What does our contemporary know

said In the Investigation that We're not

with Pinchot, or rather with the work
he is said to have been doing, he has
not made very favorable Impression

does not appear to be any way to get
at Ballinger except to lynch him. and
That would not be CONSTITUTIONAL.

THE DEFEAT Or THE STROBE
BILL.

The Statewide bill is dead, and 1t
friends know it. Attempts may b
made to revive the measure III on
form or another, but these have prac
tically no chance In the present AS
sembly. AS result, Virginia Will
have two years OF peace. unless a,
attempt be made to call a special ses
sion of the Assembly between thi:
time and January, 1912.
We are glad that the bill has been
defeated. We are glad not because tho
bill was presented by the Antf-Saloon
League, championed by the league and
regarded as the leagues favorite meas
ure. In our opinion, that would mat
ter very little one way or another.
We are glad that the bill has been
defeated because 1t was in no sense
representative OF the true temperance
sentiment of Virginia. In SO far as
the prohibitionists are sincere and
above political ambition, they deserve
the respect Of right minded men. To
the extent that they have been in
fluerced by worthy motives they are
to BIO respected. whatever the degree
OF commiseration those who have
honestly differed from them may 4ex-
tend to them.
We regret the methods pursued by
Its advocates. We do not regard the
liquor referendum as a Democratic
doctrine. We oppose the referendum
on the liquor question as we would OPP
pose the referendum of any issue. We
would do the same had tho question
been the bond issue or question or
taxation, and we shall continue to do
the same thing as long as this is a
representative and not q popular gov
eminent. But with this exception. We
have no inclination to criticize the
league for attempting to force its
wishes against the honest convictions
of honorable legislators

RAISING THE DOUBLE CROSS,

Our people do not bother about
what happens in Bulgaria; in fact,
some Of them forget where Bulgaria is.
They know, to be sure, that 1t belongs
to that store-housc Of political powder
kegs that lies beyond the Balkans,
and they are accustomed to the occa-
sional echoes Of revolutions. regicides
and rcbellions that resound from that
distant cline. With this exception. We
know little and care less about Bull
garia.
But yesterdays dispatches contained
an item about Bulgaria that is worthy
OF note hero in Gods own country It
seems that tuberculosis is playing
havoc among the subjects OF King
Ferdinand, whoever he is. and is killing
81 for every 10000 citizens OF that
mongrel monarchy. If this keeps up
long the King will have no bodyguard
and nobody to tax. He will not have
an opposition party to make his life
miserable or friends to hail him as
the greatest monarch in Europe. Con-
sequently, the King has gone to work
against the new enemy. lie has given
$4,000 for the erection Of q national
sanatorium and has been passing the
hat around among his friends. In
kindly eyes have lit on the rich
monasteries and converts OF the church
in his state, and he Is planning to
sell TO aid tho war on consumption. We
are not Informed whether tho good
fathers Of tho church believe that the
white plague should be fought before
the red devil, but we are told that
some of the monasteries arc already
gone.
We hail this as another evidence
OF the new humanity. OF course, we
have no desire to see the church
weakened or its usefulness hampered.
OF course, we do not desire to see the
double cross OF tho consumptive cru-
sado raised in place OF tho Greek

In one Of our county exchanges we
read such story this week. 1t was
not the dirge OF moral defeat or
the narrative of an untimcly death or
q chronicle of crime. It was simply
the tale Of an old church's passing.
The church was built, We are told,
in those good old days when the great

the spiritual yearnings Of soul-llungry

had its day. 1t fulfilled Its mission.
Its founders died and were buried.
It's younger members grew old. After
the war, free negroes settled about it,
married its sacred aisles and desecrat-
ed the monuments scattered about 1t.
The whites attended the church for
half a century, but gradually they left
it. Progress moved on. 1t was hard
TO visit the old church over rough
country roads in winter weather, so
they have built a new church. larger
perhaps and more beautiful, far more
convenient. and much more accessible.
They Will Move into the new building
very shortly.
The old church is to be closed. The
negroes may use 1t If they will, or the
school trustees may repair 1t and
teach children within it. If neither
want II, 1t may rot. This is the trag-
edy OF it MI, and this is the thought

It Is easy to picture the former glories
of the old church and to remember
what IT was to the people who bulltl
1t and loved 1t and worshiped in II.
It was their gate to heaven, their path
from the world as it is to the world as
they hoped 1t would be. Those old
walls knew their yearnlngs. their
