The Late Judge Garnctt.


The late Judge G. Taylor Garnett.
OF Mathews county, would in all
probability have been alive to-day and
an occupant of the circuit bench of
Virginia but for his refusal to have
part in an ugly piece of political work
which involved the electoral board of
one OF the counties in his circuit
Judge Garnett, who had been for
some years county judge of Mathews
and Middlesex, succeeded to a circuit
1udgeship, including his county, after
the Constitutional Convention had
done away with the old county court
system. He unfortunately drew Il
short term, and while 1t was in
progress he was told that in order to
secure certain local support for his
reelection by the General Assembly
he would have to make his next cleo
toral board appointments with a view
to the wishes of certain faction.
Judge Garnett Indignantly refused !.
and though the facts in the case were
submitted for the Legislatures con-
sideration when the time for his re-
election arrived, he was defeated by
close margin, according to the sug-
gestion he had received. AS this pa
per and others said at the time. the
defeat of Judge Garnett under the
circumstances was much more honor
able to him than would have been his
continuance on the bench on the
terms submitted by the politicians
who seemed to hold the balance of
power.

The Tariff HOodoo.

Congress is going to investigate the high cost Of
living and the President says the tariff must be
brought to bar and put on trial But that will be
useless. The tariff is convicted in advance If
the protective tariff did not raise prices, nobody
would want il. The tariff is high price measure
sor II Is nothing. Its advocates used to try to be-
guile the people by saying that protection merely
kept out foreign competition and that competition at
BONE kept prices down But the administration
exposed this little fraud completely, if it needed to
ahe exposed, when it proposed to buy Panama
supplies in the open markets OF the world because
they could be had cheaper abroad than at home

In Tuesdays issue we undertook to describe the
Wall Street game and how it is usually played.
But the United Press says that in the present in
stance il is the shcarers and not the lambs that got
SHARED; that many of the big brokers loaded up
with cheap stocks expecting to be able later on to
hand them out to the lambs at big profits. But
according the United Press the public refused to
buy their wares which have now become drug on
the market"
We accept this statement with due allowance for
all news that comes out of Wall Street and yet as
said yesterday it does seem that the public
should have learned by this time that-th Wall
Street game is buneo game and that the outsider
who plays it puts himself in the hands of the Phil
stines.

No denial is now made that the tariff is responsible
in part at least for the higher cost of living.
But that is not the ,only indictment against the
tariff, Since the confession Republicans have been
saying that although the tariff may increase ex-
penses, it makes wages higher and promotes pros
perity. The good times that came after the coun-
try recovered from the panic OF 1898 attributed
to the tariff. In the vocabulary of RepubCanism,
tariff and prosperity synonymous terms One
cannot be without the other and where is there
the other is also. Yet the tariff was in full force
and effect and had been in full force and effect for
ten years when the panic of 1907 came on, And
now comes Prophet Leslie NJ. Shaw. former Secre-
tary of the Treasury and Republican protection
list, with the prediction that the country is APP
preaching period Of industrial and financial de
pre5@on," Every business man is aware of the
coming disturbances, says MIR. Shaw. High
living and two rapid and false recovery after the
last panic are causes,
This remark and this condition should not escape
the attention of President Taft and the investigating
committee. How far is the tariff responsible for
high prices? How far is it responsible for the con-
dition which Mr.. Shaw declares and what bearing
has it on the calamity which he predicts
1t is high time that the American people looked
this tariff question full in the face. They have
humbuggcd themselves with it long enough 1t has
become and superstition and national
hoodoo Never better time than now to exercise
it.

Leslie I'M. Shaw, former secretary OF
the treasury, in a newspaper interview
printed August u, 1903, said:
ssIt is all nonsense to talk about a
revision of the tariff. 1t can not be
done. You may as well understand
that at the outset. Republicans who
are demanding revision are demanding
the impossible"

that the rank and file of The republicans

Sentiment in Politics.

From the Newark Evening News.
M SOL it is all right to be sentimental
about your mother, or your best girl, or
your school, or your home, but never be
sentimental about your political party.
Brown, Jones and Smith were senti-
mentaliSts in politics. For sentimental
reasons they voted the regular ticket of
a glorious old party that has kept the
United States on her feet for fifty years.
when she has not been on her knees.
Aided by the votes of Jones, Brown
and Smith, the party machine put mer
in municipal Office who were extrava-
CANT and neglectful.
Taxes were therefore high.
Accordingly high were the tents that
Jones, Brown and Smith had to pay.
The party machine sent men to the
State capital at Washington to do the
bidding of the Trusts, the railroads and
Wall Street, who were the owners and
proprietOrs of the party machine.
Living was therefore almost costly
enough to be regarded as a luxury, and
Jones, Brown and Smith felt large cal
lOus spots growing on their necks from
the pressure of the yoke.
That was years ago, and the callous
spots are thicker to -day than ever before.
To-day Jones has it in for the Trusts
something fielce.
Brown would rather denounce the
railroads than eat.
Smith declares that Wall Street is a
vampire.
Next fall Jones, Brown and Smith
will 60 to the poles and vote the regular
ticket as usual.
Loyalty is a noble quality, my son;
but loyalty to a party that is disloyal
to you is sentimental tommyrot.

A Word to the Boys

A W0rQ TO the Doyo
Gubernational Candidate Wilson ac-
cepted an invitation to address the
$50 boys, students of Wenonah Military
Academy on the 9th.
We quote a few paragraphs from his
talk because he knows something ABOUT
boys, being the head of Princeton Uni
versity where 1900 young men are
being educated. What he said should DC
read and re.read in every home where
boys live, and in schools as well. Not
that it is new but because it is true
advice. DR.. wilson said:
ST wish it were possible said the
candidate, ';to impress upon fellows
at your age the great Importance OF
what you are doing here. l sup,
pose. as most boys do, chat schooi
is a necessary evil, and few realize
that it is to equip them for the bat
tie of life. The men who loaf don't
amount to anything; it is only the
men who achieve who get anywhere.
sIt is a question for you to answer
whether you are going to lie mere tools
in the hands of some II else, or are
going to be masters and take hold OF
things. Don't be foolish enought to ask
what's the sense Of all this. You go to
the gymnasium and wonder what's the
nse of it all. You will never perform
on the parallel bars with your business
partner. You are %expendlng gooo
muscular strength and wonder what's
the use of it all. You are just getting
yo,,r muscles in shape to answer your
call when the time comes for your use
of them.
SIT is just like the piece of struct-
ural steel, fitted in all its fbres to meet
the strain in the steamship when The
stress of storm of the Atlantic comes.
It is Just so with your books. They
are getting you men fully fit when the
contingency arises and you are called
upon to Wrestle with the problems OF
life: you are mentally fit to meet the
stress. Don't lose sight OF the fact
that you want to play a creditable part
in the world, to do something Of its
great work.

place for men. Some one said, If you

saying that direct primaries ought to
