Congressman Slemp, who, ii Is be-
Ifeved. will be the republican capdi-
date. We are not So cocksure that
MIR. Stuart is going to be the next
Congressman from the Ninth district.

is the republicans in the Ninth are
not as strongly united as heretofore
There are republicans of influence IN
the Southwest who gay that Mr.. Slemp

ing satisfied with "A seat in Con-
gress, he is serving as State chair
man OF the party. and therefore con-
trolling too much power which he
uses to advance his own interests.
But this aside, We have it ON good
authority that number or repuoi-
cans are going to vote for Mr.. Stuart,
and with the democratic party united
in the Ninth as never before, We see
no reason why the democrats need
lose hope. If they do not win this
time they can lay the ground work
for a splendid victory two years

of the great Dutch soprano, Jomeili.
the Pittsburg orchestra, under the
baton OF Carl Bernthaier. and the
Wednesday Club chorus, splendidly
trained for this festival by Tall Esen
Morgan. OF New York, the cause for
the widespread popular interest in the
approaching festival is easily seen.
The programs will compare favorably
with the best produced anywhere.
Concerts OF such a standard cannot
fail to prove stimulus to the entire
community as well as source of
pleasure to music lovers who, living
away from the big metropolitan CEN
ters, do not often have an oppor-
tunity OF hearing the best singers.
That they are preparing to take fuii
advantage of the present opportunity
Is conyincingly indicated by the ad-
vance sale of tickets. and from all
prospects brilliant audiences will con-
tribute the one remaining feature ne
cessary to make the Wednesday Clubs
music festival a brilliant success.
The bass roles will be taken by

partment at Chautauqua, New York,

Now comes DR.. Royal s. Copeland of the Flower
Hospital, New York, and Dr. III. w. Wiley, chief
of the Bureau of Chemistry and public guardian
of the nations food supply with the statement that
sterilization is fad and that raw milk is the
thing to make fat and healthy babies.

need to be mental acrobat to keep abreast of
the procession. There is one safe rule, however:
The closer We approximate natures ways the
nearer are to solving the practical problem OF
living. Cows milk is not the exact equivalent of
human milk, but, overlooking gross chemical diff
ferenees, the proper way to it is to administer
the milk under conditions near as may be to
the natural way. Of necessity the operation OF
this rule excludes preservation and pasteurizatlon.
am frank to say, therefore, if reasonably pure
natural milk can be had, am opposed to pasteuri-
cation. For safety's sake, however, there must be
the strckest possible official supervision of the
product, from the dairy to the consumer. ;,
And then comes DR.. Wiley with the statement
that pasteurizaton is an expedient good for
counteractng the evils of dirty diaries and unsani-
tary handling of milk but probably injurious, and
especially so for infants.
Now ism t that the limit? 1t is not so much that
we all mind the trouble we have taken in burning
the midnight spirit lamp and imposing upon our
selves and the baby, but whom we trustY If
the other doctors were wrong, may 1t not be that

Editor of The Virginian:
Sir,--As doubtless many of your
readers know, on Thursday, April rs,
Danviite is to have another local OPP

or two weeks a quiet, personal work

This kind of work has resulted In

Last Sunday afternoon mass
meeting was held at Ridge Street tab
ernacle, with an attendance estimat-
ed at two thousand, to hear Judge
Covington, OF Georgia, on the ques-
ton at issue For more than an hour
the gifted speaker held his audience
spellbound with his splendid arraign-
ment Of the liquor traffic. The speech
strengthened those who We're already

who were in the last open to convie-
ton.
Last night (ruesday) another well
attended meeting was held in the tab
ernacle In the same interest This
meeting was announced as a neigh
borly plea" occasion. Mr.. Il. F. Shelf
fey, from Lynchburg. Va. was pre-
sented as the first speaker OF the eve
ming He made a strong plea for
civic Righteousness, not only as an
influence upon the people OF Danville,
but for the effect IL would have on
Lynchburg and other cities that must
pass through such contest, and the
Statewide effect 1t would have. He
strongly appealed to the voters pres
ent to continue to set the State an
example as a city that prospered in
Its very interest without the open sa-
loon.
Mr.. Sheffey,s speech was we'll re-
ceived and produced a fine impress

Kerns, of Sutherlin, Va, was the next
speaker. He spoke IN interest of the
farmers in this contest. He showed
In an impressive manner how the sa-
loon had been driven by the farmers
from the rural sections of Virginia as
an evil thing not to be tolerated near
their homes. and this same class of
honest toilers were against the saloon

CITY Government.

It mast not be inferred from any comments that
have recently appeared in these columns that The
Virginian is opposed to the commission form OF
government, in the accepted meaning of that term
To the contrary, We believe that the Texas plan
or a modification of it, is admirably adapted to
Richmond and other Virginia cities. And we have
30 affirmed on several occasions.
That plan, in brief, abolishes the ward system and
provides for small council consisting OF five
members elected from the city at large, of whom
the mayor is one and the presiding officer. The
council thus chosen differs in essential from the
council as il exists in the Virginia cities 1T
possesses the same general powers and performs
the same functions. The only difference is In
the manner of selection the number of members
and in the fact that the mayor is made part OF 1t
and further that all the members are paid for
their services.
Wherever the system has been put into operation
X has given efficient administration and ex-
pended the public fund to better advantage.
We should be glad to the system tested IN
Richmond and public sentiment should be edu-
rated in that direction. But it will be four years
at least before Richmond can change her present
Fs and when The change does come IL must eeHae
through the Democratic party, unless there should
be political revolution.
In the meantime it is the business of people and
council TO unite in an earnest endeavor to make
the existing form of government efficient as
Y possible.

Those of us who remember when
we were boys can imagine easily the
suppressed outbreaks of boyish wrath
and Indignation In the Christian Col
lege at Lynchburg. The faculty, nav
ing detected three members OF the
college baseball team smoking cigar
cites, In violation OF rules, has for
hidden them to play again this sea-
son. This order cripples the team
and may cause Its disbandment ana
the abandonment of the schedules.
To the college boy mind this Is the
most grfevous of calamities, the most
dreadful of grievances, the most fia-
grant of outrages. Probably the
members OF the faculty would hardly
be flattered II they could hear what
Is said of them and the college wits
and pessimists are enjoying them
selves predicting the downfall of the
institution and the destruction of the
country and lampooning their instruc-
tors. Yet the faculty Is right. They

Is it possible that Mr.. William j.
Bryan did not understand the real
ground of opposition to the free sill
yer plank in the democratic platforms
of 1896 and 1900! He talks about the
vindication of the quantitative theory
in relations to prices as shown In the
Increased producfIon Of gold, as II
that was the issue in the free coin
age of silver on ratio of valuation
wholly fictitious. No one denies the
cumulative theory's effect on prices.
which after all, Is more apparent
than real. That was not the ground
of opposition to Mr. Bryan and MS
platform. 1t was the manifest alb
surdity of trying to maintain two
varying standards OF value, and the
certainty that the coinage of inferior
value would drive out the more Vaiu-
able one. In short, that the erect
would be to put the United States
in the category OF commercially In
ferior countries like Mexico and
China, where silver Is the standard
