tricts were awarded to five different men
out of ten competitive bidders. Roughly

NOT IN ONE DISTRICT.

Dispatches from Richmond say that
William Haw, a prominent Republican
of Ashland. explaining his charges
that certain federal employees had
been guilty of pernicious activity in
politics, said:
As. lifelong Republican. ! have
grown sick and tired OF seeing pri'
mary meetings and conventions of my
party in this district controlled by a
coterie of ofsiceholders in the city OF
Richmond.
Mr.. Haw's district does not stand
alone In this matter. One reason why
the Republican party In Virginia hard
iy is taken seriously In State affairs is
the fact that in almost every city and
district wha; there is of the party Is
operated almost solely by and for the
benefit OF few individuals enjoying
or seeking federal patronage.

TnesREPuTATioN OF THE LOCAL
sHipYARC.

Commenting upon the eigh;-hour
work day stipulation Ia the act Oh
congress authorizing the construction
Of the great battleship for which the
NEWPORT News shipyard Is the only
bidder. the New York Herald remarks
that this stipulation was injected into
The measure by Congressman Fitzger-
aid. of. Brooa,yn as a play to the
galleries" ana goes on TO say;
The Inevitable result Is found in
the refusal OF all private companies.
save one. to submit bids. and the
government therefore loses the bene-
Ats accruing from healthy competi-
ton. Reputable builders feared that
the insistance upon the working hours
would be extended 20 the supplies OF
material. and hence. though civil es-
Establishments might be Wiling TO
change their whole system. they fear
ed complications that would surely
arise because OF the employment OF
these sub-contractors.
This reference to the fears OF re
putabie bidders might be construed
as reflection upon the Newport
News company. However. we hardly
can believe that the Herald had any
such intention. We prefer to take IT
for granted that the writer meant to
convey the idea that all reputable
builders entertained such fears and
that the Newport News company was
enterprising and self-confdent enough
to submit a bid In spite of the COM
plications liable to arise.
The reputation OF the local ship
building plant is too securely placed
among the highest to make II neces-
sary for us TO carry a chip on our
shoulder about ii.
In this connection one cannot help
wondering why 80 much fuss Is being
made. over the prospect of having
battleship contract awarded TO the
Newport News yard 4Shout having
bids submitted from other builders.
when SO little Is said about the pro
vision ofothe law under which the
sister ship of the new Teak" Is to
be constructed at the New York navy
yard without any sort of bidding. In
view Of the fact that ii Is goin- to
cost the government something like
a millioa dollars less to have the
Texas" built in Newport News than
Il will cost to have her sister ship
built al the navy yard. II would seem
that the government ought to be pre'-
" we'll satisfied with the Newport
News end OF the deal even II there
was only one bid.

CENSUS RETURNS SATISFACTORY

Though Newport News has no rea
son for waxing particularly enthus
iastic over tho 1910 census returns.
there Is some measure of satisfaction
In the knowledge that while large
numbers of our citizens have moved
their homes into the suburbs during
tho past ten years. Newport News
without extending it's corporate linn
its, has had an increase in population
OF more than five hundred. And
the Lower Penlaaula communities as
a whole have added several thousand
people to their population.
II Is. indeed. rather gratifying TO
know thai we had more than 10000
people actually living within the Inn
its of the city at the time the fed
eral enumerators did their work
here. when It Is remembered that the
number OF employees at the shipyard
was at that time almost down to the
minimum.
Tho census returns for Virginia
show that the State population has
been increased to 2.0Gi.6i2. or H.
per cent. since the 1900 census. This
Is substantial and healthy growth.
and II has been accomplished without
undesirable immigration-with very
little immigration of any kind. in
fact.

ors. individuals Of a speculative turn
who are bothered by no very scrupu'
lous ideas do not hesitate to embark
into any Kind of reckless scheme,
showing that they risk losing only
what they have. The bankruptcy law
in a large measure relieves such per

The question OF how the law must
be amended so as TO give the honest

IT AL DEPENDS ON US.

The Washington Herald voices the
opinion that the inauguration OF
Hermes da Formosa as President OF
Brazil will have the effect Of drawing
still closer the already intimate re-
lations between that Republic and the
United States. Formosa, It says. Is
progressive and frequently on record
as advocating the extension OF Brazii-
Ian friendship toward this country
rather than towards the European ma.
lions. He is an ardent supporter of
a Pan-American bank and In his In
augural address declared himself To
be "a firm believer In Pan-American'
ism"
This is all very well as far as IL
goes. out there Is but one really ei-
fective way to strengthen the rela-
tions between the United States and
Brazil That Is TO knock down the
tariff wall and so TO remove the arti.
fetal barriers to interchange OF com
moditles by the two countries. This
neither President Formosa nor any
other Brazilian. no matter how friend.
ly disposed towards us, can do. The
means Cor securing the Southern
American countries generally is in
our own hands, and only We can APP
ply them. We ought 10 have utilized
these means long ago, as. first. Blaine
and, afterwards. Mckinley wished the
country to do Persistence IN refusal
10 utilize them can only have the
result OF continuing TO drive to Euro
pean nations trade which the South
American countries wish to give usI
and which would otherwise come
here: and on our own shoulders alone
will rest the blame. This is the plain
fact of the matter which only the
blindness that will not see can faii

MANY MUST VOTE
I THE PRIMARY
RECORD IS HELD.
REPUBLICAN, CANDIDATES FEAR
THERE WILL NOT BE AS MANY
VOTES AS AT LAST PRIMARY.
SOME INTERESTING FIGHTS
ON FOR THE NOMINATIONS
Col. David j. Palmer and James Viii
son Are Leading in Contest for
Railroad Commissioner.

Des Moines, Iowa, June.-Intensely
interesting is the present political
speculation as to what will be the
outcome of the second republican pri-
mary under the present statewide
law, to be held Tuesday, June z. BY
coincidence, B. F. Carroll, the pres
ent governor. and Warren sGarst
meet for the second time in contest
for the republican nomination. Two
years ago Governor B. F. Car
roll received total vote Of
88,834 which nominated him
over Warren Garst, who had 63,737,
by margin of 25,o97. There was a
scattering vote for governor amount
ing to 2s,292. Should Garst be able
to hold all his old vote and control
this he might secure the nomination.
However, it is believed this odd vote
will divide between the candidates.
Another interesting feature to be
considered IS the, fact that the pri-
mary vote on United States Senator
was total OF 235,o33, which was 49,
ITO votes more than those cast for
the nomination for governor. The
question has been raised whether this
same number Of voters will this year
take part In the selection Of govern.
or, and If so, how they will divide.
May Be Lower.
Politicians in the capital city are In
clined to believe the total vote in the
c+oto ~, tho hood ~ ~. %icl,o% %hic
year will not approach the total at the
last primary, because at that time there
was vote taken on presidential cleo
tors, which stimulated much interest.
Whether or not the interest of parti-
cipants in the primary will hold up
throughout the entire ticket is an.
other matter of considerable specula.
ton at this time. For instance at
the last primary the vote on the Of
fee OF railroad commissioner fell
72,208 below the vote on United
States senator. There were at that
time three candidates for one nomina-
ton. At the coming primary there
are to be six candidates for two nomi-
nations. The fact, however, that one
Of these nominations Is practically
conceded to Col. David ]. Palmer Of
Washington, Iowa, puts the matter in
the form Of q contest for one nominal
ton among five candidates. In this
latter field James A. Wilson of Adair
county seems to have secured a prom
sing lead His strength seems
20 be increasing rapidly on ac-
count OF his not being consider
I'd a fractional candidate by either fac
lion, as he has so far declined to
align himself with either faction. II

JACOB w. JORDAN.

For the better part of half cen
tury Jacob W. Jordan was actively
connected with the business life OF
Ottumwa. For many years he was a
member of the pioneer firm Of w. a.
Jordan and Sons, which was founded
by the late w. A. Jordan and was con-
tinued after his death and until a few
years ago by the sons In business life
Jacob Jordan won reputation for
square dealing and sterling honesty.
In his home life he was an ideal hus-
band and father. He was serving ms
first term as member of the board OF
supervisors when death called him so
suddenly, and he was serving in that
capacity with fidelity and with the
marked ability gained by MS
long years of business experience.
His death came as shock
to his family and friends. Com
ing so soon after the demise of his
mother who died just a month ago to-
day, his death is doubly sad. The SYM
patty Of the community goes out to
the bereayed wife and family aid the
surviving brothers and sisters.

WHO IS TO BLAME :

! We the men composing the coro-
ner's Jury in the sad and shocking
cases Of the deaths Of Mrs. Doud and
Mrs. Quinlan, which happened last
week, wish to correct misquotatlon
Of the findings of said jury, by Attor-
ney 10. r. Jaques, in the Ottumwa
Courier, issue Of May %, 1910. He
says the solemn finding OF said
Jury was that "Nobody was to blame,
while the true quotation would have
been that, eve, the jury, find no rea-
son to censure the railroad employees. "
Such was the unanimous opinion OF
the Jury, gotten from the evidence Of
each and every witness, testifying In
the case.
AS long as the city Of Ottumwa is
satisfied to allow the railroad COM
panies whose lines pass through It's
limits to continue without providing
proper safeguards at the dangerous
crossings, just SO long will we require
coroner's jury to pass on the re-
mains of some unfortunate victim
every once in while. Evidently
somebody is to blame, but not the
employees Of the railroad company
Hoping this will set the matter
right as to the findings Of the jury
above referrel to, we are most sincere
ly yours,
