Dear Sir--I am expressing not only
my own feelings, but those of many
other Young Republicans who believe
in q downward revision as the only
true fulfillment Of Republican pledges.
when say to YOU In all seriousness
that will never vote another Repub-
as 1t should be in the interests OF the
consumer and for the relief of the
masses from high prices. Hereafter
I'll vote the Democratic ticket. You
may make such use OF this letter as
you choose.
Yours truly.

port a circulating library by public
taxation was in New York State. 1t
was provided by the Legislature that
any county or municipality could es-
tablish a library and levy taxes for its
support, but soon 1t was discovered
that the smaller political subdivisions
were not willing to tax themselves for
such purposes. and thereafter the state
took direct charge of the matter.
The wonderful range which the mod
ern card catalogue takes is illustrated
by the fact that in the classiica ton
which now obtains, there are more than
20, 900 subjects. With even so great a
range the regular user of a card cata-
logue will still discover other subjects
which might advantageously be incor-
porated In the list.
The Library of Congress has lent its
hand TO the movement for uniformity
in library practice. and one of its stan
Is Chairman of the Committee that Is
labortng to secure absolute uniformity
In cataloguing. The changes which
have been recommended by the Library
of Congress have been adopted by it,
and inasmuch as it supplies cards to
other libraries, 1t has proved a great
factor in promoting this desirable end.
| Next year there is to be held in Ger
many a conference of the librarians of
the whole civilized world, and the uni
form practices which have been agreed
upon bye England and America are ex-
pected to be adopted as the world
standard.
Much progress has been made in the
system OF cataloguing, but there are
still things left to be desired by the
| ordinary investigator. Often a single
| book Will discuss a half-dozen sub
| jects, and no subject catalogue will
sufIice to disclose the true contents of
the work, Yet the Investigator will
not be able to locate what he Is look

Japanese Cruisers Coming.
japanese Consul General Uyeno has
received the following cablegram from
Toxic:
Japanese warships win arrive there
April l and viii remain for ten days.
The warships are two in number,
comprising training squadron which
is to visit Honolulu, San Francisco,
Seattle and Portland. The vessels will
not go to Panama. The warships are
the Soya and Aso, formerly the Rus
sian cruisers Bayan and Variag, both
prizes of the late war between Russia
and japan. The Variag was sunk in
action in the harbor of Chemulpo, Ko-
rea, and the Bayan went down before
Port Arthur The squadron will be
under the command Of Admiral Ichiji.
Local japanese are planning many en-
tertainments in honor of the officers
and crews, and there will be official
honors by the Japanese Consul.
Admiral Ichiji was one Of the COM
manders close to Admiral Togo
throughout the war, and he is said to
have been aboard the Mikasa during
the memorable fight in the Japan
Strait when the Russian feet was
shattered.

is a close friend of President Taft and
is reported to have done much service
an behalf Of the President during the

for Oahu was much sought after among
the corps officers. Paymaster Ray s
clerk, E. S. Gee, arrived ON the trans
port Thomas. Payrolls can now be
made out and completed here, doing
away with sending the rolls to San

Marine Battalion Parade.
The first formal parade, review and
inspection of the Marine Corps battal-
ion of Camp Very was held yesterday
forenoon shortly after ten o'clock at
Atkinson Park. The Hawaiian band
was in attendance and took part in the
formal exercises, the long experience
of Captain Berger and the bandsmen
causing them to fall into their portion
of the ceremony with the ease only ac-
quired through long practise.
The fine parade ground was fringed
with many spectators, large number
of autos being there. Many of the
spectators were tourists from the Moana
and Young Hotels, and many Navy
and Marine Corps ladies were in at
tendance.
At 1915 the adjutant and a guidon
bearer arrived on the grounds and the
standards were posted. Then the com
panies arrived-four of them--and
halted on the grounds. Then the band
played and the first company got into
motion in company front, and each
company swung into line, marching
around the grounds and coming to a
halt in battalion trout, the band at the
right. The battalion went through the
ceremony of each company commander
reporting his company to the adjutant
who turned the command over to Major

need, d just outside of our railway sta

need, just outside of our railway sta
tons
Some such scheme as the above can
be readily done, and is well within
the county's means and will allow
the county to improve its roads, and
does not keep it from voting a bond
issue when it shall be needed,
besides giving the county the chance
TO find the roads best suited to the
needs of different localities. An
equalization of the state taxes may
come in few years, and should this
occur, the whole of .Southside Virginia
that is at present most injured by the
present unjust rate of assessment, will
be able to have greater road funds
without raise of our present total sum
of taxation, that will no doubt be urg-
ed on the incoming legislature, by the
Southside Governor elect, the county
is assured of this, since neither he nor
his opponent mentioned the equaliza-
ton of tax assessment in their recent
campaign.
One other thing is especially need
ed by Prince Edward in the way OF
legislation-a law that will allow the
road assessor to compel the men who
cut up roads with lumber wagons, to
drag every road so cut up at least
once a week with a king drag, and to
use broad tires on their wagons. The
damage that the county now suffers
from these lumber wagons is not to
be borne. The county confidently
expects Mr.. Ewing to see that this IS
remedied for Prince Edward county
at least. NlAIOk.

9Th. The county desires to utilize
all of the State aid it can get.
The county's present resources for
these purposes are 500 per anum
for roads and bridges. SO the first
thing to do will be to provide a larg-
er revenue, increase the road tax to
some 80 cents on the hundred dollars,
this, with present funds, will give
some $40, 600 a year. Use this $40, DOC
in employing road forces, such as
we now have, but with a difference,
have one road overseer paid some
$500 per annum for whole COUNTY, and
foreman at some $40 per month, with
each of the road forces. Have all of
the bridges and culverts built by the
road forces and not by contract, as at
present. Work one road force, of
foreman, mules and handsin Hamp-
den, Lockett and Buffalo districts for
eight months in every year, the whole
of the three forces working in Leigh
and Farmville districts for two months
each. This will give each district
nearly the same units of labor. Let
these separate road force grade and
make sand clay roads, all of the time
not necessary in patching. The above
forces can make in each district five
miles of sand-clay, gravel clay, or
gray soil road year, by building roads
where grading was not necessary, and
would in a. few years have most of our
bad roads good. In addition, let the
county procure $40, 600 with which to
buy a first class road outfit. A rotary
crusher large and heavy enough to crush
Niger head rock, no crusher strong
enough for this has ever been used in
this county, a good traction engine,
that could be used as road roller,
and or s wide wheeled wagons to
use for hauling rock with the traction
engine. this outfit to be used in keep
ing our macadam roads in repair, or
in building new macadams where
macadam would be preferable to sand

annum, obtained from these two sour
ces, one half being the county levy,
the other the county fund expended
for bridges, culverts and opening of
new roads, and this keeps a road force
at work the year round protecting our
dirt highways, in a very inadequate
manner, on account of the insufficient
cy of the force, and so long as the
work is done in this way Prince Ed
ward will not make any more progress,
for the Farmville fund, as we have
seen above, is exhausted for some time.
This being the case, it were well
for the county to work out some me-
thod that could be accepted by all of
the districts, that will give promise of
steady improvement in each district,
and one that will not be burden on
taxation upon their sparse population.
Besides, this scheme of progress must
be so devised as to expend yearly all
the funds that the county may obtain
from the State.
Prince Edward county is one of the
many counties in the State that has
special road law. Under this law the
present road tax is 10 cents on the
hundred dollars, the supervisors being
empowered by the law to apply surp-
lus county funds to road funds. This
has always been done, to some ex-
tent, but to no large amount, the cost
Of building and repairs of bridges TAX
ing a large sum. Prince Edward
county has no debt bonded, nor of
any kind and it does not want any
debt if it can be avoided.
Prince Edward must have a larger
road revenue than it now has, if it
wants to keep up its present macadam
roads, if it wishes any new road, or
even if it wants to keep its present
dirt roads in repair.
Now to recapitulate the county wish
es:

How to Handle Fine Carriages.

HOW 10 F1anClc Tlnc OdIiidScss
The following instructions are given
by an experienced carriage builder In
reference to the care Of fine carriages
Freshly vanished carriages should be
washed frequently aud exposed to the
air in the shade and should not be COW
cred until the varnish has become
hard. Mud allowed TO dry upon fresh
varnish will leave spots, and exposure
TO ammonia will destroy fresh varnish.
Plenty Of water should be used and
great care taken that it is not driven
into the body of the carriage, to the
injury Of the lining. For the body
panels a large soft sponge must be
used and when saturated squeezed
over the panels, and thus by the flow
ing down Of the water the dirt Will be
softened and run off harmlessly. Care
should be taken to wipe the surface
dry with soft channels leather. Never
use tie same sponge and channels for
panels which are used for running
gear. Never use soap on vanished
surfaces, and only take OF the grease
and dirt around the hubs and axles.

How to Save Gas on Ironing Days.

When using a gas stove to heat the
irons for ironing much gas can be
saved by buying a tin pan large
enough to fit over the number OF fat
irons used. A dishpan is excellent for
this purpose. Make a hole in the bot
tim Of the pan and fasten a holder
here. Small wooden knobs can be
bought for 5 cents at any hardware
store. The knob should be fastened
on the outside Of the pan. Use this
pan to cover the irons with, and they
will keep the right heat with the gas
turned much lower. You will be sur
prised at the amount Of gas this viii
save and how hot the irons will be TO
work with. 1t Is not difficult to re-
move the pan when the irons need
changing, as the wooden handle will
not become hot.
