The passing OF the editorial article
from tho county papers Is sincerely
to be regretted. When a newspaper
ceases to print editorial articles, IL
loses it's personality and becomes
merely a collection Of ncws matter,
through which the reader must wade
without a word OF explanation or
note of comment, This may not, oil
course, be tho case with paper which
has a personality from the very assoc
Citations Of it's name. but 1t Is certain
" the case with the smaller county
papers, whose editors literally made
them.
Then. again. the passing of editori-
al articles from many of the weekly
papers has put a new burden on the
other editors who wish to get a cor
rect idea OF public opinion in the
State. A metropolitan newspaper has
! a large force and generally its editors
study conditions as closely as posi-
bic. but in the nature OF things they
cannot be expected to know what the
people in the southwest think of pro-
hibition or what the people of the
Northern Neck think Of the ever
pressing oyster question. The editors
in other days were the unfailing
spokesman of their people, and from
their articles an editor in Richmond
could always Judge of public opinion
in every part of the State.
The county editor must pass. If
his editorials are TO pass, and If he
is no longer to play a part in the In
tellectual life of the State, we have
lost one of our most interesting char
acters. Times have changed, to be
sure, since the days when the editor
kept a jug under his desk and a der
ringer in his drawer. but the editorial
writers for the county papers have re-
NAMED an interesting, an able and a
unique company. Generally underpaid

who give to their communities the
best that is in them. They are al
ways willing to aid in good works
and are perhaps the most consistent
champions OF righteousness TO be
found outside the pulpit. They write
we'll and they write vigorously, and
many of them are entitled to fai
greater respect than is given them.
We should hate to see these breth-
rem cease from the labors which are
so useful to them and so valuable to
the State, and we hope the tide may
turn the country editors owe a duty
to their readers, and should give them
all the news they can; but they owe
another duty TO themsolvcs-the duty
of leadership-and they should re-

IN ruE HANDS or THE jury.

IN THE HANDS OF II Jtiti.
Those who have wearied OF the very
name of Pinchot and have become
sick of Ballnger can now rest easily.
The long hearing is ended the at
torneys for all the disputants have
filed their briefs; the case is in the
hands OF the jury. Sometime before
the end of the present session of Con-
gress, unless il seem 'expedient" to
postpone the matter until after the
elections, the Committee Will make
public its report and Will end the
whole afair--let us hope for all time.
The briefs which were filed by Mr..
Vertrees in behalf of Mr.. Ballinger. BY
Mr. Brandeis in behalf of Mr. CLAWS
and by Mr.. Pepper in behalf of Mr..
Pinchot. merely summarize the evil
denco as each one sees 1t. and none of
them adds a line to what the people
of the country have already read in an
| other form. Nertrces defends BALM
| ger. condemns the men who stirred up
| strife, declares the acts of the Score
| tary were neither Illegal nor unethi-
cal, and consigns Pinchot & Company
TO regions which need not be men
toned in cold type. Brandels and
| Pepper declare Ballinger unfit for his
office, think his improper connection
established beyond question, blame him
for opposing what they consider 10 be
4 the true conservation policy and de-
4 clare him reactionary of the worst
type.

The Association of Health Officers OF
Tidewater Virginia has undertaken
to improve the health conditions in
that part of the State, first by eradi-
eating the mosquito, and then By sup
pressing the fly. But without the
mosquito and the fly Tidewater vir-
ginia would not be Underwater Vir-
GINA. If the people in that part of
the commonwealth could be rid of
their nuisances they would be almost
as happy as If they lied among the
hills at Richmond and Roanoke.

If YOU intend to make an extended

you to carry a large trunk, and 1t Will
be announcement for you to carry -
trunk at all. Baggage facilities on
the continent are not of the best. and
a person unfamiliar with the language
has great difficulty in arranging these
matters Mt the station. If possible you
should carry only the luggage that
can be carried in the passenger coaches.
The question of dress Is n puazling one
especially in view of the limitations on
your baggage. You should not trouble
yourself to carry an evening dress, az
you will probably not need 1t. You
should certainly carry enc dark travel

travellers fnd 1t best to carry couple
