JUDGE RHEA FOR GOVERNOR.

Up to this writing three of Col.
Alfred B. Williams straw governors
have gone up in smoke-Echols, Lee
and Fairfax. Our sympathy. if not our
support, goes out for Colonel Williams
in his search for business" governor.
Keep up the good work. The State OF
Virginia is full of gloriously great men,
and this canvass is bringing them to
the front.-Hampton Monitor.
However, if we must have a third
man, there is one who in our view
would meet all the News-Leader require
ments. and make one of the ablest ex.
ecutives Virginia has ever had. We
refer to Judge William F. Rhea, of
Bristol, now a member of the Corpora.
tion Commission. A successful business
man, forceful leader, whose personal
and moral courage has been proven ir
many hard fought battle in behalf OF
Democracy, against formidable odds
whose integrity of character has sue
cessfully withstood the unjustifitablt
and wanton assaults of political enmit,
and factional prejudice, and who as /,
member of the Corporation Commission
is now recognized as one of the abl,
jurists of the Commonwealth. If tn,
News-Leader wants something sur,
enough in the shape Of third candidate
there is the man. Let the News-Leade

DUTY OR PLEASURE?

from oneof Mr.. Genn'ss
At the crossing of Efes pathways
Wearing a silken a her
In her hands filed
Pleasure unfurled
By her side her ay-clad deeper
While the heavy carried Duty steny
Ah mhough I with Pleasure content;
Then she moved with step majestic and followed where
On she led me down the valley Ger the hills through
Oft lost the heeting vision. then flashed
On followed still undaunted, thinking of the BORE
Till at last overlook her her
Quick she turned with scornu
But alas from each center kissing oed down,
In hands she thrust her
In their places fell the tearops cruel
Then glanced fair passed.
AH who follow pleasure only will like find
That her jewel box empty and her pain
Turn thouback and seek sister, joy follows
Back turned my footsteps, and Duty way
But of roseate spendor replaced
And the she laid quick changed crown,

WKAT'LL HAPPEN NEXT.

BY pressing the key of a wireless
electric apparatus in his home in Evans
vile, Indiana, Charles Williams, aged
1S years, caused an explosion to take
place three miles away. The blast was
of such strength that it shook buildings
in the city.
Young Williams is the inventor OF
both the wireless apparatus by which
the explosion was caused and the ex-
plosive, which is a new kind of powder,
the making of which is his secret. He
says the new explosive is 40 times as
strong as dynamite, and that with his
apparatus he can cause an explosion
as far away as Chicago. The blast that
shook the city took only three ounce:
of the explosive.

SHOWING UP THE aMACHINE,"
Pieces Found Here and There MAY
Construct a State one After all

Some of our exchanges are eternallv
talking about machine candidates. We
want to know who forms the so called
political machine. If they are the Dem
ocratic office holders of the State and
not suited for the positions they hold
why did the Democratic voters elect
them? Governor Swanson was a ma
chine candidate. Martin was machine
candidate. The Corporation Commits
SION belongs to the machine. all the
Circuit Court judges and all of the State
officers at Richmond are merely cogs in
the machine. The Democratic partv is
machine If all this is wrong why not
break up the old party and put the Re-
publicans in charger Houston Record

Ii Is very amusing to see the straits
the opponents of Judge Mann find them
selves IN. For instance, they talk it in
some quarters that he has all the tenn
perance and church people behind him,
and In other parts they will charge that
he has the machine" and the whiskev
bosses behind him. AN ardent Tucker
ite correspondent from Richmond to the
the Was hington Herald now wants to
create the impression that Mr.. Tucker
will get big part of the so-called ma
chine, his correspondence impressing
one that the anti-Mann people are lat
sea" and cannot agree as to sentiment
and conditions. In an effort to show
disaffection in the Mann ranks, this
Richmond writer says;
The writer visited the City Hail and
the Capitol building and State Library.
where are located the offices of both
State and municipal officials, to ascer-
tam now they were lining up for the
two gubernatorial candidates. The
city officials are generally found riding
IN the band wagon, but upon this visit
the following conditions were found TO
exist:
'Of six judges in the City Hall five

partincnL few Mann adherents could be

10 patrolmen, will turn out good

cannot be SO easily guaged, but from
those who should know it is learned
that Tucker is the choice of a majority.
Unofficially. the City Council is known

"Of course there are many Mann ad-
vocates among the plum-holders. This
Is TO be expected, but what is not to
be expected and what is, therefore, sur
prising Is that not withstanding the
tact that it is generally understood
that the officeholders are organization

DANGER LURKs IN OPPORTUNITIES.
Too Many Alluring Chances to
Make Fortunes May Wreck a
Mans Career.

A very ancient story says: "a far.
mer had drove of hogs which he as.
sembled for their meals by knocking
on fence with sticks or stones. One
day the waiting herd detected the ia.
miliar sound, and started off pell-mel
in the direction whence it came. Be
fore they reached the place, however
to their vast astonishment they also
heard it from the other side and turned
and ran pell-mell toward that. And &C
they ran, first in one direction and ther
in another, until, when the farmer him
self came down and raped upon the
fence. they were so completely tuckered
out by chasing the Elusive signals of
red-headed woodpeckers drilling trees
for worms that they had no strength

In this great American republic op-
portunities are practically inexhausti-

gravest peril that we have to meet.
While we are rushing after, or else are
actually employed in trying to utilize,
some golden opportunity, we hear a
dozen others, some silver, others bra

There lies your danger, friendl Can
you turn deaf ear to them? Can you
settle down to till your farm while the
calls of the city streets are sounding
in your ear? Can you grit your teeth
and hang on to your job at the forge or
the loom, in the dry-goods store or the
millinery shop, while the gold fields of
the Klondike are beckoning you their
way? Can you leave your money on
deposit in the savings-bank while pro-
moters are Haunting dazzling invest
ments in stocks before your eyes?
How many people / myself have

SOME CAMPAIGN FUN.

EXTRACTS from Norfolk Ledger -Dispatch.l
Judge Mann is now being interviewed
by some of the Richmond reporters
upon the subject of his alleged dealing
in stocks in that city.
While we should judge that the sub
ject was rather a delicate one for
Richmond to discuss. still that city has
fairly yearned for some gayety and ex-
element in the campaign, and the
stock gambling suggestion is now fur
nishing a little of it. In an interview
with Judge Mann, which the News
Leader announces as Exclusive" we
find the following:
''Did you ever gamble in stocks?''
was the question. Judge Mann re-
piled: 3It is not true that gambled
in stocks have bought stocks at the
Office of Scott & Stringfellow in Rich,
mond, the transactions were legitimate
! bought my shares and paid for them
bona fde stocks, not margins"
cit is said that you gambled in mar
gins; that you had transactions in mar
gins at the office of H. w. Gooslwyn
Petersburg; and that you carried oil
similar dealings in Richmond. Z"
never entered H. w. Goodwyn's plac
in sll my life" replied Judge Mann.
1t is also printed that when told tha
Mr. Tucker might question him on tn
stump about this subject Judge Mani
said: ''I think that would be a yer,
improper question for Mr.. Tucker t
ask"

NOT OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER.

innovation in Virginia journalism A
most funny observation for a veteran
observer. The Index-Appeal should be
able to remember a few years back
when it was almost the universal rule
in Virginia and elsewhere for news
papers to make the news fit the desires
of their editors and the supposed tastes
of their readers.
Cannot the Index-Appeal recall when
in reports of joint debates, for instance,
the opposition orator always was fiayeo
and skinned, scorched, scored and over
whelmed and when the man on Our Side
or representing Our Party invariably
won brilliant victories over an opponen,
whose puny efforts aroused alternate

ARE YOU A PARAN0IAC?
Stop and Think, and Then Decide.

StVp onu ItnitN, ditu tttCu bCtIuCs
There is a nervous disease called
paranoia.
The belief that some one is trying to
undo you is its first symptom. The
holding of such thought feeds the
malady.
We believe things first and look for q
proof later, and when an idea is once
fixed in mans mind that some one is
his enemy reasons as light as air are to
him confirmation as strong as Holy
Writ. The individual who thinks he is
hated will be hated in reality very
shortly. Hate is catching,
The person who thinks another hates
him is. while in that mood, most un-
lovable. Love only responds to love.
Incipient paranoia manifests itself in
suspicion. distrust and jealousy. Acute
paranoia reveals itself in pronounced
hallucinations and efforts in the line Of
revenge, even to taking the lives of
persons entirely disinterested.
Every police captain is familiar with
that phase of psranoia, where man
with staring eyes and cold sweat upon
his forehead, rushes in and demands
protection from supposed enemies that
are upon his track. The psychologist
can look down the paranoiac's past and
see the time when the disease was only
the germ of distrust or a glimmering
suspicion.
Goethe said: al have in me the germ
of every crime" And so are we all
potential paranoiacs. To harbor the
thought of wrong is to warm and vivify
the germ.
In ncertain physical conditions we think
less of people than in others. know a
man who hates everybody and every
thing until about 10 o'clock in the
morning. BY noon he is quite approach
able and for an hour or so after dinner
he is usually gentle and generous.
Does not the amount of wrong and
injustice in the world vary with US all,
according to the time of day and our
physical condition?
We do not fear anything but evil
The fear ofevil is largely. if not en-
tirely morbid and, therefore, insane
idea.
From these things gather that each
one is really the creator of the world in
which he lives. And. what is more,
every man creates in his own image.
Without an evil thought there never
would have been any evil in the world
Danish evil thought and thought of evil,
and there will not now be any evil in the
world.
The thought of evil is born of fear.
Paranoia as disease is the direct re-
suit of fear-we fear some one is going
to harm Us to take away our influence.
power, money, love; and then we hate.
Hate is manifestation of fear, and is
therefore a species of cowardice. Jeal-
ousy is fear.
Fear affects the circulation, even at
times to stopping instantly and forever
the action of the heart. A faulty cir
culation affects every organ and, most
of all, the organs of digestion. And
impaired digestion at once affects the
mind. Impaired digestion means i'm
paired thought.
The treatment we receive ut the
hands of others is very largely the re-
Election of our mental attitude toward
them.
Prefix a ''d'' to evil and you get the
word Devil; take an "o'' out of good
and you get God.
AS man thinketh in his heart,
so is he. Think no evil. New York

SOME BUSTER BROWN PHILOSOPHY

Tige says he is sorry for me. Pshaw!
I'm not sorry for myself. As soon as
a man feels sorry for himself he is a
goner. Listen, brother no one can keep
his mind on , things at once; you can't go
east and west at the slme time. When
you feel sorry for yourself you are
looking backward. Don't do it; the sail
or climbs mast and doesn't look be-
hind 1t makes you dizzy to look back.
Get your eye on your destination and
keep it there. Faith. hope. nor charity
never looks back. You can { attain any
thing by worrying or in lccision. No one
who has his mind on his own hard luck
and trouble ever thinks it is his fault
but it Is. Let the past go.
