Plan Shaft to Prof. Roller.

The local alumni association of the
Augusta Military Academy is planning
to erect monument to tie memory OF
the late Prof. Charles S. Roller, the
founder, and for years the principal of
the school, Circular letters are to be
sent to the alumni all over the country,
asking for subscriptions to the men,
orial fund, and the shaft will probably
be unveiled at the commencement ex-
ercises in June.
Former Mayor w. II. Landes, of this
city, who is president of the alumni as
ISOLATION, is at the head Of the project
and gave out his plans Tuesday. Prof.
Roller established the school forty
years ago and was its efficient princi-
pal until his death about year ago.
The committee having charge of the
matter is composed of Hon. w. II.
Landes, chairman, Mr.. N. l.. Shrek
hise, of Mt. Sidney, Mr.. }. D. Crowle,
Mr.. G. Frank CARRIER and Mr.. w. s.

A CLASH.

There is tension between Congress
and the President just now. Both the
senate and House are after him. The
SENATE recently passed resolution di-
recting the Judiciary Committee to re-
port whether in its opinion the presi-
dent was authorized to permit the alb
sorption of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron Co. by the United States Steel
Corporation. The President refused to
allow the Attorney General to give any
information to the Senate regarding
his permission to the Steel Corporation
to absorb it, and thus he he has stirred
up a hornets nest.
Never before, we imagine, has such
contempt been shown by one branch
of the government to another, and
surely never before was the Senate OF
the United States 30 snubbed. AS a
rebuke to the President for his course
in this matter the Senate tabled por-
tions of his message. This is draw
ing things to point. Mr.. Roosevelt
az a prospective elephant hunter is not
the same as Mr.. Roosevelt with four
years in the White House before him.

The following letter has been received

speaks for itself:

Dear Eir:-Ths committee appointed
BY the Virginia Press Association to
award the prize Of 500 offered by the
Pslouzs Type Foundry Company, of
Richmond, to the best and most neatly
printed weekly newspaper in Virginia
for the month Of May, decided, it is
fair to say by very narrow margin
over at least one other contestant-in
favor of the Etaunton SPECTATOR. The
,ssolution under which the committee
,cted, however, required contestants to
DO members of the Association. We
ind that, technically, and through
40 fault of yours, the SPECTATOR is not
q member of the Association, although
No hope to have it enrolled next year.
Therefore, the prize goes to the next
aea rest contestant.
The SPECTATOR is to be congratulate
I'd on the superior showing it made
against large and formidable field. As
you had reason to believe that the
SPECTATOR was in full membership
NTH the Association, the committee
kinks IL but justice to you and the
SPECTATOR to communicate to you
;hese facts for such use as you may see
lit. The SPECTATOR was the best
weekly newspaper printed in Virginia
asst May, but did not come under the
Jules exactly.
Let us wish ysu and the SPECTATOR
a very prosperous and happy New
Year.
Yours very yours,
ALFRED B. WILLIAMS,
Chairman.
r. P. BARHAM,
J. Fl. LINDSAY,
Committee.
The winning of the above named
prize and the losing Of it on techni-
aAllity, grew out Of the manner in
which the SPECTATOR had been enter
ID a. q member Of the Virginia Press
association by former employe, Mr..
a. q. Morton. The privilege was
swardsd him by the editor Of enjoying
he travel, social functions and emolu-
zlsnts attendant upon the SPEcTA-
YoR's membership. Forgetful of the
act that the newspaper, and not the
nan, constitute the real membership,
lie 30 placed the membership as to put
5imself arst and the newspaper last,
mus when his employment by us ceas-
"a the SPECTATOR technically ceased
30 be a member of the Association, and
Tor this reason only the prize goes else
here.
There is lasting satisfaction, however,
ia knowing that 10 able and impartial
& committee has testified that THE
GpncTAToR WAS THE BEST WEEKLY
HwsPAPER PUBLISHED IN VIRGINIA
& asst MAY, though those who won that
sasomium regret that the prize did not
Eseompany the compliment.

do the Tonopah people who are opposing county division re-

mont at that time the county seat. Didn't every mothers son of
them, sngly and collectively, swear by all the gods of war the dis
lance was too far for them to go in order to transact business at the
county capital and with one accord start an agitation for its re-
moval to a more central point? Now these same people ask the in

Ye gods! What al argument! Try again, brother; try again.
When the county seat of Nye county was situated at Belmont there
was no railroad connecting it with other towns and the mode of
travel was by wagon. Even the automobile had not made its advent
into the desert. Then again at the time the county seat was re-

while the residents of Tonopah numbered some 5000.
A number of Tonopah people who have gone to Pioneer and are

county division affair and state that they will fight against any such
measure which may be introduced into the legislature.

CARSON, Feb. 3.-That anti-Jap-
anese resolution introduced Monday
by Speaker Giffen has, apparently
caused a whole lot more stir and
commotion on the outside than 1t
did here around the capital. Not
only press reports from Washington
indicate that the administration
there is alarmed over its radical
tone; but Senator Nixon wired the
presiding officers of both houses that
he had been summoned to the white
house to talk the matter over with
the president. Nixon says the reso-
luton can do no possible good and
may do harm, leaving the impress
sion that he would advise that it be
suppressed in some way. 1t has not
yet reached the senate, so no action
was taken on the senator's telegram.
In the assembly after some discus
sion, it was decided to wire Mr..
Nixon a copy of the resolution as it
finally passed, with it's fangs drawn,
claws carefully clipped and all
causus bill removed.
This forenoon, before the assem-
bly, convened, Speaker Giffen called
the newspaper correspondents to-
gether, and explained to them that
he is not a radical, rather a conserv-
alive; that his intention was neither
to step into the iimelight nor ia
create any trouble in any quarter,
This action was doubtless the result
of some unfavorable comment con
