Having noted carefully the results
of several of Billy Sundays revival
campaigns this writer is of the firm
belief that no good has ever resulted
to any community in which he mas
held his revivals. The only good that
has ever manifested itself is the
financial good" to Sunday himself
While President Taft was gathering
in the keys to the various cities Tis-
tied by him on his recent tour. he
certainly must have discovered and
secured the keys to several situations
out here in the west. And now it
devolves upon him to use those keys
wisely and promptly
We often wonder il the woman
decorated with countenance calci-
mine, rouge cheeks and lips. and
peroxide hair. really makes herself
believe that she is fooling anybody,
and that she is not ridiculed and
laughed at by nine out of ten who see
her. II she does her credulity is
simply marvellous.
Say, you old fellows who are
scrlmplng, saving and denying your
selves and good wives comforts and
pleasures that you have earned and
should have, that you may leave a
good-sized pile to your children. did
you ever stop to reason on the mat
ter? Did you never think that If
your sons have as much good sense as
you have had that they will be amply
competent to take care of themselves
whether you leave them anything or
not? And if they have not that they
VIII squander whatever you may
leave them? As to the daughters if
they marry men with as good sense
as you have they will be well and
amply cared for, and if they marry
the other kind what you leave them
will be squandered also. Really. now
is 1t wise to deny yourself that you
may leave TO your children? Think
it over.

England, Finland and Colorado
Springs are having trouble over their
budgets. That which troubles most
countries and cities is that they have
no budgets to have trouble over. And
good many people are in the same
condition-their budget is represent
ed by deficit. We know.
In one way the very liberty of the
people of this country is detrimental
TO many of them. Many man will
hold to an erroneous opinion rather
than surrender the right to hold an
opinion of his own. He stands on his
right though wrong he may be.
Often 1t happens that a man who is
badly mixed is very good mixer
From the evidence" already in il
is evident that either Cook or Peary
both or neither, reached the North
pole as claimed. This is official but
not final.

What IL Was.

A negro preacher was conducting
his flock through York town. and had
led them to the government reserva-
ton where a tall shaft commentaries
the victory of the American and
French forces over CORVALLIS. One
of his disciples pointed TO the figure
of the Angel of Peace at the summit
OF the column and asked:
What might that statue be, Brother
Williams?"
Brother William was stumped, but
would never confess it.

said, is statue of Massr Abe Lin

VOTE

Scattering unofficial reports
brought in by visitors TO the State |
fair and occasional remarks by the
weekly newspaper indicate a dis
position among some Virginia voters
TO stay away from the polls next e
lection day.
We are surprised to hear OF this
feeling in the country. Here in
Richmond we were opposed to the
nomination OF Judge Mann certainly
as strongly as anybody in the State
add probably tor more reasons.
Yet. in Richmond We hear nothing
ola bolt or a sulking. Our people
are convinced that the interest Of the
State would be injured by repub-
licsu success. Therefore. they will
not only decline to support the re
publican nominees but viii vote sol
idly for the democratic ticket. This
city which gave the largest majority
10 the State against Judge Mann for
democratic nominee certainly Will
give him the largest mauori.y for
/ governor.
Let the dissatisfied consider two

nominees IS half a vote tor the re-
