HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Miss Ida Tarbell, writing in The
American Magazine. gives some figures
showing the increased cost of living with
us. The figures she quotes are from
the u. S. Labor Bureau and are sup
posedly reliable.
For instance, take what the bulletin
of the labor bureau calls the annual
per capita cost of the necessaries of
daily consumption. 1t rose from $74. 81
in 1896 to $107 &c in 1906. Coal which
cost $3.50 ton in 1896 cost 81. so ton
in 1906. Manufactured commodities
were 80 per cent higher in 1906 than ten
years before. What one called raw
commodities, so per cent higher. ''All
commodities" averaged 35.4 per cent
higher.
Quoting from bulletin she shows that
in 1906 the weekly wages of the 334, 600
were 1871 per cent higher than in 1896
while, as said, the cost of all COM
modities was 80 per cent higher. Wages
increased 3.9 per cent in 1906 over 1905,
while the cost of commodities increased
90 per cent. While wealth is rolling
up as never before (this country in
creased its wealth between 1900 and
1904 by about $40, COO, ,000, ,OO0)-a vast
number of hard-working people in this
country are really having a more diff
cult time making ends meet than they
have ever had before.

THE OYSTER STEW.

Representing the largest oyster con-
stituency in Virginia, we desire to warn
our readers and the public generally
against the very radical changes now
being urged in the oyster laws of the
commonwealth.
We do not view with satisfaction the
proposal to break the Baylor Survey.
Who knows where it would end? Our
friends who are discussing the situation
take the view that these depleted bot
toms should be forthwith turned over
to private hands. These depleted bot
toms should be given time to restock.
and the present laws should be rigidly
enforced in the handling of the oyster.
it seems to us. We do not think that
the present supply of planting ground
IS exhausted by any means. Hence.
there is no need to turn out" large
acreage to supply demand for plant
ing ground that may not otherwise be
filled. The natural oyster rocks are
the heritage of the people. They should
be conserved, re-stocked, protected
against the vandals who would DESTROY
them, and kept in tact, as free to the
honest tonger as the waters of our no
bic rivers and bays themselves. .-Glou-
cester Tribune.

DON'T WHINE.
(west Point News.l

Don't be whining about having a fair
chance. Throw a sensible man out of
the window, and he'll fall on his feet
and ask the nearest way to his work.
The more you have to begin with the
less you will have in the end. Money
you earn yourself is much brighter
than any you get out of dead mems
bags A scant breakfast in the morn
ing of life whets the appetite for a
feast later in the day. He who has
tasted sour apple will have the more
relish for sweet one. Your present
want will make future prosperity all
the sweeter. Eighteen pence has set
up many pedlar in business, and he
has kept his carriage. AS for the place
you are cast in, don't find fault with
that; you need not be horse because
you were born in a stable.
If bull tossed man of mettle sky
high, he would drop down into a good
place. A hard working man with his
wits abouts him will make money while
others will do nothing but lose it.
AS to the little troubles, who expects
to find cherries without stones, or roses
without thorns? Who would win must
learn to bear. Idleness lies in a bed
sick of the mulligrubs, while industry
finds health and wealth.

ONE REASON WHY.

According to report in the Bristol
Herald-Courier, Rev. ]. ID. McAllister,
field secretary of the Virginia Anti
Saloon League, said in an address in
that city Sunday, in explaining why the
League did not declare for Statewide
prohibition:
Another reason was that we had no
authority to do any such thing. Re-
membering that our creator and con-
stituency is the Church of Virginia; re-
membering that we have formed no
alliance with any other force; that we
have followed the dictates of our creator;
that we make our reports to the Church
and to nobody else; that we seek no
support from any organization except
the Church; that we acknowledge no
citizenship except that furnished by the
Church; we have lived and labored on
the platform that the Church has laid
down for US from the beginning. From
three great Southern Methodist confer
ences lying wholly or in part in the State
of Virginia-the Virginia, the Baltimore
and the Holston conferences-exce
the mild resolution passed before the
Holston Conference, which left the
matter with the League, there is not one
utterance that would give us authority
for such a movement. The Baptist
State Convention has never passed a
resolution that favored the Statewide
movement. In the State there are some
thirty Baptist associations; there are
twenty-seven or twenty-eight Methodist
district conferences. Except the reso-
luton passed by the Big Stone Gap Dis
trict Conference, and by the Baptist
Lebanon Association and Abingdon Dis
trict, they have never given any such
utterance. The Presbyterian Synod
has never done such thing, and,
furthermore, not even the Episcopal
Church has made straight declaration
for Statewide prohibition.

IRvINGTON, VIRGINIA. FRIDAY, APRIL 2 1909

/ might mention but fear being invid-
ious. The searchers after old colonial
homes and mansions antique in style
will be much interested in the old
buildings of the town, some of these
dating far back of the Revolutionary
days. During the civil war Confeder-
ate force was stationed at this place,
but no battle of consequence were
fought. Visitors may have pointed out
an old brick eIifice with an ugly scar
in the wall, made, it is stated, by an
English cannon shot, this in the war of
1872. The courthouse is decorated with
the portraits of many notables, some
of these antedating the Colonial period.
Altogether Tappahannock is an interest
ing place and deserves perpetuation.
Tappahannock is the home of the
Tidewater Democrat, whose editor, Mr..
A. ID. Latane, is modest almost to shy
ness, but who has the gift of industry
and honesty, coupled with not little
force. The Latanes are come down in
a long line of descent from a French
Huguenot family that, forced out of
their native country in the days of the
persecution, settled in Virginia, and the
present Latane is the fifth 1 think in
lineal decent from the original ances-
tor. The family has many branches,
and not few have become men of
distinction. Another Tappahannock
family that was of notable character is
that of the Gordons. OF this family
the descendants of DR.. Thomas Gordon,
II children were born, IL of whom
lived to adult life. Five brothers
served in the Confederate ranks, two
dying on the field of battle. William
Gordon, the eldest, was considered in
his day to rank as the equal if not the
superior of any lawyer at the Virginia
bar J. b. H.

DOES NOT LACK THE COURAGE.

Whether they are for Judge Mann or
against him, the newspapers of the
State are practical unit in saying that
Judge Mann is not dodger, and that
ne doesn't lack the courage of his con-
victions. In view of the decision in the
Ward law case and the attitude of the
Anti-Saloon League in favor of local
option as the policy of the temperance
people of the State, and of the controlling
fact that Statewide prohibition is re-
pugnant to the Democratic doctrine of
local self-government, the contingency
that Judge Mann as Governor will have
a deal with Statewide prohibition
measure during his term of office is al
most as remote as is the possibility
that Harry Tucker will be the next
Governor of Virginia. Indeed, in view
of the foregoing facts, we are about
convinced that Statewide prohibition is
quite negligible quantity in this cam
