POLITICS AND VICE.


In most Of the great cities Of the
United States there is n reasonable
suspicion on the part OF the people
that certain forms OF vice are pro-
tected and that the graft system is
more common than it was generally
supposed to have been. The Balu-
more News. in trying to trace the
connection between the officials and
the offenders, says:
The mystery Of the connection be-
tween the police and the pOliti-
clans and the under world. Is one
OF the things which IS always DIFF
ficult to prove; but that there is
such a connection is the only by
pothesis upon which certain
phenomena can be explained.
That some such entente existed few
years ago was not open to doubt.
Politicians could grant or with
hold immunity for certain forms
of evil, and that they were paid
for their protection no person
with eyes TO see and ears to hear
could disbelieve.
Occasionally evidences or concerted
effort 20 override the law are so
plain that the only conclusion TO
be drawn Is that the under world
has been given a Tip" that the
bars are to be let down IL may
be noticed thaa II the press is
silent for any length OF time
about vice IL takes on holiness
as ~ a had nothing TO fear so
long as publicity is not given its
dOinEs. These are the things
which make the public uneasy
when charges OF corruption
though not sufficient to convict
in a court OF law-give intima-
tiOn OF where the trail leads.
We know that there are still with US
politicians who live by their wits
Some OF them live well. Few
months pass without some de-
velopment which gives the INF
tiated ground for suspicion that
the explanation Of their affluenct
is TO be found I'm some Illicit con-
ncCtion with the only authority
which the under world fears-thC
police and the criminal courts.
Whatever the secret. there is no ques-
ton that politics has much TO dc
with IL.
Pittsburg and some Of the other
cities are engaged I'm a cleaning VI
process. There are signs Of a great
moral awakening in places where vice
and crime have been allowed to run
riot for many years. Men who have
prostituted their Offices for gain ar,
being exposed and driven INFO private
life or the penitentiary, and a more
healthful moral tone IS beginning e
prevail
Long-existing evils are difficult e
/ eradicate, but the work can be don,
II the ak is laid close to the root, and
that means the elimination Of al
grafters in official life. The colder
age for this despicable class is draw
! ing to a close.

PER CAPITA Is $3.50.

1t has been figured out at the treas
ury department that II the money in
circulation in the United States at the
present time were equally divided.
every man. woman and child would
have S34.59. This is a gain of IA
cents for each one Of US during the
past month.
Compared with a year ago there
was on June S14.0OO,O0O more
money I'm circulation and yet, strange
as il may seem. the per capita was AZ
cents less. This. IL is said. is due to
the increase in population. Il being
prOportionately more than the growth
Of the circulating medium. The gen.
eral stock OF money I'm the United
States on June 1 was S3,419.3S2.2s4,
Of which S2ss.O7s.5S7 was held in the
treasury as assets Of the government.
So IT would seem that the popula-
ton IS in close pursuit of the money
of the country as well as the food
supply. The census figures mag prove
startling in some respects.

to Europe On his annual tour awheei.
came down to the ground floor of the
state department building ar the
close of business one afternoon not
long ago and was getting out his BIZ

ANorHFR PROMISE KEPT.

framed by the Republican caucus OF
the House. has been passed, the vote
being 1g2 70 113. After all their pro-
LESSONS Of loyalty 70 their party plat

and. true to tho traditions OF their
party. both houses OF Congress. being
I'm control Of the Republicans, have
gone on record and made their prom
ise TO the people good.
President Taft has been in Office but
a little over a year. During that time
the tariff has been revised and the
railroad and savings bank bills passed
in addition TO the regular routine
work Of Congress. No other admin

good a record.
As in the case OF the railroad bill.

points OF difference between the two
houses II will be easy to reconcile
these differences, so I'm the course OF
"a very few days the savings bank bill

While the opposition Is clustering
and telling what should be done. the
Republicans. as usual. are going right

VACCINATION FOR TYPHOID.

vaccination against typhoid fever
has been urged for some time past.
and as q result some $500 ~oidiers in
the army OF the United States hive
submitted to the treatment. It is
predicted that the demonstration OF
the advantages Of this protection
against typhoid will ultimately lead
to compulsory vaccination.
The surgeon general Of the army
has recommended the compulsory
vaccination of recruits, but 50 far the
war department has refused to issue
the necessary order.

OF Interest to AutOists.

Drivers -of autos are required tt
keep a careful look out at all time!
for animal drawn vehicles, or horse
back riders, and upon the approach
of such shall slow up, keep theiI
machine under thorough control
and give ample roadway to such
vehicle or rider, to pass, and II
signaled to, or requested, by such
vehicle driver, or rider, shall bring
his machine and engine, to a full
stop, and give ample time for such
vehicle or rider to pass.
We call special attention to the
fact, that it is not required of the
auto driver to stop his machine, un-
less signaled or requested, and con-
sequently those who desire them TO
do so should not fail to make signal,
or request, else the auto driver
would probably infer that the horse
driven was not afraid of machine,
and continue to go up to him, with
The best of intention. 1t is obligatory
upon the driver of an auto, to assist
n leading a horse by his machine,
f requested by the rider or driver o
uch horse, so to do.

Heights Through the Long
Summer Days.

During a recent walk over the
hills of East Farmville a representa-
tive of the Herald was again i'm.
pressed with the work on building
lines which is being done there. The
Price residence has been finished
and is now occupied by the family,
the Chernault nearing completion.
the roof has been placed on the An
derson, Watson's foundation laid
and super-sGncture going up, all on
the north side of Second street,
while on the south side excavations
are being made Jfor four other
homes. From the present outlook
it isn't rash to say that within the
near future there will be formed
there an important and commanding
ward of the town. No summer dull
ness reigns on those heights. The
electric lights are all aglow in the
only dwelling which has been finish
ed, and the pipes for water have
been ordered and will soon be laid.
When this has been done the resi-
dents of East Farmville will have
country comforts and town conve-
liences in happy combination. And
what's of concern to East Farm
lille concerns all Farmville.

But that the Almanacs marked
the day Farmville wouldn't have
known of the passing of the "glo-
rious Fourth"
Our people prefer to make known
their patriotism by sticking close
to business. They were up as usual
on the natal day and stopped work
at the usual hour. Our bankers.
obedient to the laws demands, did
keep closed doors, and the postof-
flee force did enjoy a partial rest
off.
No bumbs were busted" nor sky
rockets shot off, and no one read
in public the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. This the Herald urged,
but many of the Suggestions of
the Herald are unheeded.
Just a little cooperation on the
part of the citizens and a purchasing
agent of the Government would have
come this way in the near future
looking for $4,000 lot upon
which to build a $4,000 building.

gress will meet again Our duty is
plain. Let's DO it.

and mules move about slowly Our
streets were far from being lonesom

Today being national holiday we
have had nothing to do except a
