Old Point Comfort, Newport News

roe thousands will view the imposing
spectacle. Steamers. launches and

be pressed into service to carry the
throngs who want to see the fleet at
close range.
As the first vessel of the column
enters the Roads the reverberating
boom of cannon will speed thunder
ing and echoing over the far-famed
waters where nearly half a century
ago the Monitor and the Merrimac
met in the memorable conflict which
brought into being the armored craft

continuous roar of salutes will be
kept up while the great fighting ma
chimes, in their gayest holiday dress,
their sides manned with bluejackets
at attention, steam past the presi-
dents yacht and take up their posi-
tons in the safe anchorage of the
Roads. The spectacle is well calcu-
lated to form a fitting climax to the
most remarkable trip ever recorded
in naval annals.

COMING METEoRIC SHOWERS
Due November 12, 13 and f4-Not So Great Display as in Some
 Years

According to scientific authority, the Leonid showers of meteors are due to fall on the nights of November 12, IS and 14-
 This year the earth cuts the orbit or the meteors at perhaps its most sparsely studded spot. and the display will therefore not amount to much.
 The last display was in 1899. but it was disappointment when com pared with former manifestations of the periodic maximum. The meteors are probably little pebbles. the larger about an ounce, or perhaps two ounces. in weight. and spaced in the densest part of the swarm at inter vals of one or two miles asunder every about 100000 miles. which. however, is a mere nothing compared with its enormous length The width is such that the earth, when 1t passes oblique- ly through the stream. is exposed to the downpour of meteors for about five hours.

new road properly to season before it is subjected to the rigid stress of travel I think it only fair to say that the broad and liberal policy of the State in the construction of a splendid system of highways and ex- pending millions of dollars in the inn Provement of our roads. and also in allowing non-reSidents to come in and occupy and enjoy our highway sys- tenn, should prompt these gentlemen to keep within the law. and they should be informed that no violation of the law will be permitted. I am reason ably safe in this conclusion. having watched as a student the destructive forces at work upon our State roads. and having noted that if an automobile is not travelling to exceed the speed limit. the injury of the road resolves itself into a minimum.
 There are then two essentials to the proper preservation of State roads. One is time to permit bonding be- fore being subjected to "the rigid stress of traver'; the other. restriction of automobiles to the speed limit, by which MT. Macdonald probably means g miles an hour. A legitimate infer ence is that after a State road has had time to "set or season.. damage by automobile travel at p miles an hour is reduced to the minimum; in other words, such travel on such a road by even the heaviest of automobiles at a rate approximating a mile in two min- utes. is of but slight injury. It has long been argued that heavy automo- piles running at even moderate speed do great damage to nacadam roads. Now, Highway ComInissioner Macdon-' aid who knows. or should know. where of he speaks. takes the contrary view. The Farmer has long held that an automobile running at a reasonable speed does less injury to a road than does a loaded. steel-tired. horse-drawn vehicle It is gratifying to find that Mir. Macdonald. with his superior facil- ities of observation. entertains a some what similar opinion.

DOGS PRIVILEGED ANIMALS
CBoston watchman)


 We have often wondered how 1t has come to pass that dogs are the only living beings both protected by law and yet not liable to law. No other animal. and not even man enjoys such unrestricted liberty as dogs If a dog is actually doing damage to life it can be killed, but not otherwise Dogs are not subject to the law of trespass. they can run over your land and i'm wade your houselot and you have no recourse except to drive them of. when they may return as soon as your back Is turned No other domestic animal enjoys such license. If your land is invaded by a horse or a COW .or a pig. the animal can be impound- ed and the owner must pay a sum be- fore he can recover possession of his property. Not so dogs They come and go at their own will without re- straint- Cats take the same liberties: but you can kill a cat if you do not want it around. and not be liable for damages. but not SO with dogs: for the law has decided that dogs are property, but cats are not.

HOW A GREAT CENTRAL
 BANK COULD BE USED

In his recent speech which was evil gently intended to educate the people upon the matter of currency-revision in accordance with his views and pur- poses. Senator Aldrich. chairman of the Monetary Commission. stated in substance that, while taking away the right of note-issuance from the na- tional banks and conferring it exciu- Fively upon a -grea central bank. he would favor leaving undisturbed their present credit system-that is. their power of note-discount. He did not. however, state whether or not the grea central bank should be given the same credit power. though the natural presumption is in the affirmative. for directly or through other banks its business could not show a. profit.
 Assuming that this great central bank would be given this credit power. its exclusive right of note-issuance. carrying the privilege of contraction or expansion. combined with its enormous deposits of government funds. includ- ing the receipts of postal savings banks if established. would make it the most potent agency in the monetary world. How potent may be estimated from the operationns of the Bank of the United States. of which President An drew Jackson said. in his annual mes sage to, Congress in 1883:
 .-The efforts of the bank to control public opinion through the distresses . of some, and the fears of others, are equally apparent, and if possible more objectionable. By a curtalment of its accommodations. more rapid than any emergency requires. and even while it retains specie to an almost unprece- dented amount in it's vaults. it is att tempting to produce great embarrass- ment in one portion of the community while through presses sustained by it's money. it attempts by unfounded alarms to create panic in alL'
 If a comparatively small central bank could work such evil in 1883. what could not a great central bank do in these days? It could "control public opinion through the distresses and fears of the people: it could promote excessive speculation by expanding the currency; it could precipitate money panics like that of October. 1907. by contracting the currency; it could bring about general bankruptcy in business circles by calling in it's loans and refusing to make others. There is hardly a limit to the evils which such a. bank. so endowed. could bring upon the country whenever its pur- poses. political or otherwise. could thus be best subserved- It could. at will, perpetuate a political party in power. and such is quite. probably the pur- pose of Senator Aldrich.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1909-11-10

Forty-five farmers of Goshen have formally agreed to allow no shooting, fishing. berry picking. picnicking or nut gathering on their property. and have given due notice to such effect Their lands are estimated to cover at least one-half Of the area of the town. Violation of the warning brings the offender under the penalties of the trespass law. and the landowner can make the arrest.
 It is a fact that hunters. fishers. berry-pickers and nut-gatherers often do material damage to the property of landowners. By careless use of matches. they sometimes start forest fires; they often let down and do not replace the bars between lots, thus allowing cattle to forage upon crops; some are careless with firearms, and the farmers live stock is occasionally found wounded In many other ways they damage the land owners prop erty and. when remonstrated with, some of them are. inSoleut and abusive It is not to be wondered at that many farmers post their lands There are, however. many hunters, fishers etc. who arc regardful of rights
 
 and properties. but they necessarily suffer with these others whose one idea is their personal convenience and pleasure.
 On the other hand. the State ex- bends much money in stocking the forests with game birds. and the streams with fish This money comes from the people. but the birds may find their way into "posted- lands. and the fish into posted" streams. Hunters and fishers claim that this Is an injustice. and there is some basis for their argument that they are taxed to provide birds and fish, and then forbidden to shoot the one or catch the ether. There is certainly a degree of inconsistency between the expenditure of State money and the trespass law.
 But if State money were not thus expended. there would soon be neither birds nor fish. and if the trespass law did not protect the farmers interests from damage. they would have no ade- quate remedy for very manifest evils. It is a difficult problem.

Washington friends of President Taft have. says a special to the New York Tribune. become ''gravely alarm ed'' by "occurrences which may prove nothing but a sequence of coincidences. but which. in their coordination, strongly resemble a chain of strikingly significant political events. They have become convinced of the exist ence of a far-reaching and shrewdly organized political movement, ewhich has for it's purpose the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt in the national convention of 1912. Whatever con clusion may be reached after a careful examination of the evidence which the Presidents friends are prepared to submit to him. it is obvious. even from a cursory examination of their case. that taken in it's entirety it lends some color to their proposition that in the next three years the history of a like period ending with the Republican Ma tional convention of 1880 is about to repeat itself'' Then.

LOGICAL
SELF LOVE ovERTHRowN
CHarry Franklin Porter)

Not to proclaim but to do; not to relate but to mediate; not to perceive greatness but to aspire goodness; not to seek fame but a better faith; not to assume anything but to hope all things-this is the humble spirit that gaineth all things. To prate of past glories to predict future ones; to dis course constantly of personal prowess. to search out new ways of self-glorifi- cation-this is to invite disorder. dis many. and defeat It is the vanity of vanities of which cometh naught-
 The true Spirit-that which looses sight of self in the pure of filgence of the common good-goeth ever on to greater and more glorious destinies- Seeking neither notoriety nor reputa- ton, and caring for neither praise nor condemnation, desiring only and wholly the approval of his own inner counsel to such a soul. simple and inornate, gravitates all the goodness and beauty in the universe.

People Should Keep
 Power In Own Hands

Editor of the Farmer:
 Sir-I read that former Mayor Lee Is in favor of fixing the firemen's pay by charter in order to get the matter out of the hands of the Common Coun- ell. I think every citizen whether he favors or opposes the increase of the firemen's pay should oppose Mayor Lees plan to take the matter to Hart ford and have the charter tinkered- This removes the matter further away from the people of this city and makes 1t impossible for the electors here to use their ballots with effect There Is TO doubt that Mir. Lees desire to rush to Hartford with all manner of charter changes to lessen the power of the council was one of the elements in securing him such a small vote He created the Permanent Paving Com mission with six year terms for its members and the only way the people can correct any evils that may come from that source Is by electing three Mayors in succession Any member of the Board of Aldermen can be re moved by the people at the end of two years.
 Then again it has been proven, in New York State that it is easier to get the pay raised by the Legislature than through the Common Council of New York city, although 1t possibly matters where the voters can get at them.
 And then. charming friends of the thoughtless cult. if the people think the firemen's pay is too high they can have it reduced by electing Aldermen pledged to reduction.
 But can the people of Bridgeport elect a Legislature pledged to any such
