THE SECOND DISTRICT.

THE SECOND DISTRICT.
AS the investigation OF the Second
district democratic congressional pri-
mary draws to Il close developments
become more startling.
John L. Watson, banker OF Ports
mouth, who was brought into the lime
light Thursday through an accusation
that he urged J. Martin Davis to put a
ballot in the box in the name of an alb
sent man, saying that he (Watson)
would put one in for another absentee,
became involved in another quarter
yesterday.
Two weeks ago, at massmeeting, in
Portsmouth, Watson favored the
adoption OF resolution which ques-
toned the integrity of the democratic
state central committee. No justice,
according to Watson. could be got from
the committee. The resolution was
| voted down.
The subcommittee of the state CEN
trail committee conducting the invcstl-
CATION recently heard OF it. W. E.
Carson, a member of the central COM
mittee and OF the subcommittee rep
resenting the Seventh congressional
district, took it personally, and yester-
day afternoon went after Watson in
terms more expressive than eloquent.
He sent word to him by Representative
MAYNARD, the contestant in the lnvestl-
ton and personal friend OF Watson,
that he was a liar and ballot-box
suffer.
Maynard is said to be occupying the
position of peacemakcr between the
two belligerents, it being his purpose to
persuade Watson to write Carson n
letter OF apology for the language con-
tanned in the resolution.
Carson's message to Watson was
widely discussed and the result OF it
speculated upon. Watson was ut the
meeting OF the investigation committee
last night. He sat through the pro-
ceedings in silence.
The probing into the records OF the
primary continued, with the usual re-
suit. The dead, absent and missing
we're still among those recorded rs rot-
ing in Norfolk and Portsmouth. \
considerable number OF persons, ii APP
pears, voted illegally. Yesterday morn
ing Q. 7. Mccoy, an inmate OF the
almshouse of Norfolk, was before
the committee. His name appeared
on the poll-books of the Second pre-
cinct of the Second ward of Norfolk as
having voted. He testified that he wa;
too i'll to vote on election. Further
more, paupcr cannot vote in pIr,
ginia.
H. NJ. Kerfoot, civil engineer, Of
Norfolk, testified that he voted, but
had not paid his poll tax. He offered
to pay, but was told that it had al
ready been paid He then asked q
receipt for the money, but was toll
that there would be no trouble about
voting. He was introduced by citl
zens' counsel to show that the pol
tax OF voters had been paid by other:
than themselves. This is also illegal
The investigation will close tonight
The probe has been applied nowhere
in the district save in Norkfolk ant
Portsmouth. The committee fount
too much to investigate in the two
cities to get-beyond their borders, ant
not more than half of either city wa
covered. An immense amount o
work has been done, but to inyesti
gate the whole district would take un
til after Christmas.
Counsel engaged in the investigation
will submit argument before the com
mittce today.

THE democrats Of New York have
nominated gentlemen for state Offices
who appeal to all voters, irrespective OF
party affiliations, and who will, it IS
believed, be selected at the approach
ing election. Many people in the EN-
pire state have long since grown tired
OF the sway OF the old guard" with its
train Of abuses OF power, whllo equally
as many more have grown weary OF
Rooseveltism. The democrats have
the best opportunity for years tosIdc-
track the republican party, and no
doubt they will take advantage OF the
present opportunity to snow them out
OF sight. Roosevelt is to be the issue. "
This is the declaration of John A. Dix,
whom the state democratic convention
Yesterday named rs its candidate for
governor. The issues will be the
fallacies OF Roosevelt, and whether the
people are to rule" says Mr.. Dix.
Every democratic campaign speaker
will be instructed to hammer upon the
weakness OF the claim Of the foremost
citizen OF Oyster Bay" and to insist
that, instead of standing for popular
rule, he is more powerful rs boss to,
day than any OF the old guard whom
be opposed.

SATURDAY EVENING. OCT. l

MOVING pictures, it seems, are cal
culsted to bring about good in some
bows as we'll as evil. ConfeSsing to the
theft OF $500 Wednesday, Charles G..
MAYER, II years old, Of Denver, COL,
told magistrate that moving pic
ture depicting mothers suffering
when her boy was taken for stealing
money from the bank in which he was
employed so affected him that he de-
cided to give himself up, take his pun
ishment and begin life anew. The
youth said:
I thought OF my home and dear
mother out in Denver and thcu OF what
I had done. pictured her at home,
proud OF her young son in New YORK
and perhaps wondering why she did
not hear from me. had not written
home since I stole the money, and
tears came to my eyes and | wanted to

Per contra: William Monahan, four
teen years old, of New York, who SAID
his criminal tendencies were the result
OF frequent visits to moving picture
shows pleaded guilty in general scs-
sions Thursday to indictments charging
him with robbery. burglary, grand lar
ceny, assault and receiving stolen
property. Monahan said that he at
tended moving picture show on the
afternoon of September p, and that as
the result OF the impression made by a
picture play he saw there, entitled
Behind the Curtain" he went home,
took his fathers revolver from q bureau
drawer and sailed forth to become Il
criminal. His career was cut short
after he had invaded two apartments.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

You will find good many people
who condemn the present system OF
compulsory education. They claim
that it ought to be left to the child
or his parents to determine whether
he is to have even a rudimentary edu
cation or not. Let us investigate
this claim for a moment.
Under the old system, or lack OF
system, whichever you call it, a boy
stayed away from school and wasted
his time in hunting and fishing, and
goodness knows, what else. Then
the days of manhood came, and he
went from one town to another look
ing for work, but finding none OF
else work of any but remunerative
sort. He wondered why it was. He
blamed the hard world" and its
savage heartlessness whereas in real
ity it was himself who was to blame.
He had destroyed his own future use
fulness and efficiency.
Nor is it very different in the case
of a parent who sends his child to
work when it ought to be attending
school. 1t is all well enough to tell
pathetic stories about the need of
parents for their little ones earn
ings, but it ought to be remembered
that every human child has certain
inalienable rights which not even a
parent has the right to take away.
1t is not merely a question of some
temporary deprivation, but it is a
matter of fixing a barrier between
the child and his future efficiency
that no man can pass over.

The Mother-in-Law.

A Minneapolis man and his sweet
heart eloped to Chicago. The girls
mother followed them hot-foot and
found them quarreling. So she mar
ried the man herself, with the
daughter as bridesmaid. Who
knows what might have come about
had the girls grandmother dropped
in before the ceremony?
This is delightful. 1t adds spice
to living. We can imagine what hap
pened. The mother burst suddenly
upon them with blood in her eye.
The man reflected. He probably fig
ured thus: Here is a very deter
mined woman, who is making things
uncomfortable for me. If l marry
her daughter, l shall have a terrible
mother-in-law. l shall probably
quarrel with a wife anyhow; why
quarrel with two? Better marry her
mother and not have any mother-in-
law than marry the daughter and
live between two fires. So, in pur-
suance of the thought, he up and
marries the prospective mother-in-
law and solves handily a vexatious
problem. There will be no mother
in-law in his family.
And yet we have tender spot for
the mother-in-law, and now that
this incident of the news has opened
the way, why not consider for a
moment the rankest injustice of do
mestic tradition? The mother-in-law
is no brawling termagant. She is
not the bane of mans existence. She
does not habitually make life miser-
able for her daughters husband. On
the contrary, she generally leans to
the side of the son-in-law when she
is called upon as domestic arbiter
and for him she reserves the tender
loins and picks the lightest mullins.
His towel is always fresh and ready
for the bath, his mirror for shaving
placed where there is most light.
Mother-in-law frequently lends mon
ey to son-in-law, and if he is up
against adversely he may live at
home in luxury until things mend.
For his socks mother-in-law has a
willing needle, and when his head
aches it is mother-in-law who
fetches the camphor.
Yes, we have a warm spot for the
mother-in-law just as we have for
the much-abused but long-suffering
clearinghouse landlady. OF course
there are exceptions, but nine of
every ten men who have mother-in-
laws will admit, if they think with
out prejudice, that it's about time
justice were done. From the stand
point of a mans material and spirit
ual comfort, motheT-in-law is a
mighty good thing to have about the
house.-Baltimor Sun.

had never left him since his days
in the Mimic House hospital. Ever
he saw the beautiful face of the suf-
fering woman, heard the voice of
the heart-broken carrier entreating
him to tell all the world what his
Allie was and listened to Rab whin-
ing at the hospital door.
At 10 o'clock one midsummer
night he sat down to tell the tale,
and by 4 o'clock he had finished it..
He called the lecture THE Howgate
Carrier, His Wife and His Dog Rab, ="
but his uncle in introducing the
subject to the Biggar audience
omitted the last word. at which
DR.. John complained that his friend
Rab had been grievously insulted.
There was no doubt he was a dog" "
he explained, but he was a great
deal more-he was Rab." Perhaps
it was to make amends to the faith
full creature that when the story APP
peared in print the author entitled
it "Rab and His Friends" He used
to say that manufactured conversa-
tion was beyond his powers. When
urged to write another "Rab" he
said, THAT is impossible. | cannot

OLD 81 NOTE COMING BACK.
Treasury to Renew Issue Dropped
20 Years Ago.

The old United States 81 note
which disappeared from circulation
In 1885, is to be called into the ser
vice again. Secretary MacVeagh de-
cided that the enormous demand for
bills of smaller denomination war
rants an issue, which was authorized
in 1907, but until now has never
seemed really necessary.
The plates which have been pre-
served in the Bureau of Printing
and Engraving will be pressed into
service and, beginning yesterday, the
notes were issued at about the rate
of S1,2O0,000 a day, until the de-
mand for small bills is met.
There are issued S346,6S1, ,016 of
United States notes. That amount
is authorized by law and does not
change. OF that sum about $751;
100000 is in notes of the denomi-
nation of $40 and upward.
Secretary MacVeagh believes the
demand for notes of larger denom-
nations is amply taken care of by
gold certificates, so beginning yester-
day all United States notes of 500
or more which come into the Treas
ury for redemption or in course of
business will be destroyed and their
value will be issued in notes of 81

HOPE TO DISCOVER
MOUNTAIN OF GOLD
BE, IT,, In in the Dome in
Which tiich Streams of Klon-
dixie Have Their Source.


dixie Have Their Source.
A Tacoma, Wash, special of Sun
day says: In expectation of finding
the ledge which originally contain
ed all the gold of the Klondike re-
gion and in which it is hoped there
yet remain untold millions, an or
ganization of Dawson miners and
business men, assisted by the Do
minion government, has started to
bore a series of tunnels through
the dome in which all of the gold
laden creeks have their source
1t is a venture for a stupendous
amount of wealth. If the eXpecta-
tions of the men who are backing
the project are realized they will
tap the source from which was shed
by erosion the famous placers OF
the Yukon, which when discovered
by George Mccormack startled the
world and inaugurated a stampede
of gold hunters.
From the time when the first
locations at Dawson were made 1t
was noted that all the gold bearing
creeks had their source in one great
dome, or rounded hill, and the
theory that this hill contained the
balance of the treasure that was not
lying in the streams was advanced
by many miners and geologists, yet
nobody had the courage to begin
the immense undertaking of pierre
ing the hill.
Work has now begun on the dome
at the head of Lombard Creek, the
dome from which sulphur, gold bot
tom and several other producing
streams start on their torturous
journey to the Klondike.
Somewhere in this mound, geo.
logists believe, lies the native ma
trice which has converted hundreds
of poor prospectors to men of COM
parative opulence. Whether it lies
in one gigantic whole or is split up
into a series of small stringers, or
whether it has all been carried
away by erosion is something that
the boring of the tunnel will de-
termine.
The tunnel has been completed
for distance of fourteen hundred
feet. 1t is expected that Klondik-
ers will be able to see daylight on
the other side of the rich hill with
in two years. Several small veins
have been encountered.
