IF AN ELECTION is HELD

Since a petition has been filed by
qualified voters of this city asking
that local option election be order
ed to determine whether the city
shall remain without saloons, and
since it seems likely that the voters
will be called upon to decide this
question in the near future. we do
not deem it amiss to urge in advance
that the election, if one is ordered,
be quietly conducted without feeling,
criticism or excitement other than
that necessarily engendered by an
election. There seems no good rea-
son why a local option election should
bring about bad feeling. since it is
simply public question like many
others which the people are called
upon to decide and on which men
can honestly differ. We can not at
ford to be at odds with our neigh
bors or our fellow townsmen and,
therefore, for the interest of the
city and all concerned, let both sides
determine in advance, if an election
is held, to conduct the campaign in
q quiet, conservative and digniied
manner, appealing to the reason,
judgment and good sense of the
voters rather than to feeling, preJu-
dice or excitement. We think it en-
tirely possible to have such an cleo
ton in Fredericksburg and If 1t is
done the result, whatever it may be,
will be attained without having left
i'll feeling rampant through the city.
The official crop report issued by
the government was a great bear
argument on Wall street. because
the condition of spring wheat was
shown to be worse than for NAM
Der of years, causing the estimate
for this years wheat crop to fall far
below the average. but Wall street
temporarily lost sight of the fact
that the estimate shows that the
United States will harvest this year
the most magnificent corn crop IN
the history of the county, the loss in
wheat as measured by bushels being
far more than made up by the gain
in corn, to say nothing of the fur
Their fact that the report shows the
existence Of a splendid condition in
the Southern cottonfelds, the esti-
mate for that crop being made bet
ter than that of the past few years.
Indications point to a most prosper
GUS year for the farmer. and especi-
ally is this true of the Virginia
farmer, growing conditions up to
this time having been ideal in the
Old Dominion. With a bumper crop
this summer and fall the country
may look forward to year Of pros
perity.

The fact of her demise was gener.

ears of the police. who visited DR.
Crippen. The interview appeared to be
satisfactory.
Saturday noon last DR. Crippen dis

body OF a woman was found buried in
the cellar.
