WR trust that orr good friends
will not forget the Journal. man
altogether in their joyous antici-
patton OF the approaching Hollr
day season. He needs money
just as every one else does to en-
JOY the season properly. We
carry on our books about nine
hundred accounts which are now
due and which we would be
nightly pleased to see settled.
A hint to the wise is sufficient and
needless to say the JOURNAL man

MIR. Tafts last message to Con-
gre has been dubbed by many
(; Observation-Disclosures
Willie this is in the main true
there are about it some features
That deserve commentator and
luther that invite severe criticism.
Probably the most praisewOrthy
thing about the message IS the
emphasis which is laid upon the
need Of economy. Truly both the
word and its practice have been
SO long forgotten by our chief
executives (RoOsevelt IN particu-
lar that it is with a feeling SINH
AR tothat Of welcoming an old
friend who has not been seen fox
long time that we hail its ap-
pearaSce in that quarter. We
can only hope that Mr.. Taft will
practice what he breaches.
The most obvious faults Of the
message are its sins of omission.
Though pledged to the reform
policies Of Roosevelt. we find
nothing in his message advocating
the restriction Of .he power and
',capacityfcr evil Of the great trusts.
Indact you find nothing OF criti-
cism CT anybody, except perhaps
President Zelaya now in South
America. This lack of individ-
.ual opinion and of self assertine-
ness i'll this message lend proba-
bility to the opinion expressed
by many that it was toned down
and all such portions cut out by a
party Of politicians who reviewed
tibet Re it became public and who
feared that the expression of the
opinion of this honest man might
harm their party.

The noble fight now being
,waged by the Virginia Anti u
sberculosis Association against that
dread enemy of the human race,
is worthy of the support and as
sistance Of all good people. No
disease known to man destroys
more useful lives in the course Of
eacheyear than consumption. Not
only does it destroy these lives
but it leaves their little ones in
all probability weakened by a
tendency to the Same malady.
The fight made though these
Red Cross Stamps may seem
small and trifling but this is not
true in reality for even as drops
of water unite to form the mighty
socean. these little stamps used by

M SPs9pSsat to accomplish great
good. IT,. Nish the Assoc ,tion
