as II does, that the machine is
badly split on the candidacy of
Judge Mann. Here in Clarke
county some OF the most influential
politicians. who have heretofore
been known as supporters Of the
machine are out-spokcn in their
opposition To Judge Mann. And
so Il is throughout the STATE. The
Journals special ,ays:
The report is current that the
Democratic organization leaders
may withdraw their support from
Judge Mann in the euhcraatorial
contest. His weakness and the
failure ri the usual supporters of

created 10y visiting Virginians. that
the State organization is consider
ably ratified. because of the sudden
increase Of Tucker strength, which
has developed To remarkable de-
gree in the course Of the past two
or three weeks.
Ii is admitted hy certain organi-
zatlon men that the weakness OF
Judge Mann has been a source If
surprise Ia many people support
ing him. The fact that Judge
Mann had been a railroad attorney
for SO many years and served in
the Virginia Senate for years while
he VAS counsel for the Norfolk and
Western Railway, voting against
employers liability bills and other
legislation which the railroads
opposed. was we'll known, and its
effect upon the voters was consid-
erably discounted.
But his record in other particu-
lars, notably during the Confed-
eracy, was much weaker than any
body had supposed, and the sue
ccSsful manner in which it has been
attacked has startled his hackers.
Ii appears that the weakness of
Judge Mann'S war record. and
the widespread belief that he
has, through organization leaders.

liquor people of the State, not to
agitate the temperance question
during his term of office, should he
be elected. has hurt him with the
masses of the Democratic voters to
a greater extent than all other
things combined.

advocating compulsory education.

is, L. leave the question to the
people of each county, also has a
tremendous reflex. 1t is predicted
that the Nottoway candidate will
not have much more to say upon
the subject of compulsory educa-
ton.
Every report which comes To
Washington through visitors from
the State are 10 the effect that the
strength of Mr.. Tucker is develop

prediction has been made that
Judge Mann will feel like with
drawing from the contest before
midsummer, although, of course,
nobody is authorized to speak for
him in such a matter.

Arithmetic For African Tribe.

At the recent meeting Of the Presby-
terrain general assembly at Denver the
reports on education showed that
$1S5,OO0 was spent in 1908 for work
among our people. Although this sum
seems large, 1t was not sufficient to
carry out properly the plans Of the ed
ucational department for Negro educa-
ton
The American TractSsociety present
ed a report through the Rev. Judson
Swift, secretary. showing that $780,
600 of the floating Indebtedness Of the
association was lifted IN the last four
months through careful management
Of finances.
He was emphatic in speaking OF the
necessity for tract work He told Of
the application Of a tribe in southern
Africa for an arithmetic printed in the
native tongue and said that, while the
furnishing Of text books to the natives
was a little outside the realm Of the
tract society. he presumed that until
the Africans were able to compute the
number of lions and elephants slain by
the ex-president they would be unwill-
ing to settle down to a study Of Chris

The canary's Toilet.

Just watch your canary after he has
had his daily bath. See how each sep
arate feather is cleaned, pulled and
looked over and how all the loose ones
are taken out and dropped. All this is
done by the bill, for a birds neck is so
flexible that It can be turned In all di.
rections, but the bill cannot reach the
head, and so Mr.. Canary uses his foot
With 1t he combs his hair first on one
side, then on the other, scratching very
fast, as II to get all the tangles out
Then he uses his hair oil, for, although
complexion powders are not known in
the bird world, hair oil certainly is.
Ladies' and gentlemen alike carry II
about with them. They have a little
pouch or sack on the back near the
tail for the purpose. When Nine. Bird
wishes to use 1t she squeezes it out
with her beak, Just as you would press

on her back just above her wings and
rubs her head against IT, turning her
neck in ali directions until every feath-
CT In her head Is straight and shining.

Like a faint echo Of neglected party
campaign cries and Of the forgotten

which was introduced by Congressman
Bennett Of New York some time ago
providing for reduction Of represen.

Is a small one. 1t falls upon dull ears,
but 1t is a challenge nevertheless to
all Republicans in executive and Iegis-

Fortified though he may be by party

this policy he defies presidential pow

must know that In speeches in New

virtually approved the notification of

Negroes shall be appointed to Office in
opposition TO the wishes OF the whites.
He must know that of all the Repub-

holders he is the only one who has
had the courage to adhere to the pub
lshed principles Of his party. he must
know that no important Republican
newspaper will venture to support him.
