Points Regarding the Census.

The census begins April Is and must
be completed in two weeks in cities
and in thirty days in all other areaa.
The enumerators will wear a badage
inscribed "United States Census, 1910. y
The law requires every adult person
to furnish the prescribed information,
but also provides that it shall be treated
conidentially, SO that no injury can
come to any person from answering the
questions.
The President has issued a proclama-
ton, calling on all citizens to cooperate
with the Census and assuring them
that it has nothing to do with taxation,
army or jury service, compulsory
school attendance, regulation of inn
migration, or enforcement of any law,
and that no one can be injured by ans
wering the inquiries.
1t is of the utmost importance that
the census of population and agricult-
ure in this state be complete and cor
rect.
Therefore every person should
promptly, accurately, and completely
answer the Census questions asked by
the enumeratorS.

The Richmond Journal of Monday
has the following timely editorial on
the question of "who is ito in Wash
ington:
"Who's whon in Washington :? Is
Taft the real thing, or in his Cabinet
creation, Wickersham
The President held out the olive
branch to the insurgent Republicans
in his address before the League of Re
publican State Clubs in Washington
Saturday night. His Attorney Gen
eral, on the same night, spoke in
Chicago, and advised the insurgents to
clear out.
President Taft said:
stNo man has the right to read anoth-
er man out of the Republican party.
He reads himself out if he is disloyal
to the party, and if he is not, he can
by his works show that loyalty. So
you see, my friends, am in no defiant
spirit tonight. l want everybody in
the ranks, and want the help of all
Republicans. Whether they may in
the past have slipped away little, l
want them back to help that grand old
party, upon which-and say it with
the utmost Difference to our friends, the
Democrats-that grand old party upon
which the real progress of this country
depends.
But Attorney-G General Wickersham
spoke defiantly, saying:
81 speak to an assembly of loyal Re
publicans. L am sure 1 voice your
thought when l say the time of rum
ming with the hare and hunting with
the hounds is over, and everyone must
choose whether or not he is for the
President and the Republican party.
He that hath no stomach to the fight
let him depart. Treason has ever con-
sisted in giving aid and comfort to the
enemy. If anyone wishes to join the
Democratic party, let him do so. But
let him not claim to be Republican,
and in and out Of season work to de-
feat Republican measures and to sub
vert the influence of the Republican
President.
II We were an insurgent Republican
we would go back or not, just as we
pleased-but President Taft's advice
would appeal to US as sensible, certain
ly in comparison with that which Mr.
Wickersham utters.

Fat Job for Byrd.

Governor Mann has named Richard
E. Byrd, of Winchester, as special at
torney for the State and any of its de-
partments. The appointment is made
under contract and is for two years, the
law providing that the salary shall not
exceed $1,000 in any one year. Mr..
Byrd will act as special counsel for the
State when his services are required,
and will also represent the various
boards, colleges, or for any purpose,
which the Governor and the Attorney
General may deem proper or right that
he shall act. 1t is held that under the
terms of the act providing for the APP
polntment it is not an office, as under
the law Mr.. Byrd would be ineligible
for appointment. The position will
not in the least interfere with Mr..
Byrd's practice as member of the bar
in that city or elsewhere. The appoint
ment was made April 4th, but was not
announced until the 18th. The salary
will be 81 1000 per annum.

That Va.-W. Va. Debt.

The Richmond Leader of Monday
has the following about the debt ques-
ton between Virginia and West Vir-
ginia: "The decree or report submitted
by Special Master Charles E. Littlefield
in the Virginia-W West Virginia debt case
is all that we expected or desired" SAID
Judge Samuel w. Williams, Attorney
General, sand tojudge from the reports
of the papers in West Virginia the re-
port is far less satisfactory there than
here. All that 1 have to say is that
the lawyers in the case, representing
Virginia, will see that her interests are
protected as far as possible"
Judge Williams said that confer
ence had been held here on Saturday,
at which was present all the members
of the counsel for the certificate holders
of Virginia-West Virginia, except that
Major Holmes Conrad, of Winchester,
was not in attendance.
Virginia and West Virginia have till
April 10Th in which to file objections
and exceptions to the report, and there
is general belief that West Virginia
will open her strongest arguments
against the consideration of the report.
1t is not known that Virginia will have
a word to say is connection with the
matter, except in SO far as the objec
tions to be filed by West Virginia may
affect the State of Virginia. Virginia
Will be represented by counsel, bnt il
is impossible at this time to say who
will go to Washington. Possibly, how
ever, all the lawyers will be on hand.

poet refers toin these beautiful lines:
els this time to be lonely and sad,
When our mother nature laughs
around,
When even the deep blue heavens
look glad,
And gladness breathes from the
poisoning ground.
We rejoice in all the gladness of ma
ture, and we also feel rejoiced over the
gentle downpouring of rain. Our veg
etaJion is being refreshed and the
farmer feels rejoiced.
Our pastor, Rev. A. H. Hamilton

received at headquarters of the State
Anti-Tuberculosis Association in Rich
mond. Preachers from all sections of
the State have written to the officers
of the State Association and to the
State Board of Health for literature on
tuberculosis and have announced their
purpose Of participating in the observ-
ance of the day. One minister from a
nearby county has written a letter

pulpits regardless of letters from this
office. We are prepared to furnish all
necessary literature on the cause, treat
ment and cure of the disease, and can
supply ministers with as many copies
of the bulletin as they may desire.

Advocacy of woman's suffrage by
the Hmes-Dispatch is strange doctrine.
Those connected with that journal
ought to live for while in city of
some size where women vote and see
how the good women do not vote, and
the bad women do, how venal they
are, and how ones ideals of feminine
sanctity wane away under such condi-
lions. Nothing can create more de-
bauchery in elections than female
suffrage.

MY MARYLAND.

Maryland has just tried by bill
called the Digges bill to prevent negroes
from voting in State and municipal
elections. The negro of Maryland is
too much beloved by the Maryland
politician to be left out in the cold by
any such bill. Maryland politicians
love the ignorant and vicious negro.
On several occasions Maryland has had
opportunity to purge her electorate
and raise its standard. But politics
there was at SO low an ebb, that the
politician held on to the vicious and
ignorant negro, because he himself was
too often vicious and ignorant and such
misery loves company. The renegade
in Maryland is the corner stone. The
Democratic desertsr is the high muck
a-muck. Such politicians love the
negro because he is useful to them.
Honest men they do not need. Mary
land will continue to enjoy some doubt
full politicians and the negro in his
entirety.

CLOUDING THE ISSUE.

The Lodge bill requiring that moth
ing in the shape of food shall be left in
cold storage longer than one year, is a
step toward centralized government
not dreamed of before. 1t is also a step
toward an increase of government en-
ployees not dreamed of by the most
diligent office seekers. In the first
first place it will be recalled that the
government has nothing to do with
any food stuffs, unless they he OF an in
terstate nature; that is all beef killed
in Virginia and put into Virginia cold
storage plants, can remain there under
existing laws as long as the elephants
have remained in the ice of Northern
Siberia, and Uncle Sam cannot touch
it. If meat, eggs, etc., are shipped
here from another State it would be
very different. But what is cumber
some and almost impossible is thai
every storage plant in the country
would be compelled to have a federal
officer at its door. The thing is i'm
practible and foolish. We fear it is ar
effort on the part of the advocates o.
of the Payne-Aldr Tariff bill to di
vert the issue. They are trying to put
the blame on the cold storage plants
instead of leaving it on the tariff where
it justly belongs. The committee was
appointed with the direct purpose ir
mind, of shielding the odious tariff bill
which every day develops some new
outrage. The plan of Mr.. Lodge il
worthy tariff schemer.
