ANOTHER BILL OF PARTICULARS.

The Bills of Particulars we have been
filing, showing the extravaganza and
waste of Democratic administration in
Virginia, have been meeting with the
approval of the people, but have been
made light of as trivial matters" by
those.members of the Democratic press
who consider the unnecessary expendi-
ture of hundreds of thousands of dollars
as an indication of progressive govern
ment. We here file another bill to
which we call the attention, especially,
of the Richmond News Leader and the
Lynchburg News.
Item 1. The Democratic Legislature
in 1908 created the office of Fish Com
missioner and fixed his salary at 81, 500
with $500 additional for travelling ex-
penses. Mcdonald Lee, former chair
man of the Board of Fisheries, lobbied
the bill through establishing the office,
to which he was promptly appointed.
He was worthy and hungry member
of ''the tribe" and had to be provided
for.
Last year, 1908, there was available
for policing, salaries, etc., of the Com
mission of Fisheries the sum of $50, 900
- all, col 00n vuas oolIao+ad - 1ooo
in taxes from the public oyster beds.
Don't this look like waste, to expend
sixty thousand dollars to collect SCI, 900?
Item 2. The Democrats originated
what they call Examiners of Records.
These examiners took up the work of
examining the records of the clerks
Offices to find iduciary funds that were

not being taxed. The work had previ-
ously been done by the clerks and they
practically do all the work now. But
new offices had to be created to appease
the hunger of as many as possible of
the otfice-seekers; hence the creation of
the Examiners of Records. We don t
know how many of these are now on
the pay roll, ~. there is certainly one
or more for each Congressional district
in the State. They get their data from
the clerk, then turn it ever to commits
sioners Of revenue, who place it upon
the property books. The examiner gets
his compensation and the commissioner
of revenue his compensation, double
compensation being paid out by the
State.
In 1907 the State paid these Exam
liners of Records So, SOLO. The work
could have been done as effectively by
the clerks for the sum of $1,000. Here
them Mr.. News Leader, is a waste of
more than $2O,OOO year to provide Of
fces for hungry Democrats. But $40
600 is too trivial a matter" to receive
the notice of our Richmond contempo-
rary.

voted its entire energies to praise of
Mr.. Tucker and dispraise Of Judge

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?''
To understand Dr. R. S. Powel's
(Uncie Sam's) defeat, you must know
that this county is divided by the Me-
herrin river into two nearly equal
halves, and that Uncle Sans vote
usually came from the south side of
that river, where he lives. Now it SO
happens that the Hon. ]. d. Elan, the
State Senator for this district. lives on
the same side of the said stream: and
winter before last, when they both were
IN Richmond helping pile up taxes, this
appointment OF Rhea on the Corporation
Commission came up for confirmation.
They differed, the doctor favored Rhea
but the Senator could not see it that
way. This was, to say the least of it.

mented on throughout the State and
whispered among the people until it is
almost conviction. Fear is stealing
over the Democracy and its papers are
trying to laugh away the idea. The
tide has set in, and the Old Dominion is
no longer safe for the Democracy. 1t
Is up to the Democratic leaders to
say that there is no danger. But an
idea like that permeating every nook
and corner of the State is in itself new
and is a straw which shows the direc-
ton of the wind. The Democratic
party is outclassed in candidates, it has
the disadvantage of a rccord-snd a

BY its own adherents.

THE political skies are not very clear
and bright for Harry l.. Maynard's re.
turn to the House of Representatives.
if credit is given the rumors going the
rounds in political circles here, b" says a
Norfolk dispatch to the Washington
Herald Of Monday. 1t is not for what
Mr.. Maynard has done at Washington
nor what he has left undone there that
his political scalp is to be taken, But
it is because he dared espouse the can
didacy Of the Hon. Harry Tucker in op-
position to Judge Mann and the Machine
that today holds Virginia in its grasp.
Mr.. Maynard is not the only one whom
the Machine will endeavor to retire to
private life because they dared oppose
its candidates in the recent primary.
There are many more.

B0MBASTIC Mr.. GLASS,

That political mountebank, the Hon.
Carter Glass, who has svailed himself
of the unfortunate political conditions
prevailing in Virginia and has become
conspicuous as a Democrat, is striving
to make himself again solid with the
Machine. 1t is generally understood
that the Machine is ready to remove
his political head. For it has not
forgotten that Mr.. Glass a few years
ago spoke of the Machine leaders as
political brigands" and corrupt Of
fce-holder's trust"
On last Friday Mr.. Glass was at
Christiansburg and challenged Captain
Kent for joint debate, which Captain
Kent for good and sufficient reasons de-
chned- After developments demon
strated that the declination could have
been reasonably based on Mr.. Glass's
coatseness and littleness. SmartinR
under Captain Kent's refusal to debate
with him, this Bombastes Furioso of
the Virginia Democracy proceeded to
say some nasty, not insulting, things
about Captain Kent. He charged that
captain Kent had displayed bad taste
In reading the severe criticisms that the
Democratic press had said about judge
Mann; that Kent had showed political
cowardice in refusing to meet him in
debate, and had practiced deception by
not urging Republicans to remain in the
courthouse and listen to his slang
whagging TRADES
The idea of Carter Glass taking about
any public man practicing deception is
both brazen and lsughable. His noto-
rlous record of deceit in connection with
the making of the new constitution
would preclude any one who is not wear
ing cheek of brass from criticising an
other upon such lines. He wrote the
resolution that was placed in the State
platform of the Democratic party
pledging that the new constitution
would be submitted to the people for
ratification or rejection. He it was.
who, afterwards, as a member of the
State Senate and as a member of the
constitutional Convention, did all in his
power to obstruct and prevent its sub
mission, even going so far as to argue
that the plain words submit to the
people" did not mean what they said.
No meaner deception was ever prac-
1ced upon any people.
Then, Carter Glass is a nice fellow to
be talking about political cowardice.
How long has it been since notice was
served upon him by a Machine organ
that If he dared to enter the race as
candidate against Judge Mann, that
his personal as well as political record
would be assailed. Thereupon Mr..
Glass shouted out what he was going to
do for the Machine candidate, but he
didn't enter the race. Now he is try
ing to make friends with the Machine
by declaring that Judge Mann is a bet
ter man than Captain Kent. This de-
claration of Mr.. Glass gives a pretty
fair measure of his sincerity, courage
and moral worth. 1t reduces him to a
minimum in these particulars.

The leaders in Cong ress, led by
Speaker Cannon, did all in their
power to destroy the tariff commits
sion provision inserted in the bill
by the Senate but fortunately they
failed 10 achieve that which they set
out to do. The maximum and mini
mum provision makes il necessary
to entrust the President with large
measure of discretion. Under it's
provisions upon him devolves the
responsibility of ascertaining wheth-
er or not any country discriminates
against the trade of the United
States and, moreover, whether or
not such discrimination is undue.
In the exercise of that power and
the defrayment of that responsibility
the President will take steps to as
certain the cost of production here
and abroad and whenever another
tariff revision is undertaken he will
be in a position to lay before Con-
gress mass of substantiated data
beside which the ex parte testimony,
at tariff hearings" from interested
beneficiaries of the tariff will be
shown up in it's true worthlessneSs.

Offer $1OO Prize For StamI
Design

A prize of $500 is offered by the
Wisconsin tuberculosis Asso-
citation for the best design for "a
christmas stamp" to be sold in the
fall to raise money for the purpose
of continuing the fight against tu-
berculosis. These stamps are in the
form of holiday greeting sticker
and are placed on letters, gifts,
packages, etc. Drawings must
reach the association headquarters
at room IS, 121 Wisconsin street,
Milwaukee. by September l.
Last year the association raised
money by selling Red Cross Christ
mas stamps" These had to be
purchased from the National Red
Cross society, Washington. D. c.,
which involved considerable expense
and delay.
This year the association will
issue it's own stamps. They will
be exclusive, a novelty, and wis
consin stamp for Wisconsin people
The price will remain the same, one
cent each.
Besides carrying a neat holiday
greeting, the stamps are an educat-
ing factor, reminding the. recipient
of his duty in the battle against the
dread white plague.
Drawings should be 3 x 4 Il inches,
to be reduced in the process of en-
craving to 4 inches; pasted on
a card 7 x 10 inches. Name and ad-
dress of sender on reverse. Any
number of drawings may be submit
ted by one person. The following
words must be used in some way:

propriate symbol may be used. The
color scheme is red, green and white.

The passage of the tariff bill and
its approval by the President must
prove a source of qualification to all
sensible citizens. The measure act
ually revises the tariff downward,
despite the misleading figures which
our Democratic friends present to
establish their claims to the con-
trary. A word as TO these figures
is not amiss. BY calculating the
percentage of the duty on the
articles taxed, but emitting any ref
erence 10 the articles transferred TO
the free list, they manage to show
slight increase in the percentage of
taxation. Of course such a method
is wholly erroneous. To present a
comparative statement that would
be worth anything it would be
necessary to show the percentages
of reduction, inserting those per-
centageS represented where, as in
the case of hides for instance, the
entire Is per cent formerly imposed
was stricken off. Deduct from the
percentages of reduction the COM
paratively few percentages of in
crease and the remainder would af-
ford fairly accurate measure of
the reduction.

Base Ball

The local base ball team is now
in quest of horseshoes and four-leaf
cloyers, or any other sort of good
luck charm, to off-ses the BE- mex
spell that caught up with them at
North ST. Paul Sunday. To lose
both games of double header was
bad; to get shut out in one of them
was worse, and then to finish up by
missing the train at Saltwater and
having to drive home from Hudson,
was certainly rubbing it in some.
1t sure was an off day for the local
lineup all around. The games were
characterized by the lack of anything
that looked like scientific playing.
The score keeper resigned after the
first few innings, but no one would
have the heart to ask about the
score anyway. This makes it two
games apiece with these teams.
Next Sunday the locals will play
the fast Columbian Knights team of
ST. Paul at the new ball park.
The business mems team which
went TO Hudson last Thursday met
defeat at the hands of the Hudson
business mems team, the score be.
ing Is to 10. River Falls had one
