BILL FAILED TO PASS SENATE
Time Between Local Option Elections
Unchanged by Legislature

A bill offered by Delegate Alden Bell.
OF Culpeper, in the House, amended the
existing local option law TO the extent
Of providing that no election on the
sale OF intoxicating liquors could be
held in any community within four
years of the last preceding election on
the same subject The argument made
by the patron was that the frequency
of elections of this kind caused much
dissension and i'll feeling.
The bill passed the House and went
to the Senate, Clerk Booker's record
showing that it was communicated by
Clerk John w. Williams on February
"a 1t was thereupon referred to the
Committee on County, City and Town
Organizations.
On March 2 it was reported from
this committee with amendments, and
went on the calendar the next day.
When final adjournment was reached
the measure was still on its second
reading. having never reached a vote

WESToN'S GREAT WALK.

Edward Weston. the aged pedes-
trian champion. with his white locks
flying in the breeze and the weight
Of seventy-one years sitting but
lightly on his shoulders, passed down
the streets of New York City on
Monday. bringing to a triumphant
end his remarkable cross-the-conti-
nent walk of 3. 4S3 miles in n days.
The old man. old however only in
the number Of his years. was greet
ed by the mayor of New York and
twenty thousand of his countrymen.
Well might these Americans assem-
bic to cheer the old athlete. He had
performed feat unequaled in the
history Of this country and this with
out remuneration or pay Of any kind.
His walk from California to New
York at his age exceeds any other
athletic feat ever recorded on this
side Of the Atlantic. What compar-
ison is there between the college
youth who in the strength and vigor
of>his youth runs an hundred yards
in ten seconds, and this old man who
in the sunset of life bravely tramps
across this great land in record time,
Drawing wind and rain, cold and
every other weather extreme? His
feat should prove an inspiration to
those Of us who have been wont to
believe that a man after reaching
fifty or sixty years of age is unable
TO stand the strain of hard exercise
or athletic work. Weston has proved
shst even at a much more advanced
age an American who takes care of
himself and lives in the open air as
much as possible need not look with
few on the latter days of his life as
period Of enforced inactivity, but
that with proper exercise and due
regard for health a man can be al.
most as active at seventy as he is al
twenty-five. The old man has set &
splendid example and it should
prove Of immense benefit,

MORE BRIBERY CHARGES

There are a great many things
about the latest bribery scandal in
Legislative circles. namely. that
which involves the election of Sena-
tor Lorimer. of Illinois. which ap-
pear rather incredulous, and it will
be well for people to suspend judg-
ment in this instance until the facts
are brought out by an investigation.
IL appears that Representative
White, a Democrat, has come for
ward with statement that he was
paid 81 800 10 vote for 'Lorimer and
he produces some proof of the
charge. When we consider, how
ever, that White waited more than a
year after Lorimer had been elected
and taken his seat in the Senate be-
fore making these disclosures. and
then did so in a long newspaper
story Of his Legislative experience,
for which he undoubtedly received
a sum of money. reasonable people
should hesitate to believe this latest
Legislative sensation. Whites story
is improbable enough to fall to the
ground. and would do so but for the
fact that unfortunately the Ameri-
lean people have been treated TO SO
much bribery and graft scandal,
much of which proved true. that
they have become naturally suspic-
ious of men in official life. If this
thing goes on good men will be
averse to seek public office, because
the badge of office is rapidly becom-
ing badge of suspicion. Much of
this suspicion is justified and a great
deal is not, but the people of this
country should arouse themselves
and stamp out everything and every
body connected with corruption,
graft and bribery. 1t is sad COM
mentary that two elections of sena-
tors in the past twelve months should
have been followed by charges of this
character. If they prove true, then
the two senator's elected should
forfeit or resign their seats, and if
not true the persons making the
charges should be severely punished.

Or. NOAH X. DAVIS DEAD

DIR. N. K. Davis, who had held the
chair of moral philosophy in the Uni
yersity of Virginia for many years, died
Tuesday.
He was born in Philadelphia May Is,
1890.
He was the author of number of
works on logic, psychology and ethics,
and also Of 'suda's Jewels, and The
Story of the Nazarene.
During the latter years of his life in
firmities increased upon him and he
largely withdrew from the activities in
which his career had been passed, but
he never lost his deep interest in educa-
tional and religious enterprises.
Professor Davis married in 1857 Miss
Ella Hunt, of Albany, Ga She and four
children survive.

UNVEILED THOMAS STATUE
In Speech to Old Soldiers the Presi.

Ideal Residence.
UNVEILED THOMAS STATUE

Cincinnati. MAY 4.-President Taft
came home TO pay his first visit since
his Inauguration. Cincinnati appar-
toward its presidential son as has
Yale. where he graduated long ago.
where there were no big crowds to
welcome Mr.. Taft when he came into
the Pennsylvania station.
In the morning the president went
TO the Mercantile library. OF which his
father. Alphonso TAFT. was one OF the
founders. In the afternoon the Presi.
dent made an address to the Loyal
feelings and for the first time on the
present trip showed that the White
House to him is not the ideal place OF
residence.
Glad to Get Among Friends.
1T is a pleasure" said the presi-
dent. TO come back to ones home,
and especially when you have been
gently chided for your shortcomings:
TO snuggle up close to those who are
fond OF you: who have respect for
you whatever happens. and who be-
lieve. however great the obstacles are.
and however severe in other parts OF
the country may be. you are doing the
best You can"
The president told the old soldiers
that Il might seem strange TO them
that the present commander-in-chief OF
the army and navy was a man who
had never smelled powder. but he ex-
planned that he was born In 81 and
was too young TO go into the Civil
War. and that when the Spanish War
broke out he was hardly physically
fitted for soldering.
During the day the president found
time to talk to Arthur I. Vorys. former
manager Of his campaign in this state
and Wade II. Ellis. once upon a time
chief trust buster OF the department
Of justice. and now chairman OF the
Ohio Republican state committee. The
condition OF the party and its chances
In the fall campaign were discussed
The reports TO the president were no,

said that frequently such obituaries
