PORTUGAL TO THE FRONT

Portugal's pleasing exhibition OF
comparatively painless dentistry in the
matter OF replacing a worn stump ci
monarchy with full set of perfectly
good republican teeth, deserves all the
free advertising it has received, and
more serious thought than it is al'i to
receive from the az GRACE individual.
The result achieved ard the medium
employed are old stories in the history
of human progress.
Since Adam revolted against life
of luxurious iassitude and won fol-
mankind the unspeakable blessing Of
labor, the modus operandi of asserting
divine rights has varied only as te
magnitude.
The streets of Paris ran ankle-deeT

of the watching, for the wires flashed
news that Roanoke had grown from

Virginians will delight in this remark

ELECTION VACATED

The result of the investigation at
Norfolk of the 'doings" in the prima-
nv. is much as was anticipated. The
committee got a smatterlng only OF
the fraud ard corruption that went on
there, Tie real facts can never be fui-
w know n. Unless something very glar-
ing is found, the election usually is set
down as reasonably regular and fair.
But this time some of the dirty linen
was aired. The people there knew 1t
needed airing, and when the mass
meeting took place, i'll which MI.
Martin received such "warm" recep'
lion, there was no longer anything to
do but inv estigate, and on inveslisa
lion nothing remained to be done bu,
declare the election void. If the pri
mary held for governor had been in
vestieated, there is little doubt but thai
there would have been general how
over the State, and some action nigh
have Lcen forced 10 test the fairness O
it. AS il is the public is practically
satisfied that the present governor doe
not necessarily hold his office by sucf
means as ought to appeal to just ant

OPENING WIDER THE GATES

That the Episcopal Church is grow
ing more lenient toward other faith,
was indicated when resolution was
introduced on Friday last before the
House of Deputies at the Triennlal
General Convention of the Church,
now being held in Cincinnati
seemingly with widespread approval
to strike out the words "Jews, Turks,
infidels and heritics" from the Good
Friday prayer, and to substitute the
milder phrase, ''those who erred from
the truth"
In this discussion Mr.. J. Pierreponl
Morgan took part. The object is to lei
in many who have heretofore been
excluded. But if the ban should ex'
tend to ..'those who erred from the
truth" we very much fear more Will
pe excluded than before. The latter
phrase seems milder, but it is surely
broader. If not in, there are some VINO
are neither "Jews, Turks nor infiidels'
who would be compelled to climb uF
some other way, for they could never
enter in at the straight gate.

HAS ANOTHER OAK BEEN UP
ROOTED

The friends of Senator Elkins are
seriously apprehensive of his physical
condition. He does pot rebound since
his recent illness, and there are many
who fear he will never be himself
again. With Aldrich, Rale, Burrows
and Elkins out of the Senate, possibly
the trusts will not make SO bold, and
they can lie handled without the in
surgents getting too militant. There
never was such a hole made in body
outside our battleship Maine at one
explosion, as seems 10 have been made

moments 10y the outburst OF pubic
opinion. A mere remnant of the
"Old Guard'', only remains, indeed
there are those who irreverently speak
of it as the "rem ains' of the old guard.

defender should be no more, if this
sturdy oak in the forest of corporations
should fall to the ground?

THE DEMAND GROWING

The demand that steam" be started
against Martin and Swanson is grow
ing more and more insistent. The de-
velopments at Norfolk have been such
as to greatly discredit the "organiza-
tion," and seeing them now has
tended to discredit political conditions
all along. A correspondent at nor
folk sends out the following, and the
statement therein that Trehy, the
democratic boss of Norfolk, has been
parceling out, with Alvah Martin, the
republican boss, the offices, has suffl-
Gent in it to create nausea, but when
the statement is made that ''Trehy Is
Senator Martins henchman," it does
look as if it is time to make change
The correspondent in part says:
"Following the attacks by the press
OF the State, the younger men OF Nor
folk came suddenly to realization OF
the domination by INSCRIPTIONS
bosses. At mass meeting called by
them, Senator Martin attempted to
stem the tide of anti-machlne sentl-
ment and was Missed back to his seat.
eThe State Central Committee nam
ed a subcommittee to take testimony,
and the testimony taken shocked the
Sc nsibilities of the district.
"James V. Trehy is the Democratic
CITY boss of Norfolk. He is allied In
all his transactions with Alvah h.
Martin, the Republican boss OF Nor
folk county. By their arrangement
the county offices were equally DIVIDED
between the Democrats and the Re
publicans. The Democrats were al
lowed to control the city situation ano
took no hand in county affairs. The
new group of reformers are aligned
against this bipartisan control. james
v. Trehy is Senator Martins bench
man."
This is what decent democrats II
other parts of the state are up agalns
and surely they do not want any more
of it.

Little Seven-Year-Old "Bud"
Daugherty Painfully Injured

Members Dressed by Ply
stefan. Narrow Escape From
Death

Little seven year old bud" Daueh.
erty met with q painful accident
Tuesday afternoon near his home in
the Buttermilk Spring neighoorhood,
and one from which he was fortunate
to emerge with his life
It seems that he. together with his
little friend JOHNNY VanFOsssn, of the
tender age Of years, went to the G.
and o. railroad tracks, which pass near
their home, with the secret intention
Of hopping slow freight. p" This
the little tots have done before, un-
known to their parents, but it is safe
to say there is not apt to be a recur-
renee of this dangerous pastime. 1t
has been their habit to catch the bot
tom step of the swiftly moving freight
cars, the only one they could reach,
swing there for short distance, and
then drop to the ground. Little Van
Fossen, only years. (iast think of it,
caught his step of the''slow freight. .
chung to it for about 100 feet and then
dropped to the ground. unframed, to
watch his com papion. bud" Daugh-
erty got his hold, and was having the
time of his life dangling in the air with
his feet hanging down. Had ne let go
where his companion did, all would
have been well, as far as injury was
concerned. But he wanted to ride
further. A cattle guard lay just ahead
of him, with it's sharp, saw like teeth
sticking up, much closer to the car step
than the surrounding ground. Little
Daugherty did not realize his danger
until his tiny feet were dragged the
length of two of uhess coarse, saw-like
blades and his little feet were sawed
to the bone. Had he dropped on the
cattle guard he wonld probably have
been ground to pieces beneath the
wheels. AS it was. with his feet ter.
ribly lacerated and bleeding, he pluck
lily held on until the obstruction was
passed and then dropped to the ground
in heap. A physician was summoned
harriedly and the ugly wounds were
dressed btt little Daugherty will not
be able to walk for several weeks. His
father and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Ed.
Daugherty, are very much distressed
but realize how much more serious the
accident might have been and hope
other little boys will profit by his ex-
perience and not play around rail
road trains. Mr.. and Mrs. w. N.
VanFossen also think lot OF little
"Johnny," their son. and needless tc
say he was provided with sufficient in
luce nent to play so somewhere else be-
sizes the vicinity of death dealing
