Newport News citizens in all Walks

have publicly expressed themselves
as being in hearty accord with what

A striking illustration of the way
the people feel about this thing Is
the action OF two OF the city's most
prominent attorneys in volunteering
TO assist Commonwealth Attorney

of these men.

MIR. TAFT AND OUR
REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM.

President Taft, in recent New
York address, said; 1T is impos.
slble to revise the tariff without
awakening the active participation
IN the formation of schedules of
those producers whose business
will be affected by a change. This
is the inherent difficulty in the
adoption or revision of the tariff
by our representative system. "
But does the difficulty rest with
our representative system, as Mr..
Taft would have us believed Is il
not rather with the betrayal of the
peoples interests by the represent
atlves elected to carry out their
wishes, and has not the President
himself been party to this be-

not specify a downward revision,
which was the only kind of revision
that would satisfy the prevailing

that, aud Mr., Taft in his campaign
speeches encouraged that belief.

political suicide.

MIR. BRADLEY'S CASE.

VI IA. DIM lfIAIs ! - 4A''is'
4 delicate question was submItte
10 the County Democratic Com
mittre as it, meeting last Saturday
It is well known that Uur count
has had two asplrants for tn
Democratic nomination for Con
gress, Hon. John l.. Bradley an,

GREETED, because they feared /
would develop into an acrimonious
personal contest, echoes Of which
might continue to be heard after
the primary to the detrment Of
harmonious party work. At the
meeting last Saturday Mr. Bradley
through representative pro.
pounded to the committee th" ques.
ton as to whether in 1t, opinion

disc tn" interests Of the party IN
the county, and suggested that It
such were declared to be- its judy
meut he would be willing TO with.
draw IN the interest of party har.
mouy.
The spirit manifested by Mr..
Bradley is certainly one TINT re
fleets credit an him as loyal
Democrat, but still il placed the
committee in rather on embarsass
ing situation. There could be
little doubt in the mind of any
member OF the committee or any
Democrat that it would be better
for local party conditions if there
were only one aspirant from the
county for congressional hOnors, [
vet they did not like to assume the
of party bosses and say to .
Mr.. Bailey or anyone else that he
should not be candidate. The
question was mp to the committee,
however, and as one of its duties is
TO safeguard the interests Of the
party to the extent of It's authority,
Il decided not to evade the respon
so the question was sub.
nltted to subcommittee and
-hree Democrats not members of
The committee.
There could but bc one answer to
he question, and so it was decided
hat it would not be to the interest
# the party locally for both aspir-
lnts for Congress to remain in the
ace. To this report we under
itand that Mr.. Bradley gracefully
'ielded. We commend the loyal
md sacrificing spirit manifested by
Mr.. Bradley, who if he were nom.
mated by the Democrats for Con.
yress, would make strong man on
he ticket. His record in the
House and State Senate is such as
o make him very popular among
many Democrats in the district and
among its thousands of
miners. We understand that
iome of his friends are urging him
o make the race for County Col
ector-which is the most remu-
lerative Office within the gift of the
people of the county-but we do
!ot know whether he will consent
0 this or not.

MORE TROUBLE AT
BALTIMORE AVIATION GROUND
Ticket Sellers Arrested Sunda,f Under
an Old Blue Law.

Baltimore, Nov 6.-The Baltimore
aviation meet, interrupted by the
storm of Thursday, which wrecked
both hangers and damaged a number
of the aeroplanes stored in them, was
resumed today in the presen ee of a
large crowd. But the trouble; of the
promoters were not at an end. The
commissioners of Baltimore county,
within which the aviation field lies,
declared last night that they woud
not permit the resumption. Howev er,
the county police today arrested only
ten ticket sellers and other officials
who We're taken before justice of
the peace and released under small
bail. The county commissioners are
said to have acted under a very old
blue law
The aviators had not made as good
progress as was anticipated in re-
pairing the damage to their aeroplanes
caused by the cola pse of the hangers
Thursday night, so that there were
no formal contests today. Hubert
Latham made three exhibition flights.
J. Armstrong Drexel made a try for
altitude and reached a height of $500
feet. The programme of contests will
be resumed tomorrow when all the
aviators will, it is promised, be ready.
Announcement of Saturday next as
an added day was made tonight by
Col. Jerome H. Joyce, president of the
aviation cOmpaDy.
