The Discrimination Against New

In the midst OF the Investigations and
proposals Of Investigations that occupy
80 great a part Of the attention Of the
legislators Of this State il is gratifying
and oonsOling to learn that they are able
TO find time for the consideration Of a
few new bills designed to make voting
more difficult in this city. We're the
Legislature to adjourn without valor-

munity the friends of The Republican
members would feel alarmed over their

II is true that already the act 81 voting
is much more difficult Of performance
here than in any other part Of the State.
and that here alone citizens are treated
as scoundrels and blacklegs until they
have obtained certificates of good moral
character. properly authenticated by I'M
peccable Republican authority. This is
not the case in the virtuOus interior com

cerity in the attacks that are made on
President TAFT because of his frequent

DO true that none Of his predecessors

complaint is that Mr.. TAFT does not stay
"a close To tho White House a. his pred

lest some dreadful thing should happen
because Of this.
Congress expected the President 10
move about. and made appropriation
to enable him 40 TO do without trench
ing on his private purse. The people
want him 10 come 20 see them. The
President apparently enjoys wander
ing around the country. No one has
right 20 find fault with his excursions
merely because they are more frequent
and more extended than were those Of
other Presidents. The time for legiti-
mate criticism will come when il il
shown that the President IL allowing
his constitutional tasks 10 remain I'M

"Old Pop Roberts, as rushers; Jean
Holderness and Harper on the defense.
The all stars scored once while Pierce's
team had six to it's credit.
Harry Thompson, the Richmond boy
who made an exceptionally good rec

last week. 1t was due to hard driv'
en- ball striking him in the face. James

not return home for several days. A
