MANN, THE HYPOCRiTE.

The Richmond Evening Journal has
been exposing the inconsistent and hy-
pocritical record of Judge Mann in con-
nection with legislation on the liquor
question. The Journal has shown that
Mann, while conducting legislation
against the liquor traffic in the State
Senate, declined to vote for a certain
amendment to the bill regulating the
sale of liquor, which amendment pro-
posed to place a tax of $500 on dining
and other cars upon which liquor is sold.
This amendment was offered by Senator
Folkes, of Richmond, and was defeat
ed by tie vote of II to II. Mann was
present and declined to vote. He was
a railroad attorney as well as a State
Senator, and the legitimate inference
is that he acted in the interests of the
railroads.
If the Journal will investigate it will
find that Judge Mann, as a member OF
the Senate, made some other very
glaringly inconsistent record on the
liquor question.
At the regular session of the Genera
Assembly in 1904, on March 3rd, House
Bill to amend and re-enact Sec. 1904 OF
the Code of Virginia, as amended by
Act approved March 5, 1900, was re.
ported to the Senate. This amendment
was intended to prevent social clubs in
the cities from selling intoxicating
liquors on Sunday.
The bill came up for passage on March
18th, and was passed, yeas, 18, noes, IL.
Among the twelve who voted against
the bill was William Hodges Mann.
He was anxious to preserve the morals
of the country by preventing the sale
of intoxicating liquors to his country
cousins, even on any day in the week;
but was unwilling to deprive the city
clubmen of the luxury, even on Sunday.
The bill as passed can be found in Acts
of General Assembly, Regular Session,
1904, page S65.

One OF the largest mail order houses
OF Chicago recently broke all postal re-
cords by mailing 5000, 600 catalogues,
each weighing two ounces--the whole
weighing go tons. The sacks holding
them weighed sixty-five tons. II these
had been sent out on one train thirty
cars would have been filled. And the
victims Of the mail order business pay
this postage in addition to the price of
the goods. Memphis News Scimitar.
So they do and also the cost of the
catalogues and circulars themselves.
The moral pointed is plain: Patronize
home merchants. By so doing you both
see and know what you are getting be-
fore you pay for it. save money for
yourself in the long run and encourage
home industries. The mail order house
Is IN business for the benefit of its pro-
prietors, not of out of town customers.
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.
Now, why do the people of Norfolk,
of Memphis and other cities and rural
communities patronize the mail order
houses of Chicago? Of course it is upon
the idea that they can buy from them
cheaper than they can from home mer-
chants. They act upon the Democratic
doctrine that it is right to buy from
strangers aud foreigners, if they can
buy cheaper from them, rather than to
purchase from homefolks. If the mail
order house is in business for the bene-
fit of its proprietors, not out of town
customers, are not foreign manufact-
urers engaged in business upon precise
ly the same principle? If it is right to
encourage home industries as against
the mail order houses in our own coun-
try, is it not much more and intelligent
ly moral for our people of the United
States to uphold the doctrine of protec-
ton as against foreign manufactured
products, by purchasing of our OWL
manufacturers, even if they are higher,
than by sending to Europe and the Ori.
ent our money for goods made by cheap
labor? Will we not save money for our,
selves in the long run and encourage
home Industries? If we buy at home We
will have both the goods and the money
here. If we buy foreign goods, we will
get the cheaper goods but the foreigner
will get our money and keep it.

No Sense Of Shock.
Robert Kitchens. in Century.

HNOOSTI hlCnenS, IN century.
Most of the refugees with whom l
have talked told me that they felt no
sense of fear when the shock came. One
lady, who was buried up to her neck in
debris, whose only child was killed at
her side by falling masonry, and who
was slightly wounded, said to me: 81
felt no fear. only a feeling of impotent
rage that l could not get to my child. -
This lady was dragged out of the ruins
by her younger sister after prolonged
and almost superhuman efforts. Many
people have told me that there were
three separate and quite different move
ments of the earth in that awful min
ute. The first was backward and for
ward, the second upward, the third
seemed to be circular. 1t was the sec
ond that destroyed Messina. Its vio-
lence, the fugitives say, was appalling.
The noise, one man told me, was exact
ly like that made by a fast train in a
tunnel. Another man said: Before
the first shock from the bowels of the
earth there seemed to issue a roaring
voice of menace. 1t made me clap nv
hands to my ears. Then came the
shocks.
This roaring voice of the earth was
succeeded by a strange and horrible ST.
lence after Messins had fallen in ruins,
after the houses had toppled, the bar
racks and churches had crashed to the
ground, the hotels had buried their in
mates. There was silence and then all
over what had been a sleeping city
broke forth the shrieks of the wounded,
the yells of those who had suddenly
gone mad, the frantic prayers of wo-
men, curses from many men, the fierce
bowling of dogs"

intellectual and patriotic representa-
tives of the Anglo Saxon race in Vir-
ginia would not hesitate to outrage
consistency and commit crimes against
each other, against political brothers,
to accomplish a desired end. We do
not doubt but what the News Leader
so confidently predicts would come true
if the conditions it mentions should
arise. What has already been done by
Democratic registrars in Halifax and
Norfolk counties would be practiced in
many of the negro counties in East
ern Virginia.

Our Rat Bill sI6O,OOO,O0O.
Success Magazine.


The bill of damages which civilization
holds against the rodent foots up into
tremendous figures. According to the
experts of the Bureau of Biological Sur
vey of the department of agriculture,
Uncle Sam alone has to pay $160, 900, 900
every year on account of property dam
ages inflicted by the pest. John Bull
and the Kaiser between them have to
fork over $3.50, 900, 600. The rat bill of
the world would reach into the billions.
Sir James Crichton-B Browne, president
Of recently formed International union
Of scientific organizations working to-
gether for the determination of rats,
declared that every rat in the United
States costs the citizens at least two
cents day for its keep. In England a
rat costs from one-half a cent to five
cents daily. The British India rat is
the most expensive rodent of them all,
for there each of the innumerable
swarming millions Of the pests consume
on an average of three cents daily. If
you add to the cost of the board and
lodging of rats the expense of main
tanning quarantine operations against
them the average specimen of the ro-
dent tribe preying on civilized nations
may be said to cost us from seven to
ten cents day.

An Ubiquitous System.
Richmond Times Dispatch.


The present tax system of Virginia,
as this paper is endeavoring to show,
is altogether inadequate and unfair. 1t
permits absurd inequities in the matter
of assessments; it perpetrates serious
injustices in the way of double taxation;
it deprives the State of vast amount
of due revenue. This is what it does to
the States own citizens. Outside her
borders, where its evils are known, it
acts as distinct check to the flow of
capital seeking investment. A Port
land, Me-, man, who bought Virginia
land some time ago, writes The Lynch
burg News to make such statements as
this:
Had l known the amount of trouble
there would have been in just this one
feature should surely have kept clear
of Virginia. Change the tax
system and then there will be a ready
and advancing market for every foot of
land that is put on the market. 4"
Much as believe in Virginia, would
not advise any one to purchase land
within her borders, until her present
system of tax collecting is rooted out
and replaced by one that is equitable
and sensible"
Here, then, is state of affairs which
seriously initiates against the interests
of Virginia, both from within and with
out; condition the remedying of which
would entail and therefore demonstrate
practical craftsmanship of high order,
and at the same time would be a large
public service to the State. From the
standpoint of the candidates, therefore,
here is an ideal issue: troublesome, COM
plicated, demanding great abilities and
of prime interest to every voter in the
State. Is it possible that two aspirants
for the highest Office in virginia have
nothing at all to say about it? Is it
possible that they will go on ignoring
so vital and perplexing matter, while
they thresh over and over issues which
have long since ceased to be such?
