MRS. BRADLEY WILL BE SUB

A jury chosen and the opening state

sides of the BTadley-BrOWn viii contest
case are working hard in preparation for
the legal battle which viii break out
afresh IN Judge NJ. /. Ritchie's division
OF the Third district court Monday.
It was expected that some of the points
raised at the session of the court Friday,
when the motion to dismiss the case was
denied by Judge Richie would be argued
yesterday. but all of the proceedings were
put off until Monday morning at 70
O'Clock. At that time, W. II. King and
W. Z. Storey. for the defense, VIII con-
tinue their arguments in support of their
claim that the complaint should be dis
missed because of the lrregularlty or
pleadings ana, at least, for continuance
OF the case. 1t is claimed by Attorney
King that no witnesses have been sub
pOenaed by the defense in its resistance
of the fight for the two children of MIS-.
Anna Bradley. as he had believed tn
complaint faulty and did not belieVe

Case May Go Over.
There is possibility that the case will
be continued Monday morning, though
this point has not yet been decided. Judge
Richie gave counsel for the defense
until Monday morning TO plead for d
continuance, il they cared for it. 1t was
stated yesterday that it is probable no
continuance will be asked when the case
is again called, but that the attorneys
for the defense will make an exception
TO the ruling of the court and Will then
proceed with the case.
In this event, Mrs. Anna Bradley will
likely be called to the stand at once to
tell her story. The chief fight Of the de-
Tense will be directed against Mrs. Brad
ley and the ordeal which she will be
forced 10 go through will be most severe.
1t is upon her testimony and that of 9th
ers that the plaintiffs will rely to break

Senator, and for this reason she will be
forced to bear the brunt Of the attack

| cents ut the outside. But the con-
sumner knows by bitter experience that
| when the freight rates are raised adj
! vantage is taken or that fact to make
the consumer pay abundantly for all
fextra trouble or expense incurred by
| the shipper.
That Is why the public is Justly con-
! cerned Mt the effort of the railroads In
trying to raise freight rates on all the
articles that enter into consumption
by 9o.0o0,oOo people. Yet the average
citizen, If he had his way, would gladly
pay the railroad, not 8 ga, but twice
or three times that amount in
freight, if he could be relieved from
the three hundredfold heavier burden
of the tariff imposed on clothing, not
to help the American citizen, but sole
~ to enrich the wooden trust.
Free competition is what the con-
sumer demands for the railroads and
what he will sooner or later secure,
but 1t would be infinitely more to the
comfort and well-being OF this coun-
try If the American public could find
a Leader and a party that would gain
for the consumer the benefits both In
price and quality that come from free
competition in an open market.
The Wall Street Journal is right
when it says:
Time was when the American manu-
facturer was willing to go into any
market. confident that BY his superior
ingenuity and diligence he could hold
his own and make a profit where any
other man could. We have the tariff
to thank for a condition entirely diff
ferent. Our manufacturer thinks to-
day not how he can bat his COM
petitor with a better article, but how
he can beat him with a worse one. 1t
is impossible to sell dishonest product
except by dishonest means The quality
of our products has been appallingly
deteriorated by the elimination of COM
petition. The manufacturers ingenuity
and diligence now are turned away
from his proper market. and only ex-
ercised In Washington, where the re-
turn is so much more attractive when
business honor is once left out of the

Often there was no quorum on two

onpEn 4 SECOND rn11AnY.

The investigation by the subcommit-
tee of the Democratic State Central
Committee of the honeycomb of politi-
cal corruption in the Second District is
at an end. Testimony and argument
are over, and on Tuesday the subcom-
nittee Will report its findings 10 the
full committee in session here.
It is our strong conviction that the
Democratic state Central Committee
should order a second primary. 1t is to
be hoped that the subcommittee VIII rec
ommend such a step, and with its
knowledge OF the facts in the case, we
cannot see how it could do otherwise.
AT the outset the subcommittee de-
clared that it would mot apply the
anodyne, but use the surgeons knife"
The Surgeons knife" ought to be used,
and the result of the operation should
be to cut the ligature that binds the
people to either Young or Maynard and
permit them to vote in second pri-
mary for any Democrat they may see
fit to support BY reason of the fraud
OH both sides. Maynard and Young are
equally estopped from claiming that
they have monopoly on the nomina
tion in second primary.
The revelation of fraudulent political
practice in the Second is such that it
would be impossible now TO declare
either contestant or contestee the nom
inee. The people of the Second will
not stand for anything like that There
must be second primary.
In the meantime, let the grand jurles
OF the counties in which fraud has been
charged initiate independent investiga-
ton into such alleged offenses and vio-
lations of the laws of this Common
proceed at once to clear up these
charges, which are a standing reproach
TO the good government and good name
of Virginia j. N Sebrell counsel for
Maynard, said to the subcommittee on
Saturday: You have not seen one
hundredth part of the real rottenness
in this district"
Nor was there lacking plethora of
evidence that acts of political dishon-
esty ard offenses against the election
laws of the State exist in the Second
District. In such cases the grand ju-
ries should do their full duty and make
such an example of offenders that they
Will operate as deterrents of fraud
hereafter,
The people of the Second are thor
oughiy dissatisfied with the conditions
which have so long existed there. to
the reproach of the whole district. The
appearance of counsel for the Citizens
Committee at the recent investigation
Is proof of that. Especially do the
younger men of the Democratic party
desire remedial procedure for existing
conditions. Let the Democratic state
Central Committee hearken to the de-
mands of the good people of the Sec
ond,
