestions TO Congress are sadly in
capable, If not dangerous. Subordinate
officers who are away from Washington
ana who believe that legislation is not
20 their individual benefit may materially
interfere with these plans for military
beuermeat BY being allowed 10 submit
petitions and appeals This is not say
tng that the army must be ruled with
iron hand or that defects IN pending
legislation may not be made known TO
the War Department Any officer who
recognizes an imperfeetion in a bin sub
mitted by the War Department viii still
have the right to inform the authorities
Of his discovery. with the assurance that
errors viii be corrected and omissions
sgpplied without the aid Of formidable
and formal petitions

last session Of Congress some army Of
nceTs desired TO have the provisions
made more advantageous to themselves.
nd by their interference. IN the way Of
protests and appeal. they came very
near to defeating the legislation. The
War Department should put itself in the
position OF acquiring all necessary in
formation, and construct its drafts Of
legislation upon what is deemed for the
interests Of the service, with a view 10
the increase Of efficiency, and it may do
his without regard to individual inter
esrs- For this reason the decision Of the
