THE REPUBLICANS IN VIRGINIA.

The Republicans in Virginia express
| lively hopes of being able to carry the
State. They held a convention at New
port News last week, which showed
| abundance of interest in the campaign,
which must have had its foundation
upon reasonable hopes of success. The
discussion on the stand that the party
would take upon the liquor question
occupied parts of two days, and devel-
oped the strongest feeling on both sides.
The decision of the convention was that
the Republicans must take more ad-
vanced stand than the Democrats upon
this issue. The Republicans of the
eastern part of the State. principally
News, We're for local option, while those
in the mountain districts were siren
uous for absolute prohibition. The plank
finally adopted is thoro local option,
with the provision that no liquor can
be sold in any district unless authorized
by vote of the whole County. This is
the most advanced step taken by any
party tltSlilld 81 iiic icSt VI
the platform charges the Democratic
Party with mismanagement and ex-
travagance; demands equal taxation for
every section and every man; the elm
ination of politics from the manage
ment of schools; Increased pay for the
teachers; lengthening of school terms
in school districts; for fair, non-parti-
san election law; improvement of roads
and employment of convict labor upon
them; more rigid bank examinations;
proper care of the Confederate veter-
ans, and the enactment of pure food
law.
Capt. William P. Kent, of Wytheville,
yersalIy conceived to be very strong
candidate. He is the son of former
Democratic Lieutenant-Governor of
Virginia, Gold Democrat, who be-
came Republican IS years ago, and
has been for some years Consul to
Guatemala. He is the only Federal
official on the State ticket, and has for
warded his resignation as Consul so as
to leave him free. He served as Cap
tain in the Spanish War under Gen.
Fitzhugh Lee. All parties say that the
ticket and platform are the strongest
which the Republicans of Virginia have
ever presented.
OF late years the Democrats have
usually carried Virginia by a plurality
of more than 10000. Last year Bryan
received s2,906 votes to 52.573 votes for
Taft, giving Bryan plurality of 30,343.
Three years before Swanson, Democrat
ic candidate for Governor, received 49,
544 votes to 45,790 for Lewis, the can
didate of the Republicans for Governor
and a very excellent man. The Demo-
Gratis have very decided majorities in
all Of the 10 Congressional districts ex-
cept the Ninth, in the extreme south
west. This district borders on east Ken
lucky and Tennessee, and last year gave
1858 votes for Campbell Slemp to
1852 for Byars, Democrat. The next
closest districts are the Seventh, where
the Democrats have 1000 majority, and
the Fifth, in which is the thriving man
ufacturing city of DanvilIe. AT the last
Congressional election the Democratic
candidate received 7,079 to 6,9SS for
the Republican. The Democrats are
now in a bitter fight between two rival
candidates for Governor, and the Re-
publicans hope to lake advantage of
this dissension.

expenditures. He would also know
that the pension roll to-day is big. be-
cause it represents much the biggest
war in human history, where there was
more fighting, more killing and more
wounding than in all the wars of Eu-
rope for century. We are naturally
very sorry that a man whose father
was so good a soldier should profit so
little by his fathers example and his
tory. But these things will happen in
the best regulated families.

THE NUTRrrIvE VALUE OF BEER

The English brewers have unwisely
sought to stem the rising temperance
tide in their country by alleging the
old fallaeies about the nutritive quail
ties of beer. This has attracted the
medical and other papers into liberal
expositions of the scientific proof of the
matter, which is highly detrimental to
the claims of the brewers. It is pointed
out that in order to get as much true
value as there is in glass of milk a
man would have to drink so much beer
that the alcohol in it would make him
stupidity drunk, if it did not bring him
to the verge of delirium tremens. The
statement of Baron Won Liebig, the
great German chemist. is recalled that
there is more nutritive value in the
flour that one can hold on the point of
table knife than in 40 quarts of the
best Bavarian beer. Gautier, the great
French chemist and authority on foods.
points out that beer contains an i'm
mense proportion of the salts that work
so disastrously upon the body, and are
one of the causes for the hardening of
VIC a. '@i'e" OIL" d .eHuehcy 10 apopieXy,
which proves so fatal to beer drinkers.
Sir William Roberts, in England, and
a number Of eminent German physiolo-
gists have carried on patient and long
experiments upon dogs and human be-
ings which have proven that beer is
highly detrimental to digestion, inter-
fering to a very marked degree with
the digestion of starch. which is the
largest component in everybody's food.

Prof. ]. L. Merriam, of the Teachers
College of the Missouri University, is
trying new experiment in teaching.
The idea is to let the child do the
things it wants to do, and thereby edu-
cate itself He will have none of the
"old bugbear of teaching arithmetic,
geography, spelling and grammar"
Numbers are taught by games. and
there is similar sugar-coating in all
the exercises. Prof. Merriam does not
call them Studies" because that would
be too formal and compulsory. We are
afraid that we shall have to write Prof
Merriam down in our fool class The
education that he is giving will be of
mighty little value to the child in its
future career. Life is work, and sue
cess is only attained by hard work and
stern discipline. If there were some
way of earning ones bread without the
sweat of ones brow and getting house
and clothes without putting in long
hours of toll, then Prof. Meriam's
method of education might be worth
considering. But the tears which are
shed by child in its compulsory learn
ing to read correctly, to master rules
of arithmetic. spell properly and to
speak and write the English language
properly make for the growth of his
character and for his success and hap
piness in future life. There is no abso-
lutely easy road to knowledge any more
than there is a comfortable and easy
way of raising field of potatoes or
laying up a brick wall. As the. old
Scotch maxim has it: Nothing comes
without work except dirt and long
nails"

The National Tribune presents as
candidate for a Carnegie medal Con-
ductor Chambers, of the Northwestern
Railroad, and he can count on all the
papers influence. His service to hui
manity fulfills the War Departments
requirements for a medal, Sin doing
something unusual and not in the claim
ants line of duty" 1t seems that he
was bringing back 100 Black Hills
excursionists, among whom were IS
mothers with babies. Near Rapid City,
S. d., the babies sent in general alarm
for an immediate supply of milk. This
was not available for reasons it is as
we'll not to discuss, and Conductor
Chambers, who is q married man, rose
to the situation with true heroic-like
promptness. Stopping his train near a
pasture, he took two train buckets, and,
singing out with a practiced eye some
high-bred cows available for his pur-
pose, began milking them. The farm
ers saw the man, and started with
pitchforks to prevent being robbed of
Jersey cream, but before thsy could ar
rive at the point Conductor Chambers
had filled his buckets and was making
fine time for the train, which he board
ed, and gave the signal to start, ieav-
ing the gentlemen with the pitchforks
looking with open mouths and probably
very profane anger at the disappearing
train. Eighteen young American citi-
zens had their little insides filled to
their supreme satisfaction, and possibly
preventing their being stunted in their
development into great usefulness to
their country and other fellow-citizens.

HUNT FOR PAN DANDY GIRL
HAS TOWN RUBBER NECKING'
Everybody on Her Trail to Earn
$50 Reward,

1t would appear hat everybody in
town Is on the trail of the Pan Dandy
Girl" And those who are mo- on the
trail are talking of this mysterious
young woman, who has been roaming
the streets of Newark, rubbing elbows
with pedestrians, talking to policemen,
visiting stores and occupying seats in
the theatres. And as yet no one has
penetrated her disguise and saluted her
with the greeting that means the earn
ing of the $50 reward.
Just think of it," said one young
woman today, she was at Broad and
Market streets yesterday afternoon,
and am sure that I saw her, but at
the last minute l forgot the words of
salutation, and l was afraid to speak
to her until l recalled the. words. And
Their when I did remember the words
she was out of sight, lost in the throng
at the -Four Corners"
City Hall officials talked today of the
visit yesterday of the Pan Dandy
GirI' to the City Hall. The elevator
man now remembers that he took the
myterious young woman to the second
floor, where is located the office of the
Mayor. He never dreamed, he said to-
day, hat he was so near the much
sought young woman
Today all the policemen ON the beat
have their weather eyes open for the
girl. There is the greatest rubber
necking among Market and Broad
| street pedestrians. The program of the
girl today takes her to the Elite Pic
ture Theatre, where her picture will be
thrown on a screen, and then the public
! will take up the hunt.

family In this city, and when asked
whether they were being aided by the
city at the present time, I replied they
were not. Then Mr.. Secretary told me
that the best person TO go to H.AId be
the oyerseer of the poor, that I would
find him in the basement offices. but
that about all they would do would be
to furnish coal and bread. Thanking
him for the information I hurriedly left.
for all the time we were talking 1 no
ticed that he was cycling me UP most
carefully. Perhaps he thought I was
seeking aid for myself.
Leaving the City Hall I stood and
waited for a car, when along came OFF,
Ger III. I am quite sure that was the
number. He quietly informed me that
if I wished to take a car would have
TO go TO the lower corner. Thanking
him, I did as he said, and boarded a
Forest Hill car, No. 1880. with conduc-
tor No. AIS. Stepping up on the step
I asked him if the car went by the
~postoffice. which he said it did. Leav-
ing the car by the Bee Hive store I
bumped into a lady that was going to
the rear as I started to leave by the
front door. She said: Pardon me-" L
only wish she had added more TO it
and completed the Pan Dandy saluta-
ton.
Had q jolly big crowd at Market and
Broad streets and all were watching
those that glanced upward to the new
building. Saw several ladies accosted
and it is very pleasing to notice how
good naturedly all have taken it so
far. and If the gentlemen will only
leave the ladies alone after they once
deny the salutation We will continue to
have a jolly time until some one ac-
costs me- Then it will be all over.
Kindly remember that l am under con-
tract 10 remain here until captured.
Another big crowd was after my
scalp at the postofice, and had they
not been so intent upon insisting that
the lady accompanied by the young
lady were me they might have noticed
me more closely. but instead they rush
ed me along with the crowd toward
Market street, and when I finally sue
ceeded in turning back I passed by
the office and made my escape. AT the

MARIN COMPANY !.
FORCED TO move
NEW WHARF BACK
Army Engineers Find Linoleum
Dock Encroached Ten Feet on
Passaic River Channel.

Moving back a new wharf ten feet
by order of the United States ARMY
Board of Engineers has just been the
experience of the Marin Linoleum Conn
pany. whose works on the Kearny side /.
of the Passaic river are. one of the
biggest in its line of products in the
country, with buildings and grounds
extending along Passaic avenue LESS
feet and reaching from that highway
eastward to Belgrove drive.
A short time ago the army board in
making a new'survey for the dredging
of the river observed a discrepancy of.
ten feet between the edge of the Nairn
C~ompany's 400-foot wharf and the pier
line established by the Federal gov
eminent. and called the lipoleum COM
pany's attention to the fact. The COM
pan at once Investigated the govern
ment's contention and found that an
error had been mad in building the
north end of the wharf too far out
into the river. !
AS the result of conferences between J
the company's surveyors and the gov-a
I'M engineers the Marin COMFY
pany agreed to back up and for
several weeks past workmen have been
busy pulling up long piles driven deep =
into the bed of the stream, cartingi
back the filling behind the heavy
plankihg and stringers, and forcing '
dow the piles into a new position. The
work is now finished and has been
20. KID" by the government officers,
The company's explanation is hat the,5
concern made the error through follow-9f
ing the lines laid down in the old
United States maps of the river; that
it affected only the upper end of the
wharf, and that as soon as the new
maps were issued the mistake was dis
covered and haste was made to rectify,
what was an unintentional narrowing
of the channel of the river. The COM
pany's big powerhouse stands on the
north end of the wharf which has been
reduced in size, but the alterations in
the wharf necessitated but few changes
around the powerhouse. which is now
closer to the waters edge.
No figures are obtainable as to the
cost of changing the wharf, but the
work has been SO considerable that
persons competent to judge say that
the changes have cost the company sew
eral thousand dollars. Nl@l
The dock-builders on the job went
out on strike this morning, not beaa
cause of any trouble with the Marin
people, but in sympathy with a strike /
at Edgewater, where the company hfsf
charge of the Marin contract, has am
other job on hand. 3
