Several of Mr.. Taft's recommends
lions are now being considered in both
Senate and House Committees and will
soon be reported and debated in both
Houses of Congress. 1t is a mistaken
idea on the part of the press and public
to assume that the pledges of political
party can be redeemed in one session of
Congress, and that all the recommends
tons Of the President in his annual mes
sage can be Immediately taken I'D and
enacted into law. Some of the great
reforms which the Republican party
and the President wish to bring about
must be left until the 62d Congress. and
for that reason it is necessary that there
be Republican House of Representa-.
tivss to unite with Republican Senate
and to enact as far as possible the Pres
ident's policies, making his term a COM
plete and successful one.

The record of Taft's first year is one
that has rarely, if ever, been equaled
since the first year of Mr.. Lincoln's adj
ministration. In the first place the
passage of a great tariff act like the
Payne bill which most substantially re-
vised the tariff was in itself an accom-
plishment of no mean order. But the
tariff law did more than to make
change in the schedules and to bring
about general lowering of dutiss-it

CISCO police court 1t was the regular
morning company of "drunks and dis
orderlies. Some were old and harden
ed, others hung their heads in shame.
Just as the momentary disorder attend
ing the bringing in of the prisoners
quieted down strange thing happened.
A strong, clear voice from below began
singing:
Last night as lay a-sleeping,
There came dream so fair"
Last night! 1t had been for them all
nightmare or drunken stupor. The
song was a contrast to the horrible fact
that no one could fail of sudden shock
at the thought the song suggested.
Il stood in old Jerusalem,
Beside the Temple there
the song went on. The Judge had
paused. He made a quiet inquiry. A
former member of a famous opera COM
pany, known all over the country. was
awaiting trial for forgery. 1t was he
who was singing in his cell.
Meantime the song went on, and eyerv
man IN the line showed emotion. One
or two dropped on their knees; one boy.

effort at self-control. leaned against the
wall, buried his face against his folded

AT length one man protested

NIT to this? We're here to take our
punishment, but this" He, too. be-
gan to sob.
1t was impossible to proceed with the
business Of the court, yet the Judge
gave no order to stop the song. The
police sergeant, after an effort to keep
the men in line, stepped back and wait |
ed with the rest. The song moved on |
to its climax:
Jerusalem, Jerusalem! Sing for
the night il o'erl
Hosanna in the highestl Hosanna

In an ecstaey of melody the last words
rang out, and then there was silence.
The judge looked into the faces of the
men before him. There was not one
who was not touched by the song; not
one In whom some better impulse was
not stirred. He did not call the cases
singly-a kind word of advice, and he
dismissed them all. No man was fined

Our longer growing reasons, which
enable US to produce 4 greater variety
or feed crops at less cost, are the true
conditions which may be turned 10 an
immense advantage in the growing OF
live stock. The growing Of farm ami
mails is so very largely a question Of
feeding farm animals, that the impor-
lance Of the fact that we can grow two
and three feed crops on given piece
OF land each year, cannot be over-esti-
mated.
1t must not be forgotten, however.
that this natural advantage which we
possess In the producing of feed crops,
VIII avail US nothing unless we actually
grow the crops and feed them to live
stock. 1t will avail US nothing, though
the climate and land may be able to
produce two or three feed crops each
year, if We only make it grow one. or
do not feed these crops to the right sort
Of animals in the right way after they
are produced.
The fact that our lands are now less
productive per crop and per acre is
only temporary disadvantage at most,
Tor by the growing of two and three

the feeding Of these to live stock, our
soils will, In short time, be made as

Annual Report Of the Health Commissioner

The Virginia Health Bulletin for Jam
uary and February contains the annual
report of Eunion G. Williams, Cormir-
sioner Of Health. The report is a good
one, and will no doubt be carefully
studied by those having an interest in
the good health Of the citizens of this
State. The report, as a whole, is too
long for review here, but among other
things the commissioner pays the fol-
lowing we'll deserved tribute to the press
OF the State for the aid given the de-
partment In the cause of good health:
One of the most efficient and sue
cessful features Of the educational cam
paign has been the press service, inau-
gurated at the beginning of the year.
We realized that the press of the State
could, if properly enlisted, be a most
potential agency in health work. and
we have striven to secure its aid. The
Ssate press has carried an enormous
amount of matter prepared by this de-
partment, giving authentic and useful
information, and of such interest as 70
be generally read. Every effort has
been made 20 give to the press service
news as well as health value. The oues-
lions Of public health which were up-
permost at the time have been regularly
discussed. For example, when small
pox was apparently on the increase IN
the State, various warnings were circu-
lated through the State; when typhoid
fever began to appear, that was dis
cussed in the press notices; whom the
peilagra menace appeared, that became
the theme Of a number of notices.
This service has been of great value
In giving accurate health news to the
people and, at the same time, has saved
the department from the spread of
needlessly alarming or sensational sto-
ries.
In this connection, the department
wishes to express its hearty apprecia-
ton OF the manner in which the State
papers have co-operated through the
press service, in spreading the gospel
OF good health. We have found the ed
itors as enlightened as they were cour-
teous, and as generous in their display
OF health items as they were apprecia
tive of their Importance. We attribute
no little of the departments success to
this broad-minded support of the press.

Economy was the chief reason as
signed by the Virginia Democrats for
the making of a new constitution. The
expenses of the State government IN
der the old constitution were less than
three million dollars annually. The Vir-
ginia Legislature, which has Just COM
pleted its session, has made an appro-
priation of twelve million dollars to
cover the expenses of the State for 1910
and 1911, or an annual expenditure of
six million dollars. How does this strike

economy?
